Chapter 13 Family Meeting, Three Obediences and Four Gains
Wen Hong and his two sons took out chairs, poured sugar water, and asked everyone to sit down. Jiang Qin was already busy preparing dinner.
Wen Hong called yesterday and learned his daughter would be home today. Before dawn, he went to town and bought two pounds of pork, just in time for her return. He made a large pot of stewed pork with potatoes, dried beans, and bamboo shoots, a salad with shredded romaine lettuce, stir-fried choy sum with lard, stir-fried spinach with garlic, and stir-fried pork with chili peppers, all served with fragrant rice. Each portion was generous, and the generous use of lard made the stir-fry fragrant.
Although there are many people, in this age where people can just barely get enough to eat, no one will complain about the food being bad. As long as they are full, it’s fine, not to mention there is meat.
After having lunch in the yard, Wen Zhu pulled Qian Xusen aside.
"I learned my medical skills secretly, and I haven't figured out how to tell my family yet. I don't have any extra rooms at home, and I can't accommodate you. Why don't you stay at the guesthouse in town first? I'll go to town every day to see you, and you can stay in the best single room. I'll pay for the accommodation. Is that okay with you?"
"No." The boy refused without even thinking.
I want to ignore him and just do the same as his father.
The boy looked hurt. His father had said he'd be with him next time, and ten years had passed in a flash. "Next time," "later"—that was bullshit. He'd thought she was different. After all, she'd run away, but she hadn't abandoned him.
But now, the girl also wants to trick him away and then ignore him.
Wen Zhu was speechless when he saw his expression of looking at a bad guy, but he also explained, "I have to go to school, big brother, I'm not a vagrant, my school is in town."
The young man hesitated and hadn't opened his mouth yet. Wen Zhu continued, "Don't worry, I guarantee it will be cured. If it doesn't, I'll refund you in full!"
The young man glanced at the kitchen, then looked away, and said awkwardly, "You said you would provide me with food and lodging, young master... well, I want to eat your meal."
Wen Zhu: ...She saw it! Her mother's cooking skills conquered the little prince's stomach.
"make a deal."
Wen Zhu successfully coaxed the arrogant boy away by giving him a meal cooked by his mother every day. She gave him money and a prescription and told him to buy the Chinese herbs on the list, grind them into powder, and apply them on his legs. She would come back to see him tomorrow.
In the end, the arrogant child only took the prescription and walked away on crutches. His mother handed him a bag of homemade vegetarian three-fresh buns, and he didn't refuse at all. He politely and quickly took the vegetarian three-fresh buns made by his mother and walked away arrogantly.
Leave a message. "I have money, I don't want yours."
Wen Zhu sighed again, this is really a good kid with a cold face but a warm heart, he knows she is poor.
As for Ice Face, he just said thank you and had dinner, then he had to leave. There was no need to make special instructions for someone he wouldn't see again in the future.
Moreover, Wen Zhu feels that most of the male protagonists in online novels have a very good trait: they talk little!
He wouldn't say a word unless asked, and if asked, he would just say "hmm" and nod. This was the rare thing she liked about him.
Wen Zhu's mother held his head down and bowed to Bing Lian to express her gratitude. Then Gu Zhenbei nodded to Wen Zhu's family, thanked them for the hospitality, glanced at Wen Zhu, and turned to leave.
Only she was left at home, so Wen Zhu called everyone into the main room. The family sat together, and she spoke solemnly.
"Mom, Dad, Brother, do you believe in dreams that can predict the future?"
Wen Hong, Jiang Qin, Jiang Jianbei, and Jiang Jianye all looked at Wen Zhu seriously. Although they were shocked, they all listened to her words carefully.
"I don't know if there are dreams that can predict the future, but I believe in my daughter," Wen Hong replied.
Wen Zhu suddenly understood what it meant to have a father's love as strong as a mountain, silent but firm. This was a feeling she had never experienced before.
Jiang Qin and his brothers nodded, agreeing with their father's words.
The third brother's eyes were particularly bright, flashing with unusual excitement.
Thinking of the comments about Third Brother's hidden attribute of being a crazy scientist in the future, I secretly made up my mind that I must guide Third Brother well and not let him go astray.
Wen Zhu continued, "I was able to escape because I had a dream. In the dream, someone told me that I would be kidnapped by human traffickers, my internal organs would be hollowed out, and my body would be mutilated. Although I was caught, I still escaped based on some clues. Otherwise, you might not have seen me."
Jiang Qin held her daughter in her arms and stroked her hair to comfort her.
"Yes, Mom believes it. I believe my daughter is a blessed and good girl. God couldn't bear to see you go, so he sent you a dream. Mom believes it, all of it."
As a soldier, the second brother firmly believes in materialism, but he also believes that his sister would not talk nonsense. After all, the world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things.
My sister said that she had predictive dreams, so they do exist.
Seeing that her family accepted it well, she continued, "My prophetic dream wasn't just about me. I also dreamt about all of you: Dad, Mom, eldest brother, second brother, and third brother. Surprisingly, none of us had a happy ending.
After I was abducted and disappeared, my father wanted to make amends, so he paid special attention to human trafficking cases. He even adopted a girl my own age to make up for what he owed me. He gave her all the money he had hidden. In the end, he fought with the traffickers, was stabbed, and bled to death.
After saying this, he looked at his father, who was surprised. He looked at Jiang Qin sincerely, "Wife, I swear, I really don't have any hidden money. I guarantee it with my integrity! This dream is pure slander. Where did I get my hidden money? If I have any, I won't give it to anyone else. I'll give it all to you and our child!"
Seeing his sincerity, Jiang Qin nodded and said to Wen Zhu, "It's impossible for your father to hide his private money behind my back."
Wen Zhu explained, "It's not now, and it's not private money. The dream said that it was earned by all of you later, and you all agreed to give it to her."
Wen Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his back.
But then he became doubtful, "You're our family's sweetheart. If you were missing, we would do everything in our power to find you. How could we possibly place our love for you on someone else? No matter how good we are to a replacement, we can't bring you back. You might still be suffering somewhere else. What kind of parent or brother would do such a foolish thing?"
Mom, second brother and third brother also nodded in agreement.
"If I can't find it, I will keep looking. Even when I'm old and can't walk anymore, I will keep looking. No matter how good others are, they are not the sweet babies that my mother carried for ten months. I just want my sweet baby to be fine."
"Big brother will definitely think so too." The third brother added.
When Wen Zhu heard his family's words, he felt warm in his heart and became more determined to save his family from the tragic fate.
How could a normal person use a substitute to express his or her guilt?
Wen Zhu then selectively talked about the tragic fate of his mother, eldest brother, second brother, and third brother.
The atmosphere at home became extremely serious, with dark clouds hanging over everyone's head.
Wen Zhu spoke at the right time, "My prophetic dream is not just a one-time thing. It will remind me when we are about to encounter danger, so we don't have to worry too much. As long as our family becomes strong, no one can decide our fate!"
"I've thought about it carefully. According to Guaibao's predictive dream, our fate is sometimes caused by bad luck, but more often it is man-made disasters, and these are man-made disasters caused by money and power. So our family must establish a family motto in the future." Wen Hong said in a deep voice.
"Three obediences and four gains. Join politics, join the military, join business, gain power, gain influence, gain fame, and gain profit!"
