After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 820 - 442: Family Matters

He first drove Auntie back to her own home, as it was quite late, and they didn't stay long. The two sisters chatted for a bit before saying their goodbyes.

Back at his own place, he took the chicken coop out of the car, fed the chickens, and cleaned the coop. This task, of course, was left to Zhao Xiaolan. Before heading out for the wedding in two days, these two chickens must be well taken care of, ensuring nothing goes wrong.

The rest of the stuff remained in Chen Feng's car. After all, all these things would need to be loaded and taken over anyway.

After taking the chicken coop downstairs, Chen Feng drove straight to his family's car wash. Even with the coop out, there was a faint smell of chicken droppings in the car, and it hadn't been washed since they bought it. It was a good time for a clean.

Driving into his family's car wash, there were already more than a dozen cars waiting, a sign of thriving business.

The place had expanded to three dedicated car wash spots, and three or four more staff had been hired.

Chen Rui, being the boss, rarely washed cars himself anymore. Most of the time, he was either in his office overseeing the staff or contacting franchisees to procure supplies.

Of course, if business was really booming and they couldn't keep up, he'd step in and wash cars himself. After all, it was all about earning money, nothing to be ashamed of.

When Chen Feng arrived, Chen Rui was standing outside smoking, not in the office.

Chen Feng drove up and said, "Bro, can you give my car a wash?"

"Sure," Chen Rui agreed readily, tossed his cigarette, and grabbed the hose to wash the car.

They had three formal wash spots, but if things got busy, they could wash cars outdoors as well, as there were spare hoses and other equipment.

Chen Feng got out of the car and stood aside, watching his brother wash the car without lifting a finger to help. He was wearing clean clothes, whereas his brother was in waterproof workwear.

Besides, the car wash had a professional car washing process, so Chen Feng didn't interfere.

"Ah Feng, did you buy everything needed for Uncle's engagement?" Chen Rui casually asked.

"Yeah, I bought everything, including a rooster and a hen. They pooped in the cage, making the car smell like chicken droppings."

Chen Rui laughed, "No wonder, I thought I caught a whiff of that smell, thought it was my imagination. Turns out it's from your car. Be sure to wash it well, then open the windows and doors to air it out."

"Yeah. Are you coming for the wedding in two days?" Chen Feng asked.

"Of course. Uncle only has the two of us nephews; it wouldn't look good if we didn't show up."

"Besides my car, are there any other cars for the wedding?"

"We initially booked two cars. Do you know Bing from our village? He has a Land Rover he bought last year for over five hundred thousand, specifically for business. Also, his friend drives a BMW 4, occasionally for hire. So it just worked out with two cars. But now that we have your better car, we can skip his friend's BMW."

"Is that okay? Didn't you already agree with them?"

This Bing from the village, Chen Feng knew him. He was five or six years older, a former local gang leader who went to prison for assault. After release, he reportedly partnered in running underground mobile casinos, setting up temporary gambling spots in secluded mountains, or well-secured farms and resorts, hooking wealthy gamblers, with designated drivers, lookouts, dealers, and escape planners. It's hard to catch them.

After earning some money, Bing, having spent time in jail and knowing better, washed his hands of it, invested in a local garment factory, got married, and had kids. Now a father of two, he was living a happy life.

Because of these past deeds, he was somewhat of a local celebrity. When mentioned, people usually knew of him.

Now Bing mainly worked as a driver, and being a wedding car driver was a primary business. According to local customs, he received not only a service fee but also red envelopes from both the bride and groom's families.

A trip usually took up to half a day, earning at least a few hundred bucks, and if they were generous, over a thousand easily.

Nowadays, Bing was an envy to many locals, a classic example of a reformed man achieving success.

"No worries. I talked to him yesterday. We'll just give them a pack of Huazi cigarettes as an apology. We didn't really need four wedding cars, which doesn't sound good, though getting one more might do.

Wedding cars should be in even numbers, preferably six for good luck, as four sounds a bit off.

This time, it's just an engagement for his uncle and Mao Xiaoling, and both are on their second marriage. No need to go overboard, two cars were enough.

Chen Rui's explanation made Chen Feng understand.

After a while, Chen Rui suddenly said, "Ah Feng, I plan to move to the new house after summer vacation, any objections?"

Chen Feng was slightly taken aback and retorted, "What objection could I have?"

Chen Rui had already bought a house earlier this year, and it had been renovated for two or three months now.

"But mom is somewhat against it. She said we should move next year, to air the place out more to avoid formaldehyde affecting the children's health. I told her I used all eco-friendly paint, no formaldehyde, she just won't believe it."

Upon hearing his brother say this, Chen Feng knew his brother wanted him to help convince their mom. But Chen Feng wasn't foolish enough to do that, knowing he'd get scolded. Besides, he knew their mom couldn't bear to part with his brother and the two granddaughters.

Immediately, Chen Feng said, "Bro, since mom suggests next year, just move next year. She just doesn't want to part from you and the kids, which is normal. Do you find living with our parents uncomfortable?"

Chen Rui was momentarily speechless before mumbling, "Mainly because the new house has been ready for some time, leaving it empty doesn't seem right..."

Chen Feng interrupted, "Is it because your wife is whispering in your ear? Bro, not to criticize, your wife is crucial, being with you for life. But aren't mom and dad important too? Mom isn't stopping you from moving, just asking you to stay with her a few more months. If you can't even agree to that, it's unreasonable."

Listening to Chen Feng, Chen Rui couldn't help but look embarrassed. In fact, it was indeed his wife constantly urging him to move to the new house. When she first mentioned it to his parents, they didn't agree, so she stopped bringing it up. Instead, she kept pushing him to talk about it, but his attempts didn't succeed.

Initially, he thought to have his brother help convince their mom, but hearing his brother's words, he felt awkward and couldn't refute.
