Wen Jiao was stunned when she heard this. "Wen Yu said this? Damn it! What is she going to do?" She stood up. "I'll go ask in person!"

The maid Qiu Shui quickly stopped her, "Wait a minute, young lady!"

Wen Jiao gave her a sidelong glance, "What are you doing?!"

"Girl, the eldest girl...she just feels that the eldest master has returned and has a backbone, so she wants to be tough. It's just for a few days, why do you have to confront her?"

"Oh! Uncle is back, but what does it have to do with her?" Wen Jiao had long known the position of Wen Yu in her uncle's heart.

"Miss, you have to give face to the master and the mistress no matter what. If you make a scene now, the master and the mistress..."

"Don't worry! They won't side with her!" Wen Jiao said proudly.

"No! But why would you? When you go to the capital, you will have to rely on the master and the mistress for many things!" The master is responsible for the appearance, and the mistress is responsible for the social interaction...

"Haha, how do you know that I'm not making a fuss just to help my aunt? Or to please her?" Wen Jiao had a sarcastic smile on her face.

"What I mean is, don't let anything go wrong before our master gets married. Anyway, the master will be gone in two days. We'll be together for a long time, so why not punish her anytime?"

"Hmph... Never mind. My eldest brother is getting married, so I will just put up with her for now."

…

The next day, the old lady asked someone to call Wen Qian over to talk to Wen Yu.

Yuan's things haven't been sorted out yet, and we don't know the situation yet. What's the point of talking about it now?

Wen Qian was a little embarrassed.

But the old lady said that guests would start coming to their house soon, and some things should be made clear before the old man came back.

Wen Qian thought: That's right. Let's talk about it this way. As for these properties, if I can't get a little girl like her, how can I be an official in the capital? So he wore a light-colored silk and linen clothes, held a folding fan, and walked slowly to his mother's room.

…

Being called in for a talk by two heads of the family was something that had never happened in the previous life.

Wen Yu calmed down and sat there generously.

The old lady and Wen Qian felt mixed emotions as they looked at the beautiful and dignified Wen Yu.

It feels like something that I had left behind many years ago has finally come back to me.

The old lady had forgotten the deceased daughter-in-law of Yuan. What was certain was that she was definitely not as pretty as Wen Yu.

The vague impression I have is that he is respectful and gentle, somewhat naive, and you can tell at a glance that he doesn't seem to have any real abilities.

As for Wen Yu in front of her, she did not show any disrespect or alienation.

But, there is a feeling that he is very far away from you. This calm and indifferent look is a bit like my eldest son... Things in the bones and blood are born with it, and it can't be cultivated after birth! If it weren't for a lot of troubles, I would have to give my eldest granddaughter with such a good appearance a good future, and the Wen family would also benefit greatly!

Alas, the old lady sighed inwardly, calmed herself down, smiled a little, and asked kindly, "I heard from your father that your uncle is back?"

"Yes, grandma." Wen Yu nodded gently.

"So, the Chen family is fine now?"

"I've been pardoned. It's all right now."

"Oh, is everyone in the family safe?!"

The old lady's attitude was a little confusing to Wen Yu.

"Grandma Lao asked. She suffered a lot, but everything is fine."

"Alas, being able to return safely is the best..." The old lady recalled the past and was very emotional, "Wen Yu, for so many years, the family has not contacted your uncle, and has not been able to help. It's really... the things involved in the Chen family are too complicated and too dangerous.

We are a big family, we cannot afford any mistakes! Your father asked grandmother several times to send messages and money, and to ask for help, but grandmother stopped him. Your uncle, do you blame the Wen family? "

"Grandma, my uncle told his granddaughter: The Chen family's misfortune has nothing to do with the Wen family. How can you blame them?! It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. As you said: There are dozens of people in the Wen family, and we cannot take any risks. My uncle understands." Wen Yu's eyes were red, and she was moved and sincere.

Who can't pretend? ! "That being said. But when he came back, he didn't go looking for your grandfather and your father, nor did he come looking for your grandmother. Instead, he contacted you. It seems that the Wen family is to blame." The old lady smiled bitterly.

"Wen Yu!" Wen Qian scolded with a sullen face.

Wen Yu stayed there without saying anything, but did not admit her mistake.

Wen Qian said coldly: "I dare to do this and take responsibility for it. When your mother came into our family, your grandmother and I treated her well. She died of complications during childbirth, but people who are alive must live their lives.

Our family has also experienced turmoil and hard times. Even now, privately, we are not as peaceful and prosperous as others think! The family needs stability, I need to study and find a job, and continue the family line. How can I have time to be sad and mourn for my wife? !

Your mother knew your father's temper before she married him! So, you and your uncle should just forget about it! There's no need to look for me in any way."

He is so righteous!

If I didn't know the details, I would really believe you! Wen Yu tried her best to suppress her anger.

He did something so ugly, yet he could still make up such an excuse in such a grand manner. He is so shameless! "Father...you don't have to be so excited when I mention this matter! You feel that your idea is right, but uncle feels that his idea is right! Everyone has different interests and feelings."

Wen Qian wanted to say something, but the old lady raised her hand and said, "Okay! Yu'er, how did you meet your uncle?" She brought the subject back.

"My granddaughter went to visit Afang's home, and my uncle found me there."

"What did I tell you?"

"I only talked about their life there and their future plans. When they first came back, their situation was really difficult. The granddaughter gave all the jewelry and silver she had to her uncle, and took the initiative to talk to her uncle about her mother's dowry."

"Why didn't you tell Grandma?"

Wen Yu lowered her head and said nothing.

"Wen Yu, this is not a trivial matter. How can a girl like you go to see him and make a decision?"

"grandmother……"

The old lady raised her hand and said, "If this matter were to be made known to others, everyone would think that the Chen family was rude! Whatever you promised, if your grandmother and father don't agree, it won't come to fruition! Even if the lawsuit is brought to the capital, the Wen family will not be in the wrong!" The old lady was very serious.

"Yes, grandma." Wen Yu had no choice but to bow her head. "My granddaughter did something inappropriate in this matter. But, grandma, I also told my father yesterday. Logically, my uncle can ask for part of my mother's dowry back."

"That was the result of mutual consultation between the two families. My Wen family will not embezzle my daughter-in-law's dowry. But it is unreasonable for a girl to handle this matter!" said the old lady.

This was true. Wen Yu played the sympathy card, her eyes reddened and she shed tears: "The Chen family suffered a disaster, and my mother passed away. My uncle was demoted thousands of miles away, and he suffered a lot. He tried his best to come back with his family. Grandma, you haven't seen that my uncle is so old, with a head full of white hair. His back hurts so much that he can't even stand up straight. It seems like he is two generations away from my father..." When she saw her uncle, although she was prepared, she was still shocked.

At this moment, she didn't feel sad, but tears flowed out involuntarily, "At this time, let your uncle come to tell you and father these things... Your granddaughter really loves him. So, even though it's not right, your granddaughter did it. I just hope he can raise me and not..."

The old lady was a little surprised that this girl could have such feelings for her poor uncle whom she had never met... Alas! She felt a little sour.

Wen Qian looked at her silently without saying anything.

"Come on, let's not talk about that anymore. The Chen family is innocent, and the Wen family can help your uncle." Grandmother set the tone, "As for job hunting and academic matters, go to your father. Grandmother can arrange accommodation, money, and people! Tell your uncle these words, although your mother is gone, you are still here! Our two families are relatives, there is no need to be so formal!"

Wen Yu was even more surprised...

"And... I remember that you have a cousin. If your aunt is willing, send your cousins ​​and nieces over here! Raise them in the Wen family for a while and get along well with you sisters. They have a hard time over there, and they may not have a good upbringing. We have hired a tutor to teach them in all aspects. It will only benefit them in the future."

Grandma was so enthusiastic and pragmatic that Wen Yu didn't know how to respond for a moment. She just said carefully: "It is indeed difficult for uncle to come back. However, he went to live with a friend and is not here."

The old lady glanced at her eldest son.

"Oh, is that so? Living under someone else's roof is not a long-term solution. If your uncle really doesn't want to trouble our family... after accepting your mother's dowry, he is willing to help them. That is your filial piety. Your grandmother and grandfather will not stop you."

Is it settled?! Wen Qian was also a little surprised and glanced at his mother.

"It's just that everything should be done in moderation. Relatives only lend a hand when you are in a hurry. The future path depends on them." The old lady was sincere and sensible.

"Yes, grandma is far-sighted! Your granddaughter has learned a lot." She answered gently.

"Boss, take a look at these lists and go back to prepare everything quickly." The old lady handed the lists that Wen Yu handed over to her son.
