The provincial key school has two days left for new students to register.
Wen Ying signed up, went to watch Li Mengjiao's competition, finished the first draft of the article for the New Concept Writing Competition, took the computer given by Xie Qian home openly, and went to the late-night snack street in the evening. It can be said that she made the most of the two days.
While Wen Ying was living a happy and fulfilling life, the Shu family was in a state of gloom.
After receiving Zhao Dong's signal, Boss Cai told Wen Hongyan and Shu Lu that he had tried everything but failed to rescue Shu Guobing.
"His situation is quite serious and he may be sentenced."
Boss Cai was helpless. Wen Hongyan scolded her second brother Wen Dongrong for being cruel. She dragged Shu Lu back to her hometown overnight and went to find Grandma Wen to cry about Wen Dongrong's unkindness.
Grandma Wen was stunned when she heard this.
"Dongrong has locked up the national soldiers?"
"That's right. Our family had just started to get better, and my second brother is killing us like this. He wants to force us mother and me to beg for food!"
Wen Hongyan said that she has lost her job now. If her husband Shu Guobing goes to jail again, she will have no choice but to send Shu Lu to the door of Wen Dongrong's unit and hang herself with a rope to put an end to it.
Grandma Wen was so angry that she hit Wen Hongyan with her hand:
"How dare you bring this up? Your second brother borrowed so many favors to get you a job, and yet you quit? It's only been a few days and you've come back dejected, saying you can't make it. Who do you want to blame? Blame yourself. You've become so poor that you've forgotten your own worth!"
Shu Lu cried and stood in front of Wen Hongyan, but the old lady walked around Shu Lu and hit Wen Hongyan hard several times.
"Tell me the truth, what did your Shu Guobing do to Dongrong to make him so angry?"
Wen Hongyan hesitated.
Shu Lu wiped her tears and recounted the whole story in a simple and concise manner, avoiding the important points.
"Grandma, I know what my dad did was wrong, and I know my second uncle is right to be angry, but he is my dad after all. I, I..."
Grandma Wen was so angry that she wanted to hit Wen Hongyan again. Wen Hongyan fell to her knees and hugged Grandma Wen's legs:
"Mom, I know I was wrong, and Guo Bing has also learned his lesson. Please help us this time!"
Every family has its own problems. When they were in the countryside, everyone lived in poverty. After moving to the city, the three sons' families were able to live a good life, but Wen Hongyan's family was the only one that was in turmoil all day long.
The older generation had no concept of "divorce". Women followed their husbands wherever they went. Grandma Wen felt that Wen Hongyan had a bad fate and chose a man like Shu Guobing, but she never thought of letting Wen Hongyan divorce and completely get rid of Shu Guobing.
The old lady was indeed patriarchal, but Wen Hongyan was the piece of flesh that fell from her belly. Seeing Wen Hongyan kneeling on the ground crying with tears and snot all over her face, she felt a little soft-hearted.
Before he could say anything, Wen Kai opened the door and walked out.
"Grandma, you'd better not get involved in this. Second Uncle isn't from the public security, procuratorial or judicial organs, so how could he order someone to be arrested? You don't even know what's going on, and you're asking Second Uncle to release someone. It'll be difficult for Second Uncle too."
What Shu Lu said may not be the truth.
Shu Lu has been cunning since she was a child, and Wen Kai has never had a good impression of this cousin.
It’s okay for girls to be narrow-minded, but why do they lie to their classmates at school and say that their parents work in government agencies or banks?
Borrowing Wen Ying's family background and accepting financial support from his second uncle and second aunt, he now wants to turn around and step on Wen Ying. Wen Kai can't stand such behavior.
Wen Kai doesn't quite believe what a person who doesn't know how to be grateful says.
Wen Hongyan glared at Wen Kai, and Shu Lu's sobbing paused.
Wen Kai has been close to Wen Ying since childhood. Shu Lu knows that everyone despises the poor and loves the rich, but at this time, her father is still in prison. Isn't Wen Kai adding insult to injury by saying this?
It was obvious that grandma was about to agree to help them!
"Brother Kai, I know you don't like me, and I don't expect you to be as nice to me as you are to Wen Ying, but Dad... Mom, get up and stop kneeling. We are both annoying here, mother and daughter. Don't make things difficult for Grandma. At worst, let Dad go to jail. I can stop studying and work, and I can still support you."
Wen Hongyan burst into tears.
Wen Kai frowned.
This made it sound as if Wen Kai was bullying the orphan and the widow.
Grandma Wen was so upset by the crying that she asked, "How about calling your second uncle and asking him what's going on?"
Wen Kai firmly disagreed.
Shu Lu said she was leaving, but her feet seemed to have taken root in Wen Kai's living room, and Wen Hongyan even stayed at her eldest brother's house.
Zhu Meiqun was listening to the noise in the kitchen, so she called Wen Kai to the kitchen and told him that he was meddling in other people's business.
"Your aunt is just a dog-skin plaster. Once she gets involved, she can't get rid of it. Why do you care about this?"
With Wen Hongyan's thick skin, when she was at her wit's end, she would definitely throw Shu Lu to her own home, let her family raise her daughter, and then run away.
Wen Kai refuted his mother seriously: "If I play dumb about this, wouldn't I become the same person as my aunt? I said I wanted to repeat a grade, and my second uncle wanted to use his connections to get me into a good school in the provincial capital. Although I didn't want to go, my second uncle was really trying his best to find a way. In matters like this, my second uncle has helped our family so much!"
Zhu Meiqun could not refute her son's words.
It is right to be grateful.
Zhu Meiqun was afraid that Wen Dongrong would soften her heart in the end. After all, she was her biological sister and niece. Then Wen Kai would be caught in the middle and be in a difficult position!
Wen Hongyan and Shu Lu stayed at Wen Kai's house and couldn't be driven away. Once they quarreled, the whole building would laugh at the Wen family. Zhu Meiqun was reluctant to let Wen Kai do something against his conscience, so she called Chen Ru behind their backs.
When Chen Ru heard that it was Wen Hongyan and Shu Lu, she said bluntly that she didn't have time to take care of it.
"Sister-in-law, I've been transferred to work in Rongcheng now, and I can't take care of things back home. You should call Wenying's father."
