The more Aunt Wen thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She put on a patched homespun coat over her new cotton-padded jacket, put on her hat and went out. She wanted to find out, otherwise she would feel uneasy.
On the other side, Wen Zhaoming and his sister had been sent back to their residence by Wen Jiahong, of course, away from people.
Wen Jiahong's complexion was obviously much better at this time, and he said with a smile:
"My mother and I didn't expect that Miss Su would be so formal that she actually invited an official matchmaker to come to our house to propose marriage, and the gifts she brought were also very real. I will send them to you tomorrow."
"Sister Jiahong, you don't have to send me the gifts. These were originally given when the marriage proposal was made. Since the village chief has accepted it as an elder, you can keep the gifts for yourself."
Wen Zhaoming said immediately.
"How can this be possible? This is your stuff."
Wen Jiahong immediately refused.
Wen Zhaoming was helpless, but he still compromised:
"Sister Jiahong, why don't we talk about it in a few days? If you send the things over now, it will attract too much attention."
"You're right. Let's do as you say. Don't tell anyone about this matter until it's finalized."
On the other side, Aunt Wen asked around and learned that the person proposing marriage was Miss Su from Sujiazhuang. Her heart skipped a beat. After thinking about it, she turned around and went straight to Wen Zhaoming's house. As a result, she just happened to see Wen Jiahong's back as she sent Ming'er and Yueyue into the yard and left.
Aunt Wen frowned tightly, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and then she went to knock on the door of Wen Zhaoming's house.
"Ming Ge'er, Yue Yue, are you there?"
Ming Ge'er, who was tidying up things in the room, frowned when he heard the familiar voice. Then he opened the door, went to the fence, and said calmly:
"Aunt, why are you here? What's the matter?"
"You kid, can't I come and see you if I'm fine?"
Aunt Wen scolded.
"Aunt, Yueyue is feeling a little unwell. I just took him to the village chief's house to ask for some medicine. The money for the medicine is on credit. If you care about us siblings, can you lend me a hundred copper coins?"
Wen Zhaoming said directly.
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Wen's face froze, and she said after twitching her lips:
"Ming Ge'er, you know, my aunt's family isn't rich either."
“Ever since Yueyue was nearly sold, she has been easily frightened after being rescued. We originally had some savings, but recently we have spent almost all of it on medical treatment.
All the prey I hunted before winter was given as a favor. Others helped me rescue Yueyue, so I can’t just not show any appreciation. Now I have ten copper coins in my hand, so please lend me a few copper coins, auntie.”
Wen Zhaoming said sincerely.
This made Aunt Wen feel a little embarrassed, because when she saved Yueyue, she, the aunt, avoided him. Now that he came to borrow money, what should she say? Not lending it? Wouldn't that show that she, the elder, was cold-blooded?
"Ming Ge, I don't have any money with me right now. Your uncle has always been in charge of the money in our house. I'll go back and ask him for it. Wait a minute."
After saying this, Aunt Wen turned around and left.
Wen Zhaoming looked at his aunt's somewhat panicked back with a sneer on his lips.
He absolutely didn't believe that Aunt Wen didn't know that Yueyue had been sold. After all, the two were together when Third Brother Wen was arrested. He just didn't know what the two were planning when they got together.
Wen Zhaoming snorted coldly and turned back to the house.
"Brother, is it Auntie? Why doesn't she come in?"
Wen Zhaoyue asked with his head held high.
"She just said a few words to me. It's nothing important. From now on, when Auntie comes to see you alone or asks you something, you just say you don't know. Remember?"
Wen Zhaoming warned worriedly that there was already a third brother Wen, and he didn't mind speculating the worst about Aunt Wen. This was his relative, and she was not as caring as an outsider.
Aunt Wen was turned down by her nephew and went back home cursing.
The next day, Shen Yan came again in high spirits, this time to match their horoscopes.
Village chief Wen gave the red paper with Wen Zhaoming's birth date to Shen the matchmaker. This time, the other party did not delay and drove directly back to Sujiazhuang. After all, he still had to offer sacrifices for three days.
Aunt Wen was a step too late and failed to catch the matchmaker. This time she gritted her teeth and went directly to the village chief's house.
The village chief was not surprised that Aunt Wen came to visit him, and just asked calmly:
"Madam, what can I do for you?"
"Village Chief, I just want to ask about Miss Su's proposed marriage partner."
Aunt Wen knew that the village chief was not easy to fool, so she just told him the truth.
"You mean Miss Su? She is seeking to marry Ming Ge'er."
The village chief didn't beat around the bush and said directly that since things had come to this point, there was no need to worry about any unexpected changes.
After hearing this, Aunt Wen's face was ferocious for a moment, and Wen Jiahong's face was even uglier than hers. She picked up the teacup on the table and threw it over, saying coldly:
"Auntie Wen, you dare to show disrespect to my mother, are you looking for death?"
Aunt Wen didn't expect that Wen Jiahong would dare to hit her directly with something. She took a step back, avoiding the teacup, and then said angrily:
"Wen Jiahong, what do you mean? How did I put on a show of disrespect? This involves my nephew's marriage, so what's wrong with me, as an elder, asking a question?"
"Elder? Bah! You are not worthy of being Ming Ge'er's elder. You are trying to whitewash everything. Do you think we don't know about the dirty things you have done?"
Wen Jiahong said disdainfully.
"Village chief, I really didn't know what my younger brother had done at the beginning. He came to me to discuss Ming Ge'er's marriage, and before we had even said a few words, you came."
Aunt Wen explained immediately.
"Tsk tsk, I can see that you are the smartest one in your family. Your second sister didn't want to be a stepping stone for you, so you sent her away. Your third brother is the knife in your hand, you can swing it wherever you point it."
"Village chief, I dare not admit this, otherwise how can I walk around in the village in the future."
Aunt Wen said immediately.
"Madam, I asked Jiahong to find Wen Xiaoxiao yesterday. Guess what she said?"
The village chief said calmly.
As soon as the words fell, Aunt Wen, who was good at cultivating her Qi, changed her expression. Obviously, she had not expected that the village chief would actually send someone to find Wen Xiaoxiao. What would happen to her deal with the other party?
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Go back! If you dare to ruin Ming Ge'er's marriage, I have plenty of ways to make you unable to gain a foothold in the village."
Apparently the village chief's threats were more effective. This time Aunt Wen neither quibbled nor said anything else. She just turned around and left the house.
"Mother, this kind of person is a poisonous snake. If she continues to stay in the village, there is no guarantee that she will not cause trouble one day."
Wen Jiahong said with a frown.
"Find a chance to tell Miss Su about this, she will definitely have a solution.
After all, we have the same ancestors. If I act too harshly, the villagers will say that I, the village chief, am too cold-blooded. After all, she is now disguising herself very well. There is no need to dirty my hands for such a person."
The village chief was an experienced man after all, and his words determined Aunt Wen's fate.
My dears, there is still one chapter left before ten o'clock. I will upload it after it is coded.
