Xu Fengxian was also a little stunned, but she spoke faster than she thought, and went out to greet people, even with a smile on her face.
"Hey, Secretary Wu, what brings you to our team? What brings you here?"
Oh dear, this is really unfortunate. We just had lunch at home, otherwise we would have invited you to stay for a meal. But now you've all finished eating, hehehehe... Look at this..."
Wu Chunni's father, who was also the Party Secretary of the neighboring brigade, snorted coldly after seeing the fake smile on Xu Fengxian's face:
"I won't eat the food from the He family, but you have to give me an explanation. What exactly does He Laosi mean?"
Before, when he was pursuing our Chunni, he made a big fuss, wanting everyone to know. Now that he's got her, he's just dumping her like that? Which rich family has he climbed to now?
As Xu Fengxian listened to these words, each one became more and more unfamiliar.
She seemed to understand each sentence individually, but when put together, she just couldn't figure out what it meant.
Did her son, He Laosi, dump Wu Chunni? Or did he marry someone better?
No, why doesn't she believe that?
She used to earnestly advise He Laosi not to go to Wu Chunni, believing that the Wu family was very domineering and that Wu Chunni must be spoiled, and that He Laosi would suffer in the end.
As a result, He Laosi ignored her advice and insisted on clinging to Wu Chunni, who was neither good-looking nor had a good figure.
Now, she, as the mother, was already prepared to accept this daughter-in-law with a heavy heart (for the sake of Wu Chunni's father being the brigade secretary), but she was told that she didn't need to accept her anymore?
And how come she didn't know that He Laosi had climbed the social ladder? How high of a ladder is considered high? Is it even more powerful than the Party Secretary?
So, she won't have to see that annoying Wu Chunni anymore, and her fourth son can marry an even more capable wife.
Thinking of this, Xu Fengxian felt a secret joy.
"Oh dear, Secretary Wu, what are you saying? Haven't you always disapproved of the two children seeing each other? Now that my fourth son has come to his senses and broken things off on his own, why aren't you happy?"
Secretary Wu knew that the He family, especially Xu Fengxian, might be quite wicked, but he didn't expect them to be this wicked.
"You, you...you're a woman too, don't you know how important reputation is to a woman? How could you say such a thing? Is this behavior of your fourth son a result of your upbringing?!"
Upon hearing that she was being subtly criticized for not knowing how to raise children, Xu Fengxian immediately erupted in anger.
“Good upbringing? How is my upbringing bad?! You don’t allow my son to associate with your daughter, so are we supposed to fawn over you and be indifferent to us?”
How come your daughter has now realized how good my son is and can't bear to let go of him? Why didn't you say these things when you were stringing my fourth son along, being lukewarm towards him?
My family wasn't very good at raising children, but as a woman, it's already quite an achievement that I managed to raise all these children to adulthood.
And what about you? A brigade Party Secretary, and what kind of daughter have you raised? How dare you say I don't know how to raise children!
Secretary Wu wasn't the type of person who was good at arguing, and in this back and forth, he was almost driven to the point of collapse by Xu Fengxian's anger.
"I don't argue with women, and don't give me this nonsense. Just hand over your He Laosi right now and make him give me an explanation, or else... humph!"
As if to cooperate with him, the group of men who came all snorted and waved their tools.
Xu Fengxian's heart trembled, but she didn't show too much fear. She turned her head and called out into the house:
"Fourth brother, come out here..."
