Chapter 117 Don’t blame yourself if you can blame others
Even if Xie Changqing had complaints, what did it have to do with them? Why did they treat her like that?
Wen Wan would not tolerate this inexplicable humiliation.
Some things were not easy to say in front of Xie Changlin and Xie Yuting, so Wen Wan asked them to go out for a walk first, and she stayed to explain things to them.
Perhaps sensing the hostility in Xu Sheng's eyes, Xie Changlin's face turned unhappy. If Wen Wan hadn't repeatedly said that nothing would happen in public, Xie Changlin would still be standing there refusing to move.
After sending the brother and sister away, Wen Wan didn't beat around the bush. She sat down and said directly, "What do you two think of me? Tell me!"
Xu Sheng opened his mouth to speak, but was glared back by Wu Gang.
Wu Gang said expressionlessly: "Sister-in-law, you are joking. We have no problem with you."
It was obvious on his face that he was very dissatisfied, but he was still pretending to be a big shot. Wen Wan asked, "I don't have any objections. What did you mean by glaring at me just now?"
Wu Gang pulled a sarcastic smile at the corner of his lips, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to take the initiative to pick on us. We didn't see anything just now, let alone encounter it here. We never gossip, you can leave without worry."
Haven’t seen it, haven’t encountered it, and won’t spread it, right?
When these words were put together, Wen Wan always felt that there was something else behind them.
After pondering for a moment, I understood.
The 1970s was still a very conservative time. In the eyes of these people, men and women eating at the same table was as serious as blocking a man and a woman at the entrance of a hotel in later generations.
Plus, Wen Wan is only two years older than Xie Changlin, so it's easy to be misunderstood.
Not only did the two men misunderstand, they also thought that her accusation was a preemptive move, in which she offered a gift first and then silenced them.
Wen Wan said with a smile: "You don't think that the one just now was the gigolo I secretly kept outside, do you?"
Wu Gang raised his eyebrows and waited for her next words. Xu Sheng rolled his eyes at her again, meaning, isn't it?
"The guy just now was Xie Changqing's biological brother. You still have the nerve to call yourself his younger brother? You don't even know his family members. You are such a fake younger brother."
Wu Gang was embarrassed for a moment, then said awkwardly, "I thought so! They look so alike."
Xu Sheng still looked unconvinced and said, "So what? He's not your biological brother."
"What's the matter?" Wen Wan raised her chin slightly and looked at him, "Are you looking for trouble?"
"No, it's a misunderstanding." Wu Gang was sandwiched between the two and tried to act as a peacemaker.
"It was a misunderstanding, but his opinion of me doesn't seem to be a misunderstanding." Wen Wan said: "You ask him to speak clearly. He feels uncomfortable holding it in, and I feel uncomfortable when people roll their eyes at me for no reason."
“You said that.” Xu Sheng glared at Wu Gang, then looked at Wen Wan with anger on his face and said, “Are you a heartless woman?
The eldest brother hasn't been home for a few days, and you didn't even mention going to town to find him. If it were another wife, she would have come here to coax her husband back home long ago.
You, on the other hand, not only don't show your face, but you also chat and laugh with other men. Tell me, are you a qualified wife?"
Xu Sheng’s words completely confused Wen Wan. What does “not even showing your face” mean?
Didn’t Xie Changqing say that his job was special and that he couldn’t ask or raise any questions?
Wen Wan was about to refute, but then realized that she couldn't refute. The nature of Xie Changqing's job was special, and even she, his wife, couldn't say anything, let alone the two of them.
Thinking that she had acquiesced, Xu Sheng said to Wu Gang, "I have long advised the eldest brother not to marry someone who is much younger than himself.
The child is too young to be wild, and as expected, although he looks as pretty as the female characters in the movies, in the end he is not even willing to give birth to a child for the eldest.
Isn't it the purpose of a man to marry a wife to continue the family line? The eldest brother is so good that he treats his wife like a daughter and pampers her. In the end, this wife has no conscience and is unwilling to even care about her husband. What do you think the eldest brother wants?"
Wen Wan: ...
What do you mean you don’t even want to give birth to a child for him?
How did they know that I wouldn't have children?
Xie Changqing doesn't seem like the kind of person who would tell such things everywhere.
Wen Wan asked suspiciously, "How do you know I don't want to have children? Did Xie Changqing tell you?"
Xu Sheng was stunned by the question, "Is there anything else to tell? We've been married for half a year and my sister-in-law's belly is still not moving.
My boss is in such good health, it's impossible that he is incapable, so...it must be that you don't want to give birth to a child for him."
It was obvious that this was a lie full of loopholes. Wen Wan said, "Could it be that there is something wrong with my body and I can't get pregnant?"
Xu Sheng choked when asked and looked towards Wu Gang for help.
Wu Gang rolled his eyes at him, looking at Wen Wan and said, "It wasn't the boss who said that. It was the boss who asked me to ask someone to get him a large condom.
If you use that thing, you definitely don’t want children.
The eldest son is 25 years old this year, and the children of his age are about to go to elementary school. It is impossible for him not to be anxious to have a child.
So we infer that you, sister-in-law, don’t want it.”
Although his words were logically sound, and Wen Wan was confident that she had seen all kinds of storms in her life and had a thick skin like a city wall, she couldn't help but blush when she heard the words "large condoms".
Condoms are just condoms, is it necessary to get a larger size?
Wu Gang also realized that it was not a good idea to say this to a female comrade, and coughed awkwardly, "The boss is really good to you, so good that he wants to give you his heart.
We don't expect you to give the same in return, but at least don't hurt him!
Do you know how depressed he is these days?"
Xu Sheng added: "That's right, although I don't know why you quarreled, but you are too ruthless. My man hasn't come home for so many days, I'm not worried about him at all.
I thought your mood wouldn't be very good, but I didn't expect you to come here to eat in such a good mood, and you were smiling so happily.
Anyway, if I were the boss, I would never be so nice to you, it's so damn worthless."
Their standing up for injustice made Wen Wan reflect.
That's right, Xie Changqing was really good to her. He gave in to her in everything, thought about her in every way, gave her all his belongings without any worries, and didn't let her do any heavy work...
It seemed like she didn't contribute much to him.
Xu Sheng was right when he said that, let alone in the 1970s, even in later generations when people’s minds were more open, men married to continue the family line.
And as a daughter-in-law, she had no intention of giving birth to a child for him, which was indeed a bit disappointing.
But she was trying her best to make up for it.
She tolerated Xie Hu, Feng Yuying and even Zhang Lan, accepted Xie Changlin and Xie Yuting, and planned to train the brother and sister into talents.
Teach Xie Changshan and Xie Changlin how to do business and make money...
She is not the Virgin Mary, so why should she be involved in matters for which she has no legal obligation?
It's all for Xie Changqing. I don't want to make things difficult for him, and I want him to have a capable brother to rely on when he has problems in the future.
And she also said that if he couldn't accept not having children, he could choose to divorce. He clearly agreed!
The matter of the child might be the idea of the two brothers taking their own initiative.
but……
The more Wen Wan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
What the hell is this?
Why should she reflect?
Reflection would lead to internal friction, so she didn't want to reflect.
Don't blame yourself if you can blame others.
Wen Wan said: "Why should I repay him with equal value and give him a child just because he treats me well?
Is he being nice to me just to get me to give birth to his child?
If he is nice to me just to make me have a baby, then there is no point in praising his kindness to me, because his kindness is purposeful and is a means to make me have a baby.
When the goal is achieved, the means will be discarded, just like a person who has just finished an exam will not turn to the book again.
After the child is born, his goal will be achieved and he will no longer be nice to me. If I spend half my life giving birth to a child for him just for the little kindness he showed me before the birth of the child, I will be at a great loss.
If his kindness to me is without any purpose, and is not a means for me to have a child, then it means that he is kind to me without expecting anything in return, and then it doesn’t matter how I treat him.”
Even if he was nice to her without any purpose, so what?
Does she have to give a corresponding response?
Isn't this considered forced selling in some sense?
She obviously didn't ask him to be nice to her.
She had convinced herself theoretically, but she still felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Just like what people in later generations often say, even though you understand a lot of principles, you still can’t live a good life.
