A thousand-mile long dike can be destroyed by an ant hole.
The Wen family was still far from being a "thousand-mile dike". It was only with Wen Dongrong's help that they were able to wash the yellow mud off their feet and get ashore to become city dwellers.
If a large family that has just settled in a small city wants to cause trouble, there are loopholes everywhere.
The most fundamental thing is to deal with Wen Dongrong. The Wen family has encountered a big change. How can the parents have the mood to send Wen Ying to Chengdu to study? Only by studying in a key provincial school can Wen Ying meet all kinds of rich second-generation friends. If she returns to her hometown in a small city, her ambitions will be in vain and she will have nowhere to display them!
This plan is to cut off the source of funds. Wen Ying refused to accept Zhao Dong's financial support, so Zhao Dong wanted her to stay at the bottom of society for the rest of her life.
Zhao Dong did not choose this method, not because he still had a conscience, but because this method would cause too much noise. If Wen Dongrong was greedy, Zhao Dong would use money to drag him into the water without saying a word. However, considering that Zhao Dong asked someone to investigate, Wen Dongrong was a person who was very careful about his reputation in the unit.
Wen Dongrong loves power more than money and is a complete official-worshiper.
If Zhao Dong could manipulate Wen Dongrong to get promoted, he wouldn't have to rush to rely on the Xie family. He would be awesome enough.
Since the method of removing the fuel from the fire doesn't work, Zhao Dong has to focus on the entire Wen family.
What are the loopholes of the Wen family?
Wen Dongrong has two brothers and a sister.
There seems to be nothing wrong with the two brothers, but there is something wrong with my sister's family.
Shu Guobing, who has high expectations but poor skills and makes a living as an alcoholic, is Zhao Dong's target.
Further investigation revealed that Shu Guobing had a daughter named Shu Lu, who was beautiful and smart, and her personality was a replica of Shu Guobing... Shu Lu said at school that her father worked in a government agency and her mother was a bank manager, completely imitating Wen Ying's family background. A girl like this, with good personal conditions, was born in a poor family. She would definitely not willingly accept her fate!
Jealousy, greed, these emotions are the easiest to exploit.
Zhao Dong picked up Shu Lu's information and flicked it with his fingers:
"Just wait, I'll vent your anger for you."
Zhao Qian was filled with joy: "Brother, you are the best!"
…
Thanks to Grandma Wen’s publicity, everyone in the Wen family knew that Wen Ying had appeared on TV.
In the old lady's heart, Wen Kai is still her most precious grandson.
Wen Ying is tending to become the second most beloved granddaughter.
The reason is that Wen Ying has been quite successful recently. She was admitted to a key high school in the provincial capital, so Wen Dongrong and Chen Ru don't have to pay high tuition fees.
Then, not wanting to burden his parents too much, he actually set up a stall to make money.
In Grandma Wen’s view, this is called “having a conscience.”
The elderly prefer sons to daughters, which is not only due to the remnants of feudal ideas, but also influenced by the surrounding environment.
A daughter raised up belongs to someone else's family, and a daughter married off is like spilled water. In the countryside, daughters don't have to provide for their parents in their old age. Wen Hongyan practices this very well. Not to mention providing for her own mother in her old age, if she doesn't scrape some fat off Grandma Wen's skinny chicken feet, Grandma Wen would be chanting Amitabha.
With a "money-losing girl" like Wen Hongyan around, it's only natural for the old lady to favor sons over daughters. If it weren't for the strict family planning policy, the old lady would have urged Wen Dongrong and Chen Ru to have a son - in fact, she did, but Chen Ru talked her out of it. Wen Dongrong refused to take the risk of having more children, so the old lady gave up.
Grandma Wen is worried about her second son and daughter-in-law. If she doesn’t give birth to a son, how will she support herself in the future?
Wen Dongrong said that his daughter would take care of him in his old age, but Grandma Wen didn't realize it.
The old lady has a deep-rooted belief that girls are not as promising as boys.
Now Grandma Wen has changed her mind a bit, thanks to Wen Kai who brainwashes the old lady every day.
"Wen Ying got into a provincial key university, so why should she worry about the college entrance exam? It's easy to get into a provincial key university. In three years, Wen Ying might do better than me!"
Is the granddaughter better than the grandson?
The world was too magical. Grandma Wen needed to take a break. She grabbed Wen Kai's arm and asked, "So what you mean is that Wen Ying can still take care of your second uncle and second aunt in the future?"
Grandma Wen’s idea is very straightforward. If you can get into a good university, you can have a good job. A good job pays high, so you will have enough time to take care of your parents.
Wen Kai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Grandma, nowadays, most people are only children. Who wouldn't provide for their parents in their old age? It has nothing to do with gender, it has to do with one's conscience!"
Wen Kai didn't want to blame his elders, but cases like his aunt Wen Hongyan were exceptions after all.
The old lady remembered what Wen Kai said about "conscience".
On the other hand, Wen Hongyan had a rare bleeding episode, so she bought a set of summer clothes for Grandma Wen, which confused the old lady.
The old lady must have been stunned when she realized that Wen Ying had a conscience and could be relied upon in the future. Her stingy daughter suddenly had a conscience.
"I have clothes to wear, so you don't need to spend money. You can save your money for Shulu's education."
That’s what they say, but what elderly person in the world doesn’t want their children to be filial to them? Hearing grandma touching the fabric of clothes makes me happy.
Wen Hongyan saw that her mother was happy, and patiently listened to the old lady praising Wen Kai and Wen Ying, saying that Wen Ying must have worked very hard to set up a stall and appear on TV.
Wen Hongyan was not happy to hear that.
"Wen Ying is setting up a street stall, so how could my second brother's family be short of money? He's just pretending to be poor in front of everyone, especially us... Mom, can you please help me put in a good word for my second brother? This summer, Lulu wants to go to cram school. Wen Ying can get into a provincial key school, so how could Lulu, who is so smart, not be able to get in? Money is really tight at home, and I have no choice but to ask for your help."
Grandma Wen suddenly understood.
It turned out that she needed a favor from someone. No wonder he bought her a set of clothes even though it wasn't a festival.
Grandma Wen did not refuse at first, but asked Wen Hongyan's daughter Shu Lu what kind of tutoring class she wanted to attend.
"I heard Kai say that it only costs a few hundred yuan to make up for the summer vacation. Your family can't even afford a few hundred yuan?"
If it's really not convenient, Grandma Wen can do it for Shu Lu.
I gave Wen Ying two thousand yuan last month, and Grandma Wen plans to donate one thousand yuan to sponsor Shulu.
Don’t talk to the old lady about fairness. One is surnamed Wen and the other is surnamed Shu. This is what the old lady thinks is fair.
As a result, Wen Hongyan opened her mouth and said that she wanted to send Shulu to study with Wen Ying.
Wen Hongyan was smug: "If the teacher gives extra lessons to one person, it's extra lessons. If he adds one more person, it's still extra lessons. Shulu is very smart. She will definitely understand what the teacher says."
Only Wen Hongyan thought it was natural to take advantage of two people by paying one price.
If it was before, it wouldn't be impossible for Wen Hongyan to have a good talk with Wen Dongrong... But now, Wen Dongrong is still angry.
Grandma Wen stuffed the bag of clothes into Wen Hongyan's arms and said, "Hongyan, your clothes are not worn by your mother. Go and tell your second brother, he will agree to it. As your mother, I am happy for you."
Wen Hongyan was sent back home.
Since the old lady refused to help, Wen Hongyan had no choice but to drag her husband Shu Guobing to apologize to her second brother Wen Dongrong.
Shu Guobing returned home drunk and flushed, scoffing at the idea of apologizing to Wen Dongrong:
"Do I need to apologize to him? I have a noble person to support me now, and he won't even be worthy of licking my shoes in the future!"
