Chapter Seventy-Two: It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs

After saying the happy things, Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin began to talk about troubles again, Wang Kunjun asked: "You just said that the eighth child has always been absent-minded recently, have you communicated with him and asked him what is going on?" ”

Zhang Weixin smiled bitterly and said, "I'm really sorry to ask about this." First, how he performed, it was all told to me by my eldest brother, I didn't see it with my own eyes, it was not good to talk to him directly, and second, although he was not very active in doing things recently, a little lazy, but he didn't delay any major things, he is a member of the committee, and I am at the same level, and it seems not appropriate for me to talk to him. To say, it is most appropriate for the eldest brother to come forward to him for this matter. But you also know that the eldest brother is engaged in scientific research and grasps Jishu, which is first-class, but he is not good at doing ideological work for others. So, this matter has been delayed until now. Now that you're back, Fifth Brother, I think it's more appropriate for you to talk to him. First, he still respects you. Second, you have been responsible for everyone's ideological work since you crossed over, and it is best for you to come forward. ”

Wang Kunjun also felt that this matter was more tricky, he thought about it, and then asked: "It's okay for me to talk to him, but you have to tell me that he will have emotional changes?" That's how I can get the right medicine. ”

Zhang Weixin smiled bitterly again when he heard this, and said, "I really don't know this brother. The eldest brother and his old man just told me that the eighth child was in a bad mood recently, but he didn't say why. However, with my understanding of the eighth sister, I am afraid that the root cause of this matter is still in the relationship between him and the eighteenth sister. It just so happens that the eighteenth sister was called by the eldest sister-in-law to consult about pregnancy today, you can ask the eldest sister-in-law to communicate with the eighteenth sister to see if you can ask a truth. ”

Wang Kunjun nodded helplessly after hearing this, and said, "Alas, it can only be like this. When I come back from dinner in the evening, I will go and talk to Xiaofei about this, and let her go to explore the tone of the eighteenth sister of the expedition. ”

That night, Wang Kunjun held a banquet in the "Tianfu Building" and invited all the brothers in the city to have a big meal. As before, the shy Han Qingwen still did not attend, only Zhang Xiaofei attended the dinner.

Zhang Xiaofei couldn't drink alcohol because she was pregnant, so Wang Kunjun naturally became the target of the brothers' drinking. The result can be imagined, although Zhang Xiaofei blocked again and again, Zhang Weixin and Wang Feng stepped forward to block the wine, our Wang Wuye was still poured down without accident, and was carried back to the "Qingyuan" by his subordinates. Moreover, since the two ladies were pregnant, under the command of the eldest fifth lady, our poor fifth master Wang was directly carried to the guest room by his subordinates to rest alone.

Under the influence of alcohol, Wang Kunjun, who was poured down, slept until noon the next day and slowly woke up. After a night of hangover, Wang Kunjun at this time only felt dizzy and dry, and the first thing he did after getting up from the bed was to find water to drink. As a result, to his great frustration, there was no tea for him in the bedroom of the guest room. Not only did there be no tea, but there was not even a kettle. Helpless, Wang Kunjun had no choice but to support his body and walk to the outer room, intending to see if it was possible to find water to drink there.

Wang Kunjun came to the door, and before he could open the bedroom door, he heard a knock on the door, and Zhang Xiaofei pushed the door and walked in. She saw that Wang Kunjun had already gotten up, so she hurriedly came over and asked him to sit down on the bed again, and then instructed Yahuan to bring in all the things such as washing water and mouthwash, and while helping Wang Kunjun to freshen up, she complained that the brothers didn't talk about any love at the dinner yesterday, and they didn't give up if they didn't put Wang Kunjun down. Wang Kunjun comfortably enjoyed his wife's rare service while excusing his brothers.

It didn't take much time for Wang Kunjun to be dressed up by his wife, and he regained his former demeanor, and even his spirit was much refreshed. Later, Zhang Xiaofei instructed her subordinates to bring breakfast, or more appropriate, lunch, to her, and she wanted to eat it with Wang Kunjun.

Wang Kunjun saw that Zhang Xiaofei was the only one to eat with him, so he asked, "Wife, why didn't Qingwen come to eat together, could it be that she had already eaten?" ”

Zhang Xiaofei replied: "Sister Qingwen was called away by her cousin Ziqi when she got up in the morning, and she has been gone all morning. I just sent Yahuan to call for lunch, and she said she ate over there. ”

Wang Kunjun nodded when he heard this, and while eating, he asked again: "What did Ziqi ask Qingwen to do?" ”,

Zhang Xiaofei shook her head and said, "I don't know about this, but I guess it's just a whisper from the little sister." After all, Qingwen is pregnant now, and as a cousin, Ziqi should show her concern for both feelings and reason. In particular, Ziqi and Xiaofeng got married two or three months earlier than Qingwen married you, and now Qingwen is pregnant with a child, but Ziqi has not moved at all, but I am afraid that she is a little anxious. ”

Wang Kunjun listened and said with a smile: "Little sister Ziqi is not even eighteen years old this year, and she has time to have a child, so she is in a hurry." Actually, from my original intention, even Qingwen shouldn't have been pregnant and gave birth so early. After all, she is not much older than Ziqi, her body is relatively thin, and the medical level of this era is very poor, and the risk of having her first child is still quite high. ”

Zhang Xiaofei listened but was dissatisfied: "Hey, you guy is too eccentric." I'm also your wife, and it's the first time I've given birth to a child, and I'm also born in such an era of poor medical care, why don't you just say that Sister Qingwen shouldn't have a child, why don't you say that I shouldn't have a child either? ”

When Wang Kunjun heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiaofei to have opinions on this issue. He hurriedly comforted: "My wife misunderstood, how could I only care about Qingwen and not about you, isn't your situation different from Qingwen." One is that your age is there, and in two months it will be your birthday, and you will be thirty-five after your birthday. You must know that in this era, it is also a matter of life for elderly mothers to give birth to children. If you don't give birth now, isn't it more dangerous to be reborn later? Second, you have traveled through time and space, and you have often practiced martial arts for more than a year, and your physical fitness is much more than that of Qingwen Haode, and the danger of having a child is much less than her. That's why I think it's very appropriate for you to have a baby now, and Qingwen gave birth a little early. ”

Zhang Xiaofei also felt some truth to Wang Kunjun's explanation, not to mention, she had never dared to get pregnant and have children because of her work before the crossing, so she always felt sorry for her husband, and now she has the opportunity to give birth casually, no one cares how much she wants, how can she not give birth. Just now, I just had a little sex with Wang Kunjun and was delicate, and I didn't really have an opinion. So after listening to her husband's explanation, she not only no longer blamed him for being eccentric, but asked with concern: "Since having a child is so dangerous to Sister Qingwen, can you tell her that this child is not wanted, and in the past few years, she will first raise her body to be stronger, and wait for a few years for her to be older and regenerate?" ”

After listening to Zhang Xiaofei's suggestion, Wang Kunjun waved his hand again and again and said, "No, no." It is said that in terms of the medical level of this era, the risk of having a baby is not much less than that of giving birth. Even if the safety of the abortion can be guaranteed, Qingwen will never agree not to have this child. Because for her, if she can give birth to a son for me, then her position in the Wang family can be regarded as truly stable. ”

Zhang Xiaofei didn't seem to understand what Wang Kunjun meant, and asked, "What do you mean by this, does she think that her current position is very unstable?" Wouldn't the promises you've made, and the compromises I've made, reassure her? ”

Wang Kunjun shook his head and said, "For Qingwen, I'm afraid that your promise to me is far less important than that of a son. You're not her, so you can't understand her feelings. No matter how many twists and turns have passed, no matter how many promises you and I have given her, you entered the door of the Wang family earlier than her, the fact that you and I Wang Kunjun have been married for more than ten years will not change, and your actual status in the Wang family will not be affected, which can be seen from the attitude of the brothers and the people in the house towards you and Qingwen.

Although I am at best a landlord and businessman with some small achievements, and our family business is not large, the Shili of the Han family can still make us jealous and will not make Qingwen angry. But no one can guarantee that we will always be like this, and no one can guarantee that I will not become a big family in the future and eventually overpower the Han family's shili. At that time, whether we will keep our promises, as Qingwen, she is not sure. However, if she had children, things would have been different. Not to mention anything else, at least this child will have a piece of the Wang family's property to ensure her future life. Therefore, I dare to assert that Qingwen would rather gamble with her life than give birth to this child. ”,

Wang Kunjun's words finally made Zhang Xiaofei clear, she sighed at the difficulty of women in this era, and asked: "Although there is some truth in what you say, according to the rules of this era, only boys have the right to inherit, right?" Then how can Sister Qingwen be sure that she is pregnant with a boy, if she gives birth to a girl, wouldn't it be in vain? ”

Wang Kunjun said: "The reason is very simple, if she gives birth to this child, then she has at least a 50% chance of giving birth to a boy, if she doesn't give birth, then the chance is zero." ”

Zhang Xiaofei sighed when she heard this, and said: "It seems that my appearance has really brought a lot of trouble to Sister Qingwen, and I must love her as my own sister in the future, and I will never let her suffer a little grievance." ”

Wang Kunjun was very pleased with Zhang Xiaofei's statement, and after he praised his wife a few more words, he took advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Xiaofei, who was praised, to change the conversation and said: "Wife, there is something I want to ask you for a favor." ”

Zhang Xiaofei asked, "What's the matter, you can tell me about it." ”

So, Wang Kunjun told Zhang Xiaofei that there might be a problem between Xu Shaoan and Lin Xiaoyu, and that there was something wrong with Xu Shaoan's recent state, hoping that his wife could help him to explore Lin Xiaoyu's tone, so that he could do the work of the two.

After listening to this, Zhang Xiaofei said: "What should I do, it turned out that I was asking Sister Lin and the eighth child." It's easy, and I can give you the answer right now. ”

Wang Kunjun was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "It seems that our husband and wife are really 'smart', I want to know anything, you can predict it in advance, you can tell me what is going on with the two of them." ”

Zhang Xiaofei said: "How can I have the ability to predict the future, Sister Lin took the initiative to tell me about this." Speaking of which, I invited Sister Lin yesterday and asked her to check my body for fake, and listening to her say something from her heart is true. You must know that although Sister Lin is a doctor, her main business is surgery rather than obstetrics. Without any modern medical tools, she wouldn't have been able to give me a prenatal check-up.

The reason why I invited her here was because she had sent me a message through Zheng Zhiwei, who had gone to Jingyuan to do business, hoping that I could find a way to call her into the city. In this way, she can not only talk to me in private terms, so that I can help her come up with ideas about her relationship with the eighth child, but also keep a certain distance from the eighth child, so that both parties can calm down and think about it. ”

"According to what you say, the problem between the eighth and eighteenth sisters is not small," Wang Kunjun asked.

Zhang Xiaofei nodded and said: "It's true, the relationship between them has been in a stalemate or a cold war for a while, and now there is basically no room for recovery." ”

"How can this be?" asked Wang Kunjun puzzled.

"It's not a good thing that your good brother did" Zhang Xiaofei obviously stood on Lin Xiaoyu's force field and spoke, "Your good brother thought that he would eat her in his life since he deceived Sister Lin." In addition to being busy with work, in my spare time, I either drink with the brothers in the 'Jingyuan', or wander between our houses, and rarely spend time with Sister Lin. In addition to chatting with Sister Xueying in her spare time, Sister Lin could only stay in the room in a daze alone, and those days were quite boring. Besides, she can only talk to Sister Xueying occasionally, after all, there are not many opportunities for people to meet their husbands, and a little free is not enough for the young couple to be affectionate, and Sister Lin can't affect the reunion of other husbands and wives.

It's okay to live this kind of day or two, but after a long time, there will definitely be problems. According to Sister Lin, she and Lao Ba have had some friction since the end of last year, and it is getting more and more serious, and quarrels have gradually become commonplace. It's just that because of the fear of the face of both parties, and the fact that the breakup of the two parties may cause a conflict between the eleventh and the eighth, Sister Lin has endured it and has not disclosed the tension between the two. However, the eighth child did not appreciate Sister Lin's hard work, and still went his own way without any changes.

As a result, the relationship between the two naturally became more and more strained, especially after Sister Lin rejected Lao Ba's request to officially get married, the situation became more serious. By June of this year, although the two were still living together on the surface, they were already living in separate rooms and no longer communicated with each other. ,

Since the relationship between two people has long existed in name only, no matter how much they hide it, sooner or later they will be seen by others, or someone has already seen it, but they haven't said it because of the situation. Therefore, Sister Lin doesn't want to continue acting, she has already talked openly and honestly with Lao Ba some time ago, hoping that the two of them can break up with friends. Maybe this is the reason why Lao Ba has been absent-minded at work recently and lacks energy. ”

"I see," Wang Kunjun nodded, "I thought that the two of them could become a formal husband and wife like the ninth and seventeenth sisters, or the twenty-eighth and thirty-third sisters, and grow old together." I didn't expect it to be such a result, what a pity. ”

"I'm afraid it's not just a pity," Zhang Bifei said, "Sister Lin also told me about some things before." At the beginning, there was more than one person in the team who pursued her, especially Lao Eleven, who had true feelings for Sister Lin at that time, but he had to quit because Sister Lin chose the eighth. Have you ever wondered how Eleven would feel once the two of them really broke up? Will he pursue Sister Lin again? Will there be a conflict with the eighth child because of this? ”

Zhang Xiaofei's worry is also the result that Wang Kunjun is most unwilling to see, he said: "Yes, this is exactly what I am worried about. According to Lao 26, there has always been a gap between Lao 11 and Lao 8. Since the establishment of the Feilongzhai Left-behind Group, everything that involves the need to contact the 'Jingyuan', especially the need to communicate with the eighth, is done by the old twenty-six, and the eleventh usually just observes. If there is any problem between him and Lao Ba and the two people who need to communicate, they are all conveyed by Lao Twenty-six, and Lao Eleven never has a direct dialogue with Lao Ba. Correspondingly, the eighth will basically not take the initiative to communicate with the eleventh. If he had official business, he would only ask the twenty-sixth or twenty-fourth to talk to him by name, and never asked to talk to the eleventh directly.

Now once the news of the breakup of the eighth and eighteenth sisters is made public, no one can say what the old eleven will do. You must know that the eighth child promised to take good care of the eighteenth sister, but now it has become like this, it is impossible for the eleventh to have no grievances. In addition, as you said, if the eleventh pursues the eighteenth sister again, where will the eighth be placed? If it is not good, the contradiction between the two people will be deeper, and in that case, it will be very detrimental to the development of the team. ”

Zhang Xiaofei said worriedly: "If that's the case, then it's a big problem." If the contradiction between the eighth and the eleventh is really so big, I estimate that Sister Lin should not accept the eleventh again for the sake of team stability and unity. Moreover, not only Lao Eleven, I'm afraid that all the men in the team will not accept it. Because she accepts any team member, it complicates the situation.

The problem is that, given her conditions and experience, it is basically impossible for her to marry a man of this era. Gee, that's a good thing. In this way, won't Sister Lin never be able to marry again, so she can only be lonely for the rest of her life? ”

Talking, talking, Zhang Xiaofei began to get anxious. As the eldest sister of all the female time-travelers in the team, she cares about each sister very much and doesn't want them to suffer even the slightest grievance. At this time, when she thought that her favorite sister Lin would be lonely for the rest of her life, she couldn't help but feel unanxious.

However, as the saying goes, "it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs", no matter how anxious she is, she can't change the current situation. Not only can't she change it, but even Wang Kunjun can't change it. The only thing he can do now is to try to mediate the conflict between Xu Shaoan and Qian Yuanshan, and try to avoid conflicts between the two sides because of the breakup of Xu Shaoan and Lin Xiaoyu. As for how to solve Lin Xiaoyu's lifelong event, I can only pray that God will bless Sister Lin to meet her "Brother Bao" in this era.

Although Zhang Xiaofei was unwilling, the facts were in front of her, and in the end, in addition to a helpless sigh, she could only pray to God according to what Wang Kunjun said.

calmed down a little, Zhang Xiaofei said again: "Since things have come to this point, I can only hope that God will take pity on Sister Lin and give her a good marriage." However, I think it would be better for Sister Lin to live in 'Qingyuan' during this time, which would be beneficial to all parties. Moreover, this is not only my suggestion, but also Sister Lin's request, you can't refuse as a fifth brother. ”,

Wang Kunjun didn't have any opinion on Zhang Xiaofei's request, he said: "It's no problem, even if you don't talk to the eighteenth sister, I won't let the eighteenth sister go back to the 'Jingyuan' immediately." During this time, I let the eighteenth sister live with the seventeenth sister temporarily, and after I have communicated with the eighth and eleventh sisters, I will decide whether to let her go back to the 'Jingyuan'. ”

Zhang Xiaofei hesitated: "This ......, it's not good to let Sister Lin and Sister Hong live together." Everyone knows that Lao Jiu and Sister Hong are a model couple, and their love makes everyone envious to death. You put Sister Lin to them, didn't you make a heart to block Sister Lin's heart? ”

Wang Kunjun said: "It shouldn't be so serious, Lao Jiu is very busy with work now, and the number of times he comes to find the seventeenth sister is actually quite small." ”

Zhang Xiaofei retorted: "It's not a matter of how many times or how long it takes, even if Lao Jiu can't come, just the fact that he writes a love letter to Sister Hong every day is enough to hit Sister Lin." ”

Wang Kunjun asked: "The seventeenth sister can't live there, and there is no spare place to live in the cross-courtyard where Yang Xiaoyun and Liu Dang's wife and daughter live, where do you say it is appropriate for her to live, and she can't live in the same courtyard with other brothers, right?" ”

Zhang Xiaofei thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, anyway, Sister Qingwen and I are pregnant, and you can only live in the guest room for the time being, so it is better to let Sister Lin live with me, so that I can provide some professional advice at any time." ”

"Is this appropriate?" Wang Kunjun was a little unsure.

"What's inappropriate," Zhang Xiaofei said, "This matter is settled, I'll go and tell Sister Lin in a while, you don't care." ”

Seeing that his wife was so resolute, Wang Kunjun stopped saying anything and began to concentrate on eating.

After eating lunch in a depressed mood, Zhang Xiaofei went to the outer room to ask Xiaoyahuan to come in and pack her things, and she went to Lin Xiaoyu herself, on the one hand, to comfort and comfort her, and on the other hand, to listen to her plans for her future love life, especially her attitude towards Qian Yuanshan. Wang Kunjun called Zhang Weixin and told him the content of his conversation with Zhang Xiaofei, hoping to hear his opinion.

Zhang Weixin also scratched his head about this incident, and he couldn't put forward more opinions on the current situation, but suggested that Wang Kunjun should have a good talk with Xu Shaoan and Qian Yuanshan in person, and reconcile the tension between the two, so as not to affect the development of the team.

Wang Kunjun also knew that it could only be so, so he decided to wait for Zhang Xiaofei to find out about Lin Xiaoyu's attitude towards Qian Yuanshan, and then take the opportunity of Zhang Weixin's wedding in a few days, Xu Shaoan and Qian Yuanshan will definitely come to participate, go and talk to Xu and Qian face-to-face, and resolve the discord between them as much as possible.

That night, Zhang Xiaofei brought Lin Xiaoyu's reply to Wang Kunjun. As Zhang Xiaofei expected, Lin Xiaoyu clearly told her that after she broke up with Xu Shaoan, she would definitely not accept Qian Yuanshan's pursuit again, so as not to deepen the contradiction between Xu and Qian. Moreover, in the short term, she will no longer think about personal emotional issues. As for the future, according to her words, it is "everything is fate". In addition, Lin Xiaoyu also accepted Zhang Xiaofei's suggestion to stay in "Qingyuan" in the name of taking care of Zhang Xiaofei for the time being, and lived with Zhang Xiaofei.

Regarding this result, Wang Kunjun has nothing to say except sighing, only hoping that time can dilute everything.
