While Wei Ruo was running outside, Wei Qingwan was learning how to manage family affairs with Yun.
Mr. Yun knew that Wei Ruo was running outside, so he didnât ask her where she went, and didnât restrain her, because she didnât want to bother with it anymore.
She is good for the eldest daughter, for her reputation and her future, but the eldest daughter is totally ungrateful and contradicts her everywhere.
Instead of wasting this effort on the eldest daughter, she should teach Wanwan well, and find a good marriage for Wanwan next year when she is old enough.
The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month is a small New Yearâs Eve for the people of Taizhou Prefecture.
Wei Mingting did not return to Wei Mansion, but Wei Yichen came back.
When Wei Yichen came back, only Yunshi and Wei Qingwan were in the mansion, Wei Ruo was outside as usual, although Wei Yilinâs martial arts class had also stopped, but he was addicted to martial arts, and he would still go to the martial arts master to practice in the morning these few days, And ask Master to give some pointers.
Seeing Wei Yichen, Yun was overjoyed, but at the same time felt distressed: âYichen, you have lost weight, you have worked hard these days.â
Wei Yichen looked at Yun, feeling distressed: âMother, I didnât work hard, and I didnât lose weight. I had a very happy life in the academy, and I learned a lot every day. But mother, I have obviously lost weight these days. â
âMother doesnât have to work hard, as long as you are all well, motherâs hard work is nothing. Itâs your father who has worked so hard. He has hardly had a good rest these days. Mother is really afraid that his body will not be able to bear it.â
When it comes to her husband, Yun is full of worries.
âDonât worry, mother, my fatherâs body has always been strong, and the Japanese pirates have been quite peaceful these few days. There has been no war, so my father should have time to rest.â Wei Yichen comforted.
âHmmâŠâ Itâs not easy for Yun to talk about these things with the children.
âBrother!â Wei Qingwan stepped forward with an excited expression and shining eyes.
âWanwan.â Wei Yichen looked at Wei Qingwan tenderly.
âBrother, you have worked hard.â Wei Qingwan said with concern.
âIâm fine, how are you doing recently?â Wei Yichen asked concerned.
âWell, Iâm fine, thank you brother for your concern.â
âWhere is Ruoer?â Wei Yichen asked.
When Wei Yichen asked Wei Ruo, Yunâs face darkened: âShe didnât know where she went. After arriving in Fucheng, she went too far. As long as she didnât go to class, she would run outside. I donât know that she runs every day. Where did she go? In Xingshan County, she used to be busy with things in the south of the city, but now I really donât know what she is busy with!â
Wei Yichen guessed: âMaybe the eldest sister has gone to help farmers farm again. She likes to do this.â
âThatâs outrageous.â Yun said.
Wei Yichen helped Wei Ruo explain: âThis year, the food income in various places is not good, and the eldest sister knows how to make the land grow more crops. She can save many people.â
âLet her go.â Yun Shi didnât want to continue talking about the eldest daughter.
âMother, the eldest sister suffered so much before, wouldnât it be nice if she could be happy now? We brought her back not to make her unhappy, but to make up for the suffering she suffered in the past, right?â
Wei Yichen continued, he knew his mother well, and could see that her mother was dissatisfied, and he didnât want her to keep holding back her anger towards her elder sister.
They are a family, no matter on the surface or in their hearts, they should be harmonious.
Yun said again: âYou donât know, these few days she has been selling loquat paste to the wives and ladies of various families in the city, ten taels of silver a can, and I donât know what everyone thinks about our Wei family now, maybe itâs hidden behind the scenes. They all feel that our family is ashamed and philistine, saying that we were born in the Earlâs Mansion, but the eldest daughter is busy doing business there to make money.â
Wei Yichen was surprised and said: âMother, who did you hear that from? What my classmate Wang Jiagongzi told me is different from what you told my mother. He told me that my eldest sister is very powerful, and that the loquat paste cured her. Seeing his auntâs cough, he exaggerated how powerful my sister is.â
âReally? Is it because I am embarrassed to say bad things in front of you?â Yun asked suspiciously.
âMother, how can I have such a big face to let them say things against their will just to please me?â Wei Yichen asked back.
Those who can enter Anzhou Academy are those who have a strong background. In comparison, the Wei family that has long since declined is not worthy of being liked by others.
Yunâs thinking makes sense.
Wei Yichen continued: âMother, according to what I heard from my classmates, the elder sisterâs loquat cream was not offered for sale by her, but someone else wanted it, and asked to come to the house. Those who came to ask for the medicine gave the money only for themselves. Otherwise, they are not related to our Wei family, so they donât know how to say this, donât you think?â
After Wei Yichen said this, Yunâs breath, which had been held back for a few days, suddenly became much easier.
âYou child, you are used to comforting people.â Yun couldnât help saying.
âMom, Iâm not comforting people, Iâm telling the truth. Your worries are unnecessary. We are doing well, so donât worry about that. The eldest sister made the loquat cream by herself, which caused coughing symptoms. Not only is it not ashamed, but it is also very embarrassing for our parents Wei.â Wei Yichen emphasized again.
âOkay, okay, arenât you talking so much just to make mother not be angry with your eldest sister? Itâs fine if mother doesnât get angry, but itâs true that she has been running away recently, mother, I canât control her either.â Yun Dow.
âWhen my elder sister comes back at night, Iâll ask her carefully and ask her to pay attention to it as much as possible?â Wei Yichen said.
âTalk to her, I told her Iâm afraid there will be a quarrel if I donât say a few words.â Yun couldnât help saying.
âWell, let me tell you, so mother, you promise me, when the eldest sister comes home, donât be cold-faced. The eldest sister has been home for less than a year, and we donât have a deep relationship with us. You always have a cold face. It will only make our relationship worse.â
âOkay, mother knows, mother listens to you.â
The elder sonâs words were very useful to Mr. Yun.
The smile on Wei Qingwanâs face visibly dissipated.
After Wei Yichen comforted Yun, he turned his head and saw Wei Qingwan, who was looking slightly unwell, and asked hurriedly, âWhatâs wrong with Wanwan? Are you uncomfortable?â
âItâs nothing, maybe Iâve caught a cold, and my head is a little dizzy.â Wei Qingwan hastily excused.
âItâs been freezing cold for the past few days, Wanwan has to be very careful. When you go outside, ask the maid to warm you up with the hand stove. You should also wear thick clothes, and you need to add a robe outside.â
