Chapter 192 Greed
Chapter 192 Greed
After lunch, Yao Miaoer took Cheng Wenwen out for a walk, and Yao Rongen also went with them.
The three of them got into the carriage and went out.
The two girls held hands and chatted.
"Cousin, did you really get married and divorced?" Yao Miaoer couldn't help but want to gossip.
Cheng Wenwen nodded: "Yes!"
"You are so brave!" Yao Miaoer gave Cheng Wenwen a thumbs up.
Cheng Wenwen smiled and asked, "Don't you think I'm violating etiquette and customs?"
"What's the matter with ethics and customs? If life isn't going well, just separate! Do you have to live in misery for the rest of your life? You don't know, several of my distant cousins didn't live well after getting married, but they didn't dare separate for fear of gossip." Yao Miaoer didn't want to get married so soon because she had seen too much of her cousins' married lives. She would rather live alone for the rest of her life than compromise.
Cheng Wenwen nodded: "My cousin is right. It's amazing that she has this idea!"
"That's right!" Yao Miaoer smiled and said, "We won't get married. What's so good about men? From now on, we can play together. When we get old, we can keep each other company!"
Cheng Wenwen smiled and nodded in agreement.
Yao Rongen, who was eavesdropping on the conversation, said, "Cousin, don't listen to her. She's always talking nonsense!"
"How can I be talking nonsense? Men in this world are unreliable and irresponsible. What's the good of getting married?" Yao Miaoer said to Yao Rongen.
"Nonsense, I'm a good man? I'm reliable and responsible!" Yao Rongen wanted to clear the name of men.
"Tsk! Just you! You just skip school and have fun every day, and you still think you are responsible and reliable?" Yao Miaoer rolled her eyes at him.
"Hey! Yao Miaoer! How do you talk to your brother?"
"Humph!"
The brother and sister were arguing with each other, and were about to quarrel. Cheng Wenwen spoke up to mediate, "Okay, cousin, where are we going?"
"Let's go to Hongyun Street, it's fun there! There are vendors from many places, selling strange and peculiar things from all over the place, it's a lot of fun!" said Yao Miaoer.
"I think we should go to the Treasure Pavilion! I heard that a new batch of good stuff has arrived there! Let's go and take a look!" Yao Rongen said.
Yao Miaoer glared at him: "Why do you always contradict me?"
"How am I contradicting you? I'm just taking my cousin out for fun, it's okay if you don't go!" Yao Rongen said.
"You have to understand that my grandparents asked me to take my cousin out for fun. You are just an accompanying friend. What advice do you have?" Yao Miaoer said bluntly.
"You! Then let my cousin tell me where to go?"
The brother and sister would quarrel over every few words, just like a pair of bickering lovers. Although Cheng Wenwen thought it was lively and funny, it was inevitable that there would be disagreements and things would go wrong.
"How about this! Cousin, let's go shopping on Hongyun Street first, and then go to the Treasure Pavilion that cousin mentioned! How do you think?" Cheng Wenwen looked at the two of them.
"Why do we have to go to Hongyun Street first?" Yao Rongen was dissatisfied.
"That means my cousin is more interested in going to Hongyun Street!" Yao Miaoer snorted.
Cheng Wenwen sighed and said, "Okay, cousin, you are a man and you should be more generous. It doesn't matter where you go first, right?"
"That's right! A man is so petty!" Yao Miaoer complained.
"I am narrow-minded? You are really lawless. What you are saying about your brother..."
"Cousin, calm down. Cousin, you should also say less. We are out here to have fun, not to quarrel!" Cheng Wenwen advised.
"Okay, for my cousin's sake, I won't teach you a lesson today!" Yao Rongen snorted coldly.
Yao Miaoer also said: "I didn't hit you in the face because of my cousin, otherwise I don't know who will teach whom a lesson today!"
The brother and sister have been fighting with each other since they were young, and they are still doing so now that they have grown up.
Seeing that the two of them had calmed down, Cheng Wenwen smiled, looked at the bustling street outside, and asked, "Cousin, have we reached Hongyun Street yet?"
"Yes, yes! Stop the car and let's go down for a walk!" Yao Miaoer pulled Cheng Wenwen out of the carriage, then took Cheng Wenwen around and started shopping.
Yao Rongen followed behind them, carrying more and more things in his hands, with a gloomy expression on his face.
……
Yao family.
After lunch, Old Master Yao kept his sister in the flower hall and chatted about Cheng Wenwen.
"What's going on with Wenwen's marriage? Why was she chosen to marry someone from such a faraway place? Life in that frontier is so difficult! How can a girl from Beijing endure it?" Old Master Yao felt that there must be something hidden behind this.
Madam Cheng sighed and said, "It's all my fault. I was incompetent and didn't protect her, which led to her difficulties in getting married now."
"Tell me, what's going on? There are no outsiders here, so explain it to me one by one!" asked Old Master Yao with a serious face.
Old Madam Cheng sighed again. She had nothing to hide from her brother, so she told him about Cheng Wenwen's previous substitutionary marriage.
After hearing this, Old Master Yao became angry.
"You are such a bastard, you are so worthless. You sold your niece for fame and fortune. It would be fine if you married her off far away, but you actually married her off to a man of that age! And you have a bastard! How can Wenwen live like this?"
Madam Cheng sighed and said, "Although the previous rumors were not good, but the son-in-law accompanied Wenwen back home, and I saw that he was a good child, handsome and capable, but... Wenwen didn't like him, so we divorced!"
"It's better to get divorced! This way you won't have to live hard alone in the frontier in the future. Don't worry, I will find a suitable husband for Wenwen in the future!" Old Master Yao loves her own sister, so naturally she loves her granddaughter as well, and she feels even more sorry for what she has experienced.
Madam Cheng said, "There is no rush for this matter. I am not forcing Wenwen to get married now. She is a child with her own ideas. If she has decided on someone, she will marry him. If she doesn't find someone she likes, then it's up to her! As long as she lives a good life, that's fine!"
Old Master Yao nodded: "That's right, after all, our Yao family can afford to support you two, from now on, you can live here peacefully with Wenwen, don't leave!"
Madam Cheng smiled and said, "Of course I want to stay longer, but I can't make the decision on Wenwen's affairs. She has her own ideas! It was her idea for us to separate the Cheng family. She has started a business outside now, and we are living a good life!"
"Oh? Your niece is doing business? What kind of business is she doing?" Old Master Yao was very surprised.
"She opened several pastry shops, the food is delicious and the business is booming! This child has liked making strange and exotic foods since she was young. I have talked about her before! I didn't expect that she could open a shop with this skill." Old Madam Cheng praised Cheng Wenwen.
"Okay! Next time I'll try my niece's cooking. I love pastries the most!" Old Master Yao said with a smile.
Madam Cheng smiled and advised him, "Brother! We are old enough! We can't be greedy!"
"That's right! Your sister-in-law is very strict with me! I only ate two pieces secretly! Next time, ask Wenwen to make two pieces of cake for me. I am also very greedy!"
"Okay, okay, of course!" the brother and sister laughed.
