Chapter 311 Wang Family

Jiang Haitang lived a peaceful and warm life when she and her children stayed at the Jiang family.

Old Mr. Jiang seems to be several years younger, and his greatest pleasure every day is to be around his granddaughter and great-grandchildren.

In the early morning, the first thing he did when he got up was to take Xiao Taozi, who woke up early, for a walk in the yard, listening to her chattering childish words and occasionally teaching her boxing.

I have to say that Xiao Taozi is a child who can provide a lot of emotional value. Since she came to the Jiang family, the smile on Grandpa Jiang's face has never faded.

After playing with Xiao Taozi for a while, Mr. Jiang would go to work with a smile on his face.

He is old now and should retire according to his age, but because he is a founding father, he has not retired yet and is still holding a position and needs to go to work every day.

But it is only in the morning. The unit takes care of the old comrade in the afternoon and usually lets him rest at home unless there is an important meeting.

In the afternoon, he held Little Orange in his arms and processed some simple documents in the study, occasionally teasing the babbling little fellow.

After finishing the documents, he usually sits with Jiang Haitang and his grandson in the sun-filled living room.

Old Master Jiang told Jiang Haitang some stories about her parents, and Jiang Haitang also told Old Master some stories about herself in the Northwest.

However, Jiang Haitang is always very cautious when talking about these things. She ignores the difficult past and only tells interesting and heartwarming stories.

I know that when Jiang Haitang was in the northwest, there was an Aunt Cai who took good care of her. The old man even said that he wanted to thank Aunt Cai.

Sometimes he played chess and chatted with the old man, and sometimes he took Jiang Haitang and the children for a walk in the military compound to familiarize themselves with the environment.

He was considerate and thoughtful, and everyone could see how he cared for Jiang Haitang and loved the children.

Everyone in the compound saw the two of them being so affectionate, and it was inevitable that some old friends would make some teasing remarks.

Aunt Zhang even used her best skills to prepare delicious food for Jiang Haitang in various ways, saying that she wanted to nourish her body.

Guard Xiao Hu also became the "king of children". He often took Xiao Taozi to play in the yard, making the little girl giggle.

The entire Jiang family building is filled with a vibrant atmosphere.

On the other hand, the old man of the Lu family seemed a little bored because Xiao Taozi was not around. Later on, he became even impatient with having guests at home, and would go to old man Jiang's house when he had free time every day.

The news that Mr. Jiang had found his granddaughter spread throughout the compound.

People had different attitudes. Some old comrades and subordinates who were truly happy for the old man came to congratulate him.

Looking at Jiang Haitang, they kept saying, "She looks so much like her father."

There were also some people discussing it privately, most of them envious of Lu Liangchen's good luck, and speculating on how the Jiang family's huge resources would be used in the future.

There are even some conspiracy theorists who believe that the Lu family had known about this for a long time, so they let Lu Liangchen go to the northwest and marry Jiang Haitang.

These discussions would occasionally reach Jiang Haitang's ears, but she didn't care.

What matters in life is that you feel comfortable; what others say is not important.

What she cherishes more is the family affection that she has lost and regained and the peaceful life in front of her.

Life is peaceful here, but there are also bad people. Wang Xuemei, the girl from the Wang family in the compound, is almost pinching her palms to pieces.

The Wang family is a well-known family in the compound. Old man Wang participated in the revolution in his early years and made great military achievements.

Although his position is slightly lower than that of the two old men Lu and Jiang, he also has considerable power.

By the time of Wang Zhiyong's generation, he was still quite capable and had a high status.

However, when it comes to grandchildren, they are somewhat useless.

Under normal circumstances, with the old man of the Wang family around, even a second-generation rich kid could live a good life. But it happened to be a special era, and so many people were watching him.

For example, the grandsons of the Lu family had to disperse to various places in order to reduce their presence as much as possible and avoid being coveted.

However, Wang Junfei, the grandson of the Wang family, has been spoiled since childhood. He has no such awareness and is still domineering.

In the end, Wang Junfei, the good-for-nothing from the Wang family, beat someone up because he was fighting with someone for a woman.

However, he didn't expect that he would hit a wall this time. The other party was not a person with nothing, but someone he could not afford to offend.

The result was that Wang Junfei himself was sent to prison, and his entire family was liquidated and demoted.

The Wang family was exiled for more than three years. Last year, because the person offended by Wang Junfei fell from power, they were rehabilitated with the help of their relatives and friends.

Before they came back, they were still thinking about bringing the family back to its peak through marriage, and the person they had their eyes on at the time was Lu Liangchen, who was outstanding in all aspects.

After returning, the Wang family felt uncomfortable when they learned that Lu Liangchen had married in the northwest and his wife was pregnant.

The one who was most unhappy was Wang Xuemei. Wang Xuemei was Wang Junfei's younger sister. She was pretty, fair-skinned, and quiet, a typical girl from a wealthy family.

In the early years in the compound, she was also a girl praised by everyone.

Wang Xuemei had liked Lu Liangchen since she was a child. A few years ago, when Lu Liangchen was still in the army, Wang's mother had mentioned it to He Wanyi half-jokingly and half-seriously, saying that the two children were of similar age and had known each other since childhood, so they were a good match.

At that time, He Wanyi just smiled and said that the children's affairs depended on their own fate, and did not agree.

Wang Xuemei was thinking about Lu Liangchen and hoped that one day she could get the Lu family to agree to this marriage.

Unexpectedly, Wang Junfei's family was suddenly sent down to the countryside, and Wang Xuemei also went with them.

Wang Xuemei felt very uncomfortable when she heard that Lu Liangchen had retired and gone to the northwest and married a local girl. How could a country girl be as outstanding as herself?

Wang's parents had similar thoughts. They felt that Lu Liangchen was blinded by lust and was bewitched by a country girl, wasting Wang Xuemei's affection.

Wang Xuemei had secretly looked at Jiang Haitang several times and found that Jiang Haitang had outstanding looks.

But she felt that even though she was not as pretty as Jiang Haitang, she was a girl who grew up in a compound and was a better match for Lu Liangchen.

She always felt that if she had not been sent down to the countryside, Lu Liangchen would definitely marry her and would never marry a country girl.

Therefore, she firmly believed that Lu Liangchen and Jiang Haitang would not last long.

Later, she looked at several candidates introduced by her family, but she always couldn't help comparing them with Lu Liangchen. Naturally, she was not satisfied with any of them.

As a result, it was delayed.

Seeing how well Lu Liangchen treated that country wife, he felt even more uncomfortable and thought about how to sow discord between the two of them, preferably to make them alienate each other.

She thought that as long as the two of them became alienated, she would have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

As a result, Jiang Haitang suddenly turned into Mr. Jiang’s granddaughter!

Jiang Haitang's identity suddenly changed, becoming even more prominent than hers.

After Mr. Wang came back, although his salary was retained, the actual power in his hands was not as great as before.

This is also an important reason why Wang Xuemei’s blind dates are not ideal.

That day, Wang Xuemei went on a blind date arranged by her family.

The person Wang Xuemei was going on a blind date with this time was the son of an old comrade-in-arms of her father. He had just been transferred back to Beijing from another place and was working in a relatively low-income government office.

This blind date partner is 28 years old this year, a few years older than Wang Xuemei, which is actually nothing.

However, this man was a widower and had a four-year-old boy at home.

The introducer praised the other party highly, saying that he had a bright future, a stable character, and well-behaved children.

But as soon as they met, Wang Xuemei felt disappointed.

Not only was the other person plain in appearance, but his speech and behavior also revealed a sense of calculation and sophistication. He didn't care much about Wang Xuemei herself.

During the meal, everyone was asking about how much influence Mr. Wang still had and what connections the Wang family had.

The so-called "well-behaved" child was even more mischievous. He made a mess of the table and cups during the meal, and even rolled his eyes at Wang Xuemei.

Wang Xuemei forced herself to finish the meal while suppressing her unhappiness. As soon as she got home, she locked herself in her room. The grievance and resentment gnawed at her heart like a poisonous snake.

She couldn't understand why she, who used to be a graceful and elegant girl praised by everyone in the compound, ended up having to go on a blind date with a man of this kind and become someone's stepmother?

It’s all because of my brother’s incompetence that the whole family has been implicated!

If the Wang family was still the same Wang family, why would she be like this?

She couldn't help but think of Lu Liangchen again. If Lu Liangchen had married her, with the help of the Lu family, would their family not have been demoted?

If Lu Liangchen had married her, she wouldn't have been tortured in a place like the countryside for several years.

If Lu Liangchen had married her in the past, it would be Wang Xuemei who is being cared for by Lu Liangchen and enjoying the glory in the compound now!

Once this thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.

Jealousy and resentment grew wildly like weeds.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Jiang Haitang was just lucky and occupied the position that should have belonged to her!

What about Mr. Jiang’s granddaughter? Who knows if it’s true?

Maybe he saw that the Lu family was on the rise. Mr. Jiang is old and easy to fool. I don’t know where he found this fake!

Dark thoughts popped up one after another, like wild weeds growing wildly, and could no longer be controlled.

Wang Xuemei suddenly sat up from the bed, went out of her yard, and went to chat with an old lady who loved to gossip.

She can't do anything overtly, but she can give everyone some kind advice.

This lady is the most gossipy person in the compound. She always stirs up trouble even when there is nothing going on. Moreover, everyone already has doubts about this matter.

I have to say that Wang Xuemei's luck is really good. At this time, not only is Aunt Zhao there, but there is also Aunt Ding who loves to gossip.

Seeing Wang Xuemei, the two men greeted her with pretended concern.

Wang Xuemei also wanted to talk to the two people, so she stopped and said a few words.

The topic was unknowingly led to Jiang Haitang.
