The fast-forward journey after seizing the traverser system
Chapter 44: Father of the Lucky Bag Control Group 7
"Is dinner ready?" Speak of the devil, Wang Shixian's nonchalant voice came from outside the door.
"It's almost done, almost done." Li Xiaohong replied hurriedly, and then busily started cooking.
"Squeak." The door opened, and Shi Yu saw his original brother who was not doing his job.
Different from Wang Shiyu's dark complexion, Wang Shixian was fair and clean, his clothes were clean without patches, and he looked wealthy. It was not easy for a farmer to raise such a person.
Shi Yu knew how favored this man was just by looking at him. He was just an ordinary farmer, and it was impossible for him to be raised to this state easily. It must have taken the support of the whole family to produce this kind of person.
Standing next to Wang Shixian was his wife Wei Hongni. She was the most beautiful girl in the village and was well taken care of. The Wei family had been waiting for a good price to sell her, but when they met Wang Shixian, they were trapped. The betrothal gift she gave was much more generous than those given by people in the city. Whenever there was something good, Wei Hongni would send a portion back to the Wei family.
The two of them standing together are pleasing to the eye, but they just feel out of place in this rural scene.
They came back early, so the work was easy for them and they finished it quickly, but their work points were correspondingly less, and since they were lazy from time to time, the two of them could only barely get enough work points for one person.
"Brother, you didn't go to work today, and you came back so early." Wang Shixian knew that Li Xiaohong was there, so he called him out in person. But what he didn't know was that Li Xiaohong couldn't do anything to him now.
"Oh, so you come back so early every day. No wonder you get so few work points." Shi Yu said with a smile, looking like he cared about his younger brother.
"You should work harder. You're already married, and you should build a career. If you have a child, how are you going to raise it?" Shi Yu didn't stop and continued talking. He said whatever touched his heart, and the key was that they were all caring words. No wonder everyone likes to criticize others. It feels so good to talk like this.
Wang Shixian didn't expect that his elder brother could be so sarcastic. He used to be unable to utter a word for a long time, but now every word he says hits people's heart.
"The meal is not ready yet. Wait a moment. Hongni, come in and help me cook. Hurry up." Li Xiaohong asked Hongni to cook. On the one hand, she didn't want to cook, and on the other hand, she hated the man who seduced her little son away.
When Wei Hongni heard this, she secretly poked Wang Shixian, signaling him to speak for her.
"Mom, Hongni looks so tired today." Wang Shixian spoke after getting Wei Hongni's hint. The couple had a good understanding of each other, and the little movements they developed were very covert and not discovered.
"Who isn't tired? I just got back too. What's wrong with me helping to cook?" Li Xiaohong was already very angry when Shi Yu contradicted her today. She felt that she was doing it all for Shixian, but Wang Shixian's heart and eyes were full of his wife, and he didn't care about her as a mother at all, so she became even angrier.
"Don't we have Xiaoye? She didn't go to work, so what's wrong with her helping with cooking?" They are indeed mother and son, they think alike.
Wang Shixian was also wondering why Wang Xiaoye wasn't the one cooking today. There used to be a lot of things to do about cooking, but it was only in recent months when Xiaoye started cooking that there were no more quarrels about this at home.
"I say you are such a good uncle. Xiaoye is only five years old, how can he cook?" Shi Yu said sarcastically. Everyone in this family is a top-notch person.
Wang Shixian was still wondering why his elder brother was so bold to speak today, as he usually didn't dare to say a word in front of his parents.
"Xiaocai needs to exercise and be more diligent so that it will be easier for him to find a husband in the future." Wang Shixian is the most unreasonable. He is good at talking and has a quick mind, otherwise why would Wang Jie and his wife like him the most.
"Yes, yes, only hard work can help you find a good marriage. Now practice more." Li Xiaohong thought her son was smart. Why didn't she think of this?
"My Xiaoye doesn't need to be diligent. You two said it when you arranged Shixian's wedding, that when Xiaoye gets married, your dowry must be based on Shixian's betrothal gift. No one can resist marrying her with such a dowry." Shi Yu would not indulge them. He knew that what they promised would not come true, but it was best to shut them up now.
When Wang Shixian got married, he spent a lot of money. In order to appease Wang Shiyu and Wang Shichao, the old couple promised this. Everyone in the family knew about it, but Shi Yu also knew that they would never be willing to do so and were just deceiving him. Only Wang Shiyu foolishly believed that what his parents said was true, and he thought to himself that his parents still loved him.
"What? You want to give this little girl so many things. I don't agree." Wei Hongni regarded all the things in this house as her own. She felt very uncomfortable when she was suddenly allowed to give away things. She said angrily.
Li Xiaohong and Wang Shixian were shocked when they heard that Wang Shiyu had been acting abnormally today, and instead of comforting him they angered him. What if he continued to behave like this in the future?
"No, no, don't listen to her nonsense. Xiaoye will definitely be given a generous dowry when she gets married." Wang Shixian said while pulling Wei Hongni's sleeve, asking her to talk less.
Wang Shixian felt that since there were still more than ten years left, he could just deny it when the time came. What was important was to get the benefits now.
"That's impossible. There is no girl in the village who has such a large dowry. This is definitely not possible." Wei Hongni knew that Wang Shixian didn't want her to say more, but since it involved her own interests, she didn't want to give in.
Or maybe Wei Hongni had been here for too short a time. Even though she knew that the whole family disliked Wang Shiyu, she thought that he was the eldest son after all, and no matter how much they disliked him, they would not use this matter to frame him. Besides, since it had been said out loud, it must be settled.
But Wei Hongni never expected that this family was so biased and really treated the eldest son harshly. Those words were really just to frame him, just to make them stop caring about Wang Shixian's marriage.
"Anyway, everyone knows about it, and my great uncle has witnessed it. If we don't do it when the time comes, everyone will be embarrassed." Shi Yu put the matter out in the open. The whole family knew about it, and Wang Shichao was even smarter. He even invited his great uncle Wang Dayong to witness it.
Wang Shichao had thought of this a long time ago, so he called Wang Dayong to witness it. He originally wanted to sign a written agreement, but Wang Jie and his wife always said that it was too formal for a family to do so, so he had no way to contradict them and could only settle for the next best thing.
What Wang Jie and his wife were thinking was that Xiao Ye was only five years old and it would take her another ten years to grow up, while Wang Shichao hadn’t even seen his child yet, so the wait would be even longer.
Wang Dayong is already over 70 years old. By that time, he may not be around anymore. Even if he is still around, he will be confused by then and his words will not count. This way, he can shirk his responsibility.
"Hmph!" Wei Hongni shook off Wang Shixian's hand, walked into the room angrily, and slammed the door shut with so much force that some of the wall paint peeled off.
