Chapter 224 The two elders of the Chen family came to visit
Chen Laoer was eating a cake, squatting in the yard, holding a branch and practicing writing on the ground. He had been doing this for the past few days. Whenever he had free time, he would write. After practicing the strokes, he found that his handwriting looked much better.
I have to sigh in my heart, the method taught by the young master is still effective! No wonder the young master is so good at studying.
Chen Laoer's wife was very happy to see that her husband was studying so hard and had made great progress. "Dad, I see that your handwriting is much better than before!"
"Yes! The method taught by the young master is not difficult to understand. Look, even Xiaobao can learn it." He pointed to his own name written crookedly by his son next to him.
"Oh my! My little treasure can even write his name!" Chen Laoer's wife happily hugged her son and kissed him, "Son, let's study hard. Once you've learned well, we can ask the young master and his wife for a job."
Inside the house, the family of three was enjoying themselves, but they didn't know that outside the door, their troubles were about to come. The warm atmosphere was soon broken by a knock on the door.
Bang bang bang... bang bang bang...
The knocking on the door seemed irregular and hasty, making Mr. and Mrs. Chen wonder who was knocking on the door so urgently.
Their first feeling was not that their master was coming. Based on their impression of the two masters, they were both very calm people and did not seem like the kind of people who would panic when faced with something. They should not have knocked on the door so urgently.
The people outside seemed impatient and banged on the door several times. Thinking someone was in a hurry, they didn't dare to delay and quickly quickened their pace.
However, when they pushed open the door, they saw someone they didn't expect, and they were stunned.
"What's going on? Even opening the door is so slow." The old lady in the lead had a mean look on her face. As soon as she met Chen Laoer and his wife, she looked at them with disdain and didn't say a single nice word.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen thought they had seen it wrong, but when they heard the familiar voice, they subconsciously felt a little scared. This was a conditioned reflex caused by years of suppression by the other party.
"Dad, Mom, Fourth Brother, Sister-in-law, why are you here?" The people who came were not others but Chen Laoer's father, mother, and his brother and his wife.
Old Lady Chen frowned and said in a bad tone, "Humph! If we hadn't come, we wouldn't have known that you guys have become rich and are living in this big house and enjoying life!"
Old Man Chen continued to scold, "Second brother, what's wrong with you? You left the village without going back to visit your family and help with some work. You made a living outside but didn't even send a message home. This is really outrageous."
"That's right, second brother and second sister-in-law, you have a good life now, and you have forgotten the kindness of your parents. You live in such a big house, but you don't even think about inviting your parents over to enjoy the good life." Chen Laosi's wife fanned the flames, "I am also a brother's sister-in-law, and it's okay if you look down on me, but your parents are your elders after all. You don't even remember your parents, which is too unfilial."
"No, Dad and Mom, we are just working for the master in this house. We cannot make the decisions." Chen Laoer explained.
I really don't know how they found this place. Seeing that they all carried bags, I knew it was not an accidental encounter, but they came here prepared.
"Second brother, let's not talk about anything else. Our parents have come here from far away, you should at least let them in first! We, as sons, should know how to be filial. Our parents are so old, and they have walked all day and finally got here. Can you bear to let them stand outside the door?" Chen Laosi claimed to be a scholar, and he put himself in a very high position. He stood on the moral high ground to accuse Chen Laoer.
They had traveled all day yesterday, stayed one night at his wife's parents' home, and came into the city early this morning.
Chen Laosi's wife went on to say, "We have all heard that your family is the only one living in this house, and the owner of the house doesn't live here on weekdays. It's such a big house, and the owner is not here, so what's wrong with letting your parents live in for a few days and enjoy themselves?"
Chen Laosi and his wife's singing the same tune aroused the anger of the two elders of the Chen family. Chen Laoniang pointed at Chen Laoer's nose and cursed: "I really gave birth to you in vain. I raised you for so many years, but you turned out to be an ungrateful person. I should have just drowned you in the urinal."
Chen Laoer was scolded so hard that he dared not refute. The most courageous thing he had done in his life was to forcefully demand a division of the family, even if it meant leaving the house with nothing.
But even though they had separated and lived on their own a long time ago, every time they faced their old mother, the fear deep in their bones would arise unconsciously.
After Mrs. Chen finished her scolding, Father Chen jumped out and acted like a good guy, "Come on, old woman, stop talking. What's the point of standing at the door and making a fuss? The second son and his wife finally got a good job. Let's not let them ruin it."
Then, he said to Chen Laoer, "Laoer, you two shouldn't be blocking the door. Let's go in first."
"That's right, second brother, please at least let parents go in to have some water first. If you have any problems, go in first. There are so many people coming and going on this street, it will be embarrassing for others to see." Chen Laosi's wife said. As long as they were allowed in, it would be up to them to decide whether to come out or not.
Chen Laoer looked at the street and saw that someone was indeed pointing at them. He couldn't help but feel undecided.
Seeing that Chen Lao Er seemed to be a little loose, Chen Lao Si took advantage of his stunned moment to push him away, and helped his mother to walk inside, "Mom, let's go, let's go in!"
Unexpectedly, before they even reached the doorstep, Chen Laoer's wife got the courage from nowhere and opened her arms to stop them, "No, you can't go in."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the cheek. It was burning with pain. Tears welled up in his eyes immediately, and a clearly visible palm mark appeared on half of his face.
Old Lady Chen cursed sarcastically, "Xu, who the hell are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"
Chen Laoer didn't expect his mother to hit someone just because of a disagreement, so he quickly stood in front of his wife to protect her, "Mom, what are you doing?"
However, he could not escape being beaten and was also slapped by his mother.
"You are such an ungrateful person, you only know how to protect this bitch. You even dared to yell at your mother for her, right?"
As she spoke, she wanted to hit someone again, but Chen Laoer just stood there firmly. As long as he didn't hit his wife, it didn't matter if he got hit a few more times, he had thick skin anyway.
Just as Old Lady Chen was about to drop her raised hand, a cold rebuke came from behind her.
"stop."
