Chapter 199: So this is what it feels like to show off
"Your sister and her family are back this time, so one room is not enough." Old Master Wen could see that the eldest family was unhappy.
There was also an unhappy look on his face.
"If you are not happy with it, forget it. You go and do the work at the third brother's house." The old man simply replaced someone else.
There are three children in the Wen family. The eldest is a son, the second is Wen Tong, and the third is the youngest son. The third son’s wife has a good relationship with Wen Tong.
"Okay, I'll go after I finish my meal." Mei Qin, the third son's wife, happily agreed.
The eldest daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and looked disdainful.
But what does it have to do with others? Just because she herself has a bad relationship with Wen Tong, does she have to pull others along?
What Meiqin dislikes most is her eldest sister-in-law, and she doesn't know why her eldest brother liked her sister-in-law in the first place.
But this is someone else's business, and she is too lazy to care.
Besides, she and her husband separated a long time ago, so this family has nothing to do with them.
If the old man and the old lady were not still there, they might not come back for the New Year.
Meiqin knew that her nephew and his family were coming back together, so she not only helped clean up the house, but also asked her daughter-in-law to buy a lot of gifts.
Her second sister hasn't been back for many years, so she really didn't prepare in advance. It's certainly not too late to prepare now.
Fortunately, my wife is a reliable person.
Just as the Wen family was getting ready, Wen Tong and his family drove over.
Mr. Wen is also an old revolutionary, and his status and position are incomparable to that of Mao.
The place where he lives is no worse than where the Mao family lives.
Of course, once the old man is gone, I’m afraid the Wen family won’t be able to live here.
This is also the reason why the article has not been disbanded.
Wen Tong and Wen Yan had already prepared for the possibility of their family's collapse.
But Wenbo and his wife were not prepared for this and just wanted the old man to move his position.
But Mr. Wen is such a smart man. It would be fine if he didn't do anything himself. His superiors would help the Wen family to some extent based on his contributions.
But if he takes action, it will definitely affect other people's business. When he leaves, I'm afraid the Wen family will have no chance of gaining a foothold in Kyoto.
The eldest child is the only one in the family who follows his own path, but he is a useless one.
The third brother has his own career and can establish himself in Kyoto, but the Wen family has disbanded and the only ones he can help are his own descendants.
So, the old man sees it very clearly, it is good for the eldest son to stay in that position until he grows old.
Although the Wen family has left the center, they can still maintain their reputation in Kyoto.
"Mom and Dad, we're back." Wen Tong looked at the familiar scenery, feeling deeply moved.
For her, her parents' home has given her many beautiful things.
But when you grow up, those beautiful things will be destroyed as your brothers start their own families.
Fortunately, she can accept it.
"Hurry, come in. Are you cold? It's much colder here than in Lu Province." The old lady came out immediately when she heard her daughter's voice.
"Mom, please walk slower. Your legs and feet are not in good condition." Wen Tong saw her mother whom she hadn't seen for many years. Her hair had turned completely white, without a single strand of black hair left. This made her heart ache.
"No way, your mother is fine." The old lady was very old, but she was very clear-headed and had a bright mind.
She expressed understanding for her daughter not coming back for many years.
Even if you ask her, she won't come back.
But what else can I do? In order not to let my daughter down, if she doesn’t want to come back, she doesn’t have to come back. I can just call her more often on weekdays.
"Dad." This Xian shouted to the old man.
"Grandpa, grandma." Anping couple also called out with a smile.
"Aunt, Third Aunt." They didn't forget about others either.
"Come in quickly, don't stand outside, it's very cold." Meiqin didn't care whether her sister-in-law asked or not, she asked her nephews to come in first.
Anping and Zhang Lan still like this Third Aunt very much.
"Aunt San, the weather in Kyoto is really cold." Zhang Lan and Mei Qin are close and they usually communicate on the phone.
As for Mrs. Wen, she had a sullen face the whole time, and became even angrier when she saw that no one paid any attention to her.
I secretly cursed him for being uneducated.
Unfortunately, no one heard it except her own children. What was the use?
Not angry.
After sitting down in the living room, the old man began to ask about my health.
An Xian might have been more restrained in the past, but it was his fault that he had no ambition and did not let Wen Tong live a good life.
But it’s different now, he has a nephew-in-law who is his own, and that is his confidence.
From now on, as long as his family does not break the law, they will no longer be afraid of being schemed against by others.
After all, they are blood relatives.
An Xian told the Wen family that they had come to Kyoto a long time ago, but the children only came yesterday, and now they are here today.
When the old man heard this, he immediately followed Anxian's wish and asked them how they came to Kyoto.
An Xian did not hide anything and said everything that needed to be said.
At this moment, he was extremely happy. It turned out that showing off could make people so happy.
"Mao Jianwen, I know this guy." After hearing this, the old man slapped his thigh and said, "This young man is very promising. He is even listed in Tianting. I didn't expect that he is actually your nephew's husband."
Mr. Wen sighed, as expected, the one who gets rich first may not always be wealthy.
Those who get rich later may not always be able to keep their money.
Only people like this who are both capable and lucky can last long.
Anping's mouth twitched twice. It was the first time he discovered that his father had this attribute.
Everyone had someone to show off to, except him and his son, so the two of them had to huddle together for warmth.
After the Wen family members gathered at noon, An Xian talked about his nephew's husband.
Mao Jianwen was the first to be listed in the military region, and anyone with a little status had read the official document.
Not to mention people like the Wen family.
Of course they knew.
Uncle Wen has changed his expression from previous years.
He got into a fight with An Xian at the dinner table.
It was almost as if he was asking him to take care of himself.
Fortunately, although An Xian drank, he refused to agree to anything.
Old Master Wen watched and listened to the whole process. He knew that his son-in-law was angry.
However, there is nothing wrong with not helping.
The boss has to take responsibility for his own mistakes.
They played until the afternoon before Anxian's family said they wanted to go home.
But the old lady refused to do it.
"How can you live in someone else's house when you come to Kyoto? It's not as comfortable as your own home." The old lady said this with no other meaning, she just missed her daughter.
But to Anxian and Anping it had another meaning.
"That's also our third brother." An Xian put away the smile on his face.
"Mom, my third brother is very hospitable and we are used to living here. We won't trouble my eldest sister-in-law here. I have already made arrangements for my niece and my third brother's wife." An Xian was still quite polite.
When the old lady heard this, she knew she had said the wrong thing, "Son-in-law, that's not what I meant." She knew that Tong'er and her sister-in-law didn't get along, and she always had to suffer when she came back.
If the old man and I were not still here, I am afraid she would not have set foot here.
"Mom, I know you don't mean that. Besides, my third brother's wife is really a nice person. She arranged everything a long time ago. We just got back together this year, so it's hard to refuse. Next time, next time we'll come back to see you."
Wen Tong held her husband's hand, then spoke to the old lady with a smile.
