It was past 6 p.m. by the time the Chen family had settled Chen Zongyu in; he was too much of a troublemaker.

Chen Zongyu didn't want to live in the Chen family home, saying that his story would spread sooner or later, and he didn't want to live in a place where he knew people.

He insisted that Feng Yarou and Chen Xinjun rent a house for him. After the house was rented, the Chen family and Feng Yarou cleaned it and bought him some daily necessities. It's only now that it's finally finished.

The group was exhausted and hungry, and Chen Xinjun's younger brother and his wife were especially furious. If it weren't for the money and the fact that they needed Feng Yarou's help, they would have left long ago; a good-for-nothing like her wasn't worth their time.

"Big brother, when are you going to let Feng Yarou go to the police station to report the case?"

The three of them went home, wolfed down their meal, rested for a while, and sent the two children back to their room to sleep. Chen Xinjun's younger brother, Chen Xinqiang, asked anxiously.

While he was working, he wanted his older brother to ask Feng Yarou, but his older brother gave him a look, telling him not to speak.

"I'll bring it up with Feng Yarou tomorrow. She's in a bad mood today, and Xiaoyu's emotions are also unstable."

Chen Xinjun said with a stern face that he was worried Feng Yarou wouldn't agree, as she was only interested in getting revenge on Pei Feng and didn't want the money. If he couldn't persuade Feng Yarou, he could only persuade Xiao Yu. As long as he agreed, Feng Yarou wouldn't refuse.

"Okay, brother, what are your plans after you get the money? Do you want to take Xiaoyu to see some other places?"

Chen Xinqiang looked at Chen Xinjun cautiously, hoping he wouldn't be so foolish. The mother and son—one a good-for-nothing, the other a promiscuous woman—were not worth his time.

His older brother had just started dating Feng Yarou and was smitten with her. Feng Yarou was good at dressing up and had a great figure, which made Chen Xinqiang extremely envious.

Knowing that Feng Yarou was working as a prostitute, Chen Xinqiang asked her out several times, and the two of them had an affair behind Chen Xinjun's back. Over the past year, seeing that Feng Yarou was getting older and older, Chen Xinqiang stopped secretly contacting her.

"Sigh, the best hospitals in Kyoto all said there's nothing they can do, and I guess it'll be the same anywhere else. I've come to terms with it and accepted reality. That's just how it is!"

Once we get the money Pei Feng gives us, we'll give the mother and son tens of thousands of yuan so they can live a good life. Then we'll find Xiaoyu a widow, preferably one with children, so he'll have someone to take care of him in his old age.

Chen Xinqiang was secretly pleased. He understood what his older brother meant: he didn't want to take care of Chen Zongyu. And rightly so, now that they had money, who would care about them, mother and son?

"But would Feng Yarou agree?"

Chen Xinqiang saw that Feng Yarou always regarded Chen Zongyu as her lifeblood. Knowing that Pei Feng was demanding so much money in compensation, would she agree to give up treating Chen Zongyu?

"This is not up to her. Xiaoyu is so emotional right now. If we let her continue like this, she'll go crazy," Chen Xinjun said righteously.

"Brother, you're right."

Chen Xinqiang knew his older brother's ulterior motives, but this was for the best, saving him the trouble of trying to persuade him again.

"Sigh, I'm a mother myself, and I sympathize with what happened to Xiaoyu. But there's nothing we can do about it. Xiaoyu is already like this, and the doctor said the chances of recovery are very slim."

Feng Yarou, standing at the door, overheard these words and her face turned grim. Her son had finally fallen asleep, and she had come to see Chen Xinjun about something, which was how she overheard their conversation.

Feng Yarou held back for a long time before pushing the door open to question them; she wanted to hear what other outrageous things the Chen family might say.

"Big brother, do you think Pei Feng will really give us a million?"

One million is no small sum; their family might never earn one million in their entire lives.

"Hmph! I don't want a million anymore. This matter won't be resolved without two million. Pei Shizhou is so rich. Haven't you heard that Zhou Wenbin wants Pei Shizhou to acknowledge Pei Feng as his biological father for the sake of Pei Shizhou's future children?"

If Pei Feng goes to jail, wouldn't Pei Shizhou's reputation be even worse? He has to think about his future children.

Chen Xinjun was smug, believing he had found Pei Shizhou's weakness. If he had two million, he could marry a young and beautiful woman and have three or four sons; he would have no worries about having sons to carry on the family line.

"Big brother, how much money do you plan to give to Feng Yarou and her son?"

Feng Yarou also wanted to hear Chen Xinjun's answer. Over the years, Feng Yarou had given Chen Xinjun a lot of money. Apart from buying things, the money Pei Feng gave her was basically spent on Chen Xinjun and Chen Zongyu.

"Ya Rou can earn money on her own. Xiao Yu is in this state, so he will have to learn to support himself in the future. Ya Rou and I can't stay by his side forever."

If Pei Feng gives us one million, we'll give them fifty thousand. If Pei Feng is willing to give us two million, we'll give them one hundred thousand.

Chen Xinjun felt he had been generous enough, but Chen Xinqiang and his wife exchanged a glance, both thinking he had given too much. However, they were both smart and knew that it was best not to say anything more at this time.

Feng Yarou stood at the door, trembling with anger. She had poured her heart out to Chen Xinjun. Xiaoyu was his own son, and Feng Yarou didn't want to give up as long as there was even the slightest hope.

And what is he doing here? Trying to get money from Pei Feng, and instead of using the money for Xiao Yu's treatment, he's only thinking about his own pleasure.

"By the way, don't let Feng Yarou know about this."

"clear"

Chen Xinqiang and his wife nodded in agreement; they weren't stupid.

"Don't worry! Xiaohua can get married now. Once we get the money, I, as his uncle, will buy him a wedding house."

Feng Yarou was even angrier when she heard this. She couldn't believe that Chen Xinjun was so generous to his nephew.

"Thank you, brother. Xiao Hua is lucky to have you as his uncle."

Chen Xinqiang's wife said with a smile that she did not expect Chen Xinjun to be so generous.

"Big brother, I will definitely make Xiaohua treat you like his own father from now on. No, he must be even more filial to you than I am."

In fact, Chen Xinjun had his own considerations. Despite his confidence and his claim of wanting to find a young woman to have a son, he was over fifty years old, and what if he couldn't get a woman pregnant?

In the future, we'll still have to rely on our nephew Chen Jianhua. Although Chen Jianhua doesn't have any great abilities, at least he's not lazy and has been working to earn money.

Chen Zongyu was spoiled by Feng Yarou and Pei Feng from childhood to adulthood. He was treated like a king at home, and had to be waited on hand and foot for everything.

It's easy to imagine that Chen Zongyu doesn't even know if he'll be able to support himself in the future, let alone take care of Chen Xinjun in his old age.

Therefore, Chen Xinjun should treat his nephew Chen Jianhua well before he has a son.

They said they'd buy him a house, but we can put it off until after his son is born. We can give my brother and his wife a few hundred thousand yuan then; that will be enough to repay them.

"Xinqiang, I didn't mean that. Even if Xiaohua is not filial to me, I will still buy him a house."

"I know, big brother, you've always been the best to Xiaohua since he was little. When he was little, Xiaohua didn't know he had a cousin who was about the same age as him. He always said that when he grew up, he would take care of his uncle."

Chen Jianhua was only three or four years old at the time, so he didn't understand much. These words were taught to him by Chen Xinqiang and his wife. At that time, Feng Yarou would give Chen Xinjun money every few days. In order to get benefits from him, she taught her son to please him.

"I remember now, Xiaohua did say that. Once I was so happy that I gave him all the money I had on me."

When this matter came up, Chen Xinjun felt guilty and decided that even if he couldn't buy a house for Chen Jianhua, he would still give him 200,000 yuan.

"Yes, yes, brother has a good memory. It's been almost twenty years in the blink of an eye."

Next, Chen Xinqiang and his wife showered Chen Xinjun with compliments.

Seeing that they had nothing more to say, Feng Yarou left with a gloomy expression.

The Chen family actually dared to scheme against her like this. Just you wait. They think they can use her to get money from Pei Feng? No way!
