Wei Yuyan drank the tea in one gulp. How could there be such a person? So shameless.
No wonder Wu Chen's family is so poor; they must have been eaten out of house and home by these vampires.
"you………".
"Niece-in-law, is this how you talk to your elders? You never visit Grandma during holidays."
Wu Chen, you start being sarcastic and sarcastic as soon as you sit down. I'm not saying this as your uncle, but you're being sarcastic.
Women shouldn't be spoiled, otherwise they'll start riding roughshod over men sooner or later.
The uncle immediately used his status as an elder to pressure Wu Lei, because in this era, being unfilial is a serious crime.
"Don't trouble yourself with these things, Uncle. You've had your tea, so if there's nothing else, you can go back now."
Wu Chen clearly didn't take his uncle's words seriously. He could tell that Wei Yuyan didn't like them, so he also hoped that she would leave as soon as possible.
"Alright, alright, you really are my good nephew, you're trying to kick me out."
Do you remember when your mother passed away? If it weren't for my family lending you money to help with the funeral arrangements, your mother wouldn't even have had a coffin.
Since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being unjust in the future.
My uncle started bringing up old grievances again. He came this time because he heard that Wu Chen had become successful and was returning by carriage.
So I thought I'd come and see if there was anything I could get for it.
"Uncle, we paid back the money you lent us back then a long time ago, and all the things you took from my house over the years..."
From a chicken to a needle, the amounts are countless. Isn't that enough to repay this favor?
Wu Chen spoke softly, without a trace of emotion, yet it rendered his uncle and aunt speechless.
"Hmph, I told you long ago, they're ingrates. You didn't believe me, but you insisted on coming."
As she stepped out the door, her aunt glared at her husband.
"His wings have grown strong..."
Wu Chen's uncle took out his pipe, took a puff, and realized that Wu Chen was no longer the same Wu Chen he had been a few years ago, someone he could easily fool.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let them in and bothered you."
Wu Chen knew that his uncle and aunt had probably upset Wei Yuyan, so he quickly apologized.
"It's good that you know."
Wei Yuyan was also annoyed with Wu Chen. This damned relative had stolen a piece of cured meat from the original owner last year, and she had been holding a grudge ever since.
"Sister-in-law, did they used to come here often to freeload?"
Leng Feng asked the same question that Wu Chen wanted to ask.
"Of course. I didn't know they were this kind of people before. I accidentally let them steal a piece of cured meat from me."
Later, I started avoiding them. And then, I wasn't afraid anymore. At worst, I'd just fight them.
Wei Yuyan recounted her psychological journey along the way.
"Oh, I see. I'll go to her house tonight and steal a few pieces of cured meat for you, sister-in-law."
After saying that, Leng Feng quickly ran out to see where his uncle and aunt lived.
“Oh…no need…”
Wei Yuyan wanted to say there was no need to be so impulsive, but since Leng Feng had already disappeared, she let him go.
"Yu Yan, there's actually something else I want to tell you."
Wu Chen not only had some things he wanted to say to Wei Yuyan, but actually had a lot of things he wanted to say to her, but he never had the chance.
"Let's do it another day. I have to go to town later. I'm going to sell steamed buns at the market tomorrow, and I need to go help out today."
Wei Yuyan wasn't curious at all about what he wanted to say to her; she could guess it all—he just wanted her to stay.
"Aren't you coming back tonight?"
Wu Chen was surprised?
"Yes, before Sister-in-law Xiuhua got pregnant, they were the ones helping out, so I didn't go very often."
She's pregnant now, and we haven't found a suitable replacement yet, so I have to go and help her myself."
Wei Yuyan doesn't know how she ended up chatting with Wu Chen.
"How about we hire someone to help?"
Wu Chen figured he needed help anyway, so he decided to hire someone who was trustworthy and wouldn't slack off.
"Huh? I've never thought about that before. Even if I were to buy one, I'd wait until next year."
My sister and brother-in-law are coming next month, so it's perfect for my brother-in-law to take care of things.
Wei Yuyan thought that her brother-in-law was busy with the steamed bun shop and had learned how to make steamed buns, so she could finally catch her breath.
Next year, I'll research soap products again. Whether I open a steamed bun shop or a soap product shop is up to my brother-in-law.
"Sister and brother-in-law? The ones from Pear Blossom Village?"
Wu Chen naturally knew that Wei Yuyan had a married older sister.
"Yes, how did you know it was Pear Blossom Village?"
Wei Yuyan was curious; he seemed to know quite a bit about her family.
"I've only heard about it before. Do you and your sister communicate by letter?"
Wu Chen knew that Wei Yuyan had a bad relationship with her parents-in-law, so he didn't say that he had heard it from them.
"We hadn't been in contact last year, but she sent something through someone in the first half of this year."
I was surprised and touched, so in the summer I went to visit her in person.
I never imagined she was living in even more poverty than me. This time, I wrote to them specifically to ask them to come over as soon as possible.
On the one hand, it's a lively occasion to move into a new house, and on the other hand, it's a chance for my brother-in-law to learn some skills to support the family.
Wei Yuyan was in a good mood when she talked about her older sister and brother-in-law, so she talked to him a bit more.
"That's great, let them celebrate the New Year together here."
Wu Chen could see the tenderness in Wei Yuyan's eyes when she talked about her sister and brother-in-law.
"Yes, that's what I think too..."
Wei Yuyan then realized that she had talked to him for so long, as if she were discussing family matters with him.
"Do you want the cold wind to carry you there later?"
Wu Chen noticed that the weather was getting cold, and riding in a carriage would provide shelter from the wind and rain.
"No need, Brother Lifu will pick me up."
Wei Yuyan felt that she was used to riding in the oxcart and didn't feel cold.
Wu Chen nodded, seemingly lost in thought.
"Wu Chen, what are you doing at home? You sit here all day. Get up and walk around if you have nothing to do."
Brother Lifu arrived and came in to exchange a few pleasantries with Wu Chen.
"I went to town this morning."
Wu Chen responded with a smile.
"Oh, that's good. Your sister-in-law won't be coming home to sleep tonight, so don't feel bad about it."
Zhang Lifu joked.
"Of course I'm reluctant to leave, I'm just hoping my brother-in-law will come and help soon."
Wu Chen thought that it was already the end of November, and his sister and brother-in-law should arrive in a few days.
"Yes, business has been good lately, so we added steamed buns to our menu. The three of us are busy and a bit overwhelmed, otherwise we wouldn't have sent my sister-in-law."
Zhang Lifu explained that when selling steamed buns, even four people couldn't keep up with the demand.
Making steamed buns is a little better; I can manage to sleep less.
Wu Chen nodded, feeling a little annoyed that his leg wasn't better yet, otherwise he could have helped share the burden.
"Let's go, Brother Lifu."
Wei Yuyan changed her clothes before coming out. She didn't want to wear nice clothes to sell steamed buns, as she was covered in flour and oil stains.
"good".
Zhang Lifu got up, and Wu Chen watched them leave together.
