In the 1970s, the whole country was short of material things, and people were living in poverty. They were very frugal. Some wore new clothes, while others wore clothes with many patches. If it were not for the housing allocated to employees, most people's houses were relatively small and shabby.
Baicheng County is not a new county, it is an ancient county town.
There are some old buildings and some new buildings in the city. The old buildings are relatively old, while the new buildings were built after the founding of the People's Republic of China. They not only look new, but also have fashionable floors. Zhao Tiancheng's grandmother lives in a building.
The buildings of this era are definitely not as convenient as those in later generations.
There are no elevators, so you have to climb the stairs to go up and down. However, countless people envy those who can live in such buildings, because those who can live in buildings must be employees who eat state-funded food, and being able to eat state-funded food means that you can basically have enough food to eat.
Zhao Tiancheng's grandmother Zhao Cai was no simple person. Before liberation, she was a farmhand in a landlord's family. After liberation, she immediately became a proletarian worker in charge of the family. With a good family background and good eloquence, her life became better and better.
If things had continued like this, I could have become a worker or something.
But sometimes we are afraid of becoming rich suddenly.
Zhao Cai's horizons broadened as he lived a good life. He felt envious and unbalanced when he saw others with money and power. He also fantasized that he would be able to live such a good life one day.
As the saying goes, when you are poor, you will think of change.
Zhao Cai was greedy for power, so he lurked everywhere. He actually hit the mark. He saved a man just after liberation. Within ten years, this man became a member of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee. As a result, Zhao Cai was reused.
Thanks to Zhao Cai's years of hard work, he finally secured a leading position in the Baicheng County Revolutionary Committee.
But having reached this position, he could not go any further.
After all, the person he saved was just an ordinary staff member of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee, and the other party could only help him so much. If Zhao Cai still wanted to achieve something, he could only rely on himself. This is also the reason why Zhao Cai wanted to find a wife for Zhao Tiancheng.
Jiang Bailian is not important. What is important is that Jiang Bailian's father is a person close to the municipal party committee secretary. Although this kind of person does not have a high status, he can have a say with the leader and is the most suitable person for him to interact with.
Just then, Zhao found out that Jiang Bailian's father Jiang Yuanshan had connections with the city leaders, so he immediately took the initiative to get Zhao Tiancheng and Jiang Bailian engaged.
Zhao Cai thought of the matter very well and arranged it very well.
As a result, Zhao Tiancheng happened to disobey orders.
Not only did Zhao Tiancheng refuse to marry Jiang Bailian, he even had an affair with another woman at Hongqi Farm. Zhao Cai was very angry, but he also knew that things had come to this point, so he could only pay compensation and apologize as much as possible.
He had finally managed to reconcile with the Jiang family these past few days, and before he could even breathe a sigh of relief when he heard new news from the farm.
Zhao Tiancheng declared in public that he would only marry the woman named Gao Yefang.
Zhao Cai's enthusiasm was wasted and he was so angry that he smashed several cups in the house. The whole family was trembling with fear when facing Zhao Cai.
Although Zhao Cai usually looks smiling and has no airs of a leader, as a relative, only he knows Zhao Cai's true temper. How can a person who can hold power in this era not have some means?
Zhou Jingguo was the first to get the news from the farm. He first sent people to look for Zhao Tiancheng and Gao Yefang, but couldn't find them. Worried that his son had ruined his father-in-law, he had no choice but to rush to the Zhao family in the county town early in the morning.
Zhao Cai was about to retire, and usually he was a little less concerned about the work at the unit, so he didn't go to the unit that early, and then he waited for Zhou Jingguo to come.
After listening to the latest news brought by Zhou Jingguo, Zhao Cai, who had been keeping calm for many years, finally smashed a few cups.
He was trying his best to pave the way for this family, but that brat Zhao Tiancheng actually dared to hold him back. At this moment, Zhao Tiancheng was no longer a good grandson in Zhao Cai's mind, but a chess piece that could be discarded at will.
"Since Tiancheng doesn't want to marry me, then forget it." Zhao Cai sat on the sofa and wiped his hands with a towel.
He was so angry when he smashed the cup just now that a lot of water splashed on his hands.
"Dad, we have already negotiated with the Jiang family again. If we don't want to marry, then we won't. Wouldn't this make the Jiang family hate us?" Zhao Cai's eldest son, Zhao Yongjun, had a worried look on his face and looked at Zhou Jingguo with unfriendly eyes.
It's all because of the Zhou family's bad offspring that they produced such a disobedient child.
"Dad, my eldest brother is right. We have finally reached an agreement with the Jiang family. They have repeatedly guaranteed that there will be no problems with Tiancheng. You see, this matter..." The second son, Zhao Pingjun, was also worried.
Zhao Cai looked at his two sons without saying anything. After a while, his gaze turned to Zhou Jingguo's face.
His two sons were not very smart and could not inherit his legacy. Originally, he led his two sons to work in the Revolutionary Committee, but they either almost killed people or failed to grasp the key points.
Zhao Cai realized that his two sons were not suitable for the Revolutionary Committee and had to turn to training his son-in-law.
I didn't expect that my son-in-law is such a talented person. With some advice from me, he can securely sit on the position of director of the commune revolutionary committee. In this position, as long as he doesn't get into trouble, it won't take long for him to enter the county revolutionary committee and occupy an important position, and he will be my right-hand man.
It was because Zhao Cai was optimistic about Zhou Jingguo's genes that he adopted Zhao Tiancheng as his grandson.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Tiancheng was not raised as well in their family as in the Zhou family.
At this moment, Zhao Cai looked at Zhou Jingguo and began to wonder if his family's ancestral tomb was not buried properly. How come the seeds grew crooked when they came to their home? Otherwise, he really couldn't explain the reason.
Zhou Jingguo knew how to handle things and how to read people's cues, otherwise he would not have become the director of the commune's revolutionary committee. As soon as he saw Zhao Cai's eyes, he knew that Zhao Cai was not only going to give up Zhao Tiancheng, but might even be angry with him. He felt choked in his heart.
"Dad, how about letting Jianshu from my eldest brother's family marry the girl from the Jiang family? Jianshu is not married yet, so it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to marry her." This was the only solution Zhou Jingguo could think of, and he believed that his eldest brother-in-law would definitely agree.
He, a son-in-law from another family, ate meat while the descendants of the Zhao family drank soup. Although his two brothers-in-law did not say anything to his face, they still had a very big prejudice against him.
Zhao Yongjun had long hoped that one day he could take over his grandfather's business. When he heard Zhou Jingguo's suggestion, he was immediately excited and said, "Dad."
Zhao Pingjun was also tempted, because he was thinking of his own son.
Zhao Cai glanced at Zhao Yongjun. He didn't know if there was really a problem with his family's ancestral tomb. There was a son-in-law in the family who was somewhat capable, but both his son and grandson were useless. Otherwise, how could he have raised his grandson.
As a result, this grandson is still disobedient.
"Dad, I think Jianshu is feasible. After all, it's just an alliance with the Jiang family. It only needs to be someone with the surname Zhao." Zhao Pingjun considered for a long time before deciding to support his eldest brother. As long as his eldest brother gets the benefits first, it will be his turn later.
"It's not possible to build a tree." Zhao Cai shook his head in denial.
"Dad, why can't Jianshu do it? Jianshu is also your grandson. Why do you always think about your grandson when you have any benefits? You should also consider your own grandson." Zhao Yongjun was anxious and spoke bluntly.
Zhao Cai wanted to kick his eldest son.
Isn't this just offending Zhou Jingguo, the son-in-law? It's so damn stupid.
At this moment, a figure flashed through Zhao Cai's mind. It was the landlord who took him in. In fact, the landlord was not a bad person and was very kind to them, the farmhands and servants. But for his own sake, under that special situation, he chose to take the initiative to frame the landlord, thus gaining the initial rights.
Zhao Cai remembered that the man stared at him with a pair of red and swollen eyes before his death, telling him that their Zhao family would suffer retribution, and would definitely suffer retribution.
He didn't believe it, but today, he felt that his family seemed to have suffered retribution.
None of the Zhao family's descendants are good enough.
"Dad, just give Jianshu a chance. I can guarantee that Jianshu will not go against your wishes. He will definitely marry the daughter of the Jiang family and treat her well." Zhao Yongjun was still trying his best to lobby Zhao Cai.
But he didn't know that when he said this, Zhou Jingguo made another note in the little notebook.
The elder brother-in-law is stepping on Zhao Tiancheng to make Zhao Jianshu successful. As Zhao Tiancheng's biological father, there is no way Zhou Jingguo can be happy.
Although he was unhappy, he did not show it on his face. Zhou Jingguo still faced Zhao Cai with his head down, with an open mind and an attitude of listening. This was his way of being a person. He respected everyone he could respect and did not appear to offend anyone easily.
Zhao Cai looked at the scene in front of him with his old eyes and felt even more unhappy.
But he also knew that he had to explain it clearly to his two sons. If he didn't, it would easily cause discord in the family. He could only patiently explain, "Yongjun, it's not that I don't agree with Jianshu marrying the girl from the Jiang family. You just don't look at what Jianshu looks like."
Zhao Yongjun was stunned for a moment and his face suddenly turned red. Zhao Pingjun's expression also looked a little unnatural.
Their family is very strange.
Zhao Cai was not good-looking. Except for his daughter Zhao Chunjing who looked like her mother, the rest of his children followed his bloodline, no matter they were sons, grandsons or granddaughters, they all looked ugly.
This is also the reason why Zhao Cai changed Zhao Tiancheng's surname to Zhao and adopted him in the Zhao family.
It was obvious from the moment Zhao Tiancheng was born that he was good-looking. A child with such a good foundation would definitely not go wrong when he grew up, so Zhao Cai prepared for the future and even appeared kind to others.
If Zhao Tiancheng also looked ugly, Zhao Cai would not even bother to take a look at him.
Zhao Cai's words calmed the entire Zhao family down.
After a while, Zhou Jingguo whispered, "Dad, how about I send someone to bring Tiancheng back? Don't worry, that girl is easy to deal with. I can just find a reason to move her to another place in the countryside."
Zhou Jingguo was also very angry that Gao Yefang did not heed his warnings.
What made him even more dissatisfied was that Gao Yefang must have seduced Tiancheng, otherwise his Tiancheng would not have said in public that he wanted to marry that girl.
"Jingguo, you should have done this a long time ago, otherwise Tiancheng wouldn't have gotten into such a big disaster. I don't know how to explain this to the Jiang family." Zhao Cai looked at Zhou Jingguo with a hint of complaint.
How could a family like them be controlled by an educated youth who came from the countryside?
You have to know that they have always been the ones who control others.
"Dad, this girl seems to have some background. I'm not sure yet. I'm really investigating, otherwise I would have dealt with her long ago." Seeing that Zhao Cai blamed him, Zhou Jingguo did not dare to complain and quickly told him everything.
"Oh, there is a background. What background?"
Zhao Cai became interested as soon as he heard this. What he needed most urgently at this moment was a background. Otherwise, he would have to retire in two years. How could retirement be so glorious? People who had flattered his family before might change their allegiance. Even worse, he might be stepped on by others.
"Dad, this girl is an educated youth from Beijing. It is said that her parents have some status in Beijing, and even real power." Zhou Jingguo said it uncertainly because he had not verified it yet.
Zhao Cai was shocked. His heart, which had been beating slowly, suddenly started pounding. His tone became anxious, "Jingguo, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" If he could get connections in the capital, why would he have to shamelessly follow the Jiang family's lead?
"Dad, the news is still uncertain. I wanted to tell you after I verified it, but I didn't expect Tiancheng to... "
Zhou Jingguo was extremely busy during this period and had not bothered to check Gao Yefang's background. He just said this to deal with Zhao Caicai.
"It must be verified as soon as possible. If you don't have time to check, I will ask someone to check it."
Zhao Cai's mind began to waver.
"Yes, Dad, I understand." Zhou Jingguo agreed readily, which also helped Zhao Tiancheng.
At least Zhao Tiancheng won't be beaten when he shows up again.
In the living room, the atmosphere calmed down because of Zhou Jingguo's words. Zhao Chunjing, who had been eavesdropping in the bedroom with her mother, hurried out, went to the kitchen, got a broom and cleaned up the broken glass on the floor.
Her father smashed several cups, and there was a lot of glass fragments on the ground besides water.
If it is not cleaned properly, someone may get hurt if they step on it carelessly.
Zhao Cai didn't say anything when he saw the lady sweeping the floor. He just straightened his clothes. He was going to go out to work. He hasn't retired yet, so he still needs to patrol the office every day and supervise his subordinates to do their work carefully.
"Dad, why don't you take a rest? I'll cook some dishes for you and Jingguo to have a drink, and then you can go to work in the afternoon."
Zhao Chunjing saw that the old man's face had returned to normal and quickly flattered him.
It was also paving the way for Zhao Tiancheng. She actually hoped that Zhao Tiancheng would marry a girl from the Jiang family. If he couldn't marry an educated youth named Huang, marrying a girl from the Jiang family would also be good. The person she was least optimistic about was Gao Yefang.
Gao Yefang is too smart and knows how to control men. She is really worried that her son will no longer care about her in the future.
Zhao Cai looked at Zhao Chunjing, a little hesitant.
His daughter-in-law is a good cook. He likes the peanuts she fries, which are perfect with wine, but he also wants to go to the workplace to take a look.
"Dad, it's rare for us to get together, I'll have a drink with you." Zhou Jingguo also encouraged.
Zhao Yongjun and Zhao Pingjun did not speak. Anyway, when Zhou Jingguo and his wife were around, these two sons were useless and not taken seriously.
“Dudududu——”
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door and everyone's eyes turned over.
Zhou Jingguo was standing closest to the door. When he heard the knock on the door, he felt a little scared and had a bad feeling. He opened the door almost subconsciously, and then saw Zhao Tiancheng and Gao Yefang standing outside.
Zhao Tiancheng and Gao Yefang had just arrived, and they knocked on the door when there was no sound in the house, so they didn't expect to see so many people when they opened the door.
“Pah.”
Along with the loud slapping sound, Zhou Jingguo's angry voice rang out, "You bastard, you still know how to come back. I'm so sorry for you. Why don't you hurry up and get out? Who do you want to make fun of?"
Zhao Tiancheng was stunned by Zhou Jingguo's slap.
But her body obediently followed Zhou Jingguo's scolding and walked into Zhao Cai's house. He held Gao Yefang's hand and instantly carried three children (with one in her belly) into the house.
"Grandma."
When Zhao Tiancheng came to his senses, he saw his grandmother's ugly face and immediately greeted her nervously and guiltily.
Zhao Cai, who was sitting on the sofa, did not respond to Zhao Tiancheng, and his eyes fell on Gao Yefang.
After years of studying and immersing himself in the power arena, Zhao Cai saw through Gao Yefang's true nature at a glance.
I also understand why Gao Yefang approached Zhao Tiancheng.
"Grandma... Grandma, this is Comrade Gao Yefang. She is pregnant with my child." Zhao Tiancheng saw that everyone's eyes were focused on Gao Yefang, and they were all unfriendly eyes, so he quickly explained.
Although he was not sure whether the child was his, he had to protect Gao Yefang in front of his family.
To protect Gao Yefang at this time is to protect himself.
Otherwise, would I let everyone know that I have a green spot on my head?
The first person to react was Zhao Chunjing. She collapsed with her hands on her chest. She knew that her nightmare had come true.
"Chun Jing... Chun Jing, don't get excited, don't get excited." Zhou Jingguo immediately supported his wife whose legs were weak. At the same time, he felt a little disappointed with Zhao Tiancheng. There were so many women in the world, why did he choose a woman with a stain?
If you really marry a woman like this, you will never be able to get rid of the gossip behind your back for the rest of your life.
"Mom, don't be angry. I don't mean to make you angry. I am Gao Yefang's first man. She is pregnant, and there is no way I won't marry her. After all, the child is innocent. Mom, can you just accept Yefang and the child?" Zhao Tiancheng had discussed with Gao Yefang before she came today, and knew how to say things in a way that would be most acceptable to her family.
"You..."
Zhao Chunjing pointed at Gao Yefang and was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
The more Zhao Tiancheng protected Gao Yefang, the more she felt like she was about to lose her son.
"Mom, Ye Fang is pregnant with my child, and you have a grandson now. For the sake of my grandson, can you forgive Ye Fang and me? Can I let Ye Fang kneel down in front of you?" Zhao Tiancheng saw that his mother was really sad, so he quickly pulled Gao Yefang over and knelt in front of Zhao Chunjing.
He knew that his mother had always looked down on Gao Yefang. If he were to ask who in the family was the most determined person against him and Gao Yefang being together, it would definitely be his mother.
Zhao Chunjing was opposed emotionally, but his grandmother and others were definitely opposed based on their interests.
Gao Yefang was dragged by Zhao Tiancheng to kneel in front of Zhao Chunjing without making any trouble. She knew that if she wanted to enter the Zhou family, she must get the consent of Zhou Jingguo and his wife.
In order to get in, she was willing to humble herself today.
“Pah—”
Zhao Chunjing slapped Gao Yefang hard, and this slap represented all her anger and unwillingness.
"Mom." Zhao Tiancheng did not stop Zhao Chunjing from slapping Gao Yefang, but looked at Zhao Chunjing with pleading eyes.
This was the second time Gao Yefang had been slapped in the face in her life, except for the yellow-faced woman in the man's family in Beijing. She was a little dazed for a moment, and stood there in a daze, covering her rapidly swollen face.
"Tiancheng, don't you like that girl Huang Wanqing? Mom will go to their family and ask them to agree to let Huang Wanqing marry you." Zhao Chunjing was really anxious and couldn't help but grab Zhao Tiancheng's collar and yelled at him.
Zhao Tiancheng smiled bitterly. He still could not forget how his family left in disgrace in front of Qin Qingman.
At the same time, he also knew that Huang Wanqing would never be willing to marry him in this life, otherwise how could he be controlled by Gao Yefang using Huang Wanqing, and how could he take another path.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tiancheng whispered to his mother: "Mom, you know it's impossible."
"It's impossible. You don't have to marry this woman. She is so shameless as to sneak into your bed. She is not a chaste wife. Aren't you afraid that she will cheat on you in the future?" Zhao Chunjing's words were so harsh that the entire Zhao family suddenly fell silent.
Although Gao Yefang was not a chaste woman, she did not want to be slapped in the face so blatantly. She had originally wanted to pretend in front of Zhao Tiancheng, but now she could not do it anymore.
"Aunt, I respect you as Tiancheng's mother, but that doesn't mean I am willing to be insulted by you. It was your Zhao Tiancheng who forced me at the beginning. How come it became me who seduced him? If my family wasn't here, do you believe that Zhao Tiancheng would have been shot?"
Gao Yefang stood up and thought her words were not strong enough, so she added, "To force a woman against her will is a serious crime, and the punishment is to be shot."
"Don't talk nonsense to me, and don't threaten me. Don't think I don't know what you are up to. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. If you didn't mean it, if you didn't take the initiative to get into my son's bed, how could my Tiancheng sleep with you? You are just shameless and take the initiative to seduce others with your body. Don't think I can't see that your body has been through many men."
Because her son was not afraid of Gao Yefang at all, Zhao Chunjing directly tore her face off.
"You..." Gao Yefang was angry. She never thought that Zhao Chunjing could be so inconsiderate.
This really means he's going to break up with her.
"Don't say you and me. I'm still saying what I said before. It was you who took the initiative to seduce my Tiancheng. Anyone with a little bit of insight can see your tricks. Only my Tiancheng was bewitched and protected you. In the final analysis, you just used your body to exchange for benefits. Don't pretend to be so pure. It's a bit despicable."
Zhao Chunjing didn't like Gao Yefang, so she didn't give Gao Yefang any face at all.
Not to mention that Gao Yefang is pregnant, she won't recognize her grandson even if he is born in front of her. For a woman like this with a fickle mind, no one knows whose child the child is. Only her Tiancheng can't see through it.
"Jingguo, I don't agree with this woman entering our Zhou family."
Zhao Chunjing directly asked her husband to be her ally, and at the same time she decided in her heart to immediately use her connections to get Gao Yefang out of the Red Flag Farm and transfer her to a faraway place, preferably one with inconvenient transportation.
To prevent this vixen from seducing her Tiancheng again.
"Wife." Zhou Jingguo was a little embarrassed. It was not that he did not want to help his wife, but mainly because he had noticed that his father-in-law was interested in Gao Yefang's background. Since this girl dared to go to her father-in-law's house with Tiancheng today, she must have something to rely on.
"Old Zhou!" Zhao Chunjing originally thought that Zhou Jingguo would stand on her side unconditionally, but not only did she not get a reply immediately, she also saw hesitation on Zhou Jingguo's face.
Hesitation represents uncertainty.
Gao Yefang was a smart person. She guessed the reason immediately and looked at Zhao Cai.
Gao Yefang looked at Zhao Cai, and everyone else looked over there as well, even Zhao Chunjing was no exception.
Zhao Chunjing saw Zhao Cai's gaze clearly and her heart trembled suddenly.
As a daughter of a noble family, she knew exactly what kind of man her father was, a man who would kneel and kowtow to others for power, and who would always consider interests when looking at issues, so she was destined to be disappointed.
"Grandpa."
Gao Yefang greeted Zhao Cai.
He greeted me in a very graceful manner, with inherent courtesy and pride.
"Come with me." Zhao Cai had been looking at Gao Yefang since she entered the room. He saw the fight between Gao Yefang and his daughter, and also saw Zhao Tiancheng protecting this woman. Seeing Gao Yefang's eyes on him, Zhao Cai stood up and walked towards the study.
Whether Gao Yefang can enter the Zhou family depends on what benefits she can use to impress Zhao Cai.
As long as Zhao Cai agrees to let Zhao Tiancheng marry Gao Yefang, it will be useless even if Zhao Chunjing makes a fuss or his biological father Zhou Jingguo objects.
"Ye Fang." Zhao Tiancheng looked at Gao Yefang.
He didn't want to marry Gao Yefang before, but now he really wants to marry her, because power makes him feel that who he marries is more important.
Gao Yefang understood what was in Zhao Tiancheng's eyes. She raised her lips slightly and looked at the angry Zhao Chunjing, then followed Zhao Cai into the Zhao family's study.
The study door was closed in front of everyone.
Zhao Yongjun and Zhao Pingjun just felt that their brains were not enough. Didn't his father always oppose Zhao Tiancheng and this woman named Gao? Why was he so polite now? Too polite.
The two Zhao brothers did not understand the key point, but Zhou Jingguo and Zhao Chunjing both understood it.
"Daughter-in-law, forget it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings." Zhou Jingguo could only persuade Zhao Chunjing in this way. At the same time, he was also thinking about how to let Zhao Tiancheng move out of the house and live alone after marriage. It was obvious that his daughter-in-law and Gao Yefang, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, did not get along. It would be better for them to live separately in the future.
"Old Zhou."
Zhao Chunjing just felt as bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.
But her father wouldn't listen to her, and her husband probably wouldn't dare to disobey his orders.
If anyone wants to blame someone, she can only blame her for giving birth to a useless child who was seduced away by a woman.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chunjing kicked Zhao Tiancheng hard.
As long as the daughter-in-law doesn't want her mother's stuff, whoever wants it can have it in the future. She doesn't want it anymore. Anyway, there are two little ones in the family. At worst, she will only recognize the two little ones in the future.
Zhao Tiancheng didn't expect his mother to kick him so mercilessly. He knelt on the ground and was kicked to the side by his mother. His head hit the corner of the table and a big bump appeared on his head instantly.
"Mom." Zhao Tiancheng looked at Zhao Chunjing in amazement.
"Get lost. From now on, you can just hug that bitch and call mom." Zhao Chunjing felt that she couldn't stay in the Zhao family any longer, so she just waved her hand, opened the door and left.
"Dad, my mom..." This was the first time that Zhao Tiancheng saw his mother lose her temper with him like this. He was a little at a loss, a little nervous, and more importantly, he didn't know what to do.
He couldn't bear to give up power.
Zhou Jingguo did not go with Zhao Chunjing, but looked at Zhao Tiancheng seriously.
Zhao Tiancheng is his child. Although the child is raised in the Zhao family, he has a good relationship with the child. The father and son can talk and communicate with each other. His eyesight is sharper than Zhao Chunjing's and he can see that Zhao Tiancheng has no feelings for Gao Yefang.
Getting married without any love must be a matter of interest.
Zhou Jingguo glanced at the two brothers-in-law standing beside him. He didn't ask Zhao Tiancheng anything. He just stood up and patted Zhao Tiancheng on the shoulder.
Zhao Tiancheng felt relieved when his father patted his shoulder.
He understood what his father meant, and he also knew that his father could understand why he wanted to protect Gao Yefang and marry Gao Yefang.
At this moment, Zhao Tiancheng felt that the slap from his father on the face did not hurt at all. He could feel that this slap was his father's love and protection for him. He also knew that Zhou Jingguo gave this slap to his grandmother to see.
Zhao Cai and Gao Yefang talked in the study for quite some time.
It took almost an hour to come out.
When they came out, both of them had excited flushes on their faces. Then Zhao Cai announced something in public, that is, he would officially break off the engagement with the Jiang family, and Zhao Tiancheng would marry Gao Yefang when the weather got warmer in the spring.
Although everyone had already guessed this, when they finally heard Zhao Cai's announcement, they still felt mixed emotions.
Zhao Yongjun thought about it and took the initiative to say to Zhao Cai: "Dad, why don't you tell the Jiang family to change the person to marry, whether it's Jianshu from my family or Jianan from my second brother's family. Their ages are just right for the daughter of the Jiang family."
"Forget it, the Jiang family won't agree."
Zhao Cai knew what the Jiang family's bottom line was when he negotiated with them. The Jiang family would not agree to marry into their family just because they wanted a direct descendant of the Zhao family.
From the moment Zhao Tiancheng publicly announced his intention to marry Gao Yefang, there was no longer any possibility of marriage between the two families.
Forget it, the Gao family is not bad either, and is more suitable for Tiancheng than the Jiang family.
No one in the Zhao family objected to Zhao Cai's decision. Everyone looked at Gao Yefang standing next to Zhao Cai and knew that the power structure in the family would change in the future, as there would be one or two more people who could have a say.
"Jingguo, you should worry more about Zhao Tiancheng's marriage." Zhao Cai reminded Zhou Jingguo.
"Dad, don't worry, I will let Chunjing organize a grand wedding for Tiancheng." Zhou Jingguo himself had to rely on his father-in-law for food, so of course he would not refute Zhao Cai's reminder.
"Starting today, Tiancheng will stay in the county to work. It just so happens that the county revolutionary committee is short of people."
Zhao Cai's eyes swept towards Zhao Tiancheng.
"Grandma, I understand." Zhao Tiancheng knew that he had brought trouble to his family, so he didn't dare to talk back and agreed immediately. At the same time, he also knew that it was his grandmother who was supporting him, and he was about to embark on the road to power.
Zhao Cai was satisfied when he saw that Zhao Tiancheng had regained his obedience.
Then everyone's attention was focused on Gao Yefang.
If the Zhou family agreed to let Zhao Tiancheng marry Gao Yefang, then Gao Yefang would become one of their own, and of course one must protect one's own people.
"Grandma, Ye Fang is pregnant and can't do heavy work. What do you think about transferring Ye Fang to the county town to work?" At this time, Zhao Tiancheng was really reluctant to part with Gao Yefang.
His body had gotten used to Gao Yefang.
Zhao Cai could see through Zhao Tiancheng's thoughts at a glance. While he was dissatisfied with his grandson's love for women, he also rejected Zhao Tiancheng. "We just got Tiancheng to work in the county. If we transfer Ye Fang, people will gossip. So, after you two get married, you can transfer Ye Fang to the county town on the grounds that it is not easy for a couple to live apart."
He was also warning Gao Yefang by saying this.
No matter how ridiculous Gao Yefang's words were to him before, he had to see the real benefits before he would treat Gao Yefang as his own.
At this time, Gao Yefang was still in the probation period.
Gao Yefang herself knew the situation, and immediately obediently agreed to Zhao Cai's arrangement.
In the end, Zhao Tiancheng stayed in the county town, and Gao Yefang was taken back to the farm by Zhou Jingguo. Not only Zhou Jingguo but also Zhao Chunjing was in the car.
Things have come to this point, Zhao Chunjing has to accept it even if she doesn't want to.
Helplessly, Zhao Chunjing could only sit in the car with a sullen face and stay eight feet away from Gao Yefang, which showed that she disdained Gao Yefang.
Gao Yefang knew that Zhao Chunjing did it on purpose, but she didn't get angry. She planned to deal with Zhao Chunjing after her position in the Zhou family became more stable.
As long as she had a man in her hands, she felt it would be easy to deal with a mother-in-law like Zhao Chunjing.
Zhou Jingguo sent Gao Yefang to the farm. Considering that Gao Yefang was pregnant and the old man in the family agreed to Gao Yefang and Zhao Tiancheng's marriage, he simply found Liu Hechang and asked Liu Hechang to arrange a light job for Gao Yefang on the farm.

Qin Qingman told her not to get involved and just stay among the crowd.
Huang Wanqing was obedient and tried her best to avoid Gao Yefang on the farm. At the same time, she was careful not to be alone and become a dangerous person every day.
Time passed day by day, and one day, Kaoshantun suddenly became lively.
It turned out that Auntie Ayun's family was going to marry off their daughter.
