About an hour later, there was a slam on the door and some sound was heard.
"Huanshui, open the door, Yu Huanshui, open the door quickly, I am your father, open the door for me quickly."
Zhou Chen sat on the sofa leisurely. After listening to Old Man Yu yelling for more than a minute, he went to open the door.
As soon as he opened the door, Zhou Chen saw Old Man Yu outside. He was sloppy, bald, bearded, wearing tattered clothes, and carrying a tattered bag. With this look, no one would doubt that he was a beggar.
According to the original body's memory, Zhou Chen knew that Old Man Yu received a sum of alimony every month. Although it was not much, it was definitely enough.
But Old Man Yu still looks so sloppy, which makes us imagine what kind of life he lives at home. The wife he married later probably just treats him as a cash cow and doesn't even regard him as a human being.
"You bastard, what are you doing? I've been knocking on the door and shouting for a long time, why did you just open the door now? Are you deliberately avoiding me?"
As soon as Old Man Yu saw Zhou Chen, he started to scold him and then tried to push Zhou Chen away to go into the house, but his push did not move Zhou Chen.
"Why, you bastard, you don't want me to come in?"
Zhou Chen frowned slightly, but still moved aside and immediately closed the door after Old Man Yu went in.
After Old Man Yu came in, he nodded without any courtesy, handed his bag to everyone, and then sat on the sofa, which made Zhou Chen's eyes twitch.
"I went to your company to look for you. They said you resigned. What's wrong with you? Why did you resign? How can you make money without a job? How can you give me living expenses?"
Wow, you said several sentences, and the last one must be your true thought.
"Also, why haven't you sent me last month's living expenses yet?"
Zhou Chen walked over and sat down on a separate sofa, saying calmly, "I resigned and haven't found a new job yet, so I have no income. Without income, I naturally can't give you living expenses."
Old Man Yu got anxious when he heard this: "How can that be possible? I don't care. I'm your father. It's only natural for you to give me living expenses. You have to give it to me every month."
Zhou Chen sneered in his heart. Although he had long known what kind of person Old Man Yu was, when he heard this, he still felt sad for the former Yu Huanshui.
What kind of relatives and fathers are these?
"Living expenses, I'll talk about it after I find a job."
"No, I know you must have some savings, so you can use that to transfer money to me, not less than a month. Without money, I won't be able to make ends meet and will starve to death."
Zhou Chen sneered, "I remember you get a government subsidy every month, right? It's not much, but in the countryside, as long as you don't spend it recklessly, it's enough for you to live for a month, so let's talk about the living expenses after I find a job."
"How can that be possible? I'm not alone. I have your mother and your brother at home." Old Man Yu retorted.
"Just shut up. That's your wife and your stepson. They have nothing to do with me. I only have the obligation to support you. They have nothing to do with me. I have no obligation to support them."
This is the law in our country. Children have the obligation to support their elderly parents. If you don't, the law will force you to do so. Of course, if you really don't want to, there are ways to do it, but the original Yu Huanshui would not do that.
Old Man Yu said angrily, "You little bastard, my wife is also your mother. I don't care. You can't give her a penny less for living expenses. And you have to give your brother's betrothal money, 50,000 yuan, not a penny less. Give it to me quickly, and I will go back tomorrow."
Zhou Chen sneered: "Don't tell me I don't have money now. Even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you."
"boom."
Old man Yu slapped the coffee table, pointed at Zhou Chen and cursed: "You bastard, what did you say? Say it again?"
"I say, don't tell me I don't have money now. Even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you. How dare you use your own son's money as a betrothal gift to your stepson?"
"I will beat you to death, you unfilial son."
Old man Yu stood up suddenly and was about to slap Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen reached out and pushed him down on the sofa.
"You dare to hit me? It's against the sky, I will kill you, a disobedient and unfilial son."
Old Man Yu got up again and was about to attack again, but Zhou Chen suddenly stood up, grabbed his hand with a cold look.
"Although you are my nominal father, it does not mean that you can do whatever you want."
The arrogant old man Yu looked into Zhou Chen's eyes. Facing Zhou Chen's murderous eyes, his heart suddenly trembled.
But he still managed to stay calm and didn't show any fear. His expression was tough.
"It's terrible, Yu Huanshui, you are really terrible now. You dare to fight with me. If your mother knew you are like this, she would be mad to death."
It would have been fine if he didn't mention this, but as soon as he mentioned it, Zhou Chen suddenly became furious.
"Just shut up. You have no right to mention her. It hasn't even been a year since she passed away, and you've already found someone else. You're the one who's sorry for her."
Old man Yu stiffened his neck and shouted, "Can you blame me for this? Now that she's gone, do I have to give up my life? I'm old and need someone to take care of me. Am I wrong?"
"You are right. You used your son's money to marry yourself, and you used your son's money to support your wife and stepson. Now you want your own son to pay for your stepson's marriage and give him a betrothal gift. What do you think?"
But Zhou Chen still overestimated Old Man Yu's morality and sense of shame. Old Man Yu didn't feel guilty at all.
"I don't care. You have to get the money anyway. You have to get the money, otherwise your stepmother will divorce me. I'm so old now. Do you have the heart to watch me live alone for the rest of my life?"
Zhou Chen said, "Divorce then. If you divorce her, I will give you an extra 500 yuan a month for your living expenses in the future, or send you to a nursing home and hire a nurse to take care of you."
Old Man Yu flatly refused: "No, I won't go to a nursing home, and I won't divorce her. Stop talking so much and take the money quickly."
Zhou Chen leaned back on the sofa and said slowly, "I really don't have any money. To tell you the truth, I just divorced Gan Hong, and now Yu Chen is with me. The living expenses of the two of us every month are enough to give me a headache. I don't have any money to give you."
"What, you're divorced?" Old Man Yu was shocked.
"Yes, we are divorced."
"So how will you divide your property after your divorce? You two should have quite a bit of savings, which must be enough for the bride price."
"I……"
Zhou Chen was so angry that his teeth ached. What a talented man. It was rare to be a father like this.
"I have no money, and this house is all I have left."
Old Man Yu was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Why don't you sell this house? You can just give me some of the money from the sale."
Zhou Chen really wanted to pick up the teacup on the coffee table and smash it on Old Man Yu’s head. This old man really only cared about himself and didn’t care about his own son and grandson at all.
"It's impossible to sell the house. Yu Chen still relies on this school district to study. If you still have a conscience, stop saying such things. Okay, I've said everything I need to say. I don't have any money. If you want to live here, it's up to you. I will send Yu Chen to his mother's house. You can stay here as long as you want. But there are only two rooms in the house. You can sleep on the sofa if you want."
After saying that, he no longer cared about Old Man Yu, but went straight back to his room. As for respecting the elderly, forget it. Does Old Man Yu deserve it?
"Huanshui, Huanshui, don't leave..."
Old Man Yu hurriedly chased after him, but Zhou Chen had already closed the bedroom door and would not open it no matter how hard he knocked.
"Stop knocking. I'm tired and need to rest. I have to go out and look for a job tomorrow. If I can't find a job, I won't have money to give you living expenses. You don't even want to pay for your own living expenses, do you?"
The expression on Old Man Yu's ugly face kept changing. He wanted to get angry, but Zhou Chen didn't open the door at all. No matter how he shouted and scolded, it was useless.
Zhou Chen listened to the knocking sounds coming from the living room outside, but didn't pay much attention to it. He just let Old Man Yu do whatever he wanted. He didn't plan to live in this house for long anyway, as he would give it to someone else soon.

Chapter 758: A Nice Woman, Tricking Yu's Father
"Huanshui, Yu Huanshui, what time is it? Why haven't you gotten up yet? I'm hungry. Hurry up and get me something to eat."
Before six o'clock in the morning, Old Man Yu was heard shouting outside the bedroom, and the bedroom door was slammed.
In fact, Zhou Chen would usually be awake at this time, so his sleep was not disturbed. It was just that the situation was special today and he didn't want to get up at all.
"There are instant noodles in the kitchen. If you want to eat, make it yourself."
After yelling at Old Man Yu outside the door, Zhou Chen turned over and picked up his mobile phone to play.
Ignoring the clanging sounds outside, Zhou Chen didn't get up until after seven o'clock. As soon as he came out of the bedroom, he saw Old Man Yu sitting on the sofa in the living room. He looked grim and slovenly. On the coffee table in front of Old Man Yu was a bowl of noodles, and the smell filled the living room.
Knowing what kind of person Old Man Yu was, Zhou Chen ignored him and turned to go to the bathroom to wash up.
But as soon as he arrived at the bathroom, he frowned at the mess inside. He didn't know how Old Man Yu made the bathroom very dirty, and towels were thrown all over the sink.
Trying to suppress his nausea, Zhou Chen cleaned himself up, then brushed his teeth and washed his face.
"When are you going back?"
Returning to the living room, Zhou Chen sat down on the sofa farthest from Old Man Yu and asked directly.
Old Man Yu shouted angrily, "Go back? If you give me money, I will go back. If you don't give me money, I will stay here and not leave."
"That's up to you."
Zhou Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him, he just stood up and said: "If you want to live here, it's up to you, but I have no money now, I have to go out to find a job, if you want to eat, you have to find a way, there is only instant noodles at home."
"Hey, Huanshui, you can't do this. I'm your father, your biological father. How can I have any money? When I came here, I only had enough money for a train ticket. Now I don't have a penny on me. Please give me some money." Old Man Yu shouted.
But Zhou Chen showed no sign of mercy: "I still want you to give me some money. If you don't have money, just eat instant noodles at home. Don't run around. I'm going out to find a job now. I may not be back at night. You stay here by yourself."
With Old Man Yu at home, he really doesn't want to live here anymore. He would rather go out and find a hotel to stay in.
He didn't believe that Old Man Yu could hold out against him for long. He had no money anyway. If he insisted on pestering him, then he would just have to endure it and see who could outlast the other.
In fact, he has many ways to deal with Old Man Yu, but he doesn't want to waste too much time with Old Man Yu. He still has to go out and find evil, and the side quest still needs to be completed well.
Amid Old Man Yu's excited shouts, Zhou Chen quickly left home, taking with him a few sets of Yu Chen's spare clothes.
Old Man Yu refused to leave, and he was not going to let Yu Chen go back.
As for grandfather and grandson, they had only met a few times in total, not to mention that from last night to this morning, Old Man Yu had not asked about Yu Chen's situation. It was obvious that Yu Chen, his biological grandson, was not as good as his stepson.
Meeting a grandfather like this will only make people feel upset, so it’s better not to meet him.
After Zhou Chen went out, he first took a routine walk around the surrounding streets. When it was almost eight o'clock, he received a message from Li Qian, saying that she had sent Yu Chen to school and asked him not to worry.
After seeing the message, Zhou Chen immediately called Li Qian and asked her to meet.
It was almost noon when Zhou Chen met Li Qian in a cafe.
Li Qian was dressed up carefully today, wearing light makeup and a floral dress. Although she was not tall, she looked very attractive.
"Hello, Mr. Yu."
"Hello, Ms. Li. Thank you very much for taking care of Yu Chen last night. I'm so sorry. If there was no other way, I wouldn't bother you."
Zhou Chen came up and apologized to Li Qian for what happened yesterday. What happened yesterday was indeed very abrupt. Although he was thick-skinned enough, he still had to say some polite words.
Li Qian said, "It's okay. Everyone has difficulties. Yu Chen is a very well behaved child. He slept with our Ziming last night. Mr. Yu, you didn't see how happy the two children were playing."
"Ms. Li, you can just call me Yu Huanshui."
"Uh, okay, then I'll just call you by your name. You don't have to be so polite. Just call me Li Qian."
"Ok."
After chatting for a while, the two of them became obviously more familiar with each other and more relaxed, no longer as reserved as when they first met.
"Li Qian, actually, the reason I asked you to meet me today, besides to thank you, I also have a favor to ask." Zhou Chen took the initiative to speak.
Li Qian said straightforwardly: "Don't be so polite, just tell me if you have anything to say. If I can help, I will definitely not refuse."
The reason why she was so enthusiastic about Zhou Chen was that when she was in school before, she saw that Zhou Chen was a man with a strong sense of responsibility, so she had a good impression of Zhou Chen.
She divorced her ex-husband because he was irresponsible towards their family, which also made her more likely to be attracted to responsible men.
Zhou Chen no longer hesitated and said directly: "To be honest with you, I divorced Yu Chen's mother a few days ago."
"Ah?" Li Qian was very shocked.
"Why? You're such a good person, why would Yu Chen's mother want to divorce you?"
Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I can't be considered good. As for the reasons for the divorce, there are many, all of which are sad things, so it's better not to mention them."
Li Qian herself is a divorced person, and she couldn't help but empathize with Gan Hong at this moment. She had also met Gan Hong at parent-teacher meetings before, but she was not familiar with him, so she didn't know what kind of person Gan Hong was.
But based on the two times she had met Zhou Chen, she felt that Zhou Chen was a man with a good personality.
"I divorced Yu Chen's mother, and Yu Chen was awarded to me. But I ran into some problems recently, so I may not have time to take care of Yu Chen, but I'm also worried about leaving him to his mother, so I..."
Before Zhou Chen could continue, Li Qian understood what he meant. She thought a lot in an instant. When she heard Zhou Chen say that he was worried about leaving Yu Chen to his mother, she couldn't help but make a conclusion that Yu Chen's mother must be unreliable, so Zhou Chen was worried about leaving his son to her.
But because he really encountered a problem and couldn't find anyone else to help, he found her, someone he wasn't very familiar with.
Although she felt a little strange and emotional, she thought that Zhou Chen must be confident in her since he thought of her. This was also a kind of trust. If he didn't trust her, he wouldn't have made this request.
Thinking of this, she immediately said, "Yu Huanshui, if you are assured, you can leave Yu Chen to me. It just so happens that our Ziming and Yu Chen are best friends. If he knew that Yu Chen could stay at our house for a few days, he would definitely be very happy. You must give us this opportunity."
Look at what the other person said, how sophisticated his words were. It was clearly him who was asking for help, but the other person's casual remark changed the feeling.
"Would it be too much trouble?"
"No, don't worry. Usually, apart from the nanny, there are only me and Ziming at home. If Yu Chen can go, the house will be more lively."
"That……"
"Don't worry about this or that. It's decided. If you have something important to do, go do it first. I'll take care of Yu Chen for you. When you're done, come back and pick him up."
Seeing that Li Qian was sincere and not at all reluctant, Zhou Chen felt relieved. He really hadn't chosen the wrong person.
