Chapter 45: Old Man Chu Gets Angry

  Lu Shi, who had been taken advantage of, was unwilling to give up and simply didn't get up from the ground, crying loudly and uncontrollably.

  "That's enough! All of you shut up!" Old Master Chu couldn't help but speak again.

  What Old Master Chu said was still quite intimidating, and Lu Shi, who had just been wailing like crazy, suddenly stopped making a sound. Her face, covered in tears and dust, became even more comical after she wiped it left and right, turning into a big flower face. Not to mention that her whole body shook as she sobbed uncontrollably, looking extremely ridiculous.

  The house was finally quiet, with no one wailing or shouting. Guifang thought her ears could finally get a rest. But this peace didn't last long. Suddenly, Xu's wife let out a loud shriek, as if someone had stepped on her tail.

  "You good-for-nothing kids! I've worked myself to the bone, pinching pennies and sacrificing for you all, how did it come to this?! Not a single one of you is considerate, watch out or heaven will strike you with five thunderbolts!!"

  Chu Lao Ye, who had been frowning all along, furrowed his brow even more tightly after hearing Xu Shi's words. "Alright, you've just finished talking about the kids, and now you're still going on? If you regret giving birth to them, then put them back in your belly one by one, or else strangle them to death one by one, so as to spare you all this daily worry."

  Chu Lao Ye Zi, who had never spoken so many words to Xu Shi before, opened his mouth and said such words, without any intention of coaxing Xu Shi.

  Xu was stunned by Old Man Chu's words, and didn't come to her senses until he stopped talking. Then she shouted loudly: "This life can't be lived like this! You old thing also don't think I'm pleasing to the eye, right? You old scoundrel, you've taken a liking to that old deadbeat, haven't you? What's wrong, do you think I'm in the way? I'll go die, I'll go serve as your grave dirt!"

  Xu's eyes really welled up with tears this time. She and Chu Zhenghai had been married for so many years, but they had never experienced such a scene before.

  Although the two of them would occasionally bicker when they were young, Chu Zheng He would never say anything too harsh. Even if he did say something unpleasant, it was always behind closed doors and only between the two of them.

  But today, Mr. Chu not only scolded Mrs. Xü but also did so in front of all the children and grandchildren, which naturally made her feel very embarrassed and brought tears to her eyes.

  Mr. Chu was choked by Mrs. Xu's words, and he didn't expect that after living together for 40 years, they would end up with such a mess, how could Mr. Chu not be angry?

  Everyone saw that the old couple was about to quarrel again and rushed forward to persuade them.

  Even Chu Liwan, who had been stunned for a long time, came back to her senses and whispered to persuade her own mother.

  Chu Lishou and Chu Lixin were persuading Old Master Chu, fearing that he would get angry because of this fire.

  It took a good half day's effort for the old couple to calm down. Mr. Chu also stopped speaking harshly, and Mrs. Xu, in a rare occurrence, refrained from scolding heaven and earth, only occasionally wiping away tears and snot with her sleeve as she continued to listen to Chu Liwen's words of persuasion.

  The atmosphere in the room has finally returned to a relatively calm state.

  "Alas!" Old Master Chu suddenly let out a deep sigh, which was heart-wrenching to hear.
