Section 126
Seeing the third daughter-in-law standing there in a daze, Wei's mother poked her with her hand and said, "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you go?"
"Oh. Okay, mother. I'll go right away." Third Sister Wei walked quickly to Wei Xuan and said, "Little sister, you must be tired after holding the child for so long. Mother asked me to come and take Yuanlang over." When Third Sister Wei said this, she couldn't help but glance at Ge Huai several times.
Wei Xuan didn't notice anything was wrong with her. When she heard that she wanted to hold the child, she simply handed her son to her: "Then I'll trouble you to watch over me for a while, sister-in-law." She was indeed feeling a little hot and wanted to go to the back to find water to wash her face.
"It's okay." Mrs. Wei took the child and left, but her heart was very uneasy.
Because she worked in Beijing, she had a lot of dealings with the Jiang family. If she recognized the man just now correctly, he should be the son of her brother-in-law's aunt.
But how did he know those people from his hometown who claimed to be making movies in Shanghai?
That's right, Wei Sansao is now 100% sure that the man she saw driving to look for those Shanghai people in her hometown last time was Ge Huai. No wonder she felt that man was familiar before. It turned out that he was her brother-in-law's cousin. This made sense. She had only seen the man from a distance before, and felt that she had seen him somewhere before, but she didn't think much about it. It had been several years since she last saw Ge Huai, and she had no impression of him.
If she hadn't seen him walking with Jiang Che here today, Third Wife of Wei would definitely not have remembered his identity. After all, who could connect those people in Shanghai with Jiang Che's relatives? They were completely unrelated.
...
...
Mrs. Wei felt that there must be something strange about this. She did not forget what her husband had told her. He said those people were most likely scammers. Since those people were scammers, then her brother-in-law, the cousin who was involved with scammers, must not be a good person either. They might even be in the same group. She must find a chance to remind her younger sister later so that she can be mentally prepared. Otherwise, it would be bad if the truth came out and implicated her younger sister's family.
Wei Xuan didn't know that there was a shocking news waiting for her ahead. When she came out of the kitchen after washing her face, she met Jiang Che who came to look for her.
"What's the hurry?"
"Mom is feeling a little unwell. Take her to your office to sit for a while. It's too noisy here because there are too many people."
"? What's going on?" Wei Xuan asked as she followed him forward.
Jiang Che explained the whole story. It turned out to be the eldest sister-in-law again. She was upset when she saw Jiang Yuancheng bringing Wang Yan to this occasion today. Just now, they almost had a quarrel because of a few words disagreement at the dinner table. This made Jiang's mother angry.
After hearing this, Wei Xuan felt something was wrong. After all, today was Yuen Long's first birthday. Both the sister-in-law and the mother-in-law were people who cared a lot about their reputation, and they would not make a scene in public in front of so many people.
However, Wei Xuan did not have time to ask in detail, as she had already walked to the table where Jiang's mother and her friends were sitting. Fortunately, all the people sitting at their table were members of Jiang's family, so she did not make a fool of herself in front of outsiders.
Wei Xuan glanced towards her mother-in-law. She saw that Jiang's mother's face looked very bad, and even her lips were a little bloodless. It seemed that she was really feeling unwell.
Wei Xuan originally thought that this was just an excuse for her mother-in-law to avoid embarrassment. Seeing this was the case, she could only quickly help her mother-in-law up and walk outside with Jiang Che.
Jiang Da Ge and Jiang Yuancheng wanted to follow, but Jiang's father stopped them: "Sit down, your mother can just go and have a rest, let's celebrate Yuanlang's first birthday first."
Wei Xuan ignored them to avoid making other guests think too much. Jiang's mother tried her best to walk alone all the way until she entered Wei Xuan's office and there was no one else around. Then she collapsed weakly on her son.
Jiang Che immediately panicked and asked, "Mom, are you okay?"
Wei Xuan was also shocked, thinking that her mother-in-law would not be really angry, and quickly helped her lie down on the sofa.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Jiang's mother replied weakly. She was just angry and anxious, and the weather was too hot, so she probably had a heat stroke. "Pour me a glass of water."
Wei Xuan quickly poured a glass of water.
Jiang Che helped his mother sit up: "Mom, drink it quickly, it's not hot anymore."
"Yeah." After drinking a glass of water, Jiang's mother felt much better.
"The banquet is about to start. You guys should go back. I'll just rest here for a while."
Maybe she was really much better. Wei Xuan felt that Jiang's mother's face had become much rosier, at least she didn't look pale anymore.
After checking the time, Wei Xuan said to Jiang Che, "How about I stay here with Mom, and you go to the cafeteria to accompany the guests."
Before Jiang Che could say anything, Jiang's mother waved her hand and said, "You all go. Don't let my presence disrupt Yuen Long's one-year-old party. I know my own body. If I say it's okay, then it's okay."
Jiang Che glanced at his mother and confirmed that she was much better, so he said, "Okay, then you take a nap, we'll come see you after we're done."
"No, just take care of the guests."
Back in the cafeteria, the auspicious time had almost arrived. Jiang Che ordered the kitchen staff to start serving the dishes. Wei Xuan went to the Jiang family's table and talked to them.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Jiang's mother was fine.
After the matter at the Jiang family was resolved, Wei Xuan went to the Wei family's table again.
"Mom and Dad, it's okay in the room. It's not too hot, right?"
"It's not hot, not hot," Wei's mother pulled her daughter over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with your mother-in-law?" Unlike the others who were chatting and didn't notice what happened at the Jiang family, Wei's mother's eyes were always on her daughter Wei Xuan. Of course, she also saw the scene where Wei Xuan and Jiang Che helped Jiang's mother out. Seeing that the banquet had already started, but the mother-in-law was absent, this was definitely not normal, so she came to her daughter to inquire.
Wei Xuan saw her mother's eyes looking like she wanted to hear gossip, so she said helplessly, "Let's talk about it later."
Knowing that her daughter was busy today, Wei's mother did not continue to ask: "Okay, then you go and do your work first. I'll leave the child here to help you look after him."
"Thank you, Mom."
Wei Xuan was indeed very busy. When Jiang Yuanlang held his 100th day celebration, most of the guests were Jiang Che's friends. Today, she invited no fewer guests than Jiang Che. As a result, Wei Sansao couldn't even find time to talk to her.
Finally, when the Wei family was about to leave, Wei Xuan was still busy seeing them off. There was no other way, Wei Sansao had to put the matter aside for the time being and talk about it the next time she saw Wei Xuan.
After sending all the guests away, Jiang's father's face darkened. He said to Wei Xuan and Jiang Che, "I know you are very tired today, but what I am going to talk about later is not a trivial matter. Come home with me."
Wei Xuan glanced at Jiang Che, and Jiang Che said, "Dad, you guys take Mom back first. I have something else to do here. I'll be there when I'm done."
"OK."
Mother Wei was not feeling well, so she definitely couldn't be allowed to walk back. Fortunately, Jiang Che specially reserved a truck and asked the driver to take them back to the Jiang family.
Seeing this, Wei Xuan muttered to herself that it was time to buy a car as it was too inconvenient to transport people in a truck.
But now is not the time to talk about this. After seeing off the Jiang family, the two hurried back to the cafeteria to pay the chef and staff their salaries.
"Just clean this place up and you can go home from get off work."
The cafeteria was not open today, so Wei Xuan and Jiang Che reserved it for the day. After finishing everything, Jiang Che took Wei Xuan and his son to Jiang's house on his bicycle. As for Yuanyuan, she had already gone there with Jiang's family.
On the way, Wei Xuan asked Jiang Che: "I think Dad seems very angry, what's going on?" If it was just because Jiang's sister-in-law said something unpleasant, mother-in-law wouldn't be so angry. Last time at Jiang's house, Jiang's sister-in-law's words were already unpleasant, but mother-in-law didn't react as strongly as she did today.
"Ah," Jiang Che sighed, "I don't know the details. I just heard my sister-in-law mention whether or not to have children."
"Child?" Wei Xuan couldn't understand what this had to do with the child.
Seeing that his wife didn't understand, Jiang Che explained: "It seems that Jiang Yuancheng's girlfriend had a child before."
Wei Xuan took a deep breath. This... no wonder. No wonder her sister-in-law couldn't help but make a scene in an occasion like today, and no wonder her mother-in-law was so angry.
I'm afraid it's not just because of my sister-in-law, but more because I care about this matter.
No matter how open-minded she is, she probably wouldn't want a granddaughter-in-law who already has children. In the mother-in-law's mind, her own children are undoubtedly excellent. She can accept a girl from a poor background, but it may be a bit difficult for her to accept a woman who has children as her granddaughter-in-law.
This is not to say that I look down on them or anything. In addition to feelings, there are many other things to consider when two people get married. It is not easy to support each other until the end, and there is also a child in between...
Oh, it’s really too difficult. If life is compared to playing a game, this is equivalent to upgrading the version and directly adjusting it to the most difficult mode. Who can be happy about this?
Who doesn't want their children to live a smooth life? But if they are with a woman who is remarried or pregnant before marriage, it is destined that there may be many unnecessary troubles in their future life.
Of course, this doesn't mean that they will definitely live a bad life after marriage, or that Jiang Yuancheng will definitely live a good life if he changes his marriage partner, but that's what elders are like. They always want to eliminate all bad factors for their children, even if it means being blamed.
Wei Xuan thought about the problem from her own perspective. If Jiang Yuanlang fell in love with a woman with a child in the future, would she agree with them?
To be honest, she didn't know. There are some things that you can't empathize with unless they happen to you. Now she can generously say that she doesn't care. What era is it now? There are still such old-fashioned ideas.
But the reality is that there are a lot of people who care. She has no way to convince others, and she is not in a position to speak for anyone. She can only look at the person involved.
If two people have really thought it through and are determined to be together, then no one can separate them.
She also believed that if Jiang Yuancheng was really determined to be with Wang Yan, no one in Jiang's family would do anything to harass a girl.
At most, Mrs. Jiang would have a few quarrels with Jiang Yuancheng, but if they were really interested in each other, this difficulty should be tolerable!
When they arrived at Jiang's house, Wei Xuan glanced at the living room. Wang Yan was not there, and Jiang's wife not only did not look unhappy, but instead had a hint of happiness on her face. It seemed that this matter was almost certain.
Mrs. Jiang must know that as long as this matter is exposed, her parents-in-law will definitely stand on her side. She must be secretly happy now.
Wei Xuan glanced at her son, said something to Jiang Che, and then carried him to her mother-in-law's room.
After she coaxed the child to sleep, she returned to the living room and sat next to Jiang Che.
Then Jiang's father said, "Our whole family is here today. Yuancheng, tell me if what your mother said is true?"
