Chapter 298： Wei Yichen questioned Wei Qingwan

  Chapter 298 Wei Yichen questioned Wei Qingwan

  Looking at the dignified and euphemistic Wei Qingwan standing in front of him, Wei Yichen didn't know where to ask.

   "Wanwan, what have you been doing these past few days?" Wei Yichen asked.

   "Take classes at Tongzhifu." Wei Qingwan replied.

   "Besides going to class, has Wanwan been to other places these days?" Wei Yichen asked again.

"Today, I went for a walk around the market. I was going to look at the jewelry store, but I didn't find anything that I liked. In the end, I only bought two silk scarves." Wei Qingwan replied, followed by a smile on her face. He asked Wei Yichen suspiciously, "Why did the eldest brother ask this all of a sudden?"

   Wei Yichen looked at Wei Qingwan's crystal clear eyes, and his doubts for many days were shaken.

  But just to be on the safe side, Wei Yichen continued to ask: "Has Wanwan ever been near Anzhou College? A few days ago, a classmate of mine told me that he seemed to have seen you near the college."

"What am I going to do there? Anzhou College is outside the city, not to mention far away from the city. Women are not allowed to come and go around the college at will. Even if I go, I can't get in. Even if I miss my elder brother, I won't rush Run to Anzhou College to disturb." Wei Qingwan replied.

  Wei Qingwan's words were well-founded and sincere, dispelling Wei Yichen's last trace of doubt.

  Wanwan has been obedient and sensible since she was a child, and never does anything out of line. Not to mention such a shocking thing as hanging out with men, she has never done anything like disobeying her parents and elder brothers.

  How could such a well-behaved younger sister be the woman he saw meeting a strange man in the forest that day?

  There are similarities between people, it should be that he misunderstood.

After thinking it over clearly, a big rock in Wei Yichen's heart finally fell, and he said to Wei Qingwan, "It's better if it's not you. Recently, there have been more refugees in the city. I heard that there was a looting of the grain store. I want to tell you Wanwan, don't run around, you're not safe as a woman."

   "Don't worry, brother, I won't run around. I'm a girl, so where else can I go besides going to school. What's more... I'm not as comfortable as my sister, who can walk around." Wei Qingwan said.

  Speaking of Wei Ruo, Wei Yichen's face darkened involuntarily, thinking of what Mr. Lu said today.

   "Well, if Wanwan wants to go out, she needs to be accompanied by a nanny and maid to ensure that there are enough people around her." Wei Yichen continued to remind.

   "Don't worry, big brother, I will be careful. Big brother should also pay attention to safety. On the way from home to Anzhou College, you will inevitably pass through some deserted areas. Big brother must remember to bring some guards from the house who can kung fu. It is best to go with your classmates."

   Wei Qing's polite words are full of concern for Wei Yichen.

   "Well, I will." Wei Yichen didn't greet Wei Qingwan any more with something in mind, and left after saying a few words of concern.

  After Wei Yichen left, Wei Qingwan's expression changed, and her palms were sweating a lot.

  ###

  Wei Ruo came back much later than Wei Qingwan.

   Wei Ruo didn't come back until dinner time.

  Nowadays men and women are divided into tables, and Wei Yichen not only has no chance to talk to Wei Ruo when the meal is over, he doesn't even see her face.

   Wei Yichen didn't see Wei Ruo until tea tasting time after dinner, but because his parents were present, Wei Yichen had to keep his questions about Wei Ruo in his heart.

  Wei Mingting talked about the recent exodus and the lack of food for the people.

  He is a military officer, and these things are not under his jurisdiction, but these things that happened today are no longer a matter of whose jurisdiction.

   But no one with a conscience can be indifferent.

  Yun Shi also confessed the current situation of the family with everyone, and then gave everyone a clue in advance: "In the current situation, the government may have to reduce expenses. Your monthly money may be reduced to what it was before we came to Fucheng."

  Wearing that, Wei Qingwan took the lead in stating: "Mother need not worry, my daughter is willing to take the initiative to cut expenses and tide over the difficulties with her family."

  Wei Yichen said in a deep voice: "Mom, starting from this month, my monthly payment will be halved. I don't need so much. Today I won the Sibaozhai competition and got a month's white paper supply from their store."

  Wei Yilin thought for a while and said, "I don't need any monthly money, as long as I have enough to eat."

  Three of the four children spoke, and only Wei Ruo, the eldest daughter, sat quietly aside.

  Wei Ruo found that everyone was looking at her, so he put down the teacup in his hand unhurriedly, and said, "I don't need to give my monthly money."

  As soon as Wei Ruo said this, he put Wei Qingwan, who was the first to express his opinion, on the fire.

  As the eldest son of the family, Wei Yichen has the most monthly money, and the Yun family will also subsidize him some extra to facilitate his daily expenses when he goes out with his classmates. If he halved, the remaining money would be enough for his expenses, but he was more frugal in daily life.

  Wei Yilin is still young, the monthly money of the servants in his yard is directly given by Yun Shi, and most of the food and clothing are directly bought by Yun Shi, it doesn’t matter if he has monthly money or not.

  As for Wei Ruo, she dared to say such a thing because she has money in her hands and a rich family background, and she can still live comfortably without the monthly money given by her husband.

  Wei Qingwan was the first to express her opinion, but she didn't want to directly state how much she wanted to reduce the monthly money starting from Wei Yichen, which made her seem very passive.

  Her monthly money is already enough, and she doesn't have as much private money as Wei Qingruo, let alone no monthly money, even if it is halved, she can't support her daily expenses.

  Wei Mingting said: "It doesn't have to be like this, pawning all the rewards I got last year should last for a while."

   Wen Yan Yun said hurriedly: "Husband, those are all rewards from the imperial court..."

   "If the reward is given to me, it is mine, and it is not something that cannot be pawned. It must be the daily expenses of the people in the mansion that are more important."

  Wei Mingting didn't mind those things. In contrast, he felt that his children should not be treated badly.

   "But spreading it like this..." The Yun family still wants to save face, if it is known that the Wei family pawned objects rewarded by the court, even if the court has no objection, they will be laughed at.

"There is nothing to be afraid of being laughed at. My Wei family is in such a situation. How many properties and family backgrounds cannot be hidden from others. Nowadays, everyone's life is not easy. It is very common to sell some family assets. I heard that a few days ago Tong San sold a farm in the north of the city, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it."

  Wei Mingting doesn't care about other people's eyes. He doesn't have the ability to do so, so there's no need to put up a facade.

   Yun Shi didn't know how to answer the words for a while, frowned, and then subconsciously looked in Wei Ruo's direction.

Everyone knows that the eldest daughter has a lot of money. Although it is not a decent thing to borrow money from her daughter, but compared to pawning something rewarded by the court, at least it can be kept from outsiders. As long as outsiders don't know, It doesn't matter whether it's decent or not.
