Old Deng is reborn in the 1980s, and he starts by severing his father-son relationship!

The other children held their breath, watching with expressions of anticipation; it was rare for the eldest son, Chen Jianguo, to suffer such a setback.

Liu Rui's expression changed rapidly within seconds. He had thought he could easily squeeze money out of the old man after returning, but he never expected it to turn out like this. He lost both his wife and his money, and he was starting to panic.

Go to your workplace to see your supervisor?

If this blows up, what will become of Chen Jianguo's future?

Her job may also be affected at that time.

Liu Rui was both angry and anxious. He gritted his teeth and hardened his heart:

"Dad! You're trying to kill us!"

With a forced smile, Chen Jianguo met the gazes of his entire family and dryly explained:

"Dad, Liu Rui's family is indeed in financial difficulty. As the eldest daughter, she definitely has to help support them."

Chen Deshun laughed angrily: "What did you say?! That her family is in trouble? Did her father die or her mother die? Or is one of her brothers seriously ill and hospitalized, and her family is so poor they can't even afford to eat? After your mother passed away, I've been raising you ungrateful bastards all by myself, and you think I'm not having a hard time?"

"You old bastard, did you eat mud in your mouth? It's so dirty!"

"You dare curse me to die young, or curse my brother to be seriously ill and hospitalized? I... I'll fight you to the death!"

With red eyes, Liu Rui pounced on Chen Deshun like a mad hen, baring her teeth and claws.

Chen Deshun was startled by Liu Rui's actions. Throughout history, the most common conflicts have been between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law or fathers and sons. He had lived to such an old age and rarely heard of fathers-in-law having direct conflicts with their daughters-in-law, let alone fighting.

But his daughter-in-law is really bizarre. She actually dared to point at her father-in-law and curse him. She's gone too far and even dared to hit him. Who spoiled her with this bad habit?

Just as Liu Rui was about to rush over, Chen Deshun reacted quickly, grabbed the fourth brother Chen Sanqi, and threw him over.

Bang! A muffled thud followed by a scream. Chen Sanqi stumbled, his round body crashing onto Liu Rui.

At this time, Chen Sanqi had not yet suffered the hardships of life as she had in her previous life, which led to her drastic weight loss.

Despite the family's debts, Chen Deshun never neglected any of his children's food, even the least favored Chen Sanqi was always well-fed.

Standing less than 1.6 meters tall, yet weighing 140 kilograms, she is a standard case of excessive obesity.

On the other hand, Liu Rui, with her small frame of just over 1.6 meters and weight of less than 100 kilograms, could hardly withstand Chen Sanqi's pressure.

Lying on the ground, grimacing from being pressed down, he retaliated by striking Chen Sanqi with a set of "Nine Yin White Bone Claws," leaving several red marks on Chen Sanqi's arm, with faint signs of skin breaking.

Chen Deshun frowned as he looked at Chen Sanqi, who was being passively beaten. "Fourth brother, is all that fat of yours just for show? Push her back! If you can't even handle this little situation, you can forget about serving dishes at home!"

Chen Sanqi jolted awake, snapped back to his senses, and started punching his sister-in-law beneath him.

Chen Deshun glanced at Liu Rui and Lao Si, who were fighting on the ground, then looked at his other children in the room and snorted.

These spoiled brats, each one of them, just watched him, their father, being scolded, and not one of them uttered a sound.

Liu Rui was already right in front of them, but these bastards were still just watching the show, not one of them stepped forward to help him.

But we can't expect him, as the father-in-law, to personally get involved with his daughter-in-law, can we?

If he takes action today, tomorrow the whole neighborhood will probably be talking about "him fighting his daughter-in-law for three hundred rounds".

A man needs a face, and a tree needs its bark.

Especially in this era, reputation is highly valued.

News spread like wildfire among neighbors and in workplaces; gossip could be devastating. Once tainted, not only would social relationships be affected, but career advancement would be impossible. Therefore, people back then were extremely cautious in their words and actions, preferring to suffer losses rather than ruin their reputation. A person's reputation was not only their face but also the foundation of their livelihood, and no one dared to joke about it.

Chen Deshun didn't want to take risks, but at crucial moments, someone always had to step in to protect him.

With the eldest daughter absent, the youngest daughter too weak to fight, the second son too cunning, and the third son only capable of bullying his own kind, the only option was to push the underage fourth son out. And the fourth son certainly didn't disappoint him, beating Liu Rui black and blue in no time.

This didn't happen in the previous life. If things had progressed according to the previous life, the eldest son and his wife would have already received the money and gone home happily, and the fourth son and Liu Rui would never have fought.

Although Liu Rui came from a rural background, she became lazy and inactive after dating Chen Jianguo, and was clearly no match for Fatty Lao Si.

The fourth brother had won an award for throwing the shot put at school. When kids fight, they don't hold back, and three punches were enough to make Liu Rui's nose bleed.

Chen Jianguo's eyes widened. Good heavens, his wife, whom he cherished and treated like a precious gem, was being beaten right in front of him. What was even more infuriating was that the one who did it was his most despised, simple-minded fourth brother.

He had originally planned to wait for the old man or his younger siblings to come and mediate, but seeing his wife's face turn red, he couldn't wait any longer and swung his arm and charged forward.

Very good!

If it weren't for his status, Chen Deshun would have applauded. Seeing Chen Jianguo trying to take sides, he kicked the second brother.

"Second brother, third brother, your eldest brother is about to take sides, and you two are just standing here staring blankly?"

if not?

The second son was already overjoyed, eager to stand and watch the excitement. If he could also have a bag of sunflower seeds to crack open, that would be absolutely wonderful.

Turning his head, he met Chen Deshun's gloomy gaze. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed back all his dissatisfaction.

The old man's meaning was clear: if he and his third brother didn't go and help, they would be the next ones to get punished.

An old man might hesitate to hit his daughter-in-law, but he would feel absolutely no psychological pressure to hit his son.

Besides, he's not married yet and still needs his father's money. At this crucial moment, he can't afford to offend the God of Wealth.

"Chen Jianguo, if you dare touch Lao Si, don't blame me for being impolite."

Chen Jianye shouted, grabbed Chen Jianguo's arm, and shoved him backward forcefully.

Chen Jianguo was thrown off balance and stumbled against the wall. He barely managed to suppress the urge to beat up his second son. He couldn't help but restrain himself; he'd always been a student, never been in a fight, and had never done any hard labor. His second son, on the other hand, had been a troublemaker since childhood, and he genuinely couldn't beat him. All he could do was angrily rebuke him:

"Second brother, are you insane! The eldest brother is like a father to me, how dare you lay a hand on me!"

The second son rolled his eyes at him: "Come on, Dad's alive and well, what kind of father are you?"

Chen Jianguo's face turned pale and then red. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Liu Rui scream:

"Hey! Chen Jianguo! You cowardly wimp! You watched your wife get beaten up and didn't even come to help. Are you even a man?!"

Hearing his wife's cursing, Chen Jianguo could no longer contain himself and rushed over. His second son, quick-witted and agile, struck first, throwing a punch at Chen Jianguo's face.

boom!

This punch was somewhat driven by personal grudges.

Chen Jianguo saw stars, his nose was bleeding profusely, and he stumbled back several steps before crashing into the door with a loud bang.

The third brother hadn't locked the door when he opened it, and he pushed it open with his butt. But that wasn't all. Chen Jianguo looked up, still dizzy, and saw a large group of old neighbors gathered outside, craning their necks and whispering like Donald Duck.

"Hey, Old Chen, have you eaten yet? What's all the fuss about at home? It's so lively!"
