Chapter: 2959
Xiao Changkun's face turned red as he listened to this. He wanted to say something, but couldn't find a suitable reason to argue.
"In this family, I may not be like Ma Ran, making trouble every day, but I've never contributed anything of value either......"
"Earlier, I really did make a fortune by selling antiques and got some money from Zhang Erma. I thought that could be the way to get rich, but who would have thought it would just stop there......"
"Zhang Erma is also quite clueless. Every time he goes to the antique street, he's always there, but recently, I've gone several times and couldn't find him anywhere!"
"I didn't mention not finding Zhang Erma, but later on, I bought some antiques with a mindset of grabbing bargains, but basically lost all my money. Although I didn't lose much, the things I bought for good prices were essentially worthless."
"Later, I joined an art association and spent every day dealing with association matters. Although I got along well in the association, that kind of association is mainly about gaining reputation and experience, not making money......"
"So, Xiao Changkun puffed out his cheeks in realization: 'Ah, yeah... it seems I really have nothing to show for myself. Good son-in-law Leaf Chen gave me a car, helped me decorate my room, and wiped my butt every day, but what have I done for him?'"
In an instant, Xiao Changkun felt guilty.
He looked at Leaf Chen and said awkwardly: "Leaf Chen, ah, what should Dad do about this situation?"
Leaf Chen said, "Dad, you're doing pretty well at the calligraphy association, aren't you?"
Xiao Changkun sighed: "I'm doing okay, but I still can't earn any money."
Leaf Chen waved his hand: "You and Mom don't need to worry about making a living. This family has me and initial to support it, and you two can retire and enjoy yourselves or do what you like. I think the calligraphy association is great, it suits your hobby, and you can cultivate your emotions and make new friends, why not?"
Xiao Changkun said awkwardly: "It's just that we're living off others at home, Dad feels uneasy too."
On the side, Ma Ran smirked and teased, "Hey, Xiao Changkun, you know you're a freeloader? I thought you had no self-awareness whatsoever!"
Leaf Chen hastily intervened: "Mom, it's all family, what's there to say about freeloading? Are we going to make you and Dad go out and fend for yourselves in the future?"
Ma Ran heard this and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Oh good son-in-law, Mom isn't implying that. Mom just thinks that Xiao Changkun spends his days not making a living and not doing anything around the house, it's not very suitable..."
Ma Ran was trying to tease Xiao Changkun but didn't want to get herself involved in trouble either. If Leaf Chen really made her go out and do something, she wouldn't be able to enjoy her peaceful life anymore.
Xiao Changkun also hastily spoke up: "Then in the future, I'll take care of household chores like sweeping, cleaning, and taking out the trash, it's all on me!"
Leaf Chen shook his head in dismay, not wanting to be too accommodating with Xiao Changkun. The villa is quite large, and household chores are a bit more troublesome. Leaf Chen was also not used to having someone cater specifically to him, since he had lived at an orphanage from the age of 8 and didn't have any spoiled habits. Now, it's just that he doesn't feel comfortable having someone follow him around all the time.
Ma Ran saw Xiao Changkun take the initiative to take care of household chores and her mind was slightly more at ease, so she didn't feel like continuing to argue with him.
Now, she was eagerly expecting Chen Zeqiang's arrival because Chen Zeqiang had said he would give Leaf Chen a VIP card for the White Gold Hall SPA. This was what she was most concerned about now.
A few minutes later, Xiao Huan cooked noodles, quickly rinsed them in cold water, and then served them with her own stir-fried garlic and minced pork on top, along with chopsticks, and placed it all before Leaf Chen, smiling and saying, "Old husband, try my cooking, how is it?"
Leaf Chen took a strong whiff and praised, "It smells really good, definitely delicious!"
After that, he immediately took a bite.
This one didn't disappoint Leaf Chen either. JrNovels.com
