Chapter 519: Taking Advantage of Others
"The mother and daughter don't even care about you, how could they possibly notify you?" Xu Yuxiang was also very angry. She only knew about Su Jiaojiao's engagement when she heard from the villagers that Chen Guisheng asked Old Lady Yin to check the date.
She also felt that Chen Guilan was very cruel. No matter what, Su Jiaojiao was the daughter of the Su family. Why was Chen Guisheng busy checking the date?
It’s not like the Su family is completely deserted.
"I did divorce her, but I didn't say I didn't want a daughter." Su Houli grew increasingly angry, knocking on the edge of the kang. "I don't even know what Jiaojiao's partner does or what their family is like. Why did Chen Guilan make the final decision? She actually hid something as important as an engagement from me!"
Even Chen Guisheng kept it from him.
He only knew that the man Su Jiaojiao was dating was surnamed Lu and came from a decent family. He didn't know anything else.
What made him even more angry was that last year, when the mother and daughter came back with their son-in-law, the son-in-law even shared cigarettes on the street. Many people in the village saw it, but his family only heard about it afterwards.
"Humph, that woman Chen Guilan is really different now. Ever since she moved to Jiao County, she's considered herself a city dweller and has looked down on us. Now that she's moved to the imperial capital, she feels even more impressive."
Xu Yuxiang sat upright on the kang. Seeing the chickens fighting in the yard, she called out to the greedy creatures through the window and said to Su Houli, "What's the point of being angry? They're enjoying themselves in the capital, so why would they care about you?"
"I'll go ask Chen Guisheng right away." Su Houli stood up and went to Chen Guisheng's house. He could tolerate other things, but not this one. If he couldn't participate in the engagement, there would be no chance of getting married.
How can a father not be present at his daughter's wedding?
The Chen family is really going too far!
Chen Guisheng had just come back from the fields and was washing his feet in the yard. When he saw Su Houli coming in with a stern face, he ignored him, went into the house after washing his feet, and wiped his feet with a foot cloth.
Chen Juan works in the factory in the village and has not returned.
Xiao Suisui went to the village kindergarten and was not at home. Xu Yue'e was sitting at the door chopping cabbage and chicken feed, chopping loudly with the kitchen knife. She glanced at Su Houli but said nothing.
Su Houli knew she was ill, and seeing she was holding a kitchen knife, he didn't dare to provoke her. He followed Chen Guisheng into the house quietly and sat down on the edge of the kang. "Second brother, I have something to ask you."
"Who is your second brother?" Chen Guisheng said coldly, "We are not relatives now. According to seniority, you have to call me uncle."
"Brother, I heard Jiaojiao is getting engaged?" Su Houli felt that as a leader, he wouldn't bother with people like Chen Guisheng. "Have you checked the engagement date? When is it set?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Chen Guisheng laughed in anger. "It's really strange. You didn't care about Jiaojiao for so many years, so why do you jump out when she's getting engaged? Su Houli, you have to have some dignity."
"How could I have ignored her?" Su Houli said confidently, "I paid her tuition, bought her a bicycle, and gave her our house and land. What else do you want from me?"
"You don't have to use the house and the land to argue." Chen Guisheng knew all about this. "It's obvious who lives in the house now. You know why you gave the house and the land to Jiaojiao in the first place."
"But no matter what, I'm still her father." Su Houli looked at Chen Guisheng in disbelief. "Even if they need to check the date, it should be me who does it. Who are you, her uncle?"
"Now you know you're her father?" Chen Guisheng raged. "Where were you when she had no money to pay for her tuition? Where were you when she and her daughter rented a house and set up a stall in the snack street to make a living?"
"You don't have to tell me this. Everyone had a hard time back then." Su Houli was tired of hearing it. Chen Guilan also accused him of this. He was wrong, but this was a matter between him and Chen Guilan and had nothing to do with Su Jiaojiao.
After all, Su Jiaojiao is also his daughter.
"Then you don't have to judge my position as uncle. Whoever Guilan or Jiaojiao needs will be the boss." Chen Guisheng got angry when he saw Su Houli. He clenched his fists and resisted the urge to hit him. "Get out of here! I don't want to see you at all. You don't need a wife or a daughter now, so don't bother Jiaojiao. It's her bad luck that she's your daughter. Let her go!"
"What are you talking about?" Su Houli said in a high voice, "Her engagement is a happy event. How can I harm her? I have to check for her. What does a woman like Chen Guilan know?"
"Even if she doesn't know anything, she's already sent her daughter to college. You don't have to worry about their affairs." Chen Guisheng didn't want to waste time talking to him and directly pushed him out. "Go away, you're not welcome in our house."
"Chen Guisheng, are you being reasonable?" Su Houli became anxious when he saw Chen Guisheng taking action. "I was trying to be nice to you, but you're being unreasonable, aren't you?"
"I just got ahead of myself, what can you do about it?" Chen Guisheng had never seen such a shameless person before. He was so angry that he kicked Su Houli. Su Houli lost his balance and stumbled to the ground. He got up and rushed towards Chen Guisheng, "I'm going to fight you!"
Chen Guisheng worked in the fields all year round and was a tough guy. He didn't take Su Houli, a man who only knew how to talk, seriously at all. He kicked Su Houli to the ground in a few seconds and said, "I'm telling you, for the sake of being a fellow villager, I won't beat you up. But if you dare to come to my house again, I'll beat you up every time you come."
"Are you leaving or not?" Xu Yue'e asked him expressionlessly, holding a kitchen knife.
Su Houli was so scared that he got up and ran out. A wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him. If he was injured by the lunatic Xu Yue'e, he could only blame himself for his bad luck.
Su Houli was very unwilling and went to discuss the matter with Su Xiumei again.
Since Su Xiumei gave birth to her daughter, she has focused all her energy on her daughter and no longer cares about her mother's family affairs as much as before.
Over the years, she and Gao Meifeng have had a bad relationship because of Xu Yuxiang's retirement care, and she is also very disappointed with Su Houli. He cannot control Gao Meifeng, nor does he take good care of Xu Yuxiang, and he has no sense of responsibility at all.
Now, seeing him come to discuss Su Jiaojiao's matter with her, she started with sarcasm: "They didn't tell you because they didn't want you to get involved in this matter. Why are you so shameless as to check the date for them?"
"But Jiaojiao is from our Su family, we can't just sit back and do nothing."
"Why don't you understand? Su Jiaojiao no longer acknowledges that she is a member of the old Su family. You'd better stop making trouble for yourself." Su Xiumei knew that Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao had made some money in the past two years. People start to act arrogant once they have money. How could the old Su family be in their eyes?
Su Houli had no choice but to return home in disappointment.
When Gao Meifeng heard about this, she said lightly, "Why is this so hard to understand? There's no such thing as a profit. Chen Guilan doesn't want you to get involved in this because there's a betrothal gift, and she just wants to keep the money for herself."
