1987 My Era

Chapter 119, Outbreak, Mother-Daughter Battle (Subscribe!)
On the other side, the Chen family.

At this time, everyone in the Chen family had just finished dinner and gathered on the sofa, watching Chen Zitong rush in.

Including Zhong Lan and Chen Xiaomi.

Including the two sisters Chen Xiaohong and Chen Xiaoyun who rushed over after hearing the news.

Chen Xiaomi raised her right wrist to look at her watch and was the first to ask her niece:

"Zitong, why did you come back just now?"

Chen Zitong said nothing, rolled his eyes around, glanced at his mother, then at his eldest aunt and second aunt, and finally stretched out a hand to Chen Xiaomi.

Seeing this, Zhong Lan snorted coldly and was about to flare up again.

Chen Zitong was so scared that he moved a little further away from his mother, but his right hand was still stretched out towards his aunt.

Chen Xiaomi found it funny, thinking that this little niece's obsession with money was similar to that of someone else, so she asked her, "Money is not a problem. Tell me about what happened today."

Chen Zitong shook his head like a rattle, "Aunt, give me 10 yuan first, and I will make sure that the news I tell you will not be in vain."

Second Aunt Chen Xiaohong asked: "What news is worth 10 yuan?"

Chen Zitong shouted: "Second Aunt, this news is so shocking that it will shock the heavens and the earth. You will definitely be shocked when I tell you. 10 yuan is already a friendly price."

Seeing that the sister-in-law was about to get angry, Chen Xiaomi took out her wallet, took out a big unity note, and handed it to her.
Chen Zitong grabbed the money almost as if he was robbing it, quickly put it into his pocket, and then reached out again.

Chen Xiaomi asked: "Why? More?"

Chen Zitong said: "10 yuan is the information reward. I had dinner outside, a bowl of noodles, and spent my own money. You have to compensate me yuan."

Aunt Chen Xiaoyun also laughed at this time, "Why are noodles so expensive? 1 yuan?"

Chen Zitong argued, "Of course I didn't just eat noodles. There are so many delicious foods on the roadside. I bought whatever I wanted. Anyway, I can get reimbursed when I come back."

In order to get the news as soon as possible, Chen Xiaomi took out another 1.5 yuan and stuffed it into her hand: "Can you tell me now?"

"Of course, money talks, so of course I can talk."

Chen Zitong completely ignored the sullen expressions of the elders, sat down on the sofa, and began to speak vividly:
"My sister dressed up like a fairy today. She happily descended from the sky to the second floor of the hotel like a hungry lady."

At this point, she paused and looked at the aunts with envy: "I know the hotel room number, it's only 5 cents."

Chen Xiaohong actually gave her 5 cents and joked, "You will definitely be a good business person in the future."

After the money was pocketed, Chen Zitong danced with joy and said, "I saw my sister walk to room 208, raised her hand and knocked on the door, but there was no response.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door again. This time the door opened. She and the man inside the door stared at each other for a long time. Suddenly, a pair of big hands stretched out from the door like lightning and hugged my sister's waist.

There was another "bang" and the door closed.

Seeing that his mother and three aunts were listening attentively, Chen Zitong kept the secret:

"Want to know how long my sister was in the room? What happened? 4 bucks."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn. Seeing his mother and aunts staring at him without blinking, Chen Zitong felt a little scared and immediately shouted:
"Half price, I'll give you half price, 2 bucks, last charge, and send them what they had for dinner tonight?"

Zhong Lan was furious. She couldn't wait to know what was going on. She growled, "Speak!"

Chen Zitong lowered his head like an ostrich, sticking to his bottom line of not asking for money.

Zhong Lan urged: "Do you want to be beaten?"

Chen Zitong muttered: "Friendly reminder, my sister and Sister Wu from the restaurant said: Li Heng is her boyfriend, and they were engaged in their hometown."

After hearing this, the four of them looked at each other for a while, and Chen Xiaomi decisively paid another 2 yuan: "Don't play tricks again, or I won't give you money in the future."

Money makes things easier, Chen Zitong used his character to guarantee, "I will definitely finish it in one breath.

It is said that as soon as the door was closed, it was quiet inside for a while, and then the door started to bang. Ha, this is my exaggeration. Don't look at me like that. I feel uncomfortable.

Then the curtains were drawn shut. Later, do you really want to listen? Li Heng is really fierce."

Zhong Lan had probably guessed what was going to happen next, and was immediately out of breath with anger. She glared and said, "If you dare to stop again, I'll tear your mouth apart."

“Isn’t this the case for all book reviews and operas?”

Chen Zitong complained and continued, "It lasted from 1:2 pm to 5:41 pm before the two of them went out.

I calculated it and it's 4 hours and 39 minutes."

As soon as these words were spoken, the living room fell into deathly silence!

It seemed as if it was filled with a terrifying aura, so eerie and scary!
Zhong Lan's eyes were as dark as water, and his hands were clenched, as if he might explode at any time.

Seeing her sister-in-law like this, Chen Xiaoyun quickly broke the silence and asked, "Did you really stay in the room for so long in the broad daylight?"

Chen Zitong displayed his professionalism, "It was real. I ran outside the hotel to look at the window, and then ran to the door to listen to the noise inside. The hotel staff wanted to chase me away, but I told them I was Uncle Zhou and they didn't do anything to me."

Uncle Zhou is a deputy director and a classmate of Chen Gaoyuan. They have a very close relationship and the entire area is under his jurisdiction.

After hearing this, Chen Xiaohong said to Chen Xiaoyun, "Sister, it's best not to spread the news about Zijin in the hotel room. Brother hasn't come back yet. You are the most familiar with Zhou Jian among us, so give him a call and give him some instructions."

Although she was sure that Zhou Jian would not gossip, Chen Xiaoyun still did not dare to be careless. She immediately picked up the landline and dialed the number. The matter was resolved in a short while.

Chen Xiaomi asked, "What happened next?"

Chen Zitong realized that the atmosphere was not right, so he poured out everything he knew like pouring beans.

What's for dinner for two?
Where to go shopping after dinner?

What gifts did you buy?
What clothes did Li Heng wear today? What hairstyle did he have? Etc…

Of course, she also asked Sister Wu from the restaurant and told her all that.

After hearing her words, an idea popped into the minds of the three aunts: What does it mean to love what you do? This is called professionalism. Although it is a bit expensive, it is definitely worth the money.

However, although the money is worth it, it cannot eliminate the heavy feeling in the hearts of several people.

Especially Zhong Lan, who was like a volcano about to erupt at this moment. Even though she was sitting there motionless, the three sisters-in-law could clearly feel her anger that was about to be suppressed.

No one present was stupid. Chen Zijin, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, behaved like a lady from a noble family in other aspects. However, once she encountered something related to Li Heng, she seemed to be poisoned by love and would not listen to any advice, and she often had unpleasantness with her family.

Their intuition told them that everything Zijin did today was intentional, and she did it for her family to see, for them to see.

The purpose is self-evident: to send a signal to the family not to try to separate the two.

As the atmosphere became more and more depressing, and as the eldest sister-in-law's eyes became more and more gloomy, Chen Xiaomi, who had met Li Heng in Shao City and was most deeply touched, stood up:

"Sister-in-law, it's still early, how about we go out for a walk? Or watch a movie?"

Zhong Lan said angrily, "I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait for her to come back."

Seeing this, the few people who knew their sister-in-law's temper stopped trying to persuade her. They all looked towards the door, waiting for Chen Zijin to come back.

In the anxious waiting, time passed by...

However, before Chen Zijin arrived, Chen Gaoyuan, who was returning home from get off work, arrived.

Chen Gaoyuan asked as soon as he entered the room: "What happened? Why do you all look like this?"

Chen Zitong turned around and said, "Dad, my sister went to see Li Heng and hasn't come back yet."

Chen Gaoyuan glanced at the time. It was 7:21.
He smiled and said, "It's still early. It's not completely dark yet."

Chen Zitong added quietly: "Sister and Li Heng stayed in the hotel room for more than four hours."

Chen Gaoyuan stopped laughing all of a sudden. He put down his bag with his right hand, sat on the other side and asked, "What's going on? Tell me."

Chen Zitong recounted what he knew.

After the little daughter finished speaking, Zhong Lan suddenly asked, "Chen Gaoyuan, do you still dare to believe her now?"

Chen Gaoyuan looked embarrassed. He had just said at noon that he would trust Zijin, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly. "Where are they?" Chen Zitong replied, "They are out shopping. They should be back soon."

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

Just as Chen Zitong finished speaking, the sound of the courtyard door closing was heard outside.

Then the footsteps got closer and closer, and a figure in a sky blue floral dress appeared at the door.

As soon as Chen Zijin appeared, all eyes in the room turned to him.

Sensing that something was wrong with their mood, Chen Zijin at the door hesitated for a moment, but the next second he calmly walked towards the crowd.

"Dad, you are back."

"Aunt, Aunt, you are here too."

After greeting everyone, Chen Zijin put down the gifts and prepared to go into the bedroom to change clothes.

Although the dress was new and she had worn it for the second time today, someone was too involved in it and there was a small tear in one place. The front of the dress was also bitten by him for a long time and had some wrinkles. She wanted to wash it and iron it.

Of course, the dress outside is still okay, and you may not notice anything unusual at first glance.

But the clothes inside were completely damaged. One of the straps was about to break. She was very nervous all the way here.

Seeing her daughter greet her three sisters-in-law but not herself, seeing her daughter calling Gao Yuan but not herself, and seeing her daughter's arrogant attitude of going straight back to the bedroom, Zhong Lan's emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly burst out:

"Where are you going? Come back here and stand still!"

Chen Zijin ignored her and continued walking towards the bedroom with her right hand covering her left shoulder. Just now she clearly felt that the strap was broken.

Zhong Lan stood up with a bang and shouted, "What? Now that you have a man outside, you don't care about me as your mother?
That little thing came to see you, did he really think you were favored? As soon as he met you, he locked you in the room for the whole afternoon, just for your body!"

The flames of war, unexpectedly and unsurprisingly, suddenly broke out!
When Chen Zijin heard her mother using her status to put pressure on her, she knew that her mother was angry and wanted to vent, so she didn't oppose her. She turned around and sat down next to her sister in frustration.

Zhong Lan's anger was still rising at this moment, and he was still verbally outputting: "If he really had you in his heart, if he really wanted to do it for your own good, why would he force you to do that in broad daylight?

You are so good! You have given up your reputation, your home, and your parents for him. I have raised you for nothing!"

These words were too harsh to hear. Chen Gaoyuan wanted to speak, but was glared back at by his wife. He knew that his wife was very angry and it would be useless for him to say anything.

Chen Zijin glanced at Chen Zitong, and the betrayer Chen Zitong immediately lowered his head, tangled his hands together, and dared not say a word.

Chen Zijin retorted with an empty look in his eyes: "He didn't force me, I was willing, I asked him to carry me to the bed."

"You! You! You are going to piss me off to death!" Zhong Lan's chest heaved violently. He pointed at his eldest daughter and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.

The three sisters Chen Xiaomi, Chen Xiaohong and Chen Xiaoyun looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes. They didn't expect that their eldest niece would be so aggressive today. She even dared to say something like "carry her to bed". This was simply treason in the Chen family!

Finally, it was the eldest sister Chen Xiaoyun who spoke to comfort her: "Sister-in-law, calm down. The noise is too loud and the neighbors will hear it."

Having lost someone once in her hometown, this statement really worked. Zhong Lan took a deep breath, calmed down a little, stared at her eldest daughter and said, "You are an adult now, and you are not a child anymore. Why don't you be more careful? Huh? Why are you still so stupid?
Why did you take the initiative to deliver it to me today? How could he succeed?
You are a woman, and you don't respect yourself. You will be the one who suffers in bed. It's nothing if he pulls up his pants. When he gets tired of you in the future, he will turn around and find someone else. Then you will cry to death!"

Seeing that her daughter remained silent, Zhong Lan became angrier and angrier, and her blood pressure rose as she thought about it. Her voice unconsciously became louder: "He is famous now, and he has some money in his pocket. It would be fine if he studied in Beijing for four years.

If you go to another place, I don't think you can hold on! I have never seen such a fool, he is just treating you like a fool."

Seeing that her daughter was silent, Zhong Lan pushed her husband's hand away and fiercely asked, "Where is that little thing? You dared to go against the family for him, so why didn't he dare to come home for you?
Ah? Are you afraid of losing face? Or holding a grudge? Or are you playing with you and have something to hide?"

Chen Zijin turned his head away and still ignored her.

Zhong Lan clenched his right fist and punched the coffee table: "Speak! I want to talk to you!"

The blow was delivered with anger and the sound was so loud that it startled everyone in the room.

Chen Zijin turned around and said unyieldingly, "He's not a small thing. He has a name, Li Heng. Why did he come to our house alone? Did he want you to beat him up?"

When they heard the word "gang beating", Chen Xiaomi, Chen Xiaohong and Chen Xiaoyun felt a little uncomfortable, but at this juncture, they did not come out to criticize anything.

Chen Gaoyuan tried to smooth things over by asking, "Zijin, where is Li Hengren now?"

Chen Zijin said, "We'll send her to the entrance of the alley and then go back."

Then she added: "I let him go."

The words "I let him go" made the room quiet. This seemingly simple sentence revealed many hidden issues in the past.

First, it was the first time that Chen Zijin publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with his mother and his three aunts.

Second, it exposed the irreconcilable contradictions between the Chen and Li families.

Was it really Zijin who let Li Heng go?

Not necessarily.

Everyone in the room worked within the system and they were all smart people. After a little thought, they understood: Li Heng had a grudge against the Chen family, and it was quite a grudge.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have slept with someone else's daughter and refused to go in when he arrived at the door.

In order to verify her guess, Chen Xiaomi asked, "Did Li Heng buy this gift?"

Chen Zijin hummed.

Chen Xiaomi asked again: "Who did you buy it for?"

Chen Zijin said, "For grandpa."

Listen, listen. Chen Xiaomi glanced at everyone. It was obvious that Li Heng only bought gifts for the old man but not for anyone else.

Especially Zijin’s elder brother and sister-in-law, who are his parents, have no share.

This is obviously a situation of closeness mixed with estrangement, and many things are almost laid out on the table.

Seeing the essence through the phenomenon, Chen Gaoyuan sighed: "You guys went too far back then. It seems that Run'e is very resentful of our family."

Zhong Lan snorted, "We are going too far? If it were her, she would be even worse!"

Chen Zijin said at this time: "I told you, I did it willingly, why do you keep blaming him?"

Zhong Lan emphasized: "You are still helping him out of your own accord. Just wait! If you don't listen to the advice of an old man, you will suffer in the future!"

Hearing this, Chen Zijin stood up again and walked towards the bedroom, saying, "I chose this person myself, so even if there is suffering, I will bear it."

Chen Zijin returned to the bedroom, leaving everyone there stunned!
In the past, although Chen Zijin also talked back and often disagreed with Zhong Lan on the issue of Li Heng, the intensity had never been as strong as it is today, and the scope of influence had never been as wide as it is today.

This is the first time, it's unprecedented.

Chen Zitong curled up and shivered. If he had known his sister was so fierce, he would have refused to earn the money today with tears in his eyes. He prayed that his sister would be magnanimous and forget about him afterwards.

Zhong Lan almost vomited blood: "Look at this! Look at this! As soon as that bastard came, her wings hardened and she was about to fly. I'm so mad! I'm so mad!!!"

At this moment, the little thing in Zhong Lan's mouth finally upgraded to a bastard, which shows how angry he is.

Chen Xiaomi poured a cup of tea for everyone and said, "Sister-in-law, no matter how wrong Zijin is, she is still your daughter. Don't be so angry. She is grown up, and this will affect your mother-daughter relationship."

Zhong Lan raised her eyebrows: "When she grows up, she won't be my flesh anymore? Let's see what she can do!"

Then, Zhong Lan said, “No, I have to meet that bastard tomorrow. I want to see what’s different about him after he becomes a writer.

Don't really think that you can do whatever you want just because you're a writer. We in the Chen family won't spoil him."

If Li Heng and his wife were to meet, one with anger and the other with resentment, sparks might fly and things would get even worse. Chen Gaoyuan stepped in and said:

"Lanlan, drink some tea and calm down. I'll go see Li Heng tomorrow."

Chen Xiaomi followed up and said, "Brother, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Chen Zitong thought he had heard it wrong, and finally raised his head, "Aunt, you are also Li Heng's enemy."
