After discovering that Fu Wanning was not joking, Cui Hailu felt as if the sky had fallen. Without Pei Zhenghong's subsidies, it meant that she could not squander money and would have to be frugal in the future, even having to be mindful of her in-laws' attitudes when taking money.
For Pei Antong, Pei Guangzong, and Pei Yaozu, they will no longer be able to buy expensive clothes and toys, nor can they casually invite people to dinner; they will no longer have anything to show off.
Pei Yaozu was only twelve years old, but he had already been corrupted. "If you dare not give it to me, I will beat you to death and see if Pei Zhenghong and the others dare not give in?"
Pei Tai knew that Fu Wanning was not easy to fool. Although he and his son worked for the government, and his wife and son-in-law were from the Zhao family, a family of the lower five noble families, the Pei family only knew how to squander money and could not save any money every month. This was a fact.
The Pei family had always been an ordinary family with no wealth. Later, the biological father, envious of the wealth of his relatives, deliberately killed the couple and then took in their son as his adopted son. On the surface, he appeared to be affectionate and loving, but in his heart, he coveted the adopted son's family fortune. Moreover, the adopted son's fiancée was even wealthier than the adopted son and could help revive the Pei family in the future. It can be said that the rise of the Pei family was inseparable from the help of the adopted son.
In terms of wealth, Pei Tai married a member of a collateral branch of the Zhao family, gaining access to the Zhao family's resources and support. Gradually, he gained a reputation in the capital. Then, his daughter married a member of the Zhao family's collateral branch, the Pigeon Tail Society in the capital, elevating the Pei family to a new level.
That's why they conspired with their son-in-law to ruin the Pei family's adopted son, intending to seize their property. Unexpectedly, the Pei family's adopted son decisively used his connections to protect his son and daughter-in-law, so they failed and had to find another way to bring down Pei Zhenghong's family.
They were originally quite confident, but somehow Pei Zhenghong's family got lucky and was protected by a powerful stranger, someone even the Pigeon Tail Society wouldn't dare to mess with.
"Wan Ning, if you have any grievances, tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will stand up for you."
Fu Wanning didn't hesitate to tear off the mask in front of everyone, "Pei Antong is lazy and good-for-nothing. She was reported and had to go to the countryside. Cui Hailu couldn't bear to part with her daughter, so she set her sights on me, asking me to transfer my job to her and let me go to the countryside in her place. Of course I disagreed. I still have a job. I got my job through my own exams. Why should Pei Antong, who didn't even finish junior high school, benefit from it?"
“Even if I compromise, the textile factory won’t agree. They need educated and capable people, not good-for-nothings who just coast along. Just by looking at you, I can tell you didn’t succeed in the transfer. Now that Grandpa and the others aren’t providing subsidies, we’re barely making ends meet this month with just the Pei family’s salary. We were hoping to buy Pei Antong a job, but it’s too late!”
"They even threatened me with my great-grandfather's whereabouts. I wonder how Grandpa Pei will stand up for me?"
Pei Guangzong said confidently, "So what if I threaten you? This is what happens when you disobey!"
Zhao Baiping didn't see anything wrong with it. She thought it was just that the annoying Fu Wanning should be sent to the countryside. "What's wrong with sending you to the countryside? You can take care of yourself. An Tong and Guang Zong are spoiled and pampered. Wouldn't they be asking for trouble if they went there?"
Pei Antong smiled triumphantly. "What's so late? Fu Wanning, you think you've won just because you didn't change jobs? No, we've already successfully enrolled you in the rural program. You have no choice but to go this time. The educated youth office will send you the notice in a few days. No matter how stubborn you are, you'll still be my defeated opponent. Only those who aren't loved are easily abandoned. You're just a pitiful little thing that no one in the Pei family wants. You only deserve to go to the Northwest to fend for yourself."
