Chapter 244 Vigilance
For the sake of her second brother, Sang Ye did provide some help to Wen, who was helpless last year, and hired her to work in the workshop to do things that are light and profitable.
If Wen had expressed something at that time, she would not have asked her second sister-in-law with a skeptical attitude. Now that things have happened almost a year ago, Wen suddenly came like this, how could she not make her suspect that Wen had ulterior motives?
Liu didn't expect her sister-in-law to ask this. After being surprised, she saw that there was no smile on her face. She became nervous for a moment and couldn't help but defend Wen: "No, no, right? These days, Sister Wen often comes to my house to find me. Before making shoes, she asks you when you will have a baby. Maybe she just thinks of it all at once."
Speaking of this, Liu didn't know what he thought of and suddenly stopped talking. He looked at Sang Ye with a little hesitant, as if he didn't know whether he should continue talking.
Sang Ye frowned, and did not ask his second sister-in-law what he was hesitating. He asked a question that was unrelated: "When did the relationship between Er sister-in-law and Wen's family become so good? I remember that Er sister-in-law rarely went to see her before, and she almost never came to our house."
When Liu heard this, his face showed a bit of sigh: "When Gangzi was alive, your second brother often went to play with Gangzi. Originally, I should have been close to Wen Meizi, but I never talked to her in the past, so I didn't get too close. When the spring came last year, a few major events happened in our family. She came to help me a lot. After a few years, I became familiar with her. She has become pretty good. But at that time, she was a new widow and was afraid that our family would not come to her house. This year, there were no such taboos, so she often came to her house to play."
Sang Ye nodded, as if accepting this statement: "Did she mention our family's arrangements for the workshop this year in front of her second sister-in-law?"
Liu's intuition was the key. She was hesitant about this before, but she didn't say it out loud. Unexpectedly, her sister-in-law suddenly asked the point.
"Yes." Seeing that the sister-in-law's face seemed to be a little serious again, Liu did not hide it. After saying that, she was afraid that her sister-in-law would misunderstand, so she quickly explained: "My sister-in-law asked once, and I said I didn't know either. It depends on your second brother's arrangement, so she didn't ask again."
After getting the affirmative answer, Sang Ye also affirmed the guess in her heart. She reached out and picked up the finely crafted shoes again, with a bit of playful expression on her face: "This Wen is so scheming!" She wanted to find a good errand in the workshop from her family again.
Mu heard that his daughter's tone was wrong and asked calmly: "Xiao Ye, is there anything wrong with Wen?"
Sang Ye shook his head and comforted his mother: "It's nothing wrong, it's just that your daughter, I don't like those who plot against others behind their backs."
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Wen's trick is harmless and nothing is worth it. However, Wen suddenly became a widow, and now he has a good relationship with his second sister-in-law who once had an ordinary relationship. He even asked her to defend her repeatedly, so she couldn't help but be careless.
"Yeah, you're right. Mom doesn't like that kind of person. In the future, my mother will stare at Wen. If she is really unhappy, she won't be polite to her." Mu is not stupid, and her daughter is so clear about what she says. No matter how dull she is, she knows that this "person who plots behind her back" is Wen.
For those who make their daughter dislike, even if Mu likes Wen a little, he will gradually feel disliked. Especially when Wen comes to home, his face always looks miserable. Even if he smiles, his face will not be seen much better than not smiling.
Although it is pitiful to lose your husband at a young age and to take on the livelihood of a family, it is inevitable that people will feel unlucky when they go to other people's houses.
If the second daughter-in-law had not been able to get married with Wen, and the Wen family had not done anything to her family. For the sake of the second daughter-in-law, Mu would not be able to say anything or not let someone come in. If this was spread, I would probably be the whole village would be scolding them for bullying the orphans and widows.
Seeing his mother as if she was facing a great enemy, Sang Ye smiled helplessly: "Mom, you don't need to do this. Then Wen did not do bad things to our family. I just reminded my second sister-in-law to be more alert. You really treat people like this as a thief."
After saying that, she looked at Liu again with a bad face and said softly: "Second sister-in-law, I have no intention of interfering with you when I say so much. If you don't feel happy, just say it directly. There is nothing that can't be said between our sister-in-law."
Liu came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Ye'er, don't think too much. Second sister-in-law doesn't think you're meddling in other people's business. Just when she thinks that Wen's friend and me is plotting against our family, I'm always feeling a little uncomfortable."
Some things cannot stand scrutiny, and it would be fine if I didn't pay attention at first, but now when Sang Ye reminded me, Liu unconsciously recalled the little things after getting along with Wen. He could easily find out from some daily details that Wen did hide his own little plot.
But these small details are too easy to be ignored, especially as both women, she has great sympathy for Wen and will not doubt anything about her.
Sang Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the distressed second sister-in-law, he couldn't help but smile: "Second sister, who doesn't have any small scheming in his heart in life? Besides, Wen is really pitiful. Even if he really plans on the errands in the workshop, it's no big deal. As long as it's not that greedy person, it's nothing. What you should do with her in the future will be like."
Liu felt a grudge against Wen. After listening to his sister-in-law's words, he still couldn't let go of it for a while. He just nodded in a daze: "What you said is reasonable, just wait until I think it through."
Upon hearing this, Sang Ye stopped persuading each other, and instead told Mu and others about his own shoes selling to the city the next day.
