While Old Lady Xia and the others were whispering in the house, Chen Xiangnan had already grabbed his brother's hand and walked out.
"Second Aunt." Chen Xiangnan helped the person up. "Even if we don't let you take the things, you can't accuse my mother like this."
He looked a little angry, but with just this one sentence, he put the blame on Fang Rong.
Fang Rong: "What are you talking about, you little brat? It was your mother who beat me up like this."
Chen Xiangnan held the confused Chen Xiangbei and bowed to her, saying loudly, "Second Aunt, it's all our fault. Xiangbei was young and couldn't stand you scolding mom like that, so he pushed you. We apologize to you!"
He stood up and continued, "He originally only wanted to push you. After all, you pushed my mother too. He didn't expect you to bend down to pick up the gifts given by others, and he accidentally scratched your face, causing you to be injured. Although it was only a red mark that disappeared quickly, it is a fact that he did not respect you. Xiangbei, hurry up and apologize to Second Aunt again."
Chen Xiangnan pressed Chen Xiangbei, who looked puzzled, down and apologized.
Chen Xiangbei: "Sorry... sorry?"
He really didn't know what his second brother was talking about. He didn't do anything at all. He was just watching the fun. But he was stared at by his second brother. He didn't dare to refute him, for fear of ruining his second brother's plan.
He is still dreaming in his heart that he will be a filial son in the future and his elder brother will be an ungrateful wolf, hehe!
Fang Rong was stunned: How could this child fall into black and white? He just tells lies without hesitation.
"You are talking nonsense. You are talking nonsense. You are just like your mother. You both pretend to be decent people, but you are actually evil inside. You are full of schemes. You are shameless. You gave birth to a son without any guilt..." Fang Rong spoke with the essence of Chinese culture and cursed in a very dirty way.
Chen Xiangnan's heart skipped a beat. Yes, he was going to have a son soon, and this damned old hag actually dared to curse his son. He had originally only wanted to make a good impression in front of his mother before he was willing to get involved in this mess, but now, he was really angry.
That's his son!
Chen Xiangnan clenched his fists. "Second Aunt, we are relatives, there is no need for you to say that, right? Just now you tried to rob our family, scolded my mother, beat her, and cursed our whole family to death. I didn't tell you anything. I wanted to save your face. After all, my brother pushed you, and he was wrong. But now..."
"You are our dear second aunt. My father gave you a lot of things during the holidays, and my mother also helped you a lot. I used to think you were a good elder who loved us, but now... I finally understand why no one dared to propose marriage to my eldest cousin..."
Fang Rong's curses stopped immediately. This bastard was actually threatening her eldest son's marriage. If she continued to curse, her reputation as an unkind elder might spread tomorrow.
She knew that news spread quickly among their matchmakers, especially those on this side of the family, of which there were several. If anyone among the onlookers in the compound told others about her today's events, her own matchmakers would soon know about it.
Matchmakers these days are honest. Aside from a few who are out to make money, they rarely harm others. Therefore, before an introduction, they will clearly and honestly describe the other party's situation, both the good and the bad. If the parents of either party are hiding something major, it will be difficult for them to have another matchmaker come to their house in the future.
Damn black-hearted boy, does he want her to not be able to hold her first grandson?
Fang Rong panicked. "Don't talk nonsense. I...I was just furious. I'm not like this normally."
Everyone sighed a few times. They really thought they were fools. This woman had often been heard yelling at Old Lady Xia to do this and that when she came to visit relatives at their compound, at Old Chen's house. They knew this, but today they had finally opened their eyes. She could curse at relatives so badly. If anyone became her daughter-in-law in the future, wouldn't life be even more difficult?
Fang Rong defended herself for a while, but the second son of the Chen family kept making trouble for him, pretending to be aggrieved and making very reasonable statements, which made everyone unconsciously stand on his side and denounce her.
Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, she stood up, pushed through the crowd and fled.
She felt that everyone in Old Lady Xia's compound had problems and couldn't tell right from wrong. They were all a bunch of fence-sitters and useless bastards!
Fang Rong is a well-educated person. She will not argue with them and will let Old Lady Xia go today.
She tried to convince herself all the way, but when she was almost home she remembered that she had gone to persuade Old Lady Xia to take Old Chen back home. But not only did she fail to convince her, she almost lost her own family.
She walked into the house dejectedly, and seeing Chen Weijun's questioning look, she could only smile bitterly and shake her head.
Before she could try to discuss things with him again, Old Chen came out like a dog, smelling the scent, as if he knew she was back.
Old Chen: I do know it, because I am not deaf.
"Sister-in-law, you're back. Let's continue eating meat tonight. The little we had at noon wasn't enough to fill my stomach." Old Chen didn't even look at their gloomy faces. It was obvious that he wanted to eat good food.
Fang Rong gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, we really don't have money to buy meat. We didn't eat much of the meat at noon. Didn't you eat most of it? Isn't that enough?"
Old Chen: "Brother, your wife...eh...doesn't she welcome me? I just want to eat some meat, can't I? Do you not welcome me either?"
Fang Rong didn't wait for Chen Weijun to speak before she spoke directly, "Brother, what do you mean by not welcoming you? If we didn't welcome you, we wouldn't have gone out of our way to buy you meat. Isn't it disappointing to say that?"
Old Chen: "Heartbroken? Big brother, are you heartbroken too? Is your heart colder than when we were kids in the middle of winter, when the three of us only had two sets of clothes to wear? Back then, I was naked and hiding in bed, and you were running after me with two big snotty noses hanging from your noses. We went to the river to fish, but not only did you not catch any fish, you also fell in. I rescued you in the middle of winter, but we got a beating from our mom, and in the end, you didn't even get a sip of fish soup. I was the one who caught the fish, and you ate the whole thing. Is your heart as cold as mine back then?"
Chen Weijun immediately thought of their childhood, when his eldest brother took care of them the most: "Brother, please stop talking, I..."
Fang Rong didn't want to listen to them talk about the same old things. It was the same old things that had been said hundreds of times. What was there to hear? She was afraid that her man would be moved and take out the meat, so she interrupted, "Brother, we really can't afford meat anymore."
Old Chen turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, you bought a piece of meat, but you only cut a small amount of it for lunch. Are you guarding against me?"
Do you really think he doesn't know?
His eyes are the ruler!
