Everyone was startled, "Who is it?"
Xia Tingyue didn't keep them in suspense. "Cui Hailu is the wife of Qingning's ex-husband Pei Zexing. They must be related."
"I said long ago that Pei Guangzong doesn't look like Qingning. Could Jingchen be Qingning's biological son? Could it be that they deliberately switched the baby so that Mrs. Fu's grandson can go to the city to enjoy a good life?"
The more she thought about it, the more it seemed plausible. Otherwise, how could one explain the disparity in the treatment of Qingning's children? Qingning's daughter, Fu Wan Ning, was the least favored person in the Pei family. She was like a bullied Cinderella, with no love from her father or grandparents. Even the job she had worked so hard to get was forced to be handed over to others.
Pei Shengtao and Ye Sijun resisted the urge to recognize their 'grandson'. They knew he couldn't be wrong. The child looked somewhat like Qingning. No wonder Pei Guangzong was unfamiliar with them since childhood and not as well-behaved and sensible as Wanning. They always thought that he was corrupted by Cui Hailu and never thought that Pei Guangzong was stolen by Cui Hailu's family.
Zhao Guoming opened his mouth. The bloody story of replacing the prince with a cat actually happened in Xiangyang Village!
Aunt Lu and Qian Mei'e looked at each other and complained, and by the way, they automatically changed the way Fu Jingchen addressed them, calling him Sister Wan and Brother Chen, which they understood very well.
"I said that Brother Chen doesn't look like a member of the Fu family. How could anyone abuse their own grandson? Isn't Mrs. Fu the most patriarchal? The five golden flowers of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter were treated the worst. Who would have thought that Brother Chen is doing worse than the five golden flowers? Because he is not a biological child, they are unwilling to feed him and have no share in building a new house for him."
"No wonder the Fu family treated Brother Chen like an old ox, sucking his blood. I remember that old lady Fu watched Brother Chen very closely and didn't let him leave the village at all. Later, it seemed that Brother Chen saved an important person and was recommended to join the army, so he was able to get rid of the Fu family."
"I've heard about it, too. At the time, Mrs. Fu tried to stop him from going, forcing Brother Chen to give up his place to the eldest and third brothers. She was scolded by that big shot, but Mrs. Fu was very good at making trouble. She asked Brother Chen to hand over his salary before she would stop. Their Fu family is so wealthy, mostly because of Brother Chen. With Brother Chen becoming the head of the group, they think they are so powerful and superior that they don't even take the captain seriously."
"No, if Brother Chen is not his biological son, why do Shen Chunman and Fu Yuzhong treat him so well? Especially Shen Chunman. Brother Chen doesn't have enough to eat, so he can only secretly save his own food rations for him. However, he was caught by Mrs. Fu and her sister-in-law several times. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became more and more outrageous and deducted Shen Chunman's food rations. I think Shen Chunman is the only one in the Fu family who knows what's going on. Unfortunately, he is too cowardly to protect his child, and is always bullied by the second wife and Mrs. Fu and her daughter-in-law."
“…”
Zheng Shican raised his hand in confusion, "Why should the first and third sons be given the military quota, but the second son is skipped? I can understand the eldest son and grandson."
Gu Wanwan raised the corners of her lips mysteriously, "Because he is the second child and is not favored, or maybe he doesn't look like the other brothers."
Fu Jingchen continued his wife's words, "The second son of the Fu family is treated only slightly better than me, and much worse than the eldest and third sons. He looks honest on the outside, but he is selfish and scheming on the inside. He blames the heavens and the earth, his parents, his siblings, and the unfairness of fate. He is also very good at passing the buck. I used to be the unlucky scapegoat. He used to live a comfortable life because I was the one who took the blame. Now that I have withdrawn, the second son's family has naturally become Mrs. Fu's punching bag."
All in all, no one in the Fu family is normal!
"Mom and Dad, why don't you bring us along to the housewarming party for the educated youth?" Zhao Simei and Deng Xiunv came uninvited, and the two stood outside the yard. "We are guests when we come to the door, so I'm sure the educated youth will welcome us, right?"
Her purpose was simple, to get close to Fu Jingchen and Sheng Qing and choose a successor between them.
Considering that Gu Wanwan was difficult to deal with, she specially called Deng Xiunü to help, and of course also called Sun Chunlian, but Sun Chunlian was too shy to bring herself to go and beg for food.
Deng Xiunv held a porcelain basin in her hand, and looked greedily at the table full of delicacies from land and sea, as well as the large pot of pork offal in the pot. She swallowed her saliva greedily, "It doesn't matter if there are not enough bowls and chopsticks. I brought a basin with me. Last time you caused me to split up the family, now you can give me a basin of meat as compensation. My request is reasonable, isn't it? After all, you owe me this. Forget it, I'll do it myself, so that you won't be stingy and give me less."
"Dad and Mom, you are such a jerk. Goudan has become skinny due to hunger recently, but you are enjoying the good life at Gu Zhiqing's place. How can you be grandparents? At least bring Goudan along to the feast. A child won't bankrupt Gu Zhiqing."
"Gu Zhiqing, it's a bit stingy to host two tables for the three of you to move into your new home. You are so rich, you should host 20 or 30 tables and invite the whole village to have a feast."
As he spoke, he opened the wooden door and ran straight to the stove outside Zheng Shican's house.
That shameless face made Aunt Lu and Zhao Guoming look gloomy, "Go back, did they invite you?"
"Discuss her." Gu Wanwan said briefly.
Zheng Shican was one step faster than her and knocked over the large basin in her hand. "You are a reincarnated bandit, right? Who gave you the courage to steal my food? You only care about food and not beatings. Your dog is skinny and hungry because you are incompetent. I am rich and I would rather feed the dog than give you alms."
"What a piece of shit, if it wasn't for Miss Lu, I would beat you to a pulp sooner or later."
Deng Xiunv followed Zhao Simei's instructions and shouted arrogantly, "You are right to force me to split up the family? We are the daughters-in-law of the team leader. Even the old man in the cowshed was invited. Why didn't you invite me? If you don't give me meat, I will go to the commune to report that you are colluding with bad elements!"
Zhao Guoming was furious and glared at Zhao Simei fiercely. He knew who had taught Deng Xiuniu this. "If you go, I will no longer be the team leader. I will let my son divorce you."
Deng Xiunv turned pale with fear, "Don't scare me, I am going to report it, unless my parents-in-law and I are united, unless Gu Zhiqing pays me hush money, otherwise I will... destroy my relatives for the sake of justice?"
She always kept in mind what Zhao Simei had told her. Attending the housewarming party was secondary, and controlling Gu Wanwan was the first priority. Her sister-in-law said that as long as she could get hold of the evidence, Gu Wanwan would be willing to give her whatever she wanted.
"Our Zhao family can't afford a daughter-in-law like you who causes trouble." Aunt Lu was angry at Deng Xiunv, but disappointed with her daughter. "Fourth sister Zhao, put away your thoughts. Do you really think I won't break off relations with you?"
Zhao Simei didn't take her parents' words to heart at all. Her parents had hoped so hard to have a daughter like her, so they would never abandon her for an outsider. "I am the only daughter of the Zhao family. What's wrong with me pursuing my own happiness? My parents should support me. Does dad want to be a team leader for life instead of a leader in the commune?"
