Mrs. Xu and Xu Qingqing really didn't expect that Wang Xiufen actually knew about this and said it in an understatement.
The rest of the people present were also stunned.
Everyone knew about Wen Qiulan's incident. The Xu family was also a "famous" family in the local area, but because Wen Yun didn't go out much, no one knew her.
Is Ji Huai marrying Wen Qiulan's daughter? That girl who got into a prestigious university? They really matched up. I heard that Wen Qiulan's daughter is beautiful and does well in studies.
Xu Qingqing choked on her words, but Mrs. Xu was not the one who always made trouble. She looked at Wen Yun and smiled openly, but her words contained sarcasm, "There is no notice for such a big thing as getting married. Wen Yun, what's wrong with you? It’s not quite right either.”
Especially after she made money, she could still pay tens of thousands a month without coming back or sending the money back, which made her extremely angry.
I thought that this little girl would definitely have to spend money to go to college, so I drove her away. I didn't expect that she would make so much money, but she was furious to death.
"Eat fruit, eat fruit." Wang Xiufen was not annoyed. She still smiled and greeted everyone to eat fruit. She was very good-tempered. Then she continued what Mrs. Xu said, "What's wrong with this? Her mother is no longer at your house. She lives there." It’s not good, everyone just ignores it. Wouldn’t it be more embarrassing to inform? That’s good too.”
Seeing that Wang Xiufen was bullying her, Mrs. Xu's tone became even more unpleasant, and she simply said bluntly, "At least our family has raised her for such a long time. She went directly to the husband's house, got married, and didn't even notify her. She just patted her butt and left. Zhenhe Her mother is no different, she was really born by Wen Qiulan!"
Wen Yun's expression changed after the words were spoken so harshly. Just when she was about to argue, Ji Huai patted her shoulder lightly and told her not to worry.
Wang Xiufen broke off the grapefruit and ate it, "You didn't care about her in the first place, and you won't care about her in the future. Everyone will be in peace with each other. It makes sense. After all, there is no blood relationship. If Wen Qiulan is gone, you have no obligation to care about her. If you can say it right. If it sounds so ugly, then I will have to say goodbye to you. Before Wen Qiulan left, did she also work? The money she earned was not much different from that of your Xu Zhuang, right? Your Xu Zhuang had two children, and Wen Qiulan only took care of them. How come one of you is raised by your family as a charity? I am not an orphan."
Wen Qiulan worked with Xu Zhuang on the construction site before. Everyone knew that she was not lazy and hardworking. The Xu family was not a kind person either. In addition to reorganizing the family, there were too many twists and turns.
Mrs. Xu's face was livid, and she said with a strange look on her face, "Yes, now she has been admitted to college, she is promising, and she is very capable."
"That's true, how sensible are you?" Wang Xiufen agreed and almost made Mrs. Xu angry.
Xu Qingqing couldn't stand this kind of anger. She was young and angry, and immediately said, "No matter what happens, she doesn't have to cut off contact with our family, right? Is she grateful? Has she come back once? She bought some for my grandparents. Something? Even if I have a dog, after having it for so long, it will still wag its tail!"
"Ouch." Wang Xiufen broke off two grapefruit segments and handed them to Ji Huai, "I see that our Xiaoyun is very grateful, which is great. If you, a little girl, were so sensible, you would have held the entrance banquet in the first place. Why don't you teach your family to do some personnel work? Who is admitted to a college within a few kilometers, holds dozens of banquets and receives gift money? It is clearly in the name of our Xiaoyun being admitted to a key university, but the money received is nothing Not giving it to her, kicking her out of the house, not going to college with any money, how can a grateful person do this?"
Just when Xu Qingqing was about to quibble, Wang Xiufen's face became sullen again, and she raised her voice and scolded her, "Don't say it's your family's business. It's okay to lie to your relatives and friends. Women who play well with Wen Qiulan are also invited. How shameless is this happening? I didn’t take it seriously at first. I just thought you thought you had lost money over the years and wanted to make a profit and then write it off. If you come to scold me, I will explain this to you. .”
"If you really have the ability to get admitted to a key university, your family will host a hundred tables, and every household will receive gift money. Everyone has to go even if they don't want to go, and they have to give the gift. This is something you earned based on your ability, and it is also the rule of the village. It It is not a favor gift for weddings or weddings, but should be used to support your college education."
As she said that, she looked at Xu Qingqing with sharp eyes and asked angrily, "Little girl, you have also read a lot of books. Let me ask, the children of Xu Zhong and Xu Chang's family have also been admitted to the second school this year, and they did not hold a banquet. Has your family sent the gift money back? As long as you are a little grateful and shameless, even if they don't hold a banquet, you still have to send the gift money back, right?"
Xu Qingqing saw Wang Xiufen smiling and easy-going. Where had she ever been criticized so severely? At that moment, his complexion turned green and white, and he couldn't hold back a word.
"You want to say that passing the exam will make everyone happy, and the gift money will be paid back. No one said anything, and you don't pay it back. Why don't you just use our Xiaoyun's name to cheat money? The money has been given to you to go to college, Abacus You played really well, now tell me about worldliness and gratitude. If you don't learn well at a young age, you keep talking nonsense." Wang Xiufen spoke forcefully and was ridiculed.
Several aunts and ladies in the yard were watching the excitement. What the Xu family did had been widely circulated before.
However, there are some college students who have majored in undergraduate studies, and there is also a custom in the village of holding banquets and receiving gift money, which is equivalent to collecting money in disguise for the other party to study. That is also their skill, but the nature is different now. The Xu family collects money in the name of Wen Yun and turns around. I didn't give them a penny and even kicked them out.
This breaking news is huge.
Xu Qingqing was angry and ashamed, and her whole body trembled. Finally, she and Mrs. Xu walked away in despair, completely humiliated.
Wang Xiufen has a loud voice, and people who work neatly are not stupid. While asking everyone to eat fruit, she also said, "What are you doing? I have seen this weird family from all over the country, and I still come to reason."
Ji Sanpo also agreed, "Yes, many of the families that host dozens of banquets for college entrance examinations are happy without accepting any gift money. His family is better off, but their dignity is gone now."
Wang Xiufen ate the apple and said with a serious expression, "This money that was obtained in an unknown way will definitely be spent in an undisclosed manner!"
Ji Huai broke off a grapefruit, handed it to Wen Yun, and added, "I met some classmates a few days ago. They are college classmates with Xu Qingqing. I heard that Qingqing seems to have stopped studying and owes tens of thousands in online loans. Come back from school."
"What did I say?" Wang Xiufen felt that she knew things like a god, "If you are not kind, you won't achieve anything great!"
Everyone expressed their agreement and began to turn to various gossips about the Xu family, sharing gossip, and things from previous generations were dug up.
Wen Yun took the grapefruit handed over by Ji Huai and looked down at it, the tip of her nose couldn't stop feeling sour.
The things she was once afraid of turned out to be nothing. There were people who would stand in front of her and protect her for no reason. A warm current flowed into her heart. She began to feel that she was not unlucky. She also had people who loved her and others. like.
Wang Xiufen chatted excitedly and gossiped, but did not comfort her, and did not take the matter seriously at all.
"What's the big deal? Grandma can win half the village's argument by herself." Ji Huai also said in her ear.
Wen Yun looked up at him, with tears in her eyes, and her pursed pink lips slightly curved.
After several aunts and uncles quickly spread the news, people in Xujia Village also knew about this matter. They originally felt that the Xu family was doing something unfair, but now they feel even more that what they did was not human affairs.
The person who could do this was unsatisfactory. When Wen Qiulan was here, she would still handle it. Now that she is gone, Xu Zhuang has no work to do for three days, and no one wants to hire him.
If your character is not up to standard, others will not want to contaminate it.
Xu Qingqing's online loan was also widely rumored. Seriously, who would marry such a girl? Old Mrs. Xu had been licking her face before and was introduced everywhere. Everyone felt lucky that they had not stepped into this muddy water.
The end of the month.
Ji Huai was going to celebrate Wen Yun's birthday. The date of birth on her ID card was not accurate. According to the old calendar, her birthday was on the 28th of this month.
In the past twenty-one years, she had never celebrated her birthday and never mentioned it. Only this year did he find out when her birthday was.
The cake was not ordered at a cake shop. Ji Huai went to a well-known local private cake shop to order it. The two-layered cake was white and pink, with pink chocolate made into a big bow and beautifully decorated. petal.
As soon as I opened it, I could already smell the fragrant buttery smell.
This cake shop is very popular, and you need to book it a week in advance. The two-story shop costs nearly 1,500 yuan, which is considered a very high price in the local area.
The cake room is equipped with a pink and white internet celebrity cake hat, which is also shiny.
The cake was placed on the table in the yard, Ji Huai was lighting the candles, and Wang Xiufen was putting her phone away, squinting at it, taking pictures of Wen Yun, and saying while taking pictures, "Like a princess, beautiful and beautiful." .”
After she finished speaking, she moved her phone to take a picture of the cake, saying, "Look at this beautiful cake, it should be delicious."
After taking the photo and talking, Lehehe sent it to her WeChat Moments to show it to her old sisters.
"Make a wish." Ji Huai gently rubbed Wen Yun's head and reminded him softly.
It was Wen Yun's first birthday, and she didn't know the process. She could only do what she learned on TV, hold her hands together, close her eyes and make a wish.
She hopes her grandma is healthy, that she and Ji Huai are well, and that he doesn't have to work so hard...
When she opened her eyes, Ji Huai said with a smile, "Blow out the candles."
Wen Yun leaned forward slightly, blew out the candle, raised her head, and blinked. Fortunately, she couldn't see it in the night. In fact, her eyes were very red and sour.
I want to cry.
She first cut a piece of cake for Wang Xiufen, and then cut another piece for Ji Huai. He held the paper plate in one hand and took the knife in the other, "I'll do it myself."
The cake is delicious, melts in your mouth, and the cream is sweet but not greasy. No wonder it’s so expensive and popular. You won’t get tired of it no matter how much you eat. It’s very fragrant.
Their family of three would definitely not be able to finish such a big cake, so Wang Xiufen thought about giving it to other people in the village who were close to her and sharing a few pieces with everyone.
It was late at night, and she went out happily.
Once she left, Wen Yun couldn't hide her emotions. She held her head high to prevent tears from falling, and the crystal tears were rolling in her eye sockets. Seeing Ji Huai tilting his head to look at her, she didn't hide it anymore. She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, crying and laughing, "Why are you so nice to me?" ?I was so moved that I cried."
"I love you." Ji Huai replied without any hesitation. He said it very matter-of-factly. After saying that, he put down the cake, hugged her into his arms, put his big hand on the back of her head and rubbed it.
Wen Yun couldn't bear it any longer, stretched out her arms and hugged his waist tightly, her tears falling like broken pearls, her shoulders twitching, sobbing, "No one has ever celebrated my birthday, so this is how birthdays are celebrated..."
"There's always a first time." He lowered his head and kissed the end of her hair lovingly, his voice tender.
Wen Yun's eyes were filled with tears. As soon as she raised her head, she met him with a soft smile. She closed her hand holding him and leaned into his arms. She was very attached to him. Ji Huai pecked her. Her lips were indulgent and doting, "If you want to eat cake, I can buy it for you often. It's not a big deal."
She began to feel guilty and buried her head in his chest again, saying in a low voice, "I'm afraid that I'm not good enough to you and not worthy of your kindness to me. I..."
Ji Huai chuckled softly, and his chest trembled, "Who cares about this with you? My wife is the best in the world, the most beautiful, the best, the gentlest and most lovable. The most important thing is that I love her the most."
Wen Yun raised her head and saw that he was looking down at her, his black eyes full of deep love, she raised her eyes and smiled slowly, her tone was mellow and gentle, "I just want to give you the best, no. What do I need you to do? I want to treat you with all my heart and soul. I just love you very much, the kind of love that doesn’t require my life, the kind of love that I risk my life for.”
"No reason."
She finally couldn't hold it back and burst into tears while holding him.
