The rain outside finally stopped. Wen Liang felt uncomfortable because his pants were sticking to his body, so he left Xu Yao alone to look after Ji Su while he went home to change his clothes. As soon as he went downstairs and turned the corner, he passed by a beautiful woman with a graceful but haggard face. Her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Ji Su's, with thin eyebrows like the moon and light eyes like silk. He could faintly smell the mellow fragrance of women.

Could it be Ji Su’s mother? But she looks very young!

Wen Liang went there without stopping. When he got home, he found Ding Mei, who should have been at work, curled up on the sofa watching TV. This was a rare situation. Ding Mei was very responsible for her work. Normally, she would never ask for leave if there was nothing to do at home. Wen Liang was startled and thought something had happened. He hurried over and asked, "Mom, why are you home at this time?"

Ding Mei said angrily, "Where else can you go if you're not at home? Are you still at the factory watching that bastard Wei Gang?"

Wen Liang immediately understood that Wei Gang's revenge was coming, and it was natural for him to start by picking on Ding Mei's work. Knowing this, Wen Liang smiled and said, "Why, did Wei Gang give you a hard time?"

Wen Huaiming told Ding Mei about the conflict on the opening day of the soy milk shop, but Wen Liang kept it a secret. He had already offended Wei Gang, so it was useless to tell him and make Ding Mei worry. Ding Mei grabbed Wen Liang's ears and scolded him, "How can you still laugh? You heartless little guy, wait until your mother loses her job, and you'll be left with nothing!"

Wen Liang cried out in agony, and the sound was so miserable that it made anyone who heard it cry. Ding Mei couldn't stand his noise, so she let go of his hand and rubbed him at the same time: "Alright, alright, I didn't use any strength, why are you crying like a ghost? Ha, you are useless!"

Seeing Ding Mei smile, Wen Liang stopped yelling, sat down next to her and said, "Come on, tell me what evil trick Wei Gang used. If it's really evil, I'll help you scold him."

Ding Mei laughed and said, "Good son, you are the only one who is of the same mind as your mother. I just called Wen Huaiming and he even told me not to cause trouble recently and to just endure it. Is this something that can be endured? It's obvious that Wei Gang, that shameless guy, is looking for trouble with me. Your father is just incapable..."

After scolding Wei Gang, Ding Mei started to criticize Wen Huaiming. He talked a lot but still didn't explain what happened today. Wen Liang was not in a hurry. He sat beside him and listened with a smile, occasionally agreeing with him and even refilling the cup with water. Ding Mei was very happy to see this and kept saying that it was not in vain that she had loved her son for more than ten years.

When I was young, I was always ignorant. I blamed my father for being strict and my mother for being nagging. I was rebellious and stubborn. I thought that resisting the constraints of the family was the way to freedom. When I grew up, I realized that all this was just the most ignorant fantasy of the ignorant era. The strict father also had love buried deep in his heart, and the nagging mother's every word was a tearful admonition. If I live again, how can I have the slightest impatience

"Well, from what you said, this Wei Gang is guilty of a heinous crime. He deserves to be shot ten times. Let's report him!"

Ding Mei glared and scolded, "Report it! If I report him, will I still be working at the farm machinery factory? If I don't work at the farm machinery factory, how can I save money to marry you a wife?"

Well, just now I was still focusing on the issue of food and clothing, worried that Wen Liang would starve to death. Perhaps because I saw that this would not attract my son's attention, I immediately skipped several levels and elevated the issue to a lifelong event.

Wen Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, don't worry, let's deal with Wei Gang first, and then we can talk about this..."

After talking to Ding Mei till the end, she still couldn't find out what happened to Wei Gang today. But it was no big deal in the factory. Wei Gang must have deliberately picked a few small problems at work and used them as an excuse to scold Ding Mei. Ding Mei was a face-conscious person and had good relationships in the agricultural machinery factory. Zhang Changqing was always polite when talking to her. How could he take advantage of Wei Gang? Needless to say, he definitely scolded Wei Gang to death. I guess that grandson is still squatting there vomiting blood.

"Mom, don't worry about the job. Wei Gang will be gone in less than a month. Dad has a reason to ask you to be patient. The city has been in turmoil recently. Wait a few days, your son will help you vent your anger!"

Ding Mei was not a bad person. She knew her husband was in a bad situation in the city, so she naturally would not really cause trouble for him. After hearing what Wen Liang said, she slapped her thigh and said fiercely: "When will these days of being timid and cowardly end?"

It’s almost there, very soon!

Wen Liang's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and the vicissitudes of life and immaturity blended perfectly on the boy's face. Yes, it won't be long before the sky in Qingzhou will change color.

"How come you are so dirty? By the way, shouldn't you be in class now, you little brat? How dare you skip class and learn bad things..."

"Ah, don't hit me... Mom, even if you are upset, just wait for me to calm you down..."

After changing clothes and taking a shower, Wen Liang looked at the clock and saw that it was almost four o'clock. He called Zuo Yuxi and went directly to her house in Diyuan Garden. Zuo Yuxi was wearing simple pink printed plaid pajamas, watching TV boredly on the sofa at home. When Wen Liang came in, there was a hint of surprise on his face. This is also a lonely person. Wen Liang smiled and said, "I thought that after what happened last time, I would never be able to step into this house again."

A bunch of purple grapes flew over from a distance. Wen Liang shook his body and caught the grapes with his mouth. Zuo Yuxi stretched out her waist lazily, rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, and had a half-smile on her lips: "What, do you want to see it again?"

Given their current relationship, such a joke is harmless.

"No, no," Wen Liang said with a wry smile, changing his shoes, and sitting on the sofa opposite her. He said nonchalantly, "I saw Xu Fuyan on the 11th."

Zuo Yuxi became interested. She held up her face with one hand and lay on the sofa on her side, with one leg straight and the other slightly bent. She looked graceful and charming.

Wen Liang talked about what happened that day and concluded, "You also know that the struggle between Xu Fuyan and Zhou Yuanting's faction has reached the point where they are incompatible. What we are concerned about is his determination and courage. Does he intend to fight to the death with the other party? But from what I saw that day, Xu Fuyan is decisive, fierce, and insidious. He should be a good ally."

Zuo Yuxi was about to speak, but Wen Liang interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "Regardless of whether Xu Fuyan's camp is consistent with your father's, we have a personal grudge against Zhou Yuanting. Even if we are enemies, we can temporarily form an alliance when there is a common threat. Xu Fuyan is undoubtedly the best candidate. Besides..."

"Besides, Wen Huaiming is appreciated by Xu Fuyan, and you and Xu Yao are very good friends. We also have a way to build a bridge with him, right?"

Seeing Zuo Yuxi's teasing expression when she mentioned Xu Yao, Wen Liang didn't want to care how Zuo MM knew all this. After all, she had only met Xu Yao once at school and they didn't even have a conversation.

He smiled and clapped his hands: "Not bad! This young man is teachable!"

This time, a pillow flew over. Wen Liang hugged it and continued, "But if we want Xu Fuyan to know our sincerity, relying on these two relationships alone is far from enough. We can't tell him directly, Brother Xu, we don't like Zhou Yuanting, so we came here to help you punish him, right? So, the first thing we have to do is to fully express our sincerity!"

Zuo Yuxi really took it seriously now, turned over and sat up, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Wen Liang chuckled and said, "It's a big deal. If it goes well, Qingzhou will be transformed..." (To be continued)
