Siheyuan: Classic Siheyuan

The principal wife of the Chen family.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Zhao Yanmin, cleared the table.

Chen Xingguo held the tea.

"Second uncle, have some tea!"

Lou Zhenxing nodded, then looked at Wang Lanxiang: "We haven't seen each other for many years. You two went to the south back then, and we haven't seen each other since."

He glanced at Chen Gong, who hadn't said much, and smiled, "Second brother-in-law, I heard that you've become the deputy factory director?"

Chen Gong nodded. In terms of background, he was certainly not as prominent as Lou Zhenxing, a capitalist before liberation, although it was a new society now.

But in the eyes of ordinary people in Beijing, people like Lou Zhenxing and Wang Lanxiang, several generations ago, all have strong backgrounds and wealthy families. They are the truly powerful ones.

Fan Changhong did not leave either. Before liberation, he worked in accounting in Lou Zhenhua's factory and was taken care of by Lou Zhenhua at that time.

"Boss Lou..."

"Hey, Changhong, please don't call me that. This is the new China and the new society. I'm not a boss anymore. I'm just an ordinary person like you."

Seeing him say that, Fan Changhong smiled and nodded: "Well, then I'll call you Second Brother, okay?"

"Okay, haha!"

Lou Zhenxing was a kind person. In the old society, his character was impeccable.

Wang Lanxiang's family and the Lou's family were old friends, so Wang Lanxiang and Lou Zhenxing called him "Second Brother", but Chen Gong never called him that.

Wang Lanxiang chatted with Lou Zhenxing for a while, and Chen Gong looked at the time: "Well... I have to go to work later. Brother Zhenxing, why are you here?"

"Brother-in-law, I came here to ask you about someone."

"Who?"

Lou Zhenxing said: "Chu Rongguang."

Hearing that he was here to look for Chu Rongguang, Wang Lanxiang didn't even have time to say anything when Chen Gong slammed the table and frowned at Wang Lanxiang: "Look, look, your good son... now he's here to find you!"

Wang Lanxiang was also stunned: "Second brother, why are you asking him?"

After hearing Chen Gong say that he was his son, Lou Zhenxing hurriedly asked, "So, Chu Rongguang is really your son?"

"Yes, it's our family's fourth son... Brother Zhenxing, no matter what bad things he did, our Chen family will be responsible!"

Although Chen Gong said so, his gritting teeth made Lou Zhenxing stunned.

"Second brother, Rong Guang...did he cause you any trouble?"

Wang Lanxiang asked anxiously.

"Hahaha……"

At this moment, Lou Zhenxing burst into laughter: "What are you two doing? Who said Chu Rongguang got into trouble?"

"Ah? Then, then you come?" Wang Lanxiang asked.

"I came to thank him!"

"grateful?"

Chen Gong also looked at Wang Lanxiang in confusion, only to see the latter ask: "Second brother, you said you came to thank me, what's going on?"

Lou Zhenxing told the Chen family about Chu Rongguang's visit to their home that night and how he rescued his elder brother Lou Jianguo.

After listening, Wang Lanxiang smiled and said, "So that's what happened. No wonder he came back so late that night!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Gong and saw that his face was extremely ugly. Wang Lanxiang knew that this father of his almost drove his son away because Chu Rongguang came back late that night. She hurriedly whispered: "Old Chen, you heard it...it turns out that our son went to do good things. You, don't blame him, okay?"

"Humph!"

Chen Gong thought for a moment and snorted coldly: "How can I blame him? He does good things without leaving his name, but... why didn't he say it at the time?"

Thinking of this, Chen Gong's expression, which had just been about to soften, suddenly darkened again: "What does he mean? If he said that, would I still do that? He is deliberately targeting me and wants to challenge me in front of everyone!"

Wang Lanxiang was also stunned when she heard him say that, and didn't know what to say.

"Hey, Lanxiang, where's Chu Rongguang? Where's your fourth child?"

Seeing Lou Zhenxing asking, Wang Lanxiang glanced at Chen Xingliang and said, "Old Five, where is your fourth brother?"

"He had a bite to eat this morning and then went out."

Chen Li actually knew that Chu Rongguang went to buy a train ticket for Yu Zhendong.

"My son is very wild now. He just came from the countryside and has no rules. Brother Zhenxing, please don't laugh at him."

Chen Gong's words made Lou Zhenxing wave his hand and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, your son is not unruly. My eldest brother told me that he is a big shot. Let me put it this way... If it weren't for Chu Rongguang, my eldest brother would have lost his life."

"what!"

The more Chen Gong listened, the less he liked it. He really looked down upon this son, and he also had nothing to talk about with Lou Zhenxing.

"Brother Zhenxing, since he is not at home, I still have to go to work. How about this, I will let him come to find you when he comes back."

Lou Zhenxing couldn't stay any longer after hearing what Chen Gong said. He smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Chu Rongguang has done a favor to our Lou family. How can we let him go to me? I will come back in the evening."

Chen Gong and his family saw Lou Zhenxing off. Fan Changhong shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, I didn't expect that your fourth child could make Boss Lou come to visit him personally. This... How great a favor does this require?"

Hearing Fan Changhong's praise for Chu Rongguang, Chen Gong's face became even uglier. He put his hands behind his back and walked back into the house stubbornly.

Wang Lanxiang and her two daughters followed into the house, but Chen Gong slammed the table and said, "How could I have given birth to such an unfilial son!"

Seeing this, Chen Xingguo hurried forward and handed the tea to Chen Gong: "Dad, don't be angry."

"Yes, Lao Chen, your son has done a good thing. Why are you still not satisfied?"

"satisfy?"

Chen Gong turned his head and glared at Wang Lanxiang: "Does he take me as his father seriously? He didn't even tell me about such a big thing. Do you think he still has me as his father?!"

"That's right, Mom. What my dad said was not wrong. It was right for the fourth child to save people, but why didn't he tell others about it when he came back that day? He even made my dad so angry. It seems like he did it on purpose!"

Zhao Yanmin poked Chen Xingguo from behind, but Chen Xingguo glanced at his wife and said, "Why did you poke me? If I, as his brother, don't say anything, he will definitely think that he is doing the right thing."

Chen Gong sulked and said, "Alright, let's not let him delay everyone's work. Let's go to work first. As for him... Humph!"

This cold snort seemed to have explained Chen Gong's attitude towards Chu Rongguang.

Chen Gong had just left the hospital with his eldest son when a neighbor greeted him, "Deputy Director Chen... I heard that your fourth son saved the police, right? He's really great!"

"I call my father a hero and my son a hero!"

"How is the general?"

Chen Gong could only force out a slight sneer when listening to these words of praise, but his expression became even uglier.

Every word of praise for Chu Rongguang felt like a slap in the face of Chen Gong, which was extremely uncomfortable.

The more Chen Gong thought about it, the more he thought that his son didn't tell him about this matter on purpose to embarrass him.

At this moment, the anger in Chen Gong's heart was like gunpowder that was about to explode. It only needed a spark to explode.
