My aunt is so easy to fool!
Uncle Deng Shangwei only needed a few words to make my aunt forget to ask him what he had done in Chengdu.
Deng Shangwei left in a hurry, and Chen Li stayed to take care of Wen Ying.
Wen Ying stayed in the hospital for five days, and Chen Li took care of her in the hospital for five days. Thanks to Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong, all the relatives knew that Wen Ying fell ill in the examination room. Relatives from both the Chen and Wen families came to the hospital to see her, and basically they all comforted her.
After all, Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong are a couple, one works in a bank and the other is employed by the government. Relatives from both sides always come to Wen Ying's house for help, so they are still very concerned about the affairs of Wen Ying's family.
Perhaps it was because Wen Ying carried memories from her previous life that she always had prejudices against the relatives on the Wen family.
Although Wen Dongrong was born in the countryside and is a real Phoenix man, he is also really capable. Not only did he gain a foothold in the city, he also brought his brothers and sisters out of the countryside and helped them to start a family and build a career. The Wen brothers are now all in the city, and the land in the countryside has long been uncultivated.
Wen Ying remembered that when she was a child, she went back to the countryside with her father. In the past few years, even the most stubborn grandmother moved to the city. Grandma Wen did not live with Wen Ying's family. Although Wen Dongrong was Grandma Wen's most promising son, Wen Dongrong and Chen Ru failed to let Grandma Wen hold her grandson. Grandma Wen lived with Wen Ying's uncle's family. Her uncle's family gave birth to a son, and this cousin was Grandma Wen's favorite.
Grandma Wen is not the kind of rural old lady who behaves particularly well. She has been trying her best to treat everyone equally, but some ignorant ideas are engraved in her bones. It is impossible to expect a rural old lady in her sixties to change!
Just like now, when other people come to see Wen Ying, they all comfort her, saying that it is not her fault that she got sick during the exam, and ask her to take good care of herself.
No matter whether everyone really thought so in their hearts, the words they said sounded nice, and Wen Ying accepted them all.
Grandma Wen was different. She held Wen Ying's hand and told her not to work too hard. It was good enough for a girl to just go to high school. If she could go to college, she could go. If she couldn't, it didn't matter.
Whenever Grandma Wen said something, Wen Ying would respond.
Chen Li couldn't stand it any longer. "Auntie, you can't teach this to a child. What if she takes it seriously? What era is it now? Is it okay for a girl not to go to college?"
Grandma Wen didn't care: "Even if Wen Ying doesn't go to college, her father can still find her a job. Why does she have to work so hard?"
Chen Li was convinced.
It happened that Chen Ru went to handle the discharge procedures for Wen Ying, and heard this when she came back.
Chen Ru wanted to explode on the spot.
"Mom, please don't talk nonsense. Dongrong is just an ordinary person. How can he arrange a job for a high school student? Wenying should study hard and get into a good university!"
There were many outsiders in the ward, and the old lady spoke without considering the occasion at all.
Wen Ying was not angry at all, she just suddenly wanted to laugh.
Returning to 2004, Wen Ying discovered many things that she had overlooked in her previous life, such as her mother Chen Ru, a woman with a strong desire for control, who was very capable both at work and at home. She had a lot of reasons to scold Wen Ying, but she had no way to deal with Grandma Wen!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been living together for so many years, but Grandma Wen has not changed at all and has always done her own thing.
The old lady is the nemesis of Wen Ying’s mother!
When Wen Ying thought of this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Then she was glared at fiercely by Chen Ru.
In her previous life, this one glance would have been enough to make Wen Ying's legs and hands go weak, but now Wen Ying felt nothing.
Just glare at me.
Adults can control minors, but they cannot intimidate another adult.
To prevent Grandma Wen from continuing to talk nonsense in the ward, Chen Ru quickly took Grandma Wen away. Chen Li and Wen Ying lagged behind. Chen Li muttered, "You seem to have become a little braver after your illness?"
Wen Ying just smiled.
A little bigger?
No, she is full of courage now!
On the way home, Chen Li drove. Grandma Wen kept praising the car for its beauty, and Chen Li responded vaguely.
Then Grandma Wen asked why Wen Ying’s family didn’t buy one.
"I have a car. It would be convenient if you could take me back to my hometown, Batou."
Although the Wen family no longer lives in the countryside, there are still some relatives and old neighbors around. Wen Dongrong refuses to use the public bus for personal purposes, and Grandma Wen does not have the opportunity to ride the car back to the countryside to show off. The old lady is obsessed with it.
Chen Ru and her mother-in-law are completely at odds.
Buying a car now would have a bad impact on Wen Dongrong, as his mother-in-law might show off that her son is going to be promoted.
Chen Ru complained about the family's financial difficulties. "Mom, things are different now. We used to only learn in school, but now we have to enroll in various extracurricular classes after completing our studies. For example, this summer, Dongrong and I are planning to send Wenying to Chengdu for English lessons. She can stay and eat at her aunt's house, but does that mean her aunt has to pay for her tuition too? She's sick for the high school entrance exam, and if she wants to go to a key high school in Chengdu, we need to prepare at least that much. How can we afford to buy a car?"
Chen Ru stretched out her hand and gestured a number, and her grandmother gasped.
"Why are you asking for too much? I just said that girls just need to study a little. Your Wenying is not the type to study. Don't make it too hard for her. Which kid doesn't want to play during the holidays? Why do you send him to the provincial capital for extra classes?"
Hearing her grandma bring up the old topic again, Chen Ru almost started arguing with her in the car.
"Just think about it? We have put so much effort into her, how can we just think about it? Mom, why don't you let Wen Kai from my eldest brother's family think about it? My eldest brother and his wife are also sending Wen Kai to cram school.
Wen Kai will take the college entrance exam next month, and he can't slack off even for a single day!
