Zhou Hongyun's expression changed immediately when he heard this: "Even if they are my uncle and aunt, we can't do that. We promised Sister Wen that we would help look after Liangliang for a few days. We definitely can't just hand him over to other people."
Chen Liling's face was full of disbelief, and she gradually became uneasy. It was bad enough that she was being controlled by her mother-in-law, but now she was being controlled by a stranger?
The expression on his face was about to burst: "Aunt, look at what you are saying. This is our Wen family's child. It is reasonable for us to take him back. Besides, my eldest brother is gone, so this child must be raised by us. This is the same no matter where we go, don't you think?"
Zhou Hongyun ignored this: "That's true, but the child was handed over to us by Sister Wen, and not just anyone can take him away. It's reasonable for my uncle and aunt to come today, and it's reasonable for my aunt and uncle to come tomorrow. Besides, this is not just about raising a child, it also involves Liangliang's father's pension."
When it comes to pensions, Chen Liling and Wen Changjiang's faces changed. They looked at each other and were unwilling to admit it. Finally, they left in embarrassment.
Zhou Hongyun snorted coldly, closed the door, and said to Sheng Anning: "I've seen a lot of people like this. When I was in the compound before, not the one in Beijing, but the smaller family compound, this kind of thing often happened. If something happened to someone's family, a group of flies would gather around and want to share the little bit of compensation. No one cared about how the remaining orphans and widows lived."
Sheng An Ning looked at Wen Zheng, touched his head and said nothing.
…
After Chen Liling and Wen Changjiang left Sheng Anning's house, they became angrier and angrier. Chen Liling, in particular, continued to complain: "What does this family do? Why did they stop us from taking the child away? If this wasn't the company's family compound, we would have snatched the child away even if we had to."
Wen Changjiang was startled and said quickly: "You can't do anything reckless. This is not an ordinary family compound. If we try to steal the child, they will really arrest us. Also, don't say these things carelessly."
Chen Liling's face darkened. "What do you say we should do? Should we just let it go? Our family is waiting for us to go back and collect food. We can't just wait here forever. If your mother really gives Liangliang to his aunt, then we won't get a penny of your brother's money."
Wen Changjiang seemed to still have a little conscience: "If I can't get it, then I can't get it. My brother paid for it with his life, and I will give it to Liangliang in the future. Besides, my brother has helped our family a lot over the years. If it weren't for my brother, we wouldn't even be able to build a house."
Chen Liling snorted coldly, "That's what he deserves. Have you ever taken care of family affairs in all the years he was out there? Let's not talk about anything else. Just look at the collective years. We lived a life like that at home, but he had good meals every day out there. And if he wasn't a few years older than you, he wouldn't have gotten the chance to join the army. You would have gone instead."
"If you go, you will definitely do better than your brother. Also, your father has been paralyzed in the hospital for so many years, and we are the ones who took care of him and took care of him until his death. As the eldest son, he only contributed some food coupons and money. This is what he should do, right?"
Wen Changjiang did not refute, but he knew in his heart that even if he was old enough, he would not be selected to join the army because he was far inferior to his older brother in terms of intelligence or physical strength.
Also, although their father had been paralyzed in bed for many years, the couple had hardly taken care of him. During the collective era, Chen Liling made a fuss about separating the family, disliking that Mother and Father Wen did not work but still wanted to eat.
Feeding two more mouths was a waste of food. It was only later, when Wen Changshan sent food coupons and money home, that Chen Liling encouraged her husband to move back home. Although they lived together, she never took care of her for a single day.
It was Wen's mother who served tea and water, and took care of the baby herself.
Until Wen's father passed away, Wen Changshan was far away in the army and didn't know about this. He thought that it was his younger brother and sister-in-law who contributed. He sent all the allowances and bonuses back before they got married, and even sent part of it back after they got married.
Seeing that Wen Changjiang didn't say anything, Chen Liling was afraid that he would think of his brother's good points and Wen's mother's difficulty in being soft-hearted. She knew what kind of man this was. He was lazy and greedy, but he occasionally had a little conscience.
He quickly said, "Your eldest brother was very good to us in the past. It is only right for us to take care of Liangliang and get the pension. And you have to think about it. You have two sons. Our family is so poor. When the children grow up, what will you give them to marry? If we have this pension, we can do some small business, right?"
Wen Changjiang felt that what his wife said made sense, but now his mother was on guard against them, and the family who had just gone there seemed to be keeping a close eye on the child, so they couldn't take the child away at all.
Chen Liling rolled her eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly laughed: "I was wondering why that family was so enthusiastic, I guess it was for the money. I heard that they have three children, two sons and a daughter. Look at the decoration of the house and the fruits on the table, there are even bananas. What kind of family is this? Can they eat so well? And they have to raise three children."
Wen Changjiang didn't notice it, but he felt that Sheng Anning's house was very warm and clean, so he was embarrassed to put his feet there. The air in the room was fragrant, like the scent of flowers.
There is also the young wife who just returned. She is also very beautiful and has fair skin. She is just like what the villagers described when they used dirty words to describe her, like a peeled egg.
She was so beautiful, so beautiful that he was embarrassed to look directly at her.
Seeing the man blushing, Chen Liling knew what he was thinking. She snorted coldly, "Don't be a toad wanting to eat swan meat. I tell you, she doesn't like you."
Wen Changjiang was a little angry and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You should think about how to bring Liangliang home instead of thinking about these useless things."
Chen Liling really thought about it seriously: "Isn't Liangliang in the first grade? Then I can go pick him up, right? If I go to school to pick him up, the teacher won't say anything, right? I don't believe that family can keep watching. You just wait at the door, and I'll go to the bus station as soon as I pick up the child."
She had a beautiful idea. As long as she took Wen Zheng to the bus station and got on the bus back to the countryside, no one could stop them. Moreover, even Wen's mother would have to follow him back to the countryside and then take out the pension.
As long as the pension is received, whoever wants to raise the child can do so.
Wen Changjiang thought about it and thought this was a good idea: "Just tell the teacher that grandma is sick. If Liangliang, the ungrateful bastard, knew that grandma was sick, he would definitely go with you."
Chen Liling's eyes lit up: "You still have a way. If that's the case, Liangliang will definitely go with us!"
