Chapter 335: 70s Stepmother 6
Chapter 335: 70s Stepmother 6
On the way back to the village, Wen Nuan once again experienced the feeling of having her butt rubbed, which was a sour and refreshing feeling.
She didn't plan to live in the leaky earthen kiln at night. It was no different from a wasteland. Whoever wanted to live there could do so.
The old Wen family does not live entirely in loess houses. The couple and the lifeblood of the Wen family all live in large tiled houses.
Although Wen Guoping and his wife only work part-time on weekdays, they still rely on the support of the elderly couple.
The old couple had been frugal over the years and still worked even at an old age. The money they had saved for the coffin was given to their son Wen Guoping, or to be more precise, to the lifeblood of the Wen family - Wen Xiaobao, their beloved grandson.
Of course, the eldest granddaughter was also treated well before she got married. Not only did she live in the same big tiled house, but even after she got married, the room was still reserved for her.
As for the original owner, he had to live in a leaky doghouse since he was a child. It was cold in winter and hot in summer. He suffered a lot.
But it is not right to say that the entire Wen family is worthless. In the eyes of the original owner, there is at least one person who deserves repayment.
"Grandpa, look what I brought you."
"Roasted chicken and pork head, both are for you to eat with wine. Smell them, are they delicious?"
Wen Nuan returned to the village and left home again. The father and son were both sleeping soundly.
They don’t deserve to eat. Just go to sleep. A good sleep will give you enough energy to watch the show tomorrow.
"Hey, little girl, why are you here at Grandpa's place today?"
"Why did you bring so many goodies? Hurry up, girl, take them back and eat them slowly by yourself. Don't let your parents find out~"
As the old man spoke, he hunched over and peered toward the door, and he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was indeed no one around.
Somehow, Wen Nuan felt a little sour in her nose when she saw this scene.
Who can one be on guard against with such caution? It's the original owner's family, including the original owner's grandparents who have no conscience.
They all have the surname Wen, but they are worse than strangers.
The original owner was beaten and starved when she was a child, and she could only hide in a corner and cry alone. Every time, this grandfather would secretly come to help her.
Only when this grandfather called her "girl" did his eyes show warmth.
But in the final analysis, great grandfather is also in a difficult situation and cannot protect the original owner openly.
Speaking of the previous generation, they are indeed biased in the same vein.
The original owner’s grandfather had two brothers in this generation, and the other one was this great-grandfather.
The two brothers were named Wen Dashan and Wen Dashu. At first, the family had high hopes for the eldest son of my great-grandfather.
But my great grandfather was unlucky. In those days, every family was poor. My great grandfather was a filial son, and he couldn't bear to see his parents and younger brother starving.
On impulse, he went into the mountains alone, just to hunt some game. But who would have thought that he would encounter a blind bear.
Fortunately, my great-grandfather was lucky enough to survive, but his hand was bitten off.
Without an arm, he can't get married, and even working in the fields will make him half-crippled. Farmers rely on their hands.
It was also from that day that the great grandfather's eldest son was completely abandoned, and everything in the family was focused on the youngest son.
The family didn't even have any plans to find my great-grandfather a wife. When the old couple was still alive, they forced my great-grandfather to stay at home and work as a workhorse. After all, he still had one hand and was not completely paralyzed.
It was even more outrageous when the two old men were about to die. They directly separated my great-grandfather from his family without giving him a single grain of food. They just gave him a dirt hut that was similar to the original owner's.
Everyone in the village can see that it is obvious that the older one does not want to drag down the younger one. But in the final analysis, this is someone else's business, and no one has the time to meddle in other people's affairs.
At that time, my great-grandfather had already become a well-known old bachelor in the village. Because he had lost one hand, he was now kicked out of the house. No family would be stupid enough to marry their daughter to him, as they would not get any benefits at all and might even be extorted.
Just like this, the great grandfather has lived alone until now. The original owner's grandparents didn't even have this eldest brother in their eyes. They usually avoided him like a plague and would not even say hello when they met him.
Fortunately, my great-grandfather was a hard-working person. As he grew older, he trained his only remaining right hand and was able to go to work to earn a living.
But that was just barely enough. Even the rations he gave to the original owner were saved by him.
Even so, we have to do it secretly and cannot let the Wen family know. Otherwise, neither of us will be in good shape.
As she recalled, when the original owner agreed to marry into the Li family, her great grandfather also advised her not to be stubborn and to think more about herself.
Although my great grandfather has some foolish filial piety genes in him, now that his parents are gone, he can see his younger brother's family very clearly.
But the original owner was so stubborn that she only thought about helping her sister take care of the children...
You said that you, an illiterate, could open two restaurants. Why don't you do something else instead of devoting yourself wholeheartedly?
On the contrary, she never remembered the great-grandfather who had helped her in the past.
Although she didn't remember what happened to her great-grandfather, Wen Nuan knew with her toes that it was probably a miserable ending.
In this regard, Wen Nuan is not the original owner, so she has to find the right person to repay her gratitude.
Although it was just a few steamed buns with whole grains at the beginning, it was all the old man had. This favor is so great!
"Grandpa, don't worry, I know what's going on."
"I hunted some small things in the mountains a few days ago and secretly took them to town to sell."
"Dangdangdang~ Look what this is~"
Wen Nuan said as she took out a bottle of liquor like a magic trick, opened the bottle cap and moved closer to the old man.
However, when Wen Nuan said this, instead of receiving any compliments, the old man looked gloomy on the spot.
"Girl, you're going up the mountain!"
"Don't go there again. No matter how difficult it is, Grandpa will leave some food for you."
"Don't go there again, you hear me!"
As he spoke, the old man looked her up and down carefully, as if he was afraid that Wen Nuan was hurt and didn't want to say anything.
Wen Nuan felt a sudden blockage in her heart. How could she not know that her great grandfather lost his hand when he went up the mountain...
"I know, don't worry, Grandpa. I definitely won't go."
"I have many tricks, I can still get good stuff..."
Wen Nuan pretended to be playful and interrupted to make some jokes, which made the serious old man laugh.
"You little girl, you still have some tricks~ How can you be so chivalrous as a young girl?"
"You're a grown-up girl now, and you're about to get married. You can't do this outside, okay?"
"Alas, even your parents, I don't know if they will find a good family for you~"
As he was talking, the old man became worried again. Wen Nuan saw that it was not good, so she immediately changed the subject and pushed the pork head forward...
The grandparents and grandchildren had a very satisfying meal of meat.
Meanwhile, the Li family is staging a big ethical drama...
