Chapter 9 Returning to the Wu Family with Different Minds
Wu Hongwen took Wu Xin'an's hand and walked in. Guan's mother hugged the little yellow dog from behind, and the things they responded were moved out of the car by Wu Cheng and Cheng Gui.
The servant who was guarding the door had already stood beside him waiting for the master's house to return home, and he was bent down to salute him.
"Master, you are back! Miss, you are back!"
"Um!"
Wu Hongwen nodded and said to Wu Xin An's words,
"This is Wu Ping, who is guarding the door, and Wu Cheng's eldest son..."
He saw Wu Xinan's gaze sweeping over one of Wu Ping's feet, and he pulled his daughter in and whispered,
"Wu Ping was very naughty when she was young. Once she fell from a tree and injured her leg. When she grew up, she was always a little bad. My father wanted him to follow him as a servant..."
The most important thing for the servants around the master is to be flexible in their legs and feet, and they can communicate with each other. However, Wu Ping was lame and could not do heavy work, so he could only guard the door at home.
The two of them went in and until the front of the Hanghuamen, and saw a young woman holding a baby in her arms, leading a few children beside her, and she had already waited there. She saw the father and daughter in from afar and bowed with a smile.
"The master is back!"
"Father...father...you are back!"
The children around her were busy celebrating when they saw Wu Hongwen. Wu Hongwen nodded with a smile, let go of Wu Xin'an's hand, reached out and touched the heads of several children.
"Well... OK..."
While nodding, he pulled Wu Xinan over and said with a smile,
"An An, this is your stepmother and your biological mother's sister..."
Wu Xinan looked up at the woman and was born with beautiful facial features and slender figures. She was wearing a light pink dress. The long gown of the top and the ankle. She was thinly closed at her waist, making her look even more slender. There were no extra accessories on her head except a jade hairpin.
Wu Xinan looked at the woman's younger brothers and sisters. Because Wu Hongwen and Xiao Cheng were both thin and slender people, Wu Xinan was also tall and thin. The three sisters were born more like Wu Hongwen, but the two younger brothers followed Xiao Cheng's eyebrows.
When it comes to their facial features, none of them are as round and cute as her, with bright eyebrows and eyes. Wu Xin'an sighed in her heart,
"Speaking of this, we are both the same father and the same grandfather, how come we don't look like each other at all?"
Xiao Cheng hugged her youngest daughter Youzhen and stepped forward and smiled at Wu Xinan.
"An An finally came home. Now our family is reunited!"
Wu Hongwen nodded with a smile and said to Wu Xin,
"An An will give your mother a greeting!"
Wu Xinan nodded, stepped forward and said blessed Xiao Cheng's blessing,
"Mother Da'an!"
Xiao Cheng nodded,
"Good boy!"
The mother Guan, behind Wu Xin'an, also came up to greet Xiao Cheng.
"Miss Five!"
Xiao Cheng glanced at Guan’s mother and smiled very gently.
"I haven't seen Mom for many years, but I've been lucky enough!"
Guan Mama lowered her head and replied,
"I wish you good luck to Miss, I have taken care of my body in the mountains!"
Xiao Cheng nodded with a smile, and asked the children around him to salute the elder sister. Wu Yuanzhen and Lianzhen were seven years old and five years old. They came up together to be blessed.
"Sister, okay!"
The sisters had delicate facial features, and they were also very magnanimous in their actions. They looked very well educated by Xiao Cheng. Their two younger brothers Wu Huaide were eight years old, and Wu Xianrong was very lively at the age of four. They came up and bowed quickly. Wu Xianrong came to the scene and looked up at Wu Xin'an carefully. However, Wu Huaide pointed to Wu Xin'an's face and said loudly to Wu Hongwen.
"Dad, she doesn't look like you at all!"
Before Wu Hongwen could speak, Xiao Cheng had already frowned slightly and shouted to his son in a low voice.
"Dalang must not be rude to his sister!"
After saying that, he looked at Wu Xinan's face carefully and said softly,
"Don't blame An'an, your eldest brother is still young and not very sensible..."
Wu Xinan looked disrespectful to Wu Huaidedao.
"Don't you look like your father, too?"
Wu Huaide responded,
"I look like my mother..."
After saying that, he was very proud and said with a small breast,
"My mother said that I will be a handsome man when I grow up!"
Wu Xinan rolled his eyes and replied,
"I look like my mother, too!"
"Where is your mother?"
Wu Huaide asked curiously, and Wu Xinan rolled his eyes again and pointed at the sky.
"My mother is in heaven!"
Wu Huaide then looked up at the sky.
"Where is it? Why can't I see it?"
Wu Hongwen was amused by his son's words and said, bent down and reached out to pick him up.
"Your elder sister's mother is your aunt, she is now in heaven!"
This room held his son with one hand and his eldest daughter with the other, and said to Xiao Cheng.
"Let's go in and pay tribute to my mother!"
Xiao Cheng nodded with a smile, hugged his little daughter and let him stand aside, watching Wu Hongwen lead Wu Xin'an into the footsteps, his eyes fell on Wu Xin'an's round body, his eyes flashed,
"This child... looks really like an older sister!"
Wu Hongwen took his wife and children into the inner hall first. The old lady of the Wu family had already received the news and was sitting upright waiting. Seeing his son coming in, there was a hint of joy on her face.
"Wen'er is back!"
Wu Hongwen responded and put down his son, led Wu Xinan forward.
"Mother, this is your eldest granddaughter An An..."
This time, Wu Xin'an didn't need anyone to teach him, so he knelt down and kowtowed,
"Grandma, An An kowtowed to you!"
The old lady of Wu family, Fu, looked down at her granddaughter whom she had not met in the past ten years. She first looked like her eldest grandson and looked at her for a while, but she couldn't find a trace of her son's appearance on Wu Xin'an's face, and said in her heart,
"It seems that he really looks like the Dacheng family!"
Speaking of Dacheng and the old lady Fu, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they have never met each other before, and they will be separated forever!
When Wu Hongwen was married outside, he wrote a letter to report to his mother that Fu was afraid that his son would indulge in love with his children and miss the imperial examination. He also wrote a letter to dissuade him. Wu Hongwen only acted on his own and did not obey his mother's orders. Seeing that his son had made up his mind, Fu knew that this matter was beyond his control. He had no choice but to raise some silver at home and ask someone to send it to the capital for his son to marry.
Although this daughter-in-law was married, one was in the capital and the other had never met in Jiangxi. She had thought that she could pick up her mother after Wu Hongwen was named on the list of gold, and then let her daughter-in-law kowtow to meet her. However, she did not expect that Dacheng died of labor and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had never had the chance to meet.
Because Wu Xin'an was born and her mother died, the old lady Fu was born in the village and believed in the sayings of gods and ghosts. She felt that the child had a relative and was a little displeased with her eldest granddaughter before she had seen her. Therefore, she had never seen her in person for so many years. Even Wu Hongwen went back to pick up her eldest granddaughter back home, and Mrs. Fu also disagreed with her and said to her son in private.
"The girl's family doesn't have much time to stay at her parents' house. She has been outside for ten years. She has been taking her back and said she will get married in three or four years. Why don't you take her back again? It's better to keep her outside and prepare more dowry when she gets married in the future!"
Wu Hongwen naturally refused, and shook his head and said,
"My mother's words are not up to her. An An has been outside for ten years. Her son has treated her badly. Now she has finally been able to go home. How can she still let her be outside? How unfair to her this way!"
But Fu frowned,
"You are just thinking about your eldest daughter, but you don't think about how many young people there are. Xiao Cheng has been following you for housework and serving you for the past few years, and it is also hard and tiring to work hard. It's not easy to be a stepmother, so you have to think about her!"
Wu Hongwen still shook his head and said,
"Don't worry, Mother, Xiao Cheng is a reasonable person, and An An is her nephew. I think she will treat An An well!"
When Mrs. Fu saw that her son was stubborn and refused to persuade her, she sneered in her heart.
"Another he is the cousin of his relatives, he was born to a woman before. Wen'er has been thinking about Da Cheng over the years. If Xiao Cheng doesn't have any knots in his heart, I am the first one who doesn't believe it!"
She didn't want Ke's mother's broom star to enter the door, but she couldn't resist her son, so she had to sigh and give up!
Mrs. Fu looked at her eldest granddaughter carefully today. Seeing that her facial features were so different from her son, she thought she was like her short-lived mother. She felt even more displeased. She sat on her head and looked at Wu Xin'an for a while, but she refused to scream. Wu Hongwen knew that I didn't like this child, but she couldn't embarrass her as soon as she entered the door. An An was only ten years old, so what's wrong?
Just as he was about to speak, Wu Xinan suddenly stood up, rubbed his knees and said to him with a bitter face.
"Father, I...my knee hurts!"
Seeing this, Wu Hongwen hurriedly said,
"Good boy, just kowtow to grandma and bow to you. Just get up!"
Seeing this, Mrs. Fu frowned, and hummed out of her nose, and said in her heart,
"It turns out that he is a girl raised in the countryside, I don't understand the rules at all!"
Wu Xinan got up from the ground and then looked up at her cheap grandmother.
This family is all thin, and the old lady Fu looks thin. Her face is a little long, her eyebrows are thick, her cheekbones are high, her lips are a little thin, and she looks very gloomy when she doesn't smile on her face. There is a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she is also fake. In short, when you look at this face, you will know that you are not the one who is easy to meet!
At this time, Wu Xinan had seen the appearance of the whole family and had a secret concern in her heart.
"This old woman can't get along with her. Xiao Cheng is like my stepmother before, and a ghost behind her back..."
As for the younger brothers and sisters below, except for the one who was still holding them in their arms, the rest were probably like their cheap stepmothers, who were smiling on their faces and slashing behind their backs.
