Wen Xinya discussed matters related to the health care brand with Yan Shaoqing at Lanxin Cosmetics Company. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when she returned to the Wen family.
But she ran into Wang Ma at the door. Wang Ma was carrying a lot of bags and looked very tired. "Wang Ma, isn't it Manager Yu who is in charge of the household purchases? It's already afternoon. Why are you still out shopping?"
Wang Ma said with a tired look on her face: "My stepmother has a poor appetite and can't eat anything. Let me go to the market to buy some fresh vegetables and fruits to change her appetite."
Mother Wang looked a little unhappy. It had been a week since the stepmother returned to the Wen family. Because of her poor appetite, she often complained that the food she cooked was not to her liking. The fire in the kitchen was always on. She wanted to drink fruit tea, eat snacks, drink soup, and eat some fruit that was not available at home...
More than seven meals a day.
Whenever she was unhappy, she would cry to the old lady and the master. The old lady valued the child in her belly and would not dare to be careless at all, and the master treated her like a treasure.
All the servants in the house were tormented by her. A few days ago, because Zhou Ma put a little more sugar in the milk custard she made, she was scolded by the master. Later, the old lady was alarmed and she actually drove Zhou Ma out of the Wen family.
Poor Zhou Ma’s family situation. If she lost this job, no one knows how the Zhou family would survive.
Now everyone in the Wen family is afraid of her and dares not offend her.
"Auntie Wang, you are carrying so many things in your hands. Let me help you get some." Wen Xinya reached out to take the plastic bag from her hand. Although Ning Shuqian's face was a little pale, her eyes were bright. She didn't look like she was suffering from morning sickness. She was just trying to find ways to torment the servants in the house in order to establish her authority.
Ning Shuqian was indeed powerful. When she failed to use her to establish her authority in the Wen family, she used the old lady and Wen Haowen as her tokens and found ways to make trouble for the servants.
Mother Wang quickly shook her head: "No, no, I can still take these things."
Wen Xinya took the plastic bag without hesitation and said, "Mother Wang, why are you being so polite to me?"
Wen Xinya knew that since she returned to the Wen family, Aunt Wang had been very helpful to her. Not to mention anything else... In everyone's eyes, she was a little girl who had been wandering on the streets for fifteen years. Even if her grandfather recognized her, there was still the old lady who hated her. The servants in the old house were used to looking at their master's face, so how could they serve her so wholeheartedly? Because she knew in her previous life that Aunt Wang had actually been helping her.
It was thanks to Mother Wang that she was able to establish her authority and gain a firm foothold in the Wen family.
Mother Wang was very grateful and walked towards the living room with Wen Xinya.
As soon as I reached the door of the living room, I heard Ning Shuqian crying to the old lady about how Mother Wang was spoiled and arrogant.
Wen Xinya's face turned cold, with a piercing chill flashing in her eyes, and a hint of icy sharpness. Ning Shuqian moved back to the Wen family's old house, but she came prepared.
The first step was to take the opportunity to establish his authority in the Wen family. His previous plot against her failed, so he later targeted the old servant, Zhou Ma.
The second step is to eliminate dissidents and drive Mother Wang out of the Wen family, leaving her isolated and helpless in the Wen family.
Mrs. Wang's face turned gloomy in an instant, and she was about to rush into the living room, but Wen Xinya reached out her other hand, held her back, and shook her head at her silently.
There was a pale and dejected look on Wang Ma's old face. Her mind was full of thoughts about what happened when Zhou Ma was kicked out of the Wen family. Although the old man found out about it later and said a few words to the old lady, he did not say anything about inviting Zhou Ma back.
In fact, she knew that the old man also had his eyes on the baby in Ning Shuqian's belly, and he used Zhou Ma's killing a chicken to scare the monkeys to remind everyone in the Wen family not to neglect Ning Shuqian.
She had been in the Wen family for so many years, and had served the master of the Wen family wholeheartedly, but she never thought that she would end up like this when she was old. She suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
Wen Xinya looked at the plastic bags in Wang Ma's hand and asked in surprise, "Hey, Wang Ma, are you going to make Anhui cuisine tonight? Grandpa loves your Anhui cuisine the most."
Mother Wang reacted in an instant, quickly calmed down, and replied: "Grandpa's appetite has not been very good recently, so I want to make a few of his favorite Anhui dishes, maybe his appetite will improve."
The old man loves the Anhui cuisine she cooks the most. When talking about the old man, the old lady will think more and will not be led by Ning Shuqian.
Wen Xinya looked through the plastic bag again and said, "These fruits look very fresh. They are rare in this season. You must have gone to many markets to buy them, Wang Ma!"
Mother Wang heard Qin Zhiya and deliberately said, "My stepmother is pregnant and has a poor appetite. These past few days I have been thinking about making some food that suits her appetite. Today I suddenly thought of a kind of fruit soup in my hometown that is very nutritious and appetizing, so I went to a few markets to buy some fruit."
Old Mrs. Wen and Ning Shuqian looked towards the door and saw Aunt Wang carrying large and small bags. Even Wen Xinya helped carry a bag. The two of them walked into the living room, talking and laughing.
The rest of Ning Shuqian's words were stuck in her throat. She looked at Wen Xinya in astonishment, with a tear on her eyelashes. Her plans were ruined by Wen Xinya's few words.
Mrs. Wen's anger disappeared without a trace. Aunt Wang was the old servant in the family. She knew the old man's appetite best and was very good at cooking Anhui cuisine that the old man praised endlessly. The old man did have a poor appetite these days, but Aunt Wang did not expect to notice it.
She thought again of when Mo Yunyao was pregnant. She had a harder time than Ning Shuqian. She vomited everything she ate and could not tolerate any oily food. She only managed to get through it by eating the fruit soup made by Wang's mother. The fruit soup was very complicated to make. She had tasted it and it was indeed delicious. She had not expected Wang's mother to be so attentive.
Then she thought again, Aunt Zhou had left the Wen family, and now Aunt Wang not only had to serve her and the old man, but also had to take care of Ning Shuqian, a pregnant woman. It was inevitable that she was a little inconsiderate, but it was understandable.
Thinking of this, he said, "The fruit soup made by Wang Ma tastes great and is very nutritious. Yun Yao had a bad pregnancy back then, and she survived by eating fruit soup."
"No... I didn't expect Aunt Wang to be so thoughtful." She would never think of kicking Aunt Wang out of the Wen family again, because... the old man really loved Aunt Wang's Anhui cuisine. The old lady and Wen Haowen were on the same page, but she always considered the old man, and would not do anything to Aunt Wang even for the old man.
Mrs. Wen smiled and patted her hands, saying, "With Wang Ma's fruit soup, you will definitely be able to have a healthy baby, and have children for the Wen family in the future."
When Mo Yunyao was pregnant, her pregnancy was a hundred times more difficult than Ning Shuqian's. Since she was able to give birth to a safe and healthy child with the help of Wang Ma's fruit soup, Ning Shuqian could naturally do it as well.
Listening to the old lady's praise for Wang Ma, her head heated up and she felt like she was trying to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice. Her cold eyes instantly shot towards Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya met Ning Shuqian's gaze with an icy sharpness in her eyes.
Mother Wang looked at the eldest daughter with gratitude. When she heard Ning Shuqian complaining to the old lady, she felt disheartened for a moment, and her heart was chilled. Fortunately, the eldest daughter was quick-witted and used this method to resolve her crisis.
