Chapter 993 Thirty Years of War (1/2)

"Weiwei, don't cry. Isn't my mother still here? What she said is a last resort. But don't worry, with your mother's status in front of your father and his love for you, you will never ended up like that.”

Li Waner comforted her for a long time and finally coaxed Qi Yuwei away. However, she had been crying for too long, and the makeup on her face had been smeared, making her look a little more embarrassed.

At this moment, Qi Heng pushed the door open and walked in from outside the house. Looking at Qi Yuwei who was crying so hard that her makeup was all stained, Qi Heng raised his eyebrows and asked casually: "Hey, who has offended us today? You are the fourth young lady in the family, why are you crying like this? You are not good-looking, so if you cry like this, you really can't help it."

Qi Yuwei had stopped crying originally, but Qi Heng's arrival directly made her cry again. She lay in Li Waner's arms and burst into tears: "Mom, look at Third Brother, he bullies me. woo woo woo woo……"

Li Waner saw that the person she had finally coaxed was made to cry by Qi Heng's words. She was so angry that she raised her head and glared at the son in front of her who was dressed like a swinger.

"A Heng, is your head broken? Is your sister ugly? She is just like a fairy daughter descending to earth. Jinling City is not much prettier than our Weiwei. It makes her sad to say that."

However, after hearing Li Waner's words, Qi Heng exclaimed exaggeratedly, and then put on a strange look: "No, no, no, I originally thought that my sister was just not good-looking, but it turned out that my sister was not good-looking. She is so stupid. She was given all the nutrients when she was born. Can’t she absorb the nutrients to grow her brain? She is good-looking. If she were good-looking, there would be no good-looking women in Jinling City.”

"Wow……"

Qi Yuwei was so angry that she burst into tears and cursed Qi Heng vaguely while crying.

This brother of hers is her twin, and he is only two hours older than her. He is said to be her brother, but in the end he is not as good as the two brothers separated by his belly. At least the eldest brother has good things after giving them to Qi Yutong. He would give her something less good. The second brother, not to mention anything else, had never treated her badly on the surface. Only her brother, who was not doing his job all day long, would be angry with her every day.

Li Waner was also angry. She glared at Qi Heng and saw that he seemed unwilling to give up and was about to continue teasing Qi Yuwei. Li Waner couldn't help scolding: "Qi Heng, what are you doing? You must make your sister angry. Isn’t it okay to come out? Is this how you want to be a brother?”

Li Waner's tone became stern. When Qi Heng saw this, he didn't dare to continue to be arrogant. He said angrily: "Okay, okay, I just joked with you. You said you are not a good person." You are beautiful without being teased, you are the most beautiful, right?”

However, the last two sentences he said were careless. Anyone who listened would know that he was not distracted, but was just trying to fool people.

Li Waner also knows her son's character. Although he is twenty-two years old this year, he doesn't know how he developed this character. He is like a child and has no definite character. What he can say is the limit. No matter how nice it sounds, it is absolutely impossible for him to say it.

"Okay, okay, your brother has admitted your mistake. He is such a generous person. Don't argue with him."

Compared with Qi Heng, Li Waner loves Qi Yuwei more. After all, her daughter is a little cotton-padded jacket, caring and sensible, and girls have to get married and become someone else's family in the future, even if they have to be treated at home. Chong, even after getting married, you have to listen to other people's words.

For this reason, when her daughter is still at home, she will be willing to pamper her more.

Qi Heng stood aside and watched Li Waner coaxing Qi Yuwei in a soft voice. He didn't feel any jealousy at all. Only women need coaxing. Why would he, a big man, be jealous of this?

Seeing that Qi Yuwei's crying subsided, Qi Heng said in a calm tone: "Tomorrow I have made an appointment with several young men from the Song family, the Zhao family and the Zhang family to go for an outing together. Don't tell me that I am not a good brother. I’ll take care of you, and if you’re willing to go, I wouldn’t mind taking you along.”

It was obviously a good intention, but when Qi Heng said this, it sounded like he wanted to be beaten. Qi Yuwei glared at him fiercely and said angrily: "Where are you going? The young masters you know are all the same as you. They are all just friends, and if I go, will it be like a rabbit falling into a wolf's den? I won't go."

My third brother has accomplished nothing. He is obviously only one year younger than Qi Yan, but he seems to have lost several nerves. He holds most of the Qi family's factories and is enjoying a prosperous life here. In Jinling City, the name of Second Young Master Qi is even louder than that of First Young Master Qi.

On the other hand, Qi Heng spends his days messing with cats and dogs, wandering around with the children of those aristocratic families. Who among the entire dandy family and the entire respectable family in Jinling City does not know his virtue? They just called him Third Young Master Qi for their father's sake, but the weight was far less than that of First Young Master Qi and Second Young Master Qi.

However, he seemed to know nothing, enjoying himself all day long and being very arrogant.

It is also because of his reputation as a libertine that even though Qi Heng has a nice face, no serious young lady can like her. Qi Yuwei feels that a large part of the reason why it is difficult for her to get married is because of herself. Her brother is such a person. As long as he is a little more reliable, not to say that he is as outstanding as the eldest brother or the second brother, at least he is decent. Don't let her look like a playboy drag her down.

When Qi Heng saw Qi Yuwei's appearance, he didn't know what she was thinking. She just disliked him for not being able to stand on the stage and not being able to help her. This girl's thoughts were very shallow and she kept everything in front of her. On, no pretense at all.

But after all, she was his sister, so Qi Heng didn't bother to argue with her about these things. Seeing that she didn't want to go out with him, Qi Heng shrugged and said, "Since you don't want to go together, forget it. Come with me this time." Those who went out were all young talents, all of them young, promising, and handsome. The most important thing is that none of them were engaged, and there were no glamorous girls at home. They are completely in line with your aesthetics. I can tell you, There is no shop like this after passing this village. It took a lot of effort to gather so many people. I won’t be so kind next time.”

However, Qi Yuwei doesn't believe even a single punctuation mark of what Qi Heng said. This person talks so much that he talks like farts. It would be great if one of his ten sentences is true. He is said to be a young talent, but in fact I'm afraid they are all oily-faced young men. How can a person like him know any outstanding people?

"If you don't go, I won't go. Don't try to get me close to your friends. I can tell you that I am the fourth young lady of the Marshal's Mansion, not one of those shabby women in Yunxiang House."

As soon as she said these words, the smile on Li Waner's face became a little unbearable. She came out of Yunxiang Tower. Qi Yuwei said that she was a bad woman. Didn't she get scolded in it?

Qi Yuwei was furious and had so much fun arguing with Qi Heng that she didn't notice anything was wrong with Li Waner, but even if she had the idea, she probably wouldn't care. Children who grow up being favored are always confident and hurt the ones they love so much. What about the people? Anyway, she was sure that the other party wouldn't care about these trivial things, so how could she think about whether her words had hurt the other party?

However, Qi Heng, who seemed to be carefree, noticed that Li Waner's mood was not right. He put away the smile on his face, glanced at Qi Yuwei lightly, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Forget it if you don't want to go, I'm just being polite. I just invited you, but you really came here. Mom, my eldest brother is back. I want to treat him to a meal and connect with him. Do you have any money? "

When facing Qi Yuwei, Qi Heng had a cold face, but when he turned to face Li Waner, he smiled. That face that was 67% similar to Li Waner looked pleasing to the eye.

Li Waner's emotions came and went quickly. When she saw Qi Heng and her looking so playful and smiling, she glared at Qi Heng and said angrily: "You know how to ask me for money, so you are asking me this month." How many times have you asked for it? Do you really think that since your mother is a banker, you can just take the money?"

After being reprimanded, Qi Heng was not annoyed. He still smiled and seemed to have a good temper: "Mom, to me, you are the bank. I love you the most."

Qi Heng opened his mouth to speak such disgusting words. Li Waner was so happy that he coaxed her, but she still pretended to be angry: "You know how to coax me, you, you, if you can coax your mother... If you use it to coax the little girl, I’m afraid I’ll have a grandson by now.”

Qi Heng smiled and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my mother. I can only say sweet words when I'm facing my mother. I'm stuck when I'm facing other girls. So can you, mother." You know, I’m a showman, why would I have the nerve to have sex with other people?”

Li Waner was so coaxed that she smiled happily, got up and went back to the inner room to get money for Qi Heng.

Qi Yuwei watched in stunned silence as Qi Heng coaxed the money out of Li Waner's hand with just a few words. She silently gave Qi Heng a thumbs up. Even though she had seen it countless times, she could not help but admire Qi Heng. His ability to tell lies with open eyes, his mouth was like honey. He coaxed his mother to come over with just a few words. Why didn't she have Qi Heng's ability?

"Third brother, why do you have such a long mouth? Can you teach me how to coax people? If I were half as capable as you, I wouldn't be like this."

Qi Heng glanced at Qi Yuwei and said calmly: "You have no ability. When you coax daddy, don't you say the same thing? If you use your ability to coax daddy on mother, ”

Qi Yuwei doesn't know how to coax people, but she just refuses to use her coaxing thoughts on Li Waner. However, her mother still thinks that Qi Yuwei is sensible and considerate, and she dotes on her to death. But in fact, this girl is a bit pampered. She doesn't know what's good or bad, she only knows how to take things from her, but she doesn't know anything in return.

However, this kind of thing can be fought or endured. How can a smart woman like Li Waner not know what her daughter is like? It's just that he doesn't want to think about it deeply. Why should he step in and become a bad guy?

Li Waner walked out of the house shortly after entering. She also brought out a lot of cash and stuffed it all into Qi Heng's hands.

"That's all. These are all we have left for this month's expenses. Take them all. Remember to make your eldest brother happy. Maybe he can give you a few more."

If it was someone else, Li Wan'er wouldn't be so generous, but Qi Wang was different. Although Li Wan'er didn't like Qin Minyan, the mistress of the house, she didn't have any opinion on Qi Wang, the eldest young master. She was a contented woman. It was her limit to be able to get from a prostitute to her current position. If her son was more motivated, she would have to fight for it. But her son didn't have much of a future. I'm afraid he would have to rely on Qi Wang to live in the future.

Compared to Qi Yan, Qi Wang was a kind man. He was very good to his two children. If he inherited the Marshal's Mansion in the future, he would not be too bad to Qi Heng because they were blood brothers.

People's feelings are mutual. Only by exchanging true feelings for true feelings can one make a living under someone else's hands in the future. So as long as her son said that he was dating Qi Wang, Li Wan'er would naturally agree with both hands.

"Take it, don't make it too shabby. What kind of scenes has your elder brother not seen? Just be more attentive. You haven't seen each other for a few months, so you should get close to each other and don't be unfamiliar. Do you understand?"

Li Wan'er explained in detail, and Qi Heng listened to what Li Wan'er said patiently: "Mom, I understand. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Knowing that Qi Heng had something important to do, Li Wan'er did not stop him. After giving him a few more instructions, she let him go.

When Qi Heng walked to the door of the room, he suddenly stopped. He looked back at Qi Yuwei standing next to Li Wan'er, pulled the corner of his mouth, and showed a malicious smile. Li Wan'er suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. Before she could stop Qi Heng, he had already said what he wanted to say.

"Mom, you'd better not let the fourth sister wear a green dress. She looks like a leek seedling in the field. Don't you think her face is green?"

"Qi Heng!!"

Li Wan'er didn't expect that her son would leave and throw such a big thunder. She was so angry that she shouted at Qi Heng, but Qi Heng had already left with a big laugh.

He just walked out of the door and heard Qi Yuwei crying in the house. Qi Heng was in a good mood. He hummed a song and walked slowly out of the yard.

It was a really good weather today, and people's mood seemed to be much better.

***

Throughout the ages, people have always respected the East. Jinling City is also an old city that has existed for hundreds of years. Although many buildings in the city have undergone earth-shaking changes over the past hundred years, many things have remained unchanged.

For example, the eastern part is a wealthy area, where most of the residents are dignitaries, while the western part is a shantytown. Not only is it remote, but the shabby shanties are crowded together, forming a large area.

Even in a prosperous city like Jinling City, there are many people from the lower class living there. They are busy every day, but in many cases, the money they earn is not even enough to make a living. A family of five or six people live in a shanty of less than 20 square meters. The house is drafty on all sides, and the people whose walls are not tightly pasted can even see the outside scenery through the cracks in the wall.

But even in the shantytowns, people are divided into different classes. Those who have decent jobs are more respectable than those who have no food to eat. Even the shantytowns they live in are much larger. Although each room is small and the sound insulation is not good, coughs here can be heard there, and all noises can be heard clearly, but at least it is much better than those families sleeping on the same kang.

Before the sun rises, the shantytown has already fallen into a busy scene. In this place where almost every household is next to each other, every household basically has no secrets. After all, the sound insulation is there. If the sound is a little louder, others can hear it clearly. Even if you want to have a secret, you can't hide it.

In a yard surrounded by a wooden fence at the edge of the shantytown, the wooden door of the north room was opened, and a young girl with two braids came out of the room. She was wearing a gray coarse cloth dress with patches on top of patches, which looked very worn, but she washed the clothes very clean. Although her appearance was not outstanding, she looked very comfortable, and with her gentle temperament, it was easy for people to have a good impression of her.

The girl went to the kitchen in the corner to prepare breakfast first. There was nothing particular about food for people like them. A pot of porridge soup, paired with the vegetable dumplings made yesterday, was the family's breakfast.

After cooking, the girl ate two mouthfuls to fill herself up, and then went out again, put the family's dirty clothes into the wooden basin, held them with her two thin arms, and walked laboriously towards the river not far away.

The girl's family had a good life in the shantytown. There was a well in the house, but the well was only for the family's food and drink, not for washing clothes. She would carry the clothes to the river to wash every day.

When the girl went there, a large group of people had gathered by the river. When they saw her daughter coming, they smiled and greeted her. It was obvious that the girl was very popular here.

"Feng girl, are you out washing clothes?"

"Feng girl, your family isn't that big, why do you have so many clothes to wash every day? Your mother is really a fool, how can you wash clothes often these days? What if they get damaged?"

"Feng girl, you are not young anymore, have you made plans for yourself? My Dabao is about the same age as you, if you are willing, how about I hire you?"

The girl was obviously liked by these aunts and grandmas, who greeted her with smiles, some cared about her, some scolded her parents, and some wanted to help her find a spouse.

After hearing what everyone said, the girl laughed, with a small dimple on her face: "Aunt, Aunt, my mother likes cleanliness, and she washes dirty clothes. Anyway, I have nothing to do, and it won't be too tiring to wash clothes."

"My family's clothes are made of coarse cloth that my mother bought specially. They are very durable and will not go bad even if they are washed several times. My little brother is a naughty boy, and his clothes are not durable, so they get dirty quickly, so naturally there are many."

"Aunt Li, I can't make the decision as a girl. You should talk to my mother. If my mother is willing, then I am willing."

Although the girl is not very old, her words are flawless, so that no one can find any fault with her. In addition, she always has a smiling look, so everyone is comfortable to see, and naturally they will not be angry with her.

"Feng girl, auntie is also kind-hearted. You are not young anymore, you should think more about yourself."

The girl pursed her lips and smiled, and rubbed the clothes diligently: "Auntie Li, I know, thank you for your concern."

Auntie Li felt sorry for the girl when she saw her like this. She had tried to test the girl several times in the past few days, but she never responded. She just told her mother to make the decision and she would listen to her mother. But the problem is that her mother is not an easy person to get along with. Before, she just revealed her son's idea of ​​marrying Feng girl, but the old woman actually asked for three dollars in cash before she was willing to marry her daughter.

What a joke? Although Feng girl is a good person, she is good at taking care of the family and the outside world, and she looks good. At first glance, she is easy to raise, but even so, how can she be worth three dollars?

Originally, she wanted to start with Feng girl, but she was like a loach, slippery and didn't respond to anything. She could only worry and wanted to do something, but seeing her look, she couldn't do anything immoral.

Forget it, this girl is still young and not smart, so let my boy get along with her for a while first. If she likes my boy and insists on marrying him, how can Liu Shufen, the old woman, not agree?
