Chen Dongze stared straight at Zhang Hua, his eyes filled with undisguised disappointment, while at the same time he felt both distressed and apologetic.
The pain stems from feeling hurt by his mother, while the apology is directed at his wife.
She married him against her will.
Or rather, he was tricked by Song Jiaojiao, which led him to offend his then-single wife.
Now, his mother, however, adopts a condescending attitude, belittling his wife to nothing.
Isn't this a way for him to owe his wife something?
"I don't care!"
Zhang Hua's face was cold, and her eyes were filled with disdain as she looked at Zheng Qiuwen. She said, "If it weren't for her shamelessness in insisting on marrying you..."
And like a sow, she's given birth to litter after litter, dragging you down. Can you really stay in that remote mountain village for years, completely forgetting about your mother?!
"Mom, you've gone too far!"
Chen Dongze noticed Zheng Qiuwen was crying, and for a moment he wanted to slap himself hard.
As a man, he couldn't even protect his wife, letting her be belittled by his mother time and time again, swallowing all her grievances. He deserves to die!
With tears welling in his eyes, Chen Dongze disregarded everything else and said, "Back then, Qiu Wen and I registered our marriage because I was tricked and offended by someone."
If I hadn't taken responsibility, do you think you'd still be seeing me now?
Moreover, my grandparents knew about what happened that day, and it was they who arranged for my second uncle to organize the wedding.
How did it come to you that Qiuwen is clinging to me and that I've suffered a great injustice?
"Mom, since you dislike Qiuwen and my children so much, then our family will no longer be an eyesore in this house!"
Looking at Zheng Qiuwen, Chen Dongze's eyes were filled with heartache and regret. Then, he picked up his suitcase and travel bag at his feet and said to Zheng Qiuwen, "Let's go!"
Zheng Qiuwen nodded and said "Mmm". With red eyes, she bent down to pick up her suitcase and prepared to leave with Chen Dongze.
"If you dare to leave, I'll pretend I never had a son like you!"
Seeing Chen Dongze turn around, Zhang Hua's facial expression became almost ferocious.
Chen Dongze ignored them, greeted the old couple, nodded to Chen Dongsheng, and then told Zheng Qiuwen to leave.
"Dongsheng, take Dongze and the others to his room to rest!"
Old Master Chen finally spoke.
Chen Dongsheng's expression was slightly complicated. He remained silent for a moment, then called out to Chen Dongze, "Let's go, I'll help you carry your things upstairs."
Taking the suitcases and travel bags from Chen Dongze and Zheng Qiuwen, Chen Dongsheng noticed that Chen Dongze was standing still and spoke up again:
"What are you all standing there for? Let's go!"
With five young children and his wife heavily pregnant, Chen Dongze knew that it would be inconvenient to take his wife and children to stay in a hotel.
He pursed his lips, nodded, grasped Zheng Qiuwen's hand, and led her upstairs to the second floor behind Chen Dongsheng.
As the footsteps on the stairs disappeared, Grandpa Chen began to scold Zhang Hua: "Don't you have any manners as a mother?"
When Dongze got married, he must have mentioned this to you on the phone. Why do you have such a deep prejudice against your daughter-in-law?
If you call Qiuwen's child a pig, then what about your own son?
Qiuwen's ability to give birth is clearly a good thing, yet you have repeatedly insulted her. Does that mean she wanted to have so many children?
His eyes blazed with fury, and Old Master Chen's face darkened as he continued, "Back then, you and I didn't agree to you coming into this family."
It was the third son who persuaded us, and that's how she became our daughter-in-law.
Do you know why my wife and I, an elderly couple, refused to let you in?
Let me tell you the truth, old man, those dishonest, calculating eyes of yours are truly disgusting!
It's not hard to tell a person's character from their eyes, yet you have such a high opinion of yourself.
For years, he's displayed his ugly side in this house. If it weren't for the fact that you've taken relatively good care of the children, what would the third son's attitude be? I, this old man, would kick him out first!
"Dad! I was just disciplining my own son and daughter-in-law, why are you making such a terrible accusation against me?!"
Zhang Hua defended himself.
"You're already utterly despicable, do we, the old couple, really need to tell you that?!"
Old Mrs. Chen's eyes were full of disgust. She said to Zhang Hua, "Your father said you take good care of the children. But if you ask me, aren't all the good things you do for Xiao Xu and Xiao Shu just a way of praising them to death?"
Otherwise, before Xiao Xu's legs were broken, would he have been so useless, only knowing how to eat, drink, and wander around?
How could Xiaoshu do such shameless things and disgrace the entire Chen family?
Zhang Hua, I'm telling you, if I hear you going crazy in this house again, you and your son's family are moving out!
Zhang Hua was filled with anger, thinking about why Old Master Chen and his wife didn't just hurry up and die, and cursing the two old people in his heart for being such old hags.
"Mom, is it really necessary for you to wrong me like this?"
With a grim expression, Zhang Hua's tone was somewhat sharp: "I treated Xiao Xu and the others with all my heart, but you called it praising them to death. In this whole compound, who else has been wronged as much as I have?"
"Whether I'm wronging you or not, you know in your heart. Now get out of my way, just looking at you makes me angry!"
Old Mrs. Chen chased people away.
Enraged, Zhang Hua stormed out of the house.
In the living room, Mr. Chen advised Mrs. Chen, "Don't get upset and ruin your health, it's not worth it!"
"Get angry with her? Is it worth it?!"
Grandma Chen scoffed, "You're full of ulterior motives. I just regret not insisting on not letting her into our house back then!"
I have to mention here that earlier, Chen Dongze was tricked by Song Jiaojiao and forced to be with Zheng Qiuwen. Back then, Chen Dongze's retaliatory actions were...
