Chapter 96
After they left, Wen Wan could only stay here and wait for him.
Mulanzhi was worried that she would be bored, so she decided to take her out for a walk.
She asked Mu Qingping to look after the three children at home, and Mu Qingping of course agreed.
At the same time, she could also see that her mother Mulanzhi's purpose in taking Wen Wan out was probably not just to take her out to relax.
She must be planning to tell everyone in the compound about Wen Wan's identity.
Otherwise, how could her mother, who usually doesn't like to go out and chat with others, suddenly suggest taking Wen Wan for a walk nearby?
Wen Wan didn't think much about it. She didn't feel comfortable here either. When she first came in, she saw that in such a large family compound, everyone lived in small single-family houses. There were almost no people outside. She thought that she and Mulanzhi would not meet anyone if they went out for a walk.
But who knew that after Mulanzhi took her out, she actually took her directly to a place similar to a family compound for leisure and relaxation, where many old ladies were sitting and chatting and drinking tea.
Wen Wan paused, and her first reaction was to tell Mulanzhi to go back.
Neither she nor Liang Jinheng had made plans to live with the Mu family, so naturally they wanted to turn around and leave when they saw Mulanzhi's neighbors.
"Hey, I see a few friends over there. Come, auntie will take you to say hello." Mulanzhi smiled and pulled Wen Wan over there.
Looking at her impatient footsteps, Wen Wan realized that Mulanzhi must have planned to bring her here when she left the house.
"But, Auntie..."
Mulanzhi said sincerely, "It's okay, Wanwan. Auntie knows I've missed out on so much over the years and haven't been able to help Jinheng or you. Now's a good time to introduce these people to you while I still have some connections. More friends means more opportunities. If you and Jinheng run into any problems in the future, you won't be left alone."
She knew that Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng would not accept any money or gifts she gave them.
The things she and Mu Qingsong had originally bought for Liang Jinheng that day were finally brought back by Liang Jinheng, who said they had everything they needed.
Maybe he really didn't need it, but Mulanzhi always felt that she owed him.
Since he doesn't want genuine goods, introducing some people to them can be considered a form of alternative help.
When Mulanzhi said this, there was even a hint of pleading in her tone.
Wen Wan had no choice but to nod and walk over with her.
In fact, compared to allowing her and Liang Jinheng to expand their network, she felt that this matter would have a greater impact on Mulanzhi.
For the neighbors who knew her, she suddenly had an older son and daughter-in-law in their twenties, and people asked her what to say.
And even if she said it, whether others believed her or not, and what would they think of her behind her back?
There's no way she didn't know this.
But even though she knew what others would say about her, she still had no hesitation in telling everyone the identities of Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng.
In fact, Wen Wan has already felt this sincerity.
When the people over there saw Mulanzhi and Wen Wan coming over, they stopped chatting and looked at her.
"Xiao Mu, what brings you here today? It's been ages since we last met. Where have you and Ping Jiang been these days?"
Some people in the crowd who had a good relationship with the Harmony Family were already greeting them with a smile.
Mulanzhi naturally responded gracefully.
"I had to go out of town to deal with some things a few days ago, so I was delayed for a few days and couldn't come to greet you all. Please don't be offended."
"Oh no, no."
In fact, everyone had heard that they went out of town because of Doudou's matter, so naturally no one would be stupid enough to ask directly and poke at someone's scars.
However, Wen Wan beside Mulanzhi attracted everyone's attention.
"Who is this comrade?"
The smile on Mulanzhi's face became more enthusiastic. She took Wenwan's arm and introduced her to everyone.
"This is my eldest daughter-in-law."
Eldest daughter-in-law!
When this name came out, everyone around was shocked.
Doesn’t the Mu family only have an eldest daughter and a youngest son? When did they have an eldest daughter-in-law?
With the eldest daughter-in-law, doesn’t that mean they have an eldest son?
How could Mulanzhi not see the doubtful and suspicious looks from everyone? She pretended not to care and said, "My eldest son was not able to grow up with me for some reason a few years ago. I found him this time, but he just went out with Old Mu for something else. I'll introduce him to you when I have the chance."
As she spoke, she began to introduce the people present to Wen Wan.
"Wanwan, this is Uncle Li. His son works at the Education Bureau. Da Wa and Er Niu haven't started school yet. If you have any questions, you can ask Uncle Li."
"This is Aunt Sun. Her daughter works at a newspaper and is also a literature lover. You have good literary talent, too. You could exchange ideas later."
"This is Uncle Zhou, he is..."
After all these events, Wen Wan had become numb from the initial shock of "This child is actually him" and "This old man is so amazing".
The group of old neighbors around also looked like they didn't know what to say, and were silently complaining in their hearts.
Xiao Mu, why don't you just say directly that you are here to act as a matchmaker?
However, it is not surprising for families like theirs to build more bridges to provide a way out for their younger generations.
What surprised them was that Mu Lanzhi had never brought Mu Qingsong from the Mu family to meet and introduce him to them. They didn't expect that she would be so active and helpful to a daughter-in-law she had just found. It seemed that Mu Lanzhi and her eldest son were very much liked by her.
So everyone greeted Wen Wan enthusiastically and talked to her for a while.
"Now that we know each other, we are all your elders. If you have any questions in the future, just come and ask us. Don't be so formal."
Everyone's kind smiles somewhat diluted Wen Wan's embarrassment and nervousness, especially Aunt Sun, who had a daughter working at a newspaper. Thinking about what Mulanzhi had just said about Wen Wan's good writing skills, she was really interested.
She called Wen Wan aside to talk and asked her with a smile where she worked now.
Wen Wan paused, then smiled and said that she had just moved recently and had not yet found a suitable job.
She couldn't possibly say that she had always been unemployed.
"I think you're good-looking, and Xiao Mu said you're also a good writer. My daughter's newspaper is really short of reporters lately. I wonder if you'd be interested in trying out for a position. I think it's called an editor-reporter, and they need someone with good writing skills, preferably someone who can write stories!"
Aunt Sun didn’t really understand the details, but that didn’t stop her from being willing to introduce a job to Wen Wan.
This way, the Mu family would owe her a favor, and it would also solve the problem of finding editors and reporters for her daughter.
When Mulanzhi was at Wen Wan's house, she saw the books and notebooks that Wen Wan placed on the table. She accidentally read a few of them, including a short story that Wen Wan had written casually.
It may be told to the eldest and second daughter. It is very childish and interesting, but also very exciting.
That's why I used such a firm and proud tone when I just said that Wenwan has good literary talent.
Wen Wan didn't expect Aunt Sun to introduce a job to her so quickly. She was stunned for a moment before answering.
"Auntie Sun, I've only written essays and children's stories before, and I've never worked in a newspaper before. I'm not sure if I'm qualified for this position."
"Oh, it's okay. No one is born to do a certain job. If you don't mind, I can let my daughter take you to try it out. Of course, if you have other considerations, that's fine too. I just mentioned it casually."
Wen Wan was actually a little moved by what Aunt Sun said.
She has indeed always been interested in literary stories.
Moreover, in her eyes, the newspaper was a job that she had no chance of getting into, and an opportunity that could not be missed.
So she looked at Mulanzhi, and Mulanzhi naturally gave her an encouraging look.
"It's okay, let's just try it, it's nothing anyway."
Seeing this, Wen Wan could only suppress her inner nervousness and excitement and said, "Then I'll trouble Aunt Sun!"
"Okay, then I have to go back and ask her when the interview is available. Then I'll come to your house to find you!"
The home Aunt Sun was referring to was naturally the Mu family.
Mulanzhi agreed immediately: "Thank you, Sister Sun."
She originally just came here to meet some people, but unexpectedly she would get an interview opportunity that she was interested in. Wen Wan was naturally in a good mood.
So after returning to the Mu family, even Mu Qingping noticed her joy and couldn't help asking, "What good thing happened, sister-in-law?"
Wen Wan pursed her lips and smiled, a little embarrassedly saying: "It's nothing, just now my aunt took me out and I met Aunt Sun. She recommended a job for me, but it's not confirmed yet, so she just asked me to go for an interview first."
"Oh, congratulations, sister-in-law! You're so smart and capable, you'll definitely get that job!"
Mu Qingping also has special confidence in her.
However, the job that Aunt Sun introduced is most likely in the provincial capital.
If sister-in-law Wen Wan really succeeds, she will have to stay in the provincial capital from now on.
Then wouldn't her poor elder brother have to stay in the county town with the child, or alone?
However, it was not easy for her to say this now. What if she said this and her sister-in-law didn't go to the interview? Then she would be a sinner.
Let’s wait and try it first.
When it was almost dark, there was finally movement at the door.
Liang Jinheng and Mu Pingjiang are back.
At this moment, he was cooking dinner outside the house with Mulanzhi and Mu Qingping, and he was serving the big meal that Mulanzhi had prepared earlier.
The two of them calculated their timing perfectly and came back just as the last dish was being put into the pot.
"I knew you would come back at this time!"
Mulanzhi hurried over and couldn't help but glance at Liang Jinheng and Mu Pingjiang's faces. She asked nervously, "How is it? Are the results out?"
Mu Pingjiang laughed.
"How can it be that fast? They said it would take at least a week to two weeks."
"It's been so long..."
Mulanzhi was obviously disappointed.
She thought she could get the results on the same day.
But seeing that Mu Pingjiang and Liang Jinheng were not anxious, she didn't plan to worry either.
Anyway, the son is hers now, this is confirmed.
Whether it's Mu Pingjiang's or not, he should be the one who's worried.
"Okay, both of you go wash your hands first, then come and eat!"
Mulanzhi asked the two of them to clean up, and then went to call Mu Qingsong down.
Although they were unable to have a proper family reunion dinner during the Chinese New Year, they made up for it this time.
Today, the whole family is here, what a good day!
After Liang Jinheng went to the bathroom to wash his hands, he walked to Wen Wan's side.
Wen Wan was helping to serve the dishes and felt he was in the way when she saw him coming.
"Go sit over there first, don't block me."
However, when she said this, her tone was not as disgusted as usual, but rather coquettish, which made Liang Jinheng feel strange.
He clearly felt his wife's mood, which seemed to be very good?
"Wanwan, did anything good happen to you while I was away this afternoon?"
Wen Wan put the food in her hand on the table and couldn't help but look at him with a smile.
"You can see that?"
"Is there really good news? What is it?"
Liang Jinheng didn't expect that he guessed it right, so he asked curiously.
Wen Wan was so annoyed by him that she could only quickly explain to him the job that Aunt Sun had introduced to her in the afternoon.
Ever since Liang Jinheng experienced the incident where Wen Wan was secretly rejected during the teacher interview, he deeply realized that Wen Wan was a person who liked to work and wanted to realize her value, so he was very happy that she found her dream job.
"Great! You're so smart and educated, you can definitely get this job!"
Wen Wan was a little surprised to hear that he supported her so much in going to the interview and didn't act like he was reluctant to part with her like he did last time.
"Aren't you worried that we'll be separated?"
After she said that, Liang Jinheng was of course reluctant to let her go.
but.
"Compared to your happiness, nothing else matters to me now."
After hearing this, Wen Wan felt that something was wrong with Liang Jinheng.
He wasn't the type to say such things before.
Seeing her questioning look, Liang Jinheng couldn't tell her that the topics he and Mu Pingjiang had been chatting about for a few hours in the afternoon were all about topics like "how to be better to your wife" and "who is better to his wife".
The atmosphere between the two of them was a bit awkward at first, but then they started talking about wives and daughters-in-law first, and then they began to compare and contrast with each other, wondering who treated their wives and daughters-in-law the best.
Liang Jinheng also found it amazing when he thought about it. He didn't expect that the bridge that broke the awkwardness between him and Mu Pingjiang was actually their wives...
But because of this conversation, Mu Pingjiang became more confident about the test results.
Because in his words—
There is no man in our Mu family who doesn’t love his wife!
So it is most likely that Liang Jinheng is his child.
However, Liang Jinheng did not intend to tell Wen Wan about these topics between men.
Afterwards, the family gathered together and had a lively dinner.
Unfortunately, after dinner, Liang Jinheng and Wen Wan decided to go back to his friend's yard.
Mulanzhi was reluctant to leave, but finally Wenwan saw her staring at them eagerly, and said with a soft heart that she should come again tomorrow, and she smiled again.
At that moment, Wen Wan suddenly felt as if she had fallen into a trap.
"Okay, Lao Mu has already called Xiao Li, he's outside, let them take you back."
The Mu family members sent Wen Wan and the others to the car, and only returned home after watching the car disappear from their sight.
On the balcony on the second floor of the Song family next door, Song Sisi looked at Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng who were reluctantly sent away by the Mu family, and her eyes gradually revealed resentment and unwillingness.
