"If you can't stay in the Cheng family, go back to your mother's house and live for a few days, and eat your mother's coarse grain rice with pickles." Cheng Ye's filter for the Pan family was shattered. During the days when he was separated from Pan Ena, he privately inquired about the Pan family's neighbors and learned about what the Pan family had done.
People all said that the Pan family was bullying and showing off, using the Cheng family's name to bully others and offend people, and they were arrogant and looked down on their neighbors.
What the neighbors complained about the most was that the Pan family favored boys over girls and sucked the blood of their ten daughters. The girls of the Pan family had been brainwashed for a long time, and without exception they chose to move out of their husband's house and support their own family. They had to give money when they went back to their parents' house, and they had to pay for accommodation and food when they stayed for a day. Moreover, even if they paid, they would not necessarily be fed and drank well. All the good things in the house went to Pan Xiong first.
Pan's mother knew how to PUA her daughter and make her work like a slave. Pan Ena stayed at her parents' house for a few days. Every day she had half a bowl of coarse grains with pickles and no meat at all. However, Pan's father and mother and Pan Xiong had white rice and big fish and meat. In Pan's mother's words, her daughter, who was a money-loser, did not deserve to eat well. If she wanted to eat well, she had to continue to give her money.
Pan Ena was not angry at all. Instead, she felt that her parents were doing the right thing. Her younger brother was the only root of the family, so there was nothing wrong in pampering him.
"Why are you so sarcastic? My family is in financial difficulty and it's good enough to have food to eat. How can I sacrifice my parents' food rations? You really have no awareness of being a son-in-law. My sister and brother-in-law knew that my family was robbed, so they gave money in exchange for food. Unlike you, you don't give anything despite your wealthy family. Fortunately, I am the one who married the best among my sisters. It's true that the richer the family, the stingier the family is." Pan Ena blamed Cheng Ye for his inaction, which made her unable to hold her head up in front of his parents and sisters.
Cheng Ye was also sulking and just focused on eating, ignoring her.
I didn't expect that there really is such a person in reality, and that he is the daughter-in-law chosen by her. She would rather eat coarse grains and pickles from her parents' home than eat white rice and meat from her husband's home. No matter how good her husband's family is, it can't compare to the blood-sucking parents' home.
At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the reminders from Sister Wan and Brother Chen. Would Pan Ena really ruin his future?
Pan Xiong was taken to the First Courtyard by Pan's mother. After many days, the gate guards had been replaced. When Pan's mother and son wanted to enter the courtyard, they were immediately stopped outside. "I am the in-law of the Cheng family. Gu Qiulin from the Gu family arranged a blind date for my son. If you don't believe me, call the Gu family and ask."
The guard allowed them to pass only after confirming the identities of the mother and child.
Pan Xiong was somewhat expectant. The matchmaker that Gu Qiulin had personally arranged for him was either Gu Yarou or her own daughter Xu Luoxue. No matter which one it was, it would be of great help to his future, and he would be able to become an official in no time.
Thinking of this, he was extremely looking forward to meeting his fiancée. However, all his surprise and expectations collapsed the moment he saw Gu Wanwan...
When Gu Qiulin saw the mother and son from the Pan family coming, she couldn't help but look at Pan Xiong a few more times. She was very satisfied with his overall appearance. His strong and sturdy build could intimidate Gu Wanwan. Thinking of Gu Wanwan's miserable future, she felt really relieved.
Pan's mother asked, "Are you sure everything is fine? No need for a betrothal gift? My house was robbed, and I don't have any extra money."
Gu Qiulin suppressed her disgust and assured her, "Of course, my Gu family is not short of money. There is only one thing, you must keep an eye on her for me."
In fact, long before they left the Cheng family, she used her connections to call the army and demanded that Fu Jingchen be expelled. They told her to wait for news. Presumably, Fu Jingchen had already lost his position as the regiment commander by now.
She never doubted her rights, but she never thought that Sister Wan and Brother Chen were exceptions.
Pan's mother couldn't wait to let her son marry the golden hen. "What are you waiting for? Go get the marriage certificate and marry your daughter-in-law today."
As long as Gu Wanwan can marry into the Pan family smoothly, her money will belong to the Pan family, and the Pan family’s current poverty will be solved.
This tremendous wealth will eventually belong to the Pan family. If they get the ancestral treasure, the Pan family will directly become the richest family.
Gu Qiulin was filled with malice and almost went to Cheng's house with great fanfare.
Pan Xiong felt something was wrong as he walked along, and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to marry Gu Yarou or Xu Luoxue? Why are you going to the Cheng family? Either one is fine, but Gu Yarou is the best. She is the dream of all the children of the noble families in Beijing."
Hearing this, Gu Qiulin cast a disdainful look at him, "You're dreaming. Yarou already has a boyfriend. You can't afford to marry my daughter. If you want to marry, you must marry someone of equal status!"
It was only a few steps away when Gu Qiulin walked into the Cheng family's courtyard as if she was familiar with the place. "Oh, everyone is here. Where's my niece? Ask her to come down to meet the guests. I found a good match for her!"
When the Cheng family took a look, they found that Sister Wan and Brother Chen had predicted it right again.
When Pan Ena saw her mother and brother coming, she went up to them with a feeling of grievance, "Mom, brother, you came at the right time. My in-laws bullied me, didn't give me food to eat, and wanted your daughter and grandson to die. My life is so miserable..."
What Pan's mother thought about was that the Cheng family didn't even give her food, let alone let her daughter use money to subsidize her parents' family. She immediately refused to accept it and asked, "Are you Cheng family deliberately abusing my daughter? Why don't you let my daughter eat?"
Old Madam Cheng cleared her throat and pointed out a fact loudly, "The children of the Cheng family are self-reliant. No one favors anyone. The Cheng family does not support idlers!"
Cheng Miaomiao had seen through the Pan family's intentions. "Besides, our Cheng family has been separated for a long time, and we each eat our own food. We cook together because we pay for food. Your daughter and son-in-law didn't pay and still want to eat and drink for free. You're dreaming."
"You're not speaking up for your daughter. You're speaking up because Pan Ena can't get the money to go home."
"What? You brought Pan Xiong here. Are you looking for trouble or forcing a marriage? I'm telling you, Gu Qiulin, you have shit in your head, right? You know that Gu Wanwan is in a military marriage and has a partner recognized by Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, but you still want to break them up. Aren't you afraid that I will call and tell Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu?"
Gu Qiulin didn't care about Cheng Miaomiao's threats, nor was she afraid of the accountability of the two elders of the Gu family. The two elders would never return to the capital city until they died. She and Gu Huai'en would not allow it, and the lower five families would not allow it even more.
"I'm her aunt, so naturally I have the final say on marriage matters. Besides, there's no such thing as a military marriage. Fu Jingchen is no longer the head of a regiment, so there's no chance of ruining a military marriage. He doesn't even have a job now, so how can he support my niece? For the sake of my niece's future, I, as her aunt, need to check on her. I think Pan Xiong is a good candidate, and the Pan family is a relative of the Cheng family. This marriage is a great one!"
Cheng Miaomiao was disgusted by Gu Qiulin's shamelessness, "Pan Xiong is also a vagrant. Since you think he is good, marry your daughter Xu Luoxue to him!"
"How do you know Fu Jingchen is no longer the head of the regiment? Did you use your connections to get rid of him? You were really ruthless. In order to ruin their marriage, you even reached out to the army. Can't you stand Gu Wanwan?"
"Am I really fired?" Fu Jingchen's voice came from upstairs before he arrived.
