“My name is Qin, and I am the father of your son-in-law, Qin Yanzheng.”
Qin Shuhan introduced himself with a big smile and extended his hand to Song Sanhe.
"Are they in-laws?"
Song Sanhe confirmed.
Qin Shuhan nodded with a smile.
Song Sanhe quickly shook hands with the other party and then invited him into his home.
"Did you hear that? That important person is Song Lan's father-in-law, and the accountant's in-law!"
"It seems the accountant's daughter married exceptionally well!"
"That's right, if her father-in-law can drive a car, her family must be quite well-off!"
"By the way, why hasn't the accountant's son-in-law come to our village?"
"Perhaps he's busy with work!"
"That's true. But considering how handsome Song Lan's father-in-law is, her husband must be exceptionally good-looking too!"
...
Upon hearing Qin Shuhan's self-introduction, the members were filled with envy and jealousy towards Song Sanhe and his wife. Some even wished they could replace them. The idea of "replacing" them meant that if their daughters had such a capable father-in-law, wouldn't they be in-laws? How glorious that would be!
The female educated youth gathered to the side were equally envious and jealous. Their object of envy and jealousy was undoubtedly Song Lan, who felt lucky to have been switched at birth and lived in a big city for more than ten years. In one night, she was brought back to her original state and became the daughter of a peasant family. Unexpectedly, her father-in-law, who suddenly appeared, turned out to be a capable man.
It's like living in a paradise!
Song Jiaojiao and Yuan Xiaoya stood together, their eyes both unfathomable.
"My second sister is so lucky. She's not only being thought of by Chen, the educated youth, but she's also married into a good family. I heard her husband is incredibly handsome and treats her exceptionally well."
Do you think Chen, the educated youth, would willingly lose my second sister like that? I don't think so. The fact that he still cares about my second sister is clear proof of that.
Without a doubt, Song Jiaojiao was trying to provoke Song Lan in front of Yuan Xiaoya, hoping to use Yuan Xiaoya to harm Song Lan.
Of course, she didn't give up on taking action herself, but planned to wait and see if Yuan Xiaoya could get rid of Song Lan as she wished.
If it succeeds, that would be best.
Otherwise, needless to say, Song Jiaojiao will have to take matters into her own hands!
In short, getting rid of Song Lan is something Song Jiaojiao is determined to do.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Yuan Xiaoya glared at Song Jiaojiao: "You weren't satisfied with using me last time, and now you want to use me again? Song Jiaojiao, are you the only smart one in the world?"
"Xiaoya, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
Song Jiaojiao pretended to be confused even though she knew the truth.
"I misunderstood you?"
Yuan Xiaoya sneered: "If you hadn't been constantly telling me what happened to Song Lan, would I have hired someone to do that kind of thing?"
"Xiaoya, I was just chatting with you casually. I didn't mean to bring up my second sister's matter. After all, I know the principle of not washing one's dirty linen in public."
Song Jiaojiao once again denied that she intentionally led Yuan Xiaoya to target Song Lan.
"You just wait!"
After saying that, Yuan Xiaoya turned around and walked alone towards the educated youth compound. She had been having a particularly hard time lately.
When something happened at home, it meant she lost her support. To avoid being noticed by the other educated youth, she had to pretend that nothing was wrong, but the pressure on her heart undoubtedly increased.
She wanted to speak and act flamboyantly as usual, and although she did show it, she felt awkward because she lacked confidence. What would the other educated youth think of her?
Yuan Xiaoya was concerned about her reputation and didn't want to be taken advantage of. So, she often secretly cried under the covers at night, thinking that marrying Chen Dongze was not only the most beneficial thing for her, but also her only way out of this predicament.
The Chen family was already better off than hers. Even if someone in the educated youth compound found out about her family's situation after she married Chen Dongze, they wouldn't dare to openly do anything to her.
To avoid offending Chen Dongze!
Life in the forest farm was undoubtedly tough, especially for people like him and his old friend who relied on their brains for a living. They simply couldn't keep up with the physical labor in the forest farm.
If you don't eat well, it's not surprising that you'll get sick.
Based on this, Qin Shuhan will never forget the eggs and vegetables that Song Lan brought him. Now that he has the opportunity to return to his original job, Qin Shuhan believes that the Qin family deserves much of the credit.
"We should go to the door and thank you properly!"
Feng Lin was a shrewd man. After listening to Qin Shuhan's words, he smiled and nodded. Then, he asked, "Does Engineer Qin need any money or coupons?" Before Qin Shuhan could react, Feng Lin took out several ten-yuan bills and coupons from his jacket pocket and handed them to Qin Shuhan: "I left in a hurry to pick you up, so I didn't bring much with me. Here are thirty yuan and some coupons. Why don't you take them, Engineer Qin?"
"..."
Qin Shuhan paused for a moment, then smiled. He took the money and notes from Feng Lin, thanked him casually, and said, "I'll pay you back later."
No rush.
Feng Lin smiled.
Shisong Village.
The villagers and the educated youth from the educated youth compound had just finished work when they saw a black car drive into the village. They were all curious and wanted to see where the two black cars would stop.
When the black car slowly came to a stop in front of Song Sanhe's courtyard, the villagers and educated youth who had gathered around couldn't help but start talking about it.
"What do you think the relationship is between the people sitting in that car and our accountant?"
"Who knows?"
"The accountant is a very capable person; she might even know some important figure!"
"What kind of official can ride in such a car? The accountant is capable, but the furthest he's ever been is probably the county seat. Could it be that the person in this car is a county leader?"
"I don't know, let's just wait and see!"
...
"The accountant has such an amazing relative!"
"What? You want to marry into the accountant's family and get some benefits? I've heard that the eldest son of the accountant family already has a fiancée, while the second son is single, but supposedly a good-for-nothing. You'd better think it through, don't ruin your life for a little bit of profit!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever say I wanted to marry an accountant?"
"Keep your voices down. The second son of the accountant family has been very well-behaved for the past month or so. He hasn't been wandering around the village at all."
"You don't actually have your eye on that good-for-nothing, do you?"
"What do you mean by 'good-for-nothing'? Are you saying I'm the only one who should change? As for whether I'm interested in someone or not, what's it to you?!"
The female educated youth listened to the commune members' discussions while they started arguing amongst themselves.
The sound wasn't loud, and the members of the commune standing nearby didn't hear it.
Feng Lin got out of the car, quickly went around to the other side, and helped Qin Shuhan open the car door.
"You are...?"
Many commune members and educated youths had gathered at the gate of his own courtyard. Song Sanhe had only been inside his house for a short time when he saw them. He walked out of the courtyard and saw Qin Shuhan getting out of the car, so he couldn't help but look at him.
