Old Man Chen took a deep breath and said, "Okay, since you said so, I'll give you a chance to explain."

Chen Lang still smiled: "Dad, I don't need this opportunity."

"You want to know the truth? Ask Mother and Qian. They know better than me."

"If you want to ask me, then I'll just say one thing: I robbed it."

Old Man Chen cursed angrily, "You evil son, are you trying to piss me off to death?"

Chen Lang said coldly: "Did I make you suffer this anger?"

"As the head of the family, when you judge family affairs, you only listen to the opinions of one party, without even asking for the opinions of the other party. You insist that it's all Guoguo's fault, and even come to me to ask for an explanation. Tell me yourself, who is it that made you so angry?"

Old Man Chen subconsciously raised his hand, but then realized that Chen Lang would fight back, so he retracted his hand and said, "Even if what you said makes sense, Yueyue is still a child. She cried all afternoon because you stole her things. As her uncle, shouldn't you apologize to her?"

Chen Lang said, "Sure. Let her apologize to Guoguo first, and then let Guoguo slap her in the face. Then the matter will be over."

Old man Chen was stunned: "A slap in the face?"

"Chen Lang, are you crazy? Is this something an uncle can say? Do you still act like an elder?"

Chen Lang was getting a little impatient and said, "Dad, I'm very tired. I don't want to keep arguing with you about this."

"Anyway, this matter is not our family's fault. If you insist it is our fault, I admit it, but if you want me to apologize, there is no way."

"I just took back Guoguo's things. I was very considerate of her by not beating her up."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house again.

Old man Chen was so angry that he was spinning around in circles, muttering to himself, "This is a rebellion, this is a rebellion!"

"Stop!"

"Over the years, your family has provided you with food, drink, and even paid for your education, and this is how you repay us? Not even an animal would do such a thing!"

Chen Lang's steps paused slightly, and his fists slowly clenched.

After a moment of silence, Chen Lang turned around and said, "Dad, are you sure you want to bring up old scores with me?"

Old Man Chen roared, "Did I say that wrong?"

Chen Lang's voice was even louder than his: "You haven't said a single word correctly!"

"Since I was a child, have I ever had a full meal at home? Have I ever worn warm clothes?"

"When I went to school, did you ever give me half a copper?

"In order to have enough food and clothes, and to go to school, I had to do all those petty thefts, but not only did you not stop me, you encouraged me. Is there any parent in the world who would encourage their child to be a thief?"

"I saved up the money for Xiuzhi's wedding gift myself, but you took away most of the dowry her family gave you, saying it was for my brother's wedding. Did I ever say a word of objection back then?!"

"I finally passed the examination and was awarded a tongsheng (a student), and the government gave me a monthly stipend of fifty coins. I never saw any of this money, and it was all taken away by you and your mother. Did I say anything?"

"Now you come to me and tell me you have no shame after raising me since I was a child. I want to ask you, do you have any shame?"

After shouting these words, Chen Lang felt particularly comfortable. At the same time, a strong obsession deep in his soul also disappeared because of these words.

This should be the last thing Chen Erlang left in this body.

As for the reason why Chen Lang dared to yell like that, it was very simple. Deep down, he never regarded Old Man Chen and Mrs. Qin as his own parents, not to mention that these two were most likely just adoptive parents.

If there is not even the basic blood relationship, then there is no reason to spoil them.

These words left Old Man Chen speechless. He raised and put down his pipe several times.

After a long time, he let out a sigh.

"I didn't expect you to be so angry." Old man Chen sighed.

Chen Lang sneered, "Dad, what you mean is that I should be a taciturn person for the rest of my life, in order to meet your expectations?"

Old Man Chen hesitated and said, "Dad didn't mean that. Although some of what you said is true, didn't Dad buy you a pair of shoes when you were seven years old?"

"Then it was taken away by Chen Sanlang the next day. I went to ask him for it back, and you beat me up. Is that the case?" Chen Lang said sarcastically.

Old man Chen was completely speechless.

Seeing this, Chen Lang turned around and walked into the house again.

He was really tired and didn't want to continue to argue.

However, Qin Shi was not ready to let him go. After listening to Chen Lang's nonsense for a long time, Qin Shi saw that Chen Lang was about to leave. She could no longer suppress her anger and rushed out of the house, cursing heartbreakingly: "You ungrateful wolf, you unfilial son! Believe it or not, I will go to the government office to sue you tomorrow!"

Chen Lang raised his eyebrows and said with a forced smile, "Okay, go ahead and sue me."

"The worst that can happen is a beating and a deduction of fifty cents from your monthly allowance."

"I don't care. I've never seen that fifty cents anyway. If it's gone, it's gone."

Qin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously retorted: "Aren't you afraid of being beaten?"

Chen Lang said, "I'm afraid, but as long as I think that I can split the family business after being beaten, then this beating is worth it."

"Oh, it seems more and more like that. Mother, you must go to the government office tomorrow to sue me. If you don't want to walk, your son can give you ten cents to take the carriage of Liu Dabizi from the village."

Qin had never seen Chen Lang so difficult to deal with.

He was obviously very obedient before, how come he has become so difficult to deal with now?

Even the dismissal of Tongsheng couldn't threaten him? How could we discipline him in the future?

Qin was just an uneducated country woman. Once she couldn't gain the upper hand with words, she could only resort to throwing a tantrum.

Seeing that Qin was about to lie on the ground, Old Man Chen glared at her angrily and scolded in a low voice: "That's enough, don't you think it's not embarrassing enough?"

Qin's fear of Old Man Chen was ingrained in her bones, a bit like Li Xiuzhi's fear of Chen Lang before.

"Let this matter... just let it go, and no one should mention it anymore."

"You've worked hard all day, go back to your room and rest early."

Chen Lang snorted and turned to walk into the house.

No matter who comes out this time, he will ignore them.

After Chen Lang closed the door, Qin said angrily, "Old man, you just let him sleep like that? Yueyue has suffered so much injustice, he should at least give you some compensation. I see he has two big bones in his backpack, go get one and make soup for Yueyue."

For the first time, Old Man Chen felt that Qin was so annoying. Even after such a mess, she was still thinking about the bone stick that Chen Lang brought back.

So he said angrily, "If you want to ask for it, go ask for it yourself. I'm going to sleep now. I have to go to work tomorrow."

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked quickly towards his room.

Qin hesitated for a while, but ultimately did not have the courage to ask Chen Lang for the bone stick. She pointed at Chen Lang's door and cursed him as an "unfilial son" and a "wicked son" before returning to her room in disappointment.
