章 392: Chapter 391: Buying a House

Chen Afu could understand Chen Ming's actions, but he did not approve of them. Chen Ming meant well, wanting to fulfill Mrs. Chen's wish for all her sons to live decent lives, to show gratitude for Chen Ye's early help, and not wanting to upset Mrs. Wang. However, such behavior risked encouraging some people's greed, making them insatiable.

Mrs. Hu was a well-known example of greed. However, it was strange for Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye to relish the financial assistance from their brothers so unreservedly. This wasn't solely because Chen Ming, Chen Shi, and Chen Afu had come into money, but more because the way they'd been readily offering their money had changed their family's mindset.

Mrs. Chen was Chen Ming's birth mother, and he had to provide for her. But going forward, he could not keep indulging the eldest branch of his family this way, for it risked causing problems.

He hoped that the plot of indifference emerging from obligatory gratitude wouldn't recur among these brothers.
