Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

Faced with his mother's tears, Chen Dongze felt very sad. He tried to comfort her and said with a smile that he was not tired in the countryside.

Zhang Hua naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything in the end. What he was thinking in his heart was that he had to make Chen Changqing agree no matter what to keep Chen Dongze in Beijing after the New Year and not go back to the remote mountain village of Shisong Village to farm.

"Your dad doesn't know when he'll be back, so I think you should eat first."

Zhang Hua said this and was about to stand up.

"Mom, wait a minute!"

Chen Dongze raised his hand to stop him and said, "I haven't been home for a while, and I want to have dinner with my dad."

"You have your father in your heart, but he only has his own son in his heart. Otherwise, I have mentioned to him more than once that I should transfer you back to the city from the countryside, or send you to join the army, but your father just disagreed, saying that you are in the countryside. It is a good training opportunity and it will only benefit you in the future. "

Zhang Hua's face was not very good: "How can I believe what he said? If there are really benefits, why do people around try their best to prevent their children from going to the countryside?!"

Chen Dongze: "There are many young people of my age in our compound who have gone to the countryside, but they are scattered all over the country. I think my father would not say such things without a purpose. He does not agree with me going back to the city, and he must be considering my future prospects."

"I don't think so."

Frowning slightly, Zhang Hua said, "From the fact that you had to go to the countryside, I have completely realized that neither your father nor those two old guys regard you as a member of this family. In their hearts, we are both outsiders!"

At this moment, there were only Zhang Hua and his son Chen Dongze in the house. Therefore, Zhang Hua could not help but be frank in his words and said whatever he thought.

Chen Dongze's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he said, "Mom, Dad, and Grandma and Grandma have never treated us unfairly over the years."

"What do you mean by never treated us unfairly? Haven't I contributed anything to this family?"

Zhang Hua disagreed with what Chen Dongze said. She said: "They provide us with a stable life, and I take care of the family's food and drink on a daily basis. This can be called an equal exchange. We don't owe them anything.

But then again, after living under the same roof for so many years, even if they don’t treat us as a real family, they should at least have some affection for us. But do they?

If so, why do you have to go to the countryside?"

"You know that I was not the person Grandpa originally selected to go to the countryside."

Chen Dongze couldn't help but doubt at this moment. He suspected that his mother was pretending to be confused, so her tone seemed particularly complicated.

Zhang Hua was stunned.

After a while, she explained, "I was too busy on weekdays and forgot about it." If she had known in advance what decision the old man had made about going to the countryside, she would definitely not have taken any action.

From this point of view, she was sorry for her son. It was because of her rush that her son became the one who was chosen to go to the countryside!

"Mom, we should treat each person in this family with sincerity. As long as we treat everyone in this family with sincerity, my dad and my grandparents will naturally see and feel it, and then they will treat us with sincerity."

He was brought into this family by his mother and has no blood relationship with the Chen family. If his mother is too selfish and only thinks about their own interests, one day, everyone, including him, will be kicked out of the Chen family.

Leaning against the big tree is good for the coolness.

In his opinion, even if he was not of the Chen family's bloodline and was not his father's biological child, just because he had the surname Chen and was his father's stepson, no matter what he did in the future, it would definitely be much smoother with the Chen family's support behind him.

Thinking of this, Chen Dongze did not wait for his mother Zhang Hua to speak, and changed the subject. He only heard him ask: "It's almost the New Year, why did grandpa and grandma move back to the compound? And Dongxu, he... isn't he physically disabled, why doesn't he live at home?"

"It would be better if those two old guys didn't move back home, so I don't have to see their old faces every day."

Zhang Hua had always hoped that the old man and the old lady of the Chen family would die soon. She had such an idea because she had realized since she became Chen Changqing's wife that the old man and the old lady did not like her as a daughter-in-law at all.

Specifically, her attitude towards her was always very indifferent. Unlike her eldest daughter-in-law, the old lady would smile as soon as she saw her, and even the old man would ask a few questions out of concern.

What good is a hen that can't lay eggs?

Yes, she also did not give birth to a bloodline for the Chen family, but it was not that she did not want to, but that Chen Changqing was only married to her in name only. In this case, once she became pregnant, what awaited her was definitely divorce!

In other words, even the title of Mrs. Chen San would be lost!

Well, actually, she was already infertile—she had injured herself when she gave birth to her daughter, and the doctor told her that it would be difficult for her to get pregnant again.

But it didn't matter to her at all.

If Chen Changqing was willing to be a real couple with her, the worst that could happen to her would be that she used some trickery to fake a pregnancy, wait until she was about to give birth to avoid the Chen family, and then take home an abandoned baby and say it was hers.

By then, who else but her would know that the child was not of the Chen family's blood?

Zhang Hua’s idea is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel.

Chen Changqing didn't give her the slightest chance to get close to him, let alone drink the soup she brought to him in private. In short, her nominal husband was always cautious with her, to prevent her from going against her "original intention" when she entered the Chen family and truly establishing her identity as Mrs. Chen San.

Original intention?

Her original intention of entering the Chen family was just a trick on her part.

- Help his good friend Zhao Su, Chen Changqing’s wife who died in childbirth, to take care of her infant daughter and young son.

Anyway, she had made up her mind to marry into the Chen family.

On the one hand, he was attracted by the Chen family's background and Chen Changqing himself.

On the other hand, she needs a husband to help her raise her children, the pair of children left to her by her ex-husband.

So, no matter what Chen Changqing's attitude towards her was, she stayed in Chen's house and refused to leave.

Finally, in order to stop the gossip in the compound, she took the initiative to propose that as long as she could stay and help her deceased friend take care of the children, she could pretend to be a couple with him. Only then did Chen Changqing relent and promise to treat her two children as his own.

The prerequisite is that she must do what she says and take good care of his children.

In fact, Zhang Hua knew very well that what really made Chen Changqing give in was not the gossip in the compound, but the story she made up about her friend's last wish and the fact that the two children left behind by her friend were too young.

Her so-called last wish was that her friends hoped that she could stay in the Chen family and help take care of their children as they grew up.

"Mom! Can't you just talk properly?"

Chen Dongze's sudden voice brought Zhang Hua back to his senses.

"Why didn't I speak properly?"

Zhang Hua was puzzled.

"You and my dad are husband and wife, you have to show some respect to my grandparents!"

Old thing?

Old face?

Chen Dongze couldn't understand why his mother was so mean and harsh, using such unbearable names to address the old man and the old lady in front of him?
