Song Yanzhi turned around and saw that it was someone he didn't usually know well in the compound.

She had lived a mundane life in the compound, maintaining only ordinary relationships with everyone.

After being reborn, they had no contact whatsoever.

Because they know that these people may seem kind on the surface, but in reality, they love to spread and exaggerate anything that someone does behind their back.

I usually pretend I don't see her when we meet, so why did I call out to her today?

She gave a slight smile and asked, "Aunt Chen, Aunt Wang, is there something you need?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen you in a long time, so it's a bit of a surprise."

"Yes, you look a bit heavier than before. It seems you're doing quite well out there."

"No, her husband is a pilot, I heard he earns a lot of money, how could he not be doing well?"

"Are you here to discuss your brother's marriage with Xiuhe with your mother-in-law?"

Song Yanzhi paused for a moment, then asked, "Marriage?"

"Oh my, you didn't know? Didn't your mother-in-law tell you?" everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"But it seems like this decision was made in a rather rushed manner, so it's normal that you, who live outside, didn't know about it."

Everyone knows that Song Yanzhi and Wang Yanmei have a bad relationship.

It's not surprising that Wang Yanmei didn't tell her.

"Before, because of that Zhou Qiao, they supposedly had a falling out. I saw that Xiuhe's family had even found a second blind date, and I heard it was with President Yang's son, who is very rich. Everyone was envious of her. But suddenly she's going to marry your brother. It's really surprising."

"Yes, I thought I misheard. How could things change so suddenly?"

"I don't know how much the bride price was. The Li family didn't say. They only said that as long as your brother treats her daughter well, that's fine."

"I always felt that this matter was being rushed."

Everyone was chiming in with their own comments.

Song Yanzhi found it strange.

I don't remember this happening.

Pei Hai did not marry Li Xiuhe because he could not afford the high dowry demanded by the Li family.

For this reason, Wang Yanmei also harbored resentment towards her and Pei Yuchen.

People always make fun of this during holidays and festivals.

In this lifetime, I haven't heard any news about asking them for betrothal money.

There's a reason why Wang Yanmei values ​​the Li family so much.

The Li couple both work in management at a textile factory. As elderly people, they not only have a say in the business, but they can also help Pei Hai find a job.

Li Xiuhe's older brother also works in the military, and his position is not low.

However, she has a very domineering sister-in-law.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a hurry to arrange a marriage, and it wouldn't be Pei Hai's turn.

In short, judging from the condescending attitude of the Li family in the previous generation, they believed that Pei Hai was not good enough for their daughter.

But in this life, they're getting married right away?

That's really surprising.

With Li Xiuhe's family background, Wang Yanmei would definitely be overjoyed if she were to marry into the family.

After all, the people she is satisfied with are always good.

It's much better than Wang Mei's situation.

Thinking of this, Song Yanzhi casually replied, "I don't know about this matter yet."

Everyone saw that she genuinely didn't know, and since they couldn't get any gossip out of her, they felt it was a pity.

I don't really care who gets married.

But they are concerned about how much the bride price should be.

Li Xiuhe's family was so well-off, yet she chose the Pei family.

The Pei family's glory is only superficial, supported by Pei Yuchen.

In reality, everyone knows what kind of person Pei Hai is.

He's a good-for-nothing, just indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun, without even a proper job.

My mother-in-law is not easy to deal with either, and my father-in-law is disabled and I also have to take care of him.

Ordinary people wouldn't even consider him.

Unless Pei Hai can really come up with a high dowry.

But if she really had the means to produce it, given Wang Yanmei's personality, shouldn't the whole compound have known about it by now?

Why would they still hide like this?

Song Yanzhi ignored the group and went back to his office first.

She roughly knew about Pei Hai's situation.

I don't plan to interfere much.

I'll just find some time to pay Wang Mei back for the movie tickets.

With two people missing from the office and the school yet to find replacements, the atmosphere is still somewhat tense.

"I heard Zhang Qiang has been sentenced to ten years."

"Hiss~ How come it's been so long? Ten years have passed, he's over thirty now, and he still hasn't gotten married."

Everyone gasped in shock.

"And what about the principal's son?"

"It seems the principal's son settled it privately, paying the child a lot of money and suppressing the matter. Apparently, no one was sentenced."

"It's good to be rich."

"That's right, it's Zhang Qiang's bad luck to run into someone who knows how to shift the blame. He's the one who's pinned all the blame on him, saying he deliberately harmed him, since the car had a problem."

Everyone clicked their tongues in disapproval.

"In short, don't try to take advantage of others like this in the future. There are no free lunches in the world, only scams. I heard that those teachers who rode in Zhang Qiang's car all got sick."

"You're just scaring yourself..."

When they saw the director arrive, everyone lowered their voices.

The director was led by a young woman.

"This is Zhu Yun, a college graduate from last year. She will be taking over Wang Xia's job. Please take good care of her."

College student?

Everyone stared at the young woman in front of them with curiosity.

He looks to be no more than twenty years old.

These days, there are more and more college students.

No wonder she became a homeroom teacher right away.

Song Yanzhi didn't pay much attention, but the other person took the initiative to come over and greet her.

"Hello, Teacher Song and Teacher Xu."

The two nodded and greeted her.
