Chapter 3031 Chen Ping'an's Marital Rift
Liu Yunpeng sighed, took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Liu Yan: "There's 3 yuan in here, you can use it first."
Don't get too anxious or upset. I'll take care of the child for you during this time.
You and your brother-in-law should work hard to find jobs.
Liu Yan's eyes reddened, and she looked at Liu Yunpeng with emotion: "Little brother, I..."
"Stop talking, sister. We're family, no need for formalities."
"If you ever become rich and powerful in the future, just don't forget your little brother," Liu Yunpeng said with a smile.
How could Liu Yan not realize that this was a joke?
And wealth and status?
Given the Chen family's situation, it's probably a pipe dream for them to even catch up with the living standards of ordinary families.
Just then, Liu Yan's phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, she was immediately startled!
It was her mother who called.
She knew her parents' temperaments better than anyone.
She married Chen Ping'an, a poor man, against all odds and under immense pressure. Her parents tried to persuade her for a long time, but she refused to listen.
After that, his parents disliked Chen Ping'an as their son-in-law in every way, especially after they learned that Chen Ping'an was also responsible for supporting the entire Chen family.
Every time she met her parents, there would be some unpleasantness between them and the Chen family, making her feel terrible being caught in the middle.
"Hello, Mom," Liu Yan answered the phone cautiously.
"Chen Ping'an is unemployed? You asked Yunpeng to help you look after the children?" Liu Yan's mother's cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, Mom, recently... something happened at home. But it's only temporary!"
"We'll be fine once we find jobs," Liu Yan vowed.
"Tch, temporary? Have you had a single good day since you married Chen Ping'an?"
"I've heard everything. The Chen family's cheapskate father is back, and Chen Ping'an's eldest sister has cancer and needs money for treatment. He insists on taking care of her, doesn't he?" Mother Liu said coldly.
Liu Yan said weakly, "We're all family... How can we not care about Ping An..."
Liu's mother: "Does he treat you like family? Xinghui and Xingyu are about to start school, which is the time when they are most in need of money."
He's now unemployed.
Even if we don't sever ties with the Chen family, at least we should make sure the siblings share the expenses equally.
How can we let him carry it all by himself?
Now it's even dragging you out to find a job, and even your younger brother is involved!
I really don't understand, what's so good about this kind of man?
"If you had listened to me back then, would we be living this kind of life?"
Liu Yan was unable to refute, and could only hum in response.
Liu's mother: "Your father and I will visit your home in a couple of days and talk to Chen Ping'an and his family while we're there."
How could they go so far?
Really!
Liu Yan was stunned when she heard this.
The house is already messy enough; if my parents come over, who knows how much more chaotic it will become!
Liu Yan: "Mom, there's nowhere for us to stay!"
Liu's mother: "We know you have nowhere to stay, so we'll stay in a hotel. It's none of your business!"
Liu Yan: "But..."
Mother Liu: "There's no 'but' about it! If you can't reason with Chen Ping'an this time, you might as well divorce him and take the child back to your parents' home. That would be better than suffering in that broken-down house!"
He wants to meddle in his family's mess; let him.
Anyway, I never considered you family.
After saying that, Liu's mother hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy signal, Liu Yan felt extremely irritated.
What kind of mess is this?!
Actually, this was also Chen Xile's fault for drinking too much. After Chen Mo left, he didn't even wash up and just fell asleep on the sofa without informing Chen Ping'an and Chen Ziyi that their father was a wealthy man.
"What did Mom say?" Liu Yunpeng asked.
"You complain that I've dragged you into this mess, and you also complain that Chen Ping'an is meddling in the Chen family's affairs. You even want to come to my house to see what's going on, making things even more complicated for me."
Ugh... so annoying!
Liu Yan said dejectedly.
Liu Yunpeng pursed his lips, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
"Yunpeng, is there something you want to say?" Liu Yan asked, puzzled.
"Sister, you've misunderstood Mom and Dad."
Actually... that 30,000 yuan was something my parents asked me to bring to you.
They've actually been learning about your situation from me all along, and they've always cared about you and felt sorry for you.
“They heard you were having trouble, and they actually wanted to come and help you take care of your child.”
"Sister, from a wife's perspective, you're right to defend Chen Ping'an."
But from the parents' perspective, it's not wrong for them to dislike Chen Ping'an and want him to prioritize their own family!
What parent wouldn't love their daughter?
Liu Yunpeng explained.
Liu Yan was stunned.
She had always felt that her parents always looked down on Chen Ping'an and the Chen family, making things difficult and embarrassing for her.
But if you think about it carefully, they really did it out of concern for themselves!
Over the years, she has devoted herself wholeheartedly to this family, working tirelessly and has not been able to show filial piety to her parents for a long time.
Upon realizing this, Liu Yan felt endless guilt.
She's such a terrible daughter!
Unfortunately, Chen Ping'an came home at that very moment.
Seeing Liu Yan's red eyes, Chen Ping'an sensed a murderous aura.
Have you found a job yet?
Liu Yan came up and asked.
Liu Yunpeng quickly advised, "Sister, brother-in-law has been busy all day, let him rest first."
"He's been busy all day, but haven't I been busy too?"
"I've worried myself sick over this family, and he, on the other hand, has neglected his wife and children for the sake of his Chen family," Liu Yan said sarcastically.
Chen Ping'an knew he had wronged Liu Yan, so he could only apologize: "I'm sorry, wife."
I will definitely try my best to find a job.
"Chen Ping'an, let's talk."
Surprisingly, Liu Yan didn't cry or make a fuss; she calmly looked at Chen Ping'an and said those words.
The atmosphere at home was extremely oppressive.
"Yunpeng, take Xinghui and Xingyu out to play for a while. Come back when I call you."
Liu Yan said calmly.
But Liu Yunpeng could sense that it was the calm before the storm.
"Xinghui, Xingyu, go out and play with your uncle for a while."
Liu Yunpeng quickly took the two children and went outside.
At this moment, Chen Ping'an felt an unprecedented tension and fear.
He knows his wife well; if she cries and makes a scene, complaining about this and that, she's probably just venting her anger.
Once you've vented your anger, everything will be fine.
But now he's speaking so calmly.
Liu Yan must have already made up her mind!
This is the start of something really serious!!!
Chen Pingan swallowed hard and said with a forced smile, "Wife, what do you want to say? Let's sit down and talk slowly."
As he spoke, he reached for Liu Yan's hand.
But Liu Yan slapped him aside.
"Come on this!"
"Chen Ping'an, I've had enough!!!"
"Tell me, do you still want to live like this?"
"If you don't want to live like this, let's get a divorce!!! It's the same whether you're here or not!!!"
With bloodshot eyes, Liu Yan stared at Chen Ping'an and said with utmost seriousness.
Chen Ping'an's heart skipped a beat. He knew that this time, his wife was serious...
