Wen Qiao suddenly felt that something was amiss.

It seems that it was Lü Qian who suggested that her mother bring her to the Shen family.

Wen Qiao thought it was her mother's idea, but she didn't expect that it was Lü Qian who brought it up.

Lü Qian, also afraid of arousing Wen Qiao's suspicion, immediately softened her tone, revealing a hint of panic and confusion typical of country bumpkins visiting the city, and said, "My cousin is a kind person. I'm just worried that since all four of us sisters are here, she might be unhappy to see so many people."

"Don't worry, cousin. I'm just here to work as a waitress at Aunt's restaurant. I won't think about anything else."

Wen Qiao smiled and asked, "What are you overthinking?"

Wen Qiao didn't say it outright, but she knew that her cousins ​​had probably found out what happened to the Wu family and wanted to get a share of the spoils.

Lu Qian's eyes immediately filled with panic, and she reached out and waved her hand awkwardly.

It seems that Wen Qiao misunderstood her.

"Cousin, you've misunderstood me. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just worried that you'd think we'd take advantage of Aunt."

Wen Qiao said directly, "Lü Qian, haven't you and your sisters been under your aunt's care all these years? Taking advantage of others isn't something you can just say you won't. I'm not talking about taking advantage of others, I just want you to understand that you should remember the kindness your aunt has shown you."

"I don't expect you to be filial to her in the future, but I just ask that you don't have any improper thoughts."

Seeing that Lü Qian was about to cry, Lü Yazhi reached out and tugged at Wen Qiao's arm.

She said gently, "Xiao Qiao, that's not what Lü Qian meant. She meant that this time she came to Beicheng, just like when she was in the county town, to support her younger sisters on her own. She just wanted to find a job at my restaurant."

"If she gets a better job in the future, she can go work somewhere else."

Wen Qiao didn't need to argue with her mother over a stranger.

Now that her mother has lost Old Wu, she always wants to find someone to rely on, as if helping others gives her a sense of being needed.

But at this time, Wen Qiao was mature and steady, had strong work ability, a harmonious and happy family, and her children and grandchildren were all obedient and good at studying. It could be said that the Shen family had no need for Lü Yazhi at all.

Therefore, she felt that Wu Suowei, who was unwanted by his parents, needed her, and chose to stay in the Wu family.

In fact, given her abilities, my mother has the capacity to buy a house.

The house that Shen Jichuan originally gave to her mother was demolished by the government, which not only provided her with compensation but also gave her a new apartment.

But Lü Yazhi didn't want to go; she was afraid of living alone.

Now, under her care, Wu Suowei has returned to normal, and his grades have visibly improved.

This made Lü Yazhi feel that she had the ability to save others.

Just then, Lü Qian seized the perfect opportunity to ask for help, saying that she disliked the low wages in the small county and wanted to come to Beicheng. Moreover, she only said this to Lü Yazhi after she had resigned and brought her three younger sisters to Beicheng.

Lü Qian acted first and informed him later.

Lü Yazhi thought to herself, "Since we're already here, we can't just send them away."

Didn't this just allow Lü Qian to achieve her goal?

Wen Qiao didn't know what Lü Qian's ultimate goal was, but she knew that Lü Qian's eyes were now filled with calculation, a calculation directed at her own aunt, Lü Yazhi.

Wen Qiao could understand that a young girl who wanted to make a name for herself in society needed to be shrewd and calculating.

But she shouldn't have schemed against her aunt, who was wholeheartedly helping her and her sisters.

These are all Wen Qiao's guesses; she has no evidence.

Since Lu Qian and her sister had just arrived in Beicheng, and their specific purpose had not yet been revealed, Wen Qiao really couldn't say these things to her mother.

Let's wait and see how things develop.

Wen Qiao didn't stop her mother from forbidding Lü Qian from relying on her; she just told her to handle it herself.

Wen Qiao said a few polite words and invited her mother and Lü Qian to come inside and sit for a while...

Because she was busy with the restaurant, Lü Yazhi brought Lü Qian to see Wen Qiao to confirm with her daughter that Lü Qian had come to Beicheng to stay with her, so that her daughter would know about it.

After telling Wen Qiao about this, Lü Yazhi left with Lü Qian.

After leaving the Shen family's house, Lü Qian didn't say anything until she left the family compound.

Lü Qian then said, "Auntie, I feel like my cousin doesn't really like us bothering you. Please don't let us get into a fight with her, it's not worth it."
