Chapter 94
Jiang Xiuxiu met her current husband Tao Wei on a train. Someone took her seat and Tao Wei helped her.
Jiang Xiuxiu had a crush on Tao Wei, but she was busy and couldn't interact with him much. After getting off the car, she put the matter out of her mind.
But what people didn't expect was that she and Tao Wei had such a good relationship and met again in the provincial capital. In order to thank him for his help on the train, she invited him to dinner.
During the conversation, she learned about the other party's family background. He was from the capital and came to the grassroots to gain experience at the request of Tao's father.
Jiang Xiuxiu has outstanding looks. She has been away from home and traveling around in recent years, and she has accumulated a calmness and competence that girls of her age do not have. Such Jiang Xiuxiu attracted Tao Wei's attention.
The man was in love, and the woman was willing. So it was natural for the two to get together.
Of course, Tao Wei didn't know Jiang Xiuxiu's background. He just thought that she was born in the countryside and was adopted by her parents to the home of her uncle who was a small cadre.
Although he was not very satisfied with Jiang Xiuxiu's family background, Jiang Xiuxiu's own excellence was enough to make up for it. In addition, Tao Wei really had feelings for Jiang Xiuxiu, so he did not care about these shortcomings.
When they got married, Jiang Xiuxiu and Jiang Bo had a secret talk for one night. After that, she stopped doing speculation and profiteering. As for what happened to the black market boss of the commune who had originally done business with her, she didn't know.
Anyway, I'll leave it to Jiang Bo to handle.
Not long after, Jiang Bo was promoted because of a major achievement.
Jiang Xiuxiu didn't know what it was, but her mother's family was promising, and she also had a connection with the honor. She told Tao Wei about it, and Tao Wei was very happy and began to use his family's influence to support Jiang Bo.
Meanwhile, the Tao family also has different opinions on Jiang Xiuxiu and Tao Wei's marriage. Tao Wei is the second child in the family, with an older brother and a younger sister. His brother is five years older and is married with a pair of children. His sister is eight years younger and is still in school. His father is in his fifties, and his mother is in her forties, a wife his father married later.
Because they lived far away, no one from the Tao family came to attend Tao Wei's wedding. This year during the Chinese New Year, Tao Wei and Jiang Xiuxiu were going back to the capital to be with their family.
In Qinghe Village, after Meng Fengdong told Pei Xingzhi about Jiang Bo, Pei Xingzhi went to the commune and went to Brother Sun's house the next day.
Seeing Pei Xingzhi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Brother Sun was very happy and warmly invited Pei Xingzhi into the house.
"Oh, it's Xingzhi. Come on, come in quickly." Mrs. Sun greeted Pei Xingzhi while holding the child.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down. This is Xiaohai, right?" Pei Xingzhi touched Sun Xiaohai's head and handed the gift in his hand to the little guy.
Sun Xiaohai is Sun Ge's child. He is now three years old and is quite shy. When he saw the gift handed over by his uncle, he glanced at his father. When his father nodded, he pursed his lips and whispered, "Thank you, uncle."
Pei Xingzhi said it was okay.
Brother Sun saw that Pei Xingzhi came for something, so he pulled him into the house. Sister Sun poured water for them outside.
"Brother Sun, do you know about Jiang Bo's situation?" Pei Xingzhi asked directly without any further ado.
Brother Sun pondered for a moment before saying, "I know. But Xingzhi, I suggest you intervene in this matter."
Pei Xingzhi smiled and said, "Brother Sun, you're overthinking it. I just want to ask what Jiang Bo is thinking."
As he spoke, he told Brother Sun what happened between Jiang Bo and Meng Fengdong.
"If someone shows off their kindness without any reason, he's either a traitor or a thief. Brother Sun, I don't have any problem with Jiang Bo, but I need to know his background."
Regardless of the Jiang family's capabilities or the strength of Jiang Bo's in-laws, it is impossible for Jiang Bo to rise so many levels in such a short period of time.
So, there must be someone helping him behind the scenes.
What Pei Xingzhi wanted to ask was this: who was helping him behind the scenes, who did Jiang Xiuxiu marry, and what was that person's background.
Brother Sun was silent for a while before he said, "It's the Tao family."
"Jiang Bo's sister married Tao Wei, a member of the Tao family."
After hearing what Brother Sun said, Pei Xingzhi's body stiffened for a moment, and his mind instantly recalled the half month he spent in the Tao family.
"Who are you and why are you in my house?"
The elegantly dressed young master stood on the spiral staircase, looking down at Pei Xingzhi, who was dressed in tattered clothes and had black oil stains on his face and hands. The two formed a sharp contrast.
That day, Pei Xingzhi had just been picked up from Bai Fengyao by his mother, Xu Huizhu. Before that, Pei Xingzhi was repairing bicycles in the alleys, his hands stained with gasoline from the chain, and his body covered in black stains.
Xu Huizhu hurriedly brought Pei Xingzhi to the Tao family without even having time to clean and tidy up.
And this was the first meeting between Pei Xingzhi and Tao Wei.
Half a month later, Pei Xingzhi learned the real reason why Xu Huizhu took him away - to go to the countryside to replace Tao Wei.
"Xingzhi, Xingzhi, what's wrong with you?"
Brother Sun's worried voice brought Pei Xingzhi back to his senses.
He squeezed his palms and turned to look at Brother Sun, "I'm fine, Brother Sun."
Seeing Pei Xingzhi's expression unchanged, Brother Sun finally felt relieved. "That's good. It's true that enemies often cross paths. You were forced to marry Jiang Xiuxiu before... well, now you've married Tao Wei. Everyone who has a grudge against you is now all together."
Pei Xingzhi shook his head. He had no opinion about Jiang Xiuxiu. If it weren't for her, he and Wanwan might not be able to be together.
Jiang Xiuxiu did not have any substantial impact on him.
The Tao family...
Pei Xingzhi's eyes darkened. His father was reported and secretly detained for a year. Who was behind this?
However, these things were not something Brother Sun could know. After calming down, Pei Xingzhi stood up and said, "Brother Sun, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? We haven't seen each other for so long. Your sister-in-law is still cooking. Let's have a drink before we leave." Brother Sun tried to persuade him to stay.
Pei Xingzhi smiled and declined, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Sun and sister-in-law, but I still have to go to the county town, so I won't stay any longer. Next time, I'll bring Wanwan along and we can have a good chat."
Seeing that he really couldn't keep anyone, Brother Sun didn't force it, but just reminded him, "Don't be impulsive about the Tao family's affairs. I heard from my dad that those guys up there won't be able to stay for much longer. Uncle Pei and the others might be able to get out soon."
"Brother Sun, don't worry. I'm not an impulsive person. Besides, I still have Wanwan and my daughter."
Brother Sun nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't keep you any longer. Be careful on the road."
After leaving the Sun family, Pei Xingzhi went to meet Meng Fengdong.
The reason they went out this time was, first, to ask Brother Sun about Jiang Bo's whereabouts, and second, to let Meng Fengdong formally resign from the factory.
The third is to take Meng Fengdong to Gucheng County to find Director Zhang.
Now, the former Deputy Director Zhang has become Director Zhang. In the past two years, the two families have not been estranged from Director Zhang because of the departure of Pei Xingzhi and Meng Wanqiu.
Meng Yanchun and Meng Fengdong are very good at dealing with people. They come to the Zhang family to pay New Year's greetings every year. They keep a good distance from each other, and the two families have a good relationship. This is why Pei Xingzhi dared to bring Meng Fengdong to visit them.
This visit was mainly to solve Meng Fengdong’s work problems.
The county police station was recruiting people. Pei Xingzhi had heard the staff mention this when he was at the train station last time, and he kept it in mind.
This recruitment will involve two parts of examination, one literary and one martial. Meng Fengdong, who graduated from high school with excellent grades, will certainly have no problem with the literary part, but as for the martial part, any of the four siblings of the Meng family can easily handle it.
The reason why Meng Fengdong was assigned to the police station was naturally because Jiang Bo had no influence there. The political and police departments were two separate systems, so Jiang Bo had no control over Meng Fengdong. Furthermore, his immediate superior was a close elder, so naturally no one dared to make things difficult for Meng Fengdong.
When he returned home, it was already late. Pei Xingzhi wanted to look for Meng Wanqiu and his daughter, but he found neither of them.
After asking Grandma Meng, I found out that Meng Wanqiu had taken her daughter out to visit friends.
Pei Xingzhi was a little anxious since he still hadn't come back so late. He went back to the house, took a flashlight and prepared to go out to look for him.
As soon as I went out, I heard the sound of someone babbling to his daughter, and I felt relieved.
"Yeah, yeah, what's that? Your dad is out."
"I took you out to look for it, but you couldn't find it. Okay, stop whining. I've been talking to you for so long, your mother's mouth is almost dry."
Meng Wanqiu held the little guy in her arms, and kept agreeing with him, but her eyes were carefully looking at the road under her feet. The snow had frozen into ice, and she didn't dare to take big steps, for fear of accidentally dropping the little ancestor.
She raised her eyes and glanced ahead, and saw someone who had gone out early this morning looking at her with a smile in the light of the kerosene lamp at the door.
Meng Wanqiu couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, you, a busy man, finally decided to come back. Poor wife and daughter at home, one can't find her husband, the other can't find her father. The quarrels are making me dizzy."
After saying that, he shook the little one in his arms, making her turn her head in another direction, "Here, look over here, your dad is back."
Little Xixi looked over there, and after seeing the other person clearly, she excitedly stretched out her little fleshy hand towards that side, and her clear and loud laughter echoed in the winter night, "Da Da Da ~"
Pei Xingzhi smiled and waited for the mother and daughter to approach. He took the daughter who was jumping vigorously in her mother's arms, kissed her on the forehead, turned his head and stole a kiss on the girl's mother's lips before asking, "Whose house did you go to today?"
Meng Wanqiu, who was attacked by surprise, covered her mouth and raised the corner of her mouth. She took Pei Xingzhi's shoulder and walked in, "I went to see Grandma Fu, and Sister Xiuzhi and the others."
"How about you, are things going well?"
"It's going smoothly. After the fifteenth, have Fengdong report to Uncle Zhang."
The couple chatted about what happened in their day and didn't feel bored.
At night, when the little one fell asleep, I sent her directly to her grandparents' room.
The couple spent a passionate night. When the lovemaking stopped, Meng Wanqiu lay on Pei Xingzhi's chest, their skin touching his, and she could still smell the ambiguous scent at the tip of her nose.
Pei Xingzhi touched her smooth back again and again, then bent down and kissed the top of her head.
"Is there anything else?"
Meng Wanqiu closed her eyes lazily, calming the passion surging in her body, and asked, leaning on his shoulder.
As his bedmate, she certainly noticed that something was wrong with Pei Xingzhi today.
Pei Xingzhi played with her smooth black hair, lifting it up and letting it fall from his hands. "I was wondering if what happened to my family back then was just a simple accident, or if someone else was behind it."
