Chapter 14: High and Low



Wen Qian looked at her red and swollen face, sighed secretly, threw away some of his guilt, and sat at the table with a sullen face.

"I want my mother's dowry!" Wen Yu stood up, sat down opposite him, and started talking.

"What did you say?!" Wen Qian was shocked! He thought Wen Yu would complain about his neglect and injustice over the years, talk about the grievances she suffered at home, ask how to punish Wen Huan, accuse Yuan and propose compensation conditions, and even ask to go to Beijing with him.

I didn't expect that she would actually mention this.

"You heard it right!" Wen Yu looked at her father's surprised expression and confirmed, "I am already fifteen years old and my mother's only child. Her dowry should be borne by me. So, now, I will accept my mother's dowry."

Huh, her tone! Wen Qian laughed sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to... Hehe." It was a pity that she had to go around in circles like this.

Wen Yu said nothing and just looked at her father silently.

"According to the custom: men and women who have not married and separated their families have no private property. Even if you are engaged and need to use your mother's dowry, the Wen family and the Chen family must negotiate to resolve it."

Wen Qian looked at Wen Yu calmly, analyzing in his mind: Could her change be caused by the coming-of-age ceremony?

Wen Yu said nothing and looked back at him calmly.

"Your mother's dowry is her private property, yes. But she is dead now, and the Wen family has the right to keep and supervise her dowry. As for you... let's talk about it when you get married."

"Since it is my mother's private property, it is legitimate for her only daughter to keep it. Moreover, if I hold it in my hands, the Wen family can also supervise it." Wen Yu said calmly.

"You!" Wen Qian started to get angry again.

"I"? "The Wen family"? She sounded so distant, as if they weren't really a family!

A little girl, actually so difficult to deal with! "...I can't believe I'm arguing with you about this..." Wen Qian felt like he was about to faint from anger.

"Father, there is no need to be like this. This matter will have to be mentioned sooner or later!" Wen Yu seemed to be more rational than him, "Besides, father, have you forgotten? Back then, mother married the man of her dreams..." At this point, she smiled sarcastically.

A surge of anger rushed into Wen Qian's heart again, and he looked at Wen Yu with a sense of deterrence: No wonder I hit her, it's really hateful! But Wen Yu disagreed, "My grandfather was happy. In addition to the dowry that the family should give to my mother, he also gave my mother four parts of my grandparents' private property. My uncle and aunt each got three points... My uncle and aunt had no complaints because of their brotherly and sisterly friendship.

My mother passed away without a son. Normally, part of the dowry should be returned to the Chen family. But my uncle loves me and has never asked for it. Will the Wen family just take it for themselves? ! "

"Asshole! How dare you talk like that!" Wen Qian slammed the table.

He could never imagine that he, who could speak freely in front of his superiors and colleagues, would be speechless in front of his daughter. What else could he do except to use his status as a pressure? This reminded him of the feelings his father brought him when he was a child: pressure, depression, fear, and nowhere to escape...

This is so bad!

He said coldly: "Whether your grandfather gave more or less is the Chen family's business and has nothing to do with the Wen family. Besides, the Wen family also has its own betrothal gifts! If your uncle has any ideas, let him ask me for it!"

Who knows if that bastard uncle is still alive...

Oh my! He suddenly remembered that half a year ago, on the occasion of the Empress Dowager's 80th birthday, there had been a general amnesty. Could it be...

Wen Yu said calmly, "Many years have passed, so I guess my father must have really forgotten. The Chen family didn't keep any of the Wen family's betrothal gifts, and mother brought them all back. Could it be that my uncle remembered it wrongly? But, it was written in black and white, and I saw it for real!"

"Your uncle is back?" Wen Qian calmed down suddenly.

No wonder... She was so confident, it turned out that her uncle came back to support her! "He's back. My uncle was demoted for many years, and when he was pardoned, he came back with his family. My uncle suffered for many years in another place. My cousins ​​also suffered. So, even if my uncle didn't mention it, I want to return part of my mother's original dowry to my uncle."

Wen Qian ignored the sense of ownership in her tone, and thought secretly: Why didn't my mother mention this? Didn't she know? Wen Yu sneered in her heart: In the last life, my uncle came back and passed by Dingzhou. He knew that my father was an official there, so he went to him first. He wanted my father to help him settle down. The key is to handle the sons' school registration.

But I didn't expect that my father would be willing for my uncle to be independent. Would he want to have the ability to settle old scores?

So he sincerely pointed out a blind path. The result was that his uncle's job search was unsuccessful and his brother's studies were unsuccessful.

Finally, when she has established herself in the Song family and is able to take care of her uncle...

My eldest cousin had married and lived in another place before I came back. She was bullied by her mother-in-law and beaten by her husband, and she is now dead. My youngest cousin... later, with her help, she married well.

But what will happen to her after I die... This is really hard to figure out. After all, I still don't understand how I came back! In this life, she returned to this life when she was fifteen years old. The next day, she wrote a letter and entrusted the most reliable escort agency in the local area to intercept her uncle.

Sure enough, in Dingzhou, he met his uncle who came to seek help from his father and brought him back directly.

She took the opportunity of visiting her best friend's house to meet him.

When the uncle, who was in ragged clothes, old and tired, saw his niece whom he had never met before, he was so excited that he could not speak. The two had a sincere talk, and then the uncle and his family, with all her belongings, went to the capital to seek refuge with a man named Mo.

She knew Lord Mo in her previous life, when she met an old acquaintance of her maternal family in the capital after Song Shang made her his wife. According to Lord Mo, her maternal grandfather had done him a favor.

At that time, Lord Mo had become very successful, but he still remembered his old love and even went to see her on purpose to find out information about her family so that he could provide some help.

Unfortunately, my uncle had passed away by then. Although my cousin had no worries about food and clothing under her protection, he had lost his ambition and his future was hopeless...

Wen Qian suddenly had a bad feeling, so he eased the atmosphere and said, "So that's how it is! In the past two years, I have been so busy that I neglected this matter. This is really good news...

Let's put it this way: give me your uncle's address, I can help him with his affairs. It would be more appropriate for me to negotiate with him about your mother's dowry."

"My uncle and my daughter have agreed that my mother's property will be handed over to her. How to divide it will be decided separately. My uncle has personally written a letter, stating that no matter how my daughter manages, he will take responsibility, will not complain, and will not look for the Wen family. My daughter will show the letter to you in a while. Oh, don't worry, I have found a witness to sign it!"

Wen Qian was furious again and even found a witness... How many things has she done behind my back? It seems like she came prepared!

Although he was angry, he couldn't help but smuggle: Wen Yu and Wen Huan's dispute was really not on the same level! As the saying goes: the difference is immediately apparent...

The eldest daughter... Is this the demeanor of the eldest daughter?

Wen Huan, whom he doted on and carefully nurtured, showed a vision and methods that were really disappointing...

After collecting his thoughts, there were still many things he couldn't figure out: Even if her uncle was instigating behind the scenes... he knew: his mother had been neglecting Wen Yu for so many years.

But her performance just now was rational and calm, she knew the rules, and she was brave! How could she learn this in a short time? !

This matter...

Wen Qian was indeed smart enough and calmed down immediately: Right now, it seems that everything is at a stalemate... After weighing the pros and cons, he decided that it is better to be cautious.

That’s all!

Originally, I didn't covet these things from her! Now, let's not argue about them in vain.

He nodded and said in a businesslike tone: "Show me your uncle's letter. If you have decided on this, I have nothing to say. I will discuss it with your grandmother first, and I will give you an answer before I leave!"

Two or three collections every day, a few recommendation votes, and few people talking.

Everything seems to be operated by a robot!   Am I alone?

Just squeak, you stinky babies!
