In the countryside, people are used to getting up early. As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Chen got up, their eldest son and his wife came over, and their uncle closed the door.
"Mom and Dad, Chen Weiguo wants to send us abroad. What do you think?" The uncle went straight to the point.
The old couple of the Chen family were stunned. "When did it happen? How come we didn't know?"
"Last night, the couple discussed it downstairs..." The uncle recounted the conversation between Chen Weiguo and Jiang Guifen yesterday, adding some embellishments, of course. The main point was that Jiang Guizhen was annoyed that the old couple stayed here too long, and that their family had to eat and drink here too little.
The eldest uncle was smart. He put the main blame on Jiang Guizhen, saying that his son was definitely guilty and that it was mainly instigated by his daughter-in-law. This way, the old couple could accept it more easily.
"She's rebelling. She can't be disdainful of us anywhere. She's a second-married woman with a child, and she dares to chase us away. We're going to live here in our old age. I wonder what she can do with us two old people! Two encumbrances can eat and drink together, but people from our Chen family can't?"
The old lady's triangular eyes glared with anger. They had tolerated her previous daughter-in-law because her family was powerful. But now this one, who got married for the second time, dared to bully them. It was really outrageous.
"I'll talk to Weiguo later and ask him to find a house for you to live separately. I'll also ask him to arrange the child's care as soon as possible," the old man said in a deep voice. They have only been here for a few days and he already wants to drive them away. This son is not as filial as his grandson. Yesterday he was thinking about changing the Chen family's status in his generation, but when he woke up, he realized it was just a dream. What should he do?
The uncle and the uncle looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that the old couple would just scold them and that was it. After all, they were still on their side in their hearts.
During breakfast, Old Man Chen said to Chen Weiguo, "Weiguo, your elder brother and his friends have been here for quite a while. We farmers can't sit idle, so find them some work, even temporary workers or something."
Old man Chen thought about it and felt that living separately could reduce conflicts, but he couldn't just sit there doing nothing without work. Work was more important. Once the work was solved, they would naturally find a way to get the eldest brother and his family to move out.
Chen Weiguo was still thinking about how to tell them to go back to their hometown, but he didn't expect the old man to bring up his job again.
Jiang Guizhen also glanced at Chen Weiguo.
"Dad, it's hard to find a job in the city now. There are too many educated youth returning to the city, and there are no jobs for young people." Chen Weiguo said perfunctorily.
Old man Chen's expression remained unchanged. "You live in this compound, and there are many people looking for nannies. Big brother's wife, if you don't have any, go out and ask around. See who is talking to you, and then go and work for them first. With Weiguo as your guarantor, they will definitely be willing to hire you. Big brother, take the children to the freight station to find some odd jobs. It's hard to carry heavy bags, but you can at least make ends meet."
Old man Chen has been here for so many days and he doesn't just take care of everything. He also knows a lot from chatting with those retired old men.
My uncle and his wife nodded and said, "Hey, Dad, we'll go find him after dinner." In fact, they were really not afraid of hard work. No matter how hard it was, it was not as hard as farming at home under the wind and sun. Farming also depends on God for a living. In bad years, the whole family is busy all year round.
"Weiguo, your eldest brother and his family will move out once they settle down. Please be patient. Your mother and I have lived with your eldest brother and his family for all these years. We are all their sons, and it's your turn now." Old man Chen put down his chopsticks and looked at Chen Weiguo.
He knew that his son was unwilling to raise them and hoped that they would cause him less trouble in their hometown. They were still alive now, but he didn't help the eldest brother's family. When they died, the two brothers would be too different and might not be able to walk. The eldest brother and his wife were soft-hearted and could be manipulated. He still wanted to follow the eldest brother. This time, he would make arrangements for the eldest brother's family no matter what. They were also tough with the eldest brother.
Chen Weiguo: "Dad, it's my duty. My elder brother and his wife have worked hard these years. Don't look for a big job as a nanny yet. I'll see if I can find something easier for you."
He is such a big leader, but his sister-in-law works as a nanny in someone else's home and his elder brother has to carry heavy bags. Isn't it ridiculous? If he didn't live here and no one could see him, it would be fine. But he has to wait until they settle down before moving out. How can he be considered stable?
The old couple also want to live with him in his old age, and he feels something is wrong today.
