So what if he's just a lowly soldier? Is he as powerful as his grandson, the battalion commander's son-in-law? With Battalion Commander Du's help, Guang Zong could easily surpass Fu Jingchen and become a company commander.
Throughout the entire process, the Pei family members wore expressions as if their parents had died. They could only hope that the Cui couple would step in and do their part. Over the years, the Cui couple had taken a lot of benefits from the Pei family, and they hoped that the Pei family would have some conscience and help them suppress Cui Hailu and her niece.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Pei family's hopes will ultimately be dashed. Like father, like son; the Cui family's roots have long since rotted away.
When there's something to gain, they become in-laws; when there's no value, they become strangers or enemies.
Du Lixue refused to return to the Fu family with Pei Guangzong, citing the excuse that she was going back to her parents' home to pack her luggage and dowry.
She didn't want to see those awful relatives from the Cui family, nor did she want to see the ugly faces of the Pei family, and she especially didn't want to see Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen showing off their affection and hurting her heart.
She feared she would lose control and go crazy, offending the Gu family again and bringing unprecedented disaster to the Du family.
Cui Hailu was a little dissatisfied. How could Guangzong be left alone in an empty room on the first day of their marriage? However, the Cui couple were too happy to wait. They glared at their daughter and warned her not to make Du Lixue angry. "Child, go back. Please give my regards to your parents. It's okay if you stay at your parents' house for a few more days. Say goodbye to your parents properly. But I believe you will be able to return to the city soon after you go to the countryside."
Pei Guangzong didn't care. He and Du Lixue were a proper couple. Du Lixue was, after all, the daughter of the Du family. She had a lot of luggage and dowry to pack. He was about to go to the countryside, and he really didn't have much time. "Lixue, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll come find you after I've finished here."
After saying that, he lowered his voice to remind Cui Hailu, "Mom, don't make things worse. She's the battalion commander's daughter. Don't act like a mother-in-law. We still need the Du family to make a fortune in the future. What's wrong with Lixue going back to prepare her dowry?"
Cui Hailu thought this made sense and quickly comforted Du Lixue, "Lixue, our Cui family doesn't have many rules, and the elders are very friendly. They won't interfere with you and Guangzong. As long as you two live a good life, you can stay at your parents' home until you go to the countryside."
Du Lixue nodded, already thinking about how to control the Cui family. As long as she was still the battalion commander's daughter, she could be the boss in the Cui family. "Mom, since you've all said so, it's not easy for me, as the daughter-in-law, to refuse."
After seeing Du Lixue off, Pei Guangzong quickly returned to the Fu family.
When Du Lixue was gone, Cui's parents immediately revealed their true, mean-spirited nature.
Suddenly, before Wan Jie even arrived, her voice rang out, "Oh, our house is so lively now. The marriages must be over, right? Isn't this Old Madam Fu's brother and sister-in-law?"
