Zhou Yanchen's tone was somewhat complicated: "I'm even starting to suspect that the little girl in the compound who had half her face disfigured when she was a child might be related to Weiwei."
"you……"
Li Yao opened her eyes wide.
"A group of girls were playing together, and Weiwei was one of them. The girl who had the accident was not only pretty, but also very endearing..."
Zhou Yanchen did not continue.
Li Yao didn't believe it: "Don't think of Weiwei as such a bad person. She would never hurt her playmate!"
“I only have doubts, there’s no need for you to get so emotional.”
Zhou Yanchen comforted his wife and then said, "Weiwei has never suffered since she was a child, and she was spoiled by her elders in the family, which has made her proud and arrogant. She sometimes shows disrespect to you, her mother."
"..."
Li Yao knew that her daughter had a lot of opinions about her background in recent years, so whenever she was lectured, her daughter would bring up her background. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel uncomfortable about it.
But is her birthplace something she can choose?
Knowing this weakness of hers, she was as cautious and discreet as possible in her words and actions, both at home and outside, for fear of causing trouble for her husband and children. However, her daughter, Weiwei, did not understand her as a mother...
"What's wrong?"
After not hearing Li Yao speak for a long time, Zhou Yanchen couldn't help but ask.
Pulled back to reality by his voice, Li Yao quickly shook her head: "It's nothing."
Then she said, "Weiwei is only in her first year of high school. If we send her to the countryside now, she will only have a junior high school diploma. This...this is not good!"
"How much can she learn even if she sits in school?"
Zhou Yanchen's face darkened instantly when he thought of his daughter Zhou Shiwei's academic performance: "She seems smart, but she just doesn't use her brain for the right things. Keeping her in school is just a waste of two more years. Instead of that, it would be better to send her to the countryside to temper her character."
What should we do if Weiwei starts making a fuss?
Li Yao asked.
"I'll take my household registration booklet to register tomorrow. No matter how much trouble she causes, I'll personally see her off on the train when it's time to leave."
Zhou Yanchen's tone left no room for negotiation.
"It's already winter, I doubt the educated youth office will have any arrangements."
Shouldn't the educated youth office arrange for educated youth to go to the countryside before the busy farming season? That way, once the educated youth arrive in the countryside, they can work directly with the villagers. Isn't she wrong?
Li Yao was filled with questions.
“Every year from June to March of the following year, the educated youth office may arrange for educated youth to go to the countryside.”
Zhou Yanchen said in a deep voice, "I plan to enroll Weiwei in a program to go to the Northeast. If she goes there now, she'll be hibernating for the winter, so she won't have to go to the fields to work right away. This will also help her gradually get used to rural life. Once the soil thaws after the New Year's harvest, she can go to the fields with the villagers."
"...You can make the arrangements, but aren't you really worried about Weiwei getting hurt so far away?"
The child is her own, and even if she doesn't respect her as the mother, Li Yao still finds it hard not to worry.
After all, she could imagine how tough life in the countryside must be, even though she hadn't experienced it herself.
If what happened to Yuan Xiaoya today were to happen to her own daughter someday, what would she do, since they are so far away?
"Don't worry, I'll try my best to talk to the comrades in the educated youth office and arrange for Weiwei to go to the village where Shi Yang was sent down to."
The Shi Yang that Zhou Yanchen mentioned was his brother's son, that is, his nephew. He went to the countryside two years ago, and the location happened to be a mountain village in the Northeast.
"Oh well."
Hearing this, Li Yao felt much relieved. In her opinion, since Zhou Shiwei and her cousin Zhou Shiyang were both sent to the countryside in the same village, they could at least look after each other on a daily basis.
Guest room.
Yuan Xiaoya didn't make a sound when she heard the knocking, because she guessed that it was most likely Zhou Shiwei standing outside, and she knew that even if she didn't speak, given Zhou Shiwei's personality, she would definitely push the door open and come in herself.
Just as she expected, Zhou Shiwei pushed open the door, casually closed it behind her, and asked without any politeness, "You said that guy surnamed Song was..."
Before Zhou Shiwei could finish speaking, Yuan Xiaoya interrupted her: "I didn't say anything!"
"Isn't it a little too late for you to deny it now?"
Zhou Shiwei sat down in the chair and looked coldly at Yuan Xiaoya: "Tell me, I'm just a little curious."
"Why should I tell you? Besides, why would I cause myself trouble with something that's not even true?!"
The fact that Song Lan's vixen-like man could say such things in front of her made her suspect that the Yuan family's troubles were related to him. The fact that he could find evidence to bring down her family's crimes showed that he was exceptionally capable and had a powerful backer.
Otherwise, why would even her grandfather have retired?
"If it were something that didn't even exist, would you be able to say it?"
Zhou Shiwei didn't believe it.
“I’m spreading rumors, do you understand?” Yuan Xiaoya and Zhou Shiwei looked at each other. “I not only spread rumors, but I also paid people to spread them. I was even taken back to the police station by the officers. If you want to sit in the police station, go ahead and spread rumors, but it has nothing to do with me.”
At this point, Yuan Xiaoya stared at Zhou Shiwei for a moment with an ambiguous expression, then said, "Don't think I don't know that what happened here at your house today was just you using the guise of helping me to achieve your own selfish goals."
"I really don't understand. Are you some kind of infatuated womanizer who wants to possess every good-looking guy you see? Even if he's married, you still go after him! Zhou Shiwei, you're truly shameless!"
Zhou Shiwei: "I have no shame? You think you have any shame? If you really cared about your reputation, why did you insist on clinging to Chen Dongze?"
