Chapter 103 Cadre → Night Soil Collector
This sudden scene completely destroyed the harmonious and warm atmosphere that had just filled the room.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, and Bai Zhenzhu and her daughter were also dumbfounded.
No, Wang Laowu, Zhang Guihua, who is this?
Bai Zhenzhu was a little flustered, but she still managed to maintain a smile. "In-laws, what are you doing?"
Unfortunately, her in-laws were hiding under the table, trembling with fear, and had no time to pay attention to her.
The burly man shouted again, "Wang Laowu, Zhang Guihua! You two bastards, give me back the money you swindled from me!"
The two imposing middle-aged couple hid under the table without making a sound.
Bai Zhenzhu's heart pounded. "Brother, what do you mean by this? Today is a joyous occasion for my in-laws, isn't it inappropriate for you to come and cause trouble?"
"Aunt Bai, don't you understand? It means that these two swindlers cheated this guy out of his money, and he's here to collect the debt."
Zheng Haicheng chuckled and stepped out from behind the burly man.
Upon seeing him, Bai Zhenzhu frowned and said unhappily, "Haicheng, what's wrong with you? No matter how much you can't let go of Xiaohui, you shouldn't have deliberately brought people to cause trouble when Xiaoqi's parents came to visit. Do you know how much this hurts Xiaohui? What's wrong with you...?"
They clearly didn't believe Zheng Haicheng's words, and only thought of him as someone who was in love but couldn't have, and deliberately brought people to cause trouble.
The crowd looked at the burly man with a fierce expression, and then at the 'imposing cadre' trembling under the table, and realized that this matter might not be as simple as Aunt Bai had said.
The fact that these two were so frightened by the burly man was suspicious.
Uh, I'd better shut up for now.
The burly man didn't care what they were thinking. He strode forward, went straight to the table, bent down, and pulled 'Qi's father' and 'Qi's mother' out from under the table, one in each hand.
The fierce-looking man roared, "You bastard, give me my money back!"
The deep-voiced 'Qi's father' struggled incessantly, howling like a pig being slaughtered: "Help! Murder!"
The proud and reserved "Mother Qi" wept bitterly, pleading, "Spare me, brother, spare me!"
The two men, who were just moments ago so dignified and composed, displaying the demeanor of high-ranking officials, have completely lost their composure.
Everyone: "..."
Uh, something's even more wrong now.
Cheng Jiajia: "..."
The person that guy surnamed Qi hired doesn't seem to have much mental fortitude.
Bai Xiaohui, however, was so concerned that she lost her composure and shouted at Zheng Haicheng, "What nonsense are you spouting? Did you deliberately hire someone to harm my parents-in-law? Take them away right now!"
Bai Zhenzhu's voice was gentle, but it carried a threat, "Haicheng, my in-laws are all government officials. Don't do anything reckless, or you'll anger them and they'll come after you later, and I won't be able to stop them."
Zheng Haicheng sneered, "Government officials? Bah! They really know how to pat themselves on the back!"
Bai Xiaohui, believing Zheng Haicheng was slandering Qi Baifan out of jealousy, became enraged and blurted out, "Your jealousy is useless! You're just a good-for-nothing! No matter how much trouble you cause, I still won't like you!"
Bai Zhenzhu, however, sensed something else in his words and frowned. "Haicheng, what do you mean by that?"
Zheng Haicheng glanced at Qi Baifan with disdain and scoffed, "Aunt Bai, your real in-laws are a street sweeper and a sanitation worker. This pretty boy surnamed Qi is just a temporary worker at the housing management bureau. His other six brothers are all lazybones, lying at home all day and letting their wives do odd jobs to support them. He can't do anything to me."
When Zheng Haicheng woke up in the hospital and learned that Qi Baifan had broken his head, he hated Qi Baifan and was determined to get back at him.
The hatred of having his wife stolen, the grudge of having his head smashed.
I swear I will not rest until I avenge this!
Having heard that Qi Baifan worked at the Housing Management Bureau, Zheng Haicheng, after recovering from his injury, thought about finding out more about him. His original intention was to find something on the kid and teach him a lesson.
Who knew that after making some inquiries, they would discover something incredible.
What government official?
Bah! Qi Baifan, that pretty boy, is nothing more than a temporary worker at the Housing Management Bureau!
What kind of cadre family is this?
Bah! One of the two old men in the Qi family is a street sweeper, and the other is a latrine cleaner in their area!
He'd heard that his six brothers were all young and promising, but they were all lazybones who spent their days lying at home while their wives did odd jobs to support them.
Even the wives of his three older brothers were tricked from the countryside, otherwise, they would not have been able to find wives because they were so poor and lazy.
Even Zheng Haicheng, who was shameless and knew he was being a scoundrel, was stunned.
Damn it, this pretty boy surnamed Qi is even better at bragging than I am.
If you give him a piece of your mind, this bastard will probably think he's invincible!
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Everyone's shocked gazes turned to the faces of Bai Zhenzhu and her daughter.
Good heavens!
Bai Zhenzhu's son-in-law, whom she's been showing off to every day, is actually a fake!
This man was actually the son of a sanitation worker and a latrine cleaner!
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng's jaws nearly dropped to the floor.
Even though they guessed that the Qi family wasn't well-off, they never expected it to be like this!
The difference is just too big!
This guy is a real talent!
Give him a piece of bragging rights, and he can boast about the whole world.
But can the Bai family mother and daughter accept this?
Of course, Bai Zhenzhu couldn't accept that!
With a loud thud, it was the sound of Bai Zhenzhu falling off the chair.
Bai Zhenzhu sat on the ground, looking at Qi Baifan in disbelief. "Xiao Qi, he's just talking nonsense, isn't he?"
Qi Baifan opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
He wanted to deny it, but this person had clearly come prepared. Denying it wouldn't help; he was probably really in trouble this time.
Seeing his appearance made Bai Zhenzhu's heart skip a beat.
Pointing at the middle-aged couple being held by the burly man, she continued, unwilling to give up, "And what about them? Who are they?"
Zheng Haicheng chuckled, "These two are swindlers he hired." He then pointed at the burly man and said, "This Brother Wang is a victim who was swindled by these two and is here to ask them for his money back."
Bai Zhenzhu's heart was completely dead.
She didn't want to believe it, but the doubts she had deliberately ignored before surfaced in her mind one by one.
No wonder Qi Baifan's parents never showed up when discussing marriage; no wonder Qi Baifan had no money.
Damn it, how much money could a temporary worker possibly have to support a family?!
Her new son-in-law, Bai Zhenzhu, went from being a promising young man from a cadre family to the son of a sanitation worker and a street sweeper. If word got out, people would probably laugh their heads off!
White Pearl gritted her teeth.
What's even more outrageous is that someone with a sharp tongue joked, "No wonder they became in-laws. Aunt Bai also works in the logistics department doing cleaning. Who would have thought that the two families would have such a connection!"
This man just couldn't stand Bai Zhenzhu's smugness these past few days, as if she was afraid people wouldn't know she'd found a good son-in-law, and she was showing off everywhere in the courtyard.
If you're going to show off, just show off. Why do you have to put down someone else's daughter or son-in-law? Does anyone feel comfortable hearing that?
Bai Zhenzhu nearly choked on her breath, and her vision blurred.
Bai Xiaohui screamed and shook her head frantically, "Impossible, this is impossible!"
She couldn't accept that her new husband was the son of a sanitation worker!
This is disgusting!
That's disgusting!
Bai Xiaohui shook Qi Baifan's collar, "Brother Baifan, tell me, tell me, you're not the son of a sanitation worker, are you? You come from a cadre family, right?"
Qi Baifan closed his eyes, looking resigned to his fate.
Anyway, he and Bai Xiaohui had already registered their marriage, so no matter what, he was Bai's son-in-law.
"Ahhh! Say something!"
Bai Zhenzhu rushed over and grabbed Qin Weimin by the collar. "Old Qin, didn't you say that the Qi family are cadres?"
Qin Weimin had a bad feeling when he heard Zheng Haicheng talk about the Qi family's background; he was afraid he was in trouble.
Meeting Bai Zhenzhu's resentful gaze, he immediately looked away guiltily, stammering, "Zhenzhu, I... I did hear that from the third brother... No!"
He suddenly remembered something and roared, "Third brother, explain yourself! What exactly happened?! Didn't you say the whole Qi family works for the government?! How could you lie to us?"
It's all because this kid talked nonsense that he introduced Xiaohui to such a useless person, and that he got blamed by Zhenzhu.
Qin Ziwen had a mocking smile on his lips. "Dad, I didn't lie to you. I never said that the Qi family was a cadre family."
“You asked me if Qi’s parents worked for the government, and I answered yes, but I never said they were cadres.”
Qin Weimin angrily retorted, "You still dare to argue? Doesn't working in the government make you a cadre? You little brat, how could you do this to Xiaohui?"
Qin Ziwen said calmly, "Qi Baifan's parents are a municipal sanitation worker and a municipal latrine cleaner, don't they work for the government? I didn't lie to you or harm anyone, you just misunderstood."
Qin Weimin: "..."
Qin Weimin swallowed back the angry curse that was about to erupt in his throat, and glanced guiltily at Bai Zhenzhu, whose expression was inscrutable.
Could it be that I misheard and made a mistake?
Qin Weimin was inexplicably afraid to face Bai Zhenzhu, so he shrank back and remained silent.
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng gave Qin Ziwen a strange look. This kid is good at word games!
Bai Zhenzhu, abandoning her usual gentleness, became ferocious, violently shaking Qin Weimin and demanding, "Tell me! Tell me! Didn't you say the Qi family were all cadres?"
She dared not imagine how the people in the backyard would laugh at her after today!
Bai Zhenzhu became increasingly frantic, shaking Qin Weimin violently.
Qin Weimin: "..."
Damn, I'm getting dizzy from all the shaking.
It was Aunt Yan who came over and managed to pull the person out with a few quick grabs.
She cursed viciously, "Pah! You vixen, you think you can seduce my man in broad daylight? What does it matter to my man and son whether your daughter's boyfriend's family are government officials or sanitation workers? You two are just trying to climb the social ladder, you deserve it!"
"Let's go, let's go home!"
Everyone sighed in dismay.
Not long ago, everyone was praising the Bai family's in-laws who were cadres. Who could have imagined that things would develop like this?
...
Bai Xiaohui's ideal partner turned out to be a disappointment; the promising young man from a cadre family suddenly became the son of a sanitation worker.
This news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching every corner of Compound No. 35.
Now even a three-year-old knows that Bai Xiaohui's husband is the son of a sanitation worker. When he sees Bai Xiaohui, he will deliberately cover his nose, shout "It stinks!", and then run away in disgust.
Bai Xiaohui ran away crying, covering her face, "Waaah, I don't want to live anymore!"
However, if we were to ask who was the happiest in the courtyard, it would undoubtedly be Aunt Yan and Wu Meifang.
After all, neither of them wanted Bai Xiaohui to find a good partner who would overshadow their son/husband.
Originally, Aunt Yan and Wu Meifang were feeling uneasy because Bai Xiaohui had gotten lucky, but unexpectedly, they suddenly heard such great news from next door.
"Amitabha Buddha, Heaven truly has eyes!"
After returning home, Aunt Yan immediately put her hands together and bowed three times towards the east.
Let me tell you how happy she was.
Even seeing the old man's obvious displeasure did not diminish her joy in the slightest.
Knowing that Qin Ziwen had found such a good man for that little bitch Bai Xiaohui, Aunt Yan felt even more delighted.
The third brother did a great job!
It gave her, as a mother, a huge boost and a huge sense of relief after all these years!
She knew that her third son wouldn't turn a blind eye to her grievances as his mother. All those years of closeness to Bai Zhenzhu must have been an act, just to stab the Bai family in the back now!
As for Wu Meifang, ever since the accident that affected her pregnancy, she had been quite weak and easily fatigued. So she went to bed early during this period and didn't hear about that farce at all.
She didn't wake up until late morning today, and heard Aunt Yan, who brought her food, recount the whole story with great enthusiasm.
Aunt Yan gloated and cursed, "Look at herself! She really wants to find a cadre? Do you think any cadre would even look at her? Just like her mother! A promiscuous slut!"
Wu Meifang laughed so hard she was doubled over, unable to straighten her back.
"Hahaha, serves him right! You know what you're capable of, daring to mock my Ziwen brother!"
Bai Xiaohui openly mocked her, saying she must have been blind to have chosen Qin Ziwen, and that only outstanding men were worthy of her. Doesn't that mean Qin Ziwen is no good and not outstanding?
Then what am I, who married Qin Ziwen?
Because of this, Wu Meifang harbored resentment and wished Bai Xiaohui would suffer a great misfortune.
Hearing that Bai Xiaohui's ideal partner was a lie, and that he was actually the son of a sanitation worker, how could she not be pleased?
Wu Meifang felt as happy as if she had drunk ice-cold soda on a sweltering summer day; she couldn't stop smiling.
"Pah! Let her seduce men everywhere, let her climb the social ladder. She deserves to be cheated and picked up the worst one!" In Wu Meifang's mind, even the idle Zheng Haicheng was better than the sanitation worker's son.
"I'll see how she lives with this pretty boy from now on!"
"Want to find a good partner? Dream on!"
As she was laughing, Wu Meifang's expression suddenly changed. Her brows furrowed deeply, and her face gradually turned pale.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
Aunt Yan was startled and quickly helped her up, saying, "Meifang, Meifang, what's wrong? Don't scare your mother!"
Her eldest grandson can't be hurt!
Wu Meifang clutched her stomach, a layer of white sweat beading on her forehead, her expression terrified. "Mom, my stomach hurts, and it seems like I'm bleeding!"
Aunt Yan was startled, her soul almost leaving her body, and she quickly looked behind her.
Dark stains were slowly spreading from the inside of the pants.
Aunt Yan's face turned pale instantly.
With a heart-wrenching scream, she cried out, "Oh my God, it's my grandson!!!"
