The Chen family's children were also confused. This made sense. What was the difference between secretly getting married without telling their parents and eloping? And if they were just notified and not allowed to come, they would come no matter what. It would be better to just invite them and notify the other relatives without inviting them, so that there would be fewer people to deal with.
Chen Xiangnan was almost distracted by his own thoughts, but he finally realized something was wrong: "Captain Yu, you have to invite your parents, but you also have to think about how to deal with them. My sister is such a quiet and traditional comrade, and she has been forced to say so much today. You have to think of a way."
We now understand what you mean and agree with your approach. So, what next? You fled here from Hai City. You couldn't solve the problem there, so you had to flee. Now you want to marry my Xiang Hong. Have you thought of a solution?"
Chen Xiangbei secretly looked at his second brother. It had to be him. How come he was the only one who had a quick mind among the brothers with the same father and mother? Chen Xiangbei had just thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was strange about this matter. Only after his second brother said this did he understand.
Yes, Brother-in-law Yu ran away with Yu Qingqing because he couldn't solve the problems in his own family. Now that he is married to his sister, if he still hasn't come up with a solution, wouldn't he be dragging his sister into the water?
If that were the case, Chen Xiangbei glanced at Yu Hongzhen obscurely, or he could just persuade his sister to divorce. Hey, his sister's style of getting the marriage certificate first and then holding the wedding is not very good. If she doesn't get the certificate now, it will be easy to regret it.
Chen Xiangbei turned around unexpectedly and saw his eldest brother and his family sitting on a bench, looking around blankly. Chen Xiangbei suddenly felt lucky that he was not the dumbest one in the family.
Before Yu Hongzhen could express his opinion, his parents were displeased. Yu's father yelled, "What do you think of us? We are our elders after all. How can you talk to us like that? Do you treat your father like that too?"
Yu's father glared at him, and the Chen children who were seen fell silent. Not only did they talk to Old Chen like that, they had also fought with him.
Old Chen felt wronged, but fortunately, he had been gradually blamed by his children so many times that he was almost numb. Seeing that Yu's father still looked a little bit unacceptable, he persuaded him, "Brother Yu, children are different now. Filial piety is no longer the most important thing. We have to get used to it."
Old Chen would rather be numb than reflect on himself.
Father Yu shook off Old Chen's hand. "Used to it? I raised them all this time, and now they're old and still despised like this. I might as well have thrown them out right after they were born."
Yu Hongzhen countered, "That's great! It would be better to throw them out. Especially Qingqing. It would be better for her not to be thrown out as soon as she was born than to live in this miserable state for so many years. Mom and Dad, I'm telling you this. If you still want to use me as a front when you return to Hai City, don't come live with us."
If you insist on living with me, I'll apply to my higher-ups for discharge. If you move in, it won't be good for Xiang Hong or the army. With your personalities, you'll definitely affect them sooner or later. At worst, I'll just marry into your family and become a live-in son-in-law."
Yu's father raised his hand to hit him, but when he thought of Yu Hongzhen's actions just now, he put his hand down and cursed, "Don't threaten us with such words. If you retire from the army, your wife, who relies on you for her job, will also be unemployed. Then the whole family will have to starve and rely on your father-in-law for support."
Yang Su immediately distanced himself from the matter, "My old Chen's money is not enough to support another family."
Chen Xiangbei opened his mouth and cursed, "Kick your whole family of blood-sucking worms out. My dad is more than enough to support anyone."
Old Chen was on Yang Su's side. He was still holding a grudge against them for fighting with him before, so he naturally wouldn't help them. "What's the point of a married daughter often returning to her parents' home? I have a son, so I don't need to marry him in."
Tang Jiao, who had always been reminded by Chen Xiangnan to talk less and eat more, couldn't help but say, "Dad, you don't have to be mean to me. If there wasn't any room for us at home, Xiangnan and I wouldn't stay at my mother's house so often."
Yang Su: "Second daughter-in-law, your room is still there. Your father and I have never let you suffer any injustice."
Chen Xiangbei yelled, "All you do is give the apples my dad allocated from the factory to your three sons. My second sister-in-law is pregnant, and you can't even see the apple peels. Isn't that unfair?"
Yu Hongzhen: "Xiang Hong's current job wasn't found by me. She's very capable, and her brothers are very supportive. Her situation is infinitely better than ours."
Yu's mother: "How can a woman from a small town who has been to the countryside be any better? Only someone as superficial as you would like her."
Yu Hongzhen: "So you still want me, a shallow-minded person, to help you take care of your children, and you want to come over here and bully me after you retire?"
Yu's mother: "You are my son, you should support me."
Yu Hongzhen: "First, do what a mother should do for Qingqing, and then say this to me."
The Chen family started arguing among themselves. Yu's father and mother quarreled with Yu Hongzhen and Yu Qingqing, and Chen Xianghong quarreled here and there, scolding until her cheeks were sore.
In the end, the food was cold, but they were still arguing loudly.
People in the state-owned restaurant pretended to eat but actually finished their dishes and refused to leave. They were enjoying the fun, and even the chefs in the restaurant pricked up their ears to listen.
They didn't eat much of the meal, so Chen Xiangdong's family took advantage of it. They were arguing fiercely, and since the elders didn't pick up their chopsticks, Chen Xiangdong's family didn't dare to do so either. Otherwise, the fighting would be concentrated on their family, and they would be accused of being unruly, and they would definitely be attacked by both sides. Chen Xiangdong and his family could see through such trivial matters.
When they had almost finished arguing and were all angry and ready to leave, Chen Xiangdong and the others immediately packed up the food on the table.
Seeing their younger brothers and sisters’ red faces from quarreling, they even had the leisure to stuff some food wrapped in oil paper into their hands so that they could have a few bites if they were hungry from the quarreling.
They didn't keep it for themselves, but they didn't give it to Old Chen. This old man is so mean.
Everyone expected that the meeting between the in-laws at noon would turn out to be unpleasant.
Yu's father and mother didn't even want to go to the dinner with Old Lady Xia in the evening. If that madman started fighting, they might not be able to stop him. If something happened to the child they had worked so hard to conceive, it would be a big loss.
Anyway, the official wedding is just a few days away, so it will be fine if they meet then. Yu's mother expressed her determination. Even if Yu Hongzhen wanted to force her to go, she would not go.
But after hearing their decision not to go, Yu Hongzhen's face was relieved. He turned to Chen Xianghong and said, "We can have a pleasant dinner tonight."
Yu's father and mother were of course unhappy when their son said in front of their daughter-in-law that he had a bad time eating with them. As her temper flared up, Yu's mother said, "Let's eat together. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Besides, it would be rude not to go to the dinner."
Yu Hongzhen said sarcastically, "You guys don't want me to be too comfortable, are you? You're arguing with me about this. What are the rules? When we had the previous quarrel, you threw all the rules away."
