Chapter 843: Chapter 843: Did You Ever Think About Your Own Reputation When You Did This?
"I don’t understand what you’re talking about."
With a slight frown, Wen Siyuan only felt baffled.
"What are you pretending to be oblivious about?" Su Man’s eyes reddened as she questioned, "You went to pick the kids up from school. Where did you go instead of coming home?"
Wen Siyuan realized what she was referring to and replied in a calm tone, without a hint of emotion, "So that’s what you’re talking about."
"Stop beating around the bush with me! I’m asking you where you went? You were clearly supposed to pick up Wen Yue and her sister from school, where did you actually take them?"
Su Man was clearly persistent.
"Is it necessary to ask when you already know?!"
Meeting him with such a question as soon as they saw each other, and now questioning him at every turn, Wen Siyuan didn’t believe Su Man didn’t know he hadn’t taken Wen Yue and her sister home for lunch, nor could Su Man imagine where they might have gone.
"Do you even have a conscience, Wen Siyuan?"
Su Man’s eyes were full of hurt, and she said, "I was at home making dumplings for you guys, and instead, you took Wen Yue and them out to a restaurant. Did you even consider my feelings?"
Bypassing Su Man, Wen Siyuan placed the braised pork he had in his hand on the table, then walked towards the living room.
"Stop right there for me!"
Su Man shouted after Wen Siyuan, yet he didn’t even pause his steps. Seeing this, Su Man chased after him.
In the living room.
Wen Siyuan sat on the sofa, looking at Su Man expressionlessly, as if he didn’t see the hurt and repressed anger in her eyes at all. He said, "Didn’t I leave plenty of living expenses for the family? Haven’t all the various coupons and certificates been in your hands?
But every day, what do you feed Yueyue and the others? Pickled vegetables, three times a day, nothing but pickled vegetables. The best meal is rice with scrambled eggs and tomatoes. Tell me, do you not know that Yueyue and the others are growing, or do you think my daughters, Wen Siyuan’s daughters, don’t deserve to eat some meat?
And also, is the family unable to afford white flour? Why do you give Yueyue and the others pickled vegetables with wheat steamed buns, and a bowl of porridge each for breakfast and supper? Is it because the family can’t afford fresh milk, or are you deliberately mistreating them?
Don’t tell me you eat the same as Yueyue and the others? And don’t say Pengpeng eats the same as his sisters. As for you, from the time we got married until now, I understand a bit about you. You treat Yueyue and the others like this because you simply don’t want to give them good food, don’t want to spend more money on them."
Having her intentions exposed, Su Man simply admitted, "Yes, yes, I don’t want to spend more money on them. But have I left them hungry? Can’t they eat pickled vegetables? What’s wrong with wheat steamed buns?
Most rural people still eat black steamed buns even now, don’t they? And I make sure they have enough to eat every meal, how can that be considered mistreating them?
And isn’t scrambled eggs with tomatoes a good dish? As for not giving them meat, do you think that’s necessary? Three girls, won’t they all have to marry into other families when they grow up? I’m just saving the money for our son, what’s wrong with that?"
"Yueyue and the others are also my children, half of their blood comes from me, and I hope you get this point clear!"
Wen Siyuan’s tone carried a hint of coldness, "Since you chose to come into this family originally, it shows you were prepared in your heart... In the beginning, for the first six months, I felt it was my fortune to marry such a good woman as you.
And you took care of Yueyue and the others at home so well that I couldn’t find any faults, why did you change later? You started to dislike Yueyue and the others, lost your temper at the drop of a hat, and even got to the point of laying hands on them. Have you never thought about your reputation when you acted like this?"
"Do I have a reputation to care about now?"
Is it that she doesn’t want a reputation? It’s those three little girls who ruined her reputation step by step, so what does she still need to care for?
