Chapter 95 Boss Wu Comes to Visit

When Wen Zhen saw her action, he knew that she probably had something to say to him: "Grandma, is there something wrong in the village?"

"Nothing happened in the village, but something happened in Zhu Tao's family."

"What happened?"

"Zhu Tao's father's legs are completely broken, and he can't walk anymore. Now her mother has to take care of four people in the family who can't take care of themselves. She's almost collapsed."

"This is what their family asked for."

"She came to me yesterday and wanted me to send Zhu Tao back."

Wen Zhenyi was speechless: "You sold it when you didn't need it, and now you want it back."

"That's right. I told her to exchange it for silver, but she actually said I was greedy and asked for an exorbitant price. Your grandfather was so angry that he took a broom and chased her out."

"Grandpa is right. People like this shouldn't be spoiled."

"She then ran to the village chief's house crying and saying we had kidnapped Xiao Taozi."

Wen Zhenyi raised an eyebrow: "I've never seen such a weird person."

"When the village chief arrived, I showed him the indenture. His face turned pale, and he just walked away."

"And then?"

"Many people in the village said she was inhumane and that she even sold her own daughter. She must have been desperate and started arguing with the villagers, saying that Xiao Taozi was a person who fell from her body and that even if she had urinated on her and drowned, she shouldn't have complained."

"That's really unreasonable."

"That's right. No one in the village wants to talk to her anymore."

"Grandma, you should pay less attention to her from now on. She has a distorted outlook on life."

"I'm just worried that Xiao Taozi will be sad."

"Grandma Wen, I'm not sad. I'm actually happy that they sold me. Otherwise, how would I have met you?" Zhu Tao stood at the kitchen door with a smile on her face.

Old Lady Wen saw Zhu Tao standing at the door. She had been eating and sleeping well since she came to her house recently. She was a little fatter than before, taller, and her appearance had changed.

"You girl, don't be soft-hearted in the future. Although filial piety is a virtue, it can't be blindly filial."

Zhu Tao smiled and nodded: "Grandma Wen, I know, I won't be as weak as before, I will make myself strong."

Mrs. Wen smiled and touched her head: "Good child."

Wen Zhenyi could sense the change in Zhu Tao: "If you are done, come and help with the work."

Zhu Tao smiled and washed her hands: "What are you going to do?"

"Help me chop the vegetables so we can make a vegetable pancake this morning."

"good."

Old Mrs. Wen discovered that Zhu Tao was really different now. Her previous cowardice was disappearing little by little, and she could now help Wen Zhenyi very well.

Ma Yinghe watched her walk out of the kitchen: "Mom, isn't Yiyi in the kitchen?"

"Yes. If Xiao Taozi helps her again, I won't be able to help."

Ma Yinghe brought a stool for her to sit on. "Xiao Taozi is very capable. The kitchen work is basically done by the two of them. His father and I just help out."

"Any help is a plus."

Ma Yinghe hesitated and said, "Mom, I have an idea."

Mrs. Wen turned to look at her: "What do you think?"

"Chengwen and I discussed it. If the pig disease is over, we still want to continue the pork business. The two of us can't help with kitchen matters."

Old Lady Wen frowned: "I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it all."

"We're thinking of hiring two people to help wash vegetables, wash dishes, and do other odd jobs."

"That's not impossible. Let's wait and see when the pigs are well."

"Okay, I'm just saying this to get your opinion."

Old Lady Wen patted her hands and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You don't want to be so tired, and you want to make money by selling pork."

Ma Yinghe smiled and nodded. "Although we're going to keep Yiyi for a few years, we also want to save some dowry for her, and we don't want to put all the burden of Xiaonan and Xiaoman's tuition on her alone."

"But you still have to discuss this with her."

"Well, we wanted to discuss it with her later. Since you happened to be here today, we wanted to ask for your opinion."

"You are all doing this for the good of this family. What objection can I have?" Old Mrs. Wen looked at her with a smile.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

As the two were talking, they heard a hurried knock on the door outside the shop.

Old Lady Wen looked at Ma Yinghe and asked, "Why is someone knocking on the door?"

"I don't know! We said yesterday that we would be closed today." Ma Yinghe was also confused.

Wen Chengwen walked out of the room and said, "I'll go and take a look." Then he walked towards the door of the store.

After Wen Zhenyi finished making the vegetable pancakes, he put them in a lunch box and prepared to have Wen Chengwen take them to the private school. When he came out, he saw him walking towards the hall: "Dad, where are you going?"

Wen Chengwen stopped and turned to look at her: "I heard someone knocking on the door, I'll go check it out."

"I'll go. You put on your straw raincoat and bamboo hat and go take the food to your brothers first, otherwise it will get cold soon."

Wen Chengwen looked at the food box in her hand: "Okay, be careful."

Wen Zhen nodded and handed the food box to her.

Ma Yinghe followed Wen Zhenyi to open the door, and Old Lady Wen also stood up and followed them into the hall.

Wen Zhenyi opened the door of the shop and saw a man with a big belly standing outside. He was dressed in exquisite silk and there was an old acquaintance holding an umbrella for him.

"Brother-in-law, she is the silly girl of the Wen family." Butler Wu said with a flattering look on his face.

Ma Yinghe and Old Lady Wen's faces instantly turned ugly, and they stared at him with unfriendly eyes.

The man looked Wen Zhenyi up and down, as if he were sizing up merchandise: "She's quite pretty, actually."

"Brother-in-law, are you interested in her?"

"She's just a peasant girl who can be bought with money. She can't even do a small job for you." The man looked unhappy.

Wen Zhenyi narrowed his eyes and knew without a doubt that this person was Boss Wu.

Without saying a word, she closed the door in front of him and bolted it: "I don't know where a bunch of mad dogs came from so early in the morning. It's really unlucky."

The expressions on Ma Yinghe and Old Lady Wen's faces instantly turned from gloomy to bright, and they gave her a thumbs up.

Boss Wu looked at the closed door, his face as dark as it could be. He knew there were very few people in town who dared to give him the cold shoulder, and now he was being humiliated by a silly girl. He was so angry that his face flushed red: "Knock the door open! You are so rebellious!"

Butler Wu immediately turned his gaze to the servants behind him and said, "What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear what the master said?"

"Bang, bang, bang."

When Wen Zhenyi heard the voice, he looked at Ma Yinghe and said, "Mom, take good care of grandma." Then he turned around and opened the door.

The servants outside didn't expect her to open the door suddenly, and rushed in due to inertia. They were tripped by the threshold and fell to the ground, one on top of the other.
