However, before the old couple had time to eat the salted egg yolk and pork dumplings made by their daughter-in-law, an unexpected guest, Chen Wei, arrived.
Chen Wei is the eldest daughter of Chen's uncle who married into the Fang family. Ever since Chen's uncle's 'daughter-in-law' Su Qinhong ran away from home, although she had divorced Chen Duo before Su Qinhong ran away, after Su Qinhong was suspected of being a spy, Chen Wei, who had a close relationship with Su Qinhong, was implicated. Commander Chen didn't need to do anything, as Chen's uncle's family, who had reported to Commander Chen, were also implicated!
First, Chen's uncle lost his job as deputy director of a machinery factory. Soon after, Chen's mother, Chen Wan, and Chen Ning also lost their jobs. As for Chen Wei, the Fang family was afraid of being implicated by her, and Fang Wenbin and she had no children, so Chen Wei's husband Fang Wenbin also took the initiative to divorce her.
Commander Chen and his mother had no good feelings towards their niece, especially his mother, who had a very average impression of her niece, Chen Wei, and just wanted to keep her distance.
Not to mention that the eldest daughter-in-law Su Qinhong, who abused her grandson, was her classmate and was introduced to her eldest daughter by her, and how badly she harmed her eldest daughter and her grandson, let's just talk about her messy divorce.
When something happened to the family of Chen's eldest uncle, Fang's family was afraid of being implicated, so Fang Wenbin divorced her immediately. She was stubborn and refused to divorce, which was fine, but the couple dragged it out for half a year before divorcing. The next day, Fang's family was reported and the family was broken up.
If you tell her that this matter has nothing to do with Chen Wei, she won't believe it.
Mother Chen felt a chill in her heart and really didn't want to have anything to do with Uncle Chen's family anymore.
And speaking of it, what Chen's mother regrets most now is that she agreed to let the eldest son be passed on to his uncle.
Her eldest son's life was ruined by his aunt and Chen Wei, and her grandson almost got into trouble as well.
Mother Chen felt hateful whenever she thought of this.
When Chen's mother saw her husband calling the guards to bring the people in, she looked very unhappy. She thought her husband was soft-hearted towards the Chen family's uncle and his family. She said, "Old Chen, your eldest brother's family has harmed our eldest brother and grandson like this. Your niece is not a good person either. If you are soft-hearted towards this family, we don't have to live together anymore!"
Commander Chen was so angry that his eyes widened. They were an old couple, so why were they still talking about divorce at this age? Aren't they afraid of being laughed at by the younger generation?
Commander Chen also knew that Mother Chen had misunderstood, and said that Chen Wei had come every day recently. In fact, Uncle Chen's family had also come every day to plead for mercy before, but Commander Chen ignored them.
But this eldest niece is thicker-skinned than her parents. Even if he refuses her every day, she still comes every day. Commander Chen can guess what this eldest niece is thinking.
Speaking of which, the smartest and most thoughtful person in his eldest brother's family is this eldest niece.
If he doesn't see her today, her eldest niece will come every day tomorrow and the day after tomorrow as usual. He doesn't like trouble, so he might as well give up the idea of her and get rid of her as soon as possible.
Commander Chen explained briefly, and then Mother Chen said nothing.
Chen Wei, with a look of surprise, brought a basket of plums into the Chen family's living room and said in a very intimate tone, "Uncle, aunt! I picked some plums from my home for you to taste!"
Commander Chen had no expression. Mother Chen heard her niece Chen Wei calling her and her husband affectionately as usual, as if nothing bad had happened between the two families and she had not harmed her eldest son. Mother Chen couldn't bear to hear it anymore and said, "Our two families are not that familiar. Your father has severed ties with my husband. We are not relatives anymore. We should have less contact in the future. If you have something to say, tell me quickly. If not, your uncle and I have other things to do and we won't entertain you! We don't like these plums either. You can take them back later!"
Chen Wei's face turned pale and her eyes immediately turned red. She said to Commander Chen, "Uncle, I really didn't know what my father did at the time. If I knew, I would definitely stop him from doing such a stupid thing. Uncle and aunt, you were so good to me in the past. I will always remember it! I am not here to plead for my parents this time. I just want to come and see you!"
Chen Wei rolled up her sleeves while crying, saying that her father was hopeless now, and that he drank every day and beat people after losing his job. She didn't want to plead for him at all.
Her mother also abandoned her and divorced her, and she scolded and pinched her every day. Chen Wei cried so pitifully.
Mother Chen frowned.
Commander Chen originally didn't intend to pay attention to his niece, Chen Wei. But when he saw the injuries on her arms, both arms were bruised all over. It was obvious that she had been pinched or beaten. After all, Chen Wei was his biological niece. Commander Chen's face turned particularly ugly: "Do your parents beat you every day?"
Chen Wei just cried and said nothing.
Commander Chen asked her to speak.
Chen Weicai whispered that the couple thought it was shameful to divorce her and said that they wanted to marry her to an old man!
Chen Wei cried bitterly: "Uncle, I came to you because I really had no other choice!"
When Commander Chen heard what his brother and his wife had done, he was so angry that his face turned blue, and he wished he could have the couple brought to him and give them a beating.
As soon as Commander Chen called the guards, Chen Wei immediately cried and begged, "Uncle, I came here secretly without telling my parents. If my parents knew that I came to you to complain, they would definitely not let me go!"
Chen Wei cried particularly hard, and Commander Chen was so angry that he was shaking, and he asked her directly what her plan was.
Chen Wei said, "Uncle, my parents have given up on me and are getting a divorce. If I stay at home, my parents will definitely not tolerate me and will force me to marry off sooner or later, huh..."
Chen Wei choked up and continued to say that it would be nice if she had someone to marry. Commander Chen's face turned a little cold.
Chen Weiba begged to see Commander Chen, crying loudly: "Uncle, if you don't help me, I can't live anymore!"
Chen Wei cried heart-wrenchingly, her voice became hoarse, and she looked like she was going to faint from crying. Her face was pale and looked particularly pitiful. Commander Chen looked as if he was thinking about something.
But Chen's mother couldn't feel any sympathy at all.
Not to mention how much harm her niece Chen Wei had done to her eldest son and grandson, she didn't believe a single word of what she said.
To be honest, her uncle and his wife loved this young lady the most.
When this niece just got divorced, her husband was a little soft-hearted and sent someone to the Fang family. He learned that her eldest brother and sister-in-law had made a fuss at the Fang family's door for this niece and asked the Fang family to give her an explanation. But this niece went to her husband and cried about how her biological parents had beaten and scolded her in various ways and wanted to marry her to an old man.
Mother Chen frowned, she really had no good feelings towards this ungrateful and vicious girl. If her man really wanted to introduce her to a good girl, it would be a rip-off.
Of course, if her man really introduced a good partner to this girl, she would be even more uncomfortable.
Afraid that her husband would immediately agree with the girl, Chen's mother immediately spoke out, "Mr. Chen, let's find out what's going on first!" and sent Chen Wei away.
"Uncle!"
Chen Wei had made a good plan before she came. She thought that since she had made a fuss about her parents scolding her for wanting to marry her to an old man, her uncle would surely have a soft heart and help her find a good match. Given her uncle's status, the match he found for her would naturally be very outstanding and well-respected, so she wouldn't have to go to the countryside.
But who would have thought that after she cried, her uncle had some reaction at first, but then no reaction at all. When Chen Wei heard that her mother wanted to send her away, she became panicked and anxious.
Commander Chen is in this position now, so naturally he is not easily fooled by a little girl. He just heard that his eldest brother and his wife were going to marry their eldest niece off, and saw that the child's arms were covered with scars. He was really furious and planned to find her a job so that she could stand on her own.
But after his eldest niece revealed her intention, he calmed down a little and remembered that his eldest brother and his wife loved this young lady the most.
When this eldest niece just got divorced, his eldest brother and sister-in-law went to the Fang family many times to complain on her behalf.
Commander Chen looked meaningfully at his calculating niece, and suddenly asked with a cold face, "Did your parents really beat you? And they want to marry you off?"
No matter how scheming Chen Wei was, facing Commander Chen's sharp eyes, her heart was beating so fast and she was so panicked that she dared not look him in the eye. She was not sure if she had revealed something wrong. She gritted her teeth and made up her mind not to admit it. What if her uncle was just testing her? Chen Wei cried until she was hoarse and continued to act: "Uncle, if you don't help me, I really can't live anymore. Uncle, please help me, I will work like a cow and a horse to repay you for the rest of my life!"
She hastened to say that her requirements were not high, as long as the other party's family was decent and he had a good job.
Commander Chen looked at her for a long time. Chen Wei's forehead was covered with sweat and she was flustered until Commander Chen pointed out that Chen's uncle and his wife had been busy with her divorce and had even gone to Fang's house to make trouble. The color on Chen Wei's face immediately faded away and her body swayed as if she was going to faint in the next second. She never thought that her uncle actually knew about this.
Then wouldn't her uncle know about the disgrace she just put on her parents? Chen Wei's eyes went dark and she quickly admitted her mistake: "Uncle, I was wrong, I was wrong, I didn't mean to lie to you, I was just too afraid to go to the countryside,"
Chen Wei recalled the previous batch of educated youth who went to the countryside. Some of them she knew either married in the countryside or met with accidents. Ever since she knew there was a possibility that she would go to the countryside, she felt panicked and scared.
Commander Chen didn't say much in the end. He just told her to go back and be honest and not treat people as fools. As for this favor, he wouldn't help and couldn't help. Chen Wei collapsed to the ground.
Commander Chen said this, but as soon as Chen Wei left, he planned to arrange his nieces who were going to the countryside to live in the village where his daughter-in-law lived. It just so happened that the atmosphere in that village was very good, and there were also relatives there.
He didn't want to trouble his in-laws too much, but it would be fine to have someone keep an eye on them. However, before Commander Chen could make the arrangements, his niece Chen Wei plotted against her own sister and made the second child, Chen Wan, marry a junior leader of the Revolutionary Committee who was about his age, and changed the place of going to the countryside to a village near the military region where Axi was located.
