Chapter 024 Are you still my mother?
It was the 1970s, bicycles were rare, people in the village worked hard in the fields, and many had never seen an ambulance.
Cars appeared in the village, and although they were very simple, they were an eye-opener for everyone.
Many children ran after the ambulance, and when they saw the car parked in front of the Wen family’s gate, they were stunned.
Could it be that the second son of the Wen family has returned?
This is such a grand ceremony!
Soon, everyone saw Song Mo and several members of the Wen family jumping out of the car.
The people from the second branch of the Wen family looked much better.
The eldest daughter of the second room, Wen Kexin, was noticeably fairer, and her eyes and eyebrows had a more delicate and charming look.
Continuing to watch, I found that Song Mo took down several bags and a strange chair from the car.
Then, Wen Jiancheng was carefully carried down and placed on a chair.
Song Mo pushed a chair, no, a cart, into the yard. ,
this……
Everyone immediately started to discuss in low voices, "Didn't they say that Wen Kexin was such a shameless girl who stole my sister-in-law's man? Why is Song Mo so nice to his father-in-law?"
"I don't understand! Could it be that Song Mo doesn't know about this?"
"Don't talk nonsense, maybe that's not the case..."
When Wen Kexin heard these words, her heart was suddenly in turmoil.
Could it be that since they weren't at home these few days, grandma and aunt-in-law have been causing trouble again?
She held back her breath and curiously asked Wen Keqin, who rushed out after hearing the news, "Second sister, what happened?"
Wen Keqin pulled the elder sister to a deserted place nearby and whispered, "Eldest sister, people in the village say... you are shameless enough to marry in her place, snatched my sister-in-law's man, and took away her betrothal gift..."
Wen Kexin's eyes widened immediately, and she blurted out, "Bullshit!"
She rushed to the gate of the courtyard like a whirlwind, and said righteously to the crowd watching the excitement: "Fellow villagers, I heard that someone in the village spread bad things about me. God knows, my grandmother said that in order to treat my father's injuries, my aunt must marry. In order for my father to stand up, I had to marry into the Song family..."
After she said these words openly, she burst into tears.
She wiped away her tears and continued in a loud voice: "If even one word of mine is a lie, may the lightning strike me and I die a miserable death!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Aunt Zhao, a neighbor who was watching the excitement nearby, said hurriedly, "Ke Xin, I happened to hear what happened that day. It was your grandmother who was rude and forced you to get married. Some people don't know the truth and talk nonsense. Let's ignore them."
Everyone in the village knew that Aunt Zhao was a good person. Plus, the Zhao family lived next door to the Wen family, so they could hear everything that happened.
After she came out to refute the rumors, the people who were saying weird things quickly stopped.
Old Mrs. Wen in the yard heard the noise and came out. When she heard what Aunt Zhao said, she immediately became furious and started to swear at her.
"Mrs. Zhao, stop meddling in other people's business. It's not your turn to comment on my family's affairs."
Song Mo had just pushed Wen Jiancheng into the yard when he heard this and took over the conversation, saying loudly to everyone, "Who told you that Wen Kexin stole the marriage? It was clearly Old Lady Wen who took the initiative to come to my mother to discuss it. Wen Hehua didn't want to marry and wanted Kexin to marry instead? My mother had no choice but to agree."
Wen Jiancheng, sitting in a wheelchair, looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone knows that since I was old enough to understand, I have worked hard during the day to earn work points, and came home to chop wood and fetch water. My wife and daughters worked even harder."
He paused and continued, "A few days ago, because I was too tired, I fell down the mountain while cutting wood and broke my leg. My mother said that there was no money at home. Later, she said that the family only had the betrothal money of Hehua, and if Ke Xin agreed to marry in my place, she could use the money to treat my leg. My mother Ke Xin is filial, for me..."
Speaking of this, he burst into tears.
First there was Aunt Zhao's explanation; then there was the person involved who told the truth; and then there was the crying of the honest man Wen Jiancheng. The people who didn't know the inside story soon understood how this storm started.
Everyone in the second house stood beside their father's wheelchair, glaring at the culprit, the old lady from the Wen family.
Old Mrs. Wen's face turned red and white. She thought that the idea proposed by the eldest daughter-in-law would bring disgrace to the second wife and that damn girl Wen Kexin.
By then, the Song family would dislike Daya, and Hehua would naturally marry Song Mo.
Unexpectedly, these people united to tell the truth, which made the mother and daughter lose face.
She said angrily, "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about? I am your biological mother, of course I want to treat your illness, but my family has no money, so I want to wait until your sister gets married. Later, didn't I give you your sister's dowry money? You used this money to treat your injuries, but you have a clear conscience?"
When Wen Jiancheng heard his mother's question, his heart suddenly turned cold.
He sneered and said, "Mom, I'm not stupid. You forced my daughter to marry for you, but you went back on your word and didn't want to pay. If Ke Xin and Song Mo hadn't come back to settle accounts with you, would you have paid for my leg treatment? Besides, the twenty yuan you took was not enough for the surgery. As a result, you spread rumors in the village while we were away, ruining Ke Xin's reputation. Are you still my mother?"
Old Mrs. Wen was frightened and looked away.
This scene immediately fell into Wen Kexin's eyes. For so many years, grandma had always been mean to their second branch.
No one thought about whether they were biological children.
Wen Kexin looked at Old Lady Wen, Wen Jianguo and the three boys beside her, and then looked at her father.
Wen Jianguo and Wen Hehua look somewhat similar to Old Lady Wen.
From the original owner's memory, we learned that the third uncle Wen Jianye looked very similar to the eldest uncle, both had square faces, while the father had a long and round face.
Also, their eyes are alike. My uncle, my aunt, and my third uncle all have my grandmother's triangular eyes, while my father has obvious almond-shaped eyes.
If her father hadn't said this in anger, she really wouldn't have thought of this.
Dad's unintentional words seemed to open a door. Could it be that Dad is not grandma's biological son?
So how did my father come to this family?
In the original owner's memory, when his grandfather was alive, he was very kind to his father and their second branch.
At this time, Wen Jiancheng continued to say, "Mom, since you don't like our second branch, then why don't we separate and live separately?"
Old Lady Wen was wondering how to turn the tide, and when she heard this, she immediately flew into a rage, cursing, "Second Brother, you are such a heartless bastard, you don't want to support me before I die... Everyone, listen, why doesn't this unfilial thing just get struck to death by lightning..."
This powerful attack immediately tipped the balance in everyone's mind.
In this day and age, with old people around, who dares to propose dividing the family?
Did Wen Jiancheng get kicked in the head by a donkey?
Wen Kexin originally thought that she could only talk about dividing the family property after this storm was over, but she didn't expect that another storm would come before another one was over.
She stood up and said loudly and cheerfully, "Grandma, my dad is also thinking about the family. You always say that our family is poor and can't afford the medical expenses for him and Ping An."
Old Mrs. Wen, who was cursing with foam at the mouth, looked over with strange dead fish eyes and asked, "What did you say?"
Everyone also looked at Wen Kexin with puzzled eyes.
Didn’t Wen Laoer’s legs get reattached?
What happened to Ping An?
