As Chen Nuo's mother, Ou Xiuhua is naturally no stranger to this residence.
The house was passed down by the old lady, and Ou Xiuhua often came here when she was young.
The last time I came to this house was a few years ago. At that time, Ou Xiuhua had remarried. Occasionally she would come over to see Chen Nuo, who was still very young, and then secretly give the old lady some money, and finally leave in tears.
Speaking of the failed marriage between Ou Xiuhua and Gu Kang, it is also a pity.
After Ou Xiuhua and Chen Jianshe divorced, they lived alone with their young son Chen Nuo.
Then I met Gu Kang.
Ou Xiuhua was very beautiful when she was young - otherwise, the dissolute Chen Jianshe would not have finally married her.
At that time, Gu Kang had not yet developed a gambling addiction and had a legitimate and stable job. Although he was a bit glib, his conditions were generally pretty good.
After he fell in love with Ou Xiuhua at first sight, he pursued her like crazy.
Ou Xiuhua's life as a woman with a child was naturally quite difficult. Chen Jianshe had abandoned the family and children for many years, and Ou Xiuhua had exhausted all her energy in supporting the small family independently.
At this time, a man suddenly appeared next to him, asking for help, and being considerate and attentive, so Ou Xiuhua was finally moved.
But the biggest obstacle to their marriage comes from Gu Kang's mother.
The old lady of the Gu family was an extremely traditional and conservative person, and she looked down upon a divorced woman like Ou Xiuhua who was a dragster.
No matter how beautiful Ou Xiuhua is, in the eyes of the old woman, she is still a vixen who relies on her face to seduce her precious son.
Gu Kang's mother refused to let Ou Xiuhua in, and even threatened her with death.
Gu Kang was very determined at that time - it may not be because he has much true love for Ou Xiuhua, but more probably because he is obsessed with Ou Xiuhua's beauty.
Gu Kang's mother saw that her son could no longer hold him back, so she retreated and did the next best thing.
Big ones can go in, but small oil bottles are definitely not allowed!
If Gu Kang and Ou Xiuhua fail to have a son in the future, and this boy named Chen Nuo comes in, he is legally the couple's only child. Then won't Gu Kang's family property be advantageous to the Chen family in the future?
Ou Xiuhua also gave up at that time. It was naturally good to remarry, and it was naturally good to have a man to take care of her.
But Ou Xiuhua couldn't do it if she was asked to abandon her only son.
Just when things were at a stalemate, Chen Nuo's grandma stepped forward.
"We, the Chen family, can raise our children by ourselves."
Chen Nuo's grandma had a chat with Ou Xiuhua. The old lady understood the righteousness deeply. She knew very well that her son Chen Jianshe was too ridiculous and messy, which delayed her ex-daughter-in-law.
Now that she is divorced, she cannot delay her life. Ou Xiuhua was only in her thirties at that time, so she could not remain single for the rest of her life.
Since the Gu family disliked Chen Nuo, a little bastard, Chen Nuo's grandmother took the initiative to say that she could take over her grandson.
So, Chen Nuo lived with her grandma, and Ou Xiuhua remarried. After everyone negotiated, Ou Xiuhua would pay another child support every month.
Moreover, after all, Chen Jianshe is still there. He just disappeared without a trace, but he is still alive after all. The matter of raising children cannot only drag down Ou Xiuhua.
Chen Nuo's grandma understood the righteousness and allowed Ou Xiuhua's second marriage to finally take place.
Although judging from the outcome, this marriage was another tragedy.
But Chen Nuo's grandma, this old lady's kindness, Ou Xiuhua must accept no matter what.
Moreover, after Ou Xiuhua remarried, she gave birth to a daughter, Xiao Yezi.
As a result, after the birth of this child, Gu Kang's mother was immediately dissatisfied. Under the mentality of favoring sons over daughters, Ou Xiuhua's life in the Gu family became more and more difficult.
At that time, after getting married for a long time, Gu Kang gradually became tired of Ou Xiuhua and became less enthusiastic. Ou Xiuhua's only support in the Gu family was her husband. Her husband's cold feelings made Ou Xiuhua even more embarrassed.
It was even difficult for her to take out money from her family to pay alimony to Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo's grandma laughed off all these things.
The old lady’s idea was very simple: I, the Chen family, raised the baby by myself. As a mother, you have difficulties and difficulties after remarrying, so please help if you can. If you really can’t help me, I will
It's okay for the wife to hold the child herself.
This point can reveal the character of the old lady from one detail.
After taking over Chen Nuo and living with Chen Nuo in those years, the old lady never said a bad word about Ou Xiuhua in front of Chen Nuo!
Every time I say that your mother is in trouble and can't be with you, but in fact your mother misses you very much...
Therefore, Ou Xiuhua also missed Grandma Chen Nuo very much.
Now that she came to this house again, standing in the living room, Ou Xiuhua felt like she was in another world, looking at this "Chen family" that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
The furnishings, furniture, and appliances at home have all been changed.
The only thing that was familiar was probably the portrait of the old lady hanging on the wall.
Ou Xiuhua first walked to the portrait, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Is there any incense at home? I'll put some incense sticks for the old lady."
Chen Nuo squinted his eyes, looked at this strange "mother", and said slowly: "We don't have those things at home, so just bow to the old lady to express your gratitude."
Ou Xiuhua listened and bowed three times to the old lady seriously.
Brother Lei placed the wheelchair in the living room and set it up, then helped Chen Nuo get into the wheelchair.
Ou Xiuhua turned to look at Chen Nuo, twisted her eyebrows, and hesitated to speak.
I just wanted to ask when I saw the wheelchair downstairs.
But once he came, Chen Nuo said that if he had anything to say, he would talk about it at home.
Secondly, it has been a long time since I was separated from my son Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo was less than ten years old when he separated from his mother. Now I am afraid even many memories are blurred.
These years have been enough to create a thick, unfamiliar barrier between the two of them.
Although I really wanted to ask, I couldn't say it - as if I was afraid that people would think that I was just pretending to care.
Chen Nuo knew Ou Xiuhua's thoughts as soon as he saw her expression. He pondered for a moment, and then told Brother Lei a few words to go back first.
Ou Xiuhua personally delivered it to the door and thanked Brother Lei profusely.
Brother Lei, however, looked embarrassed and nervous. After saying a few nice words, he left as if running away.
Well...it was indeed a bit embarrassing when facing Chen Nuo's biological mother.
What...this Sister Ou, you may not believe it.
A few days ago, I pretended to be your father in front of your son...
That's true!
·
Chen Nuo sat in a wheelchair and watched Ou Xiuhua close the door and walk back. He pointed at the sofa with a smile: "Sit down, the outsiders have left. Now let's talk about family matters."
This time, before Ou Xiuhua could ask, Chen Nuo took the initiative and said, "Let's talk about my wheelchair first."
Ou Xiuhua immediately showed anxiety and concern: "Yes! Why did you..."
"I'm fine." Chen Nuo used the same rhetoric he used to fool Chiang Kai-shek: "I fell down a few days ago, and it was a bit heavy, and I hurt my leg.
The doctor said that my legs should be recuperated slowly, and I should try not to use them if I can, so I temporarily used this wheelchair to move around.
It’s not a serious problem, I just need to take care of my legs.”
Meng Lao Jiang would definitely not be able to make this statement - Lao Jiang was an expert in martial arts, and he could tell the difference at a glance about injuries caused by injuries.
But Meng Ou Xiuhua is almost enough.
Ou Xiuhua was indeed relieved: "Then, how long will your legs last?"
"Anyway, it will take some time. But I'm really fine. You saw it just now. If I really want to leave, I can actually leave myself."
"No, no, no, no, then you'd better stop walking and get your legs back up first. Then you can walk again."
"Well, the second thing is, let's talk about the belongings in our home." Chen Nuo pointed to the very new furniture in the living room, as well as the very new-looking TV and air conditioner.
"Yes, Chen Nuo, these things...do they cost a lot of money?" Ou Xiuhua asked subconsciously, but fearing that Chen Nuo would misunderstand the same thing, she quickly added: "I don't mean anything else, I'm just worried about you.
I am still a student and have no income.
Spending money like this is probably all the savings left by the old lady.
The old lady’s half-life savings can’t be spent like this.
We can live a hard life, and save money, which can come in handy in case of emergency..."
"Well, I bought all these things at home in the past six months... I used to have no problem no matter how hard I worked alone.
But Xiao Yezi has lived with me, and I can't let my sister suffer.
Let’s talk about the air conditioner at home.
Our old house has thin walls, no heat insulation in the summer, no insulation in the winter, and no air conditioning, which is really hard for the children."
Speaking of this, Chen Nuo glanced at Ou Xiuhua who was a little worried, and said with a smile: "Are you worried about money?
That's right, here's the third thing I want to say.
Well...our family is actually quite wealthy."
With that said, Chen Nuo took out a large kraft paper envelope from the drawer under the coffee table and placed it on the coffee table.
Inside are some documents and bills, which were left behind when the prize was redeemed.
I used it once a few days ago at Sun's house to deceive Lao Sun and Yang Xiaoyi.
Ou Xiuhua opened the brown paper envelope with some confusion and took out a stack of bills...
He only looked at it for a few seconds, then suddenly he raised his head and looked at Chen Nuo in dumbfounded surprise!
"Chen Nuo...you...you..."
"Well, yes."
"You...you..."
"Well, five million."
"Then you, you, these..."
"With the money, I bought a shop and started a business partnership with Brother Lei, whom you met just now.
I've saved some of the rest, and the passbook is at the bottom of the folded bill in your hand."
Chen Nuofeng's calm and calm look only made Ou Xiuhua feel even more uncomfortable.
It's just that I'm still in the midst of a huge emotional reaction of shock.
Even though he was surprised, he was also happy for his son.
With such a huge sum of money, at least my son's life has been greatly protected.
Chen Nuo pointed to the bottom layer of the stack of bills in Ou Xiuhua's hand.
"This is a business I started in partnership with others, and after spending some other expenses, the remaining money is all in this passbook.
Eight hundred and sixty-seven thousand, total.
When Chen Nuo finished speaking, Ou Xiuhua was so frightened that she stayed there for a long time without being able to say a word!
