Chapter 209 I Just Want to Help My Brother
"I'll wait for you." Yan Jiedi's voice was full of determination. "No matter what happens, we will face it together."
Chen Rufeng received another call, this time from his father. His voice sounded calm and stern.
"Rufeng, where are you now?" Chen Rufeng's father asked, his voice revealing severity and unquestionableness.
"Dad, I'm taking care of some things outside." Chen Rufeng tried to remain calm, "What's going on?"
"Today is your grandfather's death anniversary, and you are out here doing nothing." Chen Rufeng's father's voice was filled with anger. "Do you know what this means to our family?"
Chen Rufeng's heart sank. He understood what his father meant. In their family, ancestor worship was a very important matter, and every anniversary of their death had to be taken seriously.
"Dad, I really forgot. I'll go back now." Chen Rufeng said immediately, feeling full of guilt. "I'm sorry."
"Don't say sorry anymore!" Chen Rufeng's father's voice was full of fatigue. "Do you know what you have done? Do you know that you have failed our expectations?"
Chen Rufeng's heart was filled with pain and regret. He didn't expect that he would disappoint his father so much because he forgot about this matter. "I will go back as soon as possible to pay tribute to grandpa."
"You must come back before dawn, otherwise..." Chen Rufeng's father's voice suddenly paused, but the majesty and pressure still existed.
"What else?" Chen Rufeng's heart was filled with uneasiness, he knew his father was not joking.
"Otherwise, don't come back!" Chen Rufeng's father's voice was cold and firm, "Our family doesn't need such descendants."
Chen Rufeng felt a strong pressure when he heard his father's decisive voice on the other end of the phone. He understood that this was not only a test for himself, but also a test for his relationship with his family.
"I understand, Dad. I will definitely go back." Chen Rufeng's voice revealed a hint of determination, "I will never let my family down."
Chen Rufeng sat in the quiet yard, holding the phone in his hand, his heart full of struggle and contradiction. His father's words pierced his heart like a sword, and he felt as if he was pushed into a dilemma from which he could not escape.
"Don't tell me this is true." Chen Rufeng said to himself. He couldn't believe that his father would say such words to him.
He recalled his growth in this courtyard from childhood to adulthood, and his father's expectations and family pressure had always been with him. He didn't want to disappoint his family's expectations, but now he felt that he was trapped in an insurmountable situation.
"Can I really not go home?" A feeling of despair surged in Chen Rufeng's heart, and he felt that he was forced into a desperate situation.
He couldn't imagine what he would lose if he couldn't go home. The love of his family, the expectations of his family, and the relationship between him and Yan Jiedi would all become a thing of the past. He felt as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff, and one wrong step would lead him to fall into the abyss.
"No, I can't give up." Chen Rufeng suddenly pulled himself together. He decided not to give up easily. "I must go home and explain everything to my family."
He dialed a phone. He needed to discuss with Yan Jie Di how to solve the current dilemma. "Di Er, I need your help."
"What's wrong, Rufeng?" Yan Jiedi's voice was full of concern. "What happened?"
"My father gave me an ultimatum, asking me to return to Beijing before dawn." Chen Rufeng's voice was a little anxious. "He said if I can't come back on time, I can't go home again."
Yan Jiedi was also filled with anxiety and worry when she heard this. "Then what should we do?"
"I don't know, but I can't give up." Chen Rufeng made up his mind, "I must go home, no matter what."
Chen Rufeng felt extremely anxious, he stroked the phone, thinking about how to deal with it. Suddenly, his sister Chen Shuying came in, holding a household registration book in her hand, looking a little hesitant.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Chen Rufeng asked with concern, noticing his sister's abnormality.
Chen Shuying raised his head, a trace of uneasiness on his face, "Brother, I...I want to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter?" Chen Rufeng's voice was full of curiosity. He felt that something was wrong with his sister's expression.
Chen Shuying sighed and handed the household registration booklet to his parents. "This is Rufeng's household registration booklet. I went to inquire about the household division today."
When Chen Rufeng heard this, he was immediately filled with gratitude. He had never thought that his sister would think of this for him. "Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome." Chen Shuying patted his brother's shoulder gently, "I will do my best to help you."
Chen Rufeng's parents took the household registration booklet and looked surprised. "What... is going on?"
Chen Shuying said nervously, "I heard that some family conflicts can be resolved by dividing the households. I thought maybe I could help my brother."
Chen Rufeng's parents looked at their daughter and were moved. They didn't expect that their sister would think of this for her brother, which made them more convinced of the cohesion and affection of the family.
"Thank you, Shuying." Chen Rufeng's mother said gratefully, "You are such a good child."
Chen Shuying showed a shy smile on her face, "Mom, I just want to help my brother."
Chen Rufeng looked at his sister, his heart filled with emotion and gratitude. He did not expect his sister to make such an effort for him, which made him more determined to go home and solve the problem. Chen Rufeng held his sister's hand tightly, "Shuying, thank you. With your support, I will definitely be able to solve this problem."
At this time, Yan Jie Di also called and said, "I have a way that may help you. You can come back to Tianjin with me first. My father has some connections there, and maybe we can delay some time."
Chen Rufeng thought for a moment and felt that this was the only option at the moment. "Okay, I'll come to you right away."
After saying goodbye to his sister, he hurried to the place he had agreed to meet with Yan Jie Di. On the way, Chen Rufeng secretly made up his mind to solve the family crisis and protect his family. After Chen Rufeng met Yan Jie Di, the two hurried to Tianjin. With the help of Yan Jie Di's father, they successfully bought some time.
However, Chen Rufeng's heart was still full of worries. He knew that delaying time was only a temporary solution, and he had to find a way to completely solve the problem.
During the days of waiting, Chen Rufeng tried hard to think about how to resolve the family crisis. He remembered his grandfather's teachings and recalled his responsibilities to the family.
Finally, he decided to face his father bravely and sincerely explain his thoughts and confusions. He wanted his father to understand his inner thoughts and his plans for the family's future.
When Chen Rufeng returned to Beijing, he walked into the house with a firm belief. His father was sitting in the living room with a serious expression. Chen Rufeng took a deep breath and expressed his love for the family and his expectations for the future to his father.
He talked about his upbringing and his relationship with Yan Jiedi, frankly admitted his mistakes, and expressed his willingness to take on more responsibilities.
The father listened to him quietly, with a hint of relief in his eyes. He realized that his son had grown up and had his own thoughts and responsibilities.
After an in-depth discussion, the father and son finally reached a consensus. Chen Rufeng promised to work harder and fight for the family's honor. His father also said that he would give him more support and understanding.
The family crisis that had troubled him for a long time was finally resolved, and Chen Rufeng breathed a sigh of relief. He was grateful to Yan Jiedi and her father, and also to his own family.
From then on, Chen Rufeng took his own path more firmly and proved his worth with practical actions. At the same time, he also went forward hand in hand with Yan Jiedi to meet the challenges of the future together.
