Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 258: The Wen Family (Part )

The house that everyone lives in now belongs to Wen Zhuomo. Wen Zhuomo and Shi Yanchun have three children, two boys and one girl. Their daughter is married and can only come back every weekend, but she has her own family and work to manage, so she usually comes back once every half month or a month.

One of their sons was temporarily living abroad for work, and the other son was Wen Nachuan's father. Because his workplace was close to the house, and because he was the eldest son, and his other brothers and sisters could not be at home often, and his parents were old, Wen Nachuan's father and his family of three lived with Shi Yanchun and Wen Zhuomo.

They lived separately a few years ago. Zhang Wenshu has been taking care of the two elderly people here and is a veteran employee here. Duan Yi is the aunt who has been following Wen Nachuan and taking care of him. She was brought here by Wen Nachuan's parents.

Since they started working together, the two of them never seemed to have completely lived in peace.

Duan Yi was speechless after hearing what Zhang Wenshu said. She was right. She had always done her work quietly and never slacked off or talked nonsense.

"Sister Zhang, you are right. I have nothing to say about this." Duan Yi said unconvincedly. After she cleaned the pumpkin for the second time, she put the pumpkin back in place and picked up the knife to continue killing the fish.

Zhang Wenshu stared at her for a while, and when she was sure she was not going to cause any trouble, she held Yu Ru and looked at the dishes. On the oven was a bowl of scallop and vegetable porridge, which was very filling, with shrimp, beef and pork piled high. "Xiao Ru, smell it, does it smell good? Do you want to eat it now?"

Yu Ru nodded and stretched her head to smell the bowl of porridge.

"Hey, be careful of the heat, don't touch the oven." Zhang Wenshu protected half of Yu Ru's face with one hand to prevent her from getting too close and getting burned.

At this time, Duan Yi suddenly spoke again, "Sister Zhang, I have to remind you that the host hasn't eaten yet, but you left food for this child. Isn't this just like giving leftovers to the master? Do you think it's appropriate? The etiquette rules should still be followed. After all, there is no order without rules. This child is from the countryside and doesn't know much, but you, an adult, have worked for the master for so long, don't you know the rules?"

Zhang Wenshu lost her patience at this point. She turned to look at Duan Yi, frowned and asked seriously: "Duan Yi, you're not done yet, are you? You have to piss off an old man like me, and will you be satisfied only if I piss you off to death? Really..."

Duan Yi smiled, and her tone of voice became lighter as she looked at her. "Sister Zhang, please don't say that. I can't handle such a big hat."

Zhang Wenshu ignored her, put Yu Ru down, picked up the bowl of porridge on the oven, and walked out, directly inviting Yu Ru to eat. "Xiao Ru, come out and eat something first." Yu Ru did not go out, she stood there motionless, staring at Duan Yi with obvious anger in her eyes.

Duan Yi noticed her gaze, and she spoke with contempt, not taking her seriously at all. "Little friend, don't look at me like that, it's scary."

"Xiao Ru, come quickly!" Outside the kitchen, Zhang Wenshu called Yu Ru to get her things out. Yu Ru still didn't go out. She lowered her head and took out a pen and paper from her pocket, then pressed the paper against the wall and began to write.

Zhang Wenshu waited outside for a long time for Yu Ru to come out, so she went back to the kitchen to check on the situation. She saw Yu Ru lying on the wall writing something. "Xiao Ru, what are you writing?"

Yu Ru didn't respond, but just tried to write. After a while, she walked to Duan Yi with the note, held it up and motioned for her to look at it.

Duan Yi didn't take it. She looked down at the note, which read: Auntie, it was Brother Xiaochuan's mother who asked me to come for dinner. Don't say such harsh words to bully Auntie Zhang. You and Auntie Zhang have clearly divided your work. She doesn't delay you. Why do you always provoke Auntie Zhang? Leave a line today so that we can meet again in the future. Why always blame others? Malice may make you feel happy, but it will never make you feel happy forever. Honesty and friendliness are the development that society pursues. If you can't keep up with the development of the times, you will be eliminated.

After reading this, Duan Yi became so angry that her breathing became unstable. She put the knife hard on the chopping board and raised her other hand to attack Yu Ru.

"You are a child who can't speak, but you are born with a clever tongue. You are so vicious. You dare to curse me like that. You are so mean! And you lied, right? If the wife asked you to come to eat, why didn't I receive the message she sent? You deserve a lesson."

"Duan Yi! Calm down!" Zhang Wenshu wanted to pull any of them apart, but Duan Yi was too quick and Yu Ru was too slow, so the thing she least wanted to see happened. Yu Ru was knocked to the ground by her slap, and one of her hands suddenly became limp and looked like it was broken. Her expression was also quite painful.

The Wen family was in some kind of chaos at this moment. The kitchen was in a mess, and Wen Nachuan's room was also a mess.

"All of you go away. I don't want to see you." Wen Nachuan was throwing a tantrum in his room. He grabbed anything and threw it on the ground. In a short while, the floor was in a mess.

"Wen Nachuan, stop throwing things, stop now!" Wen Shuchen put his hands in front of him to prevent himself from being accidentally injured by the things thrown by Wen Nachuan, and walked towards him at the same time.

Wen Nachuan seemed to be in a state of confusion. Half of what he saw in front of him was the familiar outlines of his parents, while the other half was blurry and hazy, with three black shadows of different sizes swaying. His father's words sounded like a harsh explosion in his ears, but he ignored them and continued to do what he was doing.

"Boom-"

Suddenly, a dull crash sounded, followed by the sound of broken porcelain. "Shu Chen!" Qi Zhaolin held Xiao Hai and walked quickly to the clerk to check the situation.

Wen Nachuan woke up as if from a dream, regained his sanity and stopped throwing things. He looked at his father and saw that there was a red and swollen spot on his forehead, and there was some bleeding. It should be that he was hit by something he had just thrown.

"Dad... I... I didn't mean it." He stared at the clerk in a daze. He wanted to go forward and take a closer look at his wound, but his feet felt as if they were filled with lead and he couldn't move.

"Mom... I, I,... I'm sorry." He went to see his mother again, trying to seek some shelter from her, but he saw a kind of disappointment in her eyes, which made him very scared.

The clerk wiped the cold spot on his forehead, turned over his fingers and saw blood all over. A strong fishy smell filled the air. "Go out first, go out and deal with it. There is so much blood. Let's go to the hospital later. If the fragments pierce the flesh, it will be bad." Qi Zhaolin held the child in one hand and pushed the clerk's arm with the other hand.

"Zhao Lin, take Xiao Hai out first, don't scare the child." Wen Shuchen shook his bloody hand, turned to look at Wen Nachuan, and said helplessly: "Wen Nachuan, you come out first."

Wen Nachuan nodded and moved forward slowly.
