Chapter 411 - 406: Flattery (4000, two - s in one)_3
Chen Afu felt helpless—his mother was foolish and had consequently hindered the progress of Chen Aju. Although Chen Aju worked diligently now, she still had a stubborn personality. Had his mother made smarter decisions, their gradually growing family would not have struggled as much. Fortunately, Mrs. Gao was intelligent and astute, ensuring that Dahu, Daya, and Dalong wouldn’t be held back like Chen Aju had been.
After dinner, Mrs. Wang played with her grandsons Yu and Ming for a bit and doted on Chen Dabao before Chen Afu started to leave.
They had originally planned to leave after dinner, but the children had gotten sweaty from playing. Even after wiping them down with a cloth, they still wanted to bathe to prevent getting sick. Additionally, Mrs. Hu kept trying to ingratiate herself with Chen Aju, who didn’t seem pleased, which was distressing to watch.
Seeing Chen Afu about to leave, Mrs. Wang offered, "Afu, why don’t you come and see our new house while the children take baths at our place. You all can then leave after dinner."
Chen Afu had been wanting to visit their house and nodded his agreement.
After saying goodbye to Chen Shi’s family members, they left. Chen Ming stayed behind to help cater to the guests.
Seeing Mrs. Hu pulling Chen Aju to join them, Mrs. Wang laughed, "Big sister-in-law, you should stay here and learn how to entertain guests and how to marry off your daughter."
Mrs. Hu replied, "I’ve already married off a daughter, you think I need to learn more?"
