Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Despite this, some female educated youth saw how hard Song Mengqiu was struggling and could not stand Lin Laosi's rude behavior.

Just when they were about to go forward to help, Zhang Shiling came out with Zhang Dabing.

Zhang Shiling saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "What happened?"

His voice was calm and gentle, but it attracted the attention of everyone present.

Everyone turned to look at them, confusion and surprise in their eyes.

Song Mengqiu widened her eyes and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. She thought Zhang Shiling was here to help her. Just as she was about to ask her for help, she heard Zhang Shiling's next words.

Zhang Shiling looked at Lin Laosi and Song Mengqiu with a smile, then turned to Lin Laosi and said, "Hey, Laosi, be gentle to your wife."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, making Song Mengqiu's face turn pale as paper in an instant.

She widened her eyes and looked at Zhang Shiling in disbelief, as if she didn't know this person.

She originally thought that Zhang Shiling would stand on her side and help her out, but she didn't expect him to say such a thing.

The educated youth around were also stunned. They didn't expect that Song Mengqiu was really dating Lin Laosi. Didn't they hear his friends say so?

They didn't know how to react for a moment, and the scene fell into an awkward silence.

The next morning, Yuan Wei opened her eyes as soon as it was light. She tried to get up, but was held tightly by a strong hand.

Then, the man's low and magnetic voice sounded softly in her ears, like an electric current passing through, making Yuan Wei's heart itch instantly.

"Sleep a little longer." Qi Jiayi said gently.

Yuan Wei shook her head and replied softly: "No, today is the first day, we have to get up early."

Qi Jiayi was silent for a moment, and finally decided to get up with Yuan Wei.

As he sorted out his clothes, he asked, "What are you going to do?"

Yuan Wei was busy getting dressed and casually replied, "Don't they say the new bride is responsible for making breakfast? Go to the kitchen and see what ingredients are available and make something to eat."

When Yuan Wei changed her clothes and was about to comb her hair, Qi Jiayi had already quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

Not long after, he came in with a basin of clean water, placed it on the table, then looked at Yuan Wei gently and said, "Wash up first."

When Yuan Wei walked into the kitchen, everyone else in the Qi family had already woken up, but no one showed any intention of coming out.

In Qi Jiayi's parents' room, Qi Laoshi leisurely smoked his pipe and slowly said, "I've said it before, Lao Wu's wife is not the kind of person who doesn't understand things. Look, isn't she quite well-behaved?"

Ma Jinlan sat aside, her expression still somewhat unhappy, and retorted: "Behaved? If she were really well-behaved, she wouldn't have asked to live back at her parents' home."

There was always a knot in her heart about this matter.

"You've already agreed to it, why are you still bringing this up? Control that expression on your face." Qi Laoshi tapped his pipe and reminded.

"Am I still afraid of her?"

Although Ma Jinlan said this, she finally suppressed her dissatisfied expression.

When she thought about Yuan Wei's work and Lao Wu's work, Ma Jinlan couldn't help but sigh, "I just don't feel good."

"Well, you feel uncomfortable if you can't hold your wife." Qi Laoshi said coldly.

When Ma Jinlan heard this, she immediately glared at him and said unhappily, "You feel uncomfortable if you don't argue with me, right?"

After a while, Ma Jinlan seemed to remember something and her expression became lonely. "Old Five is getting married, but his eldest sister didn't come either. Sigh."

Qi Jiayi is the youngest in the family, with four older brothers and one older sister.

This eldest sister was not born to Ma Jinlan and Qi Laoshi, but was the daughter of Ma Jinlan and her ex-husband.

When Ma Jinlan took her to remarry into the Qi family, the Qi family was very poor. Even solving their own food and clothing problems was a big problem, let alone providing their children with schooling.

When Qi Zhaodi was 17 years old, a factory in the county town happened to recruit female workers, but she was eliminated because she was illiterate.

This incident made her feel resentful towards Ma Jinlan, thinking that it was because she had never been to school and could not read that she missed this good opportunity.

During the recruitment period, Qi Zhaodi met a prospective worker with a county hukou and married him just a few months later.

Since she got married, she rarely returned to the Qi family.

Qi Zhaodi was Ma Jinlan's first child, and she loved her very much.

Ma Jinlan was deeply saddened by Qi Zhaodi's estrangement.

"So, my eldest sister never came back after her marriage?" Yuan Wei asked curiously.

At this time, Qi Jiayi was introducing his family members to her.

When it comes to this elder sister, Qi Jiayi is actually not very familiar with her.

"She has been back before," Qi Jiayi recalled. "She was much older than me and had already married when I was still young, so I don't have many memories of it. However, she did come home when my eldest brother got married."

"After that, I went to the army. I don't know if she ever came back." Qi Jiayi continued, "Mom meant for us to take some time to visit her and get to know her."

Ma Jinhua actually wanted them to see how Qi Zhaodi was living now. If she was wronged, she shouldn't be afraid because she had her family's support.

The fifth brother and his wife are both employed and knowledgeable people, so letting them go will also make her husband's family look up to them.

"Sure." Yuan Wei nodded in agreement. She understood visiting relatives.

"Also, Mom and Dad want to split up the family." Qi Jiayi said in a deep voice.

Yuan Wei was stunned when she heard this. Split up the family?

She couldn't help but look up at Qi Jiayi, only to see that he was frowning slightly, seeming a little reluctant.

"From the sound of your voice, it seems like you don't want to break up?" Yuan Wei asked, her eyes fixed on him.

Qi Jiayi was stared at by Yuan Wei's clear eyes, and he felt that if he said something wrong, he would die a miserable death.

He shook his head, trying to get rid of these messy thoughts. "No, I'm worried about you. The house at home might not be divided among us."

Wouldn’t that be even better? This way I could return to the Yuan family and live there with a legitimate reason.

Yuan Wei was secretly delighted, but she remained expressionless as she calmly asked, "Have you decided how to divide it?"

Qi Jiayi carefully looked at Yuan Wei's expression. Seeing that she was normal, he felt relieved and replied softly, "I mentioned it once before, and I agreed."

He then explained in detail: "This house will be left to my eldest and second brothers, and my third, fourth and fourth brothers will share the money. When the time comes, we can use the money to build a new house outside."

After all, although the house is spacious, there are too many people living in it.

Three generations of the Qi family lived together, and more than twenty people were squeezed into this house with only seven or eight rooms.

Now the third generation of children are about to start their own families and careers, and with the fourth generation about to be born, it is obviously not appropriate to live together anymore.

Yuan Wei thought about it for a moment and understood why Qi Jiayi was worried that she would be unhappy.

The Qi family did not have enough money to distribute to them, especially since Qi Jiayi and she both had stable jobs and incomes. Therefore, their small family was likely to be at a disadvantage when the family was divided, and they might not even get their due share.

But for Yuan Wei, this may not be a bad thing.

The more the Qi family feels they owe her, the more tolerant and patient they may be towards her when dealing with things in the future.

What's more, Yuan Wei doesn't care about the Qi family's money.

That money may be far less than the total annual salary of Qi Jiayi and her.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wei smiled and responded: "I'll listen to you."

She didn't express her views much.
