Mixed in 1980

Chapter 410 Scolding
Chen Fan had the same headache as Xiao Wu.

He was resilient from a young age, almost like someone with ADHD, and lacked focus in his actions. His aunt took care of him throughout junior and senior high school, guiding his studies until he was able to get into Xiamen University.

Once you get to college, you can completely let loose and be yourself.

Back in the east courtyard, Chen Fan went to the east wing: "When Xiao Wu comes back, we still need to clean up. We can't keep going like this."

Zeng Ali curled her lip slightly and said disdainfully, "Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk. Use bamboo sticks, whips, tiger benches and all that. Go ahead and teach them a lesson. I won't stop you."

"What about my army?" Chen Fan asked irritably.

Zeng Ali chuckled and said irritably, "Tell me yourself, Xiao Yi'er, Xiao Xi, and the other five children, which one don't you spoil?"

"And Miss Zhao, she just shrugs off everything and doesn't care about anything. Isn't it all Qiu'er and I who take care of things?"

Chen Fan touched his nose and chuckled awkwardly, "Strict mother and kind father, you both choose to play the bad cop, so I can only play the good cop. We can't both play the bad cop, can we?"

Zeng Ali pounced on her husband and bit him hard: "Have you no shame? Do you think we're going to play the bad cop? It's all because you spoil the kids."

Chen Fan was disappointed and could only hug his wife.

Zeng Ali glared at him, annoyed: "Xiao Wu's temperament hasn't settled down yet, we can only take it slowly, but he can't cause trouble outside either, I'll have the boss give him a beating later."

"Why does your whole family get a headache whenever Xiao Wu is mentioned?" Ye Wan was very curious and held back until she returned to her room before asking.

Chen Yanjin scratched his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "If we really want to talk about it, among the three of us brothers, only the fifth one has the air of a rich young master."

"That little rascal has believed in one thing since he was a child: if a problem can be solved with money, then it's not a problem. He's spent a lot of money on this since he was a child."

"This guy is really mischievous and loves to play. He wants to try everything new and exciting. He's also a bit unreliable and has caused a lot of trouble. He's just a real troublemaker."

"Fortunately, he's not a bad person at heart."

"Although he may cause trouble, he won't do anything wrong. At most, he'll just be a little ostentatious. Plus, with Jing Shu keeping an eye on him, he won't cause any major problems."

"Who is Jing Shu?" Ye Wan asked curiously.

“My cousin’s daughter, um… her adopted daughter.”

Chen Yanjin paused for a moment and explained, "In 1992, my cousin went on a business trip to Guizhou and saw through human traffickers at the train station, and rescued Jing Shu."

"There were many people at the train station at the time, and they were all indignant. They beat the human trafficker to death on the spot. Jing Shu's identity became a mystery, and her aunt decided to bring her back to raise her."

"For some reason, Jing Shu has been close to Xiao Wu since childhood. Wherever Xiao Wu is, she is there too. She even deliberately repeated a year in her senior year of high school so that she could go to Xiamen University with Xiao Wu."

“If Jing Shu hadn’t gone with him, the family wouldn’t have let Xiao Wu go to Xiamen University. Just you wait and see, when he comes back in a couple of days, his older sister will definitely give him a beating.”

After listening, Ye Wan couldn't help but laugh.

From an ordinary person's perspective, Xiao Wu is actually quite normal. With countless riches in his family, there's nothing wrong with him being a little flamboyant.

In the past two years, Wang Wanda's son has been flaunting his wealth on Weibo, showcasing his status and lifestyle as a rich second-generation, and has even been called "national husband" by a group of women.

Ye Wan was relieved that Chen Yanjin didn't do that.

That's not how people live life. They objectify everything, using money as the standard for everything, and women are reduced to commodities under this standard.

It's just that many people don't admit it.

To insist on cloaking a transaction in the guise of love, oh... and attitude, the quality of which depends on the amount of "yuan" involved.

Just like when Xiao Ya proposed a wedding house and an 88 yuan dowry, Chen Yanjin wasn't actually heartbroken. In an instant, he treated Xiao Ya like a commodity.

A woman worth 88 yuan is not qualified to be the head of the Chen family.

Can't afford to lose that person.

Chen Yanche was very insightful, so insightful that he immediately broke up with his girlfriend just before his vacation: "We're not compatible, you deserve better."

Before the woman could say anything, he shoved a bank card into her hand and said, "There's 30 in this card. The password is six zeros. Remember that. You must find someone better than me."

He resolutely turned away amidst the woman's reluctant gaze.

It's estimated that for a long time, the woman will remember his good qualities and might even write in her diary: "He is a true gentleman!"

The gentleman, however, shamelessly took Zhou Jingshu's arm and said, "Sister, come back to Ya'er Hutong with me tomorrow."

Zhou Jingshu pouted: "I'm not going!"

Chen Yanche grinned and said, "You only have one brother, how can you bear to watch me get beaten to death? Tomorrow, when my older sister beats me, you better stop her."

Zhou Jingshu chuckled: "Don't you pride yourself on being bold and responsible? Your older sister won't kill you. At most, she'll give you a beating. Just bear with it, it'll pass. What's there to be afraid of?"

Chen Yanche chuckled awkwardly, "Sis, you can't really just stand by and watch me die, can you? You know how ruthless my eldest sister is; she can't get out of bed for two or three days."

"I owe you!"

Zhou Jingshu gritted her teeth and pinched him: "I don't care how you usually are, but you should at least put some effort into your studies, right? If you fail another course, your second brother will punish you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanche shuddered.

The eldest sister is strict, at most she'll give her a beating, but Chen Lao Er is different, he's a troublemaker, he'll find all sorts of ways to get back at people.

During the summer vacation after my first year of high school, I was too flamboyant. I booked a resort and treated the whole class to a party. I also said some outrageous things, which got out and caused a bad reputation.

Chen Lao Er didn't indulge himself; he threw himself into the Daliang Mountains and made him eat potatoes for two whole months, losing about 20 pounds.

During the summer vacations of his junior and senior years of high school, Chen Lao Er didn't let himself off the hook either, throwing himself into wherever was poor or difficult.

Everyone else dreams of summer vacation, but I'm the only one who dreads it.

That was a real nightmare!
During the Spring Festival, Chen Lao Er said that if I failed again, he wouldn't blame me for being ruthless: "Don't worry, I'm prepared this semester, I definitely won't fail." "I hope so!"

Zhou Jingshu sighed helplessly: "You've really angered your second brother. If he wants to punish you, I can't stop him. Good luck to you."

The following day, they returned to the capital.

Chen Yanche was a little uneasy. No one came to pick him up, so he had to take a taxi home. He took a deep breath before picking up his luggage and strode inside.

"Just stand there in the yard!"

Hearing his older sister's voice, Chen Yanche even paused, then chuckled awkwardly, "Big sister, I've been on a plane for several hours, at least let me rest for a while."

"Stand still!"

Chen Yanxi snorted, stepped forward, and took Zhou Jingshu's arm, leading her inside: "Jingshu, this little rascal has caused you no shortage of trouble, hasn't he?"

Zhou Jingshu turned around and gave a helpless look: "Big sister, it's alright. Xiao Wu hasn't caused any trouble except for being playful. Why don't you let him rest for a while?"

"Don't spoil that little brat."

Chen Yanxi led Zhou Jingshu into the house and brewed her a cup of Longjing tea: "Try it. Gao Lu brought it over. She might be your future third sister-in-law."

Zhou Jingshu took a small sip, her eyes lighting up slightly: "It's good. Has Third Brother come to his senses?"

"It should be soon, please have a seat."

Chen Yanxi stood up, picked up a feather duster and went out. Without saying a word, he started hitting Xiao Wu. Fortunately, Zhou Jingshu ran out and stopped him, otherwise she could have crippled Xiao Wu.

After finishing his cigarette, Chen Yanxi didn't say anything, and went back to make tea with Zhou Jingshu.

Chen Yanche was on the verge of tears, but why?
Where is the rest of the family? Why is the house so empty? There's not even anyone to help out. Little did they know, Chen Yanxi had invited all the elders in the family to the neighboring yard.

After standing there for more than half an hour, he finally saw someone, but it was Chen Lao Er. Chen Yanche muttered to himself, "Damn it, why is he back?"

Two women were also with Chen Lao Er.

"Oh, Xiao Wu is back? Why are you standing outside? The sun in Fujian isn't hot enough. You haven't had enough sun. Go back to the capital and get some more sun?" Chen Yanjin clicked his tongue.

Chen Yanche chuckled awkwardly, "Second brother, I've been standing here for half an hour. Go talk to eldest sister and that's enough. I haven't caused any trouble."

Chen Yanjin asked, "Why did you get punished, eldest sister?"

Chen Yancheng smiled wryly: "How would I know?"

Chen Yanjin shrugged: "Look, you don't even know why your older sister punished you. How can I plead for you? You still haven't realized where you went wrong."

Chen Yanche retorted irritably, "I haven't done anything immoral or immoral, nor have I tried to steal or kill anyone. Is it really necessary? Second brother, I'm your youngest brother."

Chen Yanjin said disdainfully, "Come on, if it's something heinous, would you only be punished by standing? Come on, tell your second brother, how many girlfriends are you planning to have during your four years of university?"

"What are you saying?"

Chen Yanche scratched his head and chuckled, "I was looking for true love, but the road was bumpy and I accidentally went astray."

Chen Yanjin gritted his teeth: "Are you sure?"

Chen Yanche nodded and said, "That's true. Can you blame me for not meeting the right person? Besides, I handled it so well. Even after the breakup, the person still remembers how good I was."

"You still remember my kindness, don't you?"

Chen Yanjin gritted his teeth, glanced at the broom in the corner, and grabbed it: "You little bastard, if I don't teach you a lesson, you'll think you're right."

"Sister, help!"

Chen Yanche shuddered and quickly ran into the house. Zhou Jingshu heard the noise and quickly came out to stop him, knowing that her second brother was no joke when he struck.

"Second brother, he just likes to play around, it's not that serious."

"Is it really just that he likes to play around? Bah... He's such a playboy. If word gets out, people will think there's something wrong with our family's reputation."

Chen Yanjin gritted his teeth: "Your fourth sister is still single. When she looks for a partner in the future, people will see that her brother-in-law is a playboy. Will her family members be the same?"

"Jing Shu, move aside!"

"If I don't give him a good scolding today, he won't learn his lesson. He eats the family's food, uses the family's food, and still causes trouble for the family."

"Second brother, it's not that bad. He's still young. I'll talk to him later," Zhou Jingshu said, trying to stop him.

"Second brother, that's enough."

Chen Yanxi coughed lightly and glared at his underling: "Get out of here and stand outside. Think it over before you come in. Why can't you make things easier for me?"

Chen Yanche said "oh," and seeing his second brother blocking the door with a broom, he didn't dare to move.

Seeing this, Ye Wan took the broom from her boyfriend's hand: "Alright, calm down. Xiao Wu is still young, it's not as serious as you say."

Chen Yanjin said irritably, "How can it not be serious? Look at Wang Wanda's son, he flaunts his wealth and women online every day. What future does he have?"

"If it weren't for the money, who would go after him?"

As she spoke, she glared at Xiao Wu and said, "If you want to do this, then go ahead and cause trouble. Even if your family arranges a marriage for you, you won't be able to find a good one."

"Who would marry their daughter to a playboy when they are well-matched in terms of social standing?"

"Get out and stand there!"
