Chapter 125
Driving by yourself is indeed much faster than taking a bus. After about an hour, the family saw the familiar scenery.
The car stopped in the town. Wen Wan, Liang Jinheng and Wen Guo got out of the car, said hello to the master in the car, and then the master left.
The freight truck will take several days to come back, so they still have to take a bus back to the county town tomorrow, but it is already good enough to be able to get a ride on the way back.
The place where we got off the bus was very close to the intersection leading back to Wen’s house, but it was still a bit far from the Public Security Bureau.
Therefore, Liang Jinheng asked Wen Wan and Wen Guo to go ahead, and he would go get his bicycle and then catch up with them.
Riding a bicycle is indeed faster than walking. Wen Wan and Wen Guo didn't say anything and went home with their two children.
Liang Jinheng walked quickly towards the Public Security Bureau, not wasting any time or attention looking anywhere else along the way.
But just because he didn't look at others doesn't mean others didn't look at him.
Liang Hongling and her classmates were walking on the road when she suddenly saw a figure that looked very much like Liang Jinheng out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes immediately followed him.
At first, she didn't think that the man was Liang Jinheng. After all, Liang Jinheng was now a big leader in the county. How could he come back?
So she just thought it was someone who looked like him.
But what she didn't expect was that when she looked, she found that the man was actually Liang Jinheng.
"Liang Hongling, what are you looking at? Last time my mom put you in there, it caused her and my uncle so much trouble. Do you know how much trouble your incident last time brought to our family?"
The classmate next to her was the one who had used her mother and uncle's connections to get Liang Hongling directly into the county middle school.
It was just that Liang Hongling, Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng's family had a dispute last time because Erniu's incident involved a group of human traffickers and affected their own work, causing the people to become suspicious and dissatisfied with some leaders and teachers in the county.
Liang Hongling definitely lost her job, and the two people who put her in jail also suffered the consequences.
This incident made Liang Hongling afraid to go out for a long time, and she even dared not come to the town, let alone contact her classmate.
But after staying at home for the entire New Year, the brigade has been planning to prepare for spring plowing in the past few days.
Liang Hongling, who had no job, naturally had to work with the team, otherwise she would be considered a lazy person and be looked down upon.
But Liang Hongling had never done much farm work since she was a child, so how could she willingly follow that group of old farmers to work in the fields?
So she was scared by this incident, and even if she was ashamed to die, she had no choice but to come to the town to think of a solution. She could look for her former classmates in the town and ask them if there was any way around it.
Who knew it was such a coincidence that she had just found her classmate and hadn't said a few words to him when she saw Liang Jinheng.
The classmate noticed that Liang Hongling's eyes looked strange and she kept staring in a certain direction, so he asked her, "What are you looking at?"
Liang Hongling replied subconsciously: "My eldest brother is back!"
Liang Hongling’s elder brother!
"Is that your elder brother who went to work in the county?"
Liang Hongling didn't bother to explain at this moment, and just responded casually: "Well, I have to go home first, my eldest brother is back!"
After she said that, she excitedly ran up to chase Liang Jinheng.
Although what Liang Jinheng did to her and her second brother was excessive before, after calming down for such a long time, Liang Hongling still felt that she and her eldest brother were born of the same father after all, so even if there was a gap between the siblings, how distant could it be?
Of course, what actually made Liang Hongling change her mind the fastest was her current situation.
No matter what, my brother works in a big factory in the county.
Compared to the entire small town, the county is a big city!
There are more opportunities there, and the salary is definitely higher. As long as Liang Jinheng gives her a hand and finds her any job, Liang Hongling feels that she can easily get out of her current situation.
So for her own future, she had to put aside her pride and get closer to her eldest brother again and ask him to help her.
Liang Hongling followed Liang Jinheng all the way to the Public Security Bureau.
When Liang Hongling saw the gate of the Public Security Bureau, she immediately stopped.
She has a shadow over this place.
Thinking that Liang Jinheng would come out soon anyway, Liang Hongling just stood somewhere outside and waited for Liang Jinheng.
But what she didn't expect was that she actually waited for Liang Jinheng to come out, and saw Liang Jinheng riding a bicycle out of the Public Security Bureau.
Before she even had the chance to call him "Brother", Liang Jinheng rode away quickly on his bicycle.
Liang Hongling stood there in a daze, and it took her a long time before she remembered to chase after him.
It's a pity that she has no idea what Liang Jinheng ate to grow up. He rides his bicycle so fast that she can't even outrun him!
In the end, Liang Hongling could only watch Liang Jinheng's figure disappear before her eyes. She was so angry that she gasped and stomped her feet on the spot.
"Why are you running so fast? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
However, after being angry, Liang Hongling suddenly thought that since Liang Jinheng had returned, he must be going home, so she would just go home quickly.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace and ran home.
......
On this side, Liang Jinheng quickly caught up with Wen Wan and Wen Guo who had walked for a distance.
He took Wen Wan and the two children with him, and also took the things that Wen Guo brought back, and then went back first.
As for Wen Guo, he could only walk back.
Fortunately, as a grown man, he was not afraid of anything and he couldn't walk for long.
Wen Wan and her friends had bicycles, so it was much faster. When they got home, the Wen family hadn't even started making lunch yet.
Seeing Wen Wan, Liang Jinheng and the two little ones coming back, Old Lady Wen, who was sitting at the door sorting vegetables, was stunned. She looked at them at the door with an expression of disbelief.
"grandmother!"
Finally, it was Da Wa and Er Niu who ran towards her, calling out "Grandma." Only then did Mother Wen come to her senses and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, how come you guys came back so suddenly without even telling us in advance!"
As she spoke, she moved over and hugged the two children. Having not seen her two grandchildren for a while, she felt that the two children were getting cuter and cuter.
Wenwan smiled and put the things down.
"Isn't this a good chance to give you a surprise?"
Wen Wan then asked, "Where are Dad and my second and third brothers?"
She became curious when she saw that only Mother Wen was at home and no one else was there.
Mrs. Wen immediately explained, "Your father took them to the team leader's place for a meeting."
Some time has passed since the beginning of the year, and spring plowing is about to begin. Before the spring plowing begins, the brigade has to hold a meeting to discuss the future plans and arrangements, and the main labor force of each family has to attend.
Old Lady Wen herself was not someone who could do much farm work, and since several men in the family had gone, she didn't have to go.
I was preparing dinner at home for them to eat when I came back, but I didn't expect Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng to come back with the two little ones.
This is a coincidence. If she had come back a little later, she would have had to cook the meal again.
As Mrs. Wen said this, she walked towards the kitchen and prepared to cook.
Seeing this, Wen Wan originally wanted to wait for her elder brother to come back and give her a surprise, but now it seems that the surprise can no longer be kept secret.
She could only helplessly say, "Mom, I might have to cook for one more person."
Old Lady Wen was stunned and subconsciously asked her, "Who else is coming?"
"Brother also came back with us, he's behind us!"
Ouch!
When she heard that her eldest son had also returned, Mother Wen smiled again.
Ever since the eldest son and Wen Wan were seen leaving the village together that day, the entire brigade has been talking about it.
In the past, when people talked about Wen Guo, they thought of him as a man with no special abilities. But now when people talk about Wen Guo, no one fails to give him a thumbs up!
Of course, the Wen family knew the specific situation of Wen Guo very well. He must have started as an apprentice in the transportation company, and he was not as powerful as outsiders said.
But this did not prevent Mother Wen from feeling comfortable, especially when she saw the unwilling looks in the eyes of the Tian family. She felt that it was more comfortable than eating any delicacies.
"Okay, since everyone is back today, I'll go cut a sausage and a whole piece of bacon for us to eat!"
These were saved before the New Year. It is not easy to eat meat this year. Rural people can hardly get meat tickets, which makes it even more difficult.
Therefore, the New Year pig distributed by the brigade every year becomes the source of meat for everyone in the coming year.
Every household would not eat fresh meat as it is, but would choose to make it into bacon or sausages, hang them on the beams, and eat them all year round.
The fact that Old Lady Wen was willing to cut sausages and bacon showed that she was really happy today.
But since Wen Wan has returned, it is impossible that she has returned empty-handed.
"Mom, there's no need to cut the sausages and bacon. I brought back two pounds of meat. Let's have this for lunch."
Nowadays, eating meat in the city is much more convenient than in the countryside. Wen Wan doesn't want to eat her parents' meat and make them live a hard-working life all year round.
Old Lady Wen scolded her, "You just started working, how much money can you possibly make? Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this. Save more in the future!"
Wen Wan didn't say that she hadn't even received her salary yet, and the money to buy the meat was still Liang Jinheng's money.
He just replied vaguely "OK".
Then he pushed Mother Wen into the kitchen and prepared dinner with her.
Liang Jinheng was watching the child in the yard, and not long after, Wen Guo also came home.
On his way back, he met many people on the road.
And the reactions of those people when they saw him were completely different from before.
Before, when they saw Wen Guo, they would just walk past him without even looking at him and wouldn't say a word.
But now when they saw Wen Guo, they all greeted him warmly and asked about his affairs in the county.
Wen Guo knew that most of them had no bad intentions, but he still didn't know how to deal with such a situation, so he almost ran all the way from the village entrance to his doorstep.
Who knew that after returning home, it was Mother Wen who started asking him all sorts of questions. Wen Guo couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that he couldn't escape the fate of being questioned.
But unlike others, what Mrs. Wen asked him were whether he ate well outside, how was his accommodation, whether he was used to it, and so on.
Every word is full of concern.
This made Wen Guo feel warm and secure.
At the same time, I also told myself again that I must gain a foothold in the city as soon as possible, and then bring my parents to live in the city!
Not long after, Father Wen, Second Brother Wen, and Third Brother Wen also came back.
When the three of them came back and saw Wen Wan and the others, they became excited.
The whole family immediately sat together and started talking about the recent situation of both parties.
They kept chatting until it was time for lunch, and then they were interrupted by Old Lady Wen and started eating.
However, while they were eating, a sound that made the whole family feel annoyed suddenly came from outside.
"Wen Guo, Wen Guo, are you at home? Come out for a moment!"
When Father and Mother Wen heard this voice, their faces immediately darkened.
They were not deaf and had no amnesia, so they immediately knew who the owner of the voice was.
Who else could it be? It’s Tian Tian’s mother!
That person used to pass by the door of their Wen family whenever he had nothing to do, and he would shout at the top of his voice that their Tian Tian had married to the county town.
"What is she doing here?" Old Lady Wen snorted heavily, then glared at Wen Guo and said, "Don't go out!"
She didn’t know whether others held grudges or not, but Old Lady Wen was quite vindictive!
In fact, even without her reminder, Wen Guo would not have gone out.
He has no relationship with the Tian family at all now, so why would he go out?
So the family continued to eat, turning a deaf ear to the voice of Tian Tian's mother outside.
Obviously, since they didn't say anything, Tian Tian's mother outside knew that they were pretending not to hear, and she couldn't help but spit in anger.
Who is this!
If I didn't have something to ask them, I would have really come to this shabby house just because I wanted to!
Tian Tian's mother rolled her eyes angrily, and then without waiting, she walked straight into the Wen family.
The Wen family didn't hear Tian Tian's mother calling outside, and thought she had gone back. Who knew that this person actually came in directly!
Old Lady Wen's face instantly fell, and she slammed the chopsticks down on the table. As she stood up, she didn't forget to pick up the broom by the door. She looked like she was going to fight.
The Wen family has always been protective of their own people. Seeing Mother Wen's attitude, not only did they not try to persuade her to calm down, they all looked at Tian Tian's mother, using their eyes to support Mother Wen.
Tian Tian's mother had never seen such a scene before, and her legs almost went weak.
But he managed to hold it back, and said in a trembling voice, "You, what are you going to do? It's broad daylight. If you dare to do anything, I will, I will call for help!"
"You still have the nerve to call for help? You broke in without our permission. Can I call you a thief?"
"What thief! I just came in to ask something!"
Tian Tian's mother knew that the Wen family didn't welcome her, and she was also afraid of being beaten. So she quickly looked at Wen Guo and asked, "Wen Guo, you said you went to the county now. Did you run into my Tian Tian?"
Wen Guo frowned and was about to say that he and Tian Tian had nothing to do with each other now, so there was no need to ask him.
But before he could open his mouth, Old Lady Wen snorted coldly.
"Who is Tian Tian? No one in our family knows anyone by that name. Don't come to our house asking!"
Tian Tian's mother was so angry. When she was a relative of Wen's, she didn't realize that she could speak so unpleasantly.
But what can she do? Now she can only bear it!
After all, it has been almost a month since Tian Tian went to the city and hasn't written home.
When she went to the city before, she said that after she settled down, she would send money and tickets home every month. The man she had just married came from a wealthy family!
But after such a long time, not only no money or bills, not even a letter has been delivered.
How could Tian Tian's mother and even the entire Tian family tolerate this?
But they didn't know Tian Tian's specific address in the county. Even if they knew it, they didn't dare to go to the county to find him, for fear of wasting money.
So in the end they could only wait and wait.
Unexpectedly, today she heard someone say that Wen Guo was back.
Now Tian Tian's mother could no longer sit still and quickly ran to the Wen family.
After all, Wen Guo had a relationship with Tian Tian before, and he actually has a good temper. I believe he would not refuse if asked to help or ask questions.
That's why Tian Tian's mother rushed to the Wen family in such a hurry, just to ask him if he knew any news about Tian Tian.
She actually had no idea how big the county town was, but they were from the same place after all, so it was impossible that they had no connection at all.
"Look at what you're saying. Even if the two children are divorced, they still slept in the same bed. Do you really need to draw such a clear line between them?" Tian Tian's mother couldn't help but mutter, "Besides, my Tian Tian is married now. If I hadn't been unable to contact her, do you think I would have come to you?"
Even asking a question to a person is so great that Old Lady Wen can no longer tolerate it.
She picked up the broom and walked forward, raising it to hit Tian Tian's mother.
"I told you that our Wen family has nothing to do with your Tian family anymore. Why don't you get out of here? Are you leaving? If you don't, I'll really hit you!"
"Hey, stop calling me, I really just wanted to ask! You said you have a daughter, and if one day you can't contact your daughter, you'll be worried!"
As Tian Tian's mother backed away, she couldn't help but look towards Wen Guo.
"Wen Guo, please tell your auntie, have you seen Tian Tian? What's she like? Why didn't she write to your family?"
In fact, what she wanted to ask more was the situation at the family of the man Tian Tian married. Did that damn girl forget that she said she would send money home?
But it's really hard to say this in front of so many people.
Wen Guo looked at the worried expression on Tian Tian's mother's face and wanted to lie and say that he had never seen Tian Tian, but he finally spoke in a deep voice.
"I saw her."
As soon as these words were spoken, Tian Tian's mother's eyes lit up and she immediately became excited.
"What's going on with her? Why doesn't she write home?"
Wen Guo recalled the day he saw Tian Tian, and guessed that the family she had just married into might not be well off, and that they had to raise several children, so life must be quite difficult for them.
But apart from these, Tian Tian herself was fine.
Therefore, Wen Guo summarized everything in just one sentence.
"There's nothing wrong with her."
As soon as these words were spoken, Tian Tian's mother's eyes changed and she began to curse in her heart.
Well, this damn girl really doesn’t recognize anyone after going to the city!
He also said that he would send money and tickets back home after he went there, but in the end, he sent nothing, not even a letter!
It seems that it is just as her brother said, she married into the city just to completely get rid of their Tian family!
But how could this be possible? She was the daughter she had raised, and she hadn't even enjoyed her blessings yet. How could she let Tian Tian just get away from their Tian family and disown them like this!
Thinking of this, Tian Tian's mother immediately turned around and walked home with gritted teeth.
She had to tell her husband and son about this, and they should all work together to think of a way to find that damn girl!
Seeing Tian Tian's mother leave, Mother Wen spat behind her, then closed the door and locked it, for fear that Tian Tian's mother would come back again.
When Wen Wan heard her elder brother Wen Guo say "there's nothing wrong with her", she stopped talking in a trance for a while.
She actually wanted to say that although Tian Tian’s condition couldn’t be said to be anything wrong, it wasn’t anything wrong either.
But she also didn't like Tian Tian and her family, so she was too lazy to explain.
Let Tian Tian's mother figure it out herself.
After Mother Wen sat down, the whole family continued to eat, but while eating, Mother Wen couldn't help but asked about Tian Tian.
She was mainly afraid that Wen Guo would go to the county and run into Tian Tian, and then something would happen.
Fortunately, Wen Wan helped to testify, saying that they just happened to pass by and met Tian Tian that day, and the eldest brother didn't even pay attention to her.
After hearing what Wen Wan said, Mother Wen was relieved, but she still repeatedly reminded them that they didn't like Tian Tian and they couldn't continue to associate with her.
Of course Wen Guo and Wen Wan both agreed.
After dinner, the family sat together and chatted for a while, and Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng suggested going back to the Liang family.
They still had some things to pack last time, so they could go over and bring everything over later, and then go to the county with my eldest brother in the afternoon.
Of course, Mrs. Wen didn't say anything when she heard this. She left the two children here to look after them and asked Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng to go to the Liang family.
The couple rode their bicycles all the way back from the Wen family and soon arrived at the Liang family.
They were pressed for time and didn't want to delay any longer, so after arriving at Liang's house they went straight back to their own room.
Who would have thought that the family next door had already known that Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng had returned from the county town after Liang Hongling tipped them off.
They had been waiting since morning until now, and were almost getting impatient when they heard the sound of the door opening next door.
Liang Hongling stood up suddenly and said happily: "It must be my elder brother and his wife who are back!"
Apart from her, only Old Man Liang had a change of expression in the room. Liang Jinbu and Miao Chunhong had one expressionless face and the other with his face almost hanging to the ground.
Liang Hongling didn't care about the two of them. She opened the door and ran out. When she ran to Liang Jinheng's room, she called her elder brother and sister-in-law in her most affectionate voice.
Her voice sounded behind her, but it gave Wen Wan goosebumps all over her body.
Wen Wan stood up and looked back at Liang Hongling. Her eyes were so clear that she almost asked her directly - are you sick?
The smile on Liang Hongling's face twisted for a moment, and she clenched her palms, reminding herself that she had to rely on Liang Jinheng now, and she couldn't be angry with Wen Wan, that stinky woman!
So she had to pretend that she didn't notice the disgust and aversion on Wen Wan's face, and she raised her feet to walk towards their room, saying, "Brother and sister-in-law, you are packing your things. I just happen to be free, so I'll come and help you!"
Just as she was about to step in, she heard Wen Wan frown and call her: "Don't come in!"
Liang Hongling's footsteps just hung straight in the air.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
She looked at Wen Wan with a puzzled look on her face, and then explained: "I really just want to help you. I was wrong about what I did before, and I have realized it. Moreover, I have sincerely repented at home during this period. Sister-in-law, please forgive me."
After she finished speaking, she saw Wen Wan just looking at her without saying anything. Liang Hongling felt dissatisfied, but she could only show weakness.
"My eldest brother and I are siblings after all. This blood relationship cannot be severed. Anyway, I was ignorant before and I did something wrong. Now I apologize to you, eldest brother and sister-in-law, please forgive me."
Wen Wan saw that she was still playing the family card at this time.
Blood relationship?
She probably didn't know that the brother-sister relationship she thought she had with Liang Jinheng no longer existed.
Wen Wan glanced at Liang Jinheng, unsure whether he intended to tell the Liang family that he was not Old Man Liang's son.
Noticing Wen Wan's gaze, Liang Jinheng looked up, put down the things in his hand, and then turned to look at Liang Hongling.
Liang Hongling on the opposite side showed a pitiful expression: "Brother..."
Liang Jinheng said to her coldly: "I am not your brother."
