Chen Xiangnan stared at the flickering lights in the distance, feeling very uneasy.
What happened to Zhao Hui was beyond his expectations, and what happened at home was also beyond his expectations, which made him feel very insecure.
I used to think these people were easy to understand, and I could tell what they were thinking at a glance. His mother wanted harmony at home, his father wanted to be the head of the family, his older brother and his wife wanted more benefits from their parents, his wife wanted to help her family, his younger brother just wanted to go out and play, and his younger sister was even less of a concern; she had the same personality as their mother.
Later, my mother changed, and my father was forced to change as well. His wife died, and now even my eldest brother and his wife have been separated from the family business.
His judgment was wrong again.
Before, he thought that no matter what, his mother loved them no matter what she became, and she was bound by the identity of a mother, so no matter how excessive she was, he would not be afraid of her, and she was someone he could pursue without a trace.
But tonight, she separated her eldest brother's family and no longer tolerated anything they did.
The child was not good, so she gave up on him.
Another judgment was that he thought his father's words were always more useful than his mother's, and his father was the one in charge of their family, so he only needed to give his father enough respect and fear his father, then he could live well in this family.
Things had changed now, too. His parents' status had shifted dramatically. He could even sense it, but he didn't know why. It seemed like his mother had, in just over two weeks, controlled his father, and when he tried to turn the tables and regain control, she had suppressed him.
The person in charge has changed, the atmosphere at home has changed, and he will have to be more careful in the future.
Chen Xiangnan secretly stared at Old Lady Xia for a while. If his mother was to be the head of the family in the future, his attitude must change from now on, and he would not just help his mother for the benefit of the whole family.
His attitude towards Old Lady Xia finally underwent a substantial change tonight. He had to think about his mother wholeheartedly so that he could gain greater benefits from her.
As for his father, since his status has changed, let him do whatever he wants.
Chen Xiangnan thought silently for a while, and after Chen Xiangbei jumped back into the car, he took everyone home.
Chen Xianghong boiled water for them so that they could take a comfortable bath.
Chen Xiangbei clamored to be the first to wash. He felt so sticky and uncomfortable. Just as he was about to go into the kitchen to get some water, he was pushed away by Chen Xiangnan.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Chen Xiangnan almost lost his balance and shouted angrily.
"Don't make a noise. You can go to school later or not go at all. Let your parents take a shower first. They have to go to work tomorrow." After saying this, Chen Xiangnan started to boil water.
"Mom, I'll get you some hot water. Go wash up first. It's been really hard moving my brother and the others' things today."
Old Mrs. Xia was confused. Who had cast a spell on the second son? He was so considerate to her. It was a bit scary.
"Ah...ok, ok, put it over there, I'll do it myself."
Chen Xiangnan: "Mom, I'm strong. You've been tired all day. I'm fine."
He was not as diligent as she used to be, which made Old Lady Xia wonder if the second son had been reincarnated like him, or if his body had been taken over by some wandering ghost.
"Boss, you...do you remember when you wet your pants as a kid and framed your eldest brother?"
Chen Xiangnan laughed out loud, "Mom, what are you talking about? When did I ever frame the eldest brother? That was when the third brother was a child, not me."
Old Mrs. Xia: That’s great, it is indeed his second son, she was just trying to trick him.
Old Chen looked at the second child with satisfaction, seeing that he had finally grown up. It seemed that their behavior towards the eldest child had made the other children start to reflect. Look, how filial they are now.
He can also enjoy his son's service!
He approached Old Lady Xia and asked, "You're really good at using the tactic of killing a chicken to scare the monkey. Who did you learn this from?"
Old Lady Xia: "Get lost."
Old Chen could only go and prepare clean clothes to change into in a dejected manner. His old woman was just too fierce.
Old Mrs. Xia was pushed to take a shower first. When she came out, she found that the second son was still diligently cleaning the eldest son's room.
"Do you want the room of the eldest brother?" asked Old Mrs. Xia. She felt that the second brother could not have suddenly become so attentive to her for no reason. He must have some ulterior motive.
Seeing how diligently he cleaned up, Old Lady Xia confirmed her previous guess: the second son never did anything without a profit.
Chen Xiangnan shook his head: "No, the room is empty now. Mom, you'll be useful eventually. It doesn't matter whether I clean it up early or late. I'm free now, so I might as well clean it up right away."
Chen Xiangbei listened with his mouth wide open. He had the same idea as Old Lady Xia. Either his brother had become a different person, or there was something wrong with his brain.
Whose good man is so tired after a day's work, and still works so hard when he comes home late at night without resting? It's so scary. Anyway, he has never seen such a thing before.
Maybe other families have this, but they don’t, unless it’s his mother who stays up late at night to clean the house. Others are just hands-off.
"Second brother, are you sick?" Chen Xiangbei was really confused.
Chen Xiangnan slapped his head hard with his dusty hand, "What are you talking about? You're the one who's sick, come and help too."
Chen Xiangbei immediately took a big step back. "I... I'm so tired. I can't do this. I don't have the strength. I won't do it."
He wanted to run, but Chen Xiangnan grabbed him by the collar. "You are a man, but you are both weak and powerless. Where did your strength go? Why don't you go to the hospital for treatment? Maybe you really can't make it."
Chen Xiangbei was stimulated by these words and started to clean up like a small motor. He could do it. He was different from his second brother. He was the real man of their family and he wanted to prove it.
Old Mrs. Xia scratched her head, not understanding, but let them be. Cleaning the house was better than making her angry every day.
Seeing that Old Lady Xia had finished washing, Old Chen came over and said, "Second brother, your mother is done washing, I want to wash now."
Old Chen hopes that his second daughter will quickly pour him some hot water. He is almost exhausted, having to work and move house. This old woman never lets him rest for a moment. She is even more cruel than Zhou Paopi. He is the poor Yang Bailao.
When Chen Xiangnan heard his father talking, he said without even looking up, "Oh, then Dad, you should wash it quickly. The third brother and I will have to wash it after we finish cleaning up."
Old Chen was incredulous, "Then where's my hot water?"
Chen Xiangnan said impatiently: "Dad, don't you see we are busy? The hot water is in the kitchen. You know it, what else do you want to do?"
Old Chen pointed at Old Lady Xia and said, "You've already poured hot water for your mother, but what about me?"
Chen Xiangnan: "Dad, can you please be kind to us? We are very tired too. It's not like you can't lift it."
His dad is so annoying. He is so rude late at night.
Old Chen poured himself some hot water and took an angry bath.
It’s so unfair!
