The Du family and Brother Chuan live very close to each other. If they have a good relationship, mentioning this could affect their friendship.
But if the relationship is bad, then this is a good opportunity to bring them down.
However, Bao Datong had secretly inquired and found out that Brother Chuan had no connection with their family. He now only had two words in his mind for that family: despicable.
“I’m not familiar with them, but I have a bad impression of them. I’m investigating them to make sure there are no dangers around me so I can take precautions in advance.”
"We need to know whether the people living around here are human or ghosts." As soon as Li Baichuan heard this, he knew that the Du family had a big problem.
"Brother Chuan, no wonder you have a bad impression of their family. They're really despicable." The gossips thought it made perfect sense when they heard him say that.
With so many people living around, why is Brother Chuan asking about his house instead of others? It must mean his true colors have been revealed.
"Brother Chuan, let me tell you, all the outrageous information we heard earlier is true. The Du family is really quite strange."
"As for the relatives who disappeared, they didn't disappear. They just changed their identities and are now living in another brigade."
“If it weren’t for our extensive connections, we wouldn’t have been able to find them even if they had been hiding in that remote mountain valley. That family is now the replacement for the family that dug up the grave before.”
"It's the ancestral home of the family that Du Laowu came to seek refuge with. Du Laowu proved it, and the brigade leader was given some benefits, so they were given a new identity."
"Brother Chuan, guess why they changed their identities? It's because they simply couldn't stay in their original unit anymore."
The informant became more and more excited as he spoke, but seeing that Li Baichuan had no expression, he lowered his voice and recounted the investigation.
It turns out that family was greedy for money; if they could use a life-for-life exchange, they were no human being.
That family was quite peculiar; they had three sons, who then had a whole bunch of grandsons, but only two granddaughters.
It was quite rare for a large family to have only two girls; they were among the few families in the production brigade at the time.
Because of the Du family's connections, they received a lot of dowry money and lived a comfortable life.
The eldest daughter was betrothed to the Du family early on. In the eyes of the villagers, marrying into a family in the capital was considered a step up, regardless of their background.
So they weren't willing to just find a partner for their remaining youngest daughter in the countryside.
Seeing that their eldest daughter was about to marry into the Du family, the family came to their door asking them to find a good match for their younger daughter as well.
The Du family valued their daughter who could keep their son's life at bay, fearing that if she were to make a mistake, their son, whom they had raised with such difficulty, would also be lost.
They searched everywhere they could find, but normal Beijing residents would never hire someone from the countryside.
Moreover, the girl from that family wasn't particularly outstanding, and that family wouldn't be happy to have a divorced woman or someone with some kind of problem.
The Du family was anxious; they hadn't married their daughter yet, and they dared not offend their in-laws in the slightest.
Around that time, the eldest daughter-in-law of the glass factory owner, who lived in the area, had just given birth. Since everyone in the family had a stable job, they wanted to find someone to take care of the child.
The Du family was intrigued by this news and decided to keep the person in the family first and then find her a partner later.
Moreover, since I was frequently coming and going from the factory manager's house, I had more opportunities to meet people, so I went to the factory manager's house to recommend people.
Nowadays, who dares to openly hire a nanny? They can only find someone from the countryside, claiming to be a distant relative.
One was from the countryside, unsophisticated, and asked for low wages; the other was also someone who had avoided trouble, so he sought connections and kinship, leaving those who came to the countryside with no clues when trying to investigate.
If you're from the capital, you'll be discovered sooner or later, so it's safe as long as you say you're from the countryside.
With the help of the Du family's longtime neighbors, the deal was quickly finalized.
But this was like inviting a wolf into the house; the girl ended up sleeping with the factory manager's youngest son.
What kind of family are they? Even if you make a scene and threaten to report them for harassment, it won't do you any good.
In the end, they were given some money to get rid of them.
The money given was enough for a countryman to marry a wife, so the family accepted it, but the girl was unwilling.
The Du family was really scared, fearing that the other family would cause more trouble, so they hurriedly discussed getting their son married to get rid of them as soon as possible.
After her sister married into the Du family, she secretly followed them, thinking that even if she didn't have the factory director's son, there would be others.
The family thought that since their daughter was already in this state, if she could really find someone to rely on, they would also enjoy the good life together.
Even if they end up with nothing, they won't lose out; they can still make a scene and demand another compensation.
But no one expected that she would actually get together with her brother-in-law, when her older sister had just become pregnant.
Fearing that things would escalate and that others would find out, the Du family eventually sent the two people back to their hometown.
Let's have the baby first, and then we'll see who lives with whom later. We're all family anyway.
Many people in their brigade knew about this, but no one dared to go out and talk about it.
Otherwise, their own children will also lose their good reputation, which will affect their marriage prospects. The whole brigade is united.
Even though the girl was almost drowned in spittle, and there was no evidence of them cheating, there was no proof to prove they were being indecent.
Not to mention that the factory director's family affair had frightened them, making them realize that no matter how rural people were, they couldn't compete with people from Beijing.
Everyone kept it a secret, and no one reported it until finally the younger sister returned to the Du family with the child.
It's said that the older sister went mad and eventually ran into the mountains, fell off a cliff, and her remains were never found. This incident caused quite a stir.
Fearing trouble, the brigade drove the family away. With no way out, they went to the Du family to cause trouble.
The Du family was afraid that the death of their sister would affect their son's luck, and they were even more afraid that if word got out, their whole family would be ruined.
Fortunately, the younger sister and the older sister were about the same age and had the same mother, so they looked alike.
She was a new bride, and everyone had only met her a couple of times. After she got pregnant, she went back to her parents' home to prepare for childbirth, and no one around her noticed anything unusual.
In addition, her younger sister deliberately cultivated a good relationship with the neighbors, leading everyone to believe that she was the Du family's daughter-in-law.
Since nothing happened to the Du family's son after she entered the family, the Du family had no choice but to accept it.
The Du family told others that their in-laws were dissatisfied with the betrothal gifts, and they did indeed come to ask for money back then.
They said that marrying their two daughters would require two dowries, and the Du family had no choice but to accept it. However, seeing their newborn grandson, they took him in and even arranged accommodation for them.
The Du family kept it a secret very well. All the people around them knew was that their daughter-in-law came from the countryside and was not particularly good-looking, yet she had managed to marry into a dual-income family.
She also kept her family under her thumb. The entire Du family listened to her, and it was said that she controlled all the family's money. Everyone said she was lucky.
