Wei Yin's first love in the United States came quickly. With her outstanding appearance, outstanding school, and outstanding etiquette and conversation, Wei Yin had a lot of suitors even though she was far away from her hometown overseas.
Just as Chen Xuan said, who wouldn't like a girl like Wei Yin
Wei Yin is already in her twenties. If she were in Beijing, according to Mrs. Wei, she would have to ask a matchmaker to arrange a marriage. However, Mrs. Wei always follows the local customs. Since she could communicate in foreign languages naturally, she often visited her neighbor Mrs. White's house and accepted the American custom of free love. There were many people pursuing her daughter in Beijing. Now that her daughter has reached the age of marriage, Mrs. Wei has always been concerned about Wei Yin's marriage. She was very happy to know that someone was pursuing Wei Yin. She also taught Wei Yin some experience in private, "Don't be too picky. When judging people, the main thing is to look at their character. As long as the young man has good character and knows how to make money, it's fine. Don't be too picky about appearance. Good looks can't make a living. Just choose like your father."
Wei Yin almost laughed out loud, Wei Yin said, "My father is good-looking."
"Don't mention it, it's true." Mrs. Wei thought of the old man who died early, and she missed him and liked him. Mrs. Wei said, "When your father went to my mother's house, the young girls and wives in the village stretched their necks to look at him. And the dead girl next door to us, the matchmaker first introduced your father to her, she thought your father was a son adopted by someone else, and he had no foundation, so she was not happy. Later, I chose him, and when your father went to my mother's house to propose, she took a look at your father, oh, she couldn't take her eyes off at that time. Whenever your father came to my mother's house to see me, she would find a reason to go over to him, you can't tell how annoying it is. It was only after I scared her a few words that she dared not go."
Old Mrs. Wei loved to tell stories. Wei Yin followed her mother's words and asked, "Mom, how did you scare them?"
Old Mrs. Wei said, "This is not easy. Her marriage has not been decided yet. I told you that if you dare to come to my house to see my man again, I will let the whole village know. She was scared when she heard it. If her reputation is ruined, she will never be able to marry into a good family in the future." Old Mrs. Wei's eyes showed pride. She was very proud of her wisdom when she was young.
Wei Yin asked, "Mom, how did you choose my dad?"
"Anyone with good eyes can fall in love with someone after just one meeting. Who wouldn't want your father? Even the idiot next door to my mother's side didn't go on a blind date with your father. She was not happy when she heard people say that he was someone's adopted son. How can one be so careless about such an important event in life? I only met your father once and I fell in love with him at first sight." Old lady Wei has her own views on life. Old lady Wei said, "In my opinion, such a woman doesn't need to pursue a career outside. The problem with your eldest sister is that your brother-in-law can't make a living, so he's too shameful. As for you, you can just find a good man. A man will earn money for you, and the money he earns will naturally be given to you. After you get married, have more children at home and educate them to be promising. In the future, your son will earn money, and you'll have someone to rely on when you're old. You'll live a comfortable life." This was how the old lady lived her life.
Wei Yin smiled, "Then I want to have a good life like you, mom."
"It's true that it's not easy to meet a good man like your father." Old Mrs. Wei asked her daughter's current boyfriend, "I think that Xiao Xue is not bad."
The little Xue that Old Lady Wei mentioned is Xue Wei, the man Wei Yin is pursuing now. Xue Wei studied architecture at MIT. When Wei Nian bought the apartment and was planning to rent it out, he asked Xue Wei to do the interior design. They were both Chinese in Boston, so they got to know each other. But there was one thing Old Lady Wei said, "He's just a good kid. I heard that he went to a good university, but why did he spend so much money to study bricklaying abroad?" She felt that Xue Wei's major was not very good, and it would be better for him to do business.
Wei Yin said, "Architects are different from bricklayers."
"I know. It is said that these foreign bricklayers are of high status. After they have learned how to do it, they are equivalent to the foreman of the house-building team in our hometown."
Wei Yin wanted to laugh when she thought of her mother's comments on architects.
According to Professor Cui (whom he met on the boat), Xue Wei was also from a famous family in Jiangnan. In fact, there were probably many intermarriages among these families in Jiangnan. Professor Cui, Qin Shu, and Xue Wei were all from Jiangnan families, so they were somehow related. As far as Qin Shu knew, the Xue family was a well-off family. Because it was related to Wei Yin's lifelong event, Qin Shu even sent a telegram home, asking her mother to help inquire about the Xue family.
The information Mrs. Qin got was also good. It was indeed a wealthy family. Moreover, Xue Wei was the only legitimate son in the family. Although he had several illegitimate sisters, he was the only male heir of the family.
In fact, considering the Xue family's background, if it were not for the free atmosphere abroad, if Wei Yin had not gone abroad to study, some people would probably say that the Wei family and the Xue family were not a good match.
Compared to Xue Wei, Wei Nian prefers another suitor of Wei Yin, Stephen. Stephen is Wei Nian's classmate. His father is British and his mother is Chinese. Stephen is an illegitimate child. He grew up with his mother since he was a child. After his mother passed away, he went to the UK to find his biological father. The British pay attention to the reputation of bloodline, and mixed-race children like Stephen are extremely discriminated against. Stephen is lucky that his biological father is not bad. After he was admitted to a top university, he gave him one thousand pounds as tuition and living expenses for his studies in the United States, and asked him to sign an agreement to give up inheritance. Stephen used the money to buy a nice farm near Boston, and the rest of the money was invested in real estate. He was a client of Wei Nian's part-time real estate agency. Wei Nian took great pains to choose a house for Stephen, and gradually became familiar with him.
Stephen had black eyes and blue eyes, and was extremely handsome. He spoke Chinese fluently and knew how to buy small gifts to please Mrs. Wei. Although Mrs. Wei thought Stephen's eyes looked a little strange, she never refused small gifts.
Wei Nian thought that Stephen was at least a man with a certain financial sense, and that a fortune of one thousand pounds was not high, but it was definitely not low either. Of course, the Xue family was said to be a family of scholars, and Xue Wei himself was also outstanding in his studies and was well-informed. However, in Wei Nian's opinion, Xue Wei always lacked something.
Of course, Xue Wei also has his advantages. Old Mrs. Wei hopes that her little girl can marry an authentic Chinese man.
Wei Yin also felt that he had a better cultural understanding with Xue Wei. Of course, Stephen was handsome and humorous, and besides being three years younger than Wei, he was also a good marriage partner.
When Wei Nian talked about this with Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan was also worried. Chen Xuan said, "They are both very good. Xue Wei is gentle and polite, and Stephen is handsome and sunny. They are both good."
Yes, both are good.
Especially Xue Weiyin studied abroad, and also learned to cook authentic Chinese dishes. He also knows how to clean the garden and has a good aesthetic sense, which is what a gentle gentleman should be like. Wei Yin finally chose Xue Wei. Xue's parents are both in China. Especially now that the two parties are united in the fight against Japan, since the fall of Nanjing and the withdrawal of the National Government to Chongqing, Chinese people who want to go abroad have to take flights from various places, which is very inconvenient. So, the two held a simple small wedding in the church under the witness of friends, teachers and Wei's family.
Old lady Wei did not mistreat this little girl at all. Wei Yin was the youngest child, and also a daughter. Although old lady Wei always loved her eldest daughter Wei Jin who resembled her, she also liked this little daughter who looked and behaved more like her husband from the bottom of her heart. Otherwise, in Beijing over the years, when Wei Yin was fifteen or sixteen years old, someone had been talking to her about her in-laws. Wei Yin said she didn't like them, and old lady Wei would just nag a few words at most, but never force her. If it were in other families, there would be no such thing. When you reach a certain age, you have to get married. Old lady Wei took the five hundred dollars dowry that the old man had left for her daughter. Of course, it had long been exchanged for US dollars in the bank. Not only did old lady Wei give all the money to Wei Yin, she also subsidized Wei Yin privately and supported Wei Yin and Xue Wei to buy a villa near their home.
Although it was not difficult to buy a villa for Wei Yin, Xue Wei's feelings had to be considered. Men valued their self-esteem, especially Chinese men. If they were to live in a woman's house, it would inevitably be seen as marrying into the woman's family. Wei Nian was always careful and suggested this to Wei Yin.
The marriage was very happy. Although Wei Yin was pregnant in her junior year, because the two families lived very close, Wei Yin and Xue Wei did not have to go home for meals. They could just come to Wei's house for meals. After Wei Yin became pregnant, Xue Wei was also very careful. Wei Yin's actions were similar to Chen Xuan's when she gave birth to Xiaoluobo. They asked for leave from school when the due date was approaching, and asked for confinement leave after giving birth. After the confinement, they continued to study without delaying their studies. As for the care of the child, there was old lady Wei. Old lady Wei took Xiaoluobo and her eldest sister to help take care of the child. Because Xiaoluobo had learned to walk, Wei Yin was worried that old lady Wei and her eldest sister could not take care of it, so she specially hired a nanny with an excellent reputation to help at home.
Old Mrs. Wei often thought, "Oh, my family has become a wealthy family, and now they have to employ maids and servants." Yes, although Old Mrs. Wei can speak foreign languages fluently now, her thinking is not foreign, and many times she still has the same ideas from the countryside.
Wei Yin was a person who knew what was going on. Chen Xuan's childbirth was entirely up to fate. She and Wei Nian loved each other very much and would give birth as soon as they could. As a result, Chen Xuan gave birth every five years, as if it had been measured by God. Wei Yin planned her childbirth. She felt that her second sister-in-law had a good cycle, and when her eldest son was five years old and could go to kindergarten and was a little more sensible, she was ready to give birth to a second child. Wei Yin hoped for a girl for her second child, so after she became pregnant, she often went to church to pray, hoping that the gods would bless her with a daughter this time.
Xue Wei also hopes to have a daughter. In Xue Wei's words, "It's good to have both a son and a daughter."
In Chen Xuan’s words, people are the hardest to see through and understand.
This is true for women and men alike.
Xue Wei and Wei Yin had a son and a daughter. The son was named Xue Huai and the daughter was named Xue Jia. When Xue Jia was three years old, Xue's father and mother came to Boston with their property. Chen Xuan said that if Xue Wei had no father and no mother, Xue Wei and Wei Yin would be a loving couple. Both of them have a small career. Although Wei Yin is not a big fashion designer, the clothing store she opened with Qin Shu is doing very well and is ready to open a branch. In addition to the clothing business, Wei Yin has other investments. Xue Wei's decoration company has a stable business and is already well-known in Boston.
Wei Yin and Xue Wei's house is about the same size as the Wei family's, so when Xue's father and mother came over, they didn't move to a bigger house.
The Wei family started out as a humble family, but they actually had many contacts with scholarly families. For example, Mr. Wen was definitely from a scholarly family. Mr. Rong was also from a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. Professor Cui and Qin Shu were also from scholarly families in the south of the Yangtze River. They were relatives of the Xue family. The Xue family was quite normal to the outside world, but for some reason, Xue's mother just didn't like Wei Yin. She first thought that it was not decent for Wei Yin to do business outside and show up in public, so she insisted that Wei Yin close the store and stay at home to take care of the children and serve her parents-in-law.
Chen Xuan said that this is also a mental illness! It is the old-fashioned style of Mrs. Wei. When the family was still in Beijing, Chen Xuan and Wei Yin were managing the business outside. Although Mrs. Wei was not happy at first and felt that it was not good for women to do business outside, but later the atmosphere became more open, and the two of them did a legitimate business and made a lot of money, so Mrs. Wei had nothing else to say. Now Wei Yin's business is doing very well, and Mrs. Wei didn't say anything, but Xue's mother was unhappy first. Qin Shu went to persuade Xue's mother several times, but this is a matter between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Qin Shu said it once or twice, but if he said it too much, it would not be good for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship between Xue's mother and Wei Yin, and it would seem like an outsider interfering.
Fortunately, Xue Wei persuaded his mother.
As a result, Xue's mother pointed at Xue Jia and said something. Originally, when Xue Huai and Xue Jia were young, they were actually raised by Old Lady Wei. After Xue Huai went to school, Xue Jia was also taken care of by Old Lady Wei. Now Xue's mother wants to take care of her granddaughter, and Old Lady Wei can't stop her, so she has to let Xue's mother take care of her. Fortunately, Old Lady Wei also has her own granddaughter. Chen Xuan's third child is also a daughter. To be honest, this daughter's appearance is very magical. She doesn't look like her father, mother, or Old Lady Wei. The little girl was born with a look that makes her father in awe. This little girl looks like her grandmother. Oh my God, since seeing the appearance of the second daughter, Wei Nian didn't give the second daughter a nickname, but directly gave her a full name, Wei Hong. As soon as he saw the appearance of his daughter, Wei Nian determined that his daughter would have a bright future.
So, if Xue's mother wanted a granddaughter, Mrs. Wei could just return her to Xue's mother, and she still had little friend Wei Hong to take care of.
However, Mrs. Wei was very dissatisfied with Xue's mother's behavior. She complained to Wei Yin at home. She said, "It's not that I said something unpleasant. The two sisters grew up together and played together all day long. The mother-in-law always restrained Jia Jie and didn't call her out. I took Hong Jie over and heard Jia Jie crying and wanted to come out, but the mother-in-law didn't say anything to comfort her. Our two houses are only a few steps away, and this is not a foreign place. I heard her scolding Jia Jie in the yard. If I hadn't gone there, I don't know how long she would have scolded her. Jia Jie is just a child, what does she know? She scolded the child like this."
How could Wei Yin not be angry
The matter of the child was not a big deal. What really annoyed Wei Yin was that Xue's mother actually arranged for a 17 or 18-year-old girl from her friend's family to intern at Xue Wei's company.
I don’t know if it’s because we’ve been married for too long, but the passion of being in love has faded away and turned into the trivialities of three meals a day, food, clothing, housing and transportation.
When this happened, neither Chen Xuan nor Wei Nian knew about it. They were both studying for their doctoral degrees. Chen Xuan was immersed in her own research, and Wei Nian had to take care of his business and the assets he had accumulated over the years, as well as family matters. Wei Yin did not reveal a single word, so even Mrs. Wei did not know anything.
By the time the Wei family found out, Wei Yin had already completed the divorce procedures with Xue Wei. She only wanted the custody of the two children, all the properties under Wei Yin's name, and the villa she currently lived in. As for the rest, the Xue family's, Wei Yin didn't want anything at all.
When Wei Nian learned about this, he was furious and said to Wei Yin, "This is too cheap for Xue!"
Wei Yin said, "He only has a decoration company under his name, which is nothing more than some cash flow of the company. All the savings over the years have been used to buy real estate and land, all in my name. Let's get divorced quickly. I don't want to waste too much energy on these trivial matters."
Upon hearing that his sister had not suffered any loss in terms of property, Wei Nian asked, "He didn't want either of the two children?"
"He wants it, but he has the leverage over me, so he doesn't dare to ask for it." Wei Yin said calmly, "The Xue family may still have some money, but it's probably not too much. Let's just leave it at that."
Wei Nian saw that his sister really had no feelings for Xue Wei anymore, so the two of them discussed how to slowly tell the old lady about this matter. Wei Yin first sold the house they were living in to avoid being upset, and discussed with Wei Nian that it would be better to buy a big villa so that the whole family could live in one. Wei Yin paid half of the money.
Wei Nian would never let her pay. The children in the family were all grown up and should have their own rooms. In addition, the youngest brother-in-law Wen Yin was going to college, and Wei Yin and her children needed a big house.
Mrs. Wei was depressed because her daughter got divorced. No matter how much Wei Yin emphasized that she was the one who proposed the divorce, Mrs. Wei felt that her daughter was divorced and she didn't know what to do in the future. Fortunately, she was staying at her parents' home, and they could support her. So, she would just live with them in the future.
Fortunately, not long after moving in, Chen Xuan was diagnosed with pregnancy. Mrs. Wei's attention immediately shifted to Chen Xuan's belly. Mrs. Wei said, "Hey, the feng shui of this house is good. As soon as we moved in, A Xuan is pregnant."
After moving to the new house, everyone had their own room and everyone was very happy. Including Wei Yin. Although Mrs. Wei was so depressed about her divorce, Wei Yin felt that it was too easy. In the past, she was upset when she went home. After finishing her business, she had to fight with her parents-in-law. Home was no longer a place to rest, but a battlefield. Wei Yin didn't like this kind of life and simply ended it.
Wei Yin is only in her early thirties now. She is rich, beautiful, and confident. Even though she is already a mother of two children, she still has many suitors around her. Mrs. Wei was stunned and whispered to her son, "The world is different now. Even if your sister has been divorced, there are still so many men rushing to curry favor with her. Oh, your sister is really in a good world."
Wei Nian corrected, "That wasn't a divorce letter, a proper divorce, and it wasn't Xue who dumped Chen Yin, it was Yin who dumped him."
"I know, I know, that's what you mean." Mrs. Wei was extremely surprised and whispered to her son, "I thought it would be difficult for Ah Yin to remarry after the divorce, but it turns out that people don't care about first or second marriages now."
Wei Nian wanted to laugh when he heard his mother talk about her worries about his sister's future life. Although his sister was divorced, it was not her fault. Besides, Wei Yin graduated from a top university and had her own career. After she had dealt with the Xue family's mess, Wei Yin was also going to take a philosophy major. She was very busy and fulfilled now. As for Xue's father and mother, if they dared to come to the house to make trouble, this was not China. As long as they came to the house to make trouble, Wei Yin would directly call the police. Xue Wei still felt that Wei Yin was unkind, so Wei Yin simply asked his lawyer to communicate with Xue Wei.
As for visitation rights, you have to call ahead to make an appointment. You can't just show up and ask for it.
What's more, the visitation rights belong to Xue Wei, not Xue's father and mother.
Scholarly and famous families lose their privileges when they go to a foreign country.
Originally, Chen Xuan was worried that Xue Huai and Xue Jia would be affected by their parents' divorce, but after careful observation, the impact was not that great. Chen Xuan was relieved after thinking about it carefully. Since Xue's father and mother came over, Wei Yin has rarely had a happy day in the past two years. Children are the most sensitive. When adults' moods are affected, the children are also affected. Even if adults pretend to be indifferent, children are not unaware. Although their parents are separated now, there are still mothers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, and three little uncles from the Wen family who care about them. Children are the creatures that need love the most. Is a complete family that is fragmented inside more important or a family that is not complete but has a lot of love more important
It's not just the child who makes the choice, but also Wei Yin.
After the divorce, Wei Yin once told Chen Xuan, "I have thought again and again that if I continue to stay in such a family, wasting time and money, and my business, especially if I make such sacrifices for the children, in the end, I might blame them. In fact, what does this have to do with them? Forget it, people will always have hardships in their lives, and they have to learn to adapt and grow slowly."
Although Wei Yin's first marriage was a bit of a mistake, Mrs. Wei decided to take advantage of her daughter's good market and carefully consider this time so as to protect her daughter. But Wei Yin was not anxious again. Mrs. Wei was so anxious that she tried her best to persuade him, but Wei Yin did not listen. Mrs. Wei was so angry that she simply took driving lessons and asked her son to buy her a car after she learned how to drive, and she no longer cared about Wei Yin.
In Chen Xuan's opinion, among the four brothers and sisters of the Wei family, Wei Yin is the one who is most like Grandpa Wei. She is not like Wei Jin who cares about trivial matters, nor like Wei Nian who is smooth-talking. Wei Yin's temperament is even a little calm. She knows everything in her mind, follows the rules, and does not attack easily, because she must be fatal in one blow.
This is what happened with my divorce from Xue Wei.
The lightning and thunder happened so fast that people couldn't react in time, but she had already taken care of everything without suffering any loss!
After the divorce, Wei Yin resumed her usual orderly life. She had many suitors and was not averse to love. However, after having been married once, Wei Yin would be more cautious. She was not afraid of divorce. For a woman with money, career and beauty, love was only the icing on the cake.
As for Wei Yin’s two children, is there any problem with that
A burden
No, only the children of divorced women who are eager to find a man to rely on for food and clothing can be called a burden. Wei Yin's is the fruit of their former love.
When a mother is strong enough, no one will look down on her flesh and blood.
