After all, what Chen Feng said wasn't wrong.
Moreover, now that Chen Feng is successful in his career, in all aspects, he's doing better than him as the older brother, especially this ti when he drove back with a luxury car worth over a million, it really shocked and impressed him.
To the extent that he felt a bit lacking in confidence in front of this younger brother.
"Brother, go have a good talk with Sister-in-law. Let your family stay with Dad and Mom for a few more months. You can move after the New Year this year."
Chen Rui said with a pained expression: "I don't have a problem with it. The main issue is with your sister-in-law. She has been dreaming of living in the new apartnt. Now looking at it, the apartnt has been renovated for over two or three months, yet we can't move in, she's like a cat scratching at her heart. Besides... besides, when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are together for too long, it can cause issues, and it's easier to have conflicts; living separately is better. Moreover, our new house isn't far from Mom and Dad's place; it's just a few minutes' walk. It's not like it's that far apart."
When it cos to his sister-in-law and his own mother, Chen Feng, of course, chose to side with his mother and said bluntly: "If Sister-in-law wants to live in the apartnt, just let her move in first."
He always believed that his mother, as a mother-in-law, treats his sister-in-law quite well. After all, she helps take care of their two children and cooks als every day without asking them for any money. She's already doing quite well.
In contrast, her sister-in-law Li Guihong seems to take Zhao Xiaolan's efforts as her mother-in-law for granted. Although not disrespectful or unfilial to her mother-in-law, she doesn't show much care for her, like helping with more chores.
Chen Feng had long noticed these things, but as the younger brother-in-law, it's not his place to get involved or say much. The grudges between the two won aren't sothing he can fully understand.
But if there were really conflicts and disputes between his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Chen Feng naturally would stand by his mother's side.
"What are you saying?" Chen Rui looked at him, a bit helplessly, and said, "Are you implying that I should live separately from your sister-in-law?"
Chen Feng, unmoved, said, "Just ask Sister-in-law to endure for a few more months. I'm not saying Mom treats her excellently, but it's not bad either, right? At most, she just nags her occasionally. Could she really hold a grudge over that? No matter what, Mom is still her mother-in-law, an elder."
Chen Rui smiled bitterly and said, "You know Mom loves to nag, and your sister-in-law is most annoyed by her nagging. So, I think living separately is best for them. Otherwise, if your sister-in-law can't stand her nagging one day, it would cause trouble if they start arguing."
After hearing this, Chen Feng frowned and asked, "Is Sister-in-law really so eager to move in?"
Chen Rui nodded seriously, "Yes, she dreams of it."
After thinking for a mont, Chen Feng said, "In that case, why don't you and Sister-in-law move in first? Leave one kid, or both, with Mom. Otherwise, you and Sister-in-law might not be able to handle it."
Naturally, Chen Feng didn't want his own mother and his sister-in-law to have a conflict. So, finding a compromise seed to be the best solution.
Chen Rui said, "Your sister-in-law plans to quit her job at the factory. After all, with that job, she works herself to death and only makes a little over three thousand a month. Now that I'm earning money, it's better if she quits and focuses on taking care of the two kids at ho, becoming a full-ti housewife."
Since the elder brother and his wife had already made up their minds, there was little Chen Feng could say. "If your family truly wishes to move, then go ahead."
Chen Rui smiled wryly and said, "The problem is, Mom doesn't agree. I've ntioned it to her several tis, but she's just not budging. My sister-in-law and I can't just forcefully go against her wishes and move, given Mom's temper, you know. She would definitely start arguing directly with your sister-in-law, and I'd end up caught in the middle."
At this, Chen Rui paused and gave a friendly smile before continuing, "Ah Feng, you have more influence than I do. Could you help talk to Mom and persuade her?"
Seeing the flattering look on his brother's face, Chen Feng understood the difficulties he faced as both a husband and a son, and he finally softened and agreed: "I'll try, but there's no guarantee it'll work."
"You'll never know unless you try. I believe you can do it. Even though Mom often nags at you too, your words carry the most weight in her heart."
This flattering remark made Chen Feng feel quite comfortable.
After that, the brothers didn't say much else. After saying goodbye to his elder brother, Chen Feng went inside the office to sit.
anwhile, Chen Rui continued diligently washing Chen Feng's car.
After about ten minutes, the car was clean. Chen Feng asked his brother for the keys to the car wash garage and then drove away.
While waiting earlier, Chen Feng had already contacted Guo ngyao on WeChat, and she agreed to the dinner date that night.
She also ntioned that they should start earlier because she needed to be ho by ten to put her daughter to bed.
Originally, they planned to et at seven, but it was now around five, so they agreed to et at the hotel before six.
So it wasn't too early for Chen Feng to head over now.
Just as he was about to enter the new district, the phone on the dashboard rang. Chen Feng glanced at it and saw it was his mother's call. He reluctantly answered and put it on speaker.
"Mom, what's up?" Chen Feng asked directly.
"Where are you now? Co back quickly."
"Is there sothing wrong? If not, I won't co back for now. I'm in town, eting an old classmate for a al."
"Little Ting is here. Co back and have dinner with her tonight. You can cancel with your classmate."
Chen Feng couldn't help but be taken aback and asked, "Why is ngting here? What's she doing here?"
"You silly child, why can't she co? She's here to see . Hurry back."
"I've already made plans with my classmate, and I'm already in town. I won't co back first. Explain to ngting; she'll understand."
"You this child..."
"Mom, I'm driving now, let's just leave it at this. Bye-bye."
Chen Feng quickly said and then imdiately disconnected his mother's call.
Zhao Xiaolan was so angry she wanted to call again, but she was stopped by Wu ngting: "Auntie, I'm not an outsider with Brother Feng. Since he already has plans with a classmate, just leave it."
Hearing her words, Zhao Xiaolan instantly smiled, took her hand, and said, "You are a sensible child. Ah Feng is truly blessed to et such a wonderful girl like you."
Wu ngting smiled a bit embarrassedly and said, "Auntie, Brother Feng is actually excellent. If he's willing to accept , it would be my good fortune."
Hearing her praise her son, Zhao Xiaolan was naturally very pleased and affectionately patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I've already given him the final ultimatum, we will settle things between the two of you within this year. Even if he doesn't agree, it won't work out. If you're willing, when you go back this ti, take Auntie with you to visit your parents and discuss the matter between you and Ah Feng in detail. What do you think?"
