Ke Qi chatted with his cousin for a few words, and then arranged them to sit at the table in the front, filling up two tables.
The soldiers in the department are the focus wherever they go, and those unmarried village girls all become interested in them.
Find a military partner and you will be an officer's wife in the future. Qin Wanqing is undoubtedly a good example. I heard that Jiang Zhengyi is going to bring his father-in-law and his family to the city. With the battalion commander's fiancé leading the way, the second branch of the Qin family will surely rise to prominence.
The shameless old woman acted as a matchmaker for them on the spot, and her attitude was so enthusiastic... that the soldiers wanted to hide.
Especially Ke Qi's cousin Ke Shi, although he is only a deputy company commander, he has the best position and family background among all the soldiers.
Not only the villagers, Lin Shiwei and Liu Xiaoxi also took a fancy to Ke Shi and planned to marry him. Ke Shi was a very motivated person. According to Ke Qi, he would be promoted to company commander soon. Moreover, he performed well and was often praised by his superiors.
Liu Xiaoxi asked with a smile, "You must have a very good relationship with your leader!"
Whenever he mentioned his superiors, Ke Shi showed an expression of great admiration. "The superiors are very strict, but they treat us very well. I admire them very much. Not only do they have prominent family backgrounds, they are also the top and second best soldiers in the army and have made countless military achievements. Most importantly, they are very young and deliberately suppressed their promotions."
"I am determined to become an excellent soldier like the commander. Although I cannot reach his level, I will work hard to achieve this goal!"
The other soldiers looked around, "Didn't they say the commander was also in Shuiqing Battalion? How come I didn't see him?"
"Yes, the commander notified us yesterday that we must come to Shuiqing Brigade for a banquet."
"Is it really okay for us to have the feast if we don't take anything from the villagers?"
"This is the commander's order, and it's Deputy Lieutenant Ke's family who specially invited us to the wedding banquet, so it should be fine."
“…”
Upon hearing this, Lin Shiwei hurriedly said, "Just treat them as your own family. I am so happy that you can come to the wedding banquet. Deputy Lieutenant Ke is my son-in-law's younger brother, so he is naturally a relative of my family. Everyone, please don't be shy and eat as much as you want."
Ke Shi nodded, "Okay, Auntie, you don't have to entertain us, we can do it ourselves."
Lin Shiwei was all smiles. As expected of the grandson of the county magistrate, she was polite to others, unlike Gu Peichuan, a poor man who dared to covet the Ye family without any status.
After today, my daughter and Gu Peichuan will be strangers, and Gu Peichuan, the gigolo, will no longer be able to act like a demon.
Except for Brother Bing, some of the villagers gathered around to flatter the leader.
"The Wei family is indeed a great family. They invited so many leaders to a banquet in a small place like Qingshui Village."
"I'm one of those people who eat at the same table with the leaders. That's enough for me to brag about for the rest of my life."
"Even though Lin Shiwei is an adopted daughter and is highly valued by Madam Wei, you should still look for a son-in-law like Ke Qi, whose family members are either county governors or soldiers. Ye Zhiqing will be blessed in the future."
The gossipers, led by Mrs. Qin and Aunt Guihua, began to belittle the Gu brothers and sisters and the second branch of the Qin family in order to flatter the Ye family and Ke Qi.
"Without power or influence, it's useless no matter how good-looking you are. I'm sure that the position of Gu Xiaomei's boyfriend is definitely not as high as Ke Shigao. I don't know what the Gu brothers and sisters are showing off."
"They didn't show off, they just didn't have the face to compete, they were afraid of being embarrassed. They must not marry Gu Peichuan. I heard from the Ye family that Gu Peichuan's rescue of Ye Youmeng was a deliberate plan. Gu Peichuan wanted to use his kindness to control the Ye family, and from then on he would marry into the Ye family and eat the Ye family's soft rice. What a scheming method. The educated youth in the city are too insidious."
"Why couldn't we see it at the time? Fortunately, the Ye family and their husband came to visit, otherwise Ye Zhiqing would have been deceived by Gu Peichuan."
"And the second branch of the Qin family thought that they could establish a good relationship with the Wei family by getting recognized by the Wei family. Bah, they were both picked up, but Lin Xueyao is not as lucky as Liu Xiaoxi."
"She had an unlucky life. She died without a complete body. Before the seventh day had passed, Qin Wenyan found a new wife. Her two children did not necessarily love her very much. They treated their stepmother like their own mother and son."
"Lin Xueyao can't rest in peace even after her death. Is the Qin family unwilling to accept this and want to compete with Liu Xiaoxi for Madam Wei's mother? After all, the Wei brothers have been making a big fuss and claiming that Lin Xueyao is their biological daughter!"
"You don't know, they are all fighting for the family property, because Madam Wei gave all the family property to Liu Xiaoxi, the Wei brothers were not willing to accept it, they and Madam Wei were going to break off the relationship, and Old Lady Liu said in person that when she returns to Shanghai, she will drive the Wei brothers out of the Wei family. The Liu family is so lucky."
“…”
Mrs. Wei was absent-minded about the wedding banquet, her mind full of Qin Wanqing and Qin Jinyu.
How could there be someone in the world who is so much like me?
Qin Jinyu looks more like his father, but his eyes and eyebrows resemble those of his daughter when she was a child.
Did she overlook something?
Or did she recognize the wrong person? But it seemed unlikely. Her adopted daughter Lin Shiwei had always been filial and sensible, and she would never deceive her about recognizing her relatives. Besides, Liu Xiaoxi not only looked like her, but also had a birthmark behind her ear to prove it.
As the banquet drew to a close, Ye Youmeng became more and more restless, as if something ominous was about to happen.
Song Shuyu was first humiliated by Sheng Qing, and then experienced repeated rejections from Jiang Zhengyi. She was devastated and began to doubt her life.
This forced her to shift her target again. This time, her target was Ke Qi's cousin Ke Shi, the most promising deputy company commander at the wedding banquet.
Before that, she couldn't help but feel jealous of Ye Youmeng, "Ye Youmeng, don't be too proud. We will become sisters-in-law in the future. Just wait and see!"
"Ke Qi is not a good match. Besides you, he has other lovers. As far as I know, there are three mistresses in Shanghai. Ke Qi is really amazing. He has followed the ancients and has several concubines. I guess he even has children. You can be a ready-made 'stepmother' and stay alone in an empty room for the rest of your life."
"But you listened to your parents so much, you had no choice in marriage, you were destined to marry Ke Qi, and on the contrary, you helped Sheng Chuxuan and Gu Peichuan. I might as well tell you that I spoke ill of Gu Peichuan in front of you before because my target was Gu Peichuan, and I wanted to snatch him away from you."
"I didn't expect you to be so obedient. As soon as your parents said so, you took the initiative to give up Gu Peichuan. This is the biggest loss in your life. You, your parents, and even Madam Wei have misjudged Gu Peichuan. Gu Peichuan is not a poor man. If you want to know the secret of the Gu family, please beg me."
Ye Youmeng knew that she was jealous of her, and she was even more angry that her fake bestie was thinking about her man. "Song Shuyu, you are shameless. Are you addicted to snatching people? Do you think my parents have never investigated the Gu family? I don't believe a word you said. Even my grandmother saw that Gu Peichuan approached me with premeditated intentions and deliberately played the role of a hero saving a beautiful woman. It's a pity that I was foolish enough to be deceived by him."
"I know Ke Qi is not a good person, but he has a good background and is a good match for me. I know. Did Gu Peichuan ask you to come to me to provoke me? Go back and tell him, and I will make him pay the price of regret."
