Chu Tian took it with a smile and said jokingly, "There's only ten dollars left to pay off. Doesn't it feel particularly relieved?"
Yao Youjun smiled foolishly and nodded. "Well, but I may not be able to come next month. If I can't come, I'll send the ten yuan next month."
Chu Tian waved his hand, "No hurry, no hurry. It will snow in December, and the roads will be difficult to walk on. It will be the same if you come back after the New Year and it's warm."
Yao Youjun scratched his head and refused, "No, I still want to pay it off as soon as possible, otherwise I will always feel very uncomfortable."
"Then you can see for yourself."
Chu Tian thought for a moment and asked again, "By the way, you won't be going to work until tomorrow morning, right?"
Yao Youjun nodded, "Tomorrow."
Chu Tian nodded slightly, "Then stay one night, I'll take you back tomorrow morning."
Yao Youjun didn't bother to be polite with Chu Tian and nodded in agreement.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the end of the year, New Year's Eve. This year's New Year's celebration was different from last year's. Last year, it was only Chu Tian, Yao Xiujuan, and Xinxin, but this year, dozens of people were celebrating together. Each family brought their own food rations and came to Chu Tian's house before dawn to start busying themselves...
Chu Wen didn't want to go home at first, but it was New Year's Eve, so he took his wife and children back to the old house before dinner. Seeing that the whole yard was empty with only Liu Zhaodi there, he felt something was wrong.
"Mom, where are my eldest and second brothers?"
Liu Zhaodi was delighted to see her most beloved son return, but the smile faded when she heard his question.
"They? What else could they be doing? They were called away by that old bastard!"
Chu Wen's eyes flickered slightly, "My grandma hasn't left yet?"
Li Guangmin said with a sullen face, "What grandma? Does she treat you as her own grandson? Is there any grandma who would extort money from her own grandson?"
Liu Zhaodi was stunned for a moment. "What do you mean? What money are you extorting? Who's extorting money? Who's extorting money?"
Li Guangmin was very emotional. "What else could it mean? It's Chu Wen's good grandmother! She extorted nearly a thousand yuan from us!"
"Mom, I really can't live like this anymore. First, Chu Tian threatened Chu Wen and cheated him out of a thousand dollars, and now his grandmother..."
Liu Zhaodi was so angry that she slammed her hand on the table and yelled, "What does this old woman want to do?"
Li Guangmin continued, "Mom, if you don't intervene, our family of four will have no chance of survival in the regiment. First, Chu Tian caused Chu Wen to fail to get the position of director, and then his grandmother took away the money we were going to use to build relationships. Are they trying to force us to death?"
“Woo woo woo…”
As she said this, she lowered her head and pretended to cry.
When Liu Zhaodi heard this, her face turned blue and red with anger.
Seeing that Liu Zhaodi didn't say anything else, Chu Wen pulled Li Guangmin, his tone filled with endless sadness, "Guangmin, forget it, don't tell mother. After all, grandma is our elder, so just think of it as our filial respect to her as the younger generation!"
"It's not easy for my mother either..."
Li Guangmin burst into tears again after hearing this, slapping his thigh and wailing, "This life is unbearable. Not only am I bullied by my brothers, but I'm also bullied by this old lady who relies on her age to bully others..."
Liu Zhaodi stood up in an instant and said, "Don't cry anymore. Come on, I'll help you get justice!"
Seeing this, Chu Wen's eyes flashed with a glimmer, and then disappeared in an instant. He falsely persuaded, "Mom, forget it, it really doesn't matter. I'll just treat it as a filial tribute to grandma..."
"You don't need to suffer any more for your son..."
Liu Zhaodi's face was filled with anger, "I..."
Before she could finish her words, the door of the main room was pushed open with a loud "bang". The three people in the main room looked over and saw Uncle Chu and Uncle Chu standing on the left and right of Old Lady Chu, with all the descendants of the Chu family standing behind them.
Old Madam Chu's cold voice came, "Don't bother to settle accounts with me. I'm right here now. What accounts do you want to settle with me?"
Liu Zhaodi's body swayed, "I..."
Chu Wen's face turned pale in an instant, "Grandma, when did you come..."
Old Madam Chu snorted coldly, "When you asked me why I hadn't left yet!"
Chu Wen, "..."
Li Guangmin saw Chu Wen's face change, and immediately stepped forward to protect Chu Wen with dissatisfaction, "What do you want to do? You want to hit us again? I tell you, if you dare to hit us, I will..."
Uncle Chu's dignified voice came, "What do you want? Do you want to hit the old lady? Or do you want to hit us?"
Li Guangmin frowned and glanced up and down at Uncle Chu. Seeing the patches on his sleeves, he snorted in disdain. "Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to talk to me like that?"
Liu Zhaodi was so impressed by Chu Ren and Chu Yi when they were young that when she heard Li Guangmin being so disrespectful to Chu Ren, she immediately shouted, "Guangmin, how can you talk like that!"
Li Guangmin was a little slow to react after being yelled at by Liu Zhaodi. After a while, he came to his senses and immediately looked at Liu Zhaodi in disbelief, "Mom? You yelled at me for a piece of dirt?"
Liu Zhaodi frowned every day, "Guangmin, this is your uncle, you..."
Before he could finish his words, Uncle Chu waved his hand and said coldly, "No, I'm not their uncle! I'm just a peasant! I'm the old lady's son!"
Liu Zhaodi's face turned unhappy when she heard this. "Brother, you..."
Uncle Chu interrupted her again, "Don't call me big brother either. I don't have a sister-in-law as good as you! If you give birth to a son who doesn't know how to respect the elderly, you'll marry a daughter-in-law who is also ignorant!"
"Aren't you afraid of how I'll blame you when you reunite with me a hundred years from now?"
"I really don't know what you're thinking. Aren't you afraid that if your younger brother were to know how you treated his own flesh and blood, he'd be heartbroken?"
"Has my younger brother never appeared in your dreams in all these years? Why? It must be because he resents you, hates you, and blames you!"
When Liu Zhaodi listened to Chu Ren's words that hit her heart, her face turned pale, and she staggered and fell into the chair, holding her face and sobbing softly.
Li Guangmin didn't care whether she would be blamed after her mother-in-law died. She only remembered that the middle-aged man in front of her had just scolded her. She immediately yelled unhappily, "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to say that to me? Do you know who I am? Do you know where I'm from?"
Chu Ren didn't even look at her, and said lightly, "When things talk, I never listen or reply!"
Li Guangmin's face turned pale instantly when he heard this. "You old bastard, you shameless old bastard, you TM..."
