Chapter 85 - 085 (Catch Bugs, Part 1)
“Seven or eighty thousand.”
Chen Yuan repeated it again, and she didn’t take the money seriously at all, as if it was seven or eight yuan.
It took Chen Mian a long time to find her voice, and she took a deep breath and slowed down. What is the concept of 70,000 or 80,000 yuan?
Not to mention 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, that is, if a household of 10,000 yuan comes out of their village, they must be said to be rich.
With these seven or eight thousand dollars, I bought a car at random, so this is really too rich.
It took Chen Mian a long time to say, “How did you earn this money?”
“There is nothing to comment on this.” Chen Yuan said lightly, and it seemed that she had no obligation to tell Chen Mian about herself.
Chen Mian took a disciplined tone and immediately reprimanded Chen Yuan for being rude: “I’m your sister, why can’t you say it?”
Chen Yuejin frowned suddenly: “Xiao Mian, I think you are really losing money.”
Chen Mian was unhappy: “Dad, what are you talking about? I’m just curious. If you have money, you should share it with your family, shouldn’t it?”
Chen Mian’s husband Yu Xu also said, “Xiao Mian is right. Did you earn the money Chen Yuan yourself or who gave it to you.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Huai, but he was so frightened by Shen Huai’s sharp gaze that he shrank back and didn’t dare to look again.
Chen Yuan said indifferently: “No comment. If you ask again, you won’t be able to ask anything. Don’t waste your efforts.”
Chen Mian was in a hurry: “Really, are you so selfish!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuejin suddenly shouted loudly: “Shut up, and if you ask again, take your children and get out quickly. It’s a new year, but it won’t make you worry.”
Chen Mian was taken aback and really shut her mouth, but she felt that her father was really partial, and she just asked, as if she took advantage of Chen Yuan.
Sometimes I think that Chen Yuan is his own, and he must have picked it up.
Thinking that Chen Mian was sitting on the side and sulking, in fact, she could just leave in a fit of anger now.
I used to do the same to my father, but after hearing the news that Chen Yuan had become so rich today, I really wanted to know the reason, so I was unwilling to leave like this.
Su Wanhua was busy in the kitchen, and Chen Yuan was also busy. The two cooked a few dishes, but they were disturbed by Chen Mian’s uninvited guest.
I felt uncomfortable for a moment. Although I knew it was Chen Yuan’s sister, it obviously felt like an uninvited guest.
Chen Mian’s husband, Yu Xudong, looked around, and found that his father-in-law’s house had a lot of good things. The most conspicuous thing was that there were two packages of very delicate Magnolia cigarettes on the table. .
Ordinary people are reluctant to buy it, and it is not easy to buy it. Needless to say, Chen Yuan and the others must have brought it back.
In addition, I can also see a lot of fruits on display. My father-in-law usually buys so many fresh fruits. It is also bought by his youngest daughter and son-in-law.
It’s really generous to spend money, it’s really rich, the two of them are really rich, and it seems to be profitable.
Yu Xu rolled his eyes and hurriedly pushed his daughter in front of Chen Yuan and Shen Huai and said, “This is your little aunt and little uncle, call someone quickly. For the new year, let the child give you New Year’s greetings.”
Yu Xiaoyue shouted at Chen Yuan a little timidly: “Hello, auntie.” It was a little hard to say to Shen Huai.
“Hello, uncle.”
Chen Yuan and Shen Huai nodded, as a greeting, and asked Dabao Erbao to pass the fruit to the child to eat. The adults looked ignorant and had nothing to do with the child, so they would not be cold-faced with the child.
Yu Xu saw that the two of them didn’t move, and suddenly said: “Chen Yuan, it’s already New Year’s Eve, why should you give the child some New Year’s money, and it’s been a long time since I saw it, you’re an auntie, why don’t you say no? .”
If you say this, if you are a thin-skinned person, then you must give the money to the child. After all, the other party has asked for it, and it will be shameful not to give it.
So even if you don’t want to give it again, it is estimated that there is no other way but to take out the money.
Chen Yuejin really can’t stand it anymore this time, it’s really shameful, is there such a lack of money? After seeing that Chen Yuan is rich, Yu Xu is too cheeky enough to say such things.
Although it may be a custom to say that it’s New Year’s Eve, but whoever gave the red envelope did not ask for money directly, the eldest son-in-law is not as good as even a child.
“Yu Xu, I’ll give you this New Year’s money. You two couples can leave quickly.” After Chen Yuejin finished speaking, he was about to pay for the money and wanted to send the two to leave quickly. Chen Yuan and Shen Huai were not happy. This was too deceiving.
Especially feeling that the other party was too shameless, Chen Yuan said with a sneer in an instant: “You don’t need to spend money on Dad, this New Year’s money should also be given, why don’t we do it like this, our Shen family also has three children, and it’s the first time we’ve seen each other since the new year. When it comes to aunt and uncle, why don’t we give our children three red envelopes, everyone is happy, isn’t it good?”
Chen Mian and Yu Xu were dumbfounded at first sight. The two of them had been visiting the house to see what new things were in the house, but they didn’t notice that there were still three children, and only noticed their existence at this time.
What are these three children doing? All of them are half-sized.
Shen Huai explained to the two: “This is my nephews, come on, give New Year’s greetings to aunt and uncle, and they will give you red envelopes after the New Year.”
Dabao Erbao Niuniu was very obedient, and the three children stepped forward to say hello to Chen Mian and Yu Xu: “Hello, auntie, uncle.”
Chen Yuan smiled to herself and waved her hand: “Eldest sister, the red envelopes you give to your children should not be left empty-handed during the Chinese New Year. Your child is a child, and ours is a child, so you should treat red envelopes equally. , can’t be biased.”
Chen Mian and Yu Xu were instantly blinded, but they never thought that Chen Yuan would make such a move. The other party has three children. If they give red envelopes, they will give three copies. There is only one child in their own family. To exchange for one, how to calculate this account is too much of a loss.
The faces of the two turned from black to red, and they were very ugly. After a long while, they said, “I didn’t bring so much money when I came out today.”
Chen Yuan waited for these words, and scolded instantly with a cold face: “The New Year’s Eve came to my father’s house and didn’t take anything, so you guys are too embarrassed to come here, there are more than 30 people, and they don’t even want their faces, so I don’t care. If you have seen such a shameless person, you two still don’t hurry to find a hole to get in, it’s really shameful and conspicuous to come out.”
She has found out that this eldest sister is not good to Chen Yuejin at all, let alone cares. Chen Yuejin is such a good person, and he has never mentioned the benefits of the eldest sister since he came back. What does this mean? It means that these two are not worth mentioning at all.
These two couples can still come to ask for news empty-handed, they are really thick-skinned, and they are really upset not to scold them.
“What did Chen Yuan say? When you’re not at home, it’s not that I want to help take care of my father. You can leave as soon as you say it, and you haven’t been seen for more than half a year. Now you’re embarrassed to talk about me?”
Chen Yuan asked back: “You said that you took care of your father, do you just talk about taking care of your father? May I ask what kind of things in this house did you buy in the past six months and how much did you spend? Point it out to me and let me see. Look.”
Chen Mian would be dumbfounded. She didn’t seem to have bought anything for her father during the year, mainly because Chen Yuejin kept calling Chen Yuan every day, and when she heard this, she didn’t want to spend any money.
Chen Yuan said again: “How is it, I can’t tell you, it seems that you didn’t buy anything, so what qualifications do you have to come here to talk nonsense, really unfilial daughter.”
Chen Mian was completely anxious this time, and her voice raised a lot: “I’m not filial, don’t tell me you are filial, if you have the ability, you can take our father into the provincial capital, you can live a good life in the city yourself, and let our father be filial. The country suffers, and no one in the village says that you are unfilial, raising you this time is all in vain, even if you say it nicely, you can’t do it at all.”
She said this because she thought that it was absolutely impossible for Chen Yuan to bring Chen Yuejin into the city. Women who have been married understand this kind of thing, of course, because her husband does not allow it.
Just like Yu Xu didn’t let her buy things from her parents’ house, that’s a reason.
If Chen Yuan really wanted to bring Chen Yuejin to the city, then Shen Huai would definitely not be happy, it was absolutely impossible.
So Chen Yuan is not the filial piety she said
It didn’t take long for Chen Mian to speak, when she heard Shen Huai interrupt her conversation and said, “You are wrong, the purpose of our visit this time is to take our father back to Wucheng, and on filial piety, you I really can’t compare to Chen Yuan’s hair, and what the people in the village say, I don’t know, but I think people like you should be unable to do it yourself, so you think others can’t do it either. , To put it bluntly, it’s not good to see people, so jealous, I’m careful with pink eye.”
Seeing Chen Mian say that his daughter-in-law can endure, he will not be called Shen Huai, and he must refute it.
Chen Mian was so angry that she couldn’t speak, and the pink eye slapped her naked in the face, which completely revealed the purpose of the couple’s visit today, not what the pink eye was.
She feels that her face is on fire now, and she feels really ashamed, but after being exposed, she really can’t stay for a second, feeling that her disguised mask will not be torn apart alive by others.
Looking back, he gave Chen Mian and Shen Huai a vicious look, and threw a sentence at Chen Yuejin: “Okay, if that’s the case, then you can go to the city and enjoy your life, and don’t expect me to give you your retirement in the future.”
After speaking, the family of three walked away in despair, Chen Yuejin looked lonely for a moment, feeling like he was several years older.
Chen Yuan sighed. She didn’t know how to comfort her father, but it’s better not to have such an unfilial daughter, since she can’t count on it anyway.
Su Wanhua was most touched by this. When she saw Chen Mian like this, she also thought of her own children, and she was not filial, but Chen Yuejin was luckier than herself, at least his little daughter was filial.
And oneself is not filial.
Seeing that Chen Yuejin was very lonely, she comforted her: “Brother Chen, I don’t call you in-law anymore. You see, it’s better for you to have a daughter, but I can’t do it. None of the four children is good. They want me to go far away, not to cause them any trouble, or else I can’t go to Wucheng alone to join Shen Huai and the others, there is no way, you are luckier than me.”
When Chen Yuejin heard it, he didn’t know whether he was more unfortunate or Su Wanhua more unfortunate, but his third aunt was really strong, with so many unfilial children, and still able to live such an optimistic life.
After he sighed deeply, he began to comfort Su Wanhua instead. The two comforted each other, and the depressing atmosphere caused by Chen Mian’s stiffness dissipated a lot in an instant.
Chatting and chatting about Chen Yuejin, he felt that he was not the most miserable one, but Su Wanhua was the real miserable one.
During the meal, Shen Huai and Chen Yuan said solemnly: “Dad, what we said just now is serious, I feel that Xiaohe Village is really not suitable for the elderly, and Chen Mian and the people in the village are talking about it. There are many rumors about it, and it will definitely cause a lot of damage to your spirit, so please come with us and leave this place together, Wucheng is not as scary as you think, it is a very good city, after you go will love it.”
Chen Yuejin looked at the sincere invitation of his daughter and son-in-law, looked back at Su Wanhua’s encouraging eyes, lowered his head and sighed hesitantly.
He didn’t understand these truths, but it was too difficult to take this step.
It was really unaccustomed to let him leave the land where he had lived for decades.
And if you leave, it means that you will never be able to come back.
His land is no longer his, and his cattle can no longer be raised. This old house has memories of his life for decades. It is not so easy to decide for a while, because it is really reluctant.
When Chen Yuan saw her father suddenly looking out the window, she understood what concerns he had, and after thinking about it, she said, “If you can’t bear to take anything in the house, I can take it with you. After I go to Wucheng, I’ll buy it for you. Buy a few cows in Xindi, so that you will not be lonely, I believe that your daughter will live a happier life in the future, even if my mother is in the spirit of heaven, I also hope that you will live a better life in your later years, so that she can rest assured, do you think that is that?”
