Protagonist:

Chai Mi

The world is just a giant shoddy troupe; Old Chai Family's drama is all caused by Chai Zhongxiao.

Although he hasn't done anything too outrageous, his words and deeds and temper directly turned this not-so-harmonious home into a complete mess.

Chai Zhongxiao seems to have several transparent labels stuck to him: currying favor with the powerful, looking down on everyone, and pretending to be benevolent.

Once when Chai Mi was watching the movie Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots, she wanted to tear off the fake righteousness carved on Old Guo's back in the robbery scene and stick it on Chai Zhongxiao's forehead.

Chai Zhongxiao is exactly such a person.

Chai Mi knew that if it were anything else, given Chai Zhongxiao's fondness for Chai You De plus his meager savings, he couldn't repay the money, but if it involved holding a full-moon banquet for his younger sister and Chai Zhongxiao, as a good son-in-law, giving gift money when returning home, then Chai Zhongxiao would repay it no matter what.

He couldn't possibly hold such a shabby full-moon banquet that his son-in-law's family would look down on him, right?

Hearing Chai Zhongxiao say this, Chai Youqing remembered the few words Chai Mi had quietly reminded him of before leaving, and he looked troubled, biting his lower lip, looking utterly indecisive.

Chai Zhongxiao also frowned tightly.

And Wang Huirong, hearing that her precious daughter was coming home... her mood instantly swept away the gloom from just now, becoming sunny and energetic... even unconsciously smiling.

As a result...

As a result, she strained her beaten face, covering her mouth in pain, hissing and sighing nonstop.

As for Chai You De, he didn't care.

Chai You De had an attitude of minding his own business: do whatever you want, in my own home my status is lower than a dog, I have no money, what does it have to do with you whether you have money or not, I'm starving myself, that's my own ability, if you have the ability go ask my wife Che Lianyun, see if she gives it or not!!!

Chai You Fu stayed silent; he had just bragged, and was instantly slapped in the face by Chai Youqing, now wondering how to go home and explain to the tigress Song Qiuping?

Could he explain to Song Qiuping: Oh wife, look how excellent I am? I alone covered all of Cun Ma's medical expenses? Come praise me...

Praise, probably impossible.

Getting beaten up is more like it...

Chai You Fu rubbed his face, feeling his left cheek was thicker-skinned... yeah, he had gained some weight recently, so when Song Qiuping slapped him a few times, no one should notice.

Chai Youqing pretended to be deep for dozens of seconds, finally answering Chai Zhongxiao according to Chai Mi: "Dad, mainly the time is tight. I still have to go pick up my wife this half day, then I'll need to buy groceries and find laomangren..."

(Hardworking, this character is read with the fourth tone, but there's no accurate character. Hardworking is essentially different from helping out; this term is only for weddings and funerals, mostly appearing in happy occasions, because for funerals they find coffin-bearers, and at that time there's no question of helping or not, since they must go, mostly relatives and friends. For happy occasions, people need to be hired in advance, from buying wine and dishes to serving the table, all requiring Hardworking people, no money given, only meals. As for other forms, it's hired help, which is another matter entirely.)

"Inside and outside here, everything will cost money. I have nothing on hand; my wife spent it all on hospitalization these past few days. I'm afraid that by the time the money arrives, the wine and dishes will be watery and shoddy, which wouldn't be good..."
