During the half month that Chen Xiangnan was away, Widow Huang got money from somewhere, paid off all their debts, and then disappeared with her two children.
After getting the money, Old Mrs. Xia scolded Old Chen for three days before she calmed down.
One day, as Old Chen was about to get off work and walk out of the office gate, he saw his eldest son waiting beside him with a haggard look on his face.
Old Chen thought, oh no, could it be that they came here on purpose to block him? He doesn’t want to talk to him.
He turned around and went back to his unit, looking left and right, and finally locked onto his young apprentice.
"Come here." Old Chen called his young apprentice.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Old Chen: "You will come with me after get off work later. I will be behind you. Please help me block it."
The young disciple was puzzled: "Why? Master, is there someone looking for you outside that you don't want Master's wife to know about? A woman?"
Old Chen patted his head and said, "What are you thinking about? Am I that kind of person, your master?"
Young disciple: "Then why do you feel so guilty? You look weird."
Old Chen said: "There are some minor conflicts at home. I don't want my eldest brother to come to me for the time being. Is that okay?"
The young apprentice was pushed out, and Old Chen hid behind him and sneaked out of the door.
As soon as he took a step forward, Chen Xiangdong, who had good eyesight, noticed it immediately and said, "Dad!"
Old Chen pushed his young apprentice away and ran away. He didn't want to listen to the boss's pitiful words. When he was injured, he didn't see him, but when he recovered, he came to him without stopping.
His old wife was right, his sons were here to collect debts.
"Dad, why are you running? Don't run, there are people waiting for you at home." Chen Xiangdong shouted.
Old Chen then stopped. This boss really put all his thoughts on his own family. He blocked this side and arranged people at home to wait. They attacked from both sides and no one could escape. Maybe his wife was also waiting for them at the factory.
He guessed correctly. As soon as Old Mrs. Xia went out, Jiang Fangru called her and took her arm, fearing that she would run away.
Old Mrs. Xia cursed in her heart. She would not run away. She would never let the eldest brother's family come back anyway. That family was full of vampires.
The old couple were followed back separately, and when they arrived home, their eldest daughter-in-law was waiting outside the door.
"Dad, Mom, it's time for you to get off work."
Chen Xiangbei was hiding in the house. When someone knocked on the door, he didn't know what to do and didn't dare to open the door casually, for fear that if he welcomed them in, his mother would be angry when she came back, so he could only pretend that no one was at home.
Now hearing the sound, he hurried out to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he was glared at by Zhu Wenying.
Zhu Wenying: Damn it, someone in there actually refused to open the door for her while she was pregnant. I’m so tactless. I’ll have to give him a good talk when she comes back.
Chen Xiangbei glared back. Her whole family was kicked out by her mother, yet she still dared to be mean to him. Who did she think she was?
"I wonder if my mother-in-law is here for something?" Old Mrs. Xia poured water for someone and sat down.
Jiang Fangru seemed to be having trouble speaking, but finally had to say, "Xiangdong's mother, as parents, we always hope that our children will get better and better. Xiangdong's family doesn't behave well in our home. After thinking about it, we think it's better for them to move back to their own home."
Old Lady Xia nodded and said, "Yes, your family is their own family. You said before that you are willing to accept them as sons-in-law. From now on, he will be theirs."
Jiang Fangru was embarrassed for a moment, secretly cursing Old Lady Xia for being unreasonable. She really didn't believe that she would give the son she had raised with so much effort to someone else. "Sister Xia, I know you are angry, but Xiangdong must be upset too if you keep saying such hurtful things. I was wrong before, and I apologize."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and bowed, "Don't be angry with me, and don't be angry with the two children."
Old Mrs. Xia: "I'm really not angry. I guess Old Chen isn't angry either, right, Old Chen?"
Old Chen nodded. "Mom Wenying, we're really not angry. What we said at your house that day wasn't impulsive. Since this child wants to be your son-in-law, we have no choice but to agree. Our family voted unanimously in favor of it, and no one objected. Right, Third Brother?"
Chen Xiangbei was confused. "Yes, no one objects."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhu Wenying proudly. She dared to glare at him even though she had offended him. Sometimes he could decide whether they stayed or went.
Look, the opportunity for revenge has come immediately.
Zhu Wenying's face turned pale. "Dad, Mom, Xiangdong said that out of anger. I was the one who instigated it. If you want to blame someone, blame me, not him. He was born and raised by you. Don't you know who he is? He has you in his heart."
Jiang Fangru also chimed in, "Yes, Xiangdong is a filial child. He's been staying at our house these past few days and he's lost weight because he doesn't want to eat or drink."
Chen Xiangdong said pitifully, "Dad, Mom, I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have said such words to hurt your feelings. You can scold me or hit me, but I won't dare to say that again. Just let me come back."
The three of them were talking about good things. Old Zhu came over exhausted and said, "I'm sorry, my dear relatives, I worked overtime and only just arrived."
Old Mrs. Xia looked indifferent. It didn't matter whether he came or not, the result would not change anyway.
The three people saying nice things turned into four people saying nice things. Chen Xiangbei felt a little sleepy and yawned.
Old Lady Xia said, "My dear relatives, if you have nothing else to do, please go back. I won't keep you for dinner. I've explained Xiangdong's matter clearly before, and you heard it clearly. You can't just treat what I said as bullshit."
"I never take back what I say. From now on, except for holidays and important events, the eldest brother and his wife should seldom come over. It makes me upset." Old Mrs. Xia frowned and made her words clearer. "Of course, if you don't even want to come during holidays, that's up to you. My eldest brother will belong to your Zhu family from now on. Do whatever you want."
Chen Xiangdong couldn't sit still any longer. He had never heard Old Lady Xia say such cruel words to him since he was a child. He collapsed in panic, "Mom, do you really have to treat me like this?"
Mrs. Xia: "Yes, that's what I want to do to you. I feel upset when I see your family now."
Old Zhu also frowned. "Xiangdong's mother, what you said is too heartless and ungrateful. The child just made a small mistake, so you don't want this son anymore? Don't you want to be with him anymore in the future?"
Old Lady Xia: "This child is destined to be with your family. I don't need to keep him any longer."
Jiang Fangru hastily retorted, "Xiangdong's mother, I've already said that I said and did the wrong thing, and I've apologized to you. You can only hold a grudge against me, not the two children."
