"Georgie, you must explain clearly to me what happened this time. I can't believe you smuggled into Mexico and used one hundred thousand dollars to smuggle..."
Sure enough, as soon as Georgie returned home, he was met with Mary's overwhelming scolding.
As a devout Christian, Mary was truly frightened by her eldest son's operation this time.
And knowing that her eldest son not only squandered all the funds in his hand but also had his arcade business seized, she was both angry and furious: "You lost all the money Mandy's father left for her to raise the baby. Tell me, what are you going to do in the future?"
Aside, Mandy, seeing her boyfriend scolded so much he couldn't lift his head, held his hand distressedly and comforted: "It's okay, I believe Georgie will pull himself together sooner or later."
Facts proved that Mandy, apart from being a bit older, was a very qualified wife candidate.
However, the deep affection shown by Mandy and Georgie didn't calm Mary down. Instead, it made her angrier: "Don't cover for him. I saw it since he was young, he's good at nothing..."
Seeing his wife speak more and more harshly, almost attacking the eldest son's character, George Sr. also persuaded: "Alright, Mary. Georgie is still young; it's inevitable to take the wrong path sometimes. As long as he can learn from this mistake, it's fine."
A blessing in disguise was that Georgie used cash flow for smuggling this time. So apart from losing all the money on him, he didn't owe any external debt.
This meant Georgie's public credit score wasn't damaged, which naturally wouldn't affect his future entrepreneurship or job hunting.
It could be considered good news.
"George, I haven't talked about you yet. The Cooper family almost produced a criminal. How do you act as a father usually..." Mary, in a fit of anger, immediately turned the spearhead upon hearing her husband's voice.
That manner carried somewhat of a "personal grudge."
"Mary~" Seeing the situation tending to expand, Meemaw Connie, as someone experienced, stopped her "crazy" daughter.
Mutual respect and harmony between husband and wife are the keys to a long-lasting family. Blindly getting angry and venting negative emotions after problems arise won't solve anything.
Thus, Meemaw Connie comforted her daughter and said: "Now is not the time to assign blame. We should think about how to help Georgie out of his predicament."
Georgie, having lost the arcade business and all savings, would have a child born in a few months. And before that, he still needed to consider the marriage issue with Mandy.
Under various circumstances, Georgie, at a low point in life, really needed help from his family now.
"He caused all this himself; what can we do?" Mary, having not vented her anger fully and being interrupted several times, felt "aggrieved" that the whole family seemed to be "targeting" her.
Moreover, facing the mess in front of her, she had no good solution either.
Therefore, irritable and upset, Mary chose to escape and turned to walk towards her room.
"This..." Her daughter's strange reaction convinced Meemaw Connie that she had indeed reached menopause.
And facing a menopausal woman, one naturally has to be more magnanimous. Meemaw Connie turned to her son-in-law and said: "George, go check on her, try to go along with her..."
"OK~" George, still a bit guilty because of the Brenda matter earlier, shrugged and followed Mary to the room.
"Alright, we'll talk about Georgie later. Now, let's continue to enjoy dinner." After George and his wife left, Meemaw Connie greeted the remaining people in a relaxed tone.
You know, because of Georgie's matter, Meemaw Connie and the others hadn't finished their previous dinner.
"You did a big thing today, eat more..." In the dining room, Meemaw Connie half-joked and placed a large portion of food in front of Georgie.
Food can comfort people. Georgie needed this right now.
"Mike, George and Mary won't divorce, right? I heard Billy say his parents' divorce started with arguments..." Missy leaned close to Mike and whispered.
Simple-minded children can often sense changes in the family atmosphere more keenly. Although Meemaw Connie tried to liven up the atmosphere at the table, the emotionally intelligent little girl Missy still read the abnormality.
And the analogy she used was the divorced Brenda family next door. Billy was Brenda's son.
"Don't worry, I can guarantee you, George and Mary won't divorce." Mike comforted the little girl in a low voice.
"Really?" Hearing Mike's words, Missy's mood brightened.
"Of course~" Mike nodded affirmatively.
The reason Brenda and her husband divorced so decisively was fundamentally because both of them had very strong personalities. Two strong-willed people living together longer would have more conflicts.
While George and his wife's situation was different. Although Mary also had a strong personality, fortunately, George was gentle and knew how to tolerate.
Two people complementary in personality generally wouldn't reach the step of divorce unless a major change occurred.
However, Mike still underestimated Mary's temper.
In the following days, Mary continued her bad temper, especially with a "conspicuous bag" like Georgie at home.
And the one most affected by her bad temper was first her husband, the pillow partner.
Although George's personality was gentle to the point of being a bit "cowardly," an honest person bullied too hard also has a temper.
Finally, after being scolded by his wife countless times, the unbearable George Sr. chose to respond with silence.
Thus, George and his wife started a "cold war."
"Where are Georgie and George?" Another day at dinner time, Mary, preparing for pre-meal prayer, found two people missing at the table.
"Georgie is in the garage; he said he has no appetite." Mandy glanced at Mary and answered carefully.
During this time, Mary didn't spare her erring eldest son while scolding her husband.
In the eyes of the family, Mary, attacking indiscriminately, had become a "Demon King."
As a future daughter-in-law, Mandy was now a bit afraid of her mother-in-law.
"Whatever, eat or not." After habitually complaining, Mary asked again: "What about George? I remember he was in the living room earlier."
"Went to Brenda's house to help replace the new water pipe." Meemaw Connie answered, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped.
Meemaw Connie saw all the changes in her daughter recently. She had advised her to change her temper before, but the effect wasn't good.
"Brenda?" Mary's tone carried some dissatisfaction, but she didn't say much about it.
Then, suppressing her anger, she led the family in pre-meal prayer.
...
"George, thank you so much. To express my gratitude, how about I treat you to a drink?" Brenda said, handing over a glass of prepared red wine.
Unlike the suppressed dining atmosphere at the Cooper house, the atmosphere in Brenda's kitchen appeared very ambiguous.
For a long-term single mother living alone, George's gentle and reliable personality was very attractive.
Through frequent contact with George, Brenda developed some improper thoughts.
Finally, today, in a moment of impulse, she launched a "seduction" plan.
For this, Brenda specially sent her son away and changed into a red long dress highlighting her figure.
George, having suffered enough resentment at home, couldn't resist such "temptation."
"Then let's have a drink~" George, not wanting to go home, took the goblet.
Brenda, usually looking capable and spicy, suddenly becoming gentle combined with her plump figure, really had some charm.
