Wanjin Lady

Chapter 35 Parenting
Wen Wan smiled, "Father, don't be the kind of father-in-law who hopes his son-in-law is capable, but is also afraid of his incompetence. As the saying goes, forcing someone will only do the opposite. When a couple lives together, what's the point of having control?"

Father Wen disagreed. "If he hadn't married into the family, I'd have wanted him to be crowned the Wolf's Lair! What man in this world is willing to be inferior to a woman? Don't take it lightly! The dog that doesn't bark is the one that bites the most."

Wen Wan looked like she was being taught a lesson. "I'll listen to you, Daddy. I will never let him get involved in the Wen family's business."

Father Wen was satisfied this time and took a deep breath. "So you plan to make him wear a mask for the rest of his life?"

"Let's wait for now. Zhao Heng's marriage to my daughter was a trick she used to deceive me. Shou'an County isn't far, but what if someone recognizes him and talks to him, causing him to remember? What will we do?"

Wen Weiming also had a headache when he thought about this.

If he hadn't been forced to this point, how could he be willing to be the evil man who bullies men and women?
"Since you've already become a bad person, you might as well go all the way. Ask a barefoot doctor to prescribe some medicine so that his brain doesn't heal too quickly. At least... you have to wait until you give birth to a child of the Wen family. If he insists on leaving by then, that's another matter."

Wen Wan smiled, but didn't continue to pay attention to this topic. She was only concerned about her father's health. "Dad, you didn't sleep all night again? Shi Jinquan's matter...isn't at the end of the road."

"I would like to ask you, what are your plans for this matter?" Old Man Wen was afraid that his family would worry, so he pretended not to care, but in fact, he was full of hatred and annoyance.

He has worked hard for most of his life and has never suffered such a big loss.

What’s more, the person who stabbed him in the back was a brother who had worked with him since the start-up period.

Wen Weiming was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find a solution to the current predicament.

All the money in the family was used to pay off debts, and they still owed one thousand taels of silver. The grain for making wine in the second half of the year at the winery has not been purchased yet.

Now the entire Wen family winery has come to a complete halt.

"I thought about it over and over last night. Neither refusing to pay nor finding Shi Jinquan is feasible. Xinlong Bank is not to be trifled with. His family has a very close relationship with the county magistrate, and it is said that the owner behind the bank is also related to the royal family. Although Xinlong Bank took advantage of this incident, we can't sue them. This lawsuit...is unwinnable."

Does Xinlong Money House have such a powerful background?
He is actually involved with the royal family of Dachen?
No wonder it has flourished all over the country, and no wonder Shopkeeper Ding speaks so domineeringly.

"As for Shi Jinquan, he's caused such a big mess, he must be hiding. Let's not even talk about whether we can find him. Even if we do find him, there's no guarantee we can get the silver back. If he still can't produce the silver even if he's exiled or beheaded, there's nothing we can do."

Wen Wan knew these principles very well.

"At this point, the only option left is to clear out the inventory." Father Wen pondered all night and found something. "The winery still has a collection of valuable vintage wines, a legacy of our family. I had wanted to showcase them at the Bozhou Green Plum Wine Festival next spring, but now... I can only sell them at a low price until we can get through this period."

The Green Plum Wine Cooking Conference is a grand event held every five years in Bozhou. It can be said to be the largest event in the entire industry. Bozhou wine merchants flock to the conference, and the crowds are huge.

Wen Wan thought that it was probably the same as the sugar and wine fairs in later generations.

"Let my daughter handle the clearance."

Old Man Wen still had a worried look on his face. Yesterday, someone blocked his wedding to collect debts. He was afraid that the people in Ping County had realized that the Wen family was on the verge of collapse. The aged wine that could have been sold for a good price could only be sold at a low price now.

Sunset West Mountain.

This is just the beginning.

The future will only get darker.

"We have to report Shi Jinquan's case to the authorities. We have to make sure everyone knows that the Wen family is also a victim."

Old Man Wen is worried about Wen Wan. There are so many wolves and tigers outside. How can his daughter's tender shoulders bear it?
Although Wen Wan had behaved ten times more steadily and ruthlessly than he had imagined during this period.

But...she is still a little girl who has not grown up.

Of course, in the eyes of your parents, even if you are fifty or sixty... you are still a child.

"Also, money lenders keep all matters confidential, but Shopkeeper Zhu knows that we borrowed money from Xinlong Bank. This shows that he is most likely in collusion with Shi Jinquan. I'm going to meet that Old Zhu today under the pretext of buying grain."

When the topic turned to business, Old Man Wen's complexion improved considerably. The thing old people fear most is their children thinking they're useless.

No matter what Old Man Wen said, Wen Wan looked like she was learning something, which made Old Man Wen feel relieved.

Wen Wan also flatters him at the right time, giving Old Man Wen the full emotional value.

"Dad is so wise. Oh, how could I not have thought of these things? It shows that this family still needs a dad. My daughter is young and doesn't understand many things, but I still need you to spare no effort to teach me. Dad, please take care of yourself. Wen Jing and I are counting on you."

Old Man Wen felt relieved this time.

"Business matters could take ten days and nights to discuss. You're still young and inexperienced, so you need to learn a lot. When you become a master, I'll retire and stay home to enjoy my grandchildren."

OK OK.

The two men at home are handsome, while she works hard outside.

The days are becoming more and more promising.

But Zhao Heng walked out holding a book in his left hand and holding Wen Jing's hand with his right hand.

After walking out for a while, little Wen Jing hid in a secluded place and waved at Zhao Heng stealthily.

The child crossed his arms over his chest, his cheeks puffed up, like a well-fed goldfish.

Very fierce.

"Brother-in-law..." Wen Jing crossed her arms and said in a tone that said, "You can't bully me. If you do, I'll beat you up when I grow up!"

Zhao Heng saw that she was cute and reached out to pinch her face, "How did I bully Wen Wan?"

Wen Jing dodged his hand and said angrily, "Don't try to quibble! I heard everything last night. You hit my sister, and she screamed miserably!"

Zhao Heng was stunned.

It took him a long time to understand what Wen Jing said, and his face turned red all the way to his ears.

Zhao Heng coughed softly, "You came to our yard last night?"

"That's right!" Wen Jing looked up, looking at the tall man in front of her with great effort. "I was hungry, and I remembered that there was food in my sister's room, so I went to look for her. But then I heard that my sister was about to cry because of you beating her! I wanted to go in and help, but Lan Xin said you were busy and not allowed to disturb you! Humph, if it weren't for my sister's love for you, I was going to tell Dad!"

Zhao Heng blushed.

Did they make any noise last night?

It's just three or four times in one night, why is there such a big fuss?
This put Zhao Heng in a difficult position.

Zhao Heng didn't know how to explain this to Wen Jing, so he just squatted down and patted the little girl's head, but he looked around and said something else, "Little sister, do you want the red envelope? If you promise not to tell anyone about this, I will quietly return the red envelope that your sister confiscated to you. How about that?"

The little girl frowned, feeling very embarrassed.

It’s a red envelope, there is silver inside, you can buy some candy!

The chapter from last night is currently being revised and awaiting review, which will take time.

Let's all look back at this.

Hey, you little dark room, hurry up and release my wedding night footage!!!
