Chapter 026 Your son-in-law is good
The captain could tell that Mrs. Wen was making excuses.
Just about to say something.
Song Mo suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "Forget about the house, but does the Wen family have no food?"
Mrs. Wen immediately started to perform with snot and tears, "Captain, we don't have much food at home, and how can so many people survive? Oh, there are some sprouted potatoes in the vegetable cellar, you can give a basket to the second room."
Although sprouted potatoes cannot be eaten, during this period of lean season, as long as the sprouts are cut off and the roots are removed, it will not affect their consumption.
Because they are poor, everyone in the village does this.
The captain looked at everyone in the second room and asked, "Jiancheng, what do you think?"
Wen Jiancheng felt aggrieved in his heart, but his mind was calm and he kept his daughter's words in mind.
"Captain, since my mother gave me a basket of sprouted potatoes, we won't have to pay for her pension in the future."
When Old Lady Wen heard this, she jumped up and cursed again, "You beast, why didn't you give me pension after the family division? I would have strangled you to death if I had known you were born."
Everyone around was amused. The mother didn't give anything as part of the family property, but she was still thinking about the pension money. Mrs. Wen was so shameless!
Neighbor Aunt Zhao blurted out, "Mrs. Wen, the second wife doesn't even know how to survive, how can she provide for you in your old age?"
Everyone nearby chimed in: “That’s right!”
"Is it too unfair to divide the family like this?"
Song Mo added fuel to the fire, "Are they mother and son? I think they are just like enemies!"
The team leader waved his hand to calm the crowd, and when the noisy voices died down, he said, "Jiancheng, let me tell you how to do this. You can just split up the family and not have to pay pensions for the first three years. After three years, you can pay pensions according to the village's standards."
"this……"
Wen Jiancheng glanced at his eldest daughter and found that she nodded slightly to him, and was about to agree.
Old Mrs. Wen was furious, and she continued to curse, "I don't agree! If you don't provide for me in my old age, I will sue you for being unfilial and make you sit under the fence..."
The captain glared at her fiercely and said, "Mrs. Wen, are you done yet? If you keep making trouble like this, you should break off the engagement to avoid any entanglement in the future. I don't have time to help you settle the lawsuit."
Of course Wen Kexin wanted to break off the engagement, so she took the opportunity to applaud.
"The captain is right. We agree to break off the relationship. We don't want the basket of sprouted potatoes anymore. We are willing to leave the house empty-handed."
A basket of sprouted potatoes to break up a marriage, where can you find such a good thing?
Old Mrs. Wen said with a sullen face: "I don't agree!"
The captain knew that Mrs. Wen didn't want to let go, so he said that on purpose.
Song Mo, of course, understood the captain's thoughts and said with a dark face, "If you don't want to break up the relationship, you have a retirement home and a son by your side, then you don't have to pay for retirement within three years."
Wen Kexin certainly understood that it was not right to break off the engagement now.
With tears in her eyes, she said pitifully, "Grandma, in the next few years, we not only have to continue the surgery for my father, but also take care of my younger brother. If you still want pension money, will you let us live?"
Everyone looked at the second branch of the Wen family with sympathy, and sighed when they saw how thin and pitiful the children looked.
Aunt Zhao said angrily, "Mrs. Wen, do you want to drive these children to death?"
This is so powerful!
Wen Kexin secretly gave Aunt Zhao a thumbs up and vowed to find an opportunity to repay her in the future.
The captain looked at Song Mo, Wen Kexin and everyone else with admiration. These people must have seen through his intention.
He quickly used his trump card, "Mrs. Wen, if you don't agree, I won't be in charge of your division of the family."
After saying this, he pretended to leave.
Old Madam Wen rolled her eyes a few times, looked at Wen Jiancheng fiercely and said, "You beast, just die! I agree."
The captain sighed in his heart, is Mrs. Wen still a mother? Not even as good as a stranger.
Wen Kexin was worried that the old man would go back on his word, so she said, "Captain, I don't trust grandma, should we sign a written agreement?"
The captain was also afraid that Mrs. Wen would go back on her word and make things difficult for the second wife, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"
The document was quickly signed, which not only stated that the family would live their own lives in the future, but also that no pension money would be paid within three years.
Wang Qiaolian took a few people into the house and simply packed up the things in the second room. Then they walked out of the Wen family yard carrying bags and a basket of sprouted potatoes.
The captain also walked out of the Wen family yard.
After seeing everyone leave, Old Lady Wen quickly locked the door.
The captain, Song Mo, and everyone from the second branch of the Wen family looked back and understood what Old Lady Wen meant. She was afraid that they would go back and take advantage of her.
What a mean person!
Thinking of the fact that her family still had no place to live, Wen Kexin asked tentatively: "Captain, is there any vacant house in the brigade? We can rent it or buy it."
"There are two. I'll take you to see them."
Wen Jiancheng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said gratefully: "Thank you, Captain!"
The team leader sympathized with the honest and simple Wen Jiancheng and said sympathetically: "Why are you being so polite? You can borrow some food from the team later and settle down first."
Wen Kexin was just about to mention borrowing food, but when she heard this, she gratefully gave the other party a good guy card in her heart.
The captain is a good person!
Song Mo pushed Wen Jiancheng, and everyone in the Wen family carried bags and baskets, and soon arrived in front of a house.
The team leader opened the door and said, "Jiancheng, this is the house of Uncle Zhang, a five-guarantee household. All the Zhang family members have died out. You can take a look first. If you don't mind, you can live here. By the way, there is a windlass well in the yard. It should be usable after it is cleaned. When you have money in the future, you can rent or buy it."
Wen Jiancheng and others all knew about this house. Although it was a mud house, a lot of stones were used in the foundation and wall base.
There was a well in the yard, and the windlass and the rope on it were rotten and broken.
This adobe house has been vacant for more than a year, and it still looks pretty sturdy.
It’s just that the thatch on the roof has never been replaced, and it looks like most of it has rotted, so it will definitely leak when it rains.
They walked in and found the house was okay, the yard was not small, and the vegetable garden was overgrown with weeds.
When I walked into the house, I found that there were several leaks on the roof and there was a musty smell in the house.
There were a few pieces of worn-out furniture in the room, which could be used after a simple cleaning.
Wen Jiancheng nodded and said, "Captain, we will live here first. Thank you!"
"Okay, who will go with me to the brigade to borrow food?"
Song Mo took the initiative to say: "I'll go!"
He looked at Wen Kexin and the others, and told them worriedly, "Clean up the house first, and wait for me to come back for the hard work."
The captain looked at Song Mo, who stood straight, and praised him, "Jiancheng, your son-in-law is good, he is a sensible man."
Everything that happened in the past two days was thanks to Song Mo.
Wen Jiancheng knew what was going on, and couldn't help but praise him, "Yes, this child is kind and righteous. Not only is our family blessed, but Ke Xin will also have someone to rely on for the rest of her life."
Wen Kexin said shyly: "Dad..."
