"Fu Jingchen has already recognized Pei Shengtao, the adopted son and his wife of the Pei family, and called them his grandparents. I thought it was outrageous at the time. How could he be so blind? He's completely disrespecting the Pei family." Old Mrs. Fu said, feigning indignation, as if accusing Fu Jingchen of recognizing a thief as a relative. "I know that the adopted son of the Pei family and you two don't get along. When they were sent down to the countryside, I took care of them a lot. I did all the hard labor and criticism for them, and I took care of all the dirty and tiring work for them."
“They were already half-dead, but then Gu Wanwan’s grandparents were sent to the countryside. The four of them became like family in the cowshed and united against outsiders. Of course, I can’t let you down. Since they’re biased towards the Pei family’s adopted son and his wife, I’ll trick them into taking care of them too. If Gu Wanwan hadn’t gone to the countryside, Pei Shengtao and his wife wouldn’t have lived much longer.”
"That Gu Wanwan is incredibly cunning. She's crazy and will fight anyone who disagrees with her. She doesn't listen to reason at all. I've suffered a lot at her hands. Later, she hooked up with Fu Jingchen and started bullying everyone in the village. She went up against the village secretary, attacked the Qingshan brigade, and even ignored the commune leaders. Can you tell how arrogant they are?"
"The most outrageous thing is that Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen actually made the four old men from the cowshed teach in the village and prevented them from doing heavy work. Anyone who dared to criticize the old men from the cowshed was considered to be going against them."
"Ya Rou and the other educated youths tried to persuade Gu Wanwan when they went to the countryside, but Gu Wanwan scolded them instead. Xu Luoxue and He Shuyan were very unhappy with Gu Wanwan. Fu Jingchen and Gu Wanwan are in cahoots. He abandoned the Fu family that raised him for many years. He is disloyal, unfilial and does not support his parents. He is also very rude. When he goes crazy, he dares to hit women. He really slapped Xu Luoxue in the face. Alas, I wonder how the Xu family will deal with Fu Jingchen."
“Actually, Fu Jingchen used to be quite filial, handing over his salary and everything. But ever since Gu Wanwan went to the countryside, he's been led astray. It was also Gu Wanwan who facilitated his reunion with the Pei family’s adopted son. I guarantee that even if you go to her, Gu Wanwan will not give you any face.”
"Because I vaguely heard Pei Shengtao and Gu Wanwan say that he wanted to give Gu Wanwan an exorbitant dowry. Isn't that foolish? What right does the Pei family's adopted son have to seize the Pei family's property? Who does Gu Wanwan think she is? Why should she accept it with a clear conscience? That dowry is for the future daughter-in-law of the Pei family. As long as the Pei family doesn't agree, Gu Wanwan won't be able to enter the family."
"Gu Wanwan is very greedy and loves money. She openly speculates and makes money, and has been reported several times, but she has always managed to get away with it. Maybe Gu Wanwan only let Fu Jingchen acknowledge Pei Shengtao because of the money. If Fu Jingchen does acknowledge him one day, you girls have to teach him a lesson. You can't have a woman of questionable character, especially a descendant of bad elements. Marrying her will bring disaster to the Pei family!"
The more she spoke, the more genuine her emotions became, as if Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen were heinous villains in her words. She couldn't believe that the Pei family could still accept Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen after such a distortion of their true nature. She guessed that Fu Wanning's impression of her brother and sister-in-law, whom she had never met, had been greatly diminished.
That's exactly the effect she wanted. She wanted to make Fu Jingchen's path to recognizing his family fraught with difficulties and obstacles, and to break up the "unlucky couple" of the crazy couple.
Cui Hailu finally understood. It was true that her aunt wanted to take revenge on the Cui family and on her, and also on Fu Jingchen for causing her to be separated from her husband and children. She was truly a heartless and vengeful old woman. She felt happy and relieved when everyone was unhappy.
Fu Yuzhong secretly tugged at his mother's sleeve, trying several times to stop her from fabricating stories and smearing Fu Jingchen and Gu Wanwan's innocence, and even from mentioning the true identities of the two elders of the Gu family. He was afraid that his mother would go too far, ruin the Pei family, and plunge himself into an abyss of no return.
Zhao Baiping slammed her hand on the table in dissatisfaction. "Outrageous! This Gu Wanwan is so arrogant. I will absolutely not agree to let a woman with such questionable background into the family. It's absurd, utterly absurd. Fu Jingchen is clearly trying to ruin the Pei family's reputation."
