Chapter 104: The Zhu Family Sells Good Farmland
Chen Hanxing had nothing to do today, so he stayed in the shop to teach Wen Zhenyi how to read. Wen Yongnan and Wen Yongman had fallen behind in their studies recently, so he helped them catch up.
The other members of the Wen family peeled the coconut meat, sliced it, dried it, and kept it for later use.
Wen Zhenyi has mastered certain methods of recognizing words, and now he learns much faster than before.
Seeing that she could remember quite a few words now, Chen Hanxing no longer limited herself to teaching her only ten words at a time, but tried to teach her as many as possible: "Sister Wen, if you can't remember, I'll teach you next time."
"I can remember these; they're not too difficult." Wen Zhenyi studied very seriously and wrote equally seriously.
It was the first time that Wen Yongnan and Wen Yongman saw her write, and now both of them were so depressed that they stopped talking.
Whether it's the way she holds the pen or the strokes she uses, they are much better than the two of them. If they don't work harder, they may not even be able to compare to her.
Chen Hanxing discovered that the two brothers of the Wen family were now studying extremely seriously, which was something that even the teachers in the private school could not do.
Wen Zhenyi didn't pay attention to the situation of his older and younger brothers, but concentrated on writing his own words, trying to engrave these words in his mind.
Ma Yinghe looked at the people studying seriously in the yard, with a smile on her face: "This is the first time I've seen Xiaonan and Xiaoman so serious."
Old Lady Wen smiled and said, "They saw that Yi Yi was more serious than them. It would be shameful for someone who attends a private school to not be as good as her sister."
Ma Yinghe seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Zhu Tao: "Little Taozi, do you want to learn calligraphy?"
Zhu Tao shook her head: "Aunt Wen, I don't want to learn. I'm stupid."
Old Mrs. Wen looked at her amusedly and said, "This has nothing to do with being stupid. Learning some characters will be beneficial to you in the future. When they have time, let Grandpa Wen and Uncle Wen teach you." As she spoke, she whispered, "We are embarrassed to ask your brother from the Shen family to teach you."
Zhu Tao smiled and nodded: "I know."
In fact, Zhu Tao has discovered during this period that Chen Hanxing is cold and indifferent to everyone, but he is special to Wen Zhenyi.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the words he had written on the paper and smiled with satisfaction: "Brother Shen, do you think everything is correct?"
Chen Hanxing took the paper from her hand, picked up the brush and rewrote next to a few words: "These words are slightly wrong."
Wen Zhenyi tilted his head and looked at it carefully: "It really is. I'll rewrite it."
Shen Hanxing smiled and nodded, then went to look at Wen Yongnan's homework.
Wen Yongnan whispered, "Did you teach Yiyi how to write?"
"I just taught her how to read. She practiced the strokes of writing on her own."
Wen Yongnan looked at his own handwriting, which was almost as bad as a dog's crawl. Then he looked at what Wen Zhenyi had written, and he decided to improve his handwriting.
Wen Zhenyi memorized all the characters and prepared to get up to prepare lunch. He planned to make some simple food at noon.
There was still a lot of leftovers from yesterday, so she planned to make some golden egg fried rice and some soup, and just eat them all.
Mr. Shen came during dinner and brought the final result of Boss Wu's matter.
Wen Zhenyi also opened a coconut for him to quench his thirst.
After Shen Xiucai finished a bowl of egg fried rice and drank a sip of coconut milk, he felt the heat disappear: "It's so comfortable."
"Brother Shen, is there any result from Boss Wu?"
"Yes. When I came here, I specifically went to the town government office to inquire about it. They said it was a natural death and the case has been closed."
Wen Zhenyi was slightly stunned. Although she had restored some of it, it would have been impossible for her to miss it if she had been careful.
Old Man Wen was also stunned: "Case closed?"
Mr. Shen put down the coconut in his hand and said, "Well, I heard that it was his wife who asked for the case to be closed."
"Isn't it an accident and homicide?"
"I heard that the bailiffs and the coroner didn't find anything suspicious. Boss Wu was not there when he fell asleep. At that time..." Mr. Shen thought of the children nearby and didn't continue.
"I just don't know if he'll cause us trouble if he leaves."
"Don't worry about that. He had many illegitimate sons and daughters before him. The family is almost in chaos. They are all fighting over the family property. They have no time to deal with you."
"That's good. We can rest assured now. It's time for Xiaonan and Xiaoman to go back to private school."
"Go back to the private school tomorrow and come back with me in the evening."
"I think it's okay, otherwise my studies will be delayed."
Wen Yongnan didn't have any of those complaints, but Wen Yongman felt a little melancholy. In fact, he still liked to stay with Wen Zhenyi and watch him make all kinds of delicious food.
Wen Zhenyi looked at him with a smile: "If there is something delicious, I will save it for you and also send it to you."
"Sister is still the best."
Shen Hanxing went back to the private school with Shen Xiucai at noon and came back for dinner in the afternoon.
Old Lady Wen saw that the chickens in the chicken coop were getting too crowded to keep them all in. She asked, "Yi Yi, why did you buy so many chickens?"
"I'm going to make some for dinner tomorrow, so I bought a few more because I was worried they wouldn't be enough."
"Since there's nothing to do here, your grandfather and I will go back tomorrow. We need to check on the crops in the fields and make the mop, otherwise everyone will have been waiting for a long time."
"Okay, buy some groceries tomorrow and then you can go back."
"Are you afraid that we will starve?" Old Mrs. Wen looked at her with a smile.
"I'm afraid you won't be willing to buy it."
Mrs. Wen shook her head helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
“Bang, bang, bang!”
"Excuse me, is the Wen family in Xinglin Village located here?"
Old Man Wen looked at the door to the backyard and said, "This is it. May I ask who this is?"
"I'm Zhu Er from Wanli Yahang."
Old Man Wen quickly stood up and opened the door. He saw Zhu Er standing at the door. "Zhu Ya Ren, why are you here?"
"Before, you said you wanted to buy good farmland and asked me to keep an eye on it. Now that I have the letter today, I came to ask if you still want to buy it."
"Please come in." Old Man Wen hurriedly let him into the yard.
The Wen family and Zhu Ya Ren greeted each other and sat down at the table in the yard.
Wen Chengwen poured a bowl of coconut juice for Zhu Ya Ren: "Zhu Ya Ren, the shop hasn't officially opened yet, so there's nothing to serve. Please don't be disgusted."
"I don't mind, I don't mind."
Old Lady Wen looked at him and asked, "Mr. Zhu, is there any news about the good fields?"
"These are the few acres of land in your village. They're desperate for money and are selling them for seven taels an acre. I just wanted to ask if you still want them?"
Old Mrs. Wen calculated the money she had. She had spent quite a bit of money on renting the shop, paying the tuition, and buying writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone. She figured the money she had might not be enough.
Ma Yinghe seemed to see what Old Lady Wen was thinking: "Mom, come with me."
