Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Not Taking You as a Father

However, some people in the commune were reluctant to see that the team leader, Zhao Mancao, had given a whole bear to the Chen family.

The Plum Deer that saved the Chen’s child, Guibao, on the other hand, only had around fifty pounds of meat. But a big bear would weigh at least two to three hundred pounds – they were hesitant to hand all that meat to the Chen family.

Ma Xiulian had predicted this reaction, so she shouted, "Tomorrow is Guibao’s birthday, and we’ll be having a bear meat feast at the Chen family’s. Everyone is invited to join in the celebration!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the entire production team immediately began to smile with joy, contacting one another and saying, "Great, we’ll be there tomorrow for sure!"

They also began to praise her generosity since they would not only get to eat bear meat but also save a meal’s worth of ingredients at home. It was truly a fantastic deal!

Zhao Mancao was even more straightforward, "The other bear will also be butchered today. Half of it will be sent to Factory Manager Gu’s place, and the other half will be prepared for tomorrow’s feast."

To this, almost everyone in the team agreed.

In a cheerful atmosphere, Ma Xiulian used her work points to exchange for sixty pounds of fish, and a bucket of goldfish that her granddaughter had specifically asked for.

After distributing the fish, the whole commune began to bustle with activity again, boiling water and preparing to butcher the bear.

At this point, Li Chunhua of the Chen family was applying medicine to her husband’s wounds.

As she was applying the medication, she complained with tear-filled eyes, "Father hit you too hard, look at what he’s done to you!"

"Shh, be gentle."

Chen Jianye’s back was a overlapping mess of bruises and welts from the beating. He was bleeding in many areas, and every touch brought pain, "I made a mistake. It’s justified that father punished me."

"I’m already being as gentle as I can." Li Chunhua retorted indignantly, "All of this is that damn girl’s fault! What was the point of saving a worthless bargain like her?! She eats as much as a food barrel, had the bear eaten her; we would have saved so much food!"

"Jianye, how could you say such a thing?!"

Chen Jianye immediately frowned and scolded, "No matter how distant Guibao is from us, she is still our daughter."

But Li Chunhua just snorted, "You regard her as a daughter, but she doesn’t see you as a real father! When father was punishing you just now, your ’daughter’ didn’t even bother to intercede for you. She just watched as you were beaten."

Luckily, Chen Jianye was not as thick-skinned as she was, and guiltily said, "It’s my fault, I failed her as a father."

"What did you do to fail her?"

Li Chunhua said as if it was self-evident, "The very fact that we gave birth to them is the greatest blessing! Just bringing them into this world means they should return the favor and obey us all their lives!"

Chen Jianye didn’t counter these words. From the bottom of his heart, he agreed – it was natural for children to be filial to their parents.

Seeing that he wasn’t saying anything, Li Chunhua got even more animated, "But when has that damned girl ever shared the meat from her bowl with us, her parents? She only knows how to win over her grandparents!"

Chen Jianye just muttered, "It’s only right for Guibao to be filial to her grandparents."

Even though he sometimes felt a pang of jealousy when he saw his daughter being so affectionate and respectful towards his parents, he acknowledged that they were the ones who had raised him, and thought of it as his daughter being filial on his behalf.

Li Chunhua rolled her eyes in exasperation, "That’s called being sly! She knows that her grandparents are in charge of the house now and deliberately tries to please them. And unfortunately, they’re completely taken in by it. These past few years, I can’t even count how many expensive things that damned girl has conned out of them! They feed her white rice at every meal, give her meat to eat every day, and make sure she has new clothes to wear all year round!"
