Chapter 2024: Conflicts arise, Zhuang Tunan is in a dilemma

In the millennium, people now have two days off a week. There is no such thing as 996 nowadays, not to mention that Zhuang Tunan and Li Jia are both in the system.

Of course, Li Jia, who is pursuing progress, voluntarily went to the company to work overtime on Saturday. Of course, it was more because she didn't want to face her father-in-law, who had no peace at home.

No matter which direction you go, it's wrong.
Zhuang Tunan was worthy of being called the little "Xiao Zhuang". Seeing his father looking so thin, he felt distressed and went to the vegetable market to buy chicken, duck, fish and meat, intending to give the old man some good nourishment.

But his father-in-law and mother-in-law are both at home, so he can't just be filial to his father. Moreover, seeing that the atmosphere at home is not very good, Zhuang Tunan also wants to ease it.

"Mom and Dad, the meat at the market is especially fresh today, so I bought some to nourish grandpa and grandma!"

"You are such a thoughtful kid!" Father Li nodded in satisfaction, and even said to Zhuang Chaoying, "Teacher Zhuang, Tunan is such a filial kid!"

This was simply like taking a knife and stabbing it into Zhuang Chaoying's heart. The feeling in the heart of this eldest son could no longer be described as "unsatisfied", he was simply extremely angry.

You know how to buy things to show your filial piety to your wife’s family, but you don’t know how to take care of your own father?

But there is no way, our teacher Zhuang is so concerned about his reputation!

"Yes, Tuanan is just like me, he is filial!" As he said this, he did not forget to glance at his son, his eyes fully revealing his dissatisfaction.

Out of sight, out of mind. I stood up, put on my coat and prepared to go for a walk outside.

Zhuang Tunan realized too late that he had made a mess of things, so he quickly turned around and chased after him, thinking about explaining.

Mr. Li happened to say something.

"Grandpa Guodong, what are you doing?"

"Tunan bought so much, let's eat some together later!"

These words seemed to be another stab in the back. Zhuang Chaoying, who was changing shoes, had a stiff face and reached out to push his son away.

"I'm not hungry. I'm too old to eat meat!"

After saying that, he rushed out.

"Dad!" Zhuang Tunan hurriedly chased after him.

"Snapped!"

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Li's mother whispered to her husband, "My dear, why are you saying this? Don't you understand what your son-in-law means?"

"Humph!" Father Li looked dissatisfied. "I said that on purpose because I understand me!"

"You only know how to be filial to his biological father?"

"You, aren't you making Jia Jia feel uncomfortable being stuck in the middle?"

"Come on, what do women know?"

"Go call Awen and ask them and their family of three to come over for a bite. I really miss Xiaobao's child!"

Old man Li's father is strange. He was reluctant to let his son marry that indecent woman before, but after Zhao Juan got married, he accepted this eloquent daughter-in-law.

He treated that non-blood-related grandson better than his biological grandson Zhuang Guodong. When there was something delicious, the first person he thought of was Li Bao.

Even Li's mother was puzzled and even asked secretly.

Father Li had a strong argument for this. "Xiaobao's surname is Li, so he is from our Li family. Anyone else is a stranger no matter what!"

You know what, even though Zhuang Chaoying is 60 years old, his legs and feet are still quite flexible. Zhuang Tunan, who was sitting in the office, couldn't catch up with him.

I was panting as I jogged all the way.

"Dad, wait for me!"

"Humph, I'm not your dad, I'm Grandpa Guodong!"

Zhuang Chaoying snorted heavily and continued to walk quickly forward, without even looking at his son. He had been feeling frustrated for the past two days and had no place to vent his feelings. He was even cautious about adding one more bite of food to his meal.

Zhuang Tunan knew that his father was still holding his breath, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only shake his head helplessly and continue chasing
He is in a difficult situation too.

Why can't my father understand?

It's wrong for the father to take sides on both sides, so he can only try to be a peacemaker in the middle. As a result, it seems that no one is satisfied now.

"Oh~" "Dad!" I finally caught up with him at the entrance of the alley, leaning on my knees and gasping for breath.

"You...please listen to my explanation!"

Zhuang Chaoying looked at his son silently and sighed deeply. He knew that his son was in an awkward position. To be honest, he didn't want to think about it at all. The education he received over the years made him never care about food and drink.

But he just couldn't swallow this humiliation no matter what. The feeling of living under someone else's roof was too uncomfortable, and it made Mr. Zhuang, who thought highly of himself, feel very aggrieved.

He is living in his son's home in his old age!
How did it become like this now?

"Tuanan, you... forget it~" Zhuang Chaoying didn't know how to start, otherwise he would have no reason to complain!

Teacher Zhuang disdains to do such things.

"Dad, I was wrong!" Zhuang Tunan admitted his mistake decisively.

"I...I didn't consider your feelings. I didn't care about you enough during this period!"

Zhuang Chaoying stared at him intently. At first he felt better, but at last he blinked and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Gone?"

"Ah!" Zhuang Tunan was stunned. "What else?"

This made Teacher Zhuang very angry, but he never got to the point. I was being criticized by your mother-in-law in your home, but this kid didn't even mention it!
Did you really not hear it or are you pretending not to know?
"Hmph!" She pushed him away angrily again and walked away.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"None of your business, go home and be filial to your father!"

Zhuang Tunan still felt confused. What happened to the old man?
I don't understand
And what is Zhuang Tuxi doing?
He was drinking with Lin Dongzhe at this time. It was almost dark when they finished a bottle of wine. It had been several months since they last saw each other. This brother-in-law, who had become more mature with age, is now a busy man.

"Slurp~" He took a sip of wine. "Hey Dongzhe, you Lin family are going too far. Why do you think my sister is the only one who can support this company?"

"At the company and at home, I really work like a slave for the Lin family, don't I?"

"Uh...Brother Tuxi, I've been really busy with work lately!" Knowing that he was in the wrong, Lin Dongzhe raised his glass and smiled.

The two of them clinked their glasses and drank their wine. Zhuang Tuxi picked up a piece of braised beef tongue with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

He said incoherently while chewing. "Dongzhe, joking aside, you two really need to think about this carefully. You can't be so busy all the time. Even if your relationship is good, it's easy for problems to arise!"

"Besides, as you continue to move up, some things will become more restricted, and you have to be aware of this~"

"Go back and persuade Xiaoting, even if it's just to send a professional manager!"

Lin Dongzhe put down his chopsticks and smiled bitterly.

"Brother Tuxi, I know your sister better than you do. Even though she is always laughing and joking, she is more stubborn than anyone else and won't listen to advice at all!"

"And I'll be honest with you!" He leaned forward and spoke in a low voice. "Don't think I'm doing well now, but I really hate this kind of life. I'm thinking about whether I should change my way of life!"

Zhuang Tuxi was a little shocked. She didn't expect that her brother-in-law actually wanted to resign. A 30-year-old deputy director is rare even in a first-tier city like Shanghai, let alone in a department like Development and Reform.

"You..." I came to my senses and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the ringing of the cell phone.

When he took it out of his pocket, he saw it was Zhuang Tunan.

"Hey?"

"what!"

"What's going on~"

"Okay, I'll be there right away!" Zhuang Tuxi hung up the phone.

Lin Dongzhe immediately showed concern. "Is it Big Brother's call? What's wrong?"

"Teacher Zhuang is in the hospital again. He fainted from anger!"

The two rushed to the hospital and met Zhuang Xiaoting at the gate who had also received the news.
