"Do you think you can help your sister-in-law here?" Chen Yongnian suddenly questioned.
Chen Yongliang looked up, appearing somewhat unconvinced.
"Don't forget who started this whole thing with Tang Qiwen, and how your family offended the Tang family!" Chen Yongnian's voice grew colder. "If Tang Qiwen hadn't been somewhat wary of you, your words and actions would have already ruined the Chen family!"
"Brother, why are you so hesitant and timid when you go to work at the county government office?" Chen Yongliang stood up and asked loudly.
"Chen Yongliang, don't think you're so great just because you know a few words and can run a business! You have no idea how complicated things are outside!" Chen Yongnian slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his eyes filled with anger.
"If you insist on doing this, then I won't work anymore, and your sister-in-law's business will also be canceled. We'll just stay in the village and live like before!"
Chen Yongliang's eyes trembled; he never expected his elder brother to say such a thing.
His hands were trembling with fear of Chen Yongnian, and he dared not breathe.
Chen Yongnian was incredibly intimidating, much like the officials in the government.
This was the first time Chen Yongliang had heard such words.
He couldn't help but ask himself, was he really wrong?
Hearing the noise, Wu Gousheng peeked out and then hurriedly ran out, smiling obsequiously at Chen Yongnian, "Brother-in-law, you've eaten a lot. Yongliang hasn't had dinner yet, so I'll take him inside to eat."
Chen Yongnian remained silent, and the oppressive aura emanating from him lessened slightly.
Wu Gousheng took Chen Yongnian's silence as tacit agreement and quickly dragged Chen Yongliang into the house, fearing that the other party might say something thoughtless again.
The little ones inside were pushing and shoving each other, but in the end, An'an was the bravest and took the lead to come out.
She walked up to Chen Yongnian, gently placed her small hand on the back of his hand, and said softly, "Father, don't be angry. If you get angry, An'an will feel sorry for you, and Mother will be unhappy too."
Chen Yongnian gradually calmed down with An'an's comforting words.
The chill dissipated, and a touch of tenderness appeared in his eyes.
He raised his hand and touched An'an's cheek, saying gently, "Okay, Father isn't angry anymore! When Father wasn't around, your Mother was always this late."
It's already past 7:45 PM, and everyone should be back by now, no matter what!
“No, Mother usually comes home very early,” Pingping replied.
"Father, will Mother be alright? She seemed unhappy after taking An'an back to town yesterday and the day before." An'an blinked, as if waiting for Chen Yongnian's answer.
“Alright, I’ll have a good talk with your mother when she gets back,” Chen Yongnian replied gently, then looked at the tightly closed courtyard gate.
With Miss Fang here, Madam will be fine; she's probably busy with something.
