Chapter 482: If you're not satisfied, you can move out!

"Right!" A buddy in the group named Zhao Hao said: "Auntie Li had such a serious illness and finally recovered. If we children raised by her don't go to see her immediately, she might feel disappointed."

Jiang Ming said: "How about this, let's find a five-star hotel and make sure to give Auntie Li a proper welcome."

Li Xiaofen said: "Jiang Ming, let's not be so extravagant. Auntie Li has been frugal all her life. If we go to such a nice place to eat, she will definitely feel bad. Why don't we go to that home-style restaurant at the entrance of the welfare institute that has been open for many years!"

When Ye Chen thought of that home-style restaurant that had been open for more than ten years, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

On his 18th birthday, Auntie Li had used her hard-earned money to take him and a few buddies to eat a meal at that restaurant.

She also bought him a cake. After celebrating his birthday, he no longer met the orphanage's adoption requirements, so he stepped into society alone.

Thinking about it now, that meal he ate there was the warmest one he had ever eaten in his life.

So he immediately said: "I really didn't expect that restaurant to still be open! The place Xiaofen chose is great! Let's meet there then!"

Jiang Ming replied: "I say Ye Chen, everyone has been working for so many years and has some savings. Facing Auntie Li, don't be so stingy, okay?"

Ye Chen said: "I'm not being stingy; I'm respecting Auntie Li's habits. If we invite Auntie Li to a five-star hotel, she might not really be happy, but instead might feel it's too extravagant and wasteful, and she'll feel bad for a long time."

Jiang Ming said: "Tch, don't I know you? Aren't you just trying to save a few bucks?"

As he spoke, Jiang Ming sent another voice message: "Ye Chen, I know you're not doing well. Being a live-in son-in-law, it's normal to have no money in your pocket. But Auntie Li raised you after all. With such great kindness, even if you bleed a little and pool money to treat her to a good meal, what can it do?"

Ye Chen couldn't help but frown.

This Jiang Ming hadn't gotten along with him back when they were at the welfare institute. At that time, Jiang Ming relied on being stronger than his peers, formed cliques at the welfare institute, and often bullied other children together.

Ye Chen had also been targeted by the other party, but because he had practiced some martial arts when he was at the Ye family in Jingcheng, ordinary people were no match for him at all. So when Jiang Ming brought people to cause trouble for him, the group was beaten by him until they were crying for their parents and losing their teeth.

From then on, the narrow-minded Jiang Ming held a grudge against Ye Chen, opposing him in everything and targeting him everywhere.

Moreover, this guy had always had a crooked mind and was always causing trouble for the welfare institute when he was a child.

He had been caught stealing outside several times, and in the end, it was always Auntie Li who stepped forward to pay money and apologize to save him.

Not having seen him for so many years, Ye Chen estimated that this person wasn't any better now.

However, Ye Chen was too lazy to lower himself to his level and said indifferently: "Say whatever you want, I still think the restaurant Xiaofen mentioned is the most appropriate."

Li Xiaofen also hurriedly said: "I think Brother Ye Chen makes sense. Auntie Li has been frugal all her life. If we invite her to a five-star hotel to eat, she definitely won't be used to it."

Childhood buddy Zhao Hao also echoed: "I support it too!"

Others also expressed their agreement, so Li Xiaofen said: "Okay, there are ten of us who can come tonight, and nine of us support going to the old restaurant, so the minority obeys the majority! I'll go book a private room at that restaurant now! You guys hurry over too!"

"Good, good, good!" Everyone echoed and happily agreed.

Thinking that he could see Auntie Li soon, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Ever since Old Mrs. Xiao had her birthday and he was scolded for borrowing money at the banquet, he hadn't seen Auntie Li again, because Auntie Li was sent directly to Jingcheng by Tang Sihai.

Ye Chen had a deep affection for Auntie Li, almost treating her as his own mother.

When Auntie Li first got sick, Ye Chen tried his best, looking for ways to get money everywhere, even secretly looking for blood sellers to sell blood, and took a lot of Xiao Churan's private money, all to keep Auntie Li alive.

If he hadn't tried his best to raise money for Auntie Li, Auntie Li probably wouldn't have waited for Tang Sihai to appear and might have already passed away.

However, Ye Chen felt that these were all things he should do. Even so, it was only one ten-thousandth of the kindness Auntie Li had shown him.

His father had taught him countless times before he died that a man in the world must know how to repay kindness. The ancients said that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring, and Ye Chen had always demanded this of himself.

So, he couldn't care less that the noodles for Ma Lan were still cooking in the pot. He took off his apron, walked out of the kitchen, and said to Xiao Churan, who was accompanying Ma Lan: "Wife, I have something urgent to do and need to go to the welfare institute!"

Ma Lan immediately questioned: "Have you cooked my noodles yet? I haven't eaten a single bite of food yet, and you want to go out?"

Ye Chen looked at her with disgust and said impatiently: "The noodles are cooking in the pot; you can scoop them out and eat them yourself later! Auntie Li has recovered and returned, and I'm going to welcome her."

Upon hearing this, Ma Lan immediately cursed angrily: "Ye, what kind of attitude is this, you bastard? For the sake of an old woman at the welfare institute, you dare to talk to me like this?! Do you still have the self-awareness of a live-in son-in-law? Don't look at whose food you eat, whose drink you drink, whose clothes you wear, and whose house you live in?"

As she spoke, Ma Lan mocked: "What does it have to do with you even if that old woman dies?"

Ye Chen had endured Ma Lan for a long time. He had thought that this mother-in-law would have some changes after staying inside for two days and suffering, but he didn't expect that she hadn't changed at all.

Furthermore, he didn't expect that she would dare to insult his benefactor, Auntie Li!

So he stared at Ma Lan and said angrily: "I eat my own food, drink my own drink, wear my own clothes, and live in my own house! Don't forget, this house was given to me by someone else, and the furniture inside was bought with money I earned from reading feng shui for others, so this is my attitude. If you're not satisfied, you can move out and go back to live in the old house!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Lan was so angry she couldn't speak!

She wanted to scold Ye Chen, but after thinking carefully, she found that what he said wasn't wrong at all.

It wasn't the past anymore. Before, he lived in her small house, not to mention living under someone else's roof, and he couldn't earn money, so she could scold him however she wanted.

Now he had made something of himself, someone gave him such an expensive villa, and even decorated it for him, and he could earn millions by reading feng shui for someone once.

Looking at herself, she was already penniless. If Ye Chen really turned against her and didn't let her live here, what would she do?

Thinking of this, Ma Lan felt guilty. Looking at Ye Chen's angry face, she was also a little nervous and scared.

However, she still tried to save the situation, so she immediately looked at Xiao Churan with grievance and choked up: "Churan, your husband is too much. Is there any son-in-law in the world who talks to his mother-in-law like this? You don't even discipline him. If this continues, won't he turn the world upside down?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Churan said very seriously: "Mom, I think Ye Chen is right. Now we are living in a villa given to him by someone else. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have the chance to live in such a good place, so you can't treat him like you did before. This is unfair!"
