Chapter 114 - 113: Belong to This Family (For Dreamy Little Dream, Moon and His Bi+)
Chapter 114: Chapter 113: Belong to This Family (For Dreamy Little Dream, Moon and His Bi+)Upon seeing the goods laid out on the bed, Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye exclaimed about the unnecessary extravagance. Such valuable gifts must have cost a fortune.
Their joy was interrupted by the sound of crying. It was Chen Aju. She was upset that she hadn’t received a gift when everyone else had, and stomped her feet in a tantrum.
Mrs. Hu was also furious, thumping her chest and complaining, "Even if I offend someone with my words, I have served my mother-in-law, husband and my brother-in-law faithfully all these years. How can you treat me like this? I am the woman of this house. Respect should be the least I deserve. This is not about the gifts, but about treating me as a member of this family..."
Mrs. Hu was clever in her way. She did not show any aggression in front of Chen Ye, but instead pushed him forward to cop the blame. The last time she demanded satin in front of him was because Chen Aju had disturbed her, causing her to do something rash.
At Aju’s tears, Chen Ye was both angry and embarrassed, clenching his fists and cursing, "How can a grown-up like you cry over trivial things? I can’t believe I fathered such a girl who lacks gumption. Shut up! If you cry one more time, I’ll beat you with my shoe." He then cursed Mrs. Hu, "If it weren’t for your misbehavior and wrongdoings, people would not treat you like this."
Mrs. Wang hurriedly interjected, "Sister-in-law, don’t be so hard on yourself. I brought something for you too." She bent down to
Seeing the door closed, Mrs. Wang and Afu knew they were being excluded. Mrs. Wang looked at Chen Afu with surprise, and Chen Afu felt very uncomfortable.
She had established her own household already, but now they wanted to rope her back in because they knew she was savvy and could earn money? Or maybe they were afraid that she would find out she wasn’t really a member of the Chen family and take back what was hers? Or perhaps they were advising Chen Ming to bring her back to the Chen family and firmly control her?
Chen Shi was right. Chen Ye was indeed a good head of the family as he always sought to protect his family’s interests. Whenever the interests of his own family clashed with that of others, he would always side with his own smaller family. If the interests of the Chen family were in conflict with outsiders, he would side with the Chen family. This was understandable as everyone has their own selfish interests. But some thoughts were unnecessary and could be offensive, assuming others were oblivious to what was happening.
Chen Ye was too narrow-minded for a man, and lacked the magnanimous spirit. Despite being shrewd and industrious, he could only scrape out a living from the Earth.
After Mrs. Wang and Chen Afu cleaned up, they went to the East room, where Dabao and Alu were having fun with Zhui Feng on the bed.
Mrs. Wang pulled Afu closer and said, "Afu, believe in your father. He would never entertain those thoughts."
