Siheyuan: Classic Siheyuan

"Take it away quickly, kid, what are you doing? Your father and I didn't take much care of you when you were a child. Now that you come back, you want to pay for our food. Do you want to embarrass us to death?" Wang Lanxiang said anxiously.

Chen Gong was very dissatisfied and said, "He doesn't even treat me as his father. He doesn't even listen to me when I discipline him. He doesn't follow the rules of our Chen family. Why should I take care of his food and drink? Since he has given it to me, why don't you take it?"

Wang Lanxiang said dissatisfiedly: "Have you ever taken care of his food and drink before? You just came back and you are so disciplined. I also get a salary in this family, so I let him eat my food and I provide for him."

Chen Gong was so angry that he quickly took two bites of his rice and immediately gave up. "Go ahead and spoil him. If he gets into any trouble outside in the future, I can tell you that I won't care about him."

"But some people have to keep their word. The food expenses still need to be paid. I believe some people are not so shameless as to refuse to pay."

Having said that, Chen Gong left in anger.

Chen Gong did not dare to go out to the yard, and just stayed in the house pretending to read.

Chen Xingguo and his wife, as well as Chen Li and Chen Xingliang, all realized that their nanny really doted on the fourth child and dared to argue with their father.

While eating, Wang Lanxiang kept putting the delicious food into Chu Rongguang's bowl.

.........

After finishing dinner, Zhao Yanmin took the initiative to help Wang Lanxiang clean up the dishes, "Mom, let me do the dishes."

"No need, I'll do it. You've worked hard all day." Wang Lanxiang said.

"Mom, let me help you. You've been working all day and it's not easy." Chu Rongguang said.

"How can you, a grown man, do all this? Aren't you asked to go to the street to get a certificate and report to the steel mill tomorrow? Go and prepare well now." Wang Lanxiang reminded.

"You can keep the money yourself. If you don't have enough, ask me for more. When you start working, you can keep your salary yourself or leave it with me. When you get married, I will give the money to your wife to manage."

"You two can arrange it yourselves, just like your eldest brother and sister-in-law." Wang Lanxiang said.

This made Zhao Yanmin feel embarrassed. Since the couple got married, she and her mother-in-law Wang Lanxiang have never had a quarrel.

Not only did Wang Lanxiang not ask them to pay for food, the couple kept their wages for themselves. She also washed their clothes and rarely let her do housework.

This was also why she could tolerate Chen Gong's rules as a eunuch.

However, I have always thought about moving out and living as a couple.

"Don't worry, your father and I both have salaries. When the fifth child goes to college, he will also receive subsidies. Only Xingliang will go to school. Your father and I can save some money."

"Not everyone can stand the way your dad is. Look, your dad and I are both in our prime. There's no need for us to tie you down." Wang Lanxiang said as she was busy cleaning up the dishes.

Chen Gong came out of the house at some point and stood aside with a gloomy face.

As soon as Chen Gong came out, the atmosphere in the room instantly became depressing.

Wang Lanxiang said dissatisfiedly: "You are still strong and powerful now, don't think about tying them all here?"

Chen Li tried to smooth things over, "Dad, Mom, don't worry. I will study hard, and when I have a promising future, I will honor you and provide for your retirement."

"That's why I say my daughter is so thoughtful. It's not in vain that I love you so much." Wang Lanxiang nodded and said.

"Mom, it's time to pay attention to our fourth child. He's not a child anymore and his job is in steel rolling. With these conditions and his appearance, we have to be careful with the selection." Zhao Yanmin joked.

Chu Rongguang was unhappy and said, "I'm only twenty, why am I in such a hurry to find a wife?"

Wang Lanxiang smiled and said, "It is an old rule that men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. Now that you are married and have your own place to move out, you don't have to worry about your father's face at home. Look at your father..."

Chen Xingguo felt helpless as he listened to his father's words.

They had been planning to move out before they got married, but after such a long time they still haven't bought a house. They have been thinking about submitting a report these days, but they didn't expect that their father would say tonight that the eldest son should take over the family business.

If I move away like this, will my father agree?

Thinking of this, Chen Xingguo felt a little embarrassed.

After Chu Rongguang returned to the house, he lay on the bed, thinking that when he got a job and was allocated a house, he would move out as soon as possible.

With his old father's condition, if he were to continue living with him, he would be suppressed to death.

Chen Xingliang had just finished his homework when he saw his fourth brother lying on the bed. He didn't know what he was thinking about. Chen Xingliang came over and said, "Fourth brother, you were so awesome tonight. This is the first time I've seen our dad suffer. Don't think too much. Mom is protecting you."

"If you ask me, we should eat his food and drink his drinks. After all, he is our father, so he should support us."

"You just came back and you don't have a job yet. How can our dad talk to you like that? Even if he's angry, he can't do that."

Chen Li also agreed, "That's right, but luckily you still have your mother to protect you. Mom really loves you. When you were in the countryside, Mom kept talking about you and even sent people to bring you things."

"I know our mom is good to me, I know that, don't worry, I just can't stand dad's way of being." Chu Rongguang sighed.

"We have actually wanted to tell Dad this for a long time, but who dared to say it? Now that you say it, Dad will be upset, but our whole family will be relieved. This is called sacrificing him for the sake of our whole family." Chen Xingliang said jokingly.

Chu Rongguang chatted with his younger brothers and sisters in a random manner.

They have indeed suffered from this old man for a long time, but what can they do?

Now that someone has finally risen up, life will be better from now on.

If it weren’t for Chu Rongguang, who knows how long the people in this family would have to endure it.

Then I washed my face and feet before going to bed.

But he didn't sleep very well that night.

Chen Li didn't sleep well that night as she had her own worries.

Chu Rongguang was thinking about moving out of this house.

Chen Li was thinking about Yu Zhendong's affairs. After this separation, she didn't know when she would see her lover again.

In the middle of the night, the brother and sister looked at each other across Chen Xingliang. Just by looking at each other, Chu Rongguang knew what Chen Li was thinking.

Chu Rongguang then remembered that Yu Zhendong had handed him a letter today and asked him to take it to his uncle.

Chu Rongguang will have to deliver this letter to his uncle later.
