This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chapter 264: Wang Erxiu and Chen Xue's mother and daughter clash

Chen Jiawang bent over, water dripping down his hair onto the ground. He wiped it casually with a towel and raised his head.

Liu Xianghua spat and counted the change: "Fifty, fifty-one...sixty-five...sixty-eight."

Liu Xianghua sorted the money into a pile and handed it to Chen Shuning: "My daughter, count it again. If there is no problem, let your second brother send it to Dajiang."

Li Zhen looked at the sewing machine with a smile on her face, and gently stroked it with her rough palm, exclaiming, "That's great!"

Liu Xianghua turned around and said with a smile, "Mom, I'll give you the money tomorrow when Aiguo gets off work."

This sewing machine cost 68 yuan, but Liu Xianghua didn't have that much money, and Chen Jiawang didn't want to owe her money, so Liu Xianghua took some from her mother-in-law.

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "No, we agreed that we will support you a little."

"Grandma, please don't refuse." Chen Jiawang poured the water in the basin onto the ground and said, "After the land is divided, I will go to the county to do odd jobs. We can live a good life, so you don't have to support us all the time."

The money Second and Third Uncles gave you was for you to save for your retirement. You and Grandpa are getting older and older, so you’ll inevitably need money, and we can’t take it.”

Chen Shuning counted the money, looked up and said, "Mom, 68 yuan is just right."

Chen Aiguo rode his bicycle into the yard. Seeing the sewing machine in the yard, he exclaimed, "Wow, you're quite quick! You pulled it back already?"

Chen Shuning handed the money to Chen Jiawang and looked up and shouted, "Dad, Zhou Dajiang found the sewing machine. Although it's second-hand, it's cheap.

I've made plans. Starting today, I won't let my mother go to work. I'll have her learn to sew on a sewing machine. In a few days, I'll go to the county and talk to my eldest brother about buying materials from the south to make hairpins..."

Chen Shuning's eyes were bright, full of longing for the future. Chen Aiguo looked at his daughter quietly, her chattering voice in his ears, a smile on his lips.

"Dad knows everything!" Chen Aiguo said solemnly: "Don't worry, Shuning, your mother and I will definitely cooperate with you."

"Dad, our family is united in purpose and effort. Sooner or later, we will live a good life!"

From the Chen family courtyard, bursts of laughter emanated, drifting far, far away...

Wang Erxiu leaned out to take a look and muttered, "What are you laughing at? Could it be Chen Shuning's admission letter?"

Li Baozhen craned her neck to peer into the alley and whispered, "No way! If she really gets into college, won't she be all over the place telling everyone about it?"

"Tsk..." Wang Erxiu rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "Why are you so arrogant every day? It's just that he studied a few more years... I think Chen Aiguo is just stupid.

He is so devoted to raising his daughter, but he never thinks that she will eventually belong to someone else. It would be great if he could earn such a high salary and support his son, who is his own family.

Li Baozhen pulled Wang Erxiu and winked at her desperately.

"Why are you pulling me?" Wang Erxiu stared into the alley and said dissatisfiedly, "Chen Shuning can't hear me..."

"Stop talking!" Li Baozhen reminded, "Your Chen Xue is here."

Chen Xue listened to every word Wang Erxiu said.

Her eyes were filled with tears and anger as she questioned, "Mom, so this is what you think. I was wondering why you wouldn't let me continue studying! So this is it..."

Wang Erxiu was so flustered that he didn't even bother to greet Li Baozhen and hurried into the yard.

"My daughter, listen to my explanation. That's not what I meant. I was just making fun of Chen Aiguo!"

"Why not? Mom, when I was in elementary school, my grades were no worse than Chen Shuning's. It was because you said our family wasn't well off and couldn't afford it that I gave up studying.

After all this fuss, you think that girls will belong to other families sooner or later, and you don’t want to waste money on me, right? Save money from me and save it for Chen Shan and Chen He... "

"My dear, I didn't ask you to study, but your two younger brothers didn't study either! They also stopped going to school after finishing elementary school..."

Li Baozhen walked in and pulled Chen Xue into the house, advising her as they walked: "Xue, listen to what I'm saying. Your mother definitely didn't mean that. She just felt uncomfortable seeing Chen Shuning taking the college entrance examination..."

Chen Xue's eyes were red, filled with resentment and grievance. When she was little, her grades were no worse than Chen Shuning's. If her parents were as open-minded as Chen Aiguo and Liu Xianghua, would she have been able to go to high school?

No, even if she finished junior high school, she could still take the college entrance examination. She had inquired and found that many of the candidates taking the college entrance examination this time had not even finished high school.

"Feeling uncomfortable now?" Chen Xue sneered, "Mom, if you had been able to support my studies back then, I would have been able to take the college entrance examination this time. Now you're jealous, but what were you doing before? You've ruined my life..."

Wang Erxiu looked at Chen Xue steadily. This was the daughter she raised with her own hands. How could she say such words?

Chen Xue felt wronged and choked up as she said, "You only know how to gossip about others. If you have the time to laugh at others, why don't you just make more money?

If my family had money, could I continue studying like Chen Shuning? Mom, you are too selfish and don’t consider me at all…”

Wang Erxiu's chest heaved violently, and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

"Snapped--"

The slap landed heavily on Chen Xue's cheek, leaving a bright red mark.

"Chen Xue, you disappoint me so much! How am I selfish? How am I partial? I have enough for you to eat and wear. You have everything your two brothers have!"

"Oh!" Li Baozhen pushed Wang Erxiu away and complained, "Erxiu, what are you doing? Chen Xue is so old, how could you have the heart to do that to her?"

Chen Xue stood there woodenly, looking at Wang Erxiu with hatred.

Li Baozhen held her shoulders and said distressedly, "My dear, your mother didn't mean it. She was just angry and her hands were a little quick..."

Chen Xue pushed Li Baozhen away with all her might and shouted angrily, "There's no need for you to be so hypocritical!"

Li Baozhen looked unhappy. Who had she offended?

"Humph!"

Chen Xue snorted, covered her cheeks and ran out.

"Hey, Chen Xue——"

Li Baozhen chased for a few steps, but seeing that Chen Xue was nowhere to be seen, she hurried back into the house.

Wang Erxiu stood there, staring blankly out the door, his hands clenched into fists, trembling slightly. There was a trace of regret and confusion on his face.

Li Baozhen took her hand and ran out, complaining, "Why did you hit the child? Chen Xue is 19 years old, not a child anymore. Can't you talk it out nicely?"

Chen Xue was no longer on the street. Li Baozhen stood on tiptoe and looked around, but couldn't find Chen Xue. She said anxiously, "Where did this child go? Don't do anything stupid!"

"I, I didn't mean to hit her. I was just too angry, and by the time I realized what was happening, I had already hit her."

Wang Erxiu explained with a choked voice.

"Baozhen, you know what kind of person I am. It's not that I'm rich but I don't want to spend it on my children, it's just that my family is broke!"

"When Chen Xue was young, she was sick. I was so hungry and in debt that I couldn't afford to pay for her education."

Li Baozhen ran a few steps and saw Wang Erxiu still crying there. She wanted to slap her twice.

Li Baozhen urged, "What's the point of saying that now? Hurry and find Chen Xue! Wang Erxiu, I'm telling you, if anything happens to Chen Xue, you'll regret it!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Erxiu sat on the ground and burst into tears: "Snow..."
