Chapter 534 Everything for the Children
In previous years, when we visited the graves on Qingming Festival, we would first go to my uncle's house to meet up. This year, my uncle's whole family went to eat at the government's house, so the only place to meet up was my younger uncle's house.
As soon as I walked in, my aunt was very happy to see me. "Mengmeng, come on in. I'll get you some fruit."
Wensong still smiled at me shyly and said sincerely, "Thank you, Sister Mengmeng, for the exercise paper. I like it very much. It's very practical."
If his expression had not shown his sincerity, I would have thought he was speaking in a sarcastic way.
Wen Bo was different. He rushed over and gave me a bear hug. He was a big guy over 1.8 meters tall and almost knocked me away.
He gritted his teeth and complained, "Sister, you're so mean. You gave me so many exercise papers. I can't finish them. I can't finish them at all."
Right, this is the normal reaction of a child receiving a "gift".
"No, I will watch him finish writing. It won't be wasted." Wen Song adjusted his glasses and said seriously.
I suspect that Wensong has an adult's soul inside his body. He is so irrational. What kind of child would like exercises?
My aunt poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Xiaosong said a few days ago that the study materials you sent him were very useful. He finally turned around and became the first in the grade in this month's exam, having always been second."
Now I believe Wensong is truly grateful to me.
I quickly gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "Yeah, Xiaosong is awesome. You can take any exam you want in the future, whether it's postgraduate study, civil service exam, or civil service exam!"
Wen Song continued with a shy smile and said, "I will definitely take the postgraduate entrance examination."
My uncle sighed as if he had thought of something and said, "I can't even think about taking the civil service exam. Your grandma's incident has caused so much trouble. Sigh!"
"Mingli, is there any result in our mother's case?" After hearing what my uncle said, my father, a filial son, remembered that his mother was still in prison.
My uncle pinched his forehead tiredly and sighed, "It's almost done. My friend at the court told me privately that it's likely to be classified as kidnapping. Now we just have to wait for the amount of civil compensation to be determined, and then we'll have the result."
My father was silent. Even though he was not a law student, he knew that kidnapping was much more serious than illegal detention.
"Is there no other way? Can't your connections in the judicial system help?" This was all my father could think of.
"It's useless. Jundi's lawyer is too good. He's a professor at a top-tier law school in the country and a lecturer for the bar exam. His influence isn't limited to the legal community. Just look at the legal education videos he posted online in the past two years about Li Si breaking the law. Almost everyone in the country knows him.
Because of his status, the judges in our small county town have to call him Teacher He when they see him, and sentencing is as rigorous as taking an exam.
I don't know how Jundi managed to get this great god to come to her. "My uncle glanced at me as he spoke, but I pretended not to notice and continued eating sunflower seeds.
"Is it too late to persuade Mom and Jundi to mediate? Or should we go and persuade Mom again?" The only thing my dad could think of was spending money to avoid disaster.
"Second brother, don't go. If you go to persuade our mother, she will definitely agree, but she will definitely ask you to pay." My uncle's blunt words shut my father up.
My uncle really understands his own mother's character. No matter how many years have passed, her intention to cheat my father has never changed.
My uncle looked at my father with a tangled expression, hesitant to speak, and finally he gritted his teeth and said with determination: "Brother, our mother has been sentenced, and Wensong and Wenbo's future is over.
Your family is wealthy and you don't expect Mengmeng to take the civil service exam, but for a family like ours, joining the government is the best option.
For the sake of these two children, I may have to be selfish.
Then just pretend you don’t know, and then our mother and big brother won’t blame you.”
