Chapter 867 Wang Xiulan’s Advice (1)
In the kitchen, Wang Xiulan saw that the meal was almost ready. As long as the vegetables in the pot simmered for a while longer, they could eat.
She said to Xie Yumei who was lighting the fire with Little Tiger,
"Yumei, turn down the heat and let the food simmer slowly. I'll go over there and take a look.
They said they wanted to talk about something, but I don’t know if they’ve finished yet. It’s almost time for dinner.”
"Let the vegetables in this pot stew. When the time is right, I'll add some seasoning and serve."
"Mom, no need, I'll come later," said Xie Yumei.
Wang Xiulan shook her head and refused, "I'll do it later. Just take care of little Tiger and don't burn him by accident."
After finishing her instructions, Wang Xiulan washed her hands, dried them, and walked towards the room.
When she came over, no one in the room spoke, and they were still thinking about how to solve the problem.
Since they had just finished discussing such a heavy topic, including the issue of Wang Dana's family, and no solution had been found yet, everyone's faces inevitably showed some difficulty.
Wang Xiulan walked in and was stunned when she saw the faces of the crowd.
She didn't know what they were discussing, and they all looked miserable.
"What's wrong with you? How can you talk about things and make people look like this?
What on earth are you discussing?" Wang Xiulan asked curiously.
Wang Xiulan's voice awakened everyone who was thinking.
Seeing his mother coming, Liu Jianjun, who was sitting on the kang, quickly stood up and gave his seat to his mother.
"Mom, please sit here."
Wang Xiulan did not refuse and sat down in the seat Liu Jianjun gave up.
"Jianjun said you guys wanted to talk about something, so he sent Xiaohuzi over specially for this purpose.
What on earth are you talking about? Why do you all look so miserable?
Is it difficult to handle?
Liu Weihua sighed, "It's really difficult, it stumped so many of us."
After hearing what Liu Weihua said, Wang Xiulan became interested.
"Then tell me what happened that has stumped you all.
Maybe I can find a way."
No one believed what Wang Xiulan said next.
After all, in their opinion, since so many of them hadn't thought of a solution, how could Wang Xiulan alone possibly find a solution?
But it doesn't matter if she knows about this. With one more person thinking for them, maybe they can find a solution with everyone's combined efforts.
"Jianjun, tell your mother about this," Liu Weihua ordered.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jianjun quickly told Wang Xiulan everything, including what Wang Dana's family had done before and how the production team had dealt with them.
Of course, he did not let go of Liu Jingxue's concerns.
When Wang Xiulan heard Liu Jianguo wrongly accusing Xiaoxue of shielding human traffickers, she pointed her finger at Liu Jianguo.
"How dare you talk about your sister like that?
You don't know who Xiaoxue is. How could she possibly shelter human traffickers?
When will you change your impetuous temper? "
"Just wait for me. After I finish talking about this matter, I will talk to you in detail later."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jianguo's face became even more bitter.
After being scolded by his father, he already knew his mistake, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't avoid his mother's bombardment.
Maybe not only my mother, but my wife will not let him go after she finds out about this.
Liu Jianguo couldn't help but look at Liu Jianjun with resentment on his face. He was afraid that he could no longer keep this second brother.
Just talk about the matter. Why don't you skip what I said? Why do you have to tell me all these things at once?
If Liu Jianjun knew what Liu Jianguo was thinking, he would probably tell him that he did it on purpose.
My eldest brother is too impatient. If he is not taught a lesson, he will dare to do it again in the future.
Fortunately, the person I met today was Xiaoxue, a family member. If it were someone else, I’m afraid we would have become enemies because of this.
Liu Jianjun planned to have a good chat with his eldest sister-in-law later, let her know about this and tighten the strings for his eldest brother.
After all, my eldest brother is no longer with my parents, so I can’t keep an eye on him all the time. As for my eldest brother, I can only ask my eldest sister-in-law to take care of him.
The eldest sister-in-law must be made aware of the mistakes made by the eldest brother and reminded frequently to prevent him from making the same mistake again in the future.
After Liu Jianjun finished speaking, Liu Weihua explained,
“We were wondering if there was a way to protect the two children from being sold and at the same time punish the family.
Of course we didn’t want to take over those three children, and we didn’t want to ruin the reputation of the production team or offend it.
But after thinking for a long time, I couldn't come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties."
After listening to this, Wang Xiulan looked at everyone with suspicion.
The look in her eyes was as if she was looking at a group of fools.
"So you guys have been thinking about this for a long time, thinking of yourself as a bitter melon face, just to come up with a solution to this problem?"
Liu Jianguo nodded as a matter of course, "What else?
Since we have encountered this matter, we must intervene. We can't just let that family sell the two girls."
Wang Xiulan looked at Liu Jianguo and said, "You are in charge, so let me ask you, in what capacity do you manage this matter?
You are the father or mother of those two girls. What qualifications do you have to interfere in this matter?
Their own father, mother, and grandmother want to sell them off. How can you, a person who has no relationship with them, help them?"
"Still want to come up with a good solution. Even if you come up with a good solution, why should others listen to you?
Have you forgotten that we are still guilty? What qualifications do we have to interfere in other people's family affairs?
If this matter gets out, I'm afraid we will be charged with another crime."
Wang Xiulan's words reminded Mr. Zou, Mr. Wu, and Liu Weihua.
Zou Lao smiled bitterly, "Yes, we have lived too comfortably, and have forgotten that we are all guilty now, so what qualifications do we have to interfere in the affairs of other people's production teams?
Even if people treat us a little better, we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously.”
When Liu Jianguo heard this, he quickly retorted, "You can't say that.
Even if Grandpa Zou and you are not suitable to take care of this matter for the time being, we still have me, my second brother, and Xiaoxue, and we can take care of it."
"You guys are in charge, why do you have the right to be in charge?
Xiaoxue is an educated youth who went to the countryside. After all, she still has to please the production team and live her life according to the production team's mood.
She put in so much effort and did so many good things for the production team that the villagers treated her differently.
If she interferes with the production team's affairs, it will definitely ruin the villagers' impression of her, and her life will be worse than before."
“As for Jianguo and Jianjun, you are soldiers, yes, but when you go out on missions, will your superiors tell you not to interfere in local affairs?
You are not even allowed to interfere in local affairs, but when you take a vacation, you interfere in the affairs of the production team.
Who gave you the courage?"
"If someone sends a letter to your troops, you will probably be punished.
When you take a vacation, you also take your brain on vacation, and you don't use your brain anymore." Wang Xiulan accused him bluntly.
