He demanded that his second sister divorce her husband, and he even wanted her to marry a mentally challenged man. Now that he has found out, his sister Song Jiaojiao, who has returned home after being reunited with her family, is dating his second sister's ex-boyfriend without any regard for their sisterly bond. Doesn't Song Jiaojiao feel disgusted at all?
Back in the room he shared with his elder brother, Song Chenyang lay back on the bed, feeling a surge of unease, and rubbed his forehead vigorously.
"Something on your mind?"
Song Chenguang pushed open the door and saw Song Chenyang with a bitter face and furrowed brows. He couldn't help but ask a question.
"Big brother..."
Suddenly sitting up, Song Chenyang looked at Song Chenguang and said, "Can you tell me why your attitudes toward Second Sister have all become so strange?"
Upon hearing this, Song Chenguang was stunned.
After a while, he sat down on the edge of his bed, staring intently at Song Chenyang, feigning ignorance, and asked, "What do you mean by what you said in such a strange way?" He actually knew that Song Chenyang's question was veiled, but could he answer truthfully?
No, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Because in this family, if you were to ask which two siblings had the best relationship, it would undoubtedly be the original younger sister Song Lan and the younger brother Chen Yang. At this moment... once he tells the truth, Song Chen Yang will definitely make a scene, and might even run up to his sister Song Lan and reveal the family's schemes directly.
If that's the case, Song Lan's relationship with her family will inevitably get even worse!
"Big brother, you don't need to pretend to be confused, and there's no need to beat around the bush. I actually have a guess in my heart, but... but I don't want to think about it that way. After all, my second sister is family with us, and I don't believe that Mom and Dad would treat her like that."
People who eat from the same pot understand each other. Although Song Chenyang is naive and inexperienced, he knows a little about how his parents conduct themselves.
His older brother and sister, as well as his third sister Song Jiaojiao, who was switched at birth and returned to their family about a year ago, all showed some resemblance to his parents in their speech, actions, and interactions with others.
To put it simply, they care a lot about profits!
"you……"
Song Chenguang's expression was complicated for a moment. He moved his lips and finally said, "No matter what you think, you must know that the reason why your parents asked your second sister to get a divorce is mostly because they feel sorry for her."
Think about it carefully. Given the Qin family's current situation, what good would it do your second sister to continue staying in that family?
"With my second brother-in-law around, the entire Qin family won't become a burden on my second sister's shoulders!"
Song Chenyang's eyes widened: "Besides, shouldn't husband and wife share joys and sorrows? If my second sister divorces her husband and abandons the Qin family because of the series of misfortunes that have befallen her family, wouldn't people say that my second sister is heartless and ungrateful?"
"You're still young, there are some things you don't understand."
Song Chenguang tried to brush it off, but Song Chenyang snorted and said, "I'm sixteen, about to become an adult, not a six-year-old. I already know a lot at my age. Don't try to fool me, or else... or else I'll tell my second sister what happened tonight and tell her to stay far away from our mother. Let's see how our mother tries to persuade her."
After listening to Song Chenyang's explanation, Song Chenguang glanced around the room where the two brothers were staying. It was about 12 or 13 square meters, with two single beds, a desk placed in the middle by the window, a wardrobe against the wall by the entrance, and a clothes rack and a washbasin stand behind the door... In short, although the small room didn't have many things, there wasn't much extra space at first glance.
In his opinion, it was even crowded.
So, if he has the chance to live in a big house sooner and have a room all to himself, and occasionally puts his own interests first, that's... that's nothing, and it's not like he's done anything heinous!
This was Song Chenguang's truest thought. He felt that his parents were using his younger sister Song Lan's marriage to scheme for the family's benefit, which, though he couldn't say it out loud, even seemed a little heartless. Therefore, he hesitated.
From initially ignoring the issue, to trying to dissuade his parents, he was forced to consider his own situation, especially given the attitude of Deputy Factory Director Qian's wife when she came to their house tonight. It was clear that if his younger sister, Song Lan, didn't marry into the Qian family, his parents would inevitably face difficulties at work.
But if things go smoothly, and his younger sister Song Lan marries Qian Yiming... his father's promotion to the director of the first workshop is basically a done deal.
In addition, their family could be exchanged for a larger courtyard with two more rooms.
And he was about to get married, so he and his wife couldn't possibly squeeze into the same room as his younger brother Chenyang, could they?
Song Chenguang thought it over and over, feeling deeply sorry for his younger sister Song Lan, but also unwilling to give up the opportunity for his family to exchange for a larger courtyard. His emotions were conflicted. Based on this, he gritted his teeth and finally made a decision regarding Song Lan's divorce: he would not get involved and would listen to his parents.
He knew his parents well and knew they wouldn't easily give up the opportunity to get close to Deputy Factory Director Qian's family. However, he didn't expect his younger sister, Jiaojiao, to suddenly get involved with Chen Dongze.
To be honest, Song Chenguang is very concerned about his image.
Just thinking about how the neighbors and even acquaintances in the staff housing area would say all sorts of things if they found out that Song Jiaojiao and Song Lan's ex-boyfriends were dating, and not a single kind word would come out of their mouths!
But he saw it clearly tonight: apart from him and his younger brother Chenyang having objections to Song Jiaojiao and Chen Dongze being friends, his parents and older sister were both happy and strongly supportive.
With a sigh, Song Chenguang gathered his thoughts, pursed his lips, and said to Song Chenyang with a serious expression, "Don't make things worse! Your second sister is an adult. If she doesn't want a divorce, even our parents can't do anything about it. If you say anything irrelevant to your second sister, it will only alienate her from the family and she might even harbor resentment. Are you sure you want that?"
He couldn't interfere with Song Jiaojiao and Chen Dongze's affairs, nor could he get involved in whether his sister Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng divorced. He just wanted to live his life peacefully and have a bigger room to live in when he got married.
With this in mind, Song Chenguang naturally didn't want his younger brother Chenyang to cause any trouble and shatter the little hope in his heart.
To put it bluntly, he was nothing more than selfish and self-serving. He didn't want to offend Song Lan, nor did he want to offend Qin Yanzheng, but he was also unwilling to give up the benefits that were almost immediately visible.
Well, that's like trying to have your cake and eat it too.
To describe it in two words—hypocritical!
Time flew by, and Song Jiaojiao went to the countryside as she wished. When she appeared at the gathering point for educated youth at the train station, she saw Chen Dongze and quickly approached him. However, Chen Dongze was only briefly surprised, and then showed no extra emotion, as if she were just an ordinary member of the many educated youth. He didn't even say a word.
Song Jiaojiao is depressed!
Song Jiaojiao felt wronged!
Song Jiaojiao was unwilling to accept it!
She tried to find ways to get close to Chen Dongze and try to get on his good side.
"Who are you? How can you be so tactless? Can't you see that my brother Dongze doesn't want to talk to you?"
