At Jinguang Temple, Ma waited for a long time before Wang Xi arrived.
She was a little unhappy and wanted to show her temper, but seeing that he didn't look happy, she endured it.
"Wang Lang is late? I was so worried!" she said in a coquettish voice.
Wang Xi took out a bag of snacks: "This is snacks from Wuxiangzhai. It's far from your home, you probably haven't eaten it. I made a special detour..."
"You always spoil me like this, and I've become greedy!"
"If you're happy, I'll be happier than anything else!" Wang Xi's mouth was as sweet as honey.
The two of them chose a secluded place and sat there to talk. You looked at me, I looked at you, full of affection.
After a long while, Wang Xi sighed: "There is something I want to tell my wife..."
His expression became serious. "Someone came from my hometown and brought a message. My parents urged me to go back."
Ma was immediately shocked: "Wang Lang is leaving? When?"
"The final date has not been decided yet. When they finish their work, we can go back together. It will be safer on the road."
Ma was anxious: "Why go back for no reason? The capital is so good!"
"I've never been married, my family must be getting anxious!"
"Wang Lang! You have such a cruel heart!" Ma Cuihua took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes.
"Don't cry, my lady!" Prince Wang hurried to comfort her.
This handsome, humorous, wealthy and generous man in front of me is leaving, and I have to go back to the old days. I can't help but feel sad.
She really cried.
"Since I met you, my heart has been devoted to you. These days are the happiest time of my life. I don't know how many times I wanted to hold you in my arms and take you home."
Ma Cuihua was overjoyed, "Wang Lang, as long as you say it, I will definitely agree!" She was almost turning into a pool of spring water.
Ever since Wang Xi met his benefactor, he has had a lot of money. Although his foreign debt has not been paid off yet, he might as well go to Xiao Yanhong.
His temper is not as great as the woman in front of him.
But...he was also very proud of being loved so much by women.
He said sadly: "My lady, you have a husband. Although I like you, I can't make you unfaithful. You and I... Alas!"
Ma hastily confessed: "That dead guy at home, I never liked him at all! I had no choice but to marry him in the first place. Wang Lang, please take me away!" As soon as these words came out, Ma stopped crying immediately.
"That's the idea! Let's go together, love each other, and live happily ever after!"
"This..." Wang Xi hesitated.
"Okay, Wang Lang! Now that there's no one to keep an eye on me at home, I can come out whenever I want. Let's go first. I've packed my belongings! Once we leave the capital, we'll be together forever."
"But my lady, I'm afraid that won't work. This is abducting a decent girl, and you will be punished. You..."
"I want to do it myself, who cares?"
"But my lady, you follow me for no apparent reason. Don't you feel wronged?"
"What should I do? Wang Lang, you don't want me anymore, right?" Ma Cuihua was so sad.
"I want to marry you and live together openly!"
"Really?!" Ma's eyes lit up, "But, what should I do here?"
"It's not like I have no idea at all."
…
That day, Chen Wensi and Li Jiang came back with Chen Wenhui.
Also traveling with them were Chen Wenhui's two sons.
After parting at the street corner, Li Jiang wanted to hurry back to tell the girl the news.
Chen Wensi and his entourage entered the house exhausted.
Uncle Chen was not at home, and Chen Wenhui started crying as soon as she entered the door. When she saw her mother again, she fell to the ground, hugged her mother's legs, and burst into tears.
Aunt Chen, I didn’t recognize her at first.
Seeing the woman in front of me, with a sad face and gray hair, she is less than 30 years old, how can she look so old...
"My Huier! How did you become like this? My heart is so broken..." He hugged her and cried.
"Mom! Mom..." Chen Wenhui only knew how to call mom.
Chen Wensi has become much more mature after this trip. "Mother, please stop crying. It is a great joy for the family to be reunited. Besides, my elder sister has been exhausted from the journey. If she is so sad, she will get sick."
"When I entered the door, someone was called!"
Aunt Chen looked at Chen Wenhui's two sons and asked, "Are these Zhao Xin and Zhao He?"
Chen Wenhui nodded: "Come here quickly and call grandma!"
The two boys were a little timid, but sensible. "Grandma!"
"Hey, dear, come here and let me take a look... Oh, you look so beautiful! Don't be afraid, this is your home. When your grandfather comes later, there will be a gift for him!"
Wen Hui choked up and said, "Mom, you and Dad have suffered so much, yet you still worry about your daughter. I am an unfilial daughter!"
"Alas, why do we have to talk about this as a family? If your family hadn't suffered a disaster, you wouldn't have ended up like this. Now that life at home is stable, you can bring them back and live there peacefully!"
"How can we live peacefully?!"
With a sharp cry, Ma appeared on the scene wearing jewelry and new clothes.
Chen Wenhui was startled and stood up quickly.
Aunt Chen frowned when she saw Ma. "Wenhui is back home now. She lives with her parents and can live wherever she wants! It's so peaceful!"
Wow, this old guy, what’s wrong? Is he so arrogant now that his daughter is back?
"That's funny! Who would take back the water that a married daughter has spilled?!"
Chen Wenhui said nervously: "Sister-in-law..."
"Don't call me! I'm telling you..."
"Cough cough!" With a light cough, Uncle Chen came back.
Ever since Ma showed up, Chen Wensi's sense of accomplishment from all the hard work and effort he put into bringing his elder sister back home was gone. His face sank, and his heart sank too.
Uncle Chen looked at his daughter. Chen Wenhui had just cried bitterly with her mother. When she saw her father, she was no longer as excited as before.
"Father." She kowtowed while holding up her skirt. "Your daughter greets you. I'm sorry for worrying you!"
"Get up!" Uncle Chen sat down and looked at his eldest daughter.
Very thin, with a frosted face and simple clothes. He felt sad! "Well. Now that you are back, take a good rest and spend more time with your mother!"
"Yes." Chen Wenhui agreed.
Uncle Chen turned and looked at the two boys.
"Zhao Xin, Zhao He."
Chen Wenhui pushed her two sons forward and said, "Hurry up and salute!"
The two children kowtowed and called out, "Grandfather!"
"Well. Get up! Zhao Xin is eight years old. Has he gone to school?"
"Yes, for a year." Zhao Xin answered in a low voice.
"After you have rested, grandpa will take a look and see what kind of school I can find for you!"
As soon as Uncle Chen came in, Ma stopped talking. She looked at her husband seriously...
Chen Wensi, like before, lowered his head and said nothing.
Tsk tsk... How can this taciturn man with a dead look be compared to Wang Lang?
I don't want to live like this anymore.
"Father-in-law, my wife has something to say!"
Aunt Chen stood up and pulled Wenhui to sit down. However, Chen Wenhui was a little worried that her presence would embarrass her parents and brother.
"Just say whatever you want to say!" Aunt Chen responded.
"Although my wife's family is poor, they are a well-behaved family! A married woman should live back in her parents' home? That doesn't make sense! I am the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law, but such a big thing in the family was done without anyone discussing it with me.
My wife is not convinced. Today, let's open the window and talk frankly. In this family, only one of us can stay, you choose!"
Aunt Chen stared in amazement: "How do I choose?"
"She's staying at home, so I'm going back to my parents' home!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Aunt Chen was shocked.
"How can we make our cousin's wife feel so embarrassed? This matter is very easy to handle! I will take your cousin away and settle her down." A gentle voice came from the door.
