Chapter 273 Is there anything I can do to help the girl?
"Mom, what do you think I'm doing?"
It would have been better if Zhang Cuilan didn't say anything. As soon as she was born, Wen Chenshi became even more unhappy. "Three children crawled out of your intestines, and you still can't breastfeed them? Xi Bao is so young, and you let her walk on the ground. You deliberately want to tire her out."
Zhang Cuilan was stunned by the scolding. She looked at Wen Xibao in front of her and retorted, "Mom, how did I tire my sister-in-law? Just now you were saying that Xibao could stand and praised her for being amazing. Why do you say now that I want to tire her to death?"
Mrs. Wen Chen was just taking advantage of the situation. Seeing that Zhang Cuilan dared to talk back, she pointed at her and cursed, "You lazy bitch with a sharp tongue. You can't get by without making me angry all day long. Are you trying to piss me off to death so that you can be the head of the household? I tell you, no way. When the second child passes the exam to become a scholar, I will let the first child divorce..."
blah blah blah!
This time, the empty cigarette pot slammed heavily on the edge of the kang. "You are almost fifty years old, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Wen Dacheng turned his head and looked at Wen Chen, but because he turned his head lightly, he did not completely take her into consideration.
The room finally quieted down. Wen Dacheng's eyes swept across Zhang Cuilan and finally stopped at Wang Xiaoyun. He did not name anyone, but everyone in the room knew that he was talking to Wang Xiaoyun.
"Your sister-in-law has never taken care of a baby girl. You know how to take care of a baby girl after you gave birth to Mai Ya. You can take care of her for the next few days."
Wang Xiaoyun smiled at Wen Dacheng, walked over and took Xi Bao from her sister-in-law's arms, holding her in her arms so that she wouldn't touch the ground.
Zhang Cuilan let her take Wen Xibao, and rolled her eyes smugly. Did she really think she was willing to take care of the child? Now she had some free time.
It would be best if Wen Xibao was never handed over to her again, Zhang Cuilan thought to herself.
The room finally became quiet. Wen Dacheng wanted to take a puff, but when he raised the cigarette holder to his lips, he found that there was no tobacco left in it, so he had to put it down.
He looked at Wen Youcai and spoke slowly, "Second brother, your eldest brother is right. Our family is waiting for you to bring honor to the family. You have been studying in Zhenshan for these years, and you can't help with the housework. Your mother and I can still work now, but we don't know how long we can support you. You have to work hard this time."
Wen Youcai glanced at Wen Dacheng, restrained his expression, and replied respectfully, "I know, Dad. I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"Well. Are you going back to town today?" Wen Dacheng asked.
"Well, I have the materials ready. I have to go back today and review the homework assigned by the teacher before the exam."
"Do you want Mai Yaniang to come with you on that day? She can take care of you there." Wen Dacheng asked.
After hearing what his father said, Wen Youcai turned to look at his wife, and seeing that she was also looking at him, Wen Youcai retracted his gaze and looked at Wen Dacheng, "No need, there are a lot of things to do at home, I can go by myself."
On the other side, Wang Xiaoyun looked at her man and pursed her lips, but said nothing.
"Well, if you don't need it, then don't go."
Wen Dacheng just looked at Wen Chenshi from the side, but now he looked directly at her while saying, "Give him the money. He must be a spendthrift when he goes out."
When Mrs. Wen Chen heard that she wanted to take money again, she felt relieved when she thought that it was for the second son.
Without getting off the kang, he took out a key from his pocket, unlocked the kang cabinet, stretched out his arm and felt around inside, and took out a cloth bag.
He opened the cloth bag with his back to everyone, and found another small cloth bag inside the cloth bag. There were about a hundred copper coins in the small cloth bag. There was also a tattered purse among the pile of copper coins, and there were two taels of silver in the purse.
Wen Chen thought for a while, counted out thirty copper coins, and reluctantly took out one or two taels of silver from her purse.
After locking the kang cabinet again, he waved to Wen Youcai and said, "You should save this money."
Wen Youcai took the money, curled his lips and said, "I know, mother. I will definitely not let you and father down."
I have said what I should say and I have taken the money I should take.
"It's getting late. Let's go back to the house and pack up the things we need. Everyone else, follow me to the fields." Wen Dacheng said as he got down from the edge of the kang.
When she heard that she had to go to the fields, Zhang Cuilan felt bad. She wanted to take care of the child...
Everyone, big and small, went to the fields, even Mai Ya was not spared.
Only Wen Chen, who lived in the upper room, and Wang Xiaoyun, who was responsible for taking care of the children and cooking, were at home.
Wang Xiaoyun returned to the west room and put Xibao on the kang. She turned around and was about to say something when she saw Wen Youcai picking up the cloth bag on the kang and was about to leave.
Wang Xiaoyun's eyes were sore, and he looked at his figure and said anxiously, "Youcai, you didn't even open your eyes to look at me when you came back this time."
Wen Youcai's smile suddenly disappeared, his whole face became full of dark clouds, he raised his head and lowered his voice to yell at her, "Didn't you listen to what Dad and Big Brother said this morning? Big Brother hopes that I can pass the exam, and Dad also said that if I don't pass the exam, the family will consider whether to support me to study. Even my mother who loves me the most didn't speak up for me at this time. Do you know how heavy the burden on your shoulders is? Are you still having an affair with my children? Put away your lustful thoughts."
Wang Xiaoyun was frightened by his ferocious figure. She didn't dare to raise her hand to wipe the saliva sprayed on her face. She said in a frightened tone, "No, I didn't."
Wen Youcai narrowed his triangular eyes and snorted coldly, "You'd better not. If I can pass the exam this time, everything will be fine. If I fail, you can just wait to farm with me to repay your parents' kindness."
Only after Wen Youcai left home did Wang Xiaoyun wipe his blurry vision.
......
Outside the village, Amber was even more excited than Feng Zhijin when she saw the village in front of her. "Miss, I just heard that this is Niutoushan Village. Let's go into the village and ask people."
Feng Zhijin looked at the village in the front yard through the car curtain opened by Amber, and it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.
"Well, let's go into the village and ask the people we meet when we get in."
"Hey, okay miss."
Amber said something to the coachman, and the carriage turned onto the road leading into the village.
On the other hand, Wen Youcai came out of the village with a bamboo basket on his back and an expressionless face. He narrowed his eyes at the carriage coming from the opposite direction. How could such a luxurious carriage come to their village?
Who in the village are you looking for? But I haven't heard of any relatives who have a carriage.
Just when Wen Youcai was puzzled, he suddenly saw a carriage stop in front of him. Then the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a little maid in a green dress longer than her waist and a purse hanging on her waist walked out of the carriage with her back bent over.
Then he jumped off the carriage, took a step closer to Wen Youcai, and said with a smile, "Big brother, we would like to ask if this is Niutoushan Village? Is there a woman named Gu Qingqing in the village?"
At this moment, Wen Youcai didn't hear what the other party said at all, because his eyes were completely dazzled by the figure that flashed by in the car.
Although he only had a quick glance, and although the other person was wearing a face veil, the phrase "unparalleled beauty in the world, astounding to the world" was not enough to describe the scene he had just seen.
The not-so-fair face quickly turned red, a smile appeared on the originally expressionless face, and his eyes seemed to want to penetrate the obstructing curtain so that he could feast his eyes once again.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Amber was about to ask again when she suddenly saw the man bowing towards the carriage and said, "I am honored to be here. May I ask how I can help you?"
