Chapter 40 Wen Can is Here
"The prophetic dream has come true. In Chen Chunhua's eyes, I am just a slave to his two children. He enjoys my efforts and feels at ease. Although I am not his biological child, we have been mother and son for more than 30 years. He actually ignored our years of love and said he would abandon me! Maybe his feelings for me are not important in his eyes, or maybe there are no feelings at all."
Song Mingen felt a little sad.
"How can there be no feelings? After all, we've been a family for over thirty years. It's just that there's very little affection."
Jiang Yunwan was helpless. She was very angry, but now she had to coax him, "Although Wu Lingheng is the mastermind, they are all involved, so they are not innocent!"
"Yes! Wanwan." Song Mingen touched her shoulder. "They are not innocent. Are you not angry now?"
Jiang Yunwan glared at him.
Half an incense stick later, Song Mingen went to Chen Chunhua's room.
"Sister Yu has been staying at home for the past few days and is feeling unwell again, so we've asked her to go to the temple. We'll let her come back after we go to Beijing."
Chen Chunhua didn't care about Song Yu at all, she just waited for the letter from Beijing. "Did you go to the temple to draw amulets?"
"Not only did they draw amulets for you at the temple, but Sister Yu also said she would pray and chant sutras for you at the temple. I hope you get better soon."
Song Mingen found that he felt calm and without a trace of guilt when he lied to Chen Chunhua.
I feel guilty for making up such lies in the past.
Now it’s all about acting.
Chen Chunhua smiled and said, "Sister Yu is a filial child. You should go back. I feel dizzy and want to sleep."
Chen Chunhua seemed extremely tired and closed her eyes in front of Song Mingen.
Song Mingen frowned slightly.
When the letter from home arrives this afternoon, you won’t pretend anymore!
Just after noon, there was a knock on the door of the Song Mansion.
"Third Master, Third Master."
Song Minglang had just laid down when he was woken up by the servant outside the door, who looked impatient.
"It's not a big deal, be careful or I'll smash your mouth!"
"The old lady asked you to come over, saying that there was a letter from the capital."
"What? So soon?"
Song Minglang didn't have time to think about it, and pulled Cui to the main courtyard.
"Mom, what did my sister say?"
"Madam Wen, you all go down and rest first. Wait until Ming En wakes up from his nap in the East Courtyard and then let him come over."
"Good old lady."
Song Minglang couldn't wait to grab the letter and start reading it, and Cui leaned over.
"This date is wrong. This is not a reply."
"So your sister is already on her way back. She's going to take Sister Yu to the capital to meet someone."
"In that case. Mother, please get well soon. When sister arrives, we will go to the capital together."
Chen Chunhua said, "Mother knows. Don't tell your eldest brother about your sister finding a husband for Yujie'er."
"Why?" Song Minglang didn't understand, "Brother, what shouldn't you know?
"No reason, just listen to me! And your sister is now the wife of an official. How can the people she knows be compared to a little teacher?"
Cui asked, "Does that mean the Jiang family will fully support Rui Ge'er from now on?"
Chen Chunhua smiled and said, "Not only the Jiang family, but also the Wu family. Our Song family will definitely gain a firm foothold in Beijing in the future!"
Song Minglang and Cui returned to the West Courtyard and told Song Rui about this.
Song Rui was stunned. Why was it different from what he expected?
Since my aunt has allowed Song Yu to go to the capital, Song Yu’s identity is nothing to be afraid of.
How can one have a good family background if he is abandoned by his own family in a mass grave?
She saved her life!
"Mom, I heard from Madam Wen that my sister has received a letter?" Song Mingen came in and asked knowingly.
Chen Chunhua's face was filled with joy. "Mingzhu is already on her way back. She should be here in a few days."
Song Mingen also had a delighted look on his face. "I was thinking of going to the capital to give my sister a surprise, but I didn't expect her to be back already. I wonder what brought her back this time?"
Chen Chunhua's smile froze, and she pretended to be angry and said, "What else could your sister do when she comes back? Of course she came back to see us because she missed us."
"I thought too much. I thought my sister was wronged in Beijing."
"How could that be? Your brother-in-law treats Mingzhu well, so how could he wrong her? By the time Mingzhu comes back, my body will be almost healed. She is more familiar with the capital, so we won't be blind if we follow her."
Song Mingen nodded: "Mom is right. I'll go and make arrangements. My sister's yard needs to be cleaned up quickly..."
Song Mingen left the room with his fists in his sleeves clenching and unclenching.
Chen Chunhua really treated him as an outsider and was on guard against him everywhere!
Not long after Song Mingen returned to the East Courtyard, a gorgeous and ostentatious carriage drove towards Wushuang Village.
Following behind were eighteen guards with stern faces.
"It's the Wen family's carriage!" Old Master Chen hurriedly stood up from under the big willow tree, "Jiye, quickly go inform the village chief!"
"Yes, Grandfather."
Wen Can, dressed in a gorgeous red robe, got out of the carriage and stood on the bow of the carriage, his eyebrows raised, and he opened his arms to the warm breeze, "Ah, Wushuang Village, I, Can, am here again."
"Master Wen, this is the pheasant raised by Uncle Niu's family. Take it quickly."
"This is the wild rabbit your Aunt Zhang caught this morning."
"And the ducks my uncle raises. I take them to Wushuang Temple to pay my respects, then bring them back to stew with Eight Treasure Duck. The taste is incredible!"
"And my eggs..."
"My duck eggs..."
The enthusiasm of the villagers made Wen Can withdraw his arms in a second.
If he hesitated for a moment, these chicken and duck eggs, vegetables, would have to be hung on his arms, "Thank you Uncle Niu, thank you Aunt Zhang, thank you Uncle Wang... I appreciate your kindness, you can keep them for your family to take care of themselves..."
"A gift from an elder cannot be refused, so just take it, Xiaocan."
The villagers stuffed the things directly into the hands of the guards behind Wen Can and turned around and ran away.
The villagers not only respect Song Mingen, but also like Wen Can.
Wen Can also helped a lot so that they could live a good life.
"Uncle Niu...Aunt Zhang..."
Wen Can watched them running away, his eyes reddened, and he muttered to himself, "Next time I'll come to the village quietly, try to come less often, or not at all, to save the uncles and aunts money."
Then he turned his head and said to his attendant, "When you leave the village, return the gift three times as much as usual. Remember not to let them know!"
"yes!"
"Achan!"
“Big Brother!”
Wen Can jumped off the carriage and rushed towards Song Mingen excitedly.
He caught a glimpse of Song Mingen's right hand hanging powerlessly at his side and quickly retracted his foot.
"Brother, your right hand isn't..."
"This is not the place to talk."
"Madam." Cui Liu, the head maid, entered Chen Chunhua's bedroom with a happy expression. "Master Wen just arrived."
Chen Chunhua suddenly opened her half-closed eyes and asked, "Really?"
"Seriously, I went to the East Courtyard with the Master and will come to see you later."
Chen Chunhua was very happy, and Wen Can would bring her gifts every time he came.
"Mom." Song Minglang and Cui rushed over after hearing the news.
"Is Wen Can here to collect the drink money?"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Chen Chunhua's face disappeared and her brows unconsciously frowned.
This is to ask for money!
What bad luck!
"We're going to the capital soon. Let's sell the shop in the county quickly. Once we have enough money, we should pay it to the Wen family immediately. We can't let the wine money delay Rui Ge'er's participation in the provincial examination."
East Courtyard Study.
Wen Can shook Song Mingen's right hand, "Isn't this hand recovering well? Why don't you use it?"
"My right hand is fine because Sister Yu sent me the correct treatment and prescription in time. Now my right hand can't be healed for now, so I'll leave it alone. Once we deal with Banshan Yunyin, it will naturally recover as before."
