"Xiaoxi, is there anything I can do for you?" Jiang Yue asked as she approached Wenxi.
Wen Xi thought for a moment and then said, "No need, you can take my luggage back to my room for me!"
If she leaves it outside and her family knows what's in her luggage, she won't be able to take out anything else. She'll have to see what the family needs and then take that out.
"Okay." Jiang Yue nodded happily and quickly left the kitchen to carry Wen Xi's several huge suitcases to the room. She didn't know when Wen Xi went out to buy the things, nor how she brought them back to the guesthouse.
When Wen Xinchun came back, he also packed a roast duck. After all, his son had suffered in the mountains and his daughter had suffered in the countryside, so he definitely wanted to buy them something good to make them feel better.
Fearing that Pei Xi might misunderstand Wen Xi, she even made a special trip to his workplace to tell him about Wen Xi being signed up by Wen Rou to go to the countryside.
Otherwise, if he really misunderstood that Wenxi had eloped with that young punk, he would definitely give Wenxi a good scolding without even asking any questions when he came back.
No one would accept such a shameful thing, but fortunately, that's not the truth.
When it was noon, Pei Xiwang finished get off work and rushed home, eager to see his son and daughter whom he hadn't seen for almost a year.
Seeing Pei Xiwang enter the door and see his son and daughter standing together happily, Pei Xiwang felt content with his life. Then, thinking that it was Wenrou who signed Wenxi up for the rural service program and ruined Wenxi's reputation, he became furious. "I'm going to deal with Wenrou right now. She directed and acted in this whole drama and ruined the whole family so badly."
“Dad.” Wen Xi hurriedly grabbed Pei Xiwang’s arm. “Dad, we don’t have any evidence right now. If we go to her door rashly, my eldest sister won’t admit it. If she cries, everyone will think that our family doesn’t treat our daughter well and treats her like water spilled from a cup. Let’s wait until we have evidence. It will take a year for our family to reunite. Let’s sit down today and have a peaceful meal. We can talk about everything later.”
All I need to do is let my parents know Wenrou's true colors. They don't need to help me deal with Wenrou, because I've already done it. Wenrou is too busy dealing with her crumbling marriage to have time to scheme against me.
“Yes, Dad, you’ve worked hard all morning. Let’s have lunch first, and we can talk about everything later,” Pei Jingzhou said.
Since Wenrou was behind all of this, he definitely had to investigate thoroughly to see why she did it, since the family had never mistreated her.
Moreover, since Wenrou started elementary school, she has hardly done any housework. It can be said that she is treated the best at home, and it is unknown what her purpose is.
When the fourth and fifth brothers returned, the family sat down to eat. The fourth and fifth brothers were quite shocked when they saw the sumptuous meal on the table.
Although both parents have jobs and salaries, the expenses for their two sons' education and food are considerable, and they also occasionally have to help out their eldest daughter. As a result, there are rarely so many meat dishes on their table, and even when there are meat dishes, there is only one.
"Little Four, Little Five, today's meals were all cooked by your Third Sister, and she even bought the ingredients. Hurry up and thank your Third Sister. All you do is go out and have fun, and you don't even know how to come home and help out. In a couple of years, you'll both have to go to the countryside." Wen Xinchun rolled her eyes at them.
"Third sister, you've worked hard. Thank you, third sister." The fourth and fifth brothers hurriedly thanked Wenxi.
Wen Xi smiled faintly, "Let's eat!"
Today there was goose, fish, eggs, and roast duck—it was even more lavish than Chinese New Year! Little Four and Little Five couldn't wait to start eating. Although they were eager, they weren't greedy. They ate one piece at a time instead of piling more into their own bowls.
"Second brother, you should try it too, and see how my cooking is," Wen Xi said with a smile.
Pei Jingzhou looked at Wenxi with heartache. He regretted not going to that place in the first place. If he had stayed at home, Wenxi wouldn't have had to suffer like this.
"Xiaoyue, you eat too, don't be shy." Wenxi said to Jiang Yue, then picked up a fish head for herself, put it in her bowl, and slowly began to eat.
Although there is little meat in the fish head, it is very delicious, especially when stewed with tofu. Even the soup is so fragrant that it makes you want to swallow your tongue.
Everyone happily ate, impressed by Wenxi's cooking skills, and felt even more sorry for her, knowing she must have suffered a lot in the countryside.
After dinner, Wenxi took out the clothes and shoes she had bought for Pei Xiwang and gave them to him. Everyone in the family had them, so surely her father wouldn't be left out, otherwise he would think she was being biased!
Pei Xi felt a warm glow in his heart when he received the clothes and shoes. His daughter had grown up and knew how to be filial to him, unlike his eldest and second sons, who either hadn't thought of this or were simply heartless.
Pei Jingzhou was glared at by his father and awkwardly looked away. He really hadn't done a good job, not even as well as Wen Xi!
"Mom, Xiaoyue and I are going to visit some friends. We'll come back tonight." Leaving Chen Jiaojiao alone at the guesthouse must be incredibly boring for her. They could go for a walk in the park or read some books at the library in the afternoon, and then come back in the evening.
Wen Xinchun nodded. "Okay, then you all take care of yourselves. Don't go to secluded corners or alleys, and protect yourselves."
"Okay, Mom." After that, Wenxi and Jiang Yue went back to their room to get ready, both of them covering themselves up completely before going out.
Pei Jingzhou didn't stay at home in the afternoon either. He went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some candy and pastries. Then he carried the things to Wenrou and Yang Lianghui's house. Although Wenrou was a rude person, the child still called him uncle, so he couldn't ignore the child.
At this time, Wenrou and Yang Lianghui were both at work and not at home, which made it convenient for Pei Jingzhou to do some underhanded things.
When they arrived at Wenrou's house, there were indeed only two children there. The two children were overjoyed to see their uncle and excitedly rushed towards Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou gave each of them a piece of pastry and said, "Eat slowly. The rest of the pastries will be kept by your mother when she comes back. She will give you a little bit every day from now on."
After letting the two children eat pastries in the living room, Pei Jingzhou went to Wenrou and Yang Lianghui's room. He saw some books on a table against the wall, so he started flipping through them. After flipping through them, he put the books back in their original place, making sure that Wenrou and Yang Lianghui wouldn't find out that their house had been disturbed.
Pei Jingzhou searched Wenrou's house thoroughly, even finding her secret stash of money, but he couldn't find any of Wenxi's letters. It seemed that Wenrou had already destroyed all of Wenxi's letters.
However, Pei Jingzhou put all the private money he found into the pocket of Wenrou's cotton-padded jacket. After all, Wenrou still had to raise two children. If Yang Lianghui spent the money, what would happen to the two children?
