The Humble Family s Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! - Chapter 67

Chapter 67: Chapter 57, Differential Treatment !

“That’s because Big Sister is so likable and adorable!”

Before Wenxiu could speak, Wenkai on the side took over the conversation.

Who would have thought that, upon hearing this, Wenjie sneered, “Likable? If Big Sister was truly likable, how could she have been slapped by our uncle?”

At these words, Wenkai ‘whooshed’ to his feet, glaring furiously at Wenjie, “What do you mean by that?”

Wenjie was not afraid of Wenkai and snorted coldly, “How is what I said wrong? Big Sister brought trouble on herself, refused to admit it, and even after getting slapped by our uncle, she still didn’t apologize, causing the whole family to be unable to even enjoy the New Year…”

“Bang!”

Before Wenjie could finish his words, Wenkai punched him down to the ground.

“I told you to stop talking nonsense, I told you to stop!”

Seeing Wenjie fall, Wenkai immediately mounted him, raining down punches like a storm, ‘pitter-pattering’ continuously on his body.

The situation arose so suddenly, and Wenkai acted so swiftly, that Wenjie was beaten into howling before the others could react.

“Wenjie!”

The Sun Family matriarch rushed over as she saw her son being beaten.

Just as she was about to throw herself onto Wenkai, Zhiyuan quickly stepped forward, pulled Wenkai off, handed him over to his son Wentao, and then went to help Wenjie up.

Wenjie was helped to his feet, grimacing in pain.

Wenkai was not foolish; aside from the first punch landing on Wenjie’s face, the rest had all hit his body, so on the surface, Wenjie didn’t appear badly hurt.

“Wenkai, why did you hit your second brother?” the Sun Family matriarch asked furiously.

Wenkai replied, “Who let him badmouth with his filthy mouth, spreading lies about Big Sister?”

Rubbing his face, Wenjie glared resentfully at Wenkai, “Where did I speak nonsense? Is it not because of Big Sister that our New Year has turned out like this? In previous years when she didn’t come, wasn’t our home bustling with excitement?”

“Look at how we’re spending it this year, not even new clothes, just ordinary food; is this what New Year’s is supposed to be? Despite uncle being a county magistrate, I think even a low-level official’s family celebrates better than us.”

At this statement, everyone in the room was stunned.

Even the Sun Family matriarch and Zhiyuan had not expected their usually astute son to make such a comment at this time.

Sitting on the steps, Old Madam Yan was so angry that her hand trembled as she pointed at Wenjie.

In the midst of the silence, Madam Li lifted the curtain and walked in, her face expressionless as she looked at Wenjie, “It seems I, the manager of this household, am no longer living up to your expectations, Second Young Master Yan!”

“In that case, from now on, this family’s affairs will be managed by your mother. Whatever Second Young Master Yan wishes, so shall it be. How does that sound?”

The moment Madam Li appeared, Wenjie lost his nerve and immediately shrank behind his mother.

He had harbored frustration in his heart upon seeing the simple New Year’s Eve dinner; when Wenkai lashed out, he spoke without thinking and let out all his vexation.

Little did he expect that his uncle’s wife would hear it.

The Sun Family matriarch immediately stepped forward to apologize, “Elder Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, managing household affairs… With my limited capabilities, I would not dare make such claims again.”

“It’s my fault Wenjie has not been taught properly. He was out of his mind today, I will certainly punish him severely when we get back.” She did wish to manage the household, but where would she find the silver to support the Yan Family’s expenses?

Daohua, who came in following Madam Li, entered the room without looking at anyone else and went straight to Old Madam Yan, smiling, “Grandmother.”

Old Madam Yan forced a slight smile, her hand trembling as she pointed at Wenjie, “Your second brother is talking nonsense, don’t listen to him.”

Daohua nodded with a smile, her eyes not mirroring the merriment, “I know.”

The Sun Family matriarch nudged Wenjie, “Aren’t you going to apologize to your Big Sister?”

Wenjie awkwardly stepped forward. It was quite embarrassing to have the person he talked behind be present.

“Big Sister, I was just joking around with Wenkai; I didn’t mean to speak ill of you.”

Daohua also nodded with a smile, appearing to forgive Wenjie, but said nothing.

At this time, Zhigao arrived with Yishuang and Wenbin.

Seeing Daohua sitting beside Old Madam Yan, both Zhigao and Yishuang felt uneasy.

The father and daughter duo, one who had slapped Daohua and the other whose lie had caused her to be slapped, certainly didn’t feel comfortable facing the person involved.

Daohua glanced impassively at the two, then leaned in to whisper in Old Madam Yan’s ear, “Grandmother, I just saw the second brother kick the fourth brother. I’m going to take him downstairs to check on him now..”
