Chapter 42: Unwarranted Difficulties



"Although I have already sent Song Fu to clean up the yard, it is not easy to have so many people there at once, especially when we are going to entertain guests in the mansion in the future. The garden and the main hall should be made presentable! In addition... if there are good properties and opportunities, it will be convenient for you to manage it with money in your hand."

"Yes. Don't worry, Jun can do these things without any problem." He definitely has no time after his promotion, so everything has to be taken care of by his wife.

The old lady refused to accept it, "This is in your hands! Boss, Yuan has never served me as her mother-in-law in all these years since she came into the family! I'm telling you this, when we go to Beijing in half a year, she should make it clear to me! If there's no rules and I get angry with her, you'll be in trouble!"

"Yes. Don't worry, mother. Ajun is a sensible person." Wen Qian didn't care.

What a joke! If you were really sensible, you wouldn't have used Chen's dowry!

How on earth did this bitch fool my son into this state?

For a while, the old lady was somewhat discouraged about the life in the capital city that she had been looking forward to. But looking at her son, she couldn't bear to bother him with trivial matters...

I just sighed in my heart, I really love him, but I don’t know if that woman feels the pain.

Let’s take it one step at a time!

Until Wen Qian got into the car and left, he didn't speak to Wen Yu again.

Wen Yu was just among her sisters, and she saw her father off at the gate according to the rules.

No matter how well-mannered Yuan was, she couldn't suppress her grief and anger at what she had lost, and she was unwilling to play Tai Chi with Wen Yu anymore. She just listened to the old lady's instructions gently.

Wen Huan said goodbye to her sisters with a happy smile, and mentioned a lot about meeting in Beijing in half a year. She even talked to Wen Yu for a long time!

"Big sister, I'll go and familiarize myself with the route first. When you get there, I'll take you to Houhai to admire the lotus and Xishan to watch the snow!"

Haha, you want to see me in Beijing? You're dreaming! "Okay! Then it's settled!" Wen Yu said with a smile, and secretly made up her mind: If I don't go, will you "family" live happily ever after? Wishful thinking! I'll go! ...

After sending Wen Qian away, Wen Yu prepared to ask Wu for more help.

She first asked Hong Xing'er to take Yin Kezi to find Nanny Wu, who was by Wu's side, to ask when Wu was free.

Unexpectedly, Nanny Wu didn't even glance at the silver, and even said a few words in a sarcastic tone...

Hong Xing'er was already upset because the eldest master really didn't take Wen Yu to the capital, and she hit a snag here. She came back and spoke to Wen Yu in a bad mood.

Wen Yu already knew that Hong Xing had met Aunt Xu and had hidden something in the Peony Pavilion after returning, but she only asked Xiao Ji to observe secretly and was not in a hurry to see what it was.

Seeing Hong Xing's expression, he didn't get angry. "Forget it, I'll go by myself later!"

After a while, Wen Yu arrived at the place where Mrs. Wu did her daily work. Madam Wu was talking to a few people at the door. "Mother Wu, is Second Aunt in there?"

Aunt Wu said calmly, "Oh, it's the young lady! Why are you here?"

"There is something my grandmother asked me to find my second aunt!" Wen Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and just came up and carried the old lady out.

"The old lady asked you to come over now?!" Mother Wu ignored him.

"No, but..."

"Madam has something important to do and is too busy to see you now. Please come back when you are free!" Madam Wu interrupted her.

"Then..." Before Wen Yu could finish her words, Nanny Wu turned around and went in.

I thought things would go wrong, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't even be allowed to see him. I stood there for a while, but there was nothing I could do, so I had to go back.

In the afternoon, she went again, and was told that her wife was not in the room.

Going back and forth took a whole day.

The next day was again...

Early in the morning of the third day, when Wen Yu went to pay her respects to the old lady, she met Wu.

"Second Aunt..." Wen Yu said delicately, smiling sweetly: "Yu'er has something to ask you, when are you free?!"

Mrs. Wu smiled and responded generously and happily: "Oh, I'll finish my housework in a while, then you can come over!"

When I went in, I saw Mrs. Wu sitting behind the table looking at something, with two people standing in front of her with a respectful look.

Wen Yu came in without even raising her eyelids. After a long while, she took out the pair of cards and said to the two men, "Okay, let's do this first!"

The two men nodded and took the sign and left.

However, Mrs. Wu picked up another account book and still ignored Wen Yu.

In her previous life, Wen Yu had never dealt with Wu. Whenever she was seen in front of her grandmother and second uncle, she was always so docile, never smiling or speaking.

He is meticulous and considerate towards his own children.

In front of the mother-in-law and the housekeeper, she is noble and capable.

In front of relatives and friends: easy-going and meticulous.

What a considerate person! But now facing me, his face was full of arrogance and rudeness, as if he didn't want to pay attention to me at all. How could he smile in front of the old lady?

"Second Aunt!" Wen Yu pretended not to notice and said softly, "I believe you also know that Yu'er accepted her mother's dowry. But now I am really confused. I wonder if Second Aunt is free. I want to ask you for advice!"

"I don't deserve it!" Mrs. Wu said indifferently, without even looking at her, and continued to flip through the account in her hand.

"Second Aunt... I always hear people talking about your wedding dress. I wonder how many brides envy you! Over the years, you have not only taken care of your own dowry, but also the food, clothing, housing and transportation of our entire family. Although I don't know what you are capable of, from the affirmation of grandma, you must be very powerful. Just give me some pointers, and I will benefit a lot!"

Haha, this is true! After hearing this, Wu was very happy.

She thought she was good in everything except her looks... Ever since she saw her husband for the first time, she couldn't let him go and almost went crazy. She worked really hard to marry him.

Now, her mother-in-law values ​​her, her husband relies on her, she has power and wealth, and she has a son and a daughter. Everything seems to be going well.

However, what she cared about most was her husband's friendship. But in the face of his lust, not only could she not object, but she had to cooperate unconditionally and take the initiative to make arrangements! These negative emotions fermented in her heart and had long since become moldy and rotten.

She looked down on Yuan from the bottom of her heart: How shameless of her to take the dowry from the previous person! But she could get the undivided love of her uncle! How absurd...

What is envy, jealousy and hatred? This is it!

She was happy to see Yuan return the dowry to Wen Yu, but that didn't mean she was willing to help.

So, although the words sounded pleasant to her ears, she was not moved at all. "…I have been busy these days and I am very tired. You didn't tell me the details of your matter. I will ask you again later!"

"My dear second aunt, right now, Yu'er just wants some manpower to help me look after the shop and business. Otherwise, please send two capable subordinates over to help Yu'er!" Wen Yu looked flattering.

"That won't do! People will think that I am coveting your mother's dowry. Haha, it's really not worth it with what you have!" She shook her head slightly, looking pretentious.

"Second Aunt, Yu'er knows you don't like her!" Wen Yu still smiled: "Look, you are so busy all day, if Yu'er keeps chasing you to ask for someone, it will be so annoying! We are going to the Song family soon, it will be a lot of trouble! When grandma is traveling, you have to be careful everywhere, right? Just send Yu'er away, okay?!"

That's true! "Go back and write a list first." Mrs. Wu dismissed him directly.

"Second Aunt, the list is easy to write. Can we give it to whoever Yu'er writes?"

"What are you thinking?! How much money do we have at home to support you as an idler? Everyone has their own job. If I give it to you, what will I do with it?!"

Then what’s the point of me writing?

"Oh, so that's it... Grandma did say that both you and grandma know middlemen who are very honest. If that doesn't work, Yu'er should just look for them outside?" She seemed to be talking to herself.

"Wen Yu. Is this something a grown-up girl like you can do? I'm not saying anything bad about you! Don't get carried away just because you have some property in your hands!" Mrs. Wu was angry, and her power was intimidating.

"Second Aunt, you've confused me. You don't have anyone to help you, and you can't buy it outside. Then...what can I do?"

"Didn't I tell you just now? Write a list and let me take a look! Go back quickly, I have something else to do!" Mrs. Wu simply ignored her.

The list had already been written and was on Wen Yu's body. Just as she was about to take it out, she stopped again.

Not yet...
