Chapter 26: Point Out
"Brother, I think..."
Huang Xinran smiled mysteriously, waved at him, and waited for him to come closer before whispering in his ear.
Wenying was anxious when she saw the brother and sister whispering to each other, but she couldn't get close to listen, so she could only watch them.
Huang Hongyi's brows were furrowed, and he didn't know what Huang Xinran said. He raised his eyebrows and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Really?!"
"Can I still coax you into doing this?"
Huang Xinran rolled his eyes at his elder brother, then took out three big reunion notes from his pocket and stuffed them into his hands: "Other people can be deceived, but this money can also deceive you? So, brother, do you have any connections? Tell me, do you have any connections?"
"Yes, there must be. Just wait!"
Huang Hongyi borrowed the money excitedly and went into the house.
He quickly changed his clothes and came out, winking at her: "Wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon."
"Hey, Hongyi..."
Wenying wanted to say something, but she failed to grab the corner of Huang Hongyi's clothes. He ran out of the door quickly and disappeared soon. Wenying was very upset and looked back at Huang Xinran: "What did you say to your brother?"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I have something to talk to my brother about. Come, sit down..."
Huang Xinran pulled her sister-in-law to sit down. Seeing that Wenying was still unhappy, she couldn't help but smile: "Sister-in-law, if I really wanted to plot against my brother, I wouldn't do it in front of you, right? Don't worry, it's a good thing." But she never mentioned what it was.
Seeing her like this, Wenying knew she couldn't ask anything, so she could only speak: "It's good that you know it in your heart. Little sister, you should also know how good your brother is to you. I won't say anything else. I'm going to cook."
"Sister-in-law, let me help you."
Huang Xinran knew that Wenying didn't like her, but she still chased after her with a smile. Seeing that Wenying was pregnant, she quickly arranged for her to sit down and light the fire, and then she helped Wenying wash the rice and cook, and finally selected vegetables to prepare stir-fry.
Wenying was very surprised. When did her sister-in-law learn to cook?
Doesn't she know how to do anything?
In fact, Huang Xinran learned cooking skills during the difficult days when she was taken in by Jiang Yurou after she divorced Lu Yunchen. It's funny to say that she tried hard to learn cooking skills when she was a daughter in her mother's house, but she finally learned it when she was so hungry that her eyes were blurry.
The two chatted while cooking. "Sister-in-law, I heard from you that your brother wants to join the army recently?"
"No... I don't know. How do you know this?"
Wenying had just had a quarrel with Huang Hongyi because of Huang Xinran borrowing money, and she went back to her parents' home for a few days. She has only been back for two days, and she didn't hear her brother mention this. How did her sister-in-law know about it?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but show a bit of disbelief on her face.
Huang Xinran of course knew!
In her previous life, she was arguing about divorce with Lu Yunchen. On their way home, they ran into Wenbin who was blocking their way. The reason why Wenbin came to them was actually to ask Lu Yunchen if he had any connections and to help him find the way.
It was just unfortunate that she and Lu Yunchen had just divorced, and Lu Yunchen was in a bad mood, so he just gave a casual explanation and sent her away.
At that time, she watched Wenbin walk away, looking back every few steps. She wanted to stop him, but she had no reason to call him. She could only watch him leave. Unfortunately, when she finally calmed down, she learned that Wenbin had accidentally fallen off a cliff on his way home, breaking his leg and disfiguring his face. His dream of joining the army was no longer possible for him.
After learning that her brother had broken his leg, Wenying kept busy with her big belly. She eventually exhausted her nephew so much that he was born prematurely and almost died...
At this moment, she suddenly remembered this matter and couldn't help but say it out loud.
Seeing her sister-in-law's inquiring expression, she could only explain helplessly: "These days, you either study and go to college, or join the army. After all, it is a way out. I heard you say before that his grades were not very good, so I thought he was old enough to join the army. In addition, when I came here, I happened to meet a few teenagers from your production team, and they happened to talk about your brother wanting to join the army. That's what I heard. Could it be that this is still a mystery?"
So that's how it is!
"Isn't it? My mother is used to him and has said that she will never let Wenbin join the army. I think you heard it wrong."
In addition to this younger brother, Wenying actually has two older brothers. Unfortunately, the two brothers are much older than her and her younger brother, and they don’t have much to say to each other. In addition, they have already separated and moved out to build houses on other sites, so they are not really close to Wenying.
Only Wenbin, although out of tune, is very close to Wenying.
Thinking of her naughty little brother, Wenying couldn't help but smile.
"Really?"
Huang Xinran raised her eyelids slightly: "Boys have grown up and have their own ideas. It's impossible for them to be like when they were little and what we say is what they mean. Sister-in-law, you should pay more attention to him when you get back. Boys, after all, need to be coaxed when they need to be coaxed."
"Yes, I understand."
Wenying was quite impatient.
Is the sister-in-law so full that she is meddling in other people's affairs? However, for Huang Hongyi's sake, she didn't say anything, but just kept an eye on it.
This is exactly the result Huang Xinran wanted.
Regardless of whether the Wen family would let Wenbin join the army in the end, at least she had seen this. She was willing to say a few more words. If it could help him avoid the suffering of his previous life, it would be her way of repaying Wenying for her kindness in her previous life.
Huang Hongyi was out for a long time this time.
Huang Hongyi finally returned when Wen Ying became a little impatient.
As soon as he got home, he smiled at Huang Xinran and made a gesture.
Huang Xinran also relaxed his frown.
"how?"
"With your brother here, isn't that a sure thing?!"
Wen Bin patted his chest and promised, "I'll do as you said, and exchange it for what you want. It's still early now, and the things will be delivered when it gets dark. Don't worry!"
"Then the price..."
"It's five cents lower than the price you mentioned."
Huang was delighted.
This made Wenying frown frequently, because she couldn't stand the sight of her husband getting used to her sister-in-law.
"What on earth are you talking about? Explain it to me now!"
"Don't worry, you will know tonight."
Wenbin made up his mind not to tell anyone and did not change his mind no matter how Wenying acted. He went to the pigpen to take a bath.
Huang Xinran did not explain. He quickly put the washed vegetables into the wok and stir-fried them. Soon four dishes and a soup were ready.
When Huang's father and mother came home from work, they were very surprised to see Huang Xinran coming.
Huang Xinran's eyes turned red instead.
She always thought that she was a strong woman. Even when she was schemed against and had nothing, she still felt that some things were just the way they should be. But now, seeing her parents whom she had not seen for many years, Huang Xinran was so choked up that she couldn't even cry.
