The discussion group is 563743675.
Yu Xiuxiu and Wen Zhongen were no longer unknown figures.
The two were quite famous in Jiangcheng, and even throughout the industry.
Their status could only rise, never fall.
There were some matters, however reluctant, that had to be handled impeccably.
For example, Wu Shangrong.
Deep down, Yu Xiuxiu and Wen Zhongen no longer wished to be involved.
After all, she, like her younger son, was beyond saving.
Any more money thrown at her would be a waste.
However, their reputation and status did not allow them to make any mistakes.
Therefore, settling the matter with money was the quickest and most convenient solution.
The discussion group is 563743675.
"What do you mean?" Wu Shangrong looked at Yu Xiuxiu warily.
"You tricked my son into abandoning me, and now what are you scheming?"
"I'm telling you, even though I'm not very literate, don't think you can fool me!"
"Since I'm here today, I didn't come to go back empty-handed!"
Yu Xiuxiu smiled calmly, "It's written in black and white on the contract.
"From now on, as long as you are alive, we will deposit three thousand yuan into your account every month.
"In Lucheng, that's enough for your expenses."
"Three thousand?!" Wu Shangrong raised her voice, "I came for five hundred thousand! You're only giving me three thousand?!"
Yu Xiuxiu shook her head calmly, "Let alone five hundred thousand, even if it were only fifty thousand, we wouldn't give it.
"Don't forget, seven years ago, you already made a transaction with us using your retirement money.
The contract is still in my hand. If you want to sue, feel free. I'd like to see which lawyer in Jiangcheng dares to take your case.
"Even if you find a lawyer from another city, it doesn't matter. I, Yu Xiuxiu, never fight a battle I'm not sure of.
"I can tell you very clearly, with the evidence I currently possess.
"Even if you sue, you won't get more than three thousand in retirement compensation.
"Moreover, I can exploit legal loopholes and give you nothing.
"Don't forget, once a lawsuit begins, we won't even have the pretense of family ties."
Yu Xiuxiu smiled with composure, appearing completely confident of victory.
Wu Shangrong was swayed by her words and saw Wen Zhongen's indifferent expression.
In the end, she compromised, "Then, what about Xiao Yi's gambling debts?"
The woman who had been so tough for so long finally shed tears when mentioning her youngest son.
The discussion group is 563743675.
Wen Di didn't know whether to pity her or call her deserving.
A perfectly good parent-child relationship had been ruined because of her favoritism.
Yu Xiuxiu said, "The house in Lucheng is worth at least a million. Sell it to pay off the debts, and the rest is for them to live on.
"Don't tell me it's not enough. As long as Wen Zhongyi stops gambling and works hard, it will be more than enough."
Wu Shangrong pursed her lips, wanting to say more, but Yu Xiuxiu sneered:
"Mom, your eldest son and second daughter are already married.
"Even your youngest son is over forty, are you still expecting his elder siblings to clean up his messes forever?
"I'm making it clear today, no matter how much debt he incurs in the future, no one will repay a cent for him.
"If you don't want to end up in a bleak old age, keep a close eye on your youngest son. Otherwise, even if you give him all your retirement money.
"We won't give you any more to eat."
These years, they had been willing to throw money into a bottomless pit, thinking Yi Yi was being taken care of in Lucheng.
Who knew Yi Yi was living such a life!
Yu Xiuxiu didn't mind spending money, but she couldn't stand her daughter being treated this way!
Wu Shangrong knew there was no room for maneuver now. Even if she humbled herself and made a scene,
she wouldn't gain any more than she was getting now.
So, she picked up the pen and signed.
Wen Zhongen spoke with an unreadable expression, "Everyone present today is a witness."
With these words, he cut off all of Wu Shangrong's hopes.
She knew her son. After this, there would be no more affection between mother and son.
Wu Shangrong, who had arrived in a huff, left dejectedly.
Even Grandpa Jia spat in disdain before letting her pass.
Wen Di walked up to Wen Zhongen and Yu Xiuxiu and apologized sincerely.
"If I hadn't been deceived, this might not have happened today.
"I'm… so sorry to you and your family."
Wen Zhongen tidied his sleeves and said lightly, "Teacher Wen shouldn't apologize to us, you should apologize to Yi Yi.
"It wasn't me and Xiuxiu who suffered through that period, but Yi Yi."
Wen Di lowered his head with guilt, "I will."
Yu Xiuxiu paused for a moment, "Teacher Wen, you are a good teacher, but sometimes, it's better to trust your students a little more.

"Parents aren't always right, and what the elderly say isn't necessarily true. Children are still children, but everyone is equal, aren't they?"
"Yes."
Wen Di knew he had hurt Wen Tingxue, time and again.
Often, he didn't even know how to face that girl.
But this also reminded him that from now on, he had to be a more qualified teacher.
After Wen Zhongen and Yu Xiuxiu left, Liu Yue patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. You did well today.
"You've always been protecting the child, and she'll remember your kindness."
Wen Di smiled wryly, "But I've misunderstood her so many times."
From the beginning, to the class transfer, he seemed to have been misunderstanding her.
Liu Yue pouted, "Who told you to be prejudiced? What's wrong with students from Lucheng No. 7 Middle School? You had to look down on them?"
The discussion group is 563743675.
"I…" Wen Di instinctively wanted to retort, but he couldn't find a reason.
The English teacher smiled, "Who doesn't like good students? But we are teachers.
"If we were all like Wu Shangrong, biased and unfair.
"Would we like the children we taught in the end?
"Would they like us?"
"That's true. But," Wen Di was curious, "you say, they are all her children.
"She was willing to shame herself for her youngest son, why was she so harsh on her eldest son and second daughter?"
Liu Yue said, "Because she's used to it."
The English teacher nodded.
A habit formed long ago had solidified her thinking.
As the saying goes, if you give an inch, they'll take a mile.
Wu Shangrong's current audacity was not without the compromise and indulgence of her eldest son and second daughter.
Every family has its own burdens.
That evening, at the class cadre election, Wen Tingxue thought she had no chance.
After such a big commotion, she was too embarrassed to give a speech.
But Lin Ling and the others insisted she go up.
Yu Wenli also said to give it a try.
She went up with the idea of trying, whether she succeeded or not, she would first read her carefully prepared speech.
Unexpectedly, just when she thought she would definitely lose by a low margin.
The ID card is 563743675.
She was elected with a high number of votes!
Because everyone loved her paintings!
And they loved her personality.
Hearing these words, Wen Tingxue was happy for a long time.
On her way home that night, she hugged Yu Wenli's neck.
She chattered incessantly, crying and saying all sorts of things.
In short, she was very happy, happy that she didn't have to live the same way anymore.
Yu Wenli listened, feeling both sad and distressed.
Finally, he couldn't help but kiss her.
The monthly exam at the end of April, Wen Tingxue still maintained excellent grades.
She ranked first in the grade, tied with Yu Wenli.
According to the rules of Class 1, students in the top twenty could choose their deskmates.
So, they chose each other as deskmates.
School started on May 5th.
Wen Tingxue, with a slice of toast in her mouth, hurriedly pulled open the car door and got in.
Yu Wenli looked up at the sound and his first words after closing his book were:
"Good morning, my little deskmate."
