Chapter 216: Wen Yao is also a demon
Wang Jin looked at his little brother, blinking his innocent big eyes, looking at him timidly, and looking at his parents a little aggrieved. He didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he quickly spoke up to smooth things over:
"Daddy, he's still young, so it's normal for him to be shy for a while. He'll be fine after spending some time together. He's just a child after all."
The father denied it:
"Jin'er, you can't say that. You were already studying when you were his age. We are close relatives, and we can't spoil him blindly. It will be detrimental to his growth!"
Father sternly warned Wang Wenxin:
"You have to remember that this is your sister. You have to respect her. She is the most capable child in the family. You should learn from her and not be like this anymore. Do you understand?"
The younger brother replied timidly, "I understand."
Then he lowered his head and dared not look at Wang Jinyi again, but Wang Jinyi knew that her brother had determined that she was a monster.
Wang Jinyi didn't care. Since her brother was so afraid of her, she would just take it slow. Everything would be fine after getting along for a while.
Wang Jinyi's thoughts seemed to coincide with her mother's. Her mother said:
"It will get better over time. After all, we just came back and we need to get familiar with each other as a family. It will get better as time goes by, right, Wenxin?!"
My brother lowered his head under the tea table, and my father asked:
"Is that so? Wenxin."
The younger brother replied helplessly: "Yeah."
In order to strengthen family ties, the father specially introduced:
"Wen Xin, this is your brother, please greet him!"
The younger brother stood on the couch and bowed to Wang Wendong and greeted him.
Wang Wendong gave the prize he won from the academy, a small stick of ink, to my younger brother.
"Wen Xin, this is my brother's good luck. I give it to you so that you can have good luck too!"
My father pointed at Wang Jinyi and introduced her:
"This is my sister, you have to be polite! Wenxin, be polite."
This time, Wang Wenxin gritted her teeth and asked her sister:
"Hello, sister."
Wang Jinyi didn't dare to reach out to help his brother, fearing that his brother would be afraid of him. He turned around and said:
"Qingmei, bring the gift from my room!"
Qingmei came back with a box in her hand. Although the box was ordinary, it was full of secrets. It was a wooden plug-in toy, a new product of the Qiaojiang Workshop. The freshly made sample was given to Wang Jinyi as a gift.
In front of the whole family, Wang Jinyi poured out all the small wooden blocks in the wooden box and took out a drawing from the bottom of the box.
The drawing shows the bird with the entire plug-in fully assembled, with a number marked on each wooden block of the bird.
Find the wooden blocks with numbers on them from the scattered wooden blocks and put them together. It also requires some wisdom like Lu Ban's lock to complete the assembly.
In order to make her brother like this educational toy, Wang Jinyi first tried to assemble it in numerical order, but she couldn't go on after assembling a few pieces.
Wang Jinyi pondered over it again and again, not knowing what to do.
Brother Wang Wendong joined in and first helped his sister find the core components, and then continued to connect the wooden blocks. However, in the end, there were only two pieces left that could not be installed. Wang Jinyi deliberately acted helpless.
The father also joined in and helped Wang Jinyi disassemble it all. The parents carefully studied the drawings and confirmed the position of each wooden block. Then, this toy became a toy that the parents played with seriously.
Wang Jinyi secretly winked at her brother, who understood and nodded to his sister, and the brother and sister reached a tacit understanding.
When the younger brother saw his parents joining the game, he looked at his older brother, then at his parents who were assembling toys, and he started to join in unconsciously. He touched the wooden blocks and was busy helping to find small wooden blocks.
The whole family helped to assemble most of the bird. Qingmei came in and whispered in her mother's ear. Her mother looked up as if to confirm and asked:
"is it?"
Qingmei nodded to confirm.
The mother took the father to the inner room and whispered something to him. The brother was puzzled and asked Wang Jinyi:
"What happened?"
Wang Jinyi guessed that it might be because of the cash that he "couldn't put down", but he was not sure, so he whispered to his brother:
"Wait a moment, mother will tell you."
Mother opened the bedroom door, waved at me and said:
"Jin'er, come here by yourself."
Wang Jinyi thought she had guessed it right. But when she entered the bedroom and saw her parents' serious faces, she felt that she had guessed wrong, and asked with a sympathetic heart:
"What happened to mom and dad?"
The mother looked at the father with an inquiring look. The father sensed it, straightened his robe, sat up straight and said:
"Jin'er, just stand here and answer."
Seeing the serious expressions of his parents, Wang Jinyi felt a little nervous. He thought about it and realized that he had not done anything to let down the Wang family in the past six years!
Wang Jinyi calmed down, put her hands at her sides, stood respectfully, and looked at her parents' serious expressions.
My father asked seriously:
"Jin'er, your parents are not with you, and we don't know what you have done over the years. We just want to talk to you."
Wang Jinyi thought: This doesn’t look like a chat, but more like an interrogation.
The father glanced at the mother, who walked over, took her daughter's hand, and asked:
"Jin'er, Zhu Yu came to ask about the cash at home. She wanted Gongzhong to give her some advice. She said you asked her to come and look for her mother. Is that true?"
"Yes, it is!"
Wang Jinyi didn't understand why her parents were judging her just because there was a little more cash at home! Isn't it a good thing to have a lot of money at home?
Then my father asked another question.
"Jin'er, the concierge received a letter from Kushui Mountain about the mineral vein. You know that if you open a mine without permission, you will be beheaded at the least, and at the worst, your entire family will be implicated."
Wang Jinyi looked at the letter in her parents' hands and realized that her parents' anxiety came from Kushui Mountain.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that my parents were probably angry because they thought that their money was obtained by secretly mining.
Thinking of this, I felt that the affairs of Ku Shui Mountain had already been taken over by my grandfather, so I should tell my father directly.
"Dad, Mom, this is what happened. When you left, someone brought us ore from Kushui Mountain. Grandfather took a look at it and concluded that it might be a salt mine.
My grandfather told us not to make it public and that we would not mine. He also told us that we had to find a way to solve the problem. I never asked him again afterwards.
However, my grandfather's friends came to see me later and decided that only the southeast slope of my Kushui Mountain could be developed, and the back mountain was fenced off. It was also my grandfather who told me not to ask about the salt mine anymore.
This letter may not be for me.”
After hearing what Wang Jinyi said, the parents looked at each other, feeling as if they had discovered a secret.
The parents were silent. Wang Jinyi thought for a moment and broke the silence:
"Dad, Mom, why don't we give the letter to grandfather and let him deal with it himself? We will pretend we don't know."
The father silently raised the letter in his hand:
"Jin'er, the letter has been sealed and opened!"
