Anyway, Qian Sheng was very happy. His third son was willing to find a wife and wouldn't be alone in his old age, which was good.
He has five children, all of whom are doing well. Everyone in the village envies him. Although only his fourth child seems to be less successful than the other children in the countryside, he, as the village chief, can help him out.
He also talked to Qian Rao and Lao Si's wife, but Qian Rao's point was that they should take on the responsibility of supporting their elderly parents as sons.
His eldest brother, second brother, and third brother are all unable to return. He wants to stay with his parents, and Wen Yugui thinks so too.
Although Wen Dashan had visited Beian Village to see her some time ago, he didn't dare cause trouble after learning that Qian Sheng was the village chief. He only hoped that Wen Yugui and Wen Yuzhu would give him money for his old age.
He also asked her to tell Wen Yuzhu that he was, after all, Wen Dashan's son and should be responsible for taking care of him in his old age.
Wen Yugui looked at him with surprise after hearing his words, not expecting him to be so shameless.
He told Wen Dashan directly that when Wen Dagu left with Wen Yuzhu, they had already signed a letter severing ties. He himself was already married, and a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; besides, he also had a son from Wen Yuqiao.
After Wen Dashan turned fifty, she would give him the same amount of money as Wen Yuqiao, without a penny more.
Wen Dashan was furious and wanted to hit Wen Yugui, but Qian Rao and Qian Yin stopped him.
Qian Sheng stepped forward and said to Wen Dashan, "Now she is my Qian family's daughter-in-law, not that helpless little girl in the Wen family. If you want to hit someone, you have to see if our Qian family agrees!" After saying this, Qian Rao and Qian Yin took a step forward. The oppressive feeling made Wen Dashan take a step back.
Qian Sheng said, "Yu Gui is the only child of our Qian family who is still with us. If you were to beat the child in front of me, where would that leave our Qian family's reputation? I, Qian Sheng, have never set such a precedent in Beian Village."
"Our Qian family may not have much else, but we have unity. Both of my sons are in the army, so we have many comrades-in-arms. Today you've embarrassed the Qian family, but tomorrow I'll see if you still have any face left." This blatant threat made Wen Dashan take another step back.
Seeing Wen Yugui standing behind him, not daring to come forward at all, Wang Dashan cursed inwardly. Knowing that there was no way to gain anything here, he could only leave.
He went to the county to find Aunt Wen, who said, "You signed the letter of severance of kinship with your own consent. Now that I have exposed him, you want to reap the benefits? How is that possible?" She was also completely helpless with her younger brother. He was already over forty years old and almost fifty. He was inconsiderate and could not do things properly. He was not good at working or farming.
Wen's uncle even kicked Wen Dashan twice, sending him slinking back to Wuchang County. After that, Wen Dashan never returned to Beian Village.
A few days later, the postman appeared at Qian Sheng's door again, calling out, "Is Uncle Qian home? There's mail for you."
This made Qian Sheng extremely happy, and he sent his son to the postman to pick up the letter. Not long after, Qian Rao returned and exclaimed, "Dad, it really is a letter from Third Brother!"
Qian Sheng said, "Quickly open it and see what your third brother said."
Qian Rao said with a smile, "There's another letter here, from Guangzhou. I don't know if it's from my sister-in-law or Duo Duo."
Qian Sheng said, "Let's put your third brother's letter aside for now and see what comes from Guangzhou."
Wen Yugui held her daughter beside her, smiling. It seemed that Duoduo was destined to be the darling of the family. She looked down at her daughter in her arms. The new clothes on her daughter's body were all bought by her aunt. She liked her sister-in-law just like that.
Thinking that her younger brother also frequently contacted Qian Duoduo and was now preparing for graduation, and that he had even entered the finance department of the Harbin Municipal Government because of his excellent academic performance, although he was just a junior staff member, it did not prevent her from being highly regarded in the Qian family.
The letter was indeed sent by Qian Duoduo. The main content was that she wanted Qian Rao to take Qian Yin and her two cousins from the Jin family to Harbin to find Qian Xiang and go to Guangzhou with Qian Gui. She needed their help with something.
After reading Qian Duoduo's letter, Qian Sheng waved his hand and said, "Duoduo's matter must be quite serious, otherwise she wouldn't have sent all her brothers to support her. The eldest and second eldest are both soldiers, so there's no other way. I'll send a telegram to the third eldest and ask him to go too. At least the third eldest is smart and can offer some advice."
Upon hearing this, Qian Rao immediately nodded. If his sister had really been bullied, he certainly couldn't stand for it. He said, "After I finish reading Third Brother's letter, I'll go to Yuanbao Village to find Uncle and those two brothers. Duoduo is our only daughter, and we absolutely cannot let anyone bully her."
Seeing Qian Rao looking like he was about to fight, Wen Yugui patted his arm and said, "You haven't even figured out what's going on, yet you're already acting like you're about to start a fight. Don't cause us any more trouble."
Upon hearing this, Qian Rao thought it made sense and immediately nodded obediently, saying, "Okay, I understand. When I go to my uncle's house, I won't mention the fight. I'll just say that Duoduo needs help."
Jin Jinxiu nodded and said, "Alright, now that Duoduo has finished reading, hurry up and look at Lao San's."
Qian Rao opened the envelope and turned the letter inside down. The first thing to fall out was a photograph, white background facing up, which made the whole family extremely curious.
Jin Jinxiu reached out and picked up the photo. It showed the third brother standing with a very well-behaved and beautiful girl. The smiles on their faces were impossible to hide.
Jin Jinxiu said, "Okay, this is good. This must be the third brother's girlfriend. Look at the two of them standing together, smiling. They are such a perfect match! I don't need anyone else to tell me. These two are a perfect couple."
The photo passed from hand to hand among the family members. Wen Yugui looked at Zhang Muyao in her beautiful dress, leather shoes, and fashionable hairstyle, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't envious.
She also wanted to wear such a pretty dress, but she knew that if she wore such a dress in this rural area, people would definitely point fingers and whisper behind her back, so she suppressed her desire to look beautiful.
Qian Rao saw the envious look in Wen Yugui's eyes, and he secretly vowed to himself that he must earn more money so that his wife and daughter could wear beautiful dresses.
Perhaps this trip to Guangzhou is a good opportunity. He had accompanied Jin Jinxiu to Guangzhou before. Although Guangzhou was prosperous at that time, the general environment made everyone afraid to do anything out of line. So they basically stayed quietly in the military compound, taking care of Lingyun during her postpartum period. After Lingyun finished her postpartum period, he and Jin Jinxiu returned not long after.
He had talked to Qian Gui before. Qian Gui said that most of the money he made in Harbin came from Qian Duoduo, so he also wanted to make some money there.
