Wanjin Lady

Chapter 171 Climbing a high branch

Wenwan is not a good feeling.

Wen Weiming closed his eyes, calculating his remaining savings, and finally sighed helplessly, "Jiao Niang has... a box of clothes and jewelry... that's a memory your mother left me..."

At this point, Wen Weiming's voice choked with sobs, and the last trace of Bai Yueguang's existence also dissipated without a trace. "If I make a move, it will be at least 180 taels."

Wen Wan looked at her stepfather's dark, wrinkled face. The old man's features were wrinkled, and his eyes were full of reluctance. Wen Wan said, "Dad, it's not necessary. You have to keep the things that Mom gave you well."

Aunt Liu gritted her teeth and said, "Since you're going to pawn the jewelry anyway, why not pawn it for me? I have a pure gold head ornament here—"

She looked at Wen Weiming deeply, her voice unable to conceal the bitterness, "Madam's things... just keep them as a souvenir."

In the past, she tried her best to fight with a dead man.

Now that she has experienced so many things, her mindset has become much more open.

"Yiyi..." Wen Weiming's throat seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't breathe in or out.

Wen Jingze said, "Sister, I still have fifty taels of silver! It was given to me by my brother-in-law...my brother-in-law."

Her figurines...

Cheng Yunzhang handed over the purse, his face ashamed. "Manager Wen, I don't have much to spend on a daily basis. My mother gives me a limited amount of pocket money, and I only have two hundred taels of silver for emergencies."

not enough.

not enough.

They could only scrape together five or six hundred taels, and half of that depended on help from others.

Wen Wan glanced around the hall. The members of the Wen family lowered their brows and eyes, as if they were afraid to meet her gaze. Only Zhu Wang was reaching into his wallet tremblingly.

His wife beside him got angry and pinched his lower back.

"what!"

With a scream like a butchered pig, Zhu Wang glared at his wife fiercely, "What are you doing, bitch?! Do you have any manners at all?"

His old wife was scolded in public and was embarrassed. She looked at Wenwan with an unfriendly look.

This young woman had a smooth, sleek figure, and even wearing a white mourning dress, she couldn't hide her beauty. Thinking of Old Zhu's abnormal behavior in the past few days, Mrs. Zhu's face suddenly turned green.

Before Zhu Wang could offer his courtesy, everyone in the hall was drawn to the couple's argument. Suddenly, a clear and bright voice was heard, "Amei, go back to the thatched cottage right now and get the money. One thousand taels of silver, not a penny less, and hand it to Manager Wen."

Who is so arrogant?

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was the wife of the old man next to Cheng Yunzhang.

She was an elderly woman, probably in her fifties or sixties, with skin as white as jade. Although she was dressed simply, her elegance could not be concealed.

Who is this person?
Shopkeeper Ding was undecided, not wanting to underestimate the woman's identity. "May I ask who you are—"

Madam Yao retorted coldly, "Shopkeeper Ding is a businessman, so there's no need to ask who I am. You just need to count the 1,166 taels of silver."

Hoyo.

What this woman meant was that Manager Ding was not worthy of knowing her identity!
Not only was Manager Ding curious, but the onlookers were also curious. When did such a generous person appear in Ping County?

Judging from his appearance, he seems to be quite close to Mr. Cheng.

At this time, someone reacted and couldn't help but look at that person several more times!

The legendary Akiyama Hermit!

Zhu Wang secretly beat his legs. Damn it, if he had known that Mr. Qiushan and Wen Wan had such a good relationship, he should have generously revealed his secrets and gained the impression of being "righteous and righteous"!

It’s all this old woman’s fault!
Mrs. Zhu Wang was inexplicably given several cold stares by her husband.

Madam Yao's servant made a move to leave, but Wen Wan stopped him. Wen Wan was moved. Since arriving in this strange world, she had been cautious and guarded her true heart, but her icy heart... was now warmed by Madam Yao.

One thousand taels... Even the Yao family would find it difficult to come up with it, let alone lend it to her so openly.

They say that emergency relief is better than poverty relief.

Wen Wan is a poor person now and will be a poor person for a long time.

Wen Wan's eyes were red with sincerity. "Old Madam... why do you have to do this? I have done nothing. Even if I have nothing, I really don't have the face to borrow from you."

Madam Yao grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Haven't you always wanted to be this old man's student? You've written several articles, but none of them caught his eye. So, just give up! How about being my daughter?"

Wenwan's eyes lit up.

"I only have two boys in my family. When I was young, looking at the sweet and soft girls from other families was just like a poor family envying the meat in other people's bowls. Now that I'm over fifty years old, I feel particularly close to Miss Wen. I just don't know if Miss Wen is willing?"

Of course I would!!!

Wen Wan roared inwardly!

When an olive branch falls upon her, of course she has to grab it tightly!

She suppressed her frenzied heart and subconsciously glanced at Yao Shizhen and then at Old Man Wen.

Old Man Wen's eyes were twitching, and he almost forced his daughter to kneel down and kowtow to her new parents, making this matter a fact.

Old Master Yao stared at Wen Wan, as if taking a final look at her.

As for the girl, it’s not like the Yao family can’t afford to support her.

Besides, this girl is very capable, and it’s hard to say who will support whom in the future.

Yao Shizhen's tone was stern. "As long as you don't try to become my disciple and ruin my reputation, everything else can be discussed."

But the curve of his eyebrows revealed the old man's joy.

Wen Wan: ...

This was the first time in my life that someone looked down on me for being uneducated.

Yao Shizhen was polite to Wen Weiming, "Manager Wen... the matter of recognizing relatives still needs your approval..."

"I agree!" Wen Weiming couldn't hide his excitement. Although he didn't know how great Yao Shizhen's status and ability were, he had heard Wen Wan mention that Cheng Yunzhang had taken great pains to become his disciple, and even Wen Quxing was vying to curry favor with him. How could his Wen family not curry favor with him?
Putting aside the considerations of personal gain, Wen Weiming's smile was full of sincerity just because the Yao family took out 1,000 taels of silver without hesitation to help them out!

"Wanniang, come quickly, kowtow to your adoptive father and mother..."

Wen Wan slid to her knees with a "thump" and her agile body. The sound was so loud and crisp that it scared Chen Ma and Hongmei!

God!

The lady is still pregnant!
"Godfather and Godmother, please accept my daughter's greetings."

Wen Wan kowtowed with even greater sincerity.

Madam Yao took her hand distressedly and helped her to stand up, "You little girl, you are pregnant, and you are so obedient!"

Old Master Yao said, "We'll pick an auspicious day in a few days to recognize our relatives! For now, we'll get through this hurdle!"

As he spoke, Mr. Yao glanced at Shopkeeper Ding indifferently.

Shopkeeper Ding felt his back crawling with fear from being stared at, and he began to regret listening to Yuan Qi and forcing Wen Wan to move.

If the Wen family could come up with the money, not only would their plan to occupy the Wen residence fail, but they would also incur the dislike of Mr. Qiushan. It would be a loss!

Madam Yao immediately turned around and urged the servants to get the money. She then took Wen Wan's hand and said, "Since our two families have such a bond, don't refuse me. We are family and we don't have to talk about two sides. Take this money for emergency use first, and we can talk about future matters later."
