Chapter 197 – Lunar New Year’s Eve

“You have a really good nose.” Wei Ruo said.

Wei Yi Lin couldn’t help but gulp as he looked at the food box Wei Ruo was carrying in her hand.

He had practiced all day just when he was hungry, and the smell of this meat could be too tempting for him.

This is the same store where their family bought the marinara once, that time on Lunar New Year’s Day, and haven’t bought it since.

Mother said that the marinade store sells more expensive than others, and their family has their own cook, they buy their own ingredients to make it will be more economical, weekdays there is no need to go out to buy it if it is not necessary.

However, the family cook’s skill is really average, and the marinade made can’t be compared with the one sold in that store.

“You’re really rich!” Wei Yi Lin muttered.

Wei Yi Lin knew that the richest person in their family right now was Wei Ruo, and she alone had more petty cash than their entire family combined.

“Well, I have money.” Wei Ruo replied, justifiably.

That smug look, as if to say, sister is rich, you envy jealous? I’m sorry, but it’s useless to be envious! If you have the ability, you can also make money by yourself!

“You ……” Wei Yi Lin immediately felt like he was bored out of his mind, he was wanting Wei Qingruo to share some of it with him, but it seemed like Wei Qingruo purposely couldn’t see his craving.

Wei Yi Lin was still sulking, and Wei Ruo had already walked away with the basket.

It was too late for Wei Yi Lin to say anything.

“Bummer! Why do I have such a big sister? Wouldn’t I call her big sister if she was a little nicer to me?” Wei Yi Lin muttered.

Waiting for Wei Ruo to walk out of sight, after making sure that she didn’t intend to care about his younger brother at all, Wei Yi Lin said sullenly, “I’ve obviously taken the initiative to show my goodwill, can’t you be a little bit nicer to me, just a little bit nicer and I’ll obediently call you my sister, and you just don’t, you are a pain in the ass!”

The more Wei Yi Lin muttered, the angrier he got, and finally walked back to Ao Ju Yuan with exasperated steps.

During dinner, Wei Ruo met Wei Yi Chen, who he hadn’t seen for a long time.

Wei Yi Chen greeted Wei Ruo with a gentle smile, “Ruo’er sister, long time no see.”

“Uh-huh.” Wei Ruo answered, her response more than a star colder than Wei Qingwan’s.

Since the meal was about to be served, Wei Yi Chen didn’t say much.

Wei Ruo glanced at the people in the room, there was only one more Wei Yi Chen than usual, Wei Ming Ting and Wei Jin also didn’t come.

At this Wei Ruo could not help but feel a little disappointed in her heart, she had thought that her second brother would come back today.

“Ruo’er is here, everyone is here, take your seat.” Seeing Wei Ruo come in, Yun took the initiative to speak with her.

This was the first time in the past few days that Yun had taken the initiative to talk to himself, and it sounded like he was in a good mood.

Wei Ruo was a bit suspicious, what was going on here?

Wei Ruo subconsciously looked at Wei Yi Chen, who flashed a smile at Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo then retracted her gaze, odds were Wei Yi Chen had said something to Yun.

After taking his seat, Wei Yi Lin’s gaze swept over the meal on the table, and his expression couldn’t help but be a little disappointed.

The New Year’s Eve meal was going to be a little more substantial than usual, but there was no Hsu Kee Lo Mein that he was expecting.

“What’s wrong with Eirin? Are today’s dishes not to your liking?” Yun asked.

“No.” Wei Yi Lin denied, immediately glancing at Wei Ruo, his eyes filled with quite a bit of resentment.

Wei Ruo treated it as if he didn’t see it and ate his own.

Looked at in earnest to eat, the actual Wei Ruo just ate three points of satiety, she intends to night and Xiu Mei two people in the courtyard belonging to the two of them on New Year’s Eve, brought back the marinated food is also to do this with, she also additionally prepared a jar of wine.

After the evening meal, Yun left a few people to drink tea and chat, thinking that today will be more talk than ever.

Yun first spoke to the crowd about the contents of the reply letter from the Zhongyi Burial House in the capital.

“Your grandfather said in his reply that he was very happy and was looking forward to the fact that it would not be long before we could all be reunited in the capital.”

The crowd answered yes.

In addition to Wei Ruo, other people naturally want to go to the capital as soon as possible, can be a capital official who will want to stay in this remote place, and so close to the Japanese, at any time to face the danger.

Immediately after that, Yun added to Wei Yi Chen, “Yi Chen, your grandfather made a point of praising you, saying that you are the most promising amongst your brothers, and he thought you were proud.”

There were eight boys in the Wei family’s generation so far, and Wei Yi-chen was the most promising of the eight.

“Grandfather is flattering, I’m still far from making grandfather feel proud.” Wei Yi Chen said back.

Immediately after that, Yun looked at Wei Ruo again, “Your grandfather also mentioned you in his letter, he told you to study well and learn well, and specifically instructed me not to be in a hurry with your marriage.”

The capital side of the meaning of the Yun probably know, is to want to wait for her husband to be promoted to go to the capital after the fall, to Wei Ruo arrangements for a better marriage.

“Uh-huh.” Wei Ruo answered, her response flat.

On the contrary, Wei Qingwan’s face on the side became a bit ugly.

She looked at Yun, waiting for Yun to mention herself.

However, Yun did not mention her, not that Yun did not want to mention her, but the letter from the capital did not mention her at all.

The second old man of the Zhongyi Burial House focuses on bloodlines, and does not feel the need to care about Wei Qingwan, who is not related to his own family and has not gotten along much.

“Mother, was I mentioned in Grandpa’s letter?” Wei Yi Lin couldn’t wait and couldn’t wait to follow up.

Yun said, “Your grandfather mentioned you, the last time he sent a yearly gift to the capital, your father specifically explained in a letter about your growth over these times, to which your grandfather was very pleased, and in his reply let you continue to work hard to inherit your father’s mantle.”

“That’s a must!” Wei Yi Lin replied with confidence.

After answering the question, Wei Yi Lin suddenly remembered something else and asked after him, “Mother, what about Sister Wanwan? Did grandpa say anything?”

At this question, Yun’s expression froze a bit.

Seeing Yun’s reaction like this, everyone understood.

Wei Qingwan lowered her head sadly, Wei Yi Chen and Wei Yi Lin looked at her and comforted.

“Sister Wanwan don’t be sad, Grandpa he should have forgotten because he had too many things to do!” Wei Yi Lin said.

“Grandfather usually has things to explain before he will especially mention, did not mention Wanwan sister, most likely because Wanwan sister as always outstanding let him rest assured this did not mention.” Wei Yi Chen said.

“I’m fine, big brother, Yi Lin, don’t worry.” Wei Qingwan raised her head and revealed a hard smile.

It was clearly a forced smile, a smile that was forced upon himself to reassure them.

Looking at her like this, Wei Yi Chen and Wei Yi Lin instead became more distressed.

“Wan Wan ……” Yun was also heartbroken, but the attitude of the capital side was something she couldn’t sway.

Wei Ruo sat on the sidelines leisurely sipping her tea, her eyes admiring the changing colorful expressions of the people in this room, with the appearance of an outsider.
