Chapter 373: Saved by a fierce and rough boss
Before she had time to write a letter to tell her family that she had found a temporary job in the city, she unexpectedly received a letter from home first.
She reached out to take it, carefully opened the envelope and unfolded the letter.
Familiar handwriting came into view.
The letter first asked about Wen Yang's life at her aunt's house and expressed the family's longing for her. Then, a long paragraph was devoted to talking about recent events in the village.
Wen Yang read the first half and frowned at first, but when she read the second half, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Wen Minfang, who was standing by, noticed the change in Wen Yang's expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? What happened at home?"
Wen Yang shook his head and said calmly, "No, auntie, it was someone in the village who brought this upon himself and tried to throw dirty water on me."
Wen Minfang's eyes widened upon hearing this. "Who dares to throw dirty water on you?" She leaned over to the letter, frowned, and asked, "What did your father write? Let me see it."
Wen Yang obediently handed the letter to Wen Minfang.
Wen Minfang quickly glanced at the contents of the letter and immediately cursed out loud.
"Hey! I told you that old Cui from next door is a chatterbox, and her daughter isn't a good person either. She brought this upon herself, yet she's trying to throw the dirty water on you. How dare she brazenly spread the word in the village that she got involved with that guy from the next village because of you? In my opinion, she tried to trick you, but ended up getting herself into trouble. This is what you call bringing trouble upon yourself, and you deserve it! You deserve it!"
Wen Yang saw that Wen Minfang was very emotional after her scolding, so he quickly comforted her, "Aunt, don't get excited, don't get yourself angry."
Wen Minfang took a deep breath and calmed down her excitement a little, but she still felt a little unfair for Wen Yang's experience, because Wen Tuqiang said in the letter that many people in the village really thought it was Wen Yang's problem.
She sighed heavily, "Yangyang, ask your father about the situation in the village later. If there is still so much gossip in the village, then you can stay in the county town for a while."
"But..." Wen Yang felt a little embarrassed, because if she stayed here for a few more days, there would be one more person's expenses, and she still felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, Yangyang, don't feel burdened. Your aunt is also worried about you. If you stay for a few more days, your cousins will be very happy too." Yao Xing said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, kid, why are you being so polite to your aunt?"
Wen Yang was so moved by what Wen Minfang and Yao Xing said that his eyes turned red.
"Thank you, auntie, and thank you, uncle."
Wen Minfang smiled and said, "We're family, so we don't have to talk behind each other's backs. Okay, you've been working hard all day, go and have a rest. I'll cook dinner. We'll eat when your cousins get home from school."
Wen Yang shook his head and said, "Aunt, I'm not tired. I'll come to the kitchen to help you."
Seeing this, Wen Minfang did not refuse, "Okay, then please help me wash the vegetables."
Wen Yang's eyebrows curved, and he smiled and replied, "Okay."
Then the two of them headed towards the kitchen.
The two of them worked together and quickly prepared a table full of food.
Yao Chuntao and Yao Weiguo also came back from school.
The family finished their dinner happily.
In the evening, after taking a shower, everyone returned to their own rooms.
Wen Minfang lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time, and sighed several times.
Yao Xing noticed something was wrong with Wen Minfang, and turned his head to ask softly, "What's wrong? Are you still unable to sleep because of Yangyang's situation? Are you still a little worried about the rumors in the village?"
Hearing Yao Xing speak, Wen Minfang turned slightly to the side in the dark night, lying facing Yao Xing, and said helplessly: "Yes, the Cai family is really too much. I didn't like their family when I lived in the village before. When I married you, Aunt Cui in the village even sneered and said that I sold my body to seduce you!"
When mentioning this, Wen Minfang's voice was filled with a hint of gnashing of teeth.
"Hahaha..." Yao Xing couldn't help laughing when he heard that.
"What are you laughing at!" Wen Minfang scolded in a low voice.
Yao Xing moved closer to Wen Minfang, hugged her close, and said softly, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. Aunt Cui is just a nagging girl. Just ignore her. And how can you say you seduced her? It was obviously me who was attracted by your beauty. I was fascinated by you the first time I saw you when I was in school, and I only wanted to marry you."
After hearing this, Wen Minfang's anger immediately subsided, but she still said stubbornly: "You are the only one who can say..."
Yao Xing patted Wen Minfang's back gently and continued to comfort her, "I'm speaking from the heart. Don't be angry anymore. It's not worth it to ruin your health because of those people. Now we just need to live our own lives well. Yangyang's problem will be resolved."
Wen Minfang leaned in Yao Xing's arms, her face still a little worried. She asked, "How do we resolve this? I feel like these rumors will have some kind of irreversible impact on her. What if she can't find the right person in the village because of this? Wouldn't that be..."
"Oh..." Before she could finish her words, Wen Minfang sighed heavily again.
"How about I go to my workplace and ask?" Yao Xing suddenly said.
"Ask? What?" Wen Minfang was a little confused.
"Remember I told you last time that my boss, Old Lu's youngest son, just returned from the provincial capital?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Minfang's eyes suddenly lit up in the dark!
She pulled her hand out of Yao Xing's arms, grabbed his arm, and said excitedly: "Tell me in detail!"
Seeing Wen Minfang's expression, Yao Xing knew that she understood the meaning behind his words, so he continued, "The youngest son of the Lu family is still unmarried. Last time, he asked at work if there were any suitable girls he could introduce to him."
"What's the guy like? Is he tall? Is he handsome? Does he have money?"
Yao Xing chuckled softly upon hearing this and replied, "Old Lu is my immediate superior, so how could his family be well off?"
Wen Minfang seemed to realize that she had asked a stupid question. She tutted lightly, "That's true."
Yao Xing paused, then continued, "As for height and appearance... Old Lu is quite tall and well-proportioned. We met his wife last time, and she was also quite tall and elegant, so their son shouldn't be much worse off."
"Hmm...you do make a lot of sense."
After Yao Xing's reminder, Wen Minfang also remembered that the last time she and Yao Xing met the Lu couple, they both looked quite elegant and easy-going, and indeed they were neither short nor ugly.
But then, she became uneasy again.
Although she thought Wen Yang had a great appearance and personality, marriage nowadays still required some consideration of equal status.
After all, Old Lu is the leader of their Yao Xing family, and the Lu family are all city people. So, with their perspective, would they look down on Wen Yang?
