When Chen Feng saw his mom so angry, he couldn’t help but silently lant his troubleso uncle.
He truly didn’t want to deal with his problematic uncle’s matters, but his grandparents passed away early, and this uncle was an old bachelor. Naturally, his mom, as the older sister, felt obliged to look after him.
Now his mom was upset and worrying about his uncle’s affairs—how could he, as her son, remain uninvolved?
After all, he was a very filial son and couldn’t bear to see his mom troubled over such matters.
Chen Feng had long foreseen such a situation, so he had already thought about how to resolve it.
"Mom, don’t be angry. From what you said earlier, this woman is not simple. Didn’t you ask soone to check into her? They said she had been with several n before—this isn’t just hearsay, right?"
"How could this be hearsay? I went out of my way to ask a relative of a friend to investigate, and that person lives close to this woman’s house, understanding her background thoroughly. If they weren’t a relative of my friend, they wouldn’t reveal this information. In their local area, this isn’t really a secret; many locals know about her—the flirtatious widow who runs the barbershop with a questionable conduct, having been with several n, including so married ones. There were even incidents with original spouses coming to her shop to confront her before."
"Does your uncle not know about this? Have you told him?"
"Of course I told him, but your uncle is now blinded by his obsession, saying widows always invite gossip, claiming it’s a deliberate slander against that woman, making so angry I wanted to hit him."
Upon hearing his mom’s words, Chen Feng realized his uncle was too deeply involved.
"Mom, let handle this. I’ll talk to uncle."
"I hope you can talk sense into him; I fear his eyes are covered in manure, his ears stuffed with crap, unable to see or hear properly."
Seeing his mom enraged to the point of swearing, Chen Feng knew she was really infuriated.
This matter had to be resolved quickly; otherwise, his mom being so angry every day would certainly be detrintal to her health.
"Mom, try to see the brighter side of this. Though uncle has spent so money on this woman, he at least found himself a companion. And frankly speaking, this woman is sowhat attractive, and more importantly, she’s at least ten years younger than uncle.
Uncle scored a big win here, getting young love. Besides, knowing uncle’s character from what you know of him, if he had money, could he keep it? In my view, he’ll definitely spend it on those questionable won."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaolan sighed and said, "That’s all I can hope for. Your uncle is really troubleso. Sotis I wish he had just never co back."
These words are just for venting. Deep down, Zhao Xiaolan is only frustrated with her brother for not living up to expectations, angry at his failures, but her maternal instincts as an older sister have not changed.
After a prolonged silence in the car, Zhao Xiaolan rembered Wu ngting beside her and said, "Little Ting, you surely know about Ah Feng’s uncle. Every family has their issues."
Wu ngting quickly comforted, "Don’t overthink. Uncle is a grown man; he should know his limits."
Zhao Xiaolan could only shake her head and sigh repeatedly.
Upon returning ho, Chen Feng imdiately called his uncle Zhao Guozhong and arranged to et him at a car wash shop in Qingpu Town for a private discussion.
In about ten minutes, they sat across from each other in the car wash shop office.
"Uncle, you’re a smart man. I know deep down you should be very clear on what kind of person Mao Xiaoling is; simply put, she’s a green tea girl—do you know what that ans? You’re only deceiving yourself thinking you’re deeply in love with her."
Chen Feng got straight to the point, directly addressing the crux of the issue.
"Ah Feng, you must have misunderstood her," Zhao Guozhong’s face didn’t look pleased; though he didn’t quite grasp the term ’green tea girl,’ he knew it wasn’t a complint.
Chen Feng didn’t argue with him but continued, "For such won, if you truly have money, it’s not hard to keep them; you just need to spoil them with money. But sadly, you’re not truly wealthy. If you were smart and clear-headed, you should have pulled yourself out before being saddled with debt."
"Ah Feng, she’s not like what you think. I’m very clear-headed; I know you heard so bad things about her from your mom, thinking she’s sketchy. But... but even if those rumors are true, so what? As long as she lives properly with afterward, I wouldn’t mind."
Chen Feng sneered, "But she doesn’t want to live properly with you. She found excuses to avoid signing a marriage certificate; do you think she’s planning to live well with you?"
Zhao Guozhong wasn’t stupid and understood, and indeed, deep down, he recognized this. He sighed, "I’m aware of her concerns; apart from her mom’s disapproval, mainly because I don’t have stable, decent inco. At the car wash shop, I’m just a small shareholder, getting only three to four thousand bucks a month in dividends, most of which goes to your aunt and mom. If I had money, she would definitely agree to marry . Ah Feng, why not introduce to a lucrative opportunity?"
Chen Feng was sowhat amused by the irritation, shaking his head, "You’re really blinded by obsession, losing even basic judgnt."
Zhao Guozhong didn’t refute, but smiled bitterly, saying, "I’ve really been captivated by her to the point of confusion. Without her, I feel life has no hope."
Chen Feng sighed and then seriously said, "If you truly want to spend your life with her, it’s not impossible—I can help you."
"How to help?" Zhao Guozhong was a bit skeptical yet hopeful.
Chen Feng glanced at him, "It’s simple: just find her weaknesses or threaten her family’s safety."
Zhao Guozhong wasn’t angry, just frowned, "What weaknesses could she have? Besides, we’re not gangsters; how can we threaten her family’s safety?"
Seeing him seriously considering it, Chen Feng was speechless.
Not wanting to waste ti, he directly said, "I plan to invest money for you guys to open a small supermarket; the location will be Yuelou Town, just as you said. Then I’ll appoint you as the store manager—with no salary or dividends. If Mao Xiaoling and her mother are willing to work at this supermarket, I’ll give them 30% of the dividends.
Tell her that when she marries you, she and you will get 50% of the store’s dividends. Financial matters will be checked monthly by a professional accountant, don’t try to play tricks. If financial issues are found, I’ll kick her out imdiately; if it’s severe, I’ll make her face jail ti, and any appeal will be useless. If you agree, I’ll get a lawyer to draft a formal tripartite cooperation contract imdiately."
