Ever since the last quarrel with Chen Weijun at Chen Mei's house, Old Chen had a grudge against Chen Weijun. But this guy, perhaps because he was a bit clueless since childhood, didn't care whether he was cold to him or not, and continued to treat him the same way as before.
Old Chen felt that even if he talked his mouth off, this bastard still wouldn't understand. So, let it be. He didn't believe in evil and decided to try one last time. "Wei Jun, I can give the money I earned to whoever I want. What are you worrying about?"
Chen Weijun said righteously, "Brother, I'm afraid you'll be cheated. You're so soft-hearted that I don't even want to say anything to you. You can cheat anyone out of their money. You say we're a family, but they're all outsiders, outsiders!"
Old Chen: "When I spent money on your family before, no one said anything. Why didn't you think that this was my money, meant for Xiangdong and the others to spend? When I gave it to you, didn't you accept it with a clear conscience?
And didn't you refuse the job I found for your son? Why didn't you tell Xiangnan that he didn't have a job either and asked me to give the job to Xiangnan first?
Chen Weijun was silent for a while. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Old Chen thought that he was convinced. In fact, everyone is the same person and is selfish, so it is very laughable to see Chen Weijun say such selfless words.
But Chen Weijun wasn't convinced at all. Instead, he was wondering whether he should say something more hurtful to offend his elder brother. He felt that his elder brother, Chen Weiguo, was the most mentally challenged person he had ever met.
Although his relatives all thought Chen Weijun was a family parasite, he was at least doing it for his own family. His eldest brother was very puzzling, always doing things that would rather cause family discord than help others.
Old Chen stared at Chen Weijun sarcastically for a moment, then continued, "Second Brother, you can't even manage your own family's affairs, so why are you meddling in mine? Just because I don't give you any benefits, you can't stand me doing well?"
Chen Weijun didn't expect that his momentary silence would make his elder brother feel good. Didn't his elder brother really think that everyone was saying he was stupid behind his back? Since no one said it out loud, he couldn't help it. He decided to be the first person to offend his elder brother.
He frowned and suddenly sat down, speaking viciously, "Brother, I really can't believe how stupid you are. You don't even know yourself. Even I know I'm not very capable, so I'm always asking for favors from you guys. But you actually feel so good about yourself?"
I'm asking for favors everywhere, but it's also for the sake of my two sons. At least I'm doing it for the good of my sons. But what about you? What are you doing? Why are you doing it? Even I think you're stupid, and you still think you're innocent?
Everyone's been urging you to be nicer to your sons, but not only have you ignored them, you've pushed them further and further away. We brothers may have our own little ulterior motives, but we won't harm you. No matter how good an outsider is, they can't be as good as your own sons. You've alienated your own sons, and your own sons won't even support you. How can you expect someone else's son to do the same?
You are now able to earn money to support the family, so these outsiders flatter you. When you are old and can no longer move, do you think they will have a conscience to support you, or will your sons have a better conscience?
Old Chen pointed at Chen Xiangdong and the others unconvincedly, "What are you saying? Look at how they treat me like an enemy. Can I still count on them?"
Chen Weijun: "...If you had done what a father should do, which child would treat you like this now? I remember that in the past, no matter how unfilial Xiangdong and Xiangnan were, they would still take everything they got from the factory home and give it to you, right?
Even when Xiangbei was still a kid, he would always tell you any news he got from the outside world. But now, do you think he still tells you? Not only does he not want to tell you the news, he doesn't even want to talk to you. This kid has been a chatterbox since he was young.
Not to mention Xiang Hong, this child has always been loyal to her family, but now you have hurt her heart. She has no place in the family even before she gets married. Brother, if you continue to hurt your own children for outsiders, you will suffer the consequences when you are old.
This time, Chen Weimin did not argue with Chen Weijun. He agreed with what was just said. Although he stood on the side of his eldest brother, the way his eldest brother treated the children made him want to help but he didn't know how to help. Although he did not object to his eldest brother's remarriage, he also felt that the way his eldest brother treated the children was wrong.
"Brother, although my second brother's words were a bit harsh, you have been really not treating the children well recently. Even if you want to redistribute the rooms, at least don't touch Xiang Hong's room. Can't Wang De and Wang Ming sleep in the same room, while Wang Xian and Xiang Bei make do with each other? It's better to wait until Xiang Hong gets married before moving into his room, rather than kicking him out now, right?
Don't blame my second brother for what you did, you have a problem yourself." Chen Weimin spoke a few fair words on Chen Xianghong's behalf this time.
Old Chen's face flushed. He hadn't expected this. At the time, he thought Xiang Hong had Xiao Yu looking after her and had even found her a job with housing. He figured the room at home wouldn't be used much, so he thought of reallocating it to make the best use of it.
He didn't think too much about it, nor did he really want to kick Xiang Hong out.
When his children protested collectively, Old Chen felt that their words were too harsh and made him lose face. He was even more unwilling to admit that he had a problem. Instead, he confronted them, which led to him saying a lot of confusing things and becoming estranged from his children.
