Wen Wan shook her head and leaned on the table. "It's best if no one bothers me. I just want to be alone now." The original Zhao Wenwan was not originally from Chuncheng. Her family had moved here from Jinling before the war broke out.

My uncle, Zhao Guochen, had graduated from the Huangfu Military Academy and was now a division commander, a high-ranking officer in the Nationalist army. He lived in the Shancheng Mansion with his aunt, two beautiful young concubines, and three cousins ​​from his first wife.

His father, Zhao Guoqi, was the most honest and dutiful, while his mother was timid by nature. Among his three uncles and cousins, he was the least liked by the old man and the old lady of the Zhao family. The old man valued his eldest uncle the most, while the old lady doted on his third uncle's family.

Six months ago, my eldest cousin, Zhao Wenyuan, was seriously injured while accompanying my uncle in a military campaign. To recover, he returned to the Red Cross Hospital in Spring City. However, his romantic side led him to bring back Bai Ling'er, an actress from the Shanghai Moulin Rouge Repertory Theatre, to Spring City. During a performance, Bai Ling'er was spotted by a wealthy young man, who, after flirting with her, turned out to be the young man's fiancée, the sister of a gangster boss. He stormed into the troupe, beat her up, and left her face disfigured.

Zhao Wenyuan couldn't bear to see such a beauty destroyed, so he wanted to get penicillin to treat her injuries. Indeed, Bai Ling'er had a high fever the day after arriving in Chuncheng. The doctor said that without penicillin, she would likely develop sepsis and die.

Zhao Wenyuan wanted to get medicine from the hospital, but the Red Cross Hospital was under strict supervision, making it impossible to get it. Finally, he tried to injure himself to force the doctor to give him penicillin. Isn't that a tiger? He would injure himself to save a beautiful woman.

Of course, the old man and old lady of the Zhao family would not allow it, and the family was in chaos. In the end, it was the third uncle Zhao Guoyan who came up with the idea, "Wenyuan is injured and weak. Second brother is not the strongest, but he can do it!"

Zhao Guoqi was not as important as an actor in a brothel. Zhao Wenyuan actually thought this suggestion was feasible.

So, for the sake of his beloved grandson, Old Master Zhao actually ordered his housekeeper to chop Zhao Guoqi with an axe. Instead of sending him to the hospital, he invited a doctor from the Red Cross Hospital who was good at treating red wounds to his home. When the doctor saw that the axe was covered with rust, he of course prescribed a tetanus injection and then penicillin.

But the Zhao family wanted to get medicine to save Bai Ling'er, whom Zhao Wenyuan had been thinking about all the time. They used various reasons to prevent the doctor from giving Zhao Guoqi an injection and finally drove the doctor away.

Bai Linger used tetanus and penicillin.

After three days of delaying, Zhao Guoqi developed a fever.

Bai Ling'er was originally in good condition, but in order to avoid leaving scars on her face, she actually wanted to take advantage of the penicillin and exchange it for a scar-removing elixir from a middle-aged doctor who claimed to be a descendant of the imperial physician. She even warmed her face with hot water and pretended to have a fever.

In this way, the life-saving medicine that was originally for Zhao Guoqi was given to Bai Ling'er.

After this happened twice, Zhao Guoqi fell unconscious with a fever. When the doctor came again, Zhao Guoqi had already developed sepsis due to the worsening of the wound and looked extremely ill.

Perhaps before he died, he saw clearly the Zhao family's ruthlessness and disloyalty.

He held his parents' hands and begged them, "After I die, please have mercy on me, father, and give Sufen and the two children a place to live. I'll give them the small house on the corner of Peacock Lane and the small grocery store so they can live on it."

Zhao Wenyuan only wanted to save the beauty, but he didn't really want his second uncle to die, but now his second uncle is really beyond saving.

"Uncle, how can this be? We live a good life, and this little fortune is not enough. I...I will take good care of Aunt and Wen Jin and Wen Wan."

"Wenyuan, considering I risked my life to save your woman, please separate Sufen, Wenjin, and Wenwan. The Zhao family's huge fortune was earned by my father and eldest brother. I dare not be greedy. I only ask for my father and mother's help! I have been honest all my life, and my parents have always despised me. I am not as hardworking as my eldest brother, nor am I as good at making you happy as my third brother. I beg father to fulfill my wish!"

Seeing that his second son was about to die, Old Master Zhao finally agreed.

As soon as Zhao Guoqi's funeral was completed, he divided Wei Sufen and her son and daughter into two parts, as he had requested before his death. The small house and grocery store at the corner of Peacock Lane were also given to them. In addition, an extra 500 silver dollars were given to Wei Sufen.

Old Master Zhao said, "Wenjin and Wenwan are studying. Guochen said that times have changed. Both boys and girls need to study. Every year, I will give you a share of the money they spend on their studies. These five hundred silver dollars are for you and your mother's living expenses. No matter how much wealth the Zhao family has in the future, it will have nothing to do with you and your mother. No matter how great the difficulties of the Zhao family are, we will not ask you for help."

He went too far.

Because Zhao Guoyan was good at speaking and coaxing the old couple, even Zhao Guoyan's wife Tian Caiyun was used to speaking in a flattering way, and even their three children learned from them.

But in reality, the medicinal materials trading company that Zhao Guochen had worked so hard to open for his family was ruined. In the past, Zhao Guoqi was in charge of purchasing the goods, but Zhao Guoyan, in order to prove that he was more capable than Zhao Guoqi, chose cheaper sources of goods. As a result, the goods were exposed to rain and moldy, and had no medicinal effect at all. They were a waste of money, and the purchasing manager of the pharmaceutical factory didn't want them anymore.

Zhao Guoyan spent all the money he saved on supporting the beautiful concubine introduced by Bailing'er, and the trading company's accounts were full of deficits.

Old Master Zhao was an expert at farming and collecting rent, but he had never done business. In the past, Zhao Guoqi was in charge of everything. Many suppliers and owners of supply shops came to collect their debts, leaving them with a bunch of unusable medicinal herbs. The entire Zhao family was in chaos.

When Wen Wan came, the Third Madam had just set her sights on the house and grocery store in Peacock Lane. The Third Madam had visited a few days ago and said nice things about wanting to take Wei Sufen and her son and daughter back to live in the Zhao Mansion. She also said that Wei Sufen's grocery store had little business, so it would be better to sell it for the money and then buy another store with better business.

Wei Sufen was originally a girl from a wealthy peasant family in the countryside of Jiangnan. She had never been to school and listened to her parents at home and her husband after marriage. She did not understand these things and was coaxed into having some ideas by the third wife.

Zhao Wenjin is also a smart person, and he disagreed with this matter at first.

The original body wasn't reborn, and had no memories of past lives, but Wen Wan could predict that before Zhao Guoqi died, he had secured a way out for his wife and children. If he really went back, he would be courting death. If the Zhao family needed to sacrifice anyone else, the three of them, mother and son, would be the first choice.

After Wen Wan received the memory, her soul threw a handful of ancient coins in the divine realm and calculated for a while. At this moment, the third wife actually brought people to buy the house in Peacock Lane.

Can't wait, they are already on the way.

Wen Wan stood up and pretended to be in pain: "Teacher Cai, I have a severe headache and I want to ask for leave."

Suddenly, a girl who was studying in the back row and was having a hard time learning stood up. "Teacher Cai, Zhao Wenwan and I live very close. Please allow me to take her home to recuperate. I promise to take her home."
