Chapter 3: The husband's entire family is dead, and there are no descendants for three generations.
Their idea is quite good.
As a result, one day, two days, three days, and half a month passed.
Wen Ni showed no sign of backing down...
Sun Yuling couldn't hold back any longer, and she started whispering in Wen Yuanshan's ear, offering suggestions.
"Old Wen, there's a lot of talk going around saying that the Wen family in Phoenix Village has produced a ruthless ancestor who doesn't recognize his own family. Have you heard about it?"
"Hmm..." Wen Yuanshan replied listlessly.
“If things continue like this, Wen Ni’s reputation will be ruined, and she’ll definitely have a hard time finding a husband in the future. So, Secretary Wang and I discussed it and decided that we should hurry up and arrange a marriage for her and get her married off!”
“We’re doing this for Wen Ni’s own good. Otherwise, what will happen if she can’t get married and no one wants her? Besides, doesn’t she want Wen Cheng to go to school? We can forgo all the dowry from her husband’s family and use it for Wen Cheng’s tuition! If we can manage to do this, we’ll both be at peace with ourselves!”
"Yu Ling, you really are thoughtful. Wen Ni treated you like that, yet you still think of her in every way..."
"Hey, they're just kids, how could I really hold a grudge against them?"
Sun Yuling blinked, her smile stretching almost to her ears.
As an intermediary, Party Secretary Wang personally visited Wen Ni again.
"The Song family in the next village is a wealthy family. If you marry into their family and give birth to a son, I guarantee you'll never have to worry about money for the rest of your life!"
"The eldest son of the Song family is already forty years old, right? With such wealth, why is he having trouble finding a wife? Could he be suffering from some serious illness?"
Wen Ni remained silent, while Xiao Cheng beside her frowned in confusion.
"Isn't it good to have a serious illness? It's better to die sooner rather than later, then all the property will belong to Wen Ni!" Secretary Wang didn't intend to discuss it with them, but instead directly notified them.
"The marriage is settled, don't worry. The Song family has already brought the betrothal gifts, and they'll be here to pick us up in a couple of days!"
"In that case, let the Song family come to pick them up on time." Wen Ni smiled coldly and did not refuse; instead, she agreed with great ease!
"Sister!?" Wen Cheng looked at her with concern.
"Wen Ni is so sensible!" Secretary Wang laughed heartily.
The appointed day arrived in the blink of an eye.
The Song family from the neighboring village came to the village early in the morning to propose marriage and pick up the bride.
The man sitting in the wheelchair at the very front, with a crooked mouth and eyes, is the eldest son of the Song family, who is forty years old and still unmarried.
They were overjoyed and excitedly thinking about marrying a beautiful bride, but they never expected that as soon as they arrived at the door of the Wen family's house, they would see stacks of white paper money falling from the sky like snowflakes!
The courtyard gate opened
Wearing a white headscarf and dressed in plain white mourning clothes, Wen Ni walked out, holding her deceased mother's portrait in her hands.
In front of everyone, she knelt down facing the direction of her deceased mother's grave!
"Your unfilial daughter, Wen Ni, left home before the mourning period was over. Now that she has returned, she is willing to continue the mourning period for her mother for three more years. During these three years, she will not marry or remarry! If she disobeys, everything will go wrong, she will lose all her money, her husband's entire family will die, and her family will have no descendants for three generations!"
"What!?"
Upon hearing this ominous curse, the Song family thought, "How can this marriage possibly go ahead?" They quickly made a phone call and summoned Wen Yuanshan.
Wen Yuanshan rushed to the scene, and when he saw the scene, he immediately felt dizzy and almost fainted from shock!
"Wen Ni! What are you doing?"
"Do you know what kind of reputation you've earned among the neighbors since you came back? I'm too embarrassed to even hear it from you! It's all thanks to your kind-hearted Aunt Sun who found you a husband. The Song family is a prominent and wealthy family, and it's rare that they don't care about all the rumors about you and are willing to give a generous dowry!"
"Your Aunt Sun specifically instructed that she wouldn't take a single penny of the bride price; she'd save it all for Wen Cheng's schooling. It's such a perfect deal, why do you have to be so stubborn and cause all this trouble?!"
He arranged a marriage for Wen Ni behind her back, concealing the situation from her husband's family, wanting only to marry her off and end it all. Yet he still had the nerve to claim it was for her own good?
Wen Ni's eyelashes trembled.
"Three years ago, I gave up my future just to give my younger brother a better future. I don't regret what I went through, because it was something I did willingly."
"But this time, you actually want to use the excuse that everything is for our own good to sell me out and make up for the losses you've squandered? Let me tell you straight, don't even think about it!"
"So what if my reputation is ruined and I can't get married in this lifetime? My reputation is worse than your conscience. Even if no one wants me, I don't need to compromise myself or belittle myself!"
Her words stunned everyone; they had never imagined that Wen Ni would be so assertive!
Wen Yuanshan chuckled, somewhat embarrassed. "How did I sell you out? Wen Ni, how could you misunderstand my and your Aunt Sun's intentions?"
That's enough.
Wen Ni suppressed the emotions surging in her heart, and with her voice regained, she interrupted Wen Yuanshan's feigned affection.
"Wen Yuanshan, after saying so many insincere things and doing so many disgusting things, isn't your ultimate goal just to make us leave? Fine, we won't stay here, but you won't stay either!"
As soon as the words fell
The sound of a machine starting up came from behind them, and everyone stared blankly toward the source of the sound.
But there was an excavator parked in the yard!
The huge claws suddenly slammed into the brick and mud house, and with a few loud rumbles, half of the house was demolished, leaving only a pile of dirt and ruins!
"Wen Ni! Are you crazy!?"
Wen Yuanshan was utterly shocked. Pointing to the house that was half demolished, he said in a trembling voice, "That was our home, the house that your mother and I built with our own hands, brick by brick!"
"So you still remember that was our home, but you destroyed it with your own hands the moment you married that woman!"
"Father, belated affection is worth less than grass. If you could have shared even a fraction of the kindness you showed to Sun Yuling with Mother, she wouldn't have passed away so young, toiling away until her death!"
"Wen Cheng, let's go."
Wen Ni, dressed in plain white, strode ahead, her gaze resolute and unwavering. Wen Cheng lowered her head and silently brushed past Wen Yuanshan.
Behind him, eighteen years of time collapsed at this moment!
Before leaving, Wen Ni took Wen Cheng to pay respects at her mother's grave and took a handful of soil from the grave with her.
As long as Mom is here, home is here.
Without Mom, home is gone.
No matter how hard they tried to look back, they could no longer see the house at the end of the road.
Since that's the case, let's look forward!
Because my mother's grave is in front...
After traversing vast fields, we arrived at the city center, lined with towering skyscrapers.
With the little money she had, Wen Ni took Wen Cheng to a cheap hotel.
"Young lady, are you short of money? I have some good work here, you can make a fortune!"
After settling in, Wen Ni prepared to go out alone, but she was stopped by the hotel owner as soon as she reached the hotel bar.
The owner was a middle-aged man with small, smiling eyes. He glanced at Wen Ni and then pulled out a colorful, erotic advertisement from behind the bar.
[Hiring technicians, those with excellent figure and appearance will be given priority] The large sign was incredibly eye-catching!
