Wen Ze reached out and flicked her forehead. "You've grown into a big girl now. You talk about love all the time and you're not afraid of what others say."
Wenwen covered her aching forehead and said, "Third brother, don't try to change the subject."
Wen Ze was helpless. "How do you know I like Comrade Tang? I never thought of that. Don't talk nonsense."
Don’t like it? Her face was red like a little wife just now. “If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it. If you don’t seize the opportunity now, you will cry later.”
Wen Ze glared at Wen Wen. Tang Tian and Lu Zhao were walking towards them. It would be very embarrassing if his sister's nonsense was heard.
"You're as timid as a mouse. You should learn more from big brother." Wenwen muttered softly.
"Grandpa, I understand." Tang Tian saw the Wen brother and sister standing outside the courtyard gate.
Looking at the polite Wen Ze, Lu Zhao really wished he could become his grandson-in-law. "You should spend more time with the Wen brothers and sisters. They are well-mannered and have a lot to learn from them."
Tang Tian nodded without a doubt, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'm usually with the Vice Dean."
Lu Zhao...Forget it, let it be!
Wenwen saw the two of them and said, "Grandpa Lu, it's time for dinner."
Tang Tian walked up to Wenwen and said, "Vice President, my grandfather and his family will be returning to Beijing tomorrow."
Wenwen was surprised. "Are you in such a hurry? Why don't you stay for a few more days?"
Lu Zhao shook his head. "I'm sorry to have disturbed you and your family these past two days. I have work to do in Beijing. I'll come back later."
"Work is important, so I won't force you to stay. You should come to see Comrade Tang often in the future." Wenwen said as she stepped inside.
Tang Tian quietly pulled at the corner of her clothes, indicating that she had something to say to her.
Wen Ze invited Lu Zhao in, and the two chatted enthusiastically about some topic.
Tang Tian pinched the corner of her clothes, not knowing how to start.
Wenwen saw her hesitant look and asked, "Comrade Tang, what's the problem?"
Tang Tian had a desperate expression on her face, "Vice President, I'd like to ask if I can build a house in Lijiawan?"
Seeing Wenwen frowning, she hurriedly said, "Renting is fine. I know it's hard to force someone..."
"Why do you want to build a house? Are you not used to living in the staff dormitory?" Is it because she doesn't get along well with her colleagues? I haven't heard her mention this before, and the living environment in the staff dormitory is pretty good.
Tang Tian shook her head. "The staff dormitory is very nice. I want to bring my mother to Lijiawan to live for a while."
Wenwen heard something and asked, "Is your mother not doing well in Beijing?"
"My aunt has always been at odds with my mother. She's unhappy that my mother filed for divorce and thinks it's embarrassing for her. She often comes to my house and says some harsh things to my mother. My mother is alone at home with no one to accompany her. I'm afraid she'll get sick if she stays depressed for too long. I want to bring her here to give her some peace of mind."
Her uncle mentioned this to her yesterday, but her mother never talked about it. Every time they called, she just said everything was fine and asked her to focus on her work and not to worry.
Wenwen pondered in silence. According to previous investigations, Mr. Tang’s eldest daughter was a sarcastic and mean person who liked to compare herself with others.
Tang Tian's parents' divorce has become a hot topic of conversation among the upper class in Beijing. It would be strange if Aunt Tang, who is very concerned about her reputation, was not angry.
"The new house in Lijiawan has not been built yet, and there is no house for rent. Besides, even if there is a house for rent, can your mother get used to living in an old house in the countryside?" Wenwen said bluntly. After all, she is a noble lady in Beijing and may not be able to adapt to life in the countryside.
"I think my mother will like Lijiawan. Are there any newly built houses for rent? I want my mother to live more comfortably." A good living environment can make people happy, and she wants to make her mother happier.
Wenwen shook her head. "What's being built is the residential area for the villagers. The rental housing isn't there, and the rental housing will be built last."
Only about 100 residential houses have been built for the villagers, with more than half still to be started. Seeing the finished products, the villagers are even more excited, hoping to move into their new houses before the Spring Festival.
Tang Tian was a little disappointed. She was still thinking that if she had a place to live, she would have gone back to Beijing with her grandfather and brought her mother to Lijiawan.
"Is that so? There's nothing I can do about it. I'll bring my mom over when I find a house to rent." Having said that, she couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes.
Wenwen felt a little bit sorry, but there was nothing she could do. The staff dormitory had three or four employees in one room, and family members were not allowed to live in the staff dormitory.
Wenwen patted her hand and said, "We can only talk about it later. Have you asked your mother if she is willing to come?"
Tang Tian shook her head. "No, but I know her. My mother is not a pretentious young lady. She will come."
Wenwen didn't comment. "We'll bring people over after the new house is built. Come on, it's time for dinner. My mom said she wants to add a few more dishes today."
The next day, the Lu family father and son left Lijiawan.
Wenwen saw Tang Tian was listless and asked, "Why? Are you reluctant to leave your grandpa and the others?"
Tang Tian shook her head. "No, I just can't understand it. From childhood to adulthood, the only thing that has left a deep impression on me is my aunt's sarcasm towards my mother. Aren't we a family? Besides, my father was the one who did the wrong thing, and my mother is also a victim."
Wenwen saw that he was no longer as cheerful as before, "Your mother is both a victim and an accomplice."
Tang Tian looked at her in surprise, not understanding why she said that?
Wenwen said bluntly, "Isn't it your mother who indulges them? Knowing that your father is having affairs outside, why does she tolerate it? If your mother had shown even a little bit of the arrogance of a young lady from a noble family before her marriage, your aunt wouldn't be so presumptuous."
Tang Tian looked at her in a daze.
"You must have your own bottom line in life and work. If you don't care about it, others will only trample on it more severely. Your mother has already divorced and left the Tang family, why did she let the eldest aunt of the Tang family bully her without resisting?"
Wenwen saw Tang Tian looking at her silently, "What would you do if you were your mother?"
Tang Tian suddenly chuckled, "If it were me, I would slap her hard a few times and tell her to get out, or I would sue her for trespassing."
It was Wenwen's turn to stare at her in a daze. This reversal caught her off guard.
Tang Tian waved her fist and said, "To be honest, I dream of beating up my dad and my aunt."
She leaned closer to Wenwen. "I remember when I was ten, my aunt sarcastically said my mother couldn't give birth to a son and called me a money-loser. The next day, I caught a bunch of caterpillars and put them in her bed. I had intended to catch snakes, but I couldn't find any."
Wenwen was stunned. Why was she pretending to be sad just now? "What happened next?"
Tang Tian shrugged, "Of course I got beaten up."
"But later I learned my lesson and stopped doing it so obviously." Tang Tian smiled proudly.
Wenwen hooked her finger and said, "Tell me more about it and see how thoughtful you are."
"I've learned a lesson every time I've suffered a loss. One time, my aunt cursed me so harshly and even wanted to hit me, so I used my annual pocket money to have someone throw her into a cesspool." If you have a bad mouth, just wash it in the cesspool.
Wenwen gave her a thumbs up.
