Chapter 215: Over time, my attitude towards you has naturally deteriorated
Wen Wan was also speechless about the fact that his father and mother came to Haicheng to seek refuge with Wen Wan.
But this matter was done by Xie Changqing himself.
When seeing Xie Changqing leading the two elders in, Wen Wan couldn't understand why Mr. Albert, who had received five years of Western liberal education, was still so nostalgic and believed in the creed that filial piety is the most important virtue and that there are no wrong parents in the world.
This confusion disappeared when he saw the eye contact between Mr. and Mrs. Wen and Xie Changqing.
It was obvious that the two elders were acting according to Xie Changqing's wishes, and even the degree of their kindness had to be adjusted by Xie Changqing's eyes.
Wen Wan understood that Mr. Albert did not believe in these things, but just wanted to please her.
In Xie Changqing's opinion, he could give her everything, but the problem was that she seemed to have everything she needed, and there was nothing she particularly liked.
If you directly give her a practical house, car, cash and stocks, she will just take a look at them, then throw them on the bookshelf and ignore them.
Xie Changqing was afraid that it would be lost, so he had to keep it for her. It was no different from not giving it away.
Even if you give her a trainload of jewelry, bags and clothes that women like, she will just glance at them casually, and after looking at them she will still find it a headache to find a place to put these useless things.
In short, these things couldn't make Wen Wan smile, let alone make her happy.
Since material things couldn't make her happy, Xie Changqing thought about emotional things.
Xie Changqing was in a dilemma regarding his love life. He couldn't just find her a boyfriend to make her happy. At least, this would not happen while he was alive.
Since love doesn’t work, let’s try family love!
There should be no one in this world who doesn't want to be loved by their parents.
However, Xie Changqing had never received much love from his parents since he was a child, so he didn't know what parental love was like.
For this purpose, Xie Changqing specially consulted several employees who grew up in happy families and were spoiled by their parents, and even made a detailed plan and implementation standards.
It’s a pity that Mr. and Mrs. Wen are illiterate and can’t understand these.
Fortunately, as long as the money is in place, or to be more precise, as long as part of the money is given first and then a huge pie is drawn, there is nothing that cannot be done.
Wen's father and mother were competent actors. As soon as they saw Wen Wan, they began to ask about her well-being and even took out a roll of change wrapped in an old handkerchief from their pockets and stuffed it into Wen Wan's hand.
“My daughter, these are what your parents secretly saved for you.” Mother Wen said, “Originally there were more than this, but your father and I are illiterate and don’t know the way here, so we have no way to come to find you.
We will give the money to your brother and sister-in-law and ask them to send it to you and check on how you are doing.
I didn't expect these two bastards to embezzle all the money and cause such a scene in your school. Alas!"
Mother Wen slapped her thigh in shame and annoyance, "I never thought that they could be like this, not only do they not feel sorry for you, a girl living alone here, but they also embezzled the money we gave you and caused you so much trouble.
But don't worry, your brother, sister-in-law and your father have already taught you a lesson."
Wen Wan saw that her mother was glancing at Xie Changqing out of the corner of her eye while she was talking, while Xie Changqing's micro-expressions on the other side kept giving hints.
This situation couldn't be more obvious. After thinking about it, I couldn't find any other motives for Xie Changqing. The only possibility was that he just wanted to make her happy.
To make Wen's mother say such words with a clear conscience, I think Xie Changqing must have worked hard.
At the very least, the money involved must be considerable.
In order to make Xie Changqing understand that not everything in this world can be accomplished successfully as long as one uses means and works hard.
In addition to these, there is another very important reason. From childhood to adulthood, whether in this life or in the previous life, whether it is a direct blood relative or a partner or friend, no one has ever been willing to spend so much time and effort on her.
It would be a lie to say that Xie Changqing was not moved.
No matter who you are or what age you are, you all hope to be valued and pampered.
Those who seem strong and think that wanting to be pampered is pretentious, most of them are because no one values them or pampers them, so in order to save face for themselves, they force themselves to say that they don't care.
Wen Wan decided to continue the play with them.
Even with such a decision, facing the hypocritical and disgusting Wen's mother, there were some things Wen Wan couldn't say, and she could only force an awkward smile.
Thinking that Wen Wan's attitude had softened, Wen's mother acted even harder and grabbed Wen Wan's hand and began to caress it affectionately.
"Wanwan! During the years since you left home, your father and I have figured out a lot of things. We have really wronged you over the years."
Mother Wen wiped away her unfounded tears as she added more details and continued:
When I first married into the Wen family, your grandparents said that the Wen family was small and that they had to give birth to more boys so that they could support the family in the future.
When your brother was born, your grandparents were very happy and proud because your great-grandfather's cousin gave birth to two daughters in a row.
The first grandchild your grandparents had was a grandson, which gave them a chance to show off in front of their brothers and sisters-in-law.
Later, I don’t know what magic medicine your aunt took, but she gave birth to three boys in one go.
When your sister was born, your grandparents and I didn't think anything of it. We thought it was good to have a girl, and that we could have a boy next time.
I didn't expect that the baby would be a girl. On the day you were born, your grandparents had already prepared chicken soup, waiting for me to give birth to a second boy. But when they saw that you were another girl, they were so angry that they took away the whole pot and the soup.
Your grandma was still angry and scolded me for not being able to give birth to a son and only giving birth to money-losing goods.
I was already weak after giving birth, and when I heard her scolding me, I was so angry that I almost had a hemorrhage. Your father took me to the town hospital overnight and I finally saved my life.
Although his life was saved, his body was still injured and he will never be able to have children again in this lifetime.
Now your grandparents are even angrier and they scold me every day, saying all kinds of nasty things.
Before I was out of confinement, your grandparents asked your father to divorce me and marry someone who could give birth to a son.
Your father said, it’s not like I haven’t given birth to a boy for your Wen family, one son is enough.
Unexpectedly, your grandparents scolded your father for being useless, saying that your father's great-grandfather's cousin had three sons, while your father only had one son, your eldest brother, and that he would be bullied to death in the future.
What’s even more infuriating is that your cousin always comes to me to show off that she has three sons and makes fun of me for not being able to have children.
You also know that the daughters-in-law of our generation have no status in the family. Every day I am scolded by someone or someone else, and anyone who sees me rolls their eyes at me.
I didn't know what was wrong at the time. I just felt that it was all your fault. If I hadn't given birth to you, I wouldn't be like this now.
Over time, their attitude towards you will naturally deteriorate."
