Chapter 711: Chen Weiping, You Bastard

~4 min read 722 words

As Chen Weidong was about to go clean that wooden chamber pot, Chen Jiefang walked in: "Weidong, go call your second uncle in a bit and tell him to come back tomorrow."

Chen Weidong didn't know what his own father meant, but seeing his stern face, he didn't dare ask much: "Understood."

After speaking, he took away the stool with the hole, carried the wooden chamber pot out of the room, washed and scrubbed it, then carried it back in, only then closing the window he had opened earlier: "Dad, I'll go make the call now."

After he left the room, Chen Jiefang sat opposite the old man: "Dad, I met the second daughter of the Old Liu family today. She was actually driving a jeep. I've been thinking, maybe we should do as you said before."

The old Chen man had only suffered a stroke; his mind was not impaired. Hearing his eldest son speak thus, he became very agitated, constantly making 'ao ao ao' sounds.

Seeing the light return to the old man's eyes, one knew this pleased him as he had wished before.

Before, the old man had insisted on continuing this marriage alliance; both he and his second brother were somewhat unwilling, but unable to go against the old man, they had put forward Weizhong from the second brother's family.

However, after the second sister-in-law found out, she absolutely would not agree, so the matter was put aside.

Though the old man was furious, he could not speak now, so he could only fret helplessly.

Chen Weidong arrived at the front courtyard and reported to his own wife: "I'm going out to make a phone call; I'll be back in a bit."

Hearing this, Miao Xiaohe rushed to the kitchen doorway: "The meal will be ready soon; you'd better hurry."

Chen Weidong did not stop his steps, saying as he walked out: "I'll be back very soon."

By this time the post office had already closed; if he wanted to make a call now, he had to return to his workplace, the Water Conservancy Bureau.

Only what he did not expect was that he saw his own younger brother pulling and tugging with a woman there, and a surge of anger arose in his heart.

Just as he was about to open his mouth and scold angrily, he heard that woman say: "I am telling the truth. I have seen them dating behind your back more than once."

Chen Weiping was very angry: "Wang Hongmei, how many times have I told you? I do not like you. Please do not slander my wife. If you say such things again, don't blame me for turning on you."

The woman called Wang Hongmei also became angry: "Chen Weiping, I have said all I will say. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

After speaking, she turned around, her face stern, and strode away in large steps.

Though these words did not name anyone specifically, Chen Weidong understood clearly.

However, he did not step forward, for if this matter were true, Weiping certainly would not want anyone to know.

Seeing his own younger brother standing there motionless, he could only turn back a distance and take another road.

After he finished his call and returned home, he heard a quarrel inside the second brother's room: "Chen Weiping, you bastard."

After that, Hu Liru let out an "Ah!"

This frightened Chen Yishan and Chen Yihu, who were playing at the kitchen doorway, greatly.

Miao Xiaohe didn't even bother to put down her spoon; she embraced her two daughters: "It's nothing, it's nothing. Pat the fur, you won't be scared."

Chen Jiefang, startled by that scream, also ran to the front courtyard: "What happened?"

Chen Weidong looked toward the second brother's room: "I just came back from making a call; I don't know what happened."

Father and son both looked at Miao Xiaohe.

Seeing her two daughters were fine, Miao Xiaohe stood up: "Weiping just came back with a very bad expression. Not long after he entered the room, they started quarreling, but I truly do not know what they were quarreling about."

Chen Weidong did know, but he could not be the one to say it; if it were a misunderstanding, Weiping would hold a grudge against him later.
