Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Chen Xingjia and Wu Fengchun happily held a graduation banquet for Chen Xuyan and Chen Qiuyun. They all received reward money from the province, which added up to a total of 5,000 yuan, which was really a huge sum of money for their family.

"Use it to buy a house. Haven't you and Dad wanted to buy that house for a long time? With this money, it should be enough. You have to ask Fourth Sister about the two thousand." In addition to this money, he also received a lot at the graduation banquet.

Wu Fengchun didn't think so. "I raised her to this age, it's good enough that I don't ask her for money. How can I give the money back to her?" Of course, sons and daughters are different.

Chen Qiuyun didn't really care about the money. "Mom, I'll use my money to buy you a house."

She had become accustomed to Wu Fengchun saying such things. In her eyes, only things given to her younger brother were her due, and anything given to the other four of them had to be given in return.

"When you can earn money like your sisters in the future, you will have to give to me every year, especially you. Look at how much money I have spent on your study for so many years. In the whole village, which girl can graduate from high school like you?" The two girls in the village who used to study with her have now dropped out of school to work.

Last year, someone came to our house and said that if we agreed to take Chen Qiuyun to work, we would give her two hundred yuan at once.

But she spent more money on Chen Qiuyun than that, and Chen Qiuyun had good grades and a good chance of getting into university. Chen Qiuling, on the other hand, simply couldn't continue her studies, and she really didn't want to waste the money on her education, since her grades weren't good anyway.

Spending some money to send her to learn a skill is already the most one can do. On the one hand, she won't have to rely entirely on her husband's family for support in the future. On the other hand, Chen Qiuling will be able to earn money on her own in the future, and she can ask for money directly.

Chen Qiuyun nodded numbly, "I know. When I have money, I will definitely help my brother and be filial to you and dad." She had heard these words since she was a child, and her ears were almost callused.

Since her parents were not around, she and her three sisters would still deal with Chen Xuyan.

Wu Fengchun then smiled with satisfaction, "This is my good daughter."

"Mom raised you not in vain!" She was very happy now.

When I buy this house, it will definitely be in my son's name, and I will save all the money they give me and give it to my son in the future.

Chen Xuyan dared not say a word. He had repeatedly advocated for gender equality and that raising a son didn't guarantee a secure retirement. Wu Fengchun had been scolding him for a whole month, and even the usually silent Chen Xingjia lost his temper. The two of them demanded to know who had corrupted his mind and what all the textbooks he'd learned were.

"Your brother doesn't know the importance of money now, but when he can't find a wife and can't get married in the future, he will know how important money is." Wu Fengchun felt that Chen Xuyan had not yet come to his senses, and no one knew what was going on in his mind.

How about letting him go get a job? There's only a month left before school starts. "How about I find you something to do?"

"What's the matter?" Chen Xuyan asked.

Wu Fengchun looked at Chen Xingjia and said, "Learn how to scrape putty from your father. How to lay tiles? Tiling is very popular among the rich people in the city now. Your father has been very busy lately."

Chen Xuyan nodded. This was quite interesting. It just so happened that he didn't know how to do it. "Okay."

"He went to scrape putty?" Chen Xingjia was so surprised that he could hardly close his mouth. This was not an easy job, so what was there to learn?

But Wu Fengchun was determined to let Chen Xuyan know how hard it was to make money. "Why not? What's so precious about a boy? A real man has to endure some hardships."

She said this, but felt a little regretful after she said it.

She really couldn't bear to let Chen Xuyan suffer such a huge loss.

"Okay then." Chen Xingjia felt that what she said made some sense. Boys really need to endure some hardships, otherwise they will live too pampered.

Wu Fengchun opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end.

Chen Qiuyun and Chen Qiuling couldn't help laughing. Their mother had shot herself in the foot. What she felt most sorry for was that Chen Xuyan had suffered. She must be regretting it so much now.

"Mom, I'm going to tailor clothes for Qiuyun." Chen Qiuling pulled Chen Qiuyun and ran out of the room.

They didn't want to see their mother find another excuse to stop Chen Xuyan from going. It would be better to let Chen Xuyan suffer a little as she said.

When they lived in the village before, my mother was reluctant to let Chen Xuyan do even the job of feeding the chickens. She wanted him to be her idol. If Chen Xuyan hadn't insisted on feeding the chickens every day, she would definitely not agree.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xuyan raised chickens very well. While other people’s chickens died of plague, his chickens were still alive and well, and nothing happened to them.

It’s amazing! My mother even said that I’m a lucky star.

However, they also think so. Since the birth of their younger brother, life at home has been getting better and better. The life they have now is something they could not even imagine before.

"These two damn girls have gone out to play again!" Wu Fengchun was so angry that he couldn't take back what he had said.

But Chen Xingjia was a slow-witted person and couldn't understand her eyes at all.

So stupid!

——One month later

"Let's get into the station quickly." Chen Xingjia and his wife said on the platform.

The other three sisters also came.

"Then let's go." Chen Xuyan followed Chen Qiuyun onto the train, carrying a lot of bags. Jiang Ci and Jiang An had already boarded the train.

They came to the train station together to buy tickets and sat together.

Wu Fengchun couldn't hold back her tears. "My son, I really don't want him to go. This is the first time in his life that he has been away from me for so long."

"Mom, didn't you say that boys have to explore the world? He is capable and will have a great future." Chen Qiuyan hugged her eldest son and patted Wu Fengchun's shoulder.

Chen Qiumei also handed a handkerchief to Wu Fengchun, "Yes, mother, they are going to school. They will be back in three or four months at most. It won't be long."

Wu Fengchun's tears continued to fall like beads from a broken string. "I really shouldn't have let him go with your father to scrape the putty. The food out there isn't good, and it's hard work. If he were at home, I could see him every day."

"He left before he could even eat a few delicious meals."

Chen Qiuling almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She had been waiting for Chen Xuyan to come back every day and trying to find ways to improve his meals. She just felt that not letting him have three meals a day was unfair to him.

Chen Xingjia almost didn't react. He scratched his head and said, "Don't I eat well every night when I come back?" He never ate so well every day like this when he came back from working outside alone.

Wu Fengchun pinched Chen Xingjia's thigh fiercely, "Shut up! You, as a father, have not fulfilled your duties at all. All you do all day is eat, eat, eat! You ate all the meat, and he didn't even take two pieces!"

After hearing this, Chen Qiuyan and Chen Qiumei had nothing to understand. Their mother was simply worried about her son. In fact, Chen Xuyan had not suffered any hardship at all.

Working with his father, how could his father let him suffer?
