"Xiangxiang, you are a girl. What's so good about Xu Weiguo that he can make you so obsessed with him?" Mother Xi felt a headache when she heard her daughter's words.
"I don't care, I just want to marry Brother Weiguo. If you don't agree, I will die." Xi Xiang said crying.
When Xi's mother heard her daughter's words, she became furious.
"Xi Xiang, you are the eldest daughter of our Xi family. Look at you now. You are willing to humiliate yourself just to get married. How can you look like a lady from a noble family?" Xi's mother was helpless about her daughter's disappointment.
After hearing what her mother said, Xi Xiang ran back to her room in anger. After returning to her room, she calmed down and realized that crying now would not solve the problem.
She knew very well why Xu Weiguo's mother wanted her to be her daughter-in-law. It was because she was attracted by her family background and wanted to use the marriage to help the Xu family move to a higher level.
As long as she got the approval of Xu Weiguo's parents, she wouldn't be afraid that Xu Weiguo wouldn't marry her. As for the female educated youth, Xi Xiang decided to deal with her personally.
Xi Xiang left home to find her good friend Bo Xueer, who was Zhou Yuanchao's admirer. Even Xu Weiguo was seduced by someone, so she didn't believe that no one had seduced Zhou Yuanchao.
If she knew that Zhou Yuanchao was seduced away by someone in the countryside, she would definitely be more excited than herself.
She decided to take Bo Xueer with her to the countryside to find Xu Weiguo and Zhou Yuanchao and declare her sovereignty to the women who coveted them.
When they were almost at Bo's house, Xi Xiang pretended to be sad, and as soon as she saw Bo Xueer, she immediately hugged her and started crying.
"Xue'er, what kind of woman do you think seduced Brother Weiguo?" Xi Xiang asked with tears in her eyes.
Bo Xue'er didn't know how to answer this question, so she could only comfort her by saying, "Xiangxiang, maybe Weiguo was just lonely for a while, so he found a female educated youth to relieve his boredom."
"Xue'er, aren't you worried that Brother Yuanchao will be seduced away by those female educated youth?" Xi Xiang asked.
"No, Brother Yuanchao has seen so many girls, he won't be seduced so easily." Bo Xueer said with some lack of confidence.
Ever since Zhou Yuanchao went to the countryside, she had been worried that he might get lonely and fall in love with one of the other young women. After hearing about Xu Weiguo's situation, she was even more worried.
Xi Xiang heard the lack of confidence in her words and knew that his goal was about to be achieved, so he immediately started to add fuel to the fire.
"Xue'er, think about it, with Brother Yuanchao's family background, those female educated youth will definitely use all means to seduce him. Even Brother Weiguo was seduced away, will they let Brother Yuanchao go?" Xi Xiang's tone was full of hints.
"No, Brother Yuan Chao will not be seduced by those female educated youth."
"Those female educated youth would do anything to climb up the social ladder. I'm afraid he'll be schemed against and have to marry the woman who schemed against him."
After hearing this, Bo Xueer became a little worried and asked Xi Xiang what his plans were.
"I plan to go to the place where Brother Weiguo went to work as an educated youth in the countryside. I want to watch over him in person and make the woman who snatched him away give up and return Brother Weiguo to me." Xi Xiang said gritting her teeth.
"It's not very hard to go to the countryside as an educated youth. Can you bear it?" Bo Xueer asked with some concern.
"What's so difficult about this? With our family connections, it's easy for him to come back, right? Otherwise, why would Grandpa Zhou be willing to let Brother Yuanchao go to the countryside? He just asked him to pretend to go and come back in a year or two." Xi Xiang said indifferently.
Bo Xueer thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. Brother Yuanchao's mother had told her more than once that Brother Yuanchao's going to the countryside was just a show, and they would transfer him back when the time was right.
"Xiangxiang, I will go to the countryside with you to find them. We must keep a good eye on them and never let other women take them away." Bo Xueer thought about it and agreed with Xi Xiang's suggestion.
The two of them acted separately and persuaded their families to agree to let them go to the countryside.
Bo Xue'er easily convinced her father, who had been planning to rely on his daughter to climb the Zhou family tree. Since his daughter was willing to accompany Zhou Yuanchao through hardships, he was naturally happy to see it happen.
Things were not so smooth for Xi Xiang. The Xi family members did not agree with her going to the countryside for Xu Weiguo.
Xi Xiang was willing to risk everything for Xu Weiguo and threatened her family by going on a hunger strike.
She locked herself in her room and refused to open the door no matter who tried to persuade her. Three days later, seeing that his granddaughter was determined to find Xu Weiguo, Mr. Xi had no choice but to agree.
"Grandpa, I know that you love me the most in the family." After hearing that her grandfather agreed to let her go to the countryside, Xi Xiang opened the door, threw herself into her grandfather's arms and started to act coquettishly.
"Xiangxiang, you chose this path yourself. Grandpa hopes you won't regret it in the future." Grandpa Xi patted his granddaughter on the back and said helplessly.
If Grandpa Xi had known that Xi Xiang's visit to Xu Weiguo would bring disaster upon the family, he would never have agreed to his granddaughter's request.
After Bo Xueer decided to go to the countryside, she went to Zhou's house and told Zhou's mother that she decided to go to the countryside because of Zhou Yuanchao.
"Xue'er, you are such a good child. With your heart for aiding North Korea, your aunt really doesn't know what to say." Mother Zhou held her hand, quite moved.
Bo Xueer looked at Zhou's mother and knew that her goal had been achieved, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
When Zhou's father came back in the evening, she specially praised Bo Xueer, saying that this is the kind of wife he should marry, who can stay with his son and never leave him.
"Okay, as soon as you came back you started praising the girl from the Bo family in front of me. Is she really that good? I don't think so." Father Zhou interrupted his wife and retorted.
"What do you mean? You and your son don't care about my son, but others care about him and they are wrong." Zhou's mother said dissatisfiedly.
At the beginning, the country required that every family must send one child to the countryside. In order to prevent their own children from going to the countryside, those in the army began to desperately cram people into the army.
In order to curb this unhealthy trend, my father-in-law asked his son, his only grandson, to sign up to go to the countryside as an educated youth. When others saw that even the commander's only grandson was going to the countryside, who would dare to send people to the army?
The father-in-law was praised by his superiors for this matter, but when Zhou's mother thought of her son, she couldn't help feeling sad.
Seeing his wife like this, Zhou's father didn't know how to comfort her. He and his father had indeed acted inappropriately in sending their son to the countryside, not considering his wife's feelings.
Having connections in the court made things easier, and Xi Xiang and Bo Xue'er's trip to the countryside was quickly arranged. In just a few days, they could leave for the Red Flag Brigade.
On the Red Flag Brigade side, Qian Qian didn't know that he had gotten into trouble, and was still hanging out with Xu Weiguo every day.
