Chapter 139 Aunt's Little Darling
Jian Guo Brigade Weijia
Ever since Wei's mother returned from outside in the morning, she had been wearing a long face, as if someone owed her something.
Sure enough, at lunchtime, Tiger accidentally dropped his chopsticks on the floor. Just as he was about to bend down to pick them up, Mother Wei exploded.
"You little brat, you can't even eat in peace. You've just taken after your restless mother. I'm sending you back to her tomorrow. You're all ungrateful brats!"
"I've worked so hard to manage this household for so many years, and not only does no one thank me, but they all blame me! You ungrateful wretches!"
As soon as Wei's mother said these words, the expressions of everyone sitting at the table who were about to start their meal changed.
Especially Tiger, ever since his mother took him to the county town to raise him for a while, his personality has become extremely sensitive. He already lacked a sense of security and felt that no one wanted him.
When the child heard his grandmother, who usually adored him, say the same thing about him, he was so frightened that he burst into tears.
"Grandma, I'll be good. Please don't abandon me. I don't want to go back to Mom's. Tiger wants to eat his fill and wear warm clothes, boohoo..."
The suppressed cries of a child echoed in the yard.
Mr. Wei placed his chopsticks on the table and coughed twice.
“Old woman, why are you taking your anger out on the child? What happened? You came back from outside this morning with a long face. Did something happen?” After saying that, Mr. Wei coughed twice.
He clutched his chest, feeling somewhat puzzled.
I don't know why, but his cough has gotten worse and worse ever since the third brother left.
Upon hearing her husband's words, Wei's mother plopped down in a chair and covered her face, weeping.
"What sins did I commit to give birth to this ungrateful third son? He got into university and didn't even bother to let the family know."
As a mother myself, I only found out about my son getting into university from other people's stories. You have no idea how many women in the village were laughing at me this morning. Aren't I a laughingstock?
"What? The third son got into university?" Wei's father's focus was different from Wei's mother's. When he heard that Wei Laicheng had been admitted to university, his expression was visibly shocked.
Even when he asked a question, he couldn't control his voice for a moment, and the loud voice caused him to cough incessantly after shouting.
"Cough~ cough cough~" Father Wei coughed incessantly, unable to suppress it any longer.
Wei Erge, who was sitting next to him, quickly got up and patted his elderly father.
Actually, Wei Erge was also feeling uneasy at this moment. He was somewhat doubtful. How could this be?
Although he knew he shouldn't, he still wanted to say that when they were in school, his third brother was not as good at studying as he was, and at least he went to high school, while his third brother only graduated from junior high school.
If even the third child can get into university, then maybe I can too...
Father Wei also had some doubts. "Impossible, how could it be the third son?"
"Old woman, are you sure you heard correctly? Is it really true that our third son got into university?"
"How could I have misheard? People from the county came down and said that Lao San and his wife had both been admitted to university. They were originally coming to the village to give out scholarships, but when they saw that the two of them weren't there, that old bastard village chief actually told them to send the money to Beijing."
What, who are you trying to protect yourself from? Am I his mother? Would I harm him? Even if I took his money, it's perfectly acceptable!
As Wei's mother spoke, she grew increasingly angry. Even now, the thought of that scene makes her tremble with rage.
"How could it be the third child? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Could it be that the other child shares the same name as our third child? I remember when we were in school, the third child was the dumbest in the family, always scoring 60 points on tests, far worse than the eldest and second eldest."
If the third child can get into university, then the second child can too, right?
Wei Erge was also considering the feasibility of this idea. Perhaps he could also start preparing for next year's college entrance examination.
Upon hearing this, Mother Wei seemed to realize something, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.
"Why would the second son need to take an exam? He's a father now, and his second child is due soon. What's the point of him taking an exam?!"
As her husband of many years, Mr. Wei was the first to notice that Mrs. Wei was acting strangely.
But he didn't make a fuss, planning to ask his wife again when he got back inside.
Wei Erge was also discouraged by his mother's words.
Wei Ersao wanted to say something, but looking at her parents-in-law's expressions, she hesitated for a long time before finally not saying anything.
She would be very supportive if her husband had the ability to get into university!
Anyway, he might not be able to help her at home, but if he gets into university, she'll be a university student's wife, and her family will be completely different.
Inside the house of Wei's parents.
"Old woman, what are you hiding from me? Tell me, don't try to deny it. We've been husband and wife for so many years, I think I know you well enough to know you."
Is my third brother hiding something from me? Based on his past abilities, there's no way he should have gotten into university. What's going on?
Mr. Wei's voice was stern, and he looked at Mrs. Wei with a cold face.
Seeing her husband's obvious determination to get to the bottom of things, Wei's mother had initially intended to use a pretext to brush him off.
Wei's father pointed it out directly.
"to be honest!"
Seeing this, Wei's mother knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Actually, the one who did well in school back then wasn't the eldest or second eldest, but the third eldest. I was worried that you would focus all your attention on the third eldest and neglect the eldest and second eldest, so I came up with a solution."
At the beginning, before each exam, I would use some tricks to make my third son catch a cold or have diarrhea, so that he wouldn't get a high score.
The third child probably realized this later, and from then on, he only tested a little bit each time…
Wei's father considered all sorts of possibilities, but he never thought of this one.
He truly hadn't expected that Wei's mother could be so ruthless.
He initially thought she was just a little biased, but he never expected her to do something like this for her other two sons.
Mr. Wei was so angry that he was breathing rapidly and felt like he was about to faint.
Wei's mother was frightened and quickly patted him.
"Old man, don't scare me!"
After Wei's father recovered, he seemed to have aged several years in an instant. He looked at Wei's mother and spoke in a light tone, but Wei's mother, who was his wife, saw the warning deep in his eyes.
"Old woman, from now on, don't interfere with the third son's affairs. That child has already become estranged from us."
"Why should I? I'm his mother!"
"Why do you say that? It's because we're biased, because we haven't helped the third child at all, and because we've hurt the child's feelings."
"Old woman, that's your own son, not your enemy!"
Wei's father's last words were weak and feeble, but they were exceptionally heavy.
These words were a bit harsh, and Wei's mother was taken aback. When she came to her senses, her eyes reddened.
She wiped her eyes, her voice trembling as she said, "I understand!"
On this day, it felt like everything had changed, yet it also felt like nothing had changed!
My home in Huai'an Hutong, Beijing
Jiang Xixi is currently busy packing the things she needs to take to school tomorrow.
This mainly included the skin-smoothing cream and pork jerky she had promised her roommates, and she also brought everyone a box of her homemade rose moisturizing cream.
This also contains a small amount of spring water, so the rose scent is quite light. The ingredients are simple, and it has a very good moisturizing effect.
It's great whether you use it on your face or body.
This was her gift to her roommate.
"La la la~" Jiang Xixi hummed a song, sounding very cheerful.
Suddenly, there was a very urgent knocking on the door.
Wei Laicheng was still tidying up in the kitchen, so Jiang Xixi went to open the door herself.
After opening the door, Jiang Xixi was met with someone she hadn't expected.
"Mrs. Tan..."
Jiang Xixi was interrupted before she could finish speaking, and then she was pulled into a warm embrace.
"Jiaojiao, my Jiaojiao, your aunt has finally found you!"
