Chapter 239: The Cuckoo Occupies the Magpie's Nest
Pearl walked over a few steps.
Pushed open the gate.
There were five or six strangers in the huge yard.
There are men and women, old and young.
I saw three boys pressing Ying Zhihai to the ground, saying, "Lie down on the ground and let us ride you like a horse. We want to ride horses."
"I don't want to be your horse. Let me go, let me go!" Xiao Hai struggled and tried to get up from the ground.
But he was only seven or eight years old, and he couldn't win against three people at once.
After struggling for a while, he was pinned to the ground.
A middle-aged man and woman sat under the grape vines by the courtyard wall, cracking melon seeds and chatting, laughing happily.
He spat out the melon seed shells, as if he was oblivious to what happened to Zhihai.
Under the eaves.
The person sitting in the recliner specially ordered by Wen Yan was not the Fifth Grandma, but a strange old woman.
The old woman was wearing a silk shirt. Wen Yan recognized it at a glance. She bought the material and asked Aunt Liu to help make it.
Grandma Wu sat on the mat next to her.
He was holding a round fan in his hand and fanning the strange old woman.
Probably because he heard Ying Zhihai's voice, he looked towards him with empty eyes: "Xiaohai? What's wrong with you, Xiaohai?"
The old woman on the recliner grabbed her hand and dragged her back: "Mother-in-law, nothing happened."
"But……"
"No buts, please fan me quickly, I'm almost dying of heat." The old woman yelled irritably.
Grandma Wu had no choice but to fan her.
The flowers and plants planted by Wen Yan were also damaged beyond recognition.
"Oh, there are guests at home!" Wen Yan said with a smile and walked in.
Several people in the yard looked at her.
Wen Yan walked straight towards Ying Zhihai.
A boy had already ridden on his back, pulling his pigtails and saying, "Gee, gee, gee!"
Wen Yan grabbed the boy by the back of his collar and lifted him up.
The boy immediately kicked around and yelled, "Who the hell did you come from? Let me go, let me go."
Wen Yan did not make things difficult for the child. She threw him aside and bent down to help Ying Zhihai up.
Ying Zhihai raised his chubby face, which was full of stubbornness.
"Xiao Hai, are you okay?" Wen Yan brushed off the dust on his pants.
Ying Zhihai's eyes were filled with tears at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Sister-in-law!" Ying Zhihai burst into tears and threw himself into Wen Yan's arms, "Sister-in-law, they bullied me."
Wen Yan held his little face and wiped away the tears on his face: "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law is back, no one can bully you in the future."
Ying Zhihai nodded, nestled in Wen Yan's arms, and refused to come out again.
"Oh, so this is my nephew's wife!" The woman who was eating melon seeds walked towards Wen Yan with a smile on her face.
The woman had prominent cheekbones, narrow cheeks, and a long, pointed chin.
When she smiled, she looked like a monkey that had become a spirit.
Wen Yan, holding Xiao Hai's hand, passed by her.
The woman was empty-handed.
Wen Yan walked straight to the Fifth Grandma, bowed politely and said, "Grandma, your granddaughter-in-law is back."
Fifth Granny's cloudy eyes were filled with tears, and her gaze seemed to have regained focus: "Yanyan, it's good that you're finally back! As long as you're safe!"
Wen Yan stepped forward to support the Fifth Grandma, then turned to the old woman and said, "Old lady, my grandmother has poor eyesight. You shouldn't fight for a chair with an old lady with eye problems, right?"
This chair is so comfortable to recline in.
The old woman didn't want to give in and was about to say something.
Then a middle-aged woman strode towards him.
She hugged the old woman's arm and winked desperately: "Mom, you have tried the chair, it's comfortable, right? I will make you an identical one someday so you can enjoy it too."
The old woman pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and then reluctantly gave up her chair.
Grandma Wu finally sat back in her chair.
The middle-aged woman held Wen Yan's hand affectionately and praised her profusely, "You must be Zhilin's wife. I am your second aunt."
I've heard that my eldest nephew married a very beautiful wife.
I didn’t want to believe it at first. No matter how beautiful a girl is in this world, can she be as beautiful as the fairies in the temple?
Until I saw you now, I didn’t know what it meant to be as beautiful as a fairy.”
As she spoke, she took off the silver bracelet on her wrist and stuffed it into Wen Yan's palm: "I can't take out anything valuable. This is the dowry that your grandmother, my mother, gave me when I got married.
I can't even bear to give my own daughter-in-law to you, so you are not allowed to despise me."
The moment Wen Yan held the bracelet, he knew from its weight that it was a fake silver-covered copper item.
If it were placed in a gold and silver shop, it would only be worth twenty or thirty cents.
“It turned out to be my second aunt.
You are my elder, and this bracelet is a small gift, but it carries a lot of weight. I love it so much, how could I possibly dislike it?" Wen Yan said, and put it on her wrist.
Didn’t Mrs. Qiao say that she was raised in a pampered manner in the home of a high-ranking official in the capital?
How can you be so short-sighted that you even want to accept a silver bracelet?
The muscles on Second Aunt's cheeks twitched a few times.
He was clearly embarrassed, but he forced a smile.
She waved to the three boys: "Come here."
"Grandma!"
The three boys came running over immediately.
Perhaps it was because Wen Yan was too rough when she carried the person away just now, which frightened the three boys so much that they dared not approach her and all hid behind their second aunt.
The second aunt immediately introduced them to each other: "These two are your eldest cousin's children, and this one is your second cousin's child.
Laibao, Laicai, Laifu, come and say hello to your cousin."
The three boys pouted and didn't want to shout.
Second aunt glared.
The three boys immediately became obedient: "Hello, auntie!"
Second aunt nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Wen Yan.
It is said that noble people value etiquette the most, and I gave her a bracelet as a gift.
Wen Yan is meeting a junior for the first time, how can he not give anything?
At least ten or eight taels of silver per person.
"They are all good children." Wen Yan smiled gently and said to Pei'er, "Go and get the box where I keep my toys."
Pearl quickly brought a wooden box.
Wen Yan opened the box and took out three mechanical toys from it, handing one to each of them: "Here, this is my gift to you. Take it and play with it."
When Second Aunt saw her take out a few wooden lumps, her face instantly turned dark.
Pooh!
He comes from a wealthy family, but he is even more stingy than a peasant woman like her.
but.
She stayed there for two days and judging from their food and clothes, she knew they were very rich.
She concealed her true emotions, forced a smile and let the child thank Wen Yan.
The three children snorted and ran away.
They played with the wood for a while and then threw it to the ground without any interest.
"Second aunt, I have been traveling for days, so I'll leave you first." Wen Yan bowed politely and prepared to leave with Pei'er.
Grandma Wu quickly called Wen Yan and handed her a bunch of keys.
Wen Yan was surprised at first.
It wasn't until I saw the door leading to the cross-courtyard was locked that I understood what was going on.
Pei'er closed the gate and said, "Miss, that family obviously regards this place as their own home, occupying the magpie's nest.
The second aunt's eyes were wandering, and it was obvious that her intentions were not pure.
Why don't you just chase them away? Why are you still giving in to them?"
Wen Yan said: "After all, she is Fifth Granny's biological daughter, and this is the home where she grew up.
Fifth Granny treats me well, so it doesn't matter if she's greedy for a little profit, but if she stirs up trouble..."
Wen Yan paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "If you want to destroy someone, you must first drive them crazy."
Pei'er scratched her head, not quite understanding.
Wen Yan suddenly knocked her head: "Pei'er, have we forgotten something?"
