Fu Wanning leisurely glanced at the Pei family members who looked utterly devastated. "Oh, isn't this a case of returning to one's roots? It suits you, Pei Guangzong, quite well. Perhaps I should call you Cui Guangzong."
Pei Guangzong felt a sudden rush of energy to his head, as if he'd been jolted awake. "I can't go to the countryside! I'm getting married! I'm the Du family's son-in-law! Lixue, please put in a good word for me! Get the Du family to pull some strings!"
"Comrade, isn't it enough for my daughter to go to the countryside? The Pei family has already sent one. Could you make an exception? Look around, are there any families with two members going to the countryside?" Cui Hailu tried to persuade the staff, saying that she had sacrificed her daughter's future to protect Pei Guangzong.
Fu Wanning watched as Pei Antong got her comeuppance and was happy to mock her, "Pei Antong, you always called me a money-loser, and now you're the money-loser abandoned by the Pei family. Your own mother chose Pei Guangzong without hesitation and abandoned you, her own daughter. Are you heartbroken? Are you angry? Are you resigned to it? You're just a useless abandoned daughter. Your mother has no money to support you, and even if she did, she would prioritize Pei Guangzong."
“You’re hopeless. If you go back to Xiangyang Village, you’ll still suffer at the hands of your uncle and aunt. Even your own mother wouldn’t say anything if she knew, just like Old Lady Fu did back then. Blame it on your birth. You’re not a man, so you’re not as favored as Pei Guangzong. Your fate is caused by Pei Guangzong.”
Pei Antong looked at her mother with a dazed expression, then at the culprit, Pei Guangzong. She had been somewhat dissatisfied with her mother for favoring Guangzong more than her. She had complained before, but she was her own daughter, a piece of her mother's flesh.
Her own mother told her that if she wanted to bring honor to her ancestors, she had to rely on her family's success; if she wanted to marry well and have her family's support, she had to rely even more on her family's success; only if her family's success was good could her future be good.
Under the brainwashing of her biological mother and maternal grandparents, she gradually developed the habit of supporting her brother excessively. However, the harsh reality woke her up, revealing that in her biological mother's eyes, her nephew was better than her own daughter.
The old lady and her son had an "I knew it" expression on their faces. Sure enough, it was the work of the crazy couple. Their revenge was swift, accurate, and ruthless, hitting the nail on the head.
“Cui Hailu is following in my footsteps. She supported her nephew until he was completely useless, and in the end, even her own daughter didn’t recognize her. Pei Antong, you don’t need to worry. What’s wrong with Xiangyang Village? You two should have lived in Xiangyang Village anyway. It’s better than going to the Northwest. You should be grateful. I heard that last time you registered Fu Wanning to go to the Northwest, the educated youth office probably found out about the problem and reported it to the special department. The special department used your going to the countryside as punishment, as a warning to others. This is the price for maliciously registering someone else.”
As expected of a gossipy old woman, she had already come up with all sorts of reasons. Fu Wanning seized the opportunity to continue, "Even Old Madam Fu is smarter than you. The special department is indeed the fairest and most just department!"
The staff member deliberately glanced at Du Lixue and asked, "Are you two getting married? Is that true?"
The Pei family and Cui Hailu and her son had placed all their bets on Du Lixue, and fortunately, Lixue never let them down.
Unexpectedly, Du Lixue, fearing she would be tainted by the Pei family's bad luck, immediately distanced herself from the matter, saying, "Comrade, there's absolutely no such thing. Pei Guangzong and I are just ordinary friends. He should go to the countryside when he needs to. Our Du family has always been law-abiding and will never interfere."
"Grandpa Pei, Grandma Pei, the notice from the educated youth office has already been issued, there's no use in you worrying about it anymore!"
She believed what Grandma Fu had just said. If it weren't for a special department, who would have the ability to send Pei Guangzong and Pei Antong to the countryside?
Pei Guangzong was deeply shocked. "Lixue, what do you mean?"
