Chapter 2973 Dad is back
At the entrance of the corridor, Chen Ziyi wiped the sweat from her forehead and carefully hid the rags she had just picked up in the storage room.
Her second brother didn't let her pick up rags and told her to go to school well.
But the family is in such trouble, how could she just sit back and do nothing?
She is also a member of this family. She can't just watch her brother die, right?
After counting today's gains, Chen Ziyi felt much more at ease.
"These should be able to sell for more than 100 yuan. I'll give them to my sister-in-law and help her feel less anxious."
"Chen Ziyi!!! What are you doing?!"
At this moment, an angry voice sounded.
Chen Ziyi's body trembled, and she turned her head tremblingly, and saw her second brother Chen Pingan rushing towards her aggressively.
Finished!
Found! !
"elder brother."
Chen Ziyi smiled awkwardly.
"You still have the nerve to laugh?
How many times have I said it?
You don’t have to worry about the money at home. Don’t waste time picking up junk. Study your studies well!
You just won’t listen!!!”
Chen Pingan grabbed the pile of junk and threw it into the garbage dump next to him.
Chen Ziyi hurriedly stopped him: "Don't throw it!
I picked it up with great difficulty!!!"
“What’s the point of picking up more?
If you don't study hard, you'll end up like me, working like a slave and being scolded like a grandson every day!
Chen Pingan threw all the junk into the trash can without saying a word.
Seeing this, several old ladies in the community rushed to grab the rags as if they were grabbing free eggs, and their eyes reddened.
Chen Ziyi was furious and turned around crying, "Didn't I see you're working so hard and wanted to help out at home?"
"Why did you throw away the fruits of my labor?"
Chen Pingan said angrily: "Don't worry about it, your most important task now is to study hard!
What good can one achieve by picking up rags?"
Chen Ziyi: "You don't need to bother me. I can do whatever I want! I don't need you to pay for tuition anymore. I can handle it myself!"
Chen Pingan: "I'm your brother! I should take care of you!!!"
Chen Ziyi: "You were only born a few minutes earlier than me! If you didn't know, you would think you were my dad!"
When the word "Dad" was mentioned, both sides fell silent.
As autumn deepened, the weather became slightly cooler. The wind blew on the brother and sister, and they looked at each other in silence.
A few minutes later, Chen Ziyi finally couldn't hold it anymore and threw herself into Chen Ping'an's arms and started crying: "Brother, I... I don't want you to suffer so much.
You're so tired... I... I want to help you...
You have fulfilled your responsibilities as my brother, and there is no need for you to be my father anymore."
Chen Ping'an's eyes also turned red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Who made our damn cheap father disappear before we were born!"
Chen Ziyi sobbed, "How about... asking mom for some money... You've worked so hard..."
Chen Pingan immediately shook his head: "Mom not only has to take care of Moyuan Capital, but also has to take care of my sick grandma.
This alone was enough to overwhelm her.
In addition, her mental state has been not very good since her father disappeared.
It is already very precious that she can help us occasionally and not let us take care of her.
We are all adults, so let’s stop putting more pressure on her.”
Chen Ziyi nodded: "Brother, you are right. Mom has had a hard time."
"You two, hurry up and come up to eat! What are you dawdling about down there?"
Liu Yan opened the window and shouted.
"Hey, here comes my sister-in-law!"
Chen Ziyi laughed and pulled Chen Pingan upstairs, saying at the same time: "Brother, my sister-in-law is really nice, beautiful, gentle, and willing to be with a poor guy like you.
If you become rich in the future, you must not let others down."
Chen Ping'an looked up at Liu Yan's pretty face and felt distressed.
Because of the hardships of life, the once beautiful Liu Yan now has a tired look on her face, and even traces of time can be seen.
"I have to work harder."
Chen Ping'an thought to himself.
"Second brother, third sister."
When the food was served, a playful greeting made the whole family look over.
The door opened and a big boy who looked almost identical to Chen Pingan walked in.
But compared to Chen Pingan, Chen Xile is obviously more youthful and his temperament is not as stable.
"Oh, sister-in-law made so many delicious dishes again!
Thank you for being the most beautiful, gentle, virtuous, generous, and best sister-in-law in the world!!!"
Chen Xile said with a smile.
"You're the sweetest, no wonder you can get a rich second-generation girlfriend."
Liu Yan teased.
Chen Xile is very sensible. Although he cannot bring any economic value to the family, he gives enough emotional value.
Every time Liu Yan is unhappy, Chen Xile can make her laugh.
It is also the happy pill of the whole family.
In the past, whenever Chen Xile mentioned his rich second-generation girlfriend, he would show off proudly.
But today, his face wasn't very good, and he didn't seem willing to mention his girlfriend.
The whole family squeezed the small dining table into a swarm of people.
This dining table can only be put together temporarily when eating.
There are too many miscellaneous items in the living room, and there is no space on the table, so they are usually put away.
"Xi Le, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your girlfriend is well-off, so if she makes you angry, just bear with it.
After all, he is a child from a wealthy family and was brought up in a pampered environment.
If we marry her, we are marrying into a rich family!
We must put our own identity and status in perspective."
As she spoke, Liu Yan picked up a piece of pork ribs for Chen Xile.
At this time, the door was pushed open again.
Chen Zhenzhen, who looked very similar to Gong Ziyuan, walked in. Her steps were unsteady, her eyelids were drooping, and she looked like she was about to faint.
Chen Ziyi quickly supported Chen Zhenzhen and asked with concern, "Sister, are you okay?"
Chen Zhenzhen forced a tired smile and shook her head, "It's okay, maybe I have a little low blood sugar.
Just eat something, it's okay."
Chen Xile said distressedly: "Sister, you should just quit your job.
You are already weak, and this job requires you to work overtime all night every day.
You're going to get into trouble sooner or later!"
Chen Zhenzhen shook her head: "Hey, how many companies don't require overtime now?
Everyone is the same.
I finally found this job, and it will be a permanent position soon.
Once I become a regular employee, our family will have a much easier time."
Just as Chen Ping'an was about to offer some advice, his phone suddenly rang.
"You can't risk your life for a salary!" Liu Yan served Chen Zhenzhen a bowl of rice with concern.
Chen Zhenzhen sighed and said helplessly, "Xi Le is getting married soon.
Ziyi hasn't graduated yet.
The whole family depends on Ping An.
As the eldest sister, I always feel guilty about this.
Sometimes I really hate our damn dad. Why didn't he set up a trust or something before he passed away? At least he could have left us some money so that we brothers and sisters wouldn't have to live in such poverty."
“Who said it wasn’t?
Before he disappeared, I heard he was the richest man in the world!
I also heard that our family used to live in a royal palace!" Chen Ziyi said.
"Not only did he not leave any money, he also made enemies everywhere and even implicated my godmother and godgrandmother's families.
"It's said that my godmother's and godmother's families used to be doing well, but now they've fallen on hard times." Chen Xile said speechlessly.
As a few people were chatting, Chen Xile noticed that his second brother looked a little shocked, as if he had been cast under a spell.
"Second brother? What's wrong?" Chen Xile asked puzzledly.
"Dad... Dad is back."
