"Third brother, if your wife really doesn't like our family, she doesn't have to come. Why say such things on such a happy day? Won't it make everyone unhappy?" Old Chen didn't want to scold Xu Meiyu directly. Now was not the time when Old Lady Xia was still alive, and as the eldest brother, it was not easy for him to speak directly to his third brother's wife.
As for Yang Su beside him, she had even less standing. She was an old lady who had just secretly obtained a marriage certificate with Old Chen, and she even got involved when Old Chen was arguing with his relatives. Wasn't she just asking for trouble?
Therefore, no matter how Old Chen winked at Yang Su, Yang Su pretended to be blind and could not see.
They were a couple who got married later in life. She would have said a few words for him when she still had the upper hand. But now was obviously not the time for her to speak. Yang Su was not interested in fighting for this old man.
Chen Weimin pulled on Xu Meiyu's sleeve, but she shook him off. "Chen Weimin, don't pull me. I know what I'm doing, but you, the good brother, are still confused. If you want to act like a brother with everyone, you have to consider the situation."
Old Chen: "Xu Meiyu, I'm giving you face by not scolding you directly. Was it because I was too kind to your family before that you thought I was a person without temper, and you always bullied our family?
I'm telling you, don't be shameless. Who do you think you are? Did I let you down when we fought when Xinhe got married? "
Xu Meiyu gnashed her teeth and said, "You still have the nerve to say that I bullied your family. If you hadn't agreed, who would bully your family? What did you say when you sent Sister Xia to my house before? You said that she can work, so I can just treat her as my own family member. You also said that she likes to work, and she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't work, right?
Sending others over as a favor, while you hide behind and reap all the benefits, don't you feel guilty about doing this? You've done it more than once, right? In the past, Sister Xia stood in front of you and took all the criticism, while you sat back and enjoyed being criticized for your bad temper. Now, here comes someone who's not quite as stupid, but definitely not as smart.
Yang Su pointed at himself in confusion, "Are you talking about me?"
Xu Meiyu: "Otherwise, you think that if you marry him, you can get some money from him and use his connections to find a job for your son. That would be a huge win, right?"
Yang Su didn't say anything. That's what she thought. At this time, work was the most important thing and the most in-demand thing. As long as Old Chen could arrange jobs for her sons and they could contribute money and effort to get married in the future, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Xu Meiyu guessed her thoughts when she saw her expression and said disdainfully, "If you had become a stepmother to the Chen children when they were young, they would have been at your mercy. But they are grown up now. Whatever you take from your eldest brother, they will take back from you in other places in the future.
It's only natural for them to want their things back, and everyone can see what your eldest brother has invested in you and your children. The problem is that in the end, you might get nothing and even be blamed. Meanwhile, the person next to you has a good reputation, and his resources have never left the family.
Of course, there are advantages, too. He'll become estranged from the kids, and he'll also become estranged from you. Thinking about it this way, it seems like everyone is a loser. I really don't know what you're thinking."
Yang Su didn't think much of it. How could something given to their family be taken away again? As for reputation, it was of no use to her. Her reputation had been rotten since she was a child. Only people like Xu Meiyu cared about reputation.
Old Chen didn't know whether Xu Meiyu's words touched his heart or he was unhappy about what she said about being estranged from his child. When he was about to curse again, Chen Weijun came in shouting.
"Brother, what do you mean? What did my third sister-in-law say just now? Did you get a job for this bastard from this woman's family?" Chen Weijun couldn't believe his ears and stared at his brother, demanding an explanation.
Old Chen said in a deep voice, "As an elder, can you please be more careful with your words? I shouldn't have asked you to come."
Chen Weijun pointed at Yang Su and said, "I just said 'little bastard' and you said that to me. I didn't say anything wrong. Big brother, do you know that my son Li Gang was blocked at the door every day by the rural affairs office? I begged and pleaded with everyone to find him a job. In the end, I emptied my family's savings before I got a temporary job.
But you, your stepson, who is completely unrelated to you, and you've only known him for a short time, are already buying him a job, even using your own salary to buy him a job. Your Chen Xiangnan never received this kind of treatment before, and you're actually giving it to a shameless little bastard?
Now tell me, is this little bastard the one you gave birth to with this woman behind my ex-sister-in-law's back? Are these little bastards yours? If you say they are, I can understand a little bit, tell me."
Chen Weijun hadn't even said a word to anyone when he entered the room, and he looked like he was going crazy.
Was that a job his big brother gave that little bastard? That was his life.
Old Chen slapped Chen Weijun on the back of the head. "You're questioning me, and you're using such vicious words to question me. Do you know how much trouble it will cause me if someone with ulterior motives hears it? I'll be arrested and interrogated. Do you want to kill me?"
Chen Weijun simply couldn't listen to Old Chen's bullshit, "Then do you know how much trouble you've caused me? I really want to kill those little bastards.
I'm still vicious, but how could I be as vicious as you? You'd rather have my Liqiang arrested and sent to the countryside than give us a job to deal with the emergency, yet you easily found a job for this little bastard. You've watched my Liqiang grow up, he calls you uncle, and you've only known this little bastard for a few days?"
Fang Rong also felt as if her heart was being ripped out of her chest. "Brother, even if you hate Wei Jun and me because of what happened last time, the child is innocent. He's your nephew. How could you just stand by and watch him die?"
Xu Meiyu shut her mouth immediately. She was extremely angry with Old Chen just now. She felt that this old man had no shame at all. Anyone who heard what he did would spit in her mouth.
However, when Chen Weijun and his wife came to her, she didn't know what to say for a moment. They were even more shameless than Old Chen.
Xu Meiyu was also a little traumatized, fearing that the previous situation would repeat itself. She was afraid that after the two of them found out that Old Chen didn't care about them at all, he would cling to her like last time and force her to find a job for their son.
It would be better to lower her presence first. She really didn't want to argue with these two extremely stupid guys. Not only would it be embarrassing, but they wouldn't listen to her and there was no way to communicate.
