Chapter 1348: Chapter 803: The Cunning Abacus (Part 2)
Aunt Luo waved her hand, "Qian Zailai isn’t going back to keep an eye on things? It’s okay if I go back a few days later." Saying this, she moved closer to Wen Xin, "Sister-in-law, I was thinking that over at the farm, Qian Zailai can keep an eye on things, and since Xiao Tian and Xiao Jun are also idle, why not come to Island City to run a small business.
In the past few days, I’ve been looking around and think opening a restaurant near the school entrance would be nice. I’ve already chosen the location, right at the entrance of Q University, close to where we are.
In the future, sister-in-law won’t need to hire a nanny. We can take care of this house, and I assure you that when you return, the house will be spotless, even better than it is now."
Aunt Luo finally stopped going around in circles and stated her true intention. Wen Xin looked at her with amusement, wondering if, in Aunt Luo’s eyes, she was a fool?
But indeed, if it were the old her, she might have agreed. She wasn’t angry but instead smiled at Aunt Luo, "Big sister, tell me, do you think I would agree?"
"Of course you would!" Aunt Luo held Wen Xin’s hand, "With us here, we can help you watch over Wenxin Garden.
Otherwise, let Xiao Tian go to Wenxin Garden, and Xiao Jun and I can run the restaurant. If family doesn’t help family, aren’t they worse than pigs and dogs, right?"
"If the big sister says I’m worse than pigs and dogs, then I guess I am. But this thing, I surely won’t agree to it. First, the house belongs to Ye’er’s master, so I’m not the decision-maker.
Second, all the shares of Wenxin Garden belong to Ye’er, so I’m not the decision-maker there either. As for the big sister opening a restaurant, I really can’t comment on that.
But one thing is certain, you absolutely cannot use Zhenggang’s name to do business. Otherwise, when Zhenggang disowns you and cuts off all ties, don’t blame me for not warning you."
"You really won’t agree?" Aunt Luo glared at Wen Xin with a dark expression, "You better think carefully before answering."
"No need, the big sister can leave now." Wen Xin instructed Yu Xinmei, who was tidying up in the kitchen, "Xiao Yu, go upstairs and bring Aunt Luo’s luggage down."
"Yes!" Yu Xinmei quickly responded and ran upstairs. She had been anxious all this time. The work wasn’t tiring, the family had a good temperament, and she could also study in her spare time. Where could she find such a good job?
"You’ll regret this!" Aunt Luo looked at Wen Xin hatefully, "When the time comes, even if you beg me, I won’t help."
Wen Xin simply stood up and went upstairs, not wanting to deal with her any longer.
Aunt Luo snorted coldly, "When Luo Feng’s marriage falls through, and Luo Ye faces consequences, even if you beg me, I still won’t help."
She pressed on relentlessly, indeed having something to rely on!
Wen Xin paused, turned back to look at her, "If you dare do anything to my children, be prepared for my retaliation. The Wen family won’t just stand by and watch me and my children be bullied."
Aunt Luo’s eyes glinted as she forced a smile, "Sister-in-law, we are family. How could I possibly harm my niece and nephew?
Right now, the ones bullying them are others. To avoid your worry and because it’s inconvenient for you to deal with it, I thought I’d stay here to help fend it off for you.
Forget it, I won’t worry unnecessarily. When Xiao Tian and her grandpa return, I’ll head back to the village and won’t be an eyesore here."
"Alright." Wen Xin responded and continued upstairs. It wasn’t that she wasn’t curious, but she knew her sister-in-law’s temperament well enough; if she begged for her question, agreeing to a bunch of unequal terms would be necessary.
For her children, she could accept unequal terms, but she knew all too well that if someone truly intended to mess with her children, Aunt Luo simply didn’t have the capability to help.
Unless the instigator is her!
If that’s the case, she would be even less likely to seek help from her.
Of course, she would never really let it slide. Her stepping back didn’t mean she had nothing in hand; finding someone to look into things wouldn’t be difficult for her.
Would her grandpa just sit back and do nothing if his grandchildren were bullied?
No matter who makes a move, she won’t forgive him, even if that person is Aunt Luo!
Seeing Wen Xin go upstairs left Aunt Luo dumbfounded.
From her perspective, Wen Xin would definitely ask what’s going on, allowing her to embellish the story, volunteer to persuade the other side, and then, everything she wanted would easily fall into place.
But why did things turn out so differently from what she expected?
Now, should she follow up or just leave?
