Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

When Wen Zhaosheng came out, he was in a bad state. Although he had only been inside for one night, he kept thinking about what would happen if no one came to rescue him.

"Where's Xiaojuan?" He glanced dejectedly behind the Wen family members, but didn't see Zhou Xiaojuan.

“Your father didn’t let her come. What good can a woman do?” Qian Dongying felt a pang of sympathy for Wen Zhaosheng’s miserable state, after all, he was her son.

She took Wen Zhaosheng's hand and said, "My son, you've suffered so much today. When we get back, I'll cook you a meal."

Chen Runming glanced at the Wen family with disdain, didn't even say goodbye, thanked the police, and left directly.

Qian Dongying couldn't help but say, "They're really heartless. Aren't they afraid of getting retribution for taking money they shouldn't have?"

Then he spat again.

Chen Gang quickly grabbed Chen Runming, who was about to explode in anger, and said, "Don't be like this, they did it on purpose."

He turned and gave Qian Dongying a warning look, saying, "What? You old hag, are you trying to kill yourself? What kind of good person would hand over the son of a murderer?"

"You, it's you, right? I heard you work in a textile factory. My brother works there too. Do you want me to ask him to help spread the word about your family?" Chen Gang looked at Wen Zhaoyuan with ill intent.

Wen Zhaoyuan smiled with a frustrated expression, "My mother isn't very bright, please don't take it to heart."

When Wen Ji saw that Wen Zhaoyuan had suffered such a great loss, he slapped Qian Dongying across the face again, and now everyone's attention was focused on Qian Dongying.

"What are you doing? Causing trouble in front of the police station?" The old policeman looked at the Wen family with displeasure.

Wenji looked at the policeman with a fawning expression and said, "My wife at home is being unreasonable, so I'm disciplining her."

"This is your family's private matter. If you have something to say, go talk to them. Don't cause trouble here!"

"Yes, yes, we'll go now." Wen Zhaoyuan shook his head, signaling Wen Ji to stop talking.

Chen Runming was no longer angry. Old Man Wen's slap was really satisfying; it sounded painful. It seemed that the old woman's words in the Wen family didn't count.

Qian Dongying has already lost face twice, and this time it happened in front of so many outsiders. Who knows what kind of rumors will spread about her in the future?

The family drifted further and further apart.

"If you can't control your mouth when you're out and end up harming my son, see how I deal with you! I think you've had too many wives at home these past few years and think life is too easy!" He was utterly humiliated.

Judging from that man's tone, his brother might have quite a bit of influence in the factory. If the Wen family's affairs are really publicized in the factory, Wen Zhaoyuan's chances of promotion will be completely over.

Wen Zhaoyuan had worked diligently in the factory for so many years, and he knew very well how difficult it was. His family had no connections, so they could only rely on Liu Ping's family to help them find ways to connect with people.

This stupid woman thinks she can harm her son with just a few words? Don't even think about it!

Qian Dongying, however, did not think so. All she had done for the Wen family over the years, painstakingly managing everything, was not even worth a few words of instigation from others.

Time and time again, they treat her like she's not human!

"Mother," Wenxianggu said humbly as she helped her up.

Qian Dongying felt increasingly wronged as she thought about it, and she cried all the way, but none of her three sons said a word to show her any concern.

In the past, Wen Zhaoyuan might have offered her some comfort, but in his heart, he was quite dissatisfied with Qian Dongying's actions just now.

She deserves to be criticized and has no one to blame but herself; she never thinks before she speaks.

He'll get himself into trouble sooner or later.

Wen Zhaoyuan no longer wanted to concern himself with family matters. Liu Ping was right; it would be best for him to leave the Wen family as soon as possible and move to the city.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble the second and fourth brothers would have caused.

If they make a big fuss, my family will just buy a house in advance and bring my father over. As for my mother, we'll leave her to them.

He couldn't possibly support two elderly people all at once; he only supported his father because of all the sacrifices his father had made for him over the years.

As for the others, he couldn't offer a single sincere word.

Qian Dongying's sobs grew louder and louder.

Wenji's patience was wearing thin. "Enough! Are you ever going to stop? You still have the nerve to cry? Look at the kind of thing you've done as a mother!"

Wen Xianggu dared not plead for Qian Dongying in front of Wen Ji, because she knew that the real person in charge of the Wen family was Wen Ji, not Qian Dongying, who used to boss people around in the village.

Fortunately, there were no acquaintances around today, otherwise my mother would never be able to hold her head up in front of the villagers again.

How embarrassing would that be?

The family rode in an oxcart for a long time, and it wasn't until the afternoon that they arrived home.

Wen Zhaozhang pushed open the door to his home.

"What... what's going on? Why is it all blood? Where are the people?" He was confused.

Wen Zhaoyuan couldn't help but feel a little alarmed. "I'll go ask someone..."

Before long, Wen Zhaoyuan's two sons were found by Wen Zhaozhang. The two children were so frightened that they hid in the closet, too scared to move...

—Chenjia Village

"You guys didn't see how badly Qian Dongying was beaten back then. I always thought this old man Wen was a refined person, but I didn't expect him to fight like that. He's obviously someone who fights often." Chen Runming told the story with great interest.

Xu Xiaomo was still sewing the garment she was working on, and it was almost finished. "You've said that five times since you came back."

"Looks like you've really gotten over it today." With that, he bit off the end of the thread.

Then she took out the money that Chen Xuyan had just asked her to count from her pocket and handed it to Chen Xuyan, saying, "Take this money. Find a good woman to take care of you and Weizhen."

Her opinion of Chen Xuyan has completely changed now.

Chen Xuyan took the money and counted out forty yuan from a pile of small and large coins, placing it on the shirt that Xu Xiaomo had sewn for him.

"Sister-in-law, take this money and pay off the debts you incurred while building the house."

“I know you have enough money to pay back the debts. With this money, you'll be more financially secure and can take things one step at a time.”

Xu Xiaomo's eyes reddened, and she pushed the money back, saying, "Your kindness is enough. Your sister-in-law and brother don't want your money."

Chen Runming nodded, his voice choked with emotion, and said, "You've really grown up. Listen to your sister-in-law."

He stopped Chen Xuyan from handing over the money again.

“Brother, I know your wages have been reduced. You should learn a trade instead. Use this money to learn one. Doing manual labor will shorten your lifespan. We have money now, we don’t need to suffer like this.”

"Don't refuse, I have something else to tell you..."

The three children quietly covered their mouths and continued eavesdropping, but they all had smiles on their faces.

Children from poor families mature early; they can understand what adults mean very early on.
