When Mother Chen sent her son and daughter-in-law to invite his family to her house, Old master Fu already had a rough idea of what was going on in her head. He knew Mother Chen's personality and was very much aware of how petty she was, even though Father Chen knew better, he was one of those men who cared about his face more than anything else. Even though he might be upset with Mother Chen for speaking these words just now, he wouldn't scold her in front of everyone.
Sure enough.
Father Chen glared at his wife but did not say anything to stop her, Old master Fu's face turned gloomy after hearing what Mother Chen has to say, though he never said anything only having one great-grandson was his sore spot, his friends had more than one great-grandchildren and they will often poke his heart by showing off their great-grandchildren, though he never thought that there was anything wrong with not having a lot of great-grandchildren, it could still be counted as his throbbing nerve.
He stared at Madam Chen who was smiling gently and then said indifferently, " My granddaughters-in-law are busy with their own thing and they both are still young there is no need for Madam Chen to be worried about them."
Father Chen too felt that his wife was going too far. He knew that his wife was unhappy because of what happened last night, the soldiers on patrol have told them that the Fu family members were not kind to their daughter and even treated her rudely. He was upset as well but there was no need for his wife to go head-on with old master Fu and create trouble in their friendship.
He glared at his wife and reminded her not to go too far, his gaze dropped to the unsightly expressions of the members of the Fu family and sighed. He did not agree to this at all, he even told his wife to drop the matter and forget it but before he could stop her, she already called Old master Fu and the rest of the Fu family to their house by sending their son and daughter in law, by the time he learned that the Fu family was coming to their house it was already too late.
Father Chen tried to stop his wife as he tugged on her sleeves, he knew that this was no different than making use of their authority in the military district, but Mother Chen was a headstrong woman. Once she was bent on doing something no matter how many times someone stopped her, she would not stop. Father Chen could only watch her pull her sleeves away while smiling at Old master Fu with an expression that clearly showed that she was looking for trouble.
He turned to look at Old master Fu and apologized seeing that his wife was not willing to stop.
Old master Fu did not say anything but he waved his hand indicating that he will not look for trouble with their family, after all, he knew what kind of woman, Madam Chen was. And he did not want to fight with a woman lest everyone said that he was finding fault with her and more importantly, he has heard the rumours of what happened last night.
Even though they got exaggerated to the point where his second grandson became the devil himself and threw Chen Chu Chu out of the house, he understood that they were at the fault first, if he was to make a big fuss others would say that he was making things difficult for the Chen family deliberately.
But old master Fu was very upset with Madam Chen's way of dealing with things!
Father Chen noticed that the Old master Fu was upset and thus he immediately changed the topic as he started to talk to Fu Chen. The child seemed to be very good and smart in Father Chen's view, and the more he talked to Fu Chen, the more he realised that the small kid was indeed rather smart. He was such an outstanding kid when he was young, surely he was going to be ten steps ahead of his father when he grows up!
He looked at his grandchildren who were fighting over a small toy and then looked at Fu Chen who was sitting calmly next to his mother. Sure enough, the child of the Fu family was really amazing!
If there was no comparison there will be no trouble at all but now that Father Chen had someone to compare his grandchildren with, he could not help but scold them a little for creating trouble in front of the guests.
" Look at brother Chen, he is sitting so calmly with his parents." Father Chen pulled his grandson onto his lap and then patted him on the back. " You are older than brother Chen and yet you are creating a fuss like this, what will brother Chen think?"
Father Chen's grandson was nine years old and was a year older than Fu Chen who was sitting obediently on his mother's side. When Fu Chen heard his name, he looked up at Father Chen's grandson who rolled his eyes at him and poked his tongue at him.
Fu Chen: "..." how childish.
He turned to look at his mother who patted him on the head and said, " Chen Chen is a very polite child."
He wasn't a polite child, he wanted to throw fists at the grandson of that old grandpa just like his father but he will resist since his mother said so! Sigh, being a good son was really difficult!
Father Chen also saw the actions of his grandson but he could not hit his grandson in front of others, he sighed and then continued to talk with Old master Fu.
Mother Chen who saw that her husband was not saying anything to Old master Fu nor was he asking him to apologize to them was a bit unhappy. She looked at her husband who was not mentioning the incident from the last night and was happily chatting with Old master Fu and stomped her feet furiously!
