What are you doing here?
Wen Qihang opened the door, but instead of stepping aside to let people in, he stood at the door and asked impatiently.
"Brother, I heard you came back from Xiaoxue's place, so I came to ask about her."
"You can leave now. Xiaoxue doesn't need your fake concern." Wen Qihang told him to leave directly.
Wen Moyu had finally found an excuse to visit, so she wasn't about to leave easily.
"Brother, why do you say that? How is it hypocritical for me to care about Xiaoxue?"
With that, she forcefully pushed Wen Qihang aside and went straight into the house, followed by Yu Xuejian, who chuckled twice.
Seeing that his neighbors were peeking in, Wen Qihang didn't want them to see what was going on in his house, so he closed the door.
After Wen Moyu and her husband entered the house, they greeted Wen's parents, but neither of them paid any attention to them.
Yu Xuejian was a little embarrassed, while Wen Moyu was a little angry. However, thinking of the purpose of their visit today, she managed to suppress her anger.
"Dad, you're holding the newspaper upside down," Wen Moyu gently reminded him.
Wen Shengtao froze, then decided to stop pretending and folded the newspaper.
"Knowing you're not welcome, what are you doing here?"
"Dad, I'm your daughter, your biological daughter. Is there anything wrong with me going back to my parents' home to see you?"
Wen Shengtao said with a stern face, "We told you before that if you married this Yu man, you should never enter this house again. You chose him yourself, and now you've forgotten so quickly."
“Dad, we were just saying things in anger back then, how could we take them seriously? It’s been almost half a year, even the biggest anger should have subsided by now.”
Before Wen's father could say anything, Wen's mother snorted coldly.
"Hmph, you schemed against your own sister for a man, do you think we were just saying that out of anger?"
"Mom and Dad, I know we've wronged Xiaoxue, but matters of the heart are unpredictable. I heard Xiaoxue is married now. It's too late to say anything now. I'll make it up to Xiaoxue in the future. Please forgive us. A family shouldn't hold grudges overnight."
Yu Xuejian added, "Yes, Mom and Dad, we're all family. I'll make it up to Xiaoxue later."
Wen's parents and Wen Qihang didn't believe the two men's nonsense. If they really wanted to make amends, they would have done so long ago. Why wait until now to say just one sentence?
Wen Qihang went along with them, saying, "Since you want compensation, let's do it now. Why wait until later? Putting everything else aside, you took Xiaoxue's job back then, and that job was worth at least four or five hundred yuan. No need to give more, just 450 yuan as compensation."
Wen Moyu looked at him in disbelief, never expecting her usually gentle brother to be so aggressive.
She was furious. She was also his sister, their daughter, so why were they all siding with her?
From a young age, everyone favored the younger sister, thinking she was the older sister and always giving in to her. Even though they were twins, she was only born a few minutes earlier.
So she would grab it; anything she didn't grab must belong to her younger sister.
They never considered whether it was fair to themselves; they only saw that they had wronged their sister by winning the fight, and they never saw their favoritism.
That job was arranged by her family, not by her own abilities. She's part of the family, so what's wrong with taking the job? Why should she be paid compensation?
"Brother, we have no money."
Mo Yitao scoffed, "So you think compensation is just a matter of a word?"
Wen Moyu bit her lip, on the verge of tears.
"Mom, no. I really want to make it up to Xiaoxue, but the circumstances don't allow it right now."
As she spoke, she touched her lower abdomen. "Mom and Dad, brother, I'm pregnant. I still need to raise the baby, so there's really no other way for now."
Upon hearing that she was pregnant, all three of them looked at her stomach simultaneously, and their expressions softened considerably.
They didn't mention giving money again.
Seeing this, Wen Moyu smiled slightly. She knew that by mentioning the child in her belly, they would feel compassion.
Besides trying to ease tensions, I also wanted my family to provide some financial assistance.
Her parents' salaries are not low, and with her three brothers earning nearly 200 a month, they can easily save over 100.
But she and Xuejian together only earn 60 or 70 a month. The key issue is that Xuejian has to hand over his salary to his mother, saying that the family has incurred a lot of debt because of their marriage and they need to save money to pay it off first.
With her monthly salary of just over 30 yuan, after deducting the living expenses for the two of them, there's barely any money left to buy other things.
After several months, she hadn't saved a single penny, and her standard of living was far worse than when she was at her parents' home.
I had heard that my family sends things to my younger sister every month. Since my family can help her, why can't they help her too?
However, we cannot rush things now; it is more important to ease tensions first.
"Mom and Dad, I will definitely make up for the money to Xiaoxue when she is older."
No way, you'll never get her to come up with that money in this lifetime.
"Can you please forgive us for the sake of the child? I've been really upset these past few months because you've been angry with me and ignored me."
As she spoke, tears began to fall in a steady stream.
Yu Xuejian quickly advised, "Xiaoyu, stop crying. The doctor said you're feeling down and the pregnancy isn't stable. You can't get too emotional."
Upon hearing this, the three members of the Wen family frowned, unsure whether it was true or false. But regardless, they certainly didn't want anything to happen to the baby in her womb.
Wen Shengtao waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, go back and rest early. Since the pregnancy is unstable, try not to go out too much."
Wen Moyu did not leave. Instead, she found a chair and sat down, gesturing for Yu Xuejian to sit as well.
