Chapter 166: You Think You Can Treat the Chen Family as a Sucker?

After hearing the full story, Chen Jiefang issued a direct warning: "If this happens again, Chen Weiping, you and your wife will move out and live separately. From now on, you two families will take turns cooking—one day each. I don't care which of you, husband or wife, does the cooking."

It was clear he wouldn't allow Hu Liru to eat for free, do no work, and still cause trouble at home. If the family drove the eldest daughter-in-law back to her maiden home again, how could they possibly go on?

Miao Xiaohe was certain of this, which was why she threw a tantrum.

Seeing her father-in-law on her side, she no longer dared to act high and mighty. She handed the two children to her husband, Chen Weidong: "I'll go cook."

When the Liu Shangan couple arrived, the Chen family had just sat down, ready to eat.

The Liu Shangan couple knew that after today, their relationship with the Chen family would be over, so they had no intention of being polite with them: "You're eating. Looks like we arrived at just the right time."

Anyone could understand the meaning behind those words.

Seeing them, Chen Jiefang's expression immediately darkened: "What are you doing at my house?"

Liu Shangan ignored their attitude, sat directly in the seat that had belonged to Yan Qingshuang, and pointed to another empty seat: "Wife, you've walked a long way. Sit down, have a bite to eat, and then we'll talk. Otherwise, you won't have the strength."

The Chen family never expected this couple to be so shameless. Before the hosts had even said anything, they had already taken their places at the table.

But given their previous relationship, they truly couldn't bring themselves to tell them to get off the table.

What they didn't expect was that these two had even less shame. They picked up their chopsticks at the table and started eating, like starving ghosts reborn, nearly killing them with anger.

After they had eaten most of the food, Liu Shangan finally pretended to realize something: "Oh my, look at me. I was so hungry after that long walk. Sorry to make a spectacle of myself."

For the Chen family to believe those words would be a miracle.

Clearly, this couple had planned everything before arriving. Just look at how they wolfed down the food; it was truly disgusting to watch.

Chen Jiefang, his face grim, asked: "Speak. What do you want?"

After asking, he thought of something and signaled for the others to disperse first.

The meal had been prepared by headcount. With this couple having eaten most of it, only scraps remained. They had lost their appetite and left the table together, wearing expressions of disgust.

Once they were gone, Chen Jiefang's face grew even darker than before: "Speak."

Liu Shangan also prepared to be polite with him: "Because I helped you, not only did I turn my brother into an enemy, but I also completely offended my wife's maiden family. I even had my wife's nephew sent away. My home was smashed to pieces by my in-laws. Today, my son's leg was broken because of this matter, and he is still staying at the commune clinic."

Chen Jiefang wasn't a fool: "You've said so much nonsense. Shouldn't you get to your point?"

Liu Shangan didn't want to waste time with him either. After all, if the Ge family didn't get the money tonight, they would likely come to the clinic first thing tomorrow morning: "Although it was my wife who sought benefits in the beginning, it was your wife, Yan Qingshuang, who approached us first. If we weren't backed into a corner, we wouldn't have come knocking on your door."

"When the Ge family came to our door, it took village cadres to settle things. We agreed on three hundred yuan to end it. My family was robbed before; everything was stolen, leaving nothing. We truly cannot come up with that money. Now my son is in the hospital, so the final price is five hundred yuan. I won't come knocking again."

As soon as the couple entered, Chen Jiefang had guessed they were there for money: "You think you can treat the Chen family as a sucker?"
