The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 98 Wen Bao and Song Dalang Return Home
Just as Wen Bao wanted to speak, he heard Wen Liu said: "Mom, don't praise me. Don't hide it from my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law. My aunt was originally the daughter of a merchant, but her family was in trouble. My nanny when I was young Mama is my aunt's cousin, and she taught me the way of doing business and the way of employing people since I was a child."

Wen Liushi was outspoken, and did not hide anything just because she had just married into the Wen family.And because of her words, the Wen family also had other guesses about Mrs. Liu.

Seeing everyone's expressions turned pale, Wen Liu said with a smile: "Since I was young, my father let me study with my brothers, and in my free time, my grandma taught me how to do business and how to employ people. Only after you get married can you talk to your in-laws in detail."

Hearing what the fourth sister-in-law said, Wen Bao looked at her in surprise.

Her fourth sister-in-law really made her not know what to say.

She was so outspoken that she almost told their family that her relationship with her aunt was not good.

"Then your grandma..."

"My aunt didn't come to Nanning County, she stayed in her hometown and was taken care of by my cousin."

After Wu's question, Wen Liu answered bluntly, and then said: "I took the initiative to mention this matter today, firstly, I want to tell everyone that I am indeed at odds with my aunt, and secondly, I may not be able to settle down in the inner house, teach and educate I am naturally happy with people, but I also want to have my own small business, which I like to do."

Wen Bao listened to this fourth sister-in-law's words, and couldn't help looking at her again. Now she really suspected that her fourth sister-in-law was also a time traveler, otherwise why would her mind be so open?
Fortunately, her Wen family is not a family that likes to trap women in the inner house. Presumably the fourth sister-in-law must know his family's habits before agreeing to marry the fourth brother, right?
Wen Bao didn't know, what she guessed was exactly what Wen Liushi thought.

She naturally knew about the Wu family's intention to get married, and she also knew that Wu Wanjin, the head of the Wu family, wanted to find a wife who could help her son.

But Wen Liushi also knew that Wu Wanjin's daughter-in-law always felt that it was better for women to stay in the inner house.

When inquiring about the Wu family, she naturally knew about the Wen family, so when the Wen family wanted to get married, she naturally agreed.

Speaking of it, Master Liu loves his daughter very much, and this matter was handled by him alone, otherwise it would not have gone so smoothly.

Wen Liushi said so much bluntly today because he was afraid that these things would be known by the Wen family in the future.

She bluntly said that her relationship with her aunt was not very good, and she also reminded the Wen family, fearing that the Wen family would be surprised if her aunt's attitude towards her was known to the Wen family.

Wen Bao could understand why Mrs. Liu didn't like her fourth sister-in-law. After all, this was the child of her husband and another woman, how could she really like it.

Wen Liushi's too direct narration made the Wen family a little uncomfortable, but soon they understood that Wen Liushi was being honest with everyone.

Wen Bao and Song Dalang led the plum blossoms back to the yard with their arms in their arms. Wen Bao sighed quietly after arriving in the yard.

"This fourth sister-in-law is really like my mother."

Love and hate
After hearing Wen Bao's words, Song Dalang glanced sideways at her.

Wen Bao didn't pay attention to the way Song Dalang looked at him, he was still thinking about the fourth sister-in-law.

Her fourth sister-in-law actually wanted to test her today, and everyone in the family must understand this.

But she said it so bluntly, which actually made Wen Bao like her a bit.

Except for Wen Chengzhi and his wife who are in the academy, the other three houses in the Wen family, because Wen Liu's going out like this today, there are discussions in the yard when they return.

Wen Chengyong and his wife are the most honest, Wen Chen has a hot temper, and because her father almost married her stepmother when she was young, she didn't have any dislike because of Wen Liu's blunt statement today.

Although Wen Chengyong felt that the four younger siblings had too many eyes, but now they have separated, and he felt that his fourth younger brother would not be able to control the fourth younger sibling.

Wen Xu's background is not good, but it is relatively simple, and he doesn't understand the struggles in the big family's house at all.Wen Liushi said bluntly today that she was relieved, she was not afraid of dealing with such a direct person.

Wen Chengshuang doesn't care even more, neither of them know how to open a shop to do business, and the current business is especially suitable for them, and they are already very satisfied.

And Wen Chengquan had heard Wen Liushi explain a lot of things a few days ago, so he naturally knew that Wen Liushi's aunt died not accidentally, but after Mrs. Liu left her mother and daughter, he understood why every time his father-in-law saw him, All satisfied with the nodding thing.

"Going home today, my father-in-law is very happy to know that we are going to open a school in Songjia Village."

Mrs. Liu naturally likes Wen Liushi, she is her only daughter after all.

But for so many years, his first wife only did things back then that made him feel chilled. There was nothing wrong with her, and she couldn't be blamed for what happened back then. Master Liu naturally couldn't blame his first wife.

That's why he was overjoyed when he learned that the Wen family proposed marriage.

The Wen family is first of all a family of scholars, secondly, the family has a business, and there is no need to worry about food and drink, and finally it is because the Wen family is open-minded.

Mr. Liu knew his daughter's temperament, so he was very satisfied with the Wen family's marriage. Today, when he heard that his daughter took the initiative to avoid letting his aunt to live in Songjia Village, he was naturally more happy and guilty.

Wen Liushi locked the private bank note that Lord Liu secretly gave today into a box, then turned to look at Wen Chengquan and said, "I don't know if I told my parents like this today, will they blame me and think I'm not good? .”

Wen Chengquan knew in advance what Wen Liushi did today, and he also supported it.

The background of the daughter-in-law is better than that of other sister-in-laws. The dowry shop and other things will be known to the family in the future even if they don’t talk about it today.

It's just that Wen Chengquan never thought that this opportunity would come so soon.

"No, father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law are all sensible people. Your temperament is always like this. It's better to speak up today than to find out that you are different from what they understand in the future."

Wen Youcai and Wu Shi were indeed as lifeless as Wen Chengquan said.

The daughter-in-law is different from the one who inquired. Although this surprised them, they were not angry.

On the contrary, Wu Shi felt that the fourth daughter-in-law really resembled her.

"This aristocratic family has many rules. If you don't want to take a concubine for your husband, just say so, but it's like this!"

The Wu family had a rule not to take concubines, and the ancestors of the Wen family had some concubines, even after they gained fame, but the mistress of the Wen family was so dignified at the time, she immediately poured the concubine's room with must-have soup.

When Mrs. Wu said this, Wen Youcai nodded heartily from the sidelines.

At that time, his grandfather was given two beautiful concubines after he became famous. If his grandmother hadn't drugged him immediately, his father would not have had a good life later on.

"Our family is well-developed now. I will talk to the sons and daughters in a few days. In our family, men under the age of 40 will have no children, so they must never take concubines."

After listening to Wen Youcai's words, Wu just looked up at him and didn't respond.

Early the next morning, just as Wen Bao opened his eyes, he felt empty around him. He looked out the window and saw that it was not yet dawn, so he felt a little puzzled.

Wen Bao sat up slowly, put on his clothes, and then Song Dalang came in from outside the house.

"Daughter-in-law, are you awake? I went to the big kitchen to get some water. Get up and wash up quickly. When I come back, the breakfast in the big kitchen is almost ready. We can go home after eating later."

Wen Bao looked at Song Dalang's bright eyes, and then realized that Song Dalang was homesick.

Speaking of family, Wen Bao also thought, no matter how good her mother's family is, it was not a family built by her and Song Dalang.

Because they left early, it was only noon when they returned to Songjia Village. Xue Da heard something and immediately went out to check. After seeing Song Dalang and Wen Bao holding Tuan Tuan and the other driving a donkey cart, Mei Hua was still standing beside them. , Immediately opened his mouth in surprise and turned around: "At home, Madam and the others are back, roll out more noodles."

"Is everything okay at home?"

After being away from home for so long, Wen Bao and the others felt homesick. After Wen Bao and the others took all their things to the yard and put them away, everyone Xue also cooked the meals.

Back home, Wen Bao felt comfortable all over his body. Everyone Xue just boiled hot water, and Wen Bao immediately took a bath while it was warm at noon.

Wen Bao and the others are not at home these days, the quilts in the house, everyone Xue has been tidying up their house, and often drying their quilts.

Because someone was at home, Wen Bao and the others didn't have to clean up because the house was messy, but because there was someone looking after the house, they were much more relaxed.

As soon as Wen Youcai and the others came back, they asked the servants who stayed at home to start preparing for the banquet for the villagers tomorrow.

Wen Bao had a full meal, took a bath and slept for half an hour before going to Wen's house. Hearing Wu's arrangement, he immediately asked Song Dalang, who came with her, to make preparations so that he could go to the village to ask for help.

"Father and mother, if any family in Songjia Village has a happy event, they always invite people with good relations in the village to help. Although our family is just a banquet this time, it is a happy event after all, so we still need help."

After listening to Wen Bao's words, Wu and Wen Liu, who are accustomed to using servants, realized that in Songjia Village, there are still such rules for holding weddings.

They brought back a lot of meat and eggs from the town. There were not many dishes available at this time in early spring. Wen Bao was busy preparing the menu, and everyone in the Wen family was also busy because of tomorrow's banquet.

In Songjia Village, the banquet dishes are a little different from those in the town. Because Aunt Ma, who married a daughter-in-law last year, has experience in this matter, Mrs. Wu went to ask Aunt Ma for advice.

With Aunt Ma's guidance, the banquet became smoother.

The people of Songjia Village had known for a long time that Wen's family would have a banquet in Songjia Village when they married their daughter-in-law, and every household had already prepared congratulatory gifts.

None of them were expensive, and some were mushrooms that had been dried at home last winter, but the Wen family accepted them with a smile on their face, and even recorded them all.

Although there were not many dishes for the Wen family's banquet today, Wen Bao arranged them according to the habits of their mountain people.

They are all affordable meat dishes in large quantities. After a winter, although the people of Songjia Village have cured bacon last winter, they have no chance to eat such affordable meat dishes like Wen's.

When the Wen family finished the banquet, Wen Chengquan and his wife's school was about to open. During the banquet, Wen Chengshuang and his wife also inquired about the things that the village was going to send to the county, and planned to start business as soon as possible.

There are only Wen Bao and Song Dalang, and there is no clue about their affairs.
