Aunt Li thought to herself, "This won't do."
She immediately sent her son south to find Li Sumei.
The news of the Wu family's affairs naturally reached Wen Qiao's ears. Because she cared about Wu Suowei, she also paid some attention to Li Sumei's business dealings in the south.
It was Wenqiao's mother who brought up this matter when she came to deliver things to her home.
He also said, "Your Uncle Wu went to Jian Dong to ask about this matter, and the father and son had an argument. Jian Dong felt that your Uncle Wu shouldn't have lent money to Li Sumei. If Li Sumei didn't have money, she wouldn't have run off to the south and never come back."
Wen Qiao was surprised and said, "This can't be blamed on Uncle Wu. Weren't they happy when they received the money? Now that something's happened, they're blaming the person who gave them the money."
How is Uncle Wu?
The old man is known for his short temper; it would be a real loss if he got sick from anger because of Wu Jiandong.
Lu Yazhi said, "He should be fine. He's been eating and drinking normally these past few days. It's just that his leg is hurting a bit, so we took him to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said there's nothing wrong."
“I was thinking that he might be tired from working at the restaurant, so I told him to rest at home and not go to the restaurant anymore. I also came to let you know that I have to take care of your Uncle Wu, so I can't come to your house every day.”
Wen Qiao immediately said, "Mom, you just need to take good care of Uncle Wu. I plan to go back to work next month. Staying at home is boring."
"Xiao Si has gone to school, and I see that he's adapting well, so I'm relieved."
"Nothing's going on here, so please take good care of Uncle Wu. Ji Chuan and I will go see Uncle Wu again tomorrow."
It's almost afternoon, and Old Wu is resting at home because he's not feeling well. There's a taboo against visiting patients in the afternoon; it's best to go after breakfast or around noon.
After talking to her daughter, Lü Yazhi left.
When Shen Jichuan returned from get off work in the evening, it was already dark, and Wen Qiao immediately went up to him and took his clothes and hat.
Shen Jichuan looked at Wen Qiao with a strange expression.
"What's going on? Why are you being so attentive to me all of a sudden?" he said with a smile.
Wen Qiao said softly, "How can the affection between husband and wife be considered as flattery?"
"You don't know what's going on with the Wu family, do you? It seems Li Sumei has found someone in the south and isn't planning to come back. The Li family even caused a scene at the hospital. Wu Jiandong was furious. When he got home from work, he argued with Uncle Wu, saying that Uncle Wu shouldn't have lent money to Li Sumei. You can imagine what this has become of him. Uncle Wu was worried about his son and daughter-in-law, and now he's being scolded and reprimanded by his son."
“My mom said that Uncle Wu is not in a good mood and has been feeling unwell these past few days.”
Before Wen Qiao could even say that she wanted to go with Shen Jichuan to visit Uncle Wu at the Wu family home...
Shen Jichuan spoke first, "Let's go take a look tomorrow morning. I can take the morning off."
“This can’t be blamed on Uncle Wu. He and his wife had a fight over money back then, and Uncle Wu was just trying to maintain harmony in his son and daughter-in-law’s family.”
Wen Qiao said, "Anyone with eyes can see that's how it is, but Wu Jiandong is probably just emotional right now."
“If you see Wu Jiandong this morning, say a few words to him,” Wen Qiao said with a snort.
In fact, Wen Qiao was quite willing to be filial to Wu Yongliang.
Wen Qiao could see that the old man was good to her mother. Her mother had truly undergone a transformation in her life by following Old Wu. From a rural woman who didn't even know how to fight back when she was beaten, she became literate, knew how to read newspapers, and understood the current economy after moving to the city. This was all thanks to Old Wu's guidance and support.
The two, who had married later in life, were doing quite well. Wen Qiao didn't want to upset them, nor did she want Wu Jiandong to upset Old Wu's health.
Shen Jichuan chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to Jiandong later."
Shen Jichuan meant that he needed to talk to Wu Jiandong about this matter, not necessarily at Wu's home, but at Wu Jiandong's workplace as well.
What was unexpected was that Wen Qiao and Shen Jichuan did not visit Wu Yongliang at the Wu family home the next morning.
That evening, Wu Yongliang suddenly fell ill and was rushed to the hospital.
Lü Yazhi called her daughter and son-in-law late at night, her voice trembling and choked with tears.
