Old Mrs. Chen's shamelessness has exceeded Chen Zhanshan's expectations.
He clenched his fists, really wanting to resort to violence.
Seeing her parents so angry they couldn't speak, Chen Qingqing felt heartbroken.
Alright, since you've come to my doorstep, don't blame me for being impolite. Today I'll make sure you have a lunch you'll never forget.
She suppressed her anger and smiled faintly.
"Dad, Mom, what they say is right. A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. It's normal for neighbors to visit each other. It's better to be lucky than lucky. Let's have them stay for lunch. You two go and cook!"
Grandma Chen was stunned by Chen Qingqing's drastic change. What's wrong with this brat?
They didn't make a fuss, and even invited the old couple to stay for dinner. Has their personality changed?
No, no, that brat is utterly wicked; who knows what other bad things she's up to?
But judging from her words and actions, she didn't seem to be feigning sincerity.
Was she afraid of getting into trouble?
Yes, that's right, that should be it.
It's human nature to curry favor with the powerful.
That brat isn't stupid; when she gets involved with hair, she's smarter than a monkey and more cunning than a chicken.
If you really offended the parents of a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, the worst that could happen was having your property confiscated; in more serious cases, you could lose your head.
She's practically begging to curry favor with the Chen family!
But she oversimplified the issue. How could all those past events be wiped clean?
But as the old saying goes, if you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a coward!
How can you refuse meat that's been delivered right to your mouth?
This will satisfy my craving; who knows, this brat might even personally hand them several hundred taels of silver later...
At this moment, Old Man Chen was also completely shocked. He couldn't believe that all of this was real. Not only did Chen Qingqing not blame him, but she also cooked delicious food to treat him. Was this a dream?
Hearing Chen Qingqing's words, Chen Zhanshan was completely bewildered. "Girl, what are you trying to do? We don't owe them anything, why should we invite them to stay for a meal?"
"That's right, you're so confused. You've forgotten how they treated our family back then. You were almost killed by them, and you still want me to cook for them? You'd be better off feeding them shit and pee."
Lin was no longer the virtuous woman she used to be; she was so angry that she started swearing and stood there motionless.
“I agree with Mother. They don’t deserve to eat in our house. You two old folks, get out of here. You’re not welcome in our home.”
Chen Han puffed out his cheeks and angrily stepped forward, trying to push people out.
Just as the elderly couple were still wondering what was going on, Chen Han suddenly pushed them, and they immediately came to their senses.
Old Mrs. Chen reached out and slapped Chen Han, scolding, "You brat, it's not like you're in charge of your own home. Your sister agreed to let us stay for dinner, so why are you pushing and shoving us?"
"That's right, you disrespectful brat! You've wasted your education, and you have no filial piety whatsoever. It's a waste of all the love we've given you. Get out of here!" Old Man Chen reprimanded sternly with a stern face.
Upon hearing his words, Chen Han retorted sarcastically, "When have you ever cared for me? Aren't you ashamed to say such a thing?"
"You heartless bastard! How could I not love you? I even held you once when you were little!"
Old Chen gets angry whenever he talks about it. He's never held someone else's child in his life. That day, he suddenly felt like teasing Chen Han, but as soon as he picked him up, the boy pooped all over him. He was so angry that he almost threw Chen Han to his death.
Seeing Chen Han acting like a little tiger, Chen Qingqing quickly stopped him and gave him a wink, "Xiao Han, listen to your sister. It's only polite to reciprocate. Since they love visiting our house so much, how can we be rude to them? If word gets out, people will say we're not hospitable."
"Sis, this isn't reciprocity; their behavior is just being unreasonable." Although Chen Han was dissatisfied, his sister had always disliked these two people and wouldn't invite them to dinner for no reason.
perhaps......
He seemed to understand a little; his sister was looking for an opportunity to teach that shameless old couple a lesson.
A mocking smile flashed in Chen Han's eyes as he looked at the stunned Chen Zhanshan and Lin Shi. "Father, Mother, my sister is right. Neighbors are better than distant relatives. You should hurry up and prepare some food and drink!"
"Xiao Han, why are you adding to the chaos?" Chen Zhanshan stamped his feet anxiously.
Mrs. Lin looked incredulous, but since her daughter and son didn't object, she couldn't say anything.
Reluctantly, she nodded, "Alright, Mom will listen to you. I'll go cook now."
Chen Qingqing glanced at Old Madam Chen, noticing the calculating look in her eyes, and quickly said to the departing Lin Shi,
"Mom, make more delicious food. I want to eat braised pork, stewed ribs, steamed fish, and beggar's chicken."
"Alright, Mother will go prepare now." Reluctantly, Lin Shi pulled Chen Zhanshan out, muttering, "What's wrong with these two silly children today?"
Seeing Lin turn and leave, Old Mrs. Chen's heart pounded with excitement. She had thought the brat was just saying it casually, but she hadn't expected it to be true.
She felt like she was dreaming.
My little darling, that brat is a real scoundrel, she's capable of anything!
The sun must have risen in the west today; they actually invited them to stay for dinner.
It seems she must have heard some rumors and knows that a scholar like him is not someone to be offended easily.
That's why they took the initiative to find a way to reconcile with the old house.
At least she has some self-awareness. Considering she acknowledged her mistakes and was willing to correct them, I reluctantly put in a good word for her with the third brother, asking him to forgive her past rebellious behavior...
Old Man Chen looked at Chen Qingqing, who was all smiles, and a hint of panic flashed across his face.
He thought there was something wrong with his ears, so he quickly asked again.
"Qing girl, what did you just say? Are you inviting us to stay for dinner?"
"Yes, we're all neighbors. It's rare for me to come back. Since you've made it here, please stay for a meal."
As Chen Qingqing spoke, she poured two glasses of water and handed them to the two of them.
"Have some water and rest for a while. My parents will go to the kitchen to prepare some food and drinks, and we'll eat in a little while."
"Alright, alright, there are no outsiders here, so please don't go to too much trouble. A simple meal will do." Old Chen finally understood that they genuinely wanted to invite them to stay for a meal; there was no doubt about it.
Old Mrs. Chen was furious at what Old Mr. Chen said. This old man is really sick. Let people do whatever they want. Isn't eating big fish and meat more enjoyable?
But he, on the other hand, was being obnoxious and making small talk. He's utterly hopeless and can't possibly be considered respectable.
She was displeased and glared at Old Man Chen fiercely.
"You're really bored out of your mind. What do you mean by 'simple' and 'don't spend too much'? Is Qing girl short of money?"
Old Chen shrank back, too ashamed to utter a sound...
