Siheyuan: Classic Siheyuan

After they turned the corner and walked through the alley, Chu Rongguang said, "Hurry up and pack up. Don't go back and let your parents see you like this."

Chen Li quickly wiped away her tears, but her voice was still choked as she said, "Fourth brother, thank you. I really don't know how to thank you. You really helped me so much."

Chu Rongguang said disapprovingly: "We are a family, no need to be so polite, just study hard."

Chen Li seemed to have thought of something again. "By the way, Fourth Brother, didn't you save Officer Lou? Officer Lou's younger brother came to thank you today."

"Dad may have already known that he wronged you last night. When Mom went out today, she said that she would buy something nutritious and make you something delicious in the evening."

Chu Rongguang didn't care what his old father, who liked to show off and act pretentiously in front of his children, thought.

Chu Rongguang sighed and said, "You know our father's personality. It's hard to change a person's nature, and a dog can't change its eating habits..."

Chen Li burst out laughing, "Fourth brother, you are really amazing. You actually compared our dad to a dog. But, that's just how dad is when he gets old."

Chen Li also doesn't like her father's style, but her father loves her very much. Isn't this a contradiction?

Chu Rongguang nodded and said, "I know, so I don't bother to pay attention to him, and I don't like to see his expression."

Chu Rongguang thought of his father's love of oppressing his children. Isn't this the case in most Chinese father-son relationships?

But he couldn't stand this. After all, he still needed money to stand up straight. He had to go back and ask about work again.

.........

The brother and sister were delayed outside, so when they returned home, the whole family was there.

"mom."

"Sister-in-law!"

"Big brother."

After Chu Rongguang came back, he greeted Wang Xianglan and Zhao Yanmin.

"Hey, your dad and your brother are here too. Go talk to them. The food will be ready soon." While Wang Xianglan was busy cooking, she observed her husband who was playing chess with his eldest son.

Chen Gong has been holding this anger in his heart for the whole day.

Chen Gong has lived to this age and has traveled all over the country for many years. He has seen everything, but in the end he fell into trouble because of his own son.

Before Chu Rongguang could say anything, Chen Gong said sarcastically, "I'm not that lucky. Some people don't even take me seriously. They treat me as if I don't exist. They treat me as if my father is dead, right?"

"Since everyone thought I was dead, why did you come back?"

"If you are so capable, why don't you live outside? Why do you come back here? It's so unfair."

"I've been in the countryside for a few days, but I'm still so ignorant."

"It's only been a few days since we got here, and you've already taken Lao Wu out to play. Maybe he won't be coming back tomorrow."

"It's up to you how to behave yourself, but don't lead the Chen family astray."

Chen Gong is a man who can bully people to death whenever he opens his mouth. He always speaks from the bottom of their hearts and says all kinds of nasty things.

Ever since Chen Gong stopped talking about how invincible he was, he died of shame and anger, as if he had never been able to vent all the anger in his heart.

The last sentence shows that he doesn't consider Chu Rongguang as a member of this family at all.

Chen Li quickly tried to smooth things over, "Dad, I just had some problems on the road. It has nothing to do with my second brother today."

Who would have thought that after Chen Li spoke, Chen Gong felt that his face had fallen, and he was furious and said: "What do you want to do now? You have a bright future, don't be like him, unable to even find a job. Do you want to be like him? Are you wild?"

"If you don't want to study anymore, tell me in advance, so that I don't have to spend money to support you, which is a waste of my money and your time. You can't just set a good example for your brothers and sisters."

"It takes so long to pick you up from school. If you don't want to come back to this house, just tell me as soon as possible."

"Our Chen family doesn't need someone like you."

Chu Rongguang said indifferently: "You want to kill someone with one blow without distinguishing right from wrong. Aren't you practicing dictatorship? How many years has the Qing Dynasty been gone?"

"You still want to play the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues? The husband is the bond of the wife, the father is the bond of the son? And the head of the family? Do you know that this is a new society, an era of equality for all?"

"You are like a feudal landlord. Who do you think you are? You are not satisfied until this family follows your wishes and listens to your arrangements, right?"

"Aren't we all human? Are we all your vassals? We all think so. We have tolerated you for a long time. You should stop now."

After Chu Rongguang finished saying these words, the room was silent for ten seconds.

Everyone in the Chen family was nervous and held their breath. How dare Chu Rongguang speak like that?

Although they were all thinking about what Chu Rongguang said, who would dare to say anything when Chen Gong had the final say and was willing to kick people out if they disagreed?

Chen Gong felt an unprecedented embarrassment. Doesn't this mean that his previous status as the head of the family is like a joke?

"Fourth brother, apologize to our dad quickly, fourth brother!" The eldest brother Chen Xingguo broke the silence.

"Fourth son, mom is begging you, just apologize to your dad." Wang Lanxiang was also panicked. She didn't expect that her fourth son would be so stubborn and insisted on going against his father.

And Old Chen in their family is not someone to be trifled with.

The two younger ones, Chen Li and Chen Xingliang, were also really scared. In their impression, their father's authority was irrefutable.

"I... I don't have this son. If the son is not well educated it is the father's fault. It's a sin, a sin, a sin." Chen Gong gasped heavily, pointing at Chu Rongguang with trembling fingers.

"I don't want a father who doesn't even know how to respect others and has feudal ideas of dictatorship and self-centeredness." Chu Rongguang could no longer tolerate it.

Who are these people?

Why is this old man so stubborn?

This family can tolerate it, but for Chu Rongguang, a modern man, he can't stand such strict and high-pressure family rules.

"Xingliang, take your fourth brother to your sister's house and hide there until your father has calmed down. You two are father and son, and you are trying to kill me by saying these things." Wang Lanxiang said.

"Fourth brother, let's go. I'll take you to my sister's house for two days." Chen Xingliang had no choice but to say.

"No need, I'll just leave. I can't stand the high rules of your wealthy family. You make me feel like a nobody." Chu Rongguang snorted coldly.

Having said that, he ran out.
