Chapter 52 Planning for the future

Ten days ago, the disaster victims who were temporarily staying at the resettlement site were successively sent to various villages by county officials, and the thatched huts where the victims had lived were almost completely dismantled by the officials.

Only two thatched huts remained in the northernmost corner. The county magistrate had received a message from the prefectural government and specifically instructed that they be left there for them to stay temporarily.

Today, Wen Dashan and the others finally arrived. Wen Zibai choked up, his voice as if soaked with tears: "Dad, Daya, Xiaoqi, it's good that you're back."

Wen Yun Shen muttered dejectedly, his tone like that of a wronged child: "Second Uncle is so biased, he only has eyes for Daya and Xiaoqi."

"Yun Shen accompanied Grandpa to the prefectural city this time, which was commendable. Grandpa will give you a bonus later," Wen Dashan said with a smile, his wrinkles blooming like chrysanthemums.

Looking at the smiling faces of the Wen family members before her, and thinking of their unwavering support for her and her brother, Wen Yuxia felt a little excited. Her voice was as melodious as a nightingale's song: "Second Uncle, where do you live now?"

"There," Wen Zibo pointed in a direction, grinning sheepishly, a smile that seemed to melt ice and snow.

Suddenly, Yang's sharp voice came from afar: "Yunjiang, Yunjiang, go quickly and call your second uncle and the others back for dinner."

Wen Yunjiang grinned and said, "Mom, Grandpa, Daya, Xiaoqi, and my eldest brother are back!"

Soon, Yang, Zhang, and Hua hurried towards them with small, quick steps. All three wore the same smile, and were thinking the same thing: Wen Dashan was back; they could go to the village where they would settle down tomorrow.

"Father, you're back," Madam Yang greeted with a smile.

Hua rushed forward and hugged Wen Yuxia and Wen Yunhong, choking back tears as she said, "Da Ya, your third aunt missed you so much."

Zhang picked up Wen Yunhong and started walking back, saying as she went, "It's good that you're back. Third son's wife, stop crying here. It's time to go home for dinner."

Upon arriving in Xinchuan County, Yang told Wen Zibai and the others that Wen Yuxia had given Wen Dashan four hundred taels of silver to build a house and buy land. She also told them that she would turn against anyone who didn't treat Wen Yuxia and her siblings as her own children.

So, watching the Wen family members escort Wen Yuxia and her brother away, Wen Yunhai was completely dumbfounded. How could his mother and uncles not see him standing here?

Wen Dashan turned around and laughed, "Yunhai, why aren't you leaving? What are you standing there for?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Yang turned around and laughed, scolding, "You clueless idiot, what are you standing there for? Do you expect me to come and fetch you in a sedan chair carried by eight men?"

From a young age, his parents told him to be considerate of his older brother and kind to his younger brother. Why? Just because he's the second child? Now, his mother only cares about his eldest daughter and youngest son. It's so satisfying to watch Wen Yunhai get his comeuppance.

Wen Yun Shen, the perennial runner-up, couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha, the eldest brother has finally fallen out of favor!"

Throughout the journey, Wen Yuxia took good care of him, providing him with delicious food and drink, and even bought him warm new cotton-padded clothes. Wen Yunhai had long since come to regard Wen Yuxia and Wen Yunhong as his own younger siblings.

His handsome face flushed slightly as he teased, "Mother, I have no problem with you spoiling Daya and Xiaoqi, but please don't neglect me too much!"

The next morning, Wen Dashan took his two sons to the county government office to register, while Wen Yuxia was also busy, leading Wen Yunhong to the back of the thatched shed with the three mules.

He selected three mule carts that were about 70% new from his storage space and harnessed them to the mule carts. He also placed the remaining 1,500 catties of coarse rice and black flour from his storage space onto the mule carts.

The coarse grains in the space were finally cleared out, and Wen Yuxia happily shouted, "Big cousin, second cousin, come and help!"

Hearing the commotion, Wen Yunhai, Wen Yunshen, and the rest of the Wen family's youngsters all stared wide-eyed at the mule cart and the sacks on it.

Only Wen Yunhong calmly said, "My sister went out early this morning with a mule to buy mule carts and grain for you. You must remember how good my sister is to you. If she is bullied by her husband's family in the future, you must remember to stand up for her."

"Da Ya is the only girl in the family. If her in-laws want to bully her, they'll have to ask us first," Wen Yunhai solemnly stated on behalf of all the brothers.

Wen Yun Shen brandished his fist and said fiercely, "If Da Ya's in-laws dare to bully her, I'll bring my brothers and beat them up."

……

A group of children were discussing their husbands' families and their own families, which Wen Yuxia found quite amusing. She said seriously, "If you want to protect me, strength alone isn't enough; you also need brains. Once things settle down, all of you will go to school."

She understood the principle that everyone prospers or suffers together. The Wen family had no genealogy; Old Master Wen only had two sons, Wen Dashan and Wen Zhihua, listed under his name.

Wen Dashan and Wen Zhihua have severed ties, and Wen Zhihua's children and grandchildren have no connection with Wen Dashan's family, no matter what they do.

If anyone in Wen Dashan's lineage commits a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of their family, her name is on that list.

Therefore, for the sake of her own life, and determined not to let her older and younger cousins ​​go astray, Wen Yuxia made a swift decision: her cousins' education must begin from a young age.

The news that they would go to school was such a huge surprise that it startled Wen Yuhai. He cautiously asked, "Little Sister Daya, are you really going to let us go to school?"

“Really,” Wen Yuxia nodded seriously, then continued, “studying will benefit you greatly… Even if you don’t pass the imperial examinations, you can still find a job in the city because you can write and do math.”

Wen Yuhai and his family understood the hardships their parents had endured. Given the opportunity to escape a life of backbreaking labor, anyone who didn't want to study would be a fool.

The crowd chattered amongst themselves as they expressed their determination to Wen Yuxia. Some said they would study hard to pass the imperial examinations, while others said they would learn to do business after they could write and calculate...

Watching her cousins ​​excitedly chatting about the future, Wen Yuxia nodded in satisfaction. Not bad, they are teachable!
