Chapter 039: Too Thick-skinned
Wen Kexin looked at Old Lady Wen's distorted face and honestly, you are asking for trouble!
"How do you want to be done with me, grandma?"
Then, she looked at everyone and explained with a smile: "You don't know yet, right? All this grass was picked by my father last fall. After he kicked my family out yesterday, my grandmother wanted to exchange the thatched grass for us for 1 cent per bundle. What old person would do such a thing?"
Everyone looked at Old Lady Wen in disbelief. Is this how she treats her son? Could it be an enemy?
Wen Kexin felt everyone's expressions and continued, "Grandma, you said the child's transaction is invalid, but you have to give us back the things you exchanged for it, right?"
Everyone nodded, "That's right, whether it's White Rabbit candy or glass balls, they didn't fall from the sky."
When Wen Kexin went to Hechazi just now, Song Mo and others had almost finished thatching the house, and there were still more than a dozen bundles of thatch left on the ground.
She was gambling, and she ate up all the White Rabbit milk candies she won by betting on the second and third jackpots.
Even if all the glass balls were taken away, the remaining thatch would be enough to cover the gap.
At this time, Old Mrs. Wen stretched out her wrinkled and dry hands, with only five glass balls in her palms.
It turned out that Erzhu and Sanzhu only took out these glass balls to play with, and hid the rest.
Before leaving, Old Mrs. Wen hurriedly picked up a few glass balls on the ground.
Wen Kexin almost burst out laughing when she saw the five glass beads. She said confidently, "Everyone saw that. My grandma wanted to break the contract, so she brought five glass beads. I can only return two and a half bundles of straw to my grandma. Don't you agree?"
Everyone answered in unison: "That's right!"
Old Mrs. Wen was almost mad at herself, and she insisted unreasonably, "I don't want thatched roofs, I want money! Give me five yuan right now."
"Listen everyone, my grandma wants to break the contract. She can't give me the things she got back in exchange. She just wants five yuan for these few glass beads. Is she still a human being when she makes such unreasonable demands?"
Aunt Zhao looked at Old Lady Wen with contempt and said sarcastically, "Ke Xin, don't pay attention to her. She is so shameless, even worse than a dog!"
"That's right! A dog knows how to protect its own cubs. It kicked out its nearly crippled son and charged him five yuan for a few bundles of grass. A man of several decades has lived his life in vain, obsessed with money."
When Old Mrs. Wen heard everyone's discussions, her face turned red and white.
Zhang Guihua also felt her face burning.
Wen Erzhu and Wen Sanzhu noticed that grandma and mother were in a daze, so they slipped away when they were not paying attention.
At this moment, Wen Kexin brought two and a half bundles of thatch straw, threw them in front of old lady Wen, quickly grabbed the five glass balls and said, "Grandma, I exchanged these thatch straws for five glass balls. Now I'm returning them to you. It's fair and reasonable. As for exchanging them for money, don't dream about it. Our house is thatched now. Goodbye!"
Only then did Old Mrs. Wen realize that the roofs of these adobe houses were indeed thatched, and she secretly hated herself for not noticing it just now because of her old eyesight.
Now he was tricked by a dead girl, in public, and he felt like he was slapped in the face.
Even though she was thick-skinned enough, she still felt her face burning.
Her eyes were blazing with anger as she roared, "You little bastard, I paid twenty yuan for the second son's surgery, that was He Hua's dowry, now I'm asking my son for five yuan for his retirement, what's wrong with that?"
Wen Kexin secretly gave the old lady a thumbs up. When she failed to break the contract, she took the moral high ground and acted like a rogue.
How dare you mention that twenty yuan!
Originally, there was nothing wrong with a mother asking her son for five yuan.
But given the second house's current situation, asking for money would be making things worse.
Wen Jiancheng and his wife in the yard came behind their daughter and were about to say something.
Wen Kexin turned around and shook her head at her parents, then said loudly to everyone, "Since grandma isn't afraid of the things going on at home being exposed, then let's speak out and let everyone judge for themselves."
Of course everyone knows that the Wen family has been making a lot of jokes recently. Some people understand what is going on; some people have no idea at all.
Regardless of whether it was clear or not, they all looked at us with sparkling eyes and made a noise.
"Daya, tell me quickly..."
"What's going on?"
Wen Kexin complained in her heart: The old guy is standing on the moral high ground to ask for money. This trick can be said to be very effective. I can only play the victim.
She briefly told him about the substitute marriage, and then mentioned that her father would have to have a steel plate removed from his leg next year, and that her younger brother was suffering from long-term malnutrition.
"It wasn't our decision to split the family, but my grandmother insisted on splitting the family. We were kicked out just like that, and the team leader couldn't stand it, so he decided that we don't have to pay pension for the next three years."
With tears in her eyes, she continued to play the victim. "It's not even two days since the separation, and my grandma is here to ask for five yuan for pension? My husband paid for a few bundles of straw to fix the leaky house, and grandma still targeted him and wanted five yuan. How can we survive... wuwu..."'
The last time she said "my husband", she felt her face getting hot. Now, although it is a bit awkward to say "my man" casually, she found it more natural.
A few pink bubbles suddenly appeared in my heart.
What the hell is this?
She subconsciously turned around and looked at the handsome man on the roof.
Meeting the other person's deep gaze.
Suddenly I realized that the other person's eyes were full of concern.
Everyone understood the whole story, and it was like a spark thrown into a pile of gunpowder, which quickly caused an explosive effect.
Everyone immediately started talking.
"I thought it was Second Wen who wanted to split up the family, but it turns out that the old man kicked his son and his family out."
"You're so shameless to come and ask for money after you've kicked me out."
"That's right. It's obvious that he doesn't want his son to live. He even wants five yuan for a few bundles of straw for thatching."
When Old Mrs. Wen heard everyone's discussions, the glorious image of the head of the village that she had established for many years was completely destroyed.
It felt like my face was kicked into the mud, and there were countless feet stepping on it.
I wish I could hide my face in my crotch.
Angry and furious, he saw stars and staggered back.
I want to go as far as possible.
Wen Kexin saw two and a half bundles of straw on the ground and shouted in a furious tone, "Grandma, how could you forget about these straws? They can only be exchanged for five yuan. We will not be responsible if they are lost."
Old Mrs. Wen, who was walking forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, staggered and almost fell when she heard this.
Zhang Guihua, who was standing beside him, supported him and said, "Mom, are you okay?"
Old Madam Wen glared at her eldest daughter-in-law and cursed, "You useless bastard, you watched me being bullied... You little bitch, you pissed me off..."
The crowd who were watching the fun saw that the troublemakers had left and left while talking about what was going on.
Soon, the shameful deeds done by Old Lady Wen spread throughout the village. Everyone sympathized with Old Man Wen's family and saw through the character of the Wen family.
Besides, Wen Kexin saw that everyone had left, so she went to the kitchen to help her mother cook.
Song Mo and a few others finished the finishing work on the roof and came down from the roof one after another.
Of course he saw Mrs. Wen bringing people to make trouble, and he kept paying attention to the situation. When he found that his young wife had the upper hand, he did not come over to help.
If anyone dared to attack his young wife, he would immediately jump down from the roof to help.
Seeing his young wife cleaning the table, he walked over to her and whispered apologetically: "Ke Xin, we were arguing just now and I didn't help..."
Wen Kexin rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's better not to help, so that people won't talk about it."
