It's not right to say touching, after all, there was no direct contact through the clothes.
But Wei Cheyu found that his first reaction was not disgust, but the idea that she had finally taken the initiative to touch him. Before he had time to think about why he had this idea in the first place, Wei Cheyu was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Wei Zhenzhen, who was in front of him, quickly hugged Mrs. Wei's arm to prevent the other party from hitting her. Then, she didn't know when her nose and tears started flowing, and she wiped it on the other party's clothes without hesitation. As dirty as you want, as disgusting as you want.
"Let me go! Get out of my way!" Mrs. Wei waved her hands in disgust, but she couldn't get rid of Wei Zhenzhen.
"Grandma, grandma, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't drive me away, don't hit me, it hurts!" Wei Zhenzhen's loud shout shocked the neighbors out and also shocked the passing villagers in.
"what happened?"
"Ah? Mrs. Wei, why are you here?"
"Is this child Zhen Zhen injured?"
…
…
The earthen wall was very low, and the villagers could see what was going on inside the wall when they poked their heads in. They were surprised to see Mrs. Wei inside.
What happened three months ago was still fresh in their minds. Since then, the news that the Wei family and Wei Sangen's family had no contact has spread privately throughout the village.
"This is my son's home, why can't I come?" Mrs. Wei said confidently, "Also, we are dealing with family affairs now, and outsiders are not allowed to look at it."
"What kind of housework is there?! You just came here to ask us to help you with the autumn harvest and farm work." The two children were so helpful, and Wei's mother felt that she had to do the same, "We don't have time to help, but you insist on putting down everything we have. to help with the matter.”
"So what? I am Sangen's biological mother. If I need your help, isn't it natural for you to go and help? Don't think that you can ignore me as your biological mother after we separate!"
"We have never failed to pay the filial piety that we should pay every month. Why don't we care about you? It's just that we can't do what you asked for this time. The father of the child has to hunt to support the family. The child is still small and I have to take care of them at home. How can I have time to help you?" After finishing speaking, Mother Wei Zhuangruo said casually, "I know that the crops will be harvested this year, but the land at home and the whole family's labor force must be enough to help, so why do we still need help from our family? Is it possible that the eldest brother-in-law and the whole family are here to help? Didn’t my brother-in-law go to the ground?”
The answer is yes. Only Wei Ergen and Wei Sangen have always worked in the fields in the Wei family. The others are like the young masters and ladies of the landlord family who never touch the sun and never do hard work. Therefore, Wei's mother asked knowingly.
Mrs. Wei's face turned pale and green, then green and white again. Even though everyone knew that her eldest son and fourth son never worked in the fields, as long as she didn't say it outright, she acted as if they also worked in the fields to help. Her two sons were not lazy men.
But the third daughter-in-law named her by name, and she couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to. But she was asked to admit in public that her eldest son and fourth son did not go to the fields to help, but she asked her separated son to come back to help in the fields. What was that like?
Mrs. Wei is not afraid of criticism from others, but she is afraid that it will affect the reputation of her eldest son and fourth son. The eldest son still has to take the imperial examination, and the younger son has not yet married a wife.
Old Mrs. Wei gritted her teeth and said, "Why not? But you also know that Dagen has to study and can't work all day long. Sigen has something to do, so the family does not have enough labor force."
"We also have things to be busy with," Mother Wei sneered, "The child's father has to hunt to earn money to support the family. After all, we didn't get any land when the family was separated. We can only hope to earn income from hunting, or mother, you will be kind enough to share some. Give us land or food? So that the child’s father doesn’t have to work so hard to hunt?”
This is of course impossible.
Mrs. Wei stiffened her face and did not respond.
Some of the villagers who were leaning against the earthen wall to watch the excitement jokingly said, "Yes, Mrs. Wei, Sangen is your son after all, so it's appropriate to give him some land. You can't let people stop hunting." Help your family, what will they eat after that? Will you give them food?"
Old Mrs. Wei reprimanded, "This is our family matter, why are you interrupting!?"
"Oh, yes, yes, I am too talkative," the man was not angry, but said playfully with a smile, "Anyway, you are the elder, you can do whatever you want, and you, the son, can only suffer."
The words sounded like they were on Mrs. Wei's side, but the tone was full of sarcasm.
Old Mrs. Wei did not feel that she had done too much, "Am I wrong? I was merciful when I disobeyed my elders and was separated instead of being kicked out of the clan. Such an unfilial son has no right to divide things."
Wei's mother was almost furious with Mrs. Wei's words. At this moment, she still didn't forget the black child's father. How could she have such a partial and cruel mother? It was obvious that they had gone too far, but they still slandered her family.
Seeing that Mother Wei seemed to be planning to start a fight with Mrs. Wei, Wei Cheyu took Mother Wei's arm and stopped her with a weak look, "It's Yuko's fault. If it weren't for me, my parents wouldn't have fallen out with my grandmother. "
He coughed a few times, looked at Old Mrs. Wei with admiration, and said, "Grandma, please don't blame my parents. They did this for me. In fact, my parents shouldn't have cared about me back then and let me fend for myself." That’s good, so my parents won’t be kicked out of the house by grandma.”
These words put Mrs. Wei in a dilemma. It was neither a denial nor a denial. Should she admit that she was a grandmother who was so cruel to her grandson?
The purpose of Wei Cheyu's words was not to make Mrs. Wei fall into unpleasant public opinion. It would be useless no matter how bad Mrs. Wei's reputation was. The person involved did not care about the unpleasant words of others and it would not have any impact.
What Wei Cheyu wants is to drag Wei Dagen into the water, and Wei Dagen, whom Old Mrs. Wei cares about most, will be pulled into the water. In this way, Old Mrs. Wei will avoid trouble and will not cause trouble for their family for the time being. In fact, if he reveals his talent for reading early or can If he is admitted to Tongsheng as soon as possible, there is no need to adopt such a method of evading scruples. He can just ask the clan to help suppress Mrs. Wei, but now he has not exposed any interests that can drive the clan to help.
Wei Cheyu was given the impression in the village that he was frail and sickly, but well-behaved and sensible, and was gentle and polite to others. Therefore, the villagers had a very good impression of him and thought he was a good boy.
Seeing him cowering in the autumn wind, leaning obediently next to Mother Wei, the onlookers felt more and more that Mrs. Wei was really too cruel, and that such an obedient grandson was disgusted and even wanted to give up.
Wei Cheyu wanted to take advantage of this atmosphere to say something unfavorable to Wei Dagen. Even if the next words were not in line with his usual image, he might arouse others' suspicion, but he didn't care.
He couldn't watch his mother suffer.
However, before he could speak, Wei Zhenzhen suddenly interjected, "Brother Yuzi, how could it be your fault? All along, your parents have taken care of you based on their own abilities and did not ask your grandmother to help, so they did not cause any harm to them. Troubled, I don’t understand why my grandmother had a falling out with my parents because of you, Brother Yuko.”
Wei Cheyu felt that this voice sounded more beautiful to him than ever before, and the timing and content of the intervention were perfect.
There was a cooperative expression on his face, as if he couldn't bear to face the facts, and he stopped with a trembling voice, "Stop talking."
Wei Zhenzhen continued to look innocent and asked herself, "Is it because my parents used all the money they earned to treat your health, Brother Yuzi, so my grandmother and the others are dissatisfied?"
Yes, yes, this is a fact that everyone in the village knows, and this thought flashed through everyone's mind.
"But why are you dissatisfied? It's not like my father and mother didn't hand over the money to my grandmother and the others, and my father and mother handed over the most money, so why are we dissatisfied?"
Wei Zhenzhen shouldn't actually know these things, because these things happened before she was bought back by Wei's father and Wei's mother, but now no one has the intention to ask how she knew, but listened to her continue to wonder, "And the uncle is not Tongsheng? Why doesn't he come forward to seek justice? It is clear that the parents did nothing wrong, but they were accused of forcing the family to separate. In the future, won't the uncle want to pass the exam to be an official? I heard that officials must be kind, benevolent, and impartial. Only in this way can we benefit the people, but can such an uncle really take the exam? He didn't even stop his parents' affairs."
At this point, she suddenly asked in horror, "Does uncle think this is right?"
Where did my parents find the talent?
Wei Cheyu sighed deeply in his heart.
These words not only made my grandmother afraid to exploit and slander their family even if she was angry, but also put my uncle in an unkind and unjust place.
A good person knows how to cooperate, but a good person knows how to make every effort.
If possible, Wei Cheyu really wanted to give Wei Zhenzhen a thumbs up.
Talent...
