Chapter 64 - 64 63 Its Almost Time
?Chapter 64: Chapter 63: It’s Almost Time Chapter 64: Chapter 63: It’s Almost Time Mrs. Hu had been quite brazen about her demand and Chen Shi had found it embarrassing to refuse. However, he knew that Chen Ye was quite conscious of his reputation and, not wanting to admit it was because Mrs. Hu cried or stole that he gave in, claimed that his household was doing so well that they specifically gave gifts to the main house.
Mrs. Wang then narrated how Chen Shi fell into debt while working on the main house, and it was only a few months ago that he managed to clear his debts. The harsh financial situation could barely afford his family any meat to eat. Currently, they daren’t return to the village, fearful of the backlash.
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen burst into tears, hammering her chest with her fist in anger, cursing Mrs. Hu as a shameless hussy and the Hus as a bunch of no-goods. Regretting the decision to allow her eldest son to marry this home-wrecking witch. After her tears dried, she entrusted everyone present never to speak of Mrs. Hu’s crying and demanding for the house and jewelry, as it would bring shame on Chen Ye. Her eldest son, who was a contributor to the Chens and was highly conscious of his reputation, she wouldn’t want to impose that embarrassment on him.
However, Mrs. Hu’s temper tantrum at the second house and her role in Chen Ming’s illness should be reported to Chen Ye so that he could chastise her.
The reason why Chen Shi couldn’t confide in Chen Ye about this situation was due to Chen Ye already reaping the benefits. While they could bring up the second house issue because Chen Ye wasn’t directly involved as the benefits hadn’t been received yet.
Mrs. Chen also mentioned that she would reprimand Mrs. Hu on her return and teach her some manners, like scrubbing the pigsty. The only two ways Mrs. Chen had to reprimand Mrs. Hu were to complain about her to Chen Ye, and to assign her these menial tasks.
Chen Afu sighed inwardly. Mrs. Hu’s audacity of demanding so brazenly was because she knew that the more outrageous her behavior was, the less likely these people dared to bring it up with Chen Ye. In the Chen family, Chen Ye was like a god. If his pride was hurt and he lost face, Mrs. Chen would feel distressed and both Chen Ming and Chen Shi would be upset.
