In the evening, Old Chen whispered in Old Lady Xia's ear. He felt that as the main earner of the family, he should not do housework anymore. At the same time, he also felt that Old Lady Xia should not do it either, and that the children should do it, especially those who had nothing to do.
For example, the third child, and the second child who is a street urchin who lost his job, Xiang Hong can do housework when she doesn't go to work these days, and she can also not do it or do less when she goes back to work.
Old Mrs. Xia agreed and announced the news early the next morning.
Chen Xiangnan was not happy. He went out every day because he had important things to do. It was not right to be locked up at home doing laundry and cooking every day.
But his objection on this ground was invalid.
He added, "Mom, don't my eldest brother and his wife only pay five dollars each? They keep the rest of the money for themselves. Why don't they have to do housework? I pay too, and Xiang Hong will pay too in the future. Why should we do housework? It's the same five dollars, and we're both your children. I don't accept it!"
When Old Mrs. Xia heard this, she thought it made sense. Why should all the children pay the same amount of money? Those with jobs don't do housework, while the unemployed Kuku does it. And they don't share their wages with the other children. So Old Mrs. Xia stared at the room of the eldest couple and made a decision.
"Mom thinks what you said makes sense, but they have to go to work and won't have much time to do housework. What should we do? Mom just thought of a good idea."
Chen Xiangnan asked: "What method?"
Old Lady Xia smiled, "Isn't the eldest son planning to be a live-in son-in-law? Let's make this a reality. Later, you guys can collect their things and send them to their father-in-law's house. You won't have to come back for anything in the future, and you don't have to pay any money. Just treat it as me marrying off a son. Isn't that enough?"
Others in the living room: ...Ah?
Chen Xiangnan felt a little guilty. It was not a good idea to just divide up his elder brother's family so casually.
Old Chen refused in a hoarse voice: "No, no, how can you kick them out? You have something against them. How will they live in the future? How will we live in the future?"
Old Lady Xia: "How can I bully them? They are the ones bullying me, a helpless old woman. Look, they boss me around at home, and if I refuse, they blame me. They always go back to their father-in-law's house. Do you think it will sound good if you say this to others? It's as if we can't tolerate them."
"In fact, it's their family who don't even consider us as family. If I help them now, they'll probably be so happy."
Old Chen was still unhappy, "Doesn't that mean my eldest grandson won't be close to us anymore?"
Old Lady Xia: "We have so many sons, it's not like they are all infertile. Will we still need a grandson in the future?"
"You...can have children?"
Chen Xiangnan stammered, "Should... be okay, right?"
Old Mrs. Xia glanced at him in frustration and said, "If you're really sick, get treated soon!"
Chen Xiangbei immediately shouted: "I'm sure I can have many children."
Old Lady Xia said disdainfully, "You can only have two children at most. Otherwise, you won't be able to support them and you won't achieve anything."
The two brothers thought his mother was too hurtful.
Old Lady Xia continued, "We are still young, and so are our sons. We might have more than one child in the future, and too many might cause us a headache from all the fuss. Even if they ask Baoyuan to change his last name, let them do it. I can't count on them as they are, let alone a grandson."
Old Chen was grumbling and was just unhappy, but after being scolded by Old Lady Xia, he finally came to his senses.
"Oh." He replied.
Old Mrs. Xia began to give instructions, asking them to pack up all their things and move them over when they got back from work in the evening.
After everyone at home who was supposed to go to work went to work, there were actually only two people who went to work, and the remaining three children looked at each other.
"Brother, should we go and inform our eldest brother?" Chen Xiangbei has been very confused recently. In the past, the family quarreled but lived in harmony, but now they are quarreling and want to split up.
This time it’s the eldest brother, will it be them in the future? Chen Xiangbei felt a little uneasy.
Chen Xiangnan didn't know either. He couldn't figure out what his mother was thinking. Did she really want to split up the family or was she hurt by the behavior of the eldest brother's family? Or maybe he thought his mother might be forcing the eldest brother and his wife.
"How about you go and give the boss a message?"
Chen Xiangbei listened to his second brother very much and turned around and ran away.
When they arrived at Chen Xiangdong's factory, he asked the security department at the door to help call for help.
The person came out quickly.
"Brother." Chen Xiangbei shouted.
Chen Xiangdong frowned, "Why are you here? Did mom ask you to come?"
Could it be that Mom finally figured it out and realized that he and Wenying were not people she could control, so this time she asked the third child to come and lobby for them to go back?
Unfortunately, his mother had miscalculated. Wenying said that her mother had to invite them back in person. Moreover, not only would they not pay any money, they also wanted her to help them take care of Baoyuan. They wanted to return to their original life and let her help them with housework.
If they don't agree to the above conditions, no matter who tries to persuade them, they will never go back.
"Go back and tell mom that we won't go back unless she comes. You should go back early too. Don't skip classes every day and don't disturb me at work." After saying that, he left without looking back.
Chen Xiangbei stood there in a daze. He hadn't said a word yet. He was shaking his head almost to the point of falling off, but he didn't say a word.
Is his elder brother so narcissistic?
I wanted my mother to come in person, and that’s right, so I went there in person in the evening, but not to invite them, but to separate them.
Chen Xiangbei was also a little angry. Sometimes his elder brother couldn't understand what people said or read the expressions even more than he did.
He became confident. If his elder brother could get into the factory, then it would be easy for him.
He was too lazy to care and ran back home, planning to take his schoolbag and go to school for a while.
Nowadays, it doesn't matter if I go to school or not, because everything is messy anyway. But I have to work at home, and I might even get scolded by my older brother, so I might as well go to school and play with my friends.
Chen Xiangnan actually didn't stay at home. He left immediately after Chen Xiangbei left.
Chen Xianghong was just about to say that Comrade Yu from yesterday might come again today, and she wanted her second brother to help her come up with some ideas on what to do, whether to go out to work or not.
My mother seemed to disagree, but there was no job available for her right now. She thought it would be nice to go with Comrade Yu, as there were dormitories there.
Besides, Comrade Yu is a soldier and the person the common people trust the most, so he would not harm her.
But my mother doesn't agree.
So worried!
