Ever since Wenrou heard from Wang Jingyang that Ye Binggang was the heir of the Ye family, she went online to search for information about the Ye family.

But no information about Ye's heir was found.

So she asked someone else and finally heard a little bit of information.

The chairman of the Ye Group has two half-sons, one is a top student and the other is a poor student, but no one outside knows their names or what they look like.

Wenrou knew that Lu Cai was a tight-lipped person, so she didn't tell her about this. But she quietly asked Wen Dazhi about it and found out that he didn't know that his eldest son-in-law was the heir to a wealthy family.

So Wenrou started to think. She felt that when Wen Nuan became the wife of the heir of the Ye family in a legitimate way, then she, as the younger sister, would also be able to rise in status!

So when she looked at the boy she had a blind date with a while ago, she felt that he was not worthy of her. So, she broke up with the boy, hoping that she could marry into a wealthy family like her sister in the future.

Of course, she would not tell anyone about all this. She was just looking forward to it and preparing so that she could appear in front of the public in the best condition, such as at Wen Nuan and Ye Binggang's wedding.

But she couldn't understand some of her mother's recent behavior, and Lu Cai always urged her to visit Grandma Xue. But Wenrou asked her why she often visited an old lady she was not familiar with, and Lu Cai couldn't answer.

Wenrou guessed that Lu Cai did this to please Wen Dazhi so that she could get more money from him to play cards. Now she lost more than she won when playing cards, which made Wen Dazhi very unhappy, so Lu Cai sometimes had to take money from Wenrou.

In order to lose less money, Wen Rou felt that it was more important to make Wen Dazhi happy, so when she was not busy she went to see Grandma Xue and met Tang Xiu.

Tang Xiu's diligence and cleanliness refreshed Wen Rou's perception of married middle-aged women. She had never seen her mother behave like Tang Xiu since she was a child. Lu Cai always muddled through housework, and most of the time it was Wen Dazhi and Wen Nuan who did it.

Wenrou was unwilling to accompany Grandma Xue in the first place, and now she was often so confused that she didn't recognize people. Every time she went there, she had to answer from the beginning who she was, how old she was, whether she was married, whether she had a partner...

So Wenrou sometimes didn't go into the house when she went there, but followed Tang Xiu to work in the yard. Of course, it was Tang Xiu who did the work and she chatted with him.

Wenrou found that Tang Xiu had a gentle personality and spoke slowly and softly, but she seldom smiled. So Wenrou talked to her about her family intentionally or unintentionally.

When talking about her son, the expression on Tang Xiu's face was one of relief and distress; when talking about her husband, there was fear and disgust in Tang Xiu's eyes.

Wenrou discovered that Tang Xiu's eyes were the same as those of the mother of one of her students, whose father abused her mother.

Could it be that such a virtuous Tang Xiu is also a victim of domestic violence?

Wenrou naturally wouldn't meddle in other people's business. She just told Wen Nuan and Wen Dazhi her guess.

Wen Nuan was very surprised after hearing this! Although she had not seen Tang Xiu very often, she had a very good impression of Tang Xiu. In her impression, the hostess of every family should be like this, not like Lu Cai.

However, Wen Dazhi did not seem surprised at all. Instead, he told Wen Rou not to ask Tang Xiu or tell anyone else. His reaction not only showed that he knew about Tang Xiu's situation, but also indirectly proved that Tang Xiu was indeed suffering from domestic violence.

To be honest, Wen Dazhi had hit Lu Cai before, and even chased her around the street to beat her up. But that was because Lu Cai stole money from home to play cards, causing Wen Nuan and Wen Rou to be urged by the teacher to pay their tuition.

But Wen Dazhi didn't really hit Lu Cai, he just threatened her, but Lu Cai always ran away, so Wen Dazhi could only embarrass her in front of the neighbors.

Wenrou had never seen the same expression on Lu Cai's face as Tang Xiu had. Excluding the reason that she was thick-skinned, the fundamental reason was that Wen Dazhi had never really hit her and even doted on her when he was in a good mood.

Wenrou kept this matter in her heart. She wanted to see what kind of man Tang Xiu’s husband was, to beat such a good woman.

In fact, Wen Dazhi asked Tang Xiu to take care of Grandma Xue just to help her.

Otherwise, not only would she not be able to earn 3,000 yuan a month, but she would also have to serve her bad-tempered lame husband at home. The more time the two of them spent together, the greater the possibility that he would beat her.

Now she would go to Grandma Xue's house after preparing breakfast for her husband and would not go home until nine o'clock in the evening. Since she didn't see the cripple all day, the possibility of being beaten was much lower.

Wen Dazhi didn't know Tang Xiu originally. When he asked someone to find someone, the matchmaker mentioned three women and explained their general situation. Wen Dazhi chose Tang Xiu, who was diligent and clean.

After Tang Xiu came, she cleaned Grandma Xue's house and made Grandma Xue very comfortable. Wen Dazhi's impression of her improved.

Later, he thanked the matchmaker, and the lady told him that Tang Xiuren was unlucky. After her first husband died of illness, she married a cripple with her son. The cripple disliked Tang Xiu for not being able to give him a child, so he treated her and her son very badly, beating and scolding her.

Fortunately, her son worked hard and did very well in school. He is now a graduate student. But the lame man became even angrier when he saw his stepson was so successful. He would find fault with Tang Xiu and beat her at every turn.

He also said that the cripple was cruel and never showed mercy when beating Tang Xiu. Whenever he beat Tang Xiu, the wounds on Tang Xiu's body would take several days to heal.

Since Tang Xiu came to take care of his grandmother Xue, Tang Xiu has never taken a day off. But suddenly one day, Tang Xiu called Wen Dazhi and said that she needed to take a few days off because her rheumatoid arthritis had relapsed and her legs hurt so much that she couldn't get out of bed.

Tang Xiu couldn't come, so Wen Dazhi had to look after the old lady, so the noodle shop couldn't open. When Wen Rou told him that Tang Xiu might have been abused, Wen Dazhi couldn't suppress his anger. He thought about it, took Wen Rou, bought some fruits, and went to visit Tang Xiu.

Of course Tang Xiu didn't have rheumatoid arthritis, but it was true that she couldn't get out of bed. The cripple beat her legs so hard that they were so swollen that she couldn't even put on her pants. She could only lie in bed in her skirt.

Seeing Tang Xiu's injury, Wenrou felt distressed, "Aunt Xiu, I'll take you to the hospital!"

Tang Xiu smiled bitterly, "No, it will be fine once the swelling goes down." She then said to Wen Dazhi, "Brother Wen, if you think it's inappropriate for me to take leave like this, then just fire me and find someone else to accompany the old lady."

"Where can I find someone like you?" Wen Dazhi said, "The old lady who can't remember anything is looking for you, asking why you didn't go! Let Wenrou accompany you to the hospital and get some medicine. You will get better soon!"

Wen Dazhi looked around and asked Tang Xiu, "Where is the cripple?"

"Brother Wen, don't call him like that! If he hears it, he will fight you to the death!" Tang Xiu whispered, still looking outside.

Wen Dazhi sneered, "Then don't let me see him!"
