Chen Xiangbei was begging Yu Hongzhen to send him back, crying and shouting. It was late now, and there were so many mountains there. He was really scared if there were any jackals, wolves or wild leopards.
In fact, Yu Hongzhen was originally going to send him back, but when he shouted like that, the people living next door thought he was hitting Chen Xiangbei.
Old Chen went to the factory. Their workshop sometimes had to work overtime all night, so there was a special room at the back of the workshop with a few beds for those who worked overtime to take a nap, but there were only bed boards and no bedding.
In the past, when he worked overtime, Old Chen would ask his wife to bring him a set of quilts, but this time, the house was a mess, and he couldn't just take out a set of quilts in front of Yang Su, who had mental problems.
Old Chen sat stiffly on the bed, thinking about the mess at home, feeling annoyed and helpless.
The director of the machinery factory stayed in the office for a while longer today, but when he came out, it was completely dark.
He locked the door, put on his clothes and prepared to leave.
But when I passed by Old Chen's workshop, I found that there was a light inside.
He remembered that there had been no urgent orders recently, and their workshop should have closed early.
Driven by curiosity, the factory director walked in and made eye contact with Old Chen who was in deep thought.
"Old Chen? Why are you sitting here so late at night?" the factory director asked in surprise. "Isn't your daughter getting married tomorrow? Are you sleeping here tonight?"
When asked, Old Chen began to feel sad. "My family is unlucky, and my wife is not virtuous."
That night, the factory director was stopped by Old Chen and listened to him complain until midnight. When he came out, his eyes were empty.
He never thought that so many things could happen in the family of such an honest man like Old Chen.
From being divorced by his wife of more than 20 years, to his children not understanding him, to his new wife destroying the house, every incident is heartbreaking and brings tears to the ears.
How could such an unlucky man exist? The factory director was completely baffled. Chen Weiguo was a capable, kind, and friendly man who would always help anyone who came to him for help. So why was his family so messed up?
Although the factory director had also heard of the reputation of the women's director, Old Lady Xia, he believed that Old Lady Xia's reputation only meant that she had made some achievements in this area, and did not mean that she could take good care of the family. When he heard that Chen Weiguo had found a new partner, he was happy for him and felt that he was finally getting his reward after all the hard work.
But it hasn't been long since then, why is it not working again?
The factory director left the factory and walked towards home. The cool night breeze suddenly made his mind clearer.
Is it possible that Chen Weiguo is not able to handle the relationships in his family well?
The next day, Chen Xianghong was called by Old Lady Xia and went into the house to wash and dress up.
Old Lady Xia started directing people outside.
"Boss, go watch outside. If they come, shout."
"Second brother, when they come, you can block the door and let them sing a song, just to show your appreciation."
"Third brother, Xiaoyu will be here soon, please stop messing around."
"Sister, Chen Mei, is the longan and brown sugar you cooked ready? Don't make it too hot, or Xiao Yu and the others will get burned. Let it cool down."
"Xiao Jiang, please tell me where the meat buns I bought from the state-owned restaurant are. Let's just share them. Let's fill our stomachs first. I'll give two to Xiang Hong."
"Qiao Yi, Xiao Fang, the two of you go into the house and keep Xiang Hong company."
“…”
Old Mrs. Xia's voice never stopped early in the morning.
Chen Xiangbei saw how restless Old Lady Xia looked. Actually, there wasn't much work to do. She had already finished all the complicated things. Today, there were only some small things to do. But his mother seemed even more nervous than his sister. "Mom, the most important thing for you now is to sit down and calm yourself."
Old Mrs. Xia gulped down a glass of water, pushed Chen Xiangbei aside, and walked into the room where Chen Xianghong was.
"Mom, you've been busy all morning, sit down and keep me company." Chen Xianghong was holding the earrings given by Tang Jiao and was putting them on her ears.
There were quite a few people in the room, including Tang Jiao, Qiao Yi, Yu Yan and several other young girls.
Old Lady Xia looked at Xiang Hong with a smile on her face. She grabbed Chen Xiang Hong's hand and held it in her palm. "Xiang Hong, you must be well and live a long life."
Chen Xianghong smiled and said, "Mom, you're confused. I'm getting married, shouldn't you wish me a happy marriage or something?"
Mrs. Xia: "A happy marriage is the icing on the cake, but what I hope most is that you are safe and healthy. All of us women must take good care of our own health, and you too. No matter what happens, take care of yourself first."
Living conditions for us women are inherently more difficult, especially after marriage. Before marriage, if you have a loving mother, she will bear some of your hardships and pressures for you. After marriage, you will have to face them all on your own.
Of course, your wife's family can be helpful, but when you live together, there are always many trivial grievances that you can't express. Even if they are your wife's family, you may feel hypocritical if you bring them up. These things are small, but when they happen too often, they can become a thorn in your throat. You're too embarrassed to express them and have to keep them bottled up, which is even more painful.
But I don't think it's necessary to argue with my lover over something like this. The most painful thing in a marriage isn't sharing the hardships, but being wronged and treated unfairly while others think it's nothing.
Chen Xianghong bit her lip and said, "Mom, you've also suffered a lot of things like this on Dad's side, right?"
Old Lady Xia paused and shook her head decisively: "That's not the case. At first, everyone might think your father was a good person, but there will always be a time when they come to their senses. Then those people will know how wronged I have been."
Chen Xianghong: "Uh..."
Old Lady Xia: "However, if I continue to hold back, no one will be able to recover. So, I still have to stand up for myself and tell everyone that certain things are wrong and unfair."
Fang Yingdi deeply agreed: "That's right. Some things become taken for granted by others if you endure them for a long time. But if you raise the issue the first time and convince the other party on the spot, then if they encounter similar things that make us feel wronged in the future, they will think twice before doing it."
Old Lady Xia gave a thumbs-up: "Comrade Xiaofang has been very enlightened recently."
Chen Xianghong smiled and said, "Comrade Xiaofang is really amazing. We should also study and read more and learn from him."
Fang Yingdi blushed. How could even the bride praise her? She was a little shy and made up an excuse to go out for some fresh air.
As soon as she walked out of the room, she bumped into Jiang Wenhua. Fang Yingdi lowered her head, apologized, and ran away in a panic. She and Jiang Wenhua were now in the most embarrassing moment.
Jiang Wenhua touched his nose and knocked on the door. "The groom is almost here."
