Chapter 104: Fighting for food
Old Mrs. Wen was circling around the room, feeling confused.
Haven’t been like this for years…
Why do they all seek gentle words? So many grandchildren!
She started to have meaningless thoughts...
Suddenly a panicked person came in at the door. "Old lady, old lady, come back!"
“What? He’s back? What’s he back for?”
“No, I don’t know.”
“Is the second master here?”
“The second master is waiting in front to pick you up!”
Old Mrs. Wen had a lot of thoughts, but she didn’t expect that the old lady came here just for Wen Yu!
So, when the old man appeared in her room with dignity and told her that he had decided to marry Wen Yu to the Qi family...
Old Mrs. Wen and Wen Feng, who came in with the old man, were both shocked.
Wen Feng stammered: "Dad, are you not mistaken? Marrying Wu Lang of the Qi family? Isn't this a dream?"
"Bah! Why can't I marry my eldest granddaughter! She is as beautiful as a fairy, has outstanding talents, and is generous. Who doesn't like it? Our Wen family is also a family of officials, and the family is rich and powerful. Haha, her father, You are still an official in the capital. You have no future! Don't think that others are like you!" I don't know where this is going.
Wen Feng was immediately overjoyed. He originally hoped that Wen Yu could enter Prince Wu's palace.
In the end, I really saw some hope, but it was completely ruined by an assassination.
At the Tianlong Temple Dharma Assembly, he saw Mr. Qi Wu from a distance, but he couldn't even get close to him!
He always thought that he was handsome and suave, but after taking one look at Mr. Qi Wu, he felt ashamed...
Old Mrs. Wen was dumbfounded: How did this **** know? Is it the letter from Wen Yubao? impossible!
“How did you know?” There was no point in hiding, so she asked directly.
"Don't worry about it! Anyway, I've decided on this marriage. If you don't agree, I'll take Wen Yu away today. I'll make the arrangements for the marriage, and I'll pay for the dowry!"
“Haha!” Old Mrs. Wen sneered: “Do you think that as a coming-of-age ceremony, Wen Yu, your granddaughter, will be yours?!”
“It’s mine! Anyway, I gave it to you as a coming-of-age gift! What did you give me?”
"Maybe I raised her from childhood to adulthood?!" Old Mrs. Wen suppressed her anger and smiled sarcastically.
“Haha, is Mrs. Chen’s dowry here with you? Why did you raise it?! She grew up on her own! We two are the same! Don’t blame each other!”
"You!" Old Mrs. Wen was so angry that she was dizzy, "You're late! Wen Yu, I have already promised to Song Shang!"
“What?” Neither Mr. Wen nor Wen Feng understood.
“Song Shang wanted to make peace with Wei Shi and asked me for gentle words, and I agreed!” Old Mrs. Wen was so proud that she was so angry with the old man.
“You!” This time, it was the old man’s turn to be speechless.
"What does Song Shang mean to the Wen family? I don't need to say more!? He opened his mouth to beg, but I refused? Can we still do business? Even you can't do without him, right?!" The old man looked ugly With an expression on her face, the old lady expressed that she was very happy.
Old Mrs. Wen indeed lost the pride he had just now, but looked at the dead old woman coldly.
At this moment, Wen Feng showed his "smartness"!
“Mother, did the Qi family directly propose marriage to you?”
The two old men ignored him. He then said: "The eldest brother has been promoted, and what we need more is connections! The Qi family is a first-class family in the capital! As long as the marriage is completed, our social contacts in Beijing will be several levels higher than now." ! Song Shangke can’t give this!”
“Shut up!” Old Mrs. Wen scolded him.
Mr. Wen is a little cautious. He has no plans to go to the capital. The higher Wen Qian climbs, the worse it will be for him...
But...he then thought again, the fifth son of the Qi family went to find him personally about this matter, how could he be so shameless?
If you offend him, when he comes back to Beijing and come back to look for you, you will be finished!
After thinking about it, he said: "Song Shang has not reconciled yet, so you should do it now. Do you want your legitimate granddaughter to be your concubine?"
The old lady had nothing to say in reply.
It is said that we should go and leave, but what if we cannot do it? That's the Wei family...
"What if he can't do it?" The old man really thought of this, "Missing the Qi family in vain? Ordinarily, if Wen Qian rises, you should also move up. Why, you still can't get out of the trap of being a fly and a dog?"
"Hello! If you have the skills, don't use Song Shang! You're still far from showing your respectability with me!" The old lady got anxious and yelled.
But the angrier she got, the happier Mr. Wen was, "Look at you like this! I don't know which ancestor of the old Wen family blessed me with such an outstanding person as Wen Yu! Fortunately, most of the other descendants look like me, otherwise... …hehe!"
Old Mrs. Wen had been feeling sad for several days, but when the old man got angry, she swayed and almost fainted.
Wen Feng hurried to help. "Mom, what father said is not unreasonable. Don't be so angry..."
Mrs. Wen panted for a long time before she said slowly: "How come I don't know what you said makes sense? But it's hard for me to do it! Song Shang, kneeling down and pleading, you said, in other words, You, what should you do?”
She did this, and it was a bit difficult for Mr. Wen to deal with her.
"A man of such skill has begged me here and there, and he still..." the old lady thought to herself, I guess I can't keep the two hundred thousand for myself, "He also promised to give two hundred thousand as a betrothal gift!"
“What?” Both father and son exclaimed again.
Mr. Wen finally said: "Is he crazy? But why is this?"
"You ask me? How could I know!? There aren't many stupid men in the world with high eyebrows!" Old Mrs. Wen said bitterly.
Even he was scolded, but Mr. Wen didn't care.
"It's not just this! This morning, Mrs. Zhang came and asked to marry Wen Yu for Zhang Weiqing. I said that her grandfather had already made plans, but she refused!"
“…You are so good at shouldering all the responsibilities!” Mr. Wen gritted his teeth.
"Ha!" Old Mrs. Wen sneered, "Have you seen Song Shang's determination? Two hundred thousand taels! She is also your granddaughter, so let's split the account!" Old Mrs. Wen was completely shameless and coldly let It’s heartbreaking.
This time, it’s the old man’s turn to scratch his head.
Unexpectedly, Wen Feng was the most rational one at this time: "Mother, although money is good, rights are more important! How much of a rich family property can be preserved without power to protect it? If nothing else, Dad , Isn’t that what happened at your place? It looks like there’s a lot of output, but how much can be left after all the work is done?”
Mr. Wen nodded in approval.
Old Mrs. Wen glared at him.
“Mother, if the Qi family didn’t open their mouths, we wouldn’t be able to post it. But when someone said it, you couldn’t continue happily…”
The old man also recovered. Yes, this is his chance! If you catch Wen Yu and use the Qi family as your backer, you no longer have to worry about being suppressed by Wen Qian!
“It’s all shameless!” he answered.
Hee hee, what a bunch of bad people! I wrote it happily, I hope you guys will enjoy reading it.
