My whole family abuses me? Then I will abuse the whole family!

Mother Yan pursed her lips and said in a pleading tone, "If you want revenge, you can, but you can listen to my story first, okay?"

Wen Jing took a sip from the teacup and said, "I'm all ears."

Mother Yan talked about the past in a rambling way, "Back then, our Yan family didn't think about marrying into the Fang family, but instead wanted to marry into the An family."

"The An family originally agreed to let my daughter marry into their family, but my daughter was inexplicably entangled with Fang Hanchuan, and her brain was kicked by a donkey, and she would not marry anyone but Fang Hanchuan. Later, the matter inexplicably escalated, and it was also rumored that my daughter was secretly pregnant with Fang Hanchuan's child. How could the An family be willing to marry a woman with such a ruined reputation? I only have this one daughter, and it is impossible for the An family to marry a concubine's daughter."

"It's not that I haven't thought about getting my Yan family's descendants into government, but... they can only work at the grassroots level. No matter how much money we give them, they can't get the position we want. That's when I understood why merchants were ranked last among the three classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans."

"What choice do I have? I can only let my daughter marry Fang Hanchuan, that ungrateful wolf, and spend all my wealth to send him off."

"I don't need to say much about what happened later. Since I was able to send Fang Hanchuan up, I also have a way to make him fall down. At worst, both sides will be destroyed. He can only help the Yan family get back on its feet."

"At that time, our Yan family had the funds to make a comeback, but we just needed legal procedures to expand our business. It would be much easier for us to do business if he got promoted."

"I only found out about the Lin family's affairs later, because Fang Hanchuan suddenly asked me to take out a large sum of money to temporarily fill the account of a steel plant, and then take out the money after I got away with it. I was a little curious at that time, so I investigated and found out that he had someone murdered Director Lin in order to gain the management rights of the steel plant."

Wen Jing smiled, "Then why don't you report him? And help him settle the account?"

Yan's mother smiled bitterly, but her eyes were very open, "I admit that some of my methods are indeed not worthy of being mentioned above, but I am a businessman. If a businessman wants to do big business and survive in this world, he can only do this. But I have never thought of murdering others for profit. This is the bottom line of being a human being."

"If Fang Hanchuan goes bankrupt, our Yan family's business will be very difficult. I don't have any choice."

"Out of guilt towards the Lin family, I felt that if I hadn't sent Fang Hanchuan up there, would such a tragedy have happened? So I worked hard to make money, provide jobs for the people, and help build the country, so that I could feel better."

Wen Jing stared at her, as if trying to determine how sincere her words were.

a long time.

She sneered, her eyes slightly red, "You speak very high-soundingly, but what you did has anything to do with the Lin family? Their whole family is dead, all dead!"

"You are just letting your conscience down, but have you let the Lin family down?"

Seeing that she was a little crazy, Yan's mother made up her mind and said, "Yes, I am indeed sorry to the Lin family, and I am willing to take responsibility. Everyone has their own actions. If you want to vent your anger, just come to me and don't hurt irrelevant people."

Wen Jing looked at her attitude, raised her hand to touch the hair by her ears, and wiped away the tears from her eyes with her fingertips. "The Yan family is a bunch of losers. It's a blessing to marry you. If it weren't for your guilt, I really don't want to stop. I should let you taste the pain of genocide."

Yan Jinheng's face was dark and red. This young widow had a lovely face, but how come she had a mouth?

Mother Yan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled an even uglier smile than crying. "Thank you for showing mercy." Then she changed the subject and said, "Can I ask, what is the connection between you and the Lin family? Is it worth taking such a big risk?"

"The grace of rebirth."

The smile on Yan's mother's face froze. She had investigated Wen Jing's life. She was a country girl and had never had any contact with the Lin family. The only person who had some connection with them was Wang Dahai's ex-wife, Lin Zhen.

One of them is the ex and the other is the current one, and there is a ten-year gap between them. They have no connection at all, so how can it be considered a rebirth?

Wen Jing didn't want to explain anything more, so she changed the subject, "Then do you know what Fang Hanchuan did with the first sum of public funds embezzled from the steel plant?"

Mother Yan shook her head. "I don't know. I don't even know when he embezzled the public funds. I do know what he did with some of the public funds later. He wanted to support several other businessmen, but after Zhao Huairen died, the funding chain was broken, and those other businessmen were not supported."

Wen Jing lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then raised them again and stared at her, "Master Huo, do you want the Fang family to collapse?"

Yan's mother was stunned for a moment, her nose felt sore, and she looked at her in disbelief.

Then he looked resentful and said, "I do, of course I don't."

Wen Jing smiled and said, "Then we are a family now. You can secretly help those merchants who have not been helped up. Don't be too anxious. Just help them up slowly."

Yan Jinheng couldn't hold it in any longer, "Are you not mentally ill? Our Yan family has been harmed by you to such an extent, and now they are in dire straits, and you still want us to help them? Why?"

Wen Jing raised her chin slightly, "You are like a clay Buddha right now."

Mother Yan turned her head and glared at Yan Jinheng, then agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

"But please don't stab us in the back again. If you do it again, we will really fail and there will be no one left to stab us in the back."

Wen Jing looked innocent, "I really didn't stab you, why don't you believe me?"

The strict mother rolled her eyes secretly and said, "Just keep pretending."

......

On the way back, Yan Jinheng complained, "Mom, that young widow doesn't want to marry into the Fang family, so she wants to bring the Fang family down. It's fine if this woman is crazy, but why are you going crazy with her?"

Mother Yan looked out the window and said in a faint voice, "I have wanted to go crazy for a long time. When will this frustrating life end..."

Yan Jinheng was a little confused, "Mom, why are you so upset? Father respects you, Second Mom and Third Mom also listen to you, and everyone in the Yan family listens to your orders, so why are you so upset?"

The strict mother snorted, "What is my real name?"

"Huo Yinzhang."

"Everyone knows Master Yan, the head of the Yan family, so how do people outside call me?"

This question stumped Yan Jinheng, because those people called his mother Madam Yan or Grandma Yan.

No one ever called her by her original last name.

"Mom... that young widow has taken advantage of you with just one word: Huo is the head of the family? That shouldn't be the case, right?"

Huo Yinzhang was stunned. She could tell that he clearly understood what she meant, but his subconscious words showed that he was unwilling to affirm her ability.

In the final analysis, he simply did not acknowledge her contribution to the Yan family from the bottom of his heart, and only felt that all her efforts were taken for granted.

Wen Jing is willing to be affirmed by an outsider, but her own son is unwilling to affirm herself, and is not even willing to say a nice word, just relying on the fact that she is his biological mother and will not argue with him.

Suddenly I felt that after all my life’s struggle, what was it all for?

Huo Yinzhang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his tone somewhat cold, "Then am I worthy of being called the head of the Huo family?"
