At this point, Qiu Guangyuan might resort to drastic measures, causing the guest to make a fundamental mistake. Wouldn't that give him leverage over the guest?
Qiu Guangyuan was the emperor of the underground palace. He entertained many officials from Deyang, and Mao Guangyu was a frequent guest there.
However, Mao Guangyu's rank was not high enough, so Qiu Guangyuan didn't take him seriously. But Zhou Fangchun knew that Qiu Guangyuan's power was far greater than he imagined. The number of people who had entered his palace was enough to fill a notebook. There was a reason why Qiu Guangyuan could act so arrogantly in Deyang.
Although Secretary Zuo was of a high rank, he suffered a lot of setbacks when he first came to Deyang to start his work.
Zhou Fangchun was confident that as long as Qiu Guangyuan nodded, even if Mao Guangyu was imprisoned by Secretary Zuo, Secretary Zuo would not dare to fight against Qiu Guangyuan. And dealing with a crocodile for its skin would come at a price. Zhou Fangchun's stepping stone was Qiu Jiadong's marriage.
Qiu Jiadong inherited Qiu Guangyuan's ways, neglecting his duties, engaging in gang fights, and womanizing. Qiu Guangyuan, on the other hand, could ride a bicycle to work, which shows that he was a cautious person.
He was terrified that his future would be ruined by his good-for-nothing son, so he always wanted to find Qiu Jiadong a decent marriage, keep Qiu Jiadong in check, and help the Qiu family continue its lineage.
What level is Qiu Guangyuan? He's seen at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, women. He wouldn't even look at ordinary women. The women who can marry into the Qiu family must have something extraordinary about them. Once they marry in, they'll be the mother of his future grandchildren. They have to raise the children well, be cultured and farsighted, and be beautiful too.
The decent girl didn't like Qiu Jiadong, and Qiu Guangyuan asked many people to introduce him to potential partners, but nothing came of it. This troublesome problem was solved by Zhou Fangchun, so Qiu Guangyuan naturally had to repay her for the favor.
Sheng Yuying happened to be home, so she asked someone to pour tea for Zhou Fangchun, as a courtesy, "You haven't come to sit with me in a long time. What have you been busy with lately?"
Zhou Fangchun didn't mention Mao Guangyu's matter, but Sheng Yuying must know that. Since he didn't bring it up, she didn't need to rush to do so.
She smiled and said she would introduce Qiu Jiadong to a girl, "Jiadong has met her. She is beautiful and has excellent grades. She is the top student in her grade in Deyang."
Sheng Yuying's eyes lit up. Capable families all want to change their genes. Qiu Jiadong is useless. Sheng Yuying doesn't expect him to be successful. She just hopes he can have a few useful children and place her hopes on her grandchildren.
The top student in her grade in Deyang? And she's beautiful too! She must be incredibly intelligent. Wouldn't it be perfect if someone like that married Qiu Jiadong?
Sheng Yuying became much warmer. When the nanny, Aying, brought her some boiled water, she complained, "Watch your eyes! Is Fangchun an ordinary person? Take my best Biluochun tea, the box that Lao Qiu just brought back."
Zhou Fangchun shifted her position slightly forward, her smile becoming more relaxed.
“Fangchun, tell me more about this girl. You know Jiadong has been lying at home since he injured his leg at the end of last year. Lao Qiu won’t let him go out and look for work. I also wanted to find him a wife, but he’s so irresponsible. He says he just wants to play around with women and doesn’t want to get married. It makes me so angry.”
"Sister, Jiadong told me personally that he likes this girl and wants to marry her. This girl is from my family. Her parents are divorced, but she is very ambitious and will definitely be a college graduate. If Jiadong can marry her, she will definitely be able to keep him in check! After the child is born, Jiadong will become a father. He will be responsible and have a wife to keep him in check, so you won't have to worry about him anymore."
Sheng Yuying nodded with emotion. If that were the case, she would feel much more at ease. Unlike now, she lives in constant fear, worried that Qiu Jiadong might do something reckless outside.
This kid got his leg injured last year, and he still won't behave! Just last month, he molested a waitress in the Eastern Babylonian. The girl was so upset she wanted to die, and she even came to my house to complain.
Fortunately, the girl was young. Sheng Yuying gave her 1,000 yuan and scared her, which intimidated her. The girl later became pregnant. Sheng Yuying found someone to take her to the hospital to have an abortion and gave her another sum of money to keep quiet.
That's how they managed to keep it a secret.
Sheng Yuying felt that she would die young after giving birth to such a son. She had no other choice but to pin her hopes on marriage.
