The little girl, blushing, ran away after being harassed in the street.
Chen Laosan grinned, revealing a set of yellow teeth. He flicked the hair on his forehead, thinking he looked very dashing.
"Mother, hurry up and go, I'm starving!" Chen Laosan said impatiently.
They spent a lot of money on the bus fare from Linxian to Nanxian, so Song Xiaofen and Chen Fugui didn't want to spend any more money and bought two cold and hard pancakes to fill their stomachs.
Chen Laosan hadn't eaten or slept well, and was now exhausted. If there were a bed on the floor, he would lie down and fall asleep without hesitation.
"Almost there, almost there. Once we get over this mountain, it'll be right ahead." Song Xiaofen was also covered in sweat from exhaustion.
Fortunately, they were almost there. The old lady was so excited at the thought of her son going to work in the factory that she even walked with a brisk pace.
After a journey of about three hours, the group finally arrived at Xujia Village.
Some sharp-eyed people had already recognized Song Xiaofen and whispered to those around them, "Isn't that Director Chen's mother?"
"Why are you here again?"
Didn't you just mention bringing back such a big bag of things last time?
"It's only been a few days, and you've already come back?"
"Poor Factory Director Chen, having such a mother!"
"That's right. Director Chen was sold by her family before. Before, when Director Chen's family was almost starving to death, her family never showed up. Now that she's a director and doing well, her family has come running over."
The villagers sighed in dismay, their eyes filled with undisguised contempt as they looked at Song Xiaofen, Chen Fugui, and Chen Laosan.
Chen Laosan was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with the way others were looking at him. He only felt that he was the center of attention, so he held his head high and was extremely proud.
Pfft.
Some onlookers laughed, "Doesn't Director Chen's brother look like a smug old hen that's laid an egg?"
The three of them didn't hear what the others were saying clearly.
It's dinnertime now, and Chen Yunyun is home after work.
She figured the old lady would be back in a couple of days, so she sent the children to Xia Lan's place early on.
"Director Chen, your mother is here again, and she brought two men with her, who seem to be your father and your brother."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunyun smiled at the person who delivered the letter. She put down her needlework, went inside, and locked the wooden door from the inside.
About two or three minutes later, there was a banging sound at the door.
"Zhao Di, Zhao Di, open the door, it's me, your mother!"
The old lady's loud voice could be heard throughout the house. Chen Yunyun calmly tidied up the things in the house before opening the door.
By this time, the old lady had been knocking on the door for a long time, and Chen Fugui and Chen Laosan behind her had angry expressions on their faces.
If Chen Yunyun hadn't arrived in time, Chen Fugui would have kicked her wooden door.
As soon as the door opened, the old lady looked fierce and said, "What have you been doing? I called you for ages and you didn't open the door, were you doing it on purpose?!"
Chen Yunyun did it on purpose, but she didn't say anything. She smiled and said, "Mom, what are you saying? I was too tired from work, so I fell asleep as soon as I got home."
"I don't care if you're really asleep or pretending, hurry up and get some food, I'm starving."
The person who was shouting and giving orders to Chen Yunyun was Chen Laosan.
This was the first time Chen Yunyun had met him. Chen Laosan was about 1.6 meters tall and short and stocky.
A flat face with small eyes, giving him a shifty and unpleasant look that makes him unpleasant to be around.
Chen Yunyun took a half step back to let the so-called "relatives" in. She closed the wooden door and then turned around. "Father and Mother, you must be tired from your journey. Please sit down and have some water."
After leading the people into the house, Chen Yunyun did not go to the kitchen to cook as Song Xiaofen had instructed. She only poured water and stood to the side.
"Why aren't you cooking? What are you doing standing here?"
Chen Fugui had been sizing up Chen Yunyun ever since he came in. He had been irritated by her slow opening of the door, and now that she hadn't cooked for half a day, he was even more annoyed.
The old man stood up, his eyes filled with malice.
Chen Laosan sat with his buttocks askew, ready to watch Chen Yunyun get a beating.
Chen Yunyun sensed Chen Fugui's unfriendly aura. She lowered her eyes and pretended to be innocent. "Father, Mother, don't be angry. I'm out of firewood in the kitchen. I'll go up the mountain to get some. Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
Chen Fugui slammed his fist down on the wooden table, which was not very thick and was about to collapse. The old man said in a cold voice, "Don't think that just because you married far away, I can't control you."
Chen Yunyun nodded vigorously, and before the others could react, she slipped away quickly, looking utterly terrified.
Upon seeing this, Grandma Song praised, "As expected, it's still the old man who's the most capable."
As soon as Chen Yunyun stepped out, she closed the wooden door and locked it from the outside.
Hungry? Then just cook for yourself.
Oh right, it seems Chen Yunyun took everything she could from the kitchen; there probably isn't a single grain of rice left.
Hmm, what should we do then?
This family will have to go hungry.
Chen Yunyun patted her bottom and left. What she had prepared for this whole family was far more than just this; this was just an appetizer!
Chen Yunyun spent two hours collecting firewood and didn't return, which made Chen Fugui and Song Xiaofen realize something was wrong.
"Damn it, she dared to play me for a fool!"
Chen Fugui pretended to pick up a stool and go out to find someone, but when he got to the front door, he found that the door was locked, which made Chen Fugui even more furious.
"Is this bitch tired of living? Does she really think I won't dare to deal with her? Has she forgotten her own name after marrying into this family?"
Chen Fugui cursed and kicked the door.
He was a farmer from the fields, and even though he was over fifty years old, he was still very strong; he kicked the door down with one kick.
The broken wooden door hung crookedly at the entrance, and the noise startled the neighbors on both sides.
The two families next to Chen Yunyun's house unlatched their doors and stood by their own doors, peeking out to watch the commotion.
What happened at Factory Director Chen's house?
Someone from the Xu family next door was also standing at the door; this person was Lin Li.
Seeing Chen Fugui carrying a stool with an angry expression, Lin Li found it amusing. It seemed that Chen Yunyun next door had some kind of conflict with her father.
She rarely watched Chen Yunyun's performance, so she simply picked up a small stool and sat down at the front door.
As Chen Fugui stepped out the door and looked around, he saw Lin Li.
Chen Fugui, carrying a stool, strode aggressively toward Lin Li!
"Hey? What are you doing?!"
Lin Li was terrified, and her tongue almost flew off her tongue.
"Where's Chen Yunyun? Tell her to get out here! She's definitely hiding in one of your houses! If you don't hand her over, I'll smash up your dilapidated houses!"
