Chapter 68: My sister's fennel noodles still taste just as good!
"Dad, what can't you tell me?"
“My son was unfilial and a bastard before!”
"But now, it's different."
“I am capable of being the pillar of the family, it’s time for you and Mom to take a break.”
Chen Le nodded and said earnestly.
The elderly father finally voiced his concerns.
Such a strong old man admits he's getting old!
There are many things I'm no longer able to do.
At this point, you can only rely on yourself.
"Dad, don't worry about that, I'll only get better and better!"
"From now on, our family will never have to worry about money again."
Chen Le said with great confidence.
"I can rest assured that!"
"My son has made something of himself, it's time for Old Chen to enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren, hahaha!"
Chen Bolin tapped his pipe and grinned as he spoke!
"Dad, I'll take care of my sister's matter right away. I'm going to Linhe Town now!"
Chen Le smiled and said goodbye to his father.
He kissed his daughter and then informed Su Xi and his mother.
Then he drove the Alphard that Chu Yaoyang had driven yesterday, heading towards Linhe Town!
……
Linhe Town.
Pingyang Residential Area.
Chen Le arrived at the door of the room where his eldest sister lived.
I knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response.
He sighed and had no choice but to go outside.
I happened to see an old man lying in a rocking chair, sunbathing.
"Grandpa, did Chen Dongmei go out today?"
Chen Le asked.
The old man slowly opened his eyes and asked in confusion, "Chen what Mei?"
"Chen Dongmei, grandpa!"
Chen Le scratched his head and raised his voice.
"What winter plum?"
The old man seemed to have a hearing problem and asked again.
"List……"
Chen Le was speechless. "Alright, sir, you can cool off now."
I had just turned around when I saw a simply dressed woman pushing a dilapidated electric scooter as she walked over.
When Chen Le saw the woman, his face lit up with joy.
"Miss!"
Chen Le hurriedly stepped forward.
This woman is none other than the eldest sister, Chen Dongmei, who works in a screw factory and works very hard every day.
"Second brother, what brings you here? Are you out of money again?"
"Never go home and ask your parents for money!"
"Come find me if you run out of money, don't let your parents worry!"
Upon seeing Chen Le, Chen Dongmei casually parked her electric scooter to the side and pulled Chen Le upstairs.
Chen Le sighed.
The eldest sister is still the same as always.
She is filial, but also easily influenced.
Even so, she still loves her younger siblings very much.
I always give them money when they ask, and I spoil my younger siblings.
For his younger brother's sake, he didn't even buy a house and started renting instead.
No wonder her brother-in-law's family always talks about her being a "brother-supporting demon."
"Chen Dongmei, what about last month's rent?!"
"If you don't pay up, get out of here!"
The old man who had been sunbathing stood up unsteadily, looking very angry.
Her face turned red with anger, and she actually called out her eldest sister's full name.
"Hey, Old Deng, how dare you talk like that!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Le raised his fist indignantly.
"Ah Le, stop!"
Chen Dongmei gave a simple, honest smile and said, "This old man is kind and soft-hearted. He scolds me every time, but he keeps postponing it!"
"I forgot to pay the electricity bill last month, and the old man paid for it for me!"
Chen Le awkwardly withdrew his fist and bowed to the old man: "Grandpa, I was wrong just now."
"Humph!"
"Dare to call me Old Deng? I'll raise your sister's rent by a hundred tomorrow! Fine, I'll raise it by ten..."
The old man snorted and continued basking in the sun with an air of arrogance.
Chen Le: ...
It seems my older sister was right.
This old man is truly stubborn but soft-hearted.
This method of revenge is truly benevolent.
"Squeak-"
Chen Dongmei had already taken off her gloves.
He took out the key and opened the door.
As the door opened, the interior decoration of the room could be vaguely seen.
The room was small, but very clean.
But the shoes in the house didn't belong to my brother-in-law; they only belonged to my sister.
Chen Le's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a chill run through him.
"sister……"
"I heard from my parents that you...you and your brother-in-law got divorced?"
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Le finally asked a question tentatively!
As Chen Le finished speaking, Chen Dongmei's eyes widened, then her gaze quickly dimmed.
"Don't listen to your parents' nonsense, I didn't..."
"I... I'm just temporarily separated from your brother-in-law because we're both too busy with work."
"Your brother-in-law is with the child."
Chen Dongmei stammered as she packed her shoes.
Chen Le understood instantly.
My eldest sister has never been able to lie since she was a child.
It seems she really has divorced her brother-in-law.
"Sis, tell me, what exactly happened between you and your husband!"
Chen Le asked again.
"Don't ask, it's none of your business!"
Chen Dongmei immediately shut up, refusing to say anything.
Chen Le sighed, knowing it would be difficult to get the answer out of her sister.
"Second brother, don't worry about me. Are you hungry? Sit down for a while, I'll cook you a bowl of fennel noodles."
Chen Dongmei went straight into the kitchen and started working.
Chen Le sat on the old sofa, listening to his older sister's nagging, lost in thought.
I remembered when I was little, my parents would go to work in the fields, and when my older sister came home from school, she would stand on a chair in front of the stove to cook noodles for her younger siblings.
After finishing the noodles, the eldest sister watched over her younger siblings doing their homework, just like a stepmother!
As he thought about it, Chen Le couldn't help but smile.
Unexpectedly, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
They each have their own homes now, and their brothers and sisters have all grown up.
The time we spend together has also become less.
After my eldest sister got married, she also started her own family.
But that couldn't stop her from being kind-hearted; she still cared a lot about her younger siblings.
It has never changed over the years.
"Dangdang!"
From the kitchen came the sound of pots and pans breaking.
There was also a scream from the older sister.
"It's okay, don't come any closer!"
"Sister is amazing!"
As Chen Dongmei tidied up, she muttered to herself, "This is really strange, why can't I hold it steady anymore..."
"May you be safe and sound, may you be safe and sound..."
"Amitabha Buddha, may you have great fortune and prosperity..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Le's nose instantly stung and her eyes reddened.
Sometimes, the eldest sister is like the pillar and support of this family.
No matter how many troubles I encountered, I endured them all on my own.
Even when they couldn't hold on any longer, they gritted their teeth and persevered.
Even now, having been reduced to renting a place to live, I have no complaints.
His son, however, has spent all these years indulging in drinking, gambling, and prostitution, failing to support the family.
Because of his own actions, his older sister even got divorced.
This made Chen Le feel even more guilty.
A few minutes later!
Chen Dongmei brought the noodles to Chen Le.
"You've loved my noodles since you were little."
"Quick, eat it while it's hot and see if my skills have dropped!"
Chen Dongmei said with a smile.
Chen Le suppressed her urge to cry and picked up the bowl to eat in large mouthfuls.
Despite the scarcity of ingredients, it tastes better and better the more you eat it.
He ate a large bowl of noodles in just a few bites.
"good to eat."
Chen Le looked up and said with a smile, "Even if this bowl of noodles cost ten million, I would still think it's worth it."
"Silly boy, you think you're so capable? You've only earned a few cents, and you're already talking about ten million!"
Chen Dongmei clicked her tongue in amazement and got up to offer Chen Lesheng some face, but Chen Le pulled her back.
