Chapter 238: Someone is coming home
Wen Yan then told her about the new store: "This business is to make money from those wives of officials. If I don't have a background, why would they care about me?
I have a bad reputation in the capital. If someone dislikes me and deliberately picks on me, I will be completely taken advantage of by them since I have no power, influence, or backing.
Mrs. Bai knew that what Wen Yan said was a mixture of truth and lies. She just wanted to make money for the Meng family to repay the Meng family for taking care of her over the years.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Bai no longer refused.
However, Mrs. Bai still contributed one thousand taels of capital and the shop.
Wen Yan said: “We want to enter the high-end market, so ordinary stores will definitely not work.
Stepmother, do you have a quiet and spacious house?"
Mrs. Bai gave a house from her dowry to Wen Yan for business.
Wen Yan immediately started to sing praises to Madam Bai, saying, "You have a clever tongue that pleases me the most. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll have two extra bowls of dinner later."
After having lunch with Mrs. Bai, Wen Yan went to find Chen Qi.
Take him back to the village today.
Brother Chen Wu, holding a lunch box, stood outside the door and lingered, advising him earnestly, "Seventh Brother, just eat something.
Look at how thin you are. If you don’t eat, you will starve to death.
Wen Yan has returned. If she sees you in this state, she will definitely be furious."
"Tell him to get out, I don't want to see her. Liar, you are all liars." Chen Qi was so angry that he cursed in the house.
Wen Yan was called a liar before she even entered the door, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Wen Yan walked over and took the food box: "Fifth brother, let me do it."
Brother Chen Wu whispered, "Be careful, he's been in a bad mood lately."
Wen Yan made an 'I can do it' gesture to him, "Don't worry, I can handle it.
However, just in case, Fifth Brother, you should find some people to wait outside the yard in case of emergency."
Brother Chen Wu couldn't help laughing: "I thought you were capable of doing this! I didn't expect you were also afraid."
Wen Yan smiled and said, "It's better to be prepared."
Brother Chen Wu went out to look for someone.
Wen Yan entered the room carrying a lunch box.
"Hey, who made our brother Chen Qi angry? He even refused to eat lunch."
Brother Chen Qi looked back at her, snorted coldly, then turned back and faced her with the back of his head.
Brother Chen Qi was sitting on the chaise longue in front of the window, with a wide robe covering him like a piece of cloth.
I feel much better than last time.
Wen Yan came up to him with a smile and said, "Ah, some people are adults, but why do they still act like children?"
She placed the food in front of him and said, "Here, eat. How can you have the energy to continue being angry if you don't have a full meal?"
Brother Chen Qi propped himself up and twisted to the other side: "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."
"I know I broke my promise to you last time I left without saying goodbye.
I apologize to you. I'm sorry. Brother Qi, please forgive me. I promise I will never do it again.
No matter how urgent the matter is, I will tell you before I leave."
Wen Yan bowed deeply to him.
Brother Chen Qi's body trembled. He wanted to look back at Wen Yan, but he held himself back.
After apologizing, she became cheerful again.
She scooped a spoonful of rice and fed it to his mouth: "Here, I apologized too, let's eat well, and after dinner, let's go back to the village together.
If we spend too long in the city, we'll have to travel at night.
Come, ah..."
The food is already at my mouth.
Brother Chen Qi thought, although Wen Yan did not keep her promise, she had apologized sincerely just now.
It's better to stop while you can and forgive her.
He was about to open his mouth to eat.
Wen Yan was already getting impatient.
She threw the spoon into the bowl and stood up suddenly: "Humph, you really don't want to drink the toast and then drink the forfeit."
She stood up and walked out the door.
Brother Chen Qi suddenly felt panic for no reason and was about to call her back.
However, before he could speak, Wen Yan had already stormed out of the room.
She walked so fast, as if a dog was chasing her, and she disappeared out the door in the blink of an eye.
Brother Chen Qi's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
He withdrew his hand awkwardly and began to regret it: "Oh! I let you do it! Look now, Wen Yan is completely annoyed."
Wen Yan stood in the yard and waved: "Fifth brother, bring the person in."
Afterwards, Brother Chen Wu brought a few people into the yard, and then followed Wen Yan into the room.
Wen Yan pointed at Chen Qi and said, "Tie him up and throw him into my carriage."
"You...what are you going to do!?"
The servant of the Meng family said with a smile: "Seventh Master, this is Miss Wen Yan's order. If you cooperate obediently, you will suffer less."
Chen Qi: “…”
He had the illusion that he was being forced by the bully.
Soon, Chen Qi was wrapped like a dumpling and thrown into the carriage.
Chen Qi struggled: "Let me go, my luggage is not collected yet..."
Bang!
A large package was thrown into the carriage.
Brother Chen Wu clapped his hands and said, "Here, I have packed your luggage, please leave quickly."
Brother Chen Wu slapped the horse on the butt: "Go away, don't come back if you are fine."
Brother Chen Qi: "You really are my brother!"
Madam Bai stood at the door, watching the carriage go away, with a smile in her eyes: "To deal with you troublemakers, you still have to go to Wen Yanlai."
Brother Chen Wu also laughed: "That's right! Wen Yan hasn't even used her trump card today, and Old Seven is already behaving well."
Mrs. Bai couldn't help laughing when she thought of Xiaoqi being wrapped like a dumpling.
Wen Yan and the others traveled quickly and soon returned to Songshan Village.
After two months, Songshan Village has changed dramatically.
The crops in the fields have grown taller.
After entering the village, the villagers greeted us warmly.
"Mrs. Scholar, you're back!"
"Mrs. Xiucai, where have you been all this time? Why haven't I seen you?"
Suddenly, someone said anxiously: "Mrs. Xiucai, please go home quickly. Something happened at home."
"Something happened? What happened?" Wen Yan asked.
"The fifth grandmother's eldest daughter and son-in-law are back. Her eldest daughter said her in-laws couldn't tolerate her and she cried and hanged herself three times. A family of more than a dozen people have moved into your house."
"Where's Ying Zhilin? Isn't he at home?"
The man shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't seen Ying Xiucai for several days."
Wen Yan smiled and thanked him, then handed him a bag of snacks: "Thank you, Auntie. Come to my house for tea and chat when you have time."
After saying goodbye to her aunt, Wen Yan went home.
As soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Wen Yan heard the sounds of children playing and arguing, and adults beating and scolding.
Pearl frowned, feeling worried: "It sounds like there are a lot of people, miss, they won't break into your yard, will they?"
"Don't panic. No matter what the situation is, go in and take a look." Wen Yan patted his hand soothingly and jumped out of the carriage first.
Pei'er also jumped off the carriage and trotted to Wen Yan: "Miss, I'll open the door for you."
