Yao's mother sighed, "Jinye has become the mayor. He's no longer the young man who needed your father's help. His attitude towards you has also deteriorated a lot."
"It's also your older brother's fault for being so useless. If he were capable, you wouldn't be bullied like this."
“Xiao Lei is quite clever. Your father and I are getting old and don’t have many years left. We are hoping that Xiao Lei will grow up, support our family, and stand up for you.”
“Xiaohui, Mom, you’ve told me before that only your family will truly care about you.”
“Jinye used to be a good kid, but once he climbed up the ladder, he started to forget his roots.”
Do you understand what Mom means?
Yao Huixian nodded firmly, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll make sure Lao Qin promotes Xiao Lei properly."
Her mother was right; a woman's family is her roots.
Xiao Lei is smart, and his future achievements will definitely not be lower than Qin Jinye's.
What he lacks now is an opportunity and a platform.
Outside, Yao Huixian's sister-in-law called for dinner. Yao's mother tugged at her daughter's sleeve, "Let's go out to eat."
At the dinner table, Yao's father, as was his habit, chatted with Qin Jinye for a while, reminiscing about the hardships of the past, and so on...
"Jinye, when did you start working?" Yao's father asked.
"The eighth day," Qin Jinye replied.
Mr. Yao asked his grandson to pour wine for Qin Jinye, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you with Xiao Lei."
At this moment, Qin Jinye put down his chopsticks and said, "Dad, I've been thinking about it. Let's put Xiaolei's matter aside for now and talk about it again later."
"Huh?" Everyone at the table was caught off guard.
Yao Lei asked eagerly, "Why? Uncle?"
The others also looked at Qin Jinye, waiting for him to explain the reason.
What's the meaning behind this sudden reversal of the agreement that was made before the new year?
Qin Jinye glanced at Yao Huixian and said to Yao's father, "Dad, let Huixian explain to you. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he left the Yao family without hesitation, ignoring their attempts to stop him.
They even drove the car away when they left.
The factory workers' families watched as the Santana car drove away around lunchtime, and there was clearly only one person in the car.
They started discussing it animatedly.
In no time, at least twenty versions of the rumor had emerged, each more outrageous than the last.
Qin Jinye's sudden departure plunged the Yao family into a somber atmosphere.
"You, Qin Jinye, are something else."
Mr. Yao slammed his hand on the dining table, causing the chopsticks to fall to the ground and the soup in the bowl to splash everywhere.
The sudden action startled everyone. Yao's mother wanted to say something, but the tense atmosphere choked her throat.
Brother Yao snapped out of his daze and was furious. "What does Qin Jinye mean by this? Is he trying to kick us while we're down? Does he really think he's something special just because he's become mayor? He used to be so arrogant and domineering in front of us..."
"Enough." Yao's father looked at Yao Huixian with a gloomy expression. "Tell me everything that happened today."
Yao Huixian never expected that Qin Jinye would disrespect her so readily and turn against her family on the spot.
With a grim expression, he described what had happened that day.
This includes her disrespect towards Qin Jinye, her sarcastic remarks towards Lin Xiaoxiao at the dinner table, and her cursing Qin Yushen to die...
"Idiot." After hearing this, Yao's father cursed at her.
Yao Huixian felt extremely wronged. "Why should I cook for them when they come to my house? They're not my biological children."
"And I scolded Qin Yushen because he dumped Huaijun, but I did nothing wrong."
Yao's father pointed out her problem incisively, "If you don't like your stepson, then why did you rush to become a stepmother in the first place?"
"It's one thing to be a bad stepmother, but to abuse people is just plain disrespectful. In my opinion, you just can't tell right from wrong."
"You've spoiled Huaiyi rotten. How could I have given birth to such a stupid daughter like you?"
Yao's father was genuinely angry.
His daughter is a complete idiot; she can't see the situation clearly.
Since you abused your stepson from a young age, why not be more ruthless and just detain him in Beijing and let him become a useless person?
Now that they've risen up and have the ability to deal with you, not only do you not restrain yourself, but you also want to use the same old methods to deal with them. Isn't that a sign of not understanding the situation?
The man was a colonel with a promising future in the military; Qin Jinye clearly wanted to win back his son.
She's terrible; not only does she not share Qin Jinye's views, but she also constantly embarrasses him.
If he's not angry, who is?
Yao Huixian still felt wronged, but she felt more regretful than anything else.
The two things she regretted most were letting Qin Yushen find an opportunity to join the army in Jiangcheng and sending him a wife who was equally capable.
My heart felt like it was being roasted over a fire; I was filled with regret, pain, resentment, and bitterness—a complex mix of emotions.
"Grandpa, my dad is determined to side with Qin Yushen. No matter what my mom does, he won't be satisfied," Qin Huaijun said on behalf of her mother.
Now their positions have been completely reversed with Qin Yushen's.
Qin Jinye's attitude towards them was the same as his attitude towards Qin Yushen since childhood; no matter what Qin Yushen did, he was never satisfied.
Because there is nothing left for them to gain.
It cannot be denied that Qin Huaijun had a fairly clear understanding of the situation, and it was precisely because he had a clear understanding that he was eager to find a solution.
Mr. Yao frowned, seemingly lost in thought, his face shifting between pale and flushed, like a palette of colors.
After a long while, he finally spoke, "Your dad's wings have really hardened; he wants to dismantle the bridge after crossing the river."
After saying that, he let out a cold snort.
He and Qin Jinye, who had been father-in-law and son-in-law for so many years, could be said to have watched him climb up the social ladder and had a deep understanding of his character.
