Chapter 421 How to break the situation
Wang Li returned to the small courtyard in the afternoon and helped Wang Yuanchao clean his main room.
When Yu Li came back from get off work, her heart skipped a beat when she saw Wang Li busying around the house.
Wang Yuanchao is coming back!
She quickly parked the bike, pulled her sleeves and bib off the lanyards, and began to help.
The two of them didn't talk much, which was rare.
"Let's eat first."
Wang Li untied his bib, brushed off the dust on his body, and called Yu Li to join him.
She lived close by and came home early, so she would usually cook more. After she cooked, Yu Li would clean up.
Wang Yuanchao had never expected that the two of them would actually live under the same roof. Because of the existence of Wang Yuanchao and Xiaocao, Wang Li and Yu Li could barely be considered as aunts and sisters-in-law.
if not?
One is unmarried, the other is divorced, and they each live in a large room in the east and west wings. Isn't it too empty?
Besides, living in a compartment in winter saves a lot of heating costs.
Dinner was simple, just steamed buns, pickles and bean paste.
Wang Li spoke first:
"My brother will be here the day after tomorrow."
A smile immediately broke out on Yu Li's face. It was indeed true.
But Wang Li's next sentence was like a bolt from the blue.
"He came back with two people this time."
Yu Li's face turned red. Even though the light was dim, Wang Li could feel Yu Li's shock, embarrassment, and a hint of anger.
Not to mention the shock.
It's embarrassing. I was smiling happily just now, but I was slapped in the face immediately. Who wouldn't be embarrassed?
A trace of anger, because I listened to you, divorced, kept my virginity for you, took care of the children, and saw you once a year, just like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. In the end, even this one meeting is being deprived of me?
Wang Li could understand Yu Li's thoughts and pitifulness to some extent, but she had no choice.
After chewing a few bites of the steamed bun, Wang Li said:
"In a couple of days, my parents should come over here for lunch. You know, this is the only time they get together every year."
Yu Li replied. Although her words were soft, one could tell that she was holding back a lot of energy:
"I know. Tell me in advance and I'll spend the night at Haitang's house."
Wang Lidao:
"Probably not. Even if they're having dinner, they won't stay here overnight."
Yu Lidao:
"Didn't they say there were two of them? Shouldn't I avoid suspicion?"
Wang Li smiled and said:
"There are only two of us, why are you trying to avoid suspicion? Um, do you know that he has many concubines outside?"
Yu Li was stunned:
What? So many concubines?
Wang Li had no way to show her a photo album. Every time his third brother finished his show, he would take the album away and only leave a single photo of Wang Xiao for his parents.
Wang Li felt that she had said too much, but since her third brother dared to show it to the family, it wouldn't be a big deal for her to say anything, right?
So he said:
"It seems that they still follow the Qing Dynasty law, and can marry multiple women."
Yu Li said in a daze, "Ah!" The Qing Dynasty's laws are so far away! Are they so backward over there? So she asked casually:
"So which one did you bring this time?"
Wang Li curled his lips:
"No. Anyway, they live in the main house and we live in the wing, so it doesn't matter."
Yu Li didn't know and couldn't see it before, so it was fine. But now that she knew, especially in the same courtyard, she felt like an unfaithful wife who had cheated on her husband. She felt a bit like being blocked at the door by the owner. She felt so ashamed that she hurriedly said in a panic:
"Forget it. It's rare for him to bring a wife back to meet his parents. I'd better not cause trouble for him."
Wang Li thought this person was interesting. When she had a husband, she fooled around with her third brother and helped him have children without feeling awkward at all. Why did she become reserved and flustered when she was about to meet one of her third brother's wives?
People are so complicated.
So Xia urged:
"What if he wants to see you?"
Actually, Wang Li originally wanted to say, what if he wanted to meet Xiao Cao? But he felt that if that happened, Yu Li would be even more uncomfortable. After all, they had been roommates for the past six months, and they had developed some feelings for each other, so he changed his words, "Besides, an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law, and you are also his woman, so what's wrong with taking a look at his other women, right?"
Yu Li was a little at a loss what to do after hearing what Wang Li said. It was an indisputable fact that she was Wang Yuanchao's wild woman!
Wang Li can say this as a joke. Can't she figure it out?
Not to mention that she is much older than the other person, Wang Yuanchao had to call her sister-in-law before. How could she possibly be someone else's concubine?
Yu Li didn't say anything. She finished the steamed bun in her hand and then said:
"Don't make things worse. As for me, I just want to raise Xiaocao peacefully without thinking about those unnecessary things. It's good the way it is now."
……
Wang Yuanchao and his wife left the Capital Railway Station.
Liu Qijin couldn't help but say:
"It's still the same as before, nothing has changed!"
Wang Yuanchao's eyes scanned the crowd like a radar. There were only a few places where his brothers and sisters usually appeared. Soon, both sides scanned each other.
Wang Yuanchao dragged his wife through the crowd and came to Wang Sheng, Wang Heping, and Wang Li:
"Big brother, second brother, little sister, this is my wife, Liu Qijin.
Jin'er, this is the eldest brother, the second brother, and the youngest sister!"
Liu Qijin immediately called out sweetly “Big Brother, Second Brother, Little Sister”, and the big brother and second brother also called out “Hello, sister-in-law”, while the little sister called out sweetly “Third sister-in-law”.
The Wang brothers and sisters laughed so hard that their teeth were almost exposed. They quickly took the things from Liu Qijin's hands and said:
"Hey, I'll come, I'll come.
Just come back and take a look, why bring so many things with you!
Let’s go, the car is outside.”
Liu Qijin helped Wang Yuanchao get some more and followed closely behind the crowd.
The three siblings were really happy. The person they brought back was not Lou Xiao'e, so their parents would not be embarrassed. Moreover, she was the legal wife. In ancient times, they would be buried in the same pit and have their names engraved on the same tombstone after death, right?
The three siblings walked in front, winking at each other:
"I told you, Third Brother is reliable!" "Did I say he's unreliable? I just said he's brave!"
After getting in the car, Wang Heping drove, Wang Sheng sat in the passenger seat, and the couple and their younger sister Wang Li squeezed in the back.
Wang Shengdao:
"Mom is worried that your train will be late, so you guys won't come over today. Let's come together for lunch tomorrow!"
Wang Lidao:
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, I don't know what time you will arrive, but the food is ready for you. The meat dishes are all hot in the pot, and the vegetables can be stir-fried. We can also have a not-too-late lunch together."
Wang Yuanchao said:
"You guys have been waiting till now and haven't eaten yet?"
Wang Heping smiled and said:
"You're asking even though you already know the answer. I've waited for you every time. So this time, the three of us will wait for you."
The truth is, the three siblings don’t know which wife Wang Yuanchao will bring back, so they have to wait for a day.
Arriving at the small courtyard, they went straight into the main house, where the walls were warm.
Wang Lidao:
"Pour the tea yourself. I'll go cook two vegetarian dishes!"
Liu Qijin said quickly:
"I'm going to help."
The three brothers poured water and made tea. Wang Sheng even pushed two cups to Wang Heping and said:
"You can send it to them both."
Wang Heping thought, you are the boss, I won’t bother with you, and ran to the kitchen with the cup.
Wang Sheng also said bluntly:
"Now I am also the deputy director of the cultural troupe, ranking fourth..."
When Wang Heping came in again, he saw his eldest brother telling his third brother about what had happened in the past few days. So he also sat beside them quietly, without saying a word.
When Wang Yuanchao heard his elder brother say that Director Jin unexpectedly escaped disaster because of "The Reddest Sun", he couldn't help but sigh, it was really a blessing in disguise.
Not only Director Jin, but also the eldest brother's promotion is obviously Director Jin's way of tying them up, so it's hard to say whether it's good or bad.
After listening to his elder brother, he put down his teacup and said leisurely:
“I have no way of knowing whether your case is good or bad.
If Director Jin and his group behave themselves, everyone can live in peace.
The fear is that after a few days, they will become restless again and even fight among themselves.
A fortress is most easily breached from within."
Wang Sheng nodded and sighed:
"Yes, this is fate, there is no way to avoid it. I didn't dare tell my family, for fear that my parents and your sister-in-law would worry. I just said that everything was fine and that I got a promotion, which was a good thing."
Wang Heping couldn't help but finish off:
"My eldest brother even brought you up, saying that you arranged it all."
Wang Sheng glared at the second brother and said awkwardly:
"There's no other way. If I don't move you out, they won't really trust me."
Wang Yuanchao said nothing,
"How many people are there in Director Jin's small group?"
Wang Shengdao:
“It’s all his little group.
But the only people who knew that he had asked Wang Li to compose a new song were the three section chiefs of personnel, finance, and logistics, and I was the only one who knew about it.
It was also a small-scale dinner party, and Director Jin drank a lot and didn't control his mouth. They all looked down on me and felt that I, a junior college student, had become Director Jin's wine bottle.
This kind of thing is not something you can tell anyone casually."
Wang Yuanchao coughed twice. If he hadn't asked his elder brother to be in charge of brewing wine, this wouldn't have happened. But who can predict the future?
“Not many people know about it, which is good.
But I don't think Director Jin will put such a tight ring on his head. He will definitely find a way to take it off. There is no doubt about this.
He probably won't touch you for now, but I think he might touch HR, finance, and logistics one by one, and he may even touch my little sister."
Wang Sheng and Wang Heping said in unison:
"so serious?"
Wang Yuanchao nodded decisively.
Back then, Director Jin wanted to set a trap for me and catch my weakness so that he could control me. I didn't have such critical information about him at that time. The things in the crotch are not comparable to what is happening now.
The elder brothers don't understand Director Jin. This guy is not a good person. He is very good at forbearance, smiling but hiding a dagger, judging the situation and being very patient.
Director Jin, who has a criminal record, must not let his guard down!
If they rely solely on the Wang brothers and sisters, they will definitely not be able to defeat the other side.
But now, I can't use these things of his to make trouble, otherwise my eldest brother will be implicated. If something really happens, this guy will definitely make false accusations.
The two brothers asked in unison:
"What should I do?"
After asking, they looked at each other and then stared at Wang Yuanchao.
Wang Yuanchao thought for a moment and said:
"Let's send my little sister to college first! She should be away from the troubled place of the art troupe. After all, she has created quite a few works and has such firm ideas. It is very suitable for her to go to college for further studies."
Wang Sheng thought about it. He was the deputy director in charge of personnel and recalled:
"Now that you mention it, it occurs to me that the ministry does have a request to recommend outstanding talents to study in university."
Wang Heping said:
"Really? Then our steel mill should also have such an opportunity, right?" He thought of something else and said to Wang Yuanchao, "Is this the end?"
Wang Yuanchao was about to say something when his younger sister and his wife began to bring dishes to the table.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly, talk while eating, talk while eating!"
