With a half-smile, Sun Xiulan pulled Jiang Meifeng aside and said, "Big sister, from what you're saying, you don't actually know Dai Qinxue's man, do you?"
Jiang Meifeng didn't deny it, so what was she denying?
Dai Qinxue's family has such high-ranking officials, so won't everything belong to her son in the future? Jiang Meifeng is not what she used to be. Even Sun Xiulan will have to curry favor with her in the future. Why should she keep a low profile?
I need to reveal my identity sooner rather than later and show it off.
Jiang Meifeng held her head high, "I am Dai Qinxue's mother-in-law. She said she would bring me to Beijing to be an official's wife. In the future, if your family needs anything, you don't need to go to the Dai family, just come to me. I can help you with anything!"
Sun Xiulan thought to herself that her daughter would tell any lie, and if she was going to lie, she should lie to the end. Sun Xiulan added fuel to the fire.
"Sister, I never expected you to be so lucky. We clicked, that's why I told you this. The Dai family is powerful and influential. If your son wants to become an official, it's just a matter of a word from the Dai family. Spend more money on your daughter-in-law and take good care of her, and you won't have to worry for the rest of your life!"
Jiang Meifeng disagreed, saying that there was no such thing as a mother-in-law serving her daughter-in-law!
But what Sun Xiulan said sounded rather mysterious.
"How can I possibly take care of her? I've been good enough to her."
"Elder sister, you don't know this, but the Dai family is not only powerful, but also very wealthy. They have a lot of money, like jade bracelets, gold necklaces, pearl earrings... Dai Qinxue has quite a lot of jewelry, but she doesn't flaunt it. She pretends to be poor to test your son's sincerity! If you serve Dai Qinxue well, you'll reap great benefits!"
Sun Xiulan suppressed her nausea and patted Jiang Meifeng's withered hand.
Dai Qinxue looked at their stingy appearance and realized that they weren't short of money; they were just testing the family's sincerity.
The thought that the Dai family's power and jewels were all in Dai Qinxue's hands made Jiang Meifeng even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Women, once they have a child, will follow men wholeheartedly. Jian'an, work harder, and if you two have a child, why are you afraid that the Dai family won't acknowledge it?
Jiang Meifeng regained her energy and grabbed Zhou Chufei, ready to leave.
If Dai Qinxue wants to act, she can't give herself away.
"Little sister, don't tell the Dai family I've been here. When I move in, you'll get plenty of benefits!" Jiang Meifeng spoke with the air of an official's wife, her tone firm and assertive.
Sun Xiulan chuckled twice, saw the person off, and then spat out a harsh "Pui!"
When the Dai family didn't return at noon, Sun Xiulan rode her bicycle to find Dai Qinxue. It was the first time she had taken the initiative to visit them, and Dai Qinxue panicked for a moment before pulling her into the house.
"Don't worry, no one saw me. I came here to tell you that your mother-in-law, Jiang Meifeng, went to the compound to inquire about you, and I happened to run into her."
Dai Qinxue was startled. "What's she doing here?"
"What can I do? I just want to verify whether what you said is true or false."
"Then what do you say?"
"Mom has already smoothed things over for you, saying that you are a daughter of the Dai family, with power and influence, and that your mother-in-law should take good care of you."
Dai Qinxue snapped out of her reverie. "What did she say?"
"She didn't say anything. She left with that fat grandson who looks like a pig. I'm not saying this to be mean, but at least Xu Yiyi is well-behaved. This grandson of hers doesn't look like he'll be easy to take care of. A stepmother is a stepmother after all. What good can you get from living under the same roof as her? You should whisper in Zhou Jian'an's ear and sow discord between him and his son. Make Zhou Jian'an hate this child and send him back to his hometown as soon as possible."
Sun Xiulan, having been through it all, knew that being a stepmother was difficult; no matter how good she was to Zhou Chufei, she could never truly win him over.
Since Dai Qinxue couldn't say that Zhou Chufei should be sent home, Zhou Jian'an had to be the bad guy.
Dai Qinxue took her mother's words to heart.
Sun Xiulan rode her bicycle here, but the bus had to take a detour. Jiang Meifeng, an illiterate countrywoman, had a lot of trouble taking the bus in the city, and it took her two whole hours to find Zhou Jian'an's place.
Dai Qinxue opened the door for her, feigning surprise:
"Mom, what brings you here? Chu Fei, you're here too? Aunt Dai and Sister Yiyi have missed you so much!"
Dai Qinxue gave Zhou Chufei a hug, and Zhou Chufei, a young boy, blushed when he was hugged.
"Aunt Dai is so kind, gentle and gentle," Zhou Chufei said, tilting his head back and responding eagerly, "Aunt Dai, my grandma brought me to Beijing, so I can live with you from now on! By the way, is my room ready?"
Dai Qinxue's face stiffened, and she forced a smile. "Beijing is not like your small county town. You can't just find a house here. We haven't found a suitable house yet."
Jiang Meifeng only realized how different big cities are from rural areas after she arrived.
Dai Qinxue, a young lady of high birth, was busy running around for Zhou Jian'an, so Jiang Meifeng couldn't push her too hard.
"It's okay, I'll stay here from now on, I'll help you find a place!"
Jiang Meifeng's painting made Dai Qinxue's face stiffen.
"Mom, the food in Beijing is very strong in flavor, I'm afraid you won't be used to it."
“What’s there to be unaccustomed to? You’ve been with Jian’an for years and there’s still no sign of pregnancy. This time, Mom is here to help you get some rest.”
Dai Qinxue's expression changed.
When Zhou Jian'an returned after receiving the call, he was completely stunned.
"Mom, what brings you here?"
Jiang Meifeng said smugly, "Your brother-in-law bought the train tickets for me. Mom just wanted to come and see you and Qinxue. Didn't you say you were helping Chufei transfer schools? I'm bringing Chufei to see the new school."
Zhou Jian'an hesitated, then said that he had lied to Jiang Meifeng and that he had never intended to bring Zhou Chufei to Beijing.
Dai Qinxue is the eldest daughter of the Dai family. It's already unfair enough for her to follow her. We can't really make her a stepmother, can we?
He hadn't even married her yet, and Zhou Chufei would only be a hindrance if she followed him. Unfortunately, Jiang Meifeng was completely oblivious to his situation, leaving Zhou Jian'an with no way to express his grievances. He could only try to appease Dai Qinxue by saying some conciliatory words.
