This was Zhou Chufei's first time in Beijing. Beijing was not comparable to Deyang, much less Rongtai County. Beijing was different from their countryside. His mother had three older sisters. What would he get if he went there? Although he was young, he wasn't stupid. He could only rise to prominence by following his college graduate father. His grandmother was right. His father only had one son, so everything he had would be his.
As long as he stays with his father, he can inherit his father's job in a few years. Isn't a good job in Beijing better than anything else? He'll be superior to everyone else when he goes out into the world. Shu Hui and Chu Yu didn't give him a good look and even beat him up. Zhou Chufei held a grudge and couldn't wait to grow up and go back to Deyang to take revenge on his sister.
"Grandma, shall we go to my dad's?"
"Why go to his place? Didn't I tell you? Let's go to Aunt Dai's house and see if that little hussy is trying to trick us."
Jiang Meifeng was no pushover. In the countryside, finding a partner required asking around about the other person's family background. Marriage was a three-tenths deception, and who wouldn't use their own money to cover up their own? But Dai Qinxue was different. She had slept in the same bed with Zhou Jian'an for two or three years, but had never taken him home once. All she did was make empty promises, and she even took two thousand yuan from Zhou Fangchun. The more Jiang Meifeng thought about it, the more suspicious she seemed.
Zhou Chufei pouted, "Aunt Dai is so kind, why would she lie to us? Grandma, you're overthinking it."
"What's so good about her? She only bought you a few toys, all with your dad's money, and you still defend her."
Zhou Chufei felt that Dai Qinxue and Xu Yiyi were good friends. Shu Hui hit and scolded him, but Dai Qinxue indulged him in everything. Xu Yiyi was also incredibly gentle. Zhou Chufei wanted Dai Qinxue to be his mother.
Zhou Chufei was scolded by Jiang Meifeng, so he turned his head away without saying a word. The bus slowly traveled eight stops before Jiang Meifeng got off the bus with large and small bags.
Jiang Meifeng thought the compound was like Zhoujia Village, where everyone lived in the same village. Little did she know that it was heavily guarded, with guards and patrols. She was nobody, so she couldn't even get through the gate, let alone inquire about the Dai family.
"Comrade, does the Dai family have a daughter named Dai Qinxue? I am her mother-in-law. If you let me in, I will definitely put in a good word for you with the Dai family!"
The guards were also helpless. Jiang Meifeng spoke with a thick Rongtai accent, so thick and rustic it was almost unbearable, yet she was quite confident, thinking that everyone should be able to understand her. The guards vaguely heard the name "Dai family," but the Dai family's daughter, Dai Qiongying, had married and moved away, and her mother-in-law was almost seventy years old and didn't look like that at all.
"Do you have any telegrams or letters from the Dai family? If you have nothing, I cannot inform you."
Jiang Meifeng was furious. "I told you, you're too rigid. I've already said I'm her mother-in-law. The Dai family has to watch their noses when they see me! Let me in. When I see the Dai family later, I'll definitely put in a good word for you and help you get promoted. It's better than standing guard here every day!"
Jiang Meifeng shook her head, feeling that the guard was ungrateful. She had already said that she was Dai Qinxue's mother-in-law. With such a high-ranking official in the Dai family, shouldn't the guard be eager to curry favor with her? Why was he pushing his official mother-in-law away?
The guard understood a few words, and his face darkened.
"Without identification, do not linger here. Please leave immediately!"
If the guards hadn't been armed, Jiang Meifeng would have practically thrown a tantrum on the ground. Bah! What a piece of trash! A mere watchdog dares to act tough with her. Once she finds Dai Qinxue, she'll see how she deals with this blind idiot!
Sun Xiulan returned from grocery shopping and saw an old woman from the countryside squatting in the shade of a tree near the gate of a courtyard with her plump grandson. Few people lingered outside the courtyard. Sun Xiulan glanced at her a few more times, and as she passed the guardhouse, she casually asked:
"Xiao Tang, who is that woman looking for?"
Sun Xiulan worked as a nanny for the Dai family. Xiao Tang knew her. Coincidentally, the old woman claimed to be a relative of the Dai family, so Xiao Tang said, "She said she was the mother-in-law of the eldest daughter of the Dai family and asked me to go in and inform her. She didn't have any documents to prove it, and her face was unfamiliar, so I didn't go in to inform her."
"The mother-in-law of the eldest daughter of the Dai family?"
The Dai family only has one daughter, Dai Qiongying, who is forty years old this year. Her husband is now the secretary of the Party branch in Deyang, and he is chauffeured around. If Dai Qiongying's mother-in-law wants to come to Beijing to visit her in-laws, Secretary Zuo will definitely arrange for a car to bring her over. He would never come here rashly like this.
Dai Qiongying's elder brother, Dai Xueyi, inherited their father's business and is now the head of the Dai family. Zhou Yun and Dai Xueyi only had one son, Dai Donglin. Sun Xiulan thought for a long time and realized that the Dai family had no such relative.
Sun Xiulan, carrying the vegetable basket with suspicion, had only taken a few steps when she suddenly came to her senses!
Her daughter claimed to be from the Dai family and tricked that college student into abandoning his wife and daughter. He spent a lot of money on her daughter. Could this woman be her daughter's mother-in-law?
Sun Xiulan felt increasingly uneasy. She walked up to Jiang Meifeng and smiled kindly, "Big sister, who are you looking for?"
Jiang Meifeng stood up. "I'm looking for the Dai family in the compound. The Dai family's daughter is my daughter-in-law. They're very powerful. Have you ever heard of them?"
Sun Xiulan was surprised to find that Jiang Meifeng was right. She had actually dared to come to Beijing alone to inquire about Dai Qinxue's family background.
Luckily, she caught them. If Zhou Yun or Dai Xueyi had seen them, not only would her daughter's marriage have been ruined, but she would also have been fired by the Dai family!
Sun Xiulan forced a smile and composed herself.
What a coincidence! She bumped into him. That old geezer wanted to inquire about her daughter, what a pipe dream! Too bad he ran into her.
"Big sister, who hasn't heard of the Dai family? They're high-ranking officials, with big positions and good families. Who wouldn't envy them? They have a daughter named Dai Qinxue. She divorced her husband a few years ago and then found a college graduate from the countryside. It's all over our compound!"
Sun Xiulan worked as a nanny in the Dai family for several years. The Dai family did not mistreat her. They would give her any unused fabrics. They didn't even care about Dacron.
