As soon as these words were spoken, the only sound left in the room was the sound of burning candles.
Chen Liang knew that his wife's words were inappropriate, so he quickly protected her behind him and faced his uncle's angry glare: "Uncle, don't worry about Xinxin being ignorant. I will follow your arrangements."
Doesn't he want this job?
I want it, but the problem is that my uncle is still eyeing me covetously, so why is my wife so angry?
Seeing his uncle's chest heaving twice and clenching his fists, Chen Liang was so scared that he swallowed his saliva. Oh my God, will this uncle send him to see you with one punch?
In the increasingly tense atmosphere, Chen Wei and Chen's father were ready to rescue Chen Liang.
Xi Jiufeng was indeed very angry. He clenched his fists and then relaxed them, sneering and saying, "This time when Mom dies, I'll give you the job. Next time, you'll push Dad into the water, and you'll inherit the house too. Do you want it?"
Everyone held their breath and dared not say a word.
This was too harsh a statement, almost pointing at Chen Liang and his wife and saying that they were the culprits who killed Chen Ma, just so that they could inherit Chen Ma's job as soon as possible.
He even wanted to get the advantage again and send Chen's father to the six reincarnations just to get the property.
Chen Liang was stunned when he heard this. He quickly pulled Qiao Xin to the ground and kowtowed, "Uncle, we absolutely don't have such intentions. How could I harm my own mother?"
He did not deny that his mother did go to the temple for Chen Jing's health, but no one thought that an accident would happen.
Besides, he and Qiao Xin both have jobs. Chen Jing is so young, why does she need a job?
Mom was at home, earning money, doing housework, and taking care of the children. She provided so many benefits to the couple. How could she be so desperate as to kill Mom Chen?
Xi Jiufeng glanced at the Qiao family members around Qiao Xin and continued to criticize his nephew: "I don't have that idea. Your wife doesn't think so!"
Hearing this, Chen Liang looked back in surprise.
Qiao Xin was truly unwilling to accept this, and with her husband beside her, she raised her voice a little, "Just two or three days ago, Mom said this position was reserved for my son. My neighbor Aunt Qu can testify to this."
She shook off Chen Liang's hand that was pulling her sleeve. She wasn't lying, so why couldn't she speak?
Aunt Qu was also present. She forced herself to smile awkwardly and testify that Aunt Chen did say that.
The matter came to a stalemate. Before her death, Chen's mother said that the position would be given to Chen Liang, and her uncle Xi Jiufeng said that it would be given to Chen Wei. Now they are in a dilemma.
The scene became particularly ugly. Before the funeral even took place, work had already created a rift between the two brothers.
Father Chen quickly tried to smooth things over: "Why don't we discuss it tonight? The guests are all here, and we don't want them to laugh at us."
Considering that it would be embarrassing to cause a commotion at his sister's funeral, Xi Jiufeng acquiesced.
The Qiao family was unhappy. If they left at night, what would Qiao Xin still be responsible for this job?
Mother Qiao jumped up and disagreed: "No, tell me the truth now, or my daughter will give you a hard time tonight!"
Others looked at the Warriors.
Mother Qiao had no way to muster up the courage to refute. Even if Xi Jiufeng was a strong man who could do the work of two men, she couldn't let her daughter lose the job.
Xi Jiufeng did not have the gentlemanly habit of not hitting women. He rushed over with his fists clenched and knocked the man down.
Amid the crowd's exclamations, he looked down at them in a sinister manner and asked, "Do you still want to say one, two, three, four?"
Of course, the Qiao family couldn't bear to see Qiao's mother getting beaten, so they rushed up to fight with Xi Jiufeng, but he knocked them to the ground in no time.
Fortunately, Xiang Meimei was quick-witted and pulled her son Chen Zhong away so that he was not affected.
Qiao Xin cried as her family helped her up. Seeing the severe injuries on her father and brother's faces, she stuffed the child into Chen Liang's arms and cried, "You are all bullying me. I want a divorce!"
During the fight, she shouted until her voice was hoarse but her uncle didn't stop. She was heartbroken to see her family lying down.
Taking care of the child with various illnesses was exhausting. When she asked for the job that her mother-in-law had promised her, her uncle beat up her family. Qiao Xin was so angry that she simply didn't want to live with Chen Liang anymore.
The Chen family was stunned. They didn't expect things to turn out like this.
When the word divorce was uttered, Qiao's mother was the first to recover. She yelled, "My daughter, come to my house. They don't give you a job and they even beat you up. These in-laws are unacceptable!"
She held her waist and stood up, wanting to take Qiao Xin home.
Chen Liang, holding his daughter, was extremely anxious and hurried to persuade her: "Mother-in-law, don't be angry. I apologize to you. My uncle didn't mean it."
Xi Jiufeng did it on purpose! He was still threatening the Qiao family with his fists clenched.
Seeing that she had her son-in-law under control, Qiao's mother felt smug and raised her voice even louder: "What do you mean? You dare to hit us in broad daylight? You will beat my Xinxin to death tonight! "
The guests were pointing fingers at the dispute between the Chen and Qiao families. It was rare to see such a scene during a funeral.
It was a customary practice that even if they were fighting over family property, they would have to do it behind closed doors late at night when no one was around, exposing the family's dirty laundry in front of everyone, and the Qiao family would not be in the right.
It was at this time that Zhang Jidi brought Xiang Hongqi to pay tribute. They did not say anything and quietly put down the paper wreaths.
Let's wait and see what happens first. It's not Zhang Jidi's style to rashly go to the center of the battlefield and fight against the red-top white.
And at the moment, it seems that their daughter Xiang Meimei has not been affected, so Zhang Jidi and his wife are relieved. They just quietly move over and stand behind her.
