Chapter 41: No Business

"Eh? Did you hear that?" Several men and women who were sitting together with nothing to do were playing mahjong, and one of them suddenly spoke.

"Ertong, what did you hear? Tell me now."

"It's that unified thought..."

"The same idea as before?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Has someone else met with misfortune?" His tone was filled with excitement, and he didn't even bother to play mahjong.

"It's not that I'm unlucky, but about this..." The person who said this also had a complicated tone: "After Qi Nian went to the Wen family, less than half an hour later, Grandma Wen Yu passed away."

"Shock! Did he say someone was dead?"

"Oh, no, no, I just found out that Wen Yu's grandmother is not my biological mother."

This person talked a lot, and finally said: "The results of the paternity test are out, but the old lady still refuses to acknowledge it. She said that the doctors were in collusion and wanted to harm her."

"Oh my god, how can there be such people?"

"If it were me, I would be so angry that I would want to hack that old lady to death with a machete!"

"Who said it wasn't..."

If it weren't for the incident of Grandma Wen swapping the child, Wen's father would have been born into a happy family. The family whose child was swapped was surnamed Liu. The Liu couple were teachers. Grandma Liu was in poor health and only gave birth to one child in her life. The couple loved their son dearly.

Although they love their son, they will not love him without principles. They still understand the principle that to spoil a son is like killing him.

But for some reason, the character of their "son" Liu Junxian was completely inconsistent with his name. He was fine when he was young, but for some reason, what happened later on, no matter how the Liu couple tried to educate him, he would not listen, and his problems became more and more.

The couple were considered intellectuals, but in the end their child didn't even go to high school.

The Lius were so angry about their son that they felt pain in their chests all day long, but what could they do? After all, they only had this one son, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't just ignore him.

Fortunately, after Liu Junxian got married, he no longer worked so illegally. Although he doesn't earn much every month and still needs support from his parents, it makes people worry less.

The old couple of the Liu family also accepted it, thinking that they owed their son a debt from their previous life and that they were atoning for it in this life.

However, after only a few years of peaceful life, Liu Junxian recently started to feel like making trouble again.

"What? You want to do business?" Father Liu felt a headache when he heard his son's words.

Father Liu frowned: "Why do you want to start a business? Isn't it good for you to do this job now? If you can hold on for a few more years, you can get a pension."

Liu Junxian is now a junior employee in a company. His salary is not high, but he has five insurances and one fund. Moreover, the company is relatively large and quite stable.

For this job, it was Liu's mother who risked her reputation and found a connection with a former student of hers. This student had received favors from Liu's mother when he was in school, so she got this job for Liu Junxian.

Later, Liu Junxian thought that this job was easy and he didn't have to do anything, so he went to work honestly. The Liu couple felt that their quarrel was not in vain.

As a result, now that he is about to retire, Liu Junxian is trying to start a business again. When Liu's father heard this, he was furious.

"Mom and Dad, listen to me, my business has great prospects and I will definitely make a lot of money." Liu Junxian said excitedly: "Besides, I won't quit my job to run a business, I can do this while working."

Liu Junxian has learned a lot over the years, but he has mastered the art of glibness: "I also feel that I am useless. Seeing that you are getting old, you have never enjoyed my blessings for even a little while. So I thought that while I am still young, I should try my luck again. If I make money, I can let you two enjoy your blessings."

The old couple of the Liu family looked much better after hearing this. Although they knew that their son might not think this way, he was old and easily influenced by others, so he liked to hear these words.

Liu's mother was gentle in character. She patted her old man's hand and said, "That's enough. Go ahead and do whatever you want. We are old anyway and can't control you."

Liu Junxian smiled and said, "Mom, who said you have no right to interfere? Don't I have something to ask of you?"

The Liu family's old couple's hearts skipped a beat: "What are you going to do?"

"Isn't this my business?" Liu Junxian said shamelessly, "You guys don't know me after all these years? How can I have so much money? So..."

"We don't have any money either!" Father Liu's eyebrows were raised in anger: "Where has our money gone over the years? Don't you know? And you still have the nerve to ask us for money!"

What Liu's father said was the truth, they really didn't save any money. People say being a teacher is respectable, but it's just respectability, don't even think about making much money.

Originally they had some savings, but over the years, Liu Junxian had already spent them all.

Liu Junxian looked at his mother: "Mom..."

Mother Liu sighed: "Your father is telling the truth. We can't control your business, but we can't give you the money either."

She was still thinking in her heart, without money, Liu Junxian would give up, right?

Who knew that Liu Junxian said nothing that day, but a few days later, he brought a document saying that he wanted to mortgage the house for a mortgage loan.

Liu Junxian: "Without money, I can't do business. We don't have anything valuable at home. Only this old house is worth electricity. I might as well mortgage the house and get the money so I can do business."

Father Liu almost fainted at that time. He never thought that this unfilial son Liu Junxian would go to such an extent that he would actually start to covet their house!

This is the only house they have. If they lose it, they will have to live on the streets.

But Liu Junxian explained: "I am not selling the house, I am just mortgaging it. Don't you understand what I mean by mortgaging it? You can still live in this house. When I make money, I can just pay back the bank."

No matter how good-tempered Liu's mother was, she was furious when she heard this: "You keep talking about making money. Don't you know whether you have the ability to do this after all these years? You...you want to force us to death!"

"Mom, what you said hurts your son's heart a little bit." Liu Junxian looked sad: "Since you don't believe me, forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Unexpectedly, Liu Junxian did not continue to pester and left soon. The old couple of the Liu family were a little surprised, thinking that their son had grown up and finally understood some things. Who knew that there was a big one waiting for them.

That night, the old couple of the Liu family were sleeping in a daze, when they heard someone knocking on the door. The knock was very urgent, so father Liu quickly put on his clothes and went to open the door.

As soon as I opened the door, my daughter-in-law with disheveled hair was standing outside, holding her youngest son in her arms.

Liu Junxian was idle and had always been carefree. He got married relatively late, until he was almost 40 years old. Now his son is only in his early teens.

When Liu's father saw his daughter-in-law's look, he thought to himself that something was wrong. Sure enough, before he could say anything, Liu Junxian's wife burst into tears, saying that Liu Junxian couldn't make business and was now looking for death.

After crying for Liu Junxian, she started crying for herself. While crying, she took out a fruit knife from somewhere and put it against her son's neck: "If Junxian is gone, then Xiaobao and I will die too!"

Liu Xiaobao was sleeping in a daze. When his mother pulled him here, he looked impatient. But his mother suddenly put a knife to his neck. He woke up instantly and started crying: "Grandpa, I don't want to die, please save me!"

Liu Junxian's wife felt distressed when she saw her son crying so hard, but she did not let go of the knife in her hand.

There's nothing we can do. It's all Liu Junxian's fault. He can't even get a house. He still has to rely on his wife and kids!

"Xiaobao's mother, don't be impulsive, let's talk it over nicely!" Mother Liu had just heard the crying and ran out in a hurry, and when she saw this scene, she was almost frightened to death, and quickly said in a gentle voice.

"What are you talking about! If Junxian is gone, Xiaobao and I will die too!" Liu Junxian's wife cried heartbreakingly.

"Mom, you don't want to live, but I do!" Liu Xiaobao was so scared that his legs almost went limp: "Wuwu...Grandpa and grandma, please save me!"

Seeing that it was useless to persuade them, the Liu family seemed to have aged ten years in an instant: "Okay... okay, we agree, we'll give you the house, don't scare the children!"

In the end, the Liu couple compromised.

No matter what, the child is innocent.

When Liu Junxian heard that his parents agreed to mortgage the house, he happily came to their house the next day and wanted to take the old couple to the bank to handle the formalities.

Although the Liu family's house is shabby, it still has hundreds of thousands of dollars after being mortgaged. Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of dollars that he is about to get, Liu Junxian is overwhelmed.

I don't know what's going on there...

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. Liu Junhan frowned and wondered who would come at this time?

As soon as Mr. Liu opened the door, he saw Wen's father and Wen Yu standing at the door. He was stunned for a moment: "Why is Xiao Wen here? And he brought Xiao Yu with him."

The Liu Wen family and the Liu Wen family have been in contact for many years and have a good relationship.

However, looking at Wen's father's appearance, something seemed amiss.

Liu Junxian had a bad feeling after seeing Wen's father, and it got even worse when he saw that Wen's father looked as if he wanted to kill him.

Liu Junxian swallowed his saliva and didn't care about mortgaging the house anymore. He decided to slip away. However, before he could even leave the house, he was grabbed by Wen's father.

Although Wen's father is about the same age as Liu Junxian, he is more self-disciplined and still in good health. How can Liu Junxian, whose body has long been hollowed out, be a match for him?

After Liu Junxian was caught, he immediately struggled and yelled: "Mom and Dad, please come and save me! Wen, you even came to my house to beat me up..."

Liu Jun was swearing in his idleness, and the Liu family's old couple also frowned: "Xiao Wen, what are you doing?"

If it weren't for the fact that Father Wen was always sensible, the old couple of the Liu family would have gotten impatient and taken action long ago.

Father Wen still held Liu Junxian tightly and said through gritted teeth, "Don't you know what happened back then?"

Liu Junxian felt guilty for a moment, then immediately shouted: "What are you talking about? What is it? Are you sick? Let me go!"

"I already know." Father Wen looked at Liu Junxian steadily, "Back then, Mrs. Wen bribed the nurse to swap the children of the Wen and Liu families. She told you about it a long time ago, right? Did you already know each other in private?!"

Wen's father's eyes were red and bloodshot, which frightened Liu Jun so much that his legs went limp. He struggled and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let me go! Let me go!"

Liu Junxian struggled too hard, and when Wen's father wasn't paying attention, the opponent immediately ran away.

However, he ran away, but the Liu family heard his words clearly. Grandpa Liu's voice was trembling, and his face was full of astonishment: "Xiao Wen, you...what did you say, what about changing the child, I...why don't I understand?"

Hearing the sadness on his father's face, he knelt down and said to the Liu couple: "Dad, Mom, I am your son!"

——

"Fortunately we got there in time, otherwise the old couple's house would have been taken away by that bastard." Wen Yu said angrily.

"Don't talk about the dog like that. The dog is so cute, he doesn't deserve it." Qi Nian also looked angry.

"Yes, I apologize to the dog. I'm sorry, dog." Wen Yu said quickly.

"Is that Liu Junxian? In fact, he has known for a long time that Wen... is his biological mother?" Shu Tong's application for an exchange student has been approved, and it is publicly funded. She has been feeling a lot more relaxed recently, and it is a rare opportunity for her to sit together and chat with them.

"Yes!" Wen Yu put the milk tea in her hand on the table vigorously: "The worst one is that old woman, who let her son live a good life and wanted her son to call her mom, she wanted both.

I heard from my grandparents, oh, my own grandparents, that when Liu Junxian was young, he was actually fine, after all, the two elders were very strict with him. Who knew that he suddenly changed after a while and didn't listen to my grandparents at all. Now I know that it was because the old woman knew Liu Junxian at that time, and the old woman instigated the relationship between my grandparents and Liu Junxian in various ways. She didn't want to see my grandparents have a good relationship with her son. "

When Wen Yu talked about Old Madam Wen, she always called her "old lady". She used to think it was not nice to call an old person like that, but when she met an old person like Old Madam Wen, she felt that calling her "old lady" was a sign of her politeness.

Qi Nian and the others were all sighing when they heard this.

"Go on. Go on."

"Oh, and... I don't know how the old woman made Liu Junxian believe what she said. Anyway, although Liu Junxian appears to be obedient to the old woman, he actually has his own plans." Wen Yu became even angrier when he talked about this.

As soon as Qi Nian saw her expression, he knew she was going to explode again. He even stopped drinking his milk tea and started gossiping: "What are you going to do? Tell me now."

"Oh, he discussed with the old woman and her eldest son to get all the property in my father's hands." Wen Yu laughed when he talked about this: "He looks ugly, but he has beautiful ideas! Liu Junxian also wants to use the old woman. Anyway, he wants to get benefits through the old woman."

Lu Ze was typing away at the code quickly, and he didn't forget to gossip: "What are they thinking? Your dad is not stupid, it's not that easy."

"Who knows? Anyway, they have made a lot of money from my dad over the years." Wen Yu: "These people are all very cunning."

"Hahaha, but there are also happy things." Wen Yu laughed again: "My dad is not completely heartless. He used to be poor, so he would keep receipts for every expense. Now he is going to take back all the money he spent on the old lady and others."

"Oh, and the money my grandpa and grandma spent on Liu Junxian, we have to take it too!" Wen Yu said, "Originally my grandpa and grandma were soft-hearted and had some feelings for Liu Junxian, so they didn't want to do such a thing. But who made this person so evil? He actually planned to use my grandpa and grandma's house as a mortgage loan and then run away with the money."

"Oh my god." Shu Tong felt sorry for the two old people: "Wouldn't that mean your grandpa and grandma would end up living on the streets?"

Two elderly people, so old, still have to go through all this. You can imagine how desperate they are. This is simply pushing them to death!

Qi Nian puffed up his cheeks and shouted: "Beast!"

"Who said it wasn't? By the way, I have to thank you, Qi Nian." Wen Yu said with gratitude: "If it weren't for you, these might have really come true. My dad would have to be kept in the dark all his life and accept the thief as his mother, and I would have to accept the thief as my nurse."

Qi Nian felt a little embarrassed by what she said and waved his hands to indicate that he didn't do anything.

Wen Yu didn't get too sentimental and talked about something happy: "When I was little, I thought it would be great if Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu were my grandpa and grandma. I never thought it would come true!"

Qi Nian and the others immediately took out milk tea and used it instead of wine to congratulate her.

"My dad has been busy with a lawsuit recently. After all, what the old woman did was illegal. Although she is old and can't go to jail, she will lose money financially. Although I don't care about the money, it's good to let them feel some pain." Wen Yu sounded very happy: "So he can't thank you in person recently. When there is a chance in the future, he will thank you in person."

Social phobia Qi Nian declined politely: "That's not necessary."

Wen Yu: "How can this be possible..."

"You don't understand him yet?" Lu Ze tried hard not to laugh, otherwise it would seem like he was joking.

"Hahaha, that's right." Wen Yu said, "I'll tell my dad about this when I get home. Oh, there's one more very important thing!"

Wen Yu's expression became serious: "From now on, I will not be called Wen Yu anymore. My name is Liu Yu. The surname Wen is unlucky."

Shu Tong applauded: "Okay, Liu Yu!"

Liu Yu laughed: "I'm fine, I just changed my last name, after all, my dad got my name, he had to change his given name, but he's in business, so he can't change it suddenly, I guess I have to keep using the name, because he's very angry about this."

"But my grandparents comforted him. I never thought that my dad, now in middle age, would experience the feeling of acting coquettishly in front of his parents." Liu Yu felt a little sad as she spoke.

Alas, there is no way. So many years of my life have been stolen. No matter how angry I am, it is useless. I might as well cherish the rest of my life.

Liu Yu had heard from her father before that he would take his grandparents for checkups and take good care of themselves, saying that as a child whose parents were stolen from them, he wanted to experience a few more decades of fatherly and motherly love.

——

The weather was exceptionally good on the day Shu Tong went abroad, with clear blue skies and crisp autumn air.

Qi Nian, Liu Yu and Lu Ze were all here. After watching them leave, Shu Tong wiped away her tears and suddenly realized that there were still many things in this land that were worth her nostalgia.

But now she has to leave. Maybe one day when she becomes stronger, she will see these friends again.

Shu Tong smiled and said to them silently across the crowd: "Thank you."

She waved and turned away.

Liu Yu waited until she left before wiping her tears and sobbing: "Wuwuwu, I don't know when I can see you again."

Qi Nian is also a little sentimental, and his nose feels sore.

"You should be happy." Lu Ze said with a smile.

"That being said, I still feel a little sad." Liu Yu sniffed.

"Okay, let's go." Lu Ze put his hands in his pockets and turned around first.

"Let's go." Qi Nian pulled the sad Liu Yu away.

Liu Yu cried for a while, and finally calmed down a little: "I won't be with you guys for a while, I'm going to go see grandpa and grandma."

"By the way, is your grandparents' house quite close to the Wen family?" Qi Nian suddenly asked.

Lu Ze, who was originally planning to go back to work, also looked over.

"Ah? They are a bit close." Liu Yu wrinkled his nose: "Why do you mention them? It affects my mood."

"Hey, didn't you say that they've been quarreling a little fiercely recently?... I'm kind of curious." Qi Nian was particularly curious.

Lu Ze coughed lightly and said, "I have nothing to do, let's go together."

Liu Yu: “…”

Aren't you guys too nosy? Although I am a little curious too.

Qi Nian: "Then shall we go?"

Liu Yu: “Elbow!”

Mrs. Wen had been living with Mr. Wen and his family. Housing in the small town outside Beijing was not cheap, so this house was quite small, just a small three-bedroom apartment.

Originally, Boss Wen had planned to buy a house, after all, he had made a lot of money from Liu Yu's father over the years.

Who knew that the truth would be exposed and the two families would go to court. In the end, not surprisingly, Liu Yu's father won the case and the Wen family had to pay a large sum of money.

The money originally planned to buy a house was not enough to pay off, and there was still a debt. All of Mrs. Wen’s valuable things were sold.

That’s not all, because the house that Liu Junxian originally lived in was also paid for by the old couple of the Liu family, and Liu Junxian’s family has now bought a place to live.

In the end, I had no choice but to live with Boss Wen's family.

But how could a small three-bedroom apartment accommodate two families, plus an old lady named Wen? You have to know that Mr. Wen’s son has reached the age of marriage, and originally the couple lived in the small second bedroom, while old lady Wen lived in the master bedroom and Mr. Wen and his wife lived in the second bedroom.

It was already crowded enough, and now there's Liu Junxian's family.

Originally, thanks to the money she could get from Liu Yu, Mrs. Wen had a very high status in the family. But now Liu Yu's father knows the truth and has long ignored Mrs. Wen. Mr. Wen is not a filial son either, so he is not as polite to his mother as before.

Want him to vacate the room? No way! No matter how much the old lady cried or scolded, it was useless.

Mrs. Wen had no choice but to vacate her room and let Liu Junxian and his family live there. As for herself, she slept on a bed in the living room.

But when a family lives together, friction is inevitable. Old lady Wen is not an easy person to deal with. She would curse people for no reason, and Liu Junxian would follow her lead.

Originally, Wen's family still cared about their reputation, but when they found out that Mrs. Wen had secretly hidden a gold bracelet and gave it to Liu Junxian, Wen's family was completely furious.

When Qi Nian and the others came over, they found that the stairs in front of the Wen family's door were already full of people. From a distance they could hear old lady Wen crying and cursing. She was sitting on the ground, slapping her thighs, and cursing. She couldn't bear to scold her own son, so she scolded her eldest daughter-in-law, calling her "little xx" in such an ugly way that it made people feel no sympathy for her.

Only after listening to the words of the people around him did Qi Nian finally understand the current situation.

Because of a gold bracelet, Mr. Wen's family wanted to drive out Mrs. Wen and Liu Junxian's family!
