Seeing those people doubting their lives, Old Lady Xia felt that the anger in her heart had dissipated.
Whether in the previous life or this life, the eldest brother and his wife have never done anything to make her happy. They can't even say nice words, which is of no use.
It’s good that the family business has been divided. She won’t be angry with me anymore.
Anyway, she doesn't expect to rely on her children for support in her old age, as none of them can be relied upon.
If only the second and third children could be divided out, she would have peace of mind.
However, the second and third children have been performing quite well recently and are sometimes very useful, especially the second child, who has a very flexible mind. Let's keep him for now.
Otherwise, if she gave it all away at once, Old Chen would fight her to the death.
As for divorcing Old Chen, that was out of the question. If she divorced, she would have nowhere to live. This house was the same level as the one allocated to Old Chen by the machinery factory. If she divorced, she would have to look for a house outside, which was difficult to find nowadays. It was hard to buy or rent, and the houses she lived in were not as good as this one. She didn't need to go out and suffer.
Moreover, Old Chen's salary is in her hands now, so he doesn't dare to order her around. Instead, she can still order him and his sons around to do work. No matter how she thinks about it, it's more comfortable to maintain the status quo.
"Second brother, hurry up and unload the things. We have to return the tricycle later." Old Mrs. Xia ignored the Zhu family and the eldest brother and started directing them to move things.
Chen Xiangdong suddenly grabbed Old Lady Xia's hand, "Mom, Mom! You...you can't do this to me. How will people see me in the future? I'm the only one separated from the three brothers. How will I live my life in the future? Mom, you're my biological mother. Please think about me too."
Old Lady Xia: “Let go!”
Chen Xiangdong refused to give in.
Old Lady Xia slapped him in the face, "I told you to let go!"
Chen Xiangdong glared, "You hit me again?"
Old Lady Xia: "Old Chen, don't you come and help me? How can an old lady like me escape if he grabs me?"
Old Chen: "Didn't you beat him?"
Old Lady Xia: "What if he fights back?"
Old Chen: "That's impossible. After all, you are my biological mother. Who would dare to fight back?"
Old Lady Xia: "The boss's wife would dare to do that."
Old Chen: "It's been so long, and you're still holding a grudge?"
Old Lady Xia glanced at Chen Xiangdong standing beside her, as if to tell him, "I'll remember this for the rest of my life."
She herself wasn't sure whether she was talking about the time when Zhu Wenying beat her, or the time when she was frozen to death in her previous life. Anyway, she was holding a grudge.
Chen Xiangdong's face suddenly turned pale. He didn't expect that even after paying the money, his mother still remembered Zhu Wenying's grudge. He turned around to look at Zhu Wenying and found that her face was also very bad.
Zhu Wenying originally discussed with her husband just to scare her mother-in-law, but she didn't expect that it would go too far and her mother-in-law simply didn't want them anymore, which scared Zhu Wenying.
The talk of a live-in son-in-law was just a scare tactic. Not to mention that a man who could make money like Chen Xiangdong would never be her live-in son-in-law, even her parents would not agree.
Despite her mother's firm words, she had lived in the Zhu family for so many years, so she must know the temperament of her family. Her parents already had a son, so there was no way they would want Chen Xiangdong to come to their house.
They had only stayed here for one night, and her brother was already unhappy. He had just been clamoring for them to go back. Not only that, he also wanted them to leave some money, saying that the Zhu family's money had to be kept for their sons, and that their daughter and son-in-law had to give gifts even for a meal.
After get off work today, Chen Xiangdong hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, otherwise their faces would have been even uglier.
Baoyuan cried several times because he didn't see his familiar grandmother and had no egg custard to eat. In the end, Jiang Fangru lost her patience and threw it to him.
Her mother just said nice things but actually couldn't help at all.
Zhu Wenying didn't want to live here either. She was really scared now.
She went back to the house, carried Baoyuan out, and came to Old Lady Xia. "Mom, it was our fault. We won't do it again. Let's put the things in the car and go back together. I will never encourage Xiangdong again. This time it's all my fault. I shouldn't have thought about it wrongly."
"We'll pay later and do more work."
Zhu Wenying patted Chen Xiangdong and asked him to speak together.
Chen Xiangdong nodded immediately. "Yes, Mom, I don't want to be a live-in son-in-law. I am your son, and Baoyuan is your grandson. He only recognizes you."
Chen Xiangnan stopped. He thought his mother would agree. After all, apart from the last beating, this was the only time that the stubborn boss could bend to his will.
The eldest brother was obviously panicking, and his sister-in-law's tone was pleading. Chen Xiangnan believed that his mother would definitely let them go back. Although she was tough now, she was also the softest-hearted.
Old Mrs. Xia turned around and didn't even look at them. When she saw the unloading stopped, she walked over and scolded them, saying that they couldn't even do the smallest thing.
Then she swept all the remaining things on the tricycle to the ground, sat at the back, and told those who were riding bicycles to ride bicycles and those who were sitting at the back to sit at the back.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to come up? Do you want to stay and accompany the boss?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Old Chen came up first. He also felt sorry for the boss, but he felt even more sorry for himself. He was very tired today. There was a big job at the factory, and he was tired after a whole day of moving goods. He couldn't take it anymore at his old age.
His wife was right. He didn't have only one son. Why should he be obsessed with an elder who was not on the same page with them?
When he first came here, he was upset by what his eldest brother and his mother-in-law said. Since he wanted to be a live-in son-in-law, then let him do it. What is he afraid of?
When Chen Xiangdong saw them about to leave, he immediately stopped the tricycle.
"Mom!" His cry was so sad that it gave people goosebumps.
Old Mrs. Xia kicked the third son down and asked him to push Chen Xiangdong away.
The third brother went down feeling aggrieved. After all, he was the only young one sitting in the back, and he couldn't let his father go since his second brother was riding in the front.
He had just pushed the boss away, and the tricycle was riding very fast, so he couldn't keep up and could only run behind.
"Wait for me, wait for me." Chen Xiangbei felt miserable because he hadn't gotten on the bus yet.
Chen Xiangdong also ran behind, "Mom, don't leave me, Mom, I don't want to split up the family."
Old Lady Xia: "Second brother, ride faster, don't let the eldest brother get on with you."
Chen Xiangnan's legs were so tired from riding that sparks were coming out of them. He was also afraid that if he didn't ride fast enough, his mother would send him away.
Although the boss is pitiful, he also has to take care of himself.
I'm sorry, brother. It's your fault for forcing me to do that. There's nothing I can do as your younger brother.
It was not until Chen Xiangdong could no longer catch up and stopped that they found an inconspicuous place to stop and wait for the third brother to come over.
Tonight, everyone's heart is uneasy.
Oh, except Old Lady Xia!
