"I don't want to pay, and I don't want to work. After all our hard work as a family, we still have to listen to these people complain and even look down on them. Why?"
"But what you said just now was too straightforward. You clearly meant to ask them for money..."
Listening to her son's words, Han Xuemei thought that there was indeed some truth to it.
But after thinking about it, I still feel that it is not appropriate to say this.
"You should at least say it tactfully, so that your aunt won't be able to pick on you when she sees you in the future?"
Han Xuemei was used to the oppression from her family, and subconsciously she didn't want to offend anyone in the Han family.
Chen Yu, however, looked unhappy and couldn't help but retort: "Mom, why do you have to think so? Don't you know what those aunts and uncles are?"
"If I had said it euphemistically and implicitly, they would have pretended to be confused and refused to pay when the time came. They would also be looking for favors and benefits. All of them are shameless people."
"Although I have money, I don't want them to take advantage of me and say bad things about me. Isn't this obviously a white-eyed wolf?"
Chen Yu's words were particularly unpleasant.
Chen Penghai secretly covered his mouth and was enjoying himself secretly.
It was a rare sight to see the famous scene of his son lecturing his wife, and he was watching it with great enthusiasm.
Besides, what the son said is not unreasonable, is it? If you go and accept the anger, you won't get any benefits in the end, and you still have to spend their family's money. Why
Han Xuemei looked serious and scolded hurriedly: "You kid, how could you say that!"
Chen Yu discovered that his mother Han Xuemei's character was a bit foolish and filial.
Not only are they afraid of offending their brothers and sisters, they even regard what their parents say as an imperial edict. As long as they say it, they must do it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said so harshly just now, so he persuaded his mother not to go there early and become a nanny for their relatives.
What Han Xuemei is worried about is that what Chen Yu did will be affected by Chen Yu's reputation if the eldest sister tells it with added insult and jealousy.
Not only that, but others will also say that he is not good at raising his children, and the children even dare to criticize and contradict his own aunt at will.
Han Xuemei's eyes were full of worry, but Chen Yu persuaded her earnestly: "Mom, don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. This matter itself is not our fault."
"Even if they say it, others will only say that they do nothing but bully and exploit us. Isn't that enough lessons they teach us every year? Their behavior makes me sick to death."
"From now on, whenever it's a family banquet, we will all go out to eat. Why is our family always the one who is wronged?"
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, Han Xuemei's cell phone rang.
Han Xuemei glanced at the caller ID nervously, and her expression suddenly changed when she saw that the caller was actually her father!
"Oops, it's your grandfather calling. Your aunt must have said something in front of him. He must be calling to teach you a lesson!"
Han Xuemei looked helpless, but she still didn't dare not answer the phone, so she immediately picked up the phone.
"Hey, dad..."
Han Xuemei shouted guiltily.
"Xuemei, I heard from your eldest sister that your family is planning to book a hotel, so we can eat out, right?"
Mr. Han's voice was slightly aged. Han Xuemei quickly explained with a smile: "Dad, we were late today. I'm afraid we won't have time to cook for you."
"So Chen Yu, the boy, is worried that you are hungry, and also wants to treat you to a good meal, so he said that he wants to book a restaurant outside, so that we, the whole family, can go out to have a meal together."
Naturally, Han Xuemei didn't dare to contradict her father, and she didn't want to make this matter a big deal, so she hurriedly explained and tried to smooth over the unpleasantness just now.
"Haha, since you are far away, let your eldest sister's child book a restaurant. Just now he said that the child's business has been doing well recently and there is a possibility of promotion. He is ready to celebrate."
After hearing that her father didn't mean to blame herself, Han Xuemei felt relieved.
Mr. Han also understood that since Han Xuemei married Chen Penghai, many relatives in the family looked down on their family.
Chen Penghai was a powerless pauper at the beginning. He started a small business and planned to start from scratch.
Who would have thought that just after their family had made a slight improvement, they suddenly lost all their money.
There is even a debt of more than 500,000 yuan. Many relatives, when they see Chen Penghai's family of three, want to take a detour and are not willing to say another word to them.
Mr. Han sees all this, but he knows that Han Xuemei has always been a filial child, and he doesn't want him to live too hard.
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Han immediately asked Han Xueqing's son to make a reservation at a restaurant.
Since it's too late, the family will have a luxurious meal this year, have a good meal outside, and have a good birthday party for the old lady.
When Chen Yu heard that someone was willing to take the initiative to book a place to eat, he was happy and free and didn't want to worry about those troublesome things.
After deciding, the family of three went back to their rooms to change clothes.
After changing clothes and coming out, Han Xuemei frowned when she saw her son wearing big pants and a pure white T-shirt. She quickly waved her hand, urging him to change into better clothes.
"After all, it's your grandma's birthday party, and we're going to a high-end restaurant for dinner. Isn't it inappropriate for you to wear something like this?"
"I remember you have a shirt and trousers, don't you? Go put them on quickly, don't dress so casually!"
His grandma had always looked down on their family, but if she saw Chen Yu dressed so casually, she would probably have something to say about it later.
Chen Yu looked nonchalant, waved his hand and said casually: "Mom, are you too nervous?"
"Isn't it just grandma's birthday party? It's not a high-end wine shop. It's a gathering of our own family. Why do we have to pay so much attention to it?"
Grandma originally disliked their family, and each of the relatives was angrier than the last.
No matter how I dress up, they will always find something wrong with me.
If I dress a little better, they will say I have made a few small bucks and start showing off.
But if you dress casually, they will say you don't pay attention to grandma's birthday party.
In this case, I might as well do nothing and let them say whatever they like.
