Chapter 166 Chen Le Returns!
"Our Chen family doesn't have such a scourge!"
"And now we all listen to our eldest brother. We'll support him with just one word!" Chen Meiling said, arms crossed.
She glared at him, as if someone owed her millions.
"We'll all listen to our eldest brother's opinion!"
"Big brother, you decide what to do. After all, you're the head of the family now, the eldest son of the Chen family!"
"Yes, yes, you are the hero who built the ancestral hall for our Chen family and rewrote the family genealogy! We will all listen to our eldest brother!"
"If Second Brother insists on being with his gambler son, then they might as well both leave the Chen family genealogy!"
"All the property and land left behind by the old man must be returned!"
The fourth son of the Chen family, a middle-aged man wearing glasses, pushed up his glasses and said very seriously.
Chen Baisen narrowed his eyes and sneered.
"Since everyone approves of me, then I will uphold justice in this matter!"
"Chen Le gambled away his money and racked up a huge debt, bringing shame to the Chen family!"
"I hereby declare that, starting today, he is expelled from the Chen family. From this day forward, Chen Le is no longer a member of the Chen family!!"
Chen Bolin's face was ashen, and his body was trembling violently.
A flicker of struggle and resentment flashed in his eyes, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, the rebuttals he had prepared got stuck in his throat.
He looked around at his relatives, whose expressions varied—some contemptuous, some gloating—but not a single person stood up to speak for him!
Chen Baisen's gaze was sharp as he locked onto the silent Chen Bailin, his cold voice piercing through the noise in the room: "Second brother, are you sure you still want to insist on protecting that good-for-nothing son?"
"If you insist, I can announce right now that you and your family will be expelled from the family!"
"The property and land that the old man left you must also be returned to the Chen family in full."
Chen Bolin shook his head deeply, a heavy sigh echoing in his chest.
It is filled with helplessness about the current situation and uncertainty about the future.
But this is the village and the brothers and sisters who have been rooted here all their lives.
He actually stabbed himself in the chest with such a vicious knife!
Pain and despair overwhelmed his heart.
In an instant, Chen Bolin seemed to have aged decades.
"Dad, don't be afraid."
Just then, a gentle yet firm voice broke the silence.
It's Su Xi!
Her gaze was calm as she quietly walked in.
"We don't need them to rush us, we'll walk by ourselves."
"When Ah Le comes back, we'll leave and head to Tianzhou to live."
"Isn't Ah Le working so hard to earn money all for this family, so that we can have a better future?"
"Let them do whatever they want with the things in the village."
These words caused an uproar in the room once again!
This was accompanied by bursts of laughter and ridicule.
Some people said sarcastically, "Oh, isn't this Chen Lao Er's wife? He beats you every day, and now you're speaking up for him?"
"Has this girl been beaten senseless?"
"Do you, an outsider, have the right to speak here?"
"This is truly a case of a married daughter being like water spilled from a bowl, always siding with outsiders!"
"Little girl, you've turned into the wrong place. You should turn towards your own home!"
Despite these verbal attacks, Su Xi remained calm!
"Now that I've married into the Chen family, I'm a daughter-in-law of the Chen family. I can say whatever I want about the Chen family's affairs."
"Since you want to remove my parents-in-law from the family genealogy, there's no need to be polite to you bastards."
"Wait a moment, when my Chen Le settles things with you, I just hope you won't regret it!"
Su Xi raised her eyes, glanced at everyone, and said calmly.
That one glance silenced everyone in fear.
My heart skipped a beat.
What a loud tone!
Could it be... that Chen Le has really struck it rich!
No way……
However, looking at Su Xi's dirty clothes after finishing farm work...
Everyone immediately felt relieved and burst into laughter.
Chen Le is making a lot of money? He's going to live in Tianzhou?
"What nonsense!"
"Yeah, once you've made money, you should hurry up and go to the big city to enjoy life. Why stay in your hometown?"
"Don't worry, no one in the Chen family will regret it!"
"Hahaha, interesting."
Chen Baisen laughed, took out a contract, and placed it on the table: "Since your daughter-in-law has spoken, I won't insist. Let's sign the contract now to avoid you going back on your word later!"
"Second son, sign it quickly. From now on, you have nothing to do with the Chen family!"
"Everything the old man left behind must be returned to the family!"
Chen Baisen pointed to the contract and said calmly.
Chen Bolin glanced at Su Xi in despair and shook his head helplessly.
Although I know my daughter-in-law meant well.
But returning to one's roots is, after all, a tradition of the older generation.
My own Ah Le hasn't even established himself yet, how can he just leave like that?
It was clear that the Chen family was about to drive him to the brink of despair.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
"Chen Bolin, don't think you can get away with this by pretending to be mute!!"
"Everyone's here now, you'd better settle this quickly!"
"Weren't you so tough just now? Even your daughter-in-law dares to talk to us like that, it's outrageous!"
Seeing that Chen Bolin remained silent, Chen Bosen took the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks.
"I sign!"
"It's none of your business to talk about our family members, including my daughter-in-law!"
Chen Bolin gritted his teeth and actually picked up a pen to write his name on the contract.
Chen Baisen finally smiled with satisfaction after seeing this.
"very good!"
"We're brothers, so once your Dongmei's wedding celebration is over, hurry up and clean up this old house!"
"Anyway, your second son has made a fortune, so you can go to the city and enjoy life with him."
"Let me make this clear beforehand: even if your second son goes bankrupt, if you still come crying and wanting to come back, there's no way you'll get your hands on him!"
Chen Baisen said very seriously.
"I, Chen Bolin, still have that much backbone!"
"Even if my second son doesn't have a house, my wife and I will go out begging with him and we will never come back!"
After saying this, Chen Bolin walked outside, his steps unsteady.
Su Xi and her mother-in-law Li Xiuying followed closely behind Chen Bolin, supporting him with heartache.
Seeing her father storm out, Chen Dongmei hurriedly went up to him.
"Dad, what happened?"
Chen Dongmei asked with great concern.
"It's nothing, just a small matter. Dad has already taken care of it."
"You and Lijun can focus on your wedding and don't keep their parents waiting. I'll handle things at home," Chen Bolin said with a smile, not wanting his daughter to worry.
"dad……"
Chen Dongmei's eyes were red, and she vaguely guessed that her father must have been wronged.
This old man always stands in front, sheltering himself from the wind and rain.
They kept quiet about whatever happened.
Chen Dongmei lowered her head.
I hate myself for being incompetent.
If I were successful, I would never let my father suffer such injustice at his advanced age!
My father is having such a hard time...
"Dad...don't be afraid, we have Ah Le!"
Su Xi laughed, a beautiful and serene laugh that possessed an invisible power.
With tears in her eyes, Chen Dongmei suddenly raised her head.
fine……
I also have a younger brother.
Perhaps, when Ah Le comes back...
Everything will be fine.
