Wen Dashan didn't say much to Wen Yugui. In his mind, daughters didn't matter. Marrying well didn't necessarily bring any benefits. Just like his older sister, she married here and didn't go back home even once a year. Her husband was a section chief at the winery, but he didn't help her at all.
But he never considered that his eldest son, Wen Yuzhu, had grown up in his aunt's house. Wasn't that helping him out? It's just that Wen Dashan didn't see any real benefits, and he still felt resentful!
He had originally planned to stay at his sister's house for the New Year, but then his family's money was borrowed. He glanced back at Qiao Jiao, who was still dawdling, and reached out to pull her forward.
Qiao Jiao stumbled from the pull and immediately said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Wen Dashan said, "Go home and ask for money!"
Qiao Jiao fell silent after those words. After all, it was true that she had lent money to her younger brother to build a house. She just didn't know why Wen Yugui knew about it.
Wen Dashan and his wife left, leaving fourteen or fifteen-year-old Wen Yuqiao at his aunt's house. The chubby boy was also a troublemaker, sitting at his aunt's house demanding food and drink, and immediately ordering Wen Yugui around without any politeness.
Wen Yugui ignored him, which angered the chubby boy, who reached out to hit Wen Yugui. However, Qian Rao blocked him and pinned him to the sofa in Wen's aunt's house. Qian Rao pinned the boy's hand behind his back with one hand and pressed the other hand on the chubby boy's neck. Looking at it this way, it actually looked quite convincing.
Wen Yuqiao had never been treated like this before. He cried out in pain, "Wen Yugui, how dare you let this wild man hit me? I'll have my mother sell you to some poor mountain village and use the money to pay for my wedding."
This remark enraged Qian Rao, who pressed him down even harder. Wen Yuqiao yelled, "Auntie, you're just watching these two outsiders bully me! Am I still your nephew?"
Aunt Wen completely ignored him and gestured for Qian Mao to sit down on another sofa.
Qian Mao said, "To know about trafficking women at such a young age shows that the adults in his family have said such things a lot."
Aunt Wen's heart skipped a beat. Although she also looked down on Wen Dashan and his second wife, they were still her younger brother, and blood was thicker than water.
She looked at Qian Mao and asked, "Comrade Qian, isn't this unnecessary?"
Qian Mao said calmly, "This wasn't my idea. If this kid hadn't told me, how would I have known they wanted to take my sister-in-law back and resell her? Didn't you hear Wen Dashan asking my brother for a bride price just now?"
Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen immediately fell silent.
Although Wen Yuqiao was being suppressed by Qian Rao, he didn't stop talking. He said, "My mother said that Wen Yugui is supposed to be my family's slave. She actually dared to run away. If we catch her, we'll break her legs."
Qian Mao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, glanced at Aunt Wen, and pursed his lips. His posture made Aunt Wen wish she could go up and shut Wen Yuqiao up.
Aunt Wen looked at Wen Yugui with a displeased expression. She had approved of Wen Yugui's marriage to Qian Rao.
After all, at that time, his father had just returned from military service and his position at the winery was not yet stable. Having a relative like Qian Mao, who could speak to the county party secretary, was indeed a source of prestige.
Although his family hadn't used Qian Mao for anything, they owed him a debt of gratitude for the title he'd been given. Besides, Qian Mao later became the mayor's secretary, which was the biggest boost to the old man's success in becoming a section chief.
Therefore, Aunt Wen did not want to offend Qian Mao, especially since the Qian family was now thriving, and she felt that having such a relative by marriage was very good.
Actually, she didn't expect the Wen family of three to come today. And at this very moment, Wen Yugui and her two companions also came to visit. Everything seemed to happen so naturally.
Moreover, it was precisely because of a few words from Wen Yuqiao that Qian Mao accused Wen Dashan and Qiao Jiao of trafficking women. He now regrets it somewhat; if he had just taken the two sisters away, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Wen Yugui ignored Wen Yuqiao and handed what she was holding to her aunt, saying, "Aunt, this is something my sister-in-law sent back from Hainan Island. She brought a copy for you and brought it over today."
Aunt Wen opened the bag and saw that the dried fish and dried shrimp inside were things that were hard to find in Northeast China. She immediately smiled and said, "Duoduo is such a sensible girl. She thinks about her family. I didn't expect her to bring me some."
Wen Yugui said, "She didn't send back much, but in the letter she said she wanted you to try something new, and also to thank you for taking care of her all these years."
When Aunt Wen heard Wen Yugui's words, she immediately understood. Since Wen Dashan's family had come looking for her and knew that Yugui was here, her life might not be so easy anymore.
Aunt Wen said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of your father and the others."
Wen Yugui glanced at Wen Yuqiao, who was still shouting, and said, "They say a virtuous wife brings prosperity to three generations. My father's taste isn't very good either." After saying that, she said to her aunt, "Aunt, we're leaving now."
Hearing his wife's words, Qian Rao pressed down hard on Wen Yuqiao, making the chubby boy howl in pain. He let go, stood up, and brushed his sleeves as if he had touched something particularly dirty.
This action made Wen Yuqiao feel somewhat insulted. He stood up and realized that he only reached the front of his chest. He looked at Wen Yugui beside him and said, "If you're so capable, then don't ever come home again."
Qian Rao scoffed and said, "Of course we're capable. We already have our own homes, why would we want to go back to your shabby place?"
One sentence seemed to hit Wen Yuqiao's sore spot, and he put his hands on his hips and pointed at Wen Yugui, cursing her.
When Qian Rao heard him cursing his wife, how could he let him off the hook? He grabbed the man's collar without any politeness and punched him in the fat belly.
Wen Yuqiao immediately curled up into a shrimp-like position in pain. He truly hadn't expected Qian Rao to actually lay a hand on him. He didn't dare provoke Qian Rao, so he looked at Wen Yugui and said, "I'm your brother, are you just going to watch him beat me like this?"
Wen Yugui said calmly, "When you were cursing me just now, you didn't think I was the older sister. Besides, I only have one younger brother named Qian Yuzhu. Who are you?"
Qian Rao squatted down and faced Wen Yuqiao. He grabbed Wen Yuqiao's hair, forcibly lifting his head, and said to him face to face, "Kid, tell your scumbag father and broken mother not to bother our lives anymore."
Otherwise, if they say something unpleasant to Yu Gui, I'll get my revenge on you." After saying that, he patted Wen Yuqiao's face, and the fierce look in his eyes made Wen Yuqiao tremble again, not daring to say another word.
Aunt Wen was also very surprised to see this situation. She did not expect the two Qian brothers to be so protective of Wen Yugui, nor did she expect that Wen Dashan and Qiao Jiao would raise their child like this.
It really proved what Wen Yugui meant when she said, "Marrying a virtuous wife brings prosperity to three generations." Looking at Wen Yuqiao like this, and then thinking about Wen Yuzhu who had already gone to university, Aunt Wen could only sigh deeply.
