In his opinion, Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen had shown mercy. If they had really taken action, the Cui family would have faced far more than just ruin; the whole family would probably have been sent to labor camps.
In recent years, my grandparents have gotten used to a good life and thought that by climbing up to the Pei family, they would become powerful and influential people in the capital. They inevitably look down on others. They, the aunt and nephew, and even the Pei and Du families, looked down on Fu Jingchen's status as a lowly soldier and Gu Wanwan's status as an educated youth.
In the end, one was a renowned military commander, and the other was the granddaughter of a top-tier family veteran.
This experience taught him a profound lesson: never underestimate someone. Sometimes, those who seem poor and down on their luck are actually incredibly powerful and are not joking around.
Just as poor people like to pretend to be rich, rich people are stingy and calculating.
As for the Cui family's plight in Xiangyang Village, he didn't care much. After all, he hadn't been in contact with them for twenty years. He only knew that they had biological parents, but he had never spent time with them. To him, his biological parents were like strangers.
He inherited the selfishness of the Cui family. He had already planned it all out. When he went to Xiangyang Village in the future, he would definitely not squeeze into the cowshed with the Cui family. He had money and Du Lixue's dowry, so he could live a very carefree life.
Then the couple will rent a new house and have their biological parents' family help them work in the fields, while the couple can just lie around comfortably and collect their work points.
This is the value of the Cui family in his mind. He acknowledges his parents not because he misses them, but simply because he wants their service and labor.
If the Cui family tries to hold him back, take advantage of him, or ask him to subsidize the Cui family like his aunt did, he will immediately turn his back on them and refuse to acknowledge them as relatives. Pei Guangzong refuses to be poor relatives.
The Cui couple had no choice but to temporarily set aside Fu Jingchen and Gu Wanwan and directly attack Old Madam Fu. Old Madam Cui roared, "Cui Cuiyu, are you crazy? What has the Cui family done to wrong you? Why don't you stay in the countryside and come to the capital to expose Hailu and Guangzong? Are you and your son jealous of the Cui family and want to ruin our wealth and glory? If it weren't for Guangzong's own hard work in marrying the battalion commander's daughter, our Cui family would have been ruined by you."
“Fu Yuzhong, do you even consider me your uncle? My Cui family has always thought we’ve treated your Fu family well. If the Cui family prospers, your Fu family will benefit too, right? Why can’t you stop your own mother from going to the capital with her to cause trouble? This is a big city, not the countryside. You two pack your bags and get out of the capital. You, Cui Cuiyu, set fire to the Cui family’s house, and you must compensate the Cui family. Otherwise, I will disown you as my own sister and leave you a homeless ghost without any family to support you!”
"And that Shen Chunman, she's really useless. She can't even control her own mother-in-law and husband. Fu Jingchen, are you going to take care of her or not? If not, the Cui family will help you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Chunman's contempt and anger were palpable. "You old hag and old man, who gave you the right to reprimand me? I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you've already delivered yourselves to me. You've repeatedly switched my son and tormented my youngest son, causing us to be separated for twenty years, turning my youngest son into an idiot, and still not forgetting to exploit him. Your Cui family is inhuman. This hatred is irreconcilable."
"Don't mention Old Madam Fu and Fu Yuzhong to me. I'm divorced and no longer a daughter-in-law of the Fu family. I wish they were dead. Anyone who has hurt my son is my enemy!"
Normally, Old Madam Fu would have been terrified and would have knelt down and begged Ah Wei for forgiveness, saying, "Chunman, you are right to hate the Cui family. The Cui family is the real culprit."
