"If I want to get married, the first thing I need to make is certain: he's a human being, not an animal. You're comparing your son to my husband? Does he even deserve it?"
What angered Suti the most was that they looked down on her man, thinking he was on the same level as her son. How blind could they be?
"..."
The people in Qingshan Brigade fell silent. At first, they thought this comrade was very shrewish, but as they heard more, they realized something was wrong.
So that's why she was so angry—because the Hu family looked down on her husband. What could they possibly say?
"Who is Hu Ziqiang to you?" Wei Baichuan, who had been silent for a long time, asked this question out of the blue.
"Hu Ziqiang? Isn't that the eldest son of the Hu family? Wasn't he dead a long time ago?"
Even without the Hu family saying anything, the rest of the brigade looked at Wei Baichuan with blank expressions. Did he know Hu Ziqiang?
"What do you mean? You know our eldest son?" The woman from the Hu family turned to look at Wei Baichuan.
She looked at him carefully. She didn't recognize him. Hu Ziqiang was only a few years old when she sent him up the mountain.
Later, they even saw his tattered shoe head at the bear's place. They all said that he had been eaten by the bear, and they had never heard from him again.
"It's nothing. I just met someone like that in the mountains a long time ago. He said he would haunt his parents even as a ghost. I was curious at the time about how much hatred he must have. Now I understand."
Wei Baichuan said this sinister thing with a smile, which made the Hu family members tremble with fear.
The words "I'll haunt them even as a ghost" are truly chilling.
"Captain, what do you think we should do to resolve this?" Suti knew her man wasn't the kind of person who lacked common sense.
At this point, suddenly mentioning someone you don't know must have a purpose.
"Comrade, don't bother with the Hu family. They're out of their minds. I don't think we need to report this to the police. I'll have them apologize to you."
The captain definitely didn't want to report it to the police.
"Apologize? Why should I apologize? I've already killed the chicken, she has to stay and become my daughter-in-law, otherwise it's no good."
The woman from the Hu family continued to shout, believing that as long as she persisted, there would always be one or two people on her side.
If word gets out, this girl will lose face, and her in-laws will definitely not tolerate her.
She had nowhere else to go but to come to their house; she understood perfectly well.
"Baichuan, let's go." Suti knew that normal methods couldn't be used against the Hu family; they were psychologically unstable.
Anyway, they couldn't beat Baichuan, and she knew that no one in the brigade would dare to stop her.
"No, you can't leave." The woman from the Hu family tried to stop them, but how could the captain of the Qingshan Brigade let her cause trouble?
He knew what others didn't; he had heard others mention it more than once during meetings.
No matter how powerful or capable he was, even if he were a fool, he would know that she was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
"Hu family, if you continue to act crazy, I won't give you any face."
Suti and Wei Baichuan walked out like that, while the Hu family members were stopped by the captain and his men.
“Captain, I know that the members of your brigade are good people, not all of them are like Hu Jia.”
"Can I ask if the Hu family has always been like this?" Suti felt it was too much of a coincidence; something had been off ever since he arrived at this brigade.
"Comrade, the Hu family is just too picky. You know our brigade has poor conditions, and very few girls are willing to marry into our family."
“I think the Hu family is in a hurry. Their two sons are grown up, and they’ve tried to find a match with several matchmakers, but nothing has worked out. They’re just grasping at straws. Don’t take it personally with them.”
What the brigade leader didn't say was that if ordinary people wanted to lower their standards when looking for a partner, they could usually find one.
But the Hu family is no ordinary family. Years ago, she abandoned Old Hu's firstborn child in the mountains, and her reputation was already ruined.
Such a ruthless act would deter most families from marrying into this family. But Old Hu fell down the mountain while the brigade was harvesting tea, and the brigade remembers that.
In addition, the Hu family is quite shrewish in their brigade, and most people don't want to have conflicts with them, so nothing major has happened in recent years.
The brigade leader thought that her family was being so hospitable today that she wanted this comrade from the city to find a partner for her two sons.
Even though I thought they were being delusional, I didn't stop them. Who knew they would be so bold as to take a liking to this comrade?
Su Di didn't say anything more. When she heard the sound of a car horn coming from the other side, she pulled Wei Baichuan away without looking back.
"It's over, it's over, the Hu family has gotten themselves into big trouble." The captain was surprised to see that they were being picked up by car.
Even the leaders of the commune didn't receive such treatment; this comrade was someone they dared not offend.
The captain of the Qingshan Brigade hurried back; he wanted to go to the Hu family and ask them what they were thinking.
Who gave them the idea to cause trouble for this comrade?
"What's wrong? Is work not going well?" Qi Feng could tell something was wrong at a glance; he had even arrived a little early.
"I ran into some trouble." Suti didn't hide it. More people meant more options, especially since this was someone who wasn't simple.
Suti recounted everything that had happened that day, including the points she suspected.
“Something is definitely not right. I also went to investigate those people who were with the Wei family today.”
“They were obviously sent by higher-ups to oversee the bridge construction, but I checked and their identities are fake.”
"They're getting together with that guy from the Wei family because he saved their lives, but what a coincidence! And then this whole brigade is acting like this today. Do you think these two things are related?"
Qi Feng knew that the two children were smart, so he didn't hide it from them; these people were after them.
"I also suspect that someone said something to the Hu family, which led them to have ulterior motives. What do they want to do? Just ruin my reputation?"
Suti understood what he meant, but so far these people's methods had all been strange.
They seemed to just want to embarrass her, not to kill her.
“They’re from Shanghai.” Qi Feng felt he probably knew who had sent them.
All these actions were merely intended to cause trouble for this girl, and perhaps the real purpose was to cause trouble for the Guo family.
Suti understood what he meant, glanced at him, and felt that she should call her grandfather first to make things clear.
"Don't be afraid, children. I'm here. No one will dare to harm you. You don't need to worry about the Hu family."
"The innocent are innocent. Even if they deliberately spread rumors, you don't need to care."
Qi Feng was afraid that she was too meticulous and would care about such trivial matters, just like the people in the Hu family were thinking.
If she really cares, then she's fallen for their trick.
