That evening, a large table of people were having dinner, but Wen Lingling was hesitant and refused to come out. -- --
Granny Wen asked, "Isn't it just a fight between kids? Why make such a big fuss?"
Wen Zhichao looked at his mother with a half-smile: "The venomous snake I raised with my money bit my daughter, and I can't even ask for an apology? Do I have such low status in this family?"
Mother-in-law Wen became serious and began to feel uneasy. This son was no longer the son she could easily control.
The other sisters-in-law advised Wen Lingling: "Lingling, just apologize and this matter will be over!"
Wen Lingling looked at the people at the table. Everyone thought she was wrong! She felt an unprecedented sense of despair. She had always been able to bully other children, so why couldn't she do that today?
"I was wrong." Wen Lingling's voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"Louder!"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong!" Wen Lingling's voice became louder, and tears came out after she finished speaking.
Xia Ruzheng had no sympathy for this girl at all. She actually wanted to destroy the baby's appearance. She was so cruel. How cold-hearted must one be to do such a thing!
Xia Ruzheng regretted coming back for the Lunar New Year this year. If she hadn't come back, this wouldn't have happened, and her baby wouldn't have been bullied by that kind of person. It was so infuriating. Of course, she wasn't blaming her own father. His starting point was good. After all, he didn't know that there was such a naughty child in his in-laws' family. Xia Ruzheng decided that she must come back for the Lunar New Year as little as possible in the future, for the safety of her two children!
Wen Lingling apologized, and the other brothers and sisters-in-law all tried to persuade the couple: "It's just children playing around, don't take it to heart!"
"Yeah, kids don't have that many thoughts."
…
Xia Ruzheng was so angry that he laughed: "I don't care whether she did it on purpose or not, she bullied my baby anyway, and she refused to apologize! I'm making a note of this. Brothers and sisters-in-law, think about it, if it was your child who was pushed, how would you feel!"
For a moment, all those who were trying to persuade him fell silent.
Wen Lingling was the most favored of the Wen family's children. For a girl to be so favored meant she was quite scheming. She had indeed bullied her siblings numerous times over the years, always getting away with it. This time, she'd hit a wall. Someone was helping her get revenge this time, so why would she bother trying to persuade them? She should have urged Xia Ruzheng to kill the damned girl.
So everyone fell silent.
Xia Ruzheng was too lazy to pay attention to them and continued to take care of Bao Bao and Du Du while they were eating. Du Du looked at Wen Lingling deeply. Wen Lingling looked over and Bao Bao stared at her without any retreat. In the end, it was Wen Lingling herself who retreated.
Only then was Dudu satisfied.
After dinner, Wen Zhichao said, "Dad, Mom, I want to talk to you."
The two elders exchanged glances and saw each other's panic.
The second brother said heartlessly: "Is there anything that can't be said here?"
Wen Zhichao chuckled: "Who do you think you are here?"
The second brother didn't dare to say anything. He was the laziest one in the family. He usually relied on deducting more money from his parents, so he lived better than his other brothers.
Wen Zhichao added, "After I finish talking to my parents, let's sit down and have a drink together."
Of course, the brothers quickly agreed.
Xia Ruzheng and Wen Zhichao wouldn't let it go so easily. The baby was not only hers, but also Wen Zhichao's. She didn't believe Wen Zhichao would let the girl go just because of an apology. Xia Ruzheng still didn't treat Wen Lingling as a child. That child's scheming was stronger than many adults!
Wen Zhichao and the two elders were locked together and talked for more than an hour. Several brothers stuck to the door but could not hear what was said inside.
While the brothers were talking, the women and children were sent to bed.
Wen Zhichao took out the best Wuliangye liquor he brought back from Guangzhou and invited his brothers to drink.
"I've told your parents about the division of the family." Wen Zhichao said this first.
The brothers were all shocked, and the second brother blurted out: "You don't want to support your parents anymore?"
Wen Zhichao gave him a disdainful look and didn't bother looking at him anymore. "In the future, if any of your brothers' children have good grades and are admitted to our county's No. 1 Middle School or city's No. 1 Middle School, or even to university, I will pay for their tuition. You just need to let them study hard."
The second brother's face lit up with joy, and Wen Zhichao suddenly added, "Of course, forget about second brother's family. I'm too lazy to raise white-eyed wolves and poisonous snakes."
The second brother's face flushed immediately: "You don't consider me a brother?!"
Wen Zhichao sneered, "Who doesn't treat each other as brothers? My eldest brother and his friends worked hard on the farm back home. When my family was registered at home, they gave up all our food. What about you? Who tore down half of my house to build your own? I paid for it. And whose wife has been trying to sow discord between me and my parents for years? You're going to force me to tell you about all this in public."
The second brother was speechless for a moment, and the other brothers were also shocked. They originally thought that their brothers didn't know about this matter, but now it seems that not only did they know about it, but they also kept it in their hearts and kept it to themselves. If it weren't for the children involved today, they probably wouldn't have done such a cruel thing.
Wen Zhichao crossed his legs. Although he had white hair, he looked much younger than his brothers who had been working in the fields. However, among the brothers, the best-looking one was the second one, who was white and plump.
