Chapter 2979 Wen Ju'an's father comes knocking!
Wang Yue then realized that even the wisest can make a mistake.

He only thought that he had made things clear and that neither family would misunderstand, completely forgetting that some people are good at making unfounded accusations.

Wang Yue thought about it for a moment, but decided he wasn't ready to take the blame right away, so he deliberately spoke in an uncertain tone.
"It's nothing, is it? Maybe it's just my son and niece dating."

Wen Qinghua really thought highly of Wang Yuelai as her brother-in-law. After all, for a scholarly family like theirs, marriage partners naturally had to be of equal social standing. Unlike her own sister, who had married a country boy, it was like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.

No, it should be flowers stuck in rocks. These flowers can't absorb any nutrients at all and will wither and die sooner or later.

Wen Qinghua knew Wang Yue's situation very well. After his wife died, he raised his children alone. Not only did he get into university, but he also taught his eldest son to get into university. His other children also had good grades.

This clearly shows that a scholarly family is gradually taking shape!
But now that Wang Yue is willing to put his own son forward, Wen Qinghua understands that Wang Yue probably really doesn't want to marry his sister.

Wen Qinghua was also a carefree person. Although he felt some regret, he outwardly agreed with Wang Yue's words and said in a somewhat annoyed tone,
“The other two are several years older than you. You’d say your son is better than your eldest son.”

Seeing Wen Qinghua say this, Wang Yue said helplessly, "In the past, girls would get married at fourteen or fifteen, so don't underestimate your niece's charm."

I know my son well; he's always been preoccupied with taking care of his younger siblings and hasn't been able to focus on his own affairs.

Now that I've agreed to take your niece to school every day, it's impossible for me not to like her at all.

When Wen Qinghua heard Wang Yue say this, she thought of how hard Qiao Yicheng used to study every day, and felt that Wang Yue wasn't lying to her. So she smiled and said, "If that's the case, then you and my sister really aren't a good match!"

Seeing that he had finally convinced Wen Qinghua, Wang Yue, also curious, changed the subject and said...

"From my interactions with her over this period of time, I get the feeling that your niece harbors resentment towards your sister."

I think your ex-brother-in-law must have said a lot of bad things about your sister in front of your niece, otherwise this situation would not have occurred.

Your sister is a serious person and wouldn't tell your niece about the past. I think your uncle has a responsibility to talk to her about it; otherwise, your niece, such a good young girl, will be ruined.

Generally, two people of equal status will listen to each other's opinions when they are talking.

Like Wen Qinghua, Wang Yue entered university after the resumption of the college entrance examination. Now he has been promoted to associate professor, which has made his words carry much more weight with Wen Qinghua than before.

After hearing this, he became very serious. After leaving Wang Yue, he took the opportunity to personally pick up Wen Ju'an, who had just finished school, and the two had a good talk.

Through her conversation with Wang Yue, Wen Qinghua learned that when talking to such a rebellious little girl, one needs to be fair; otherwise, she won't listen to a single word.

Therefore, Wen Qinghua also recounted the grievances between the two families, stating that in the past, Wen Ju'an's grandfather's family had been of great help to the Wen family.

However, in recent years, the Wen family has also provided a lot of help to Wen Ju'an's grandfather's family, at least they were not targeted during the liquidation.

As for the relationship between Wen Qingping and Wen Ju'an's father, it was based on mutual benefit, so it was very indifferent.

Wen Qinghua also objectively stated that Wen Ju'an's father was unambitious and even wanted Wen Qingping to stay in the countryside, which was the root cause of the conflict between the two.

After Wen Qinghua finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Ju'an, think about it, how could a talented girl like your mother possibly stay in the countryside for the rest of her life?"

Think about it, if you were to stay in the countryside, would you be willing?

Wen Ju'an moved to the city with his mother when he was six or seven years old. Now, five or six years have passed, and he has almost forgotten his childhood life in the countryside.

However, Wen Ju'an still vaguely remembered the rural environment, and she felt that she probably wouldn't want to go to the fields to work every day like before.

Thinking of this, Wen Ju'an felt a little more at ease, but she still didn't reconcile with her mother! However, when she had something on her mind, she would talk to people she trusted, such as Qiao Sanli and Qiao Yicheng.

When Qiao Sanli got home, she told Wang Yue about Wen Ju'an's situation, and then said with distress,

"Dad, why is Wen Ju'an's mother so strict with him? Wen Ju'an said that no matter what he does, he has to listen to his mother's arrangements, which makes him feel very depressed. He is not as free as he was when he was in the countryside."

Wang Yue felt it was time to instill values ​​in his child, so he said very solemnly,

"Actually, the reason why Wen Ju'an's mother was so strict with her was because of her father."

I think that Wen Ju'an's mother was forced to marry a rural man for protection, and she was actually unwilling in her heart, even regarding it as a stain on her reputation.

Therefore, she didn't want to admit this, so she wanted to reform Wen Ju'an's father, at least into his perfect husband, so that she could tell others that he married for love, not for profit.

However, Wen Ju'an's father was clearly unambitious or unable to meet Wen Ju'an's mother's demands, so the two got divorced, which further amplified Wen Ju'an's mother's stain!

Therefore, Wen Ju'an's mother was unwilling to give up and placed her hopes on Wen Ju'an.

Only if Wen Ju'an becomes a daughter her mother approves of can her mother somewhat wash away her stain, which is why he is becoming increasingly stubborn.

Qiao Sanli is now at the age where her emotions are stirring. After listening to Wang Yue's detailed account, she said gravely,

"Dad, is this the concept of 'marrying someone of equal social standing' that you told me about last time?"

Wang Yue smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, being well-matched in social status isn't necessarily the right thing to do, but not being well-matched will definitely lead to a tragedy for one of the parties involved!"

Qiao Sanli listened thoughtfully, but she wasn't thinking about dating right now, so she didn't think much of it.
But the younger Qiao Simei listened intently, and suddenly she became a little melancholy!
Wang Yue noticed Qiao Simei's state and said in surprise, "Simei, you're only ten years old. Don't tell me you're already planning to date!"

"I'm eleven!"

Qiao Simei almost instinctively retorted, then noticed Wang Yue's strange expression and quickly said, "Dad, I'm not dating anyone, really not!"

Thinking of what happened in the TV series, Wang Yue immediately said, "You're not dating, but do you have a boy you like?"

Qiao Simei quickly denied it, "No, really no!"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yue said very solemnly, "Qiao Simei, let me tell you, the circle of life is like a small pond. Those handsome boys in it only look handsome in this school."

Once you leave this school and go to another school, you'll find there are even more handsome guys there!

Since you like handsome boys, then study hard. Look around the university campus—there are so many good-looking guys there, way more than those little brats in elementary school!

Qiao Sanli quickly chimed in, "Si Mei, don't you really like those Hong Kong stars? When you grow up, wouldn't it be better to date one of them?"

It has to be said that the older sister understands her younger sister best. Qiao Simei didn't care at all about Wang Yue's earnest advice, but she actually took Qiao Sanli's talk about dating celebrities to heart.

Therefore, Qiao Simei showed an even stronger attitude towards learning and training than before. In her words, she wanted to find a male celebrity in the best possible condition.

Qiao Sanli was in much better shape. She had never thought about dating, or rather, the kind of boy she wanted was either like her brother or like Wang Yue. She didn't even look at the other boys her age.

Wang Yue was completely relieved and focused his attention on Qi Qi. However, despite his continued attention, Qi Qi's episodes on television never materialized.

While Wang Yue was focusing on the child, he never expected that he would be targeted.

When Wang Yue returned home that day, he suddenly heard a lot of noise at his doorstep; the neighbors' families were all talking about...
"I never expected that Teacher Qiao's two children, who are so quiet and gentle, would be so skilled in martial arts."

“I’ve long felt that they have unusual physiques. I’ve heard that their family gets up early every morning to exercise.”

"Yes, I've seen them practicing martial arts in the park. I thought it was just fancy footwork, but I didn't expect it to be real kung fu."

"..."

"Give it!"

Wang Yue suddenly had a bad feeling. He shouted and squeezed through the crowd. He then saw Qiao Erqiang pressing down on a thin man, his eyes full of smugness.

The man's mouth was still stuffed with something, so he couldn't shout anything.

After Wang Yue arrived, he frowned and asked, "Erqiang, what exactly happened?"

When Qiao Erqiang saw that it was Wang Yue, he immediately said excitedly, "Dad, this old man should be Sister Wen's father. He suddenly barged into our house and acted like a rogue, saying that you should give his wife back to him."

But you haven't seen Aunt Wen since your last blind date. I was worried that his shouting would hurt you, so I stopped him.

Hearing this, Wang Yue was quite pleased, so instead of criticizing him, he earnestly said,

"Alright, let him go now. I want to say a few words to him."

Qiao Erqiang obediently released the man, pulled the rag out of the man's mouth, and threw it on the windowsill next to him.

The man spat several times, still feeling his mouth was not clean, and his face turned very pale.

Wang Yue was taller than the man, and he looked down at him and said...
"Wen Qingping and I only went on one blind date, and we haven't been in contact since. Besides, I'm sure she went on more than just one blind date."

Instead of causing trouble here, you should focus on improving yourself. Otherwise, Wen Qingping will never be with you.

Seeing that Wang Yue was tall and strong, the man knew he was no match for him and was worried that if he continued to cause trouble, he would be beaten up by the kid, so he could only slink away.

Wang Yue hadn't originally taken this matter to heart, but when Qiao Sanli returned later with Wen Ju'an and heard about it, she spoke to Wen Ju'an with great dissatisfaction.

"Wen Ju'an, I considered you a friend, and you actually betrayed my father! From this day forward, I sever all ties with you!"

Wen Ju'an tried to explain, but Qiao Sanli completely ignored her, leaving her no choice but to go home alone. Coincidentally, Qiao Yicheng also returned home at that moment. Seeing Wen Ju'an walking out alone, he quickly followed her.

Seeing this, Qiao Sanli became angry with her brother for the first time.

Qiao Yicheng was unaware that he had angered his sister. Later, after dropping Wen Ju'an off, he even tried to reprimand Qiao Sanli as the older brother.
"Sanli, you went too far today. Wen Ju'an is your classmate, how could you just let him go home alone like that?"

Qiao Sanli wasn't stupid; she naturally understood that her brother liked Wen Ju'an, so she said with dissatisfaction,
“Wen Ju’an used me to get his father to come to our door, and you’re still siding with her!”

Qiao Yicheng was somewhat incredulous, so he corrected her, saying, "Wen Ju'an certainly didn't do it on purpose. She didn't expect her father to come back."

Upon hearing Qiao Yicheng's words, Qiao Sanli immediately retorted angrily, "Qiao Yicheng, let me tell you, if you want Wen Ju'an to be my sister-in-law, I will not accept it!"

After she finished speaking, she went straight back to her room, not wanting to chat with her lustful brother at all.

Qiao Simei also shook her head, like a little adult, and said as she walked into the house, shaking her head, "Big brother, I'm also very disappointed in you!"

Seeing that her two older sisters both said the same thing, Qiao Qiqi shook her head and said something along with them.
"Brother, I'm disappointed too!"

Qiao Yicheng had no idea what had happened. Unwilling to discipline his two younger sisters, he picked up Qiao Qiqi, lightly patted her bottom, and then said in a slightly annoyed tone...

"You brat, I felt so sorry for you, and you're so heartless."

Although Qiao Qiqi was young, he was quite sensible. Seeing that Qiao Yicheng didn't seem to understand, he said with dissatisfaction,
"Brother, Sister Wen's father came to our house and caused trouble. It must be Sister Wen talking about our family's position, so I don't recognize this sister-in-law!"

Qiao Yicheng hadn't expected this. He still couldn't quite believe it. He turned to look at Qiao Erqiang and asked, "Erqiang, is what Qiqi said true?"

Qiao Erqiang nodded and said solemnly, "Really, when her father came, I was the one who held him back, which prevented it from becoming a huge scandal."

After hearing this, Qiao Yicheng suddenly felt that the halo of white moonlight around Wen Ju'an had faded a bit. He didn't expect that he would be used. He was very depressed and stopped seeing Wen Ju'an off. Their first love ended without a trace.

However, Wen Ju'an's father's big fuss also brought trouble to Wang Yue, because some people actually thought that Wang Yue was having an affair with a married woman, which gave him some peace and quiet.

However, it seems that the Red Phoenix Star has been activated, as Wang Yue's romantic encounters are never-ending.

That day, Wang Yue noticed that Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei were huddled together, each holding a notebook, and he could hear them discussing poetry from a distance.

"What do you think of this poem?"

"I feel it has a very artistic conception."

"I didn't expect that someone who isn't very handsome could write such good poetry."

"..."

Wang Yue thought that some girls at this time would be attracted to these things, so he felt that it was necessary to improve their aesthetic sense.

So he sat down on the sofa not far from the two of them, and said with a smile,

"Modern poetry is just a matter of using more commas and dashes; it's nowhere near as beautiful as classical poetry."

Qiao Simei was unconvinced and immediately retorted, "Dad, those are all old-fashioned ideas. Ancient poems are beautiful, but modern poems also have a lot of artistic conception. You are an engineer, so don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

Wang Yue was waiting for Qiao Sanli to refute him. He decided to give her two children a proper lesson, so he casually recited a modern poem.

……

The old shirt you left behind

The chair backs are arranged like waiting masts.
I tried to take the buttons apart.
Like untying the knot of moonlight

Suddenly something was floating.
The curtains rolled up in the arc of late autumn.

The wardrobe exudes an entire forest of camphor trees.

It's as if you just turned and left.
……

After Wang Yue finished reciting the entire poem, he looked into the distance with a melancholy gaze, as if he were thinking about the past.

Of course, Wang Yue was thinking of his wife in another world, because both were memories, and the sentiments were the same.

Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei have been reading poetry frequently lately, but of course, understanding it doesn't make sense here.
Qiao Sanli immediately went to Wang Yue's side and asked with some melancholy, "Dad, are you missing Mom?"

Qiao Simei reacted a little slower, but she still quickly sat down on the other side of Wang Yue and hurriedly said,

"Dad, you still have us!"

Seeing that the two of them immediately understood the meaning of the poem, Wang Yue smiled and said,
"Yes, I still have you all. You will grow up sooner or later, and you will get married sooner or later. When that time comes, I will be all alone."

Qiao Sanli didn't know how to comfort him. She felt that she had brought up the topic and upset her father, so she quickly asked,

"Dad, your modern poems are really good, so why don't you publish them?"

Wang Yue knew his chance had come, and immediately said solemnly, "Sanli, poetry is an expression of a person's feelings. Just write it down and savor it yourself."

So, you can like poetry, but you don't need to care so much about the people who write poetry. Don't be like some girls who idolize celebrities.

Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei then realized that their father had been beating around the bush for so long, but he was still worried about them dating too early. So the two girls looked at each other and immediately asked Wang Yue, "Dad, can you write classical Chinese poems?"

"Right, Dad? Didn't you say that modern poetry doesn't have stories? Can you write classical poetry?"

When Qiao Qiqi saw his two older sisters saying this, he knew they were teasing their father about writing poetry. He couldn't help but sit opposite them, resting his chin on his hand, and watch his father and two older sisters chat. He didn't even bother to do his homework.

There are some things that children shouldn't hear. Wang Yue originally thought that Qi Qi was a more mature child, so when he was chatting with Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei, he didn't avoid talking about Qi Qi. However, he didn't expect that this would leave him with a problem.

……

When Qiao Qiqi returned that day, he was clearly in a low mood, but he had been quiet the whole time, so Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei didn't notice.

Just then, everyone heard a knock at the door, followed by a woman's clear voice.

"Is this Qiao Qiqi's house?"

Qiao Qiqi's expression changed instantly. He quietly slid off the sofa to the floor and tiptoed towards the house.

Wang Yue had been watching Qiao Qiqi's movements closely. When he saw that Qiao Qiqi wanted to leave after hearing the sound outside the door, he immediately realized that it was probably her teacher.

So, he simply walked over, tucked Qiao Qiqi under his arm, and said as he walked towards the door,
"Qiqi, did you get into some trouble?"

"No no!"

Qiao Qiqi quickly waved his hand, and after speaking, he thought of the teacher outside the door, so he shook his head in annoyance and lowered his head.

Wang Yue was amused by the little guy. He walked over to open the door and noticed the girl outside. His eyes lit up. The girl was really pretty.

Wang Yue very politely stepped aside and said, "Are you Qi Qi's teacher? Please come in!"

After the girl walked in, she smiled and said, "I am Qiqi's teacher, Chang Xingyu. There are some things I want to tell you about Qiqi."

Qiao Sanli poured Chang Xingyu a glass of warm water before taking the initiative to ask, "Teacher Chang, I am Qiqi's older sister. This is my father and my younger sister. Please feel free to ask me anything."

Chang Xingyu said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's like this, I heard Qiqi and his classmates reciting poems today, but I've never heard of them before, so I asked him, and he said it was his father who made them."

I greatly admire those poems, so I took the initiative to come and visit. Is what Qiqi said true?

When Qiao Sanli heard about this, she was worried that Wang Yue would beat up Qi Qi, so she said, "Teacher Chang, please wait a moment."

After she finished speaking, she returned to her and Qiao Simei's bedroom and took out a booklet from her own study desk.

Qiao Sanli placed the booklet on Chang Xingyu's desk before smiling and saying,

"Teacher Chang, could you take a look and see if these are the poems listed here?"

"Then I'm not welcome!"

Chang Xingyu took the booklet from the table and gently opened it. What came into view was a painting and a modern poem.

This poem is the one about missing his wife, and the painting next to it depicts a lively scene of a large family.

Chang Xingyu herself had excellent upbringing, and she was immediately drawn to the painting. She couldn't help but look up at Wang Yue and ask,

"I didn't know Mr. Qiao was also skilled at painting! I feel that some masters can't even compare to you!"
