After listening to what his two daughters-in-law said, Mr. Xi did not express his opinion. He knew very well what their concerns were.
"Dad, you can't ignore Xiangxiang. She is your only granddaughter." Xi's mother said anxiously.
She was really afraid that her father-in-law would no longer care about his daughter. Although she was usually strict with her daughter, she was her own flesh and blood after all. How could she not feel sorry for her?
"I didn't say I don't care. Why are you so anxious?" Mr. Xi said unhappily.
Mother Xi wanted to say something, but Father Xi stopped her and said, "Okay, Dad naturally has his own plans, so don't say anything more."
"Yes, Mom, Grandpa loves Xiangxiang the most, he will definitely not ignore her." Xi's eldest son hurried up to persuade his mother.
"I didn't say I would ignore Xiangxiang's affairs, but it is really inappropriate to transfer her back to Beijing now. Let her hold on for a while, and I will find a way to transfer her back in half a year." said Mr. Xi.
The second and third aunts of the Xi family looked at each other and felt that their father-in-law was too partial.
But Xi's mother didn't think so. She felt that her father-in-law was just getting rid of her casually.
"Dad, if you feel embarrassed, then I won't beg you. Xiangxiang is my daughter, and it's understandable that you don't take her seriously. If you are unwilling to help, then I will ask her family for help. I must have Xiangxiang come back now." Xi's mother said in a resolute tone.
When Mr. Xi heard what his eldest daughter-in-law said, his face changed immediately.
"Sister-in-law, you are so heartless to say that. Everyone in this room knows that Dad loves Xiangxiang the most." Aunt Xi said maliciously.
"That's right. My sister-in-law has to ask her parents for help for such a small matter. Isn't that a slap in my father's face?" Aunt Xi continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Just be quiet, Changming, quickly take your mother back to the room." Father Xi pulled his wife and asked his eldest son to take her back to the room.
"Mom, go back to your room first. Let's do what grandpa said about Xiangxiang's matter." Xi Changming pulled his mother out of the living room.
Old Master Xi knew his eldest daughter-in-law's temperament and knew that if he didn't do what she wanted, she would definitely go back to her parents' home to ask for help.
"Take good care of your wife recently and don't let her embarrass the Xi family in public." Old Master Xi said to his eldest son in a bad tone.
"I understand, Dad." Father Xi said hesitantly.
The people from the other two families felt relieved when they saw Xi's father's expression.
Over the years, the old man had reserved all the good things for the eldest wife, and the two families were just like adopted children. Even that little girl Xi Xiang didn't take them seriously, and they had had enough.
"I told you that you were picked up, but you didn't believe me." As soon as Aunt Xi returned to the room, she started complaining to her husband.
"Why are you saying this for no reason? Didn't Dad agree to transfer Xiangxiang back in the end?" Uncle Xi said unhappily.
"Hmph, just wait and see. I bet you that girl Xi Xiang will sooner or later bring disaster to the Xi family." Second Aunt Xi said confidently.
Uncle Xi was helpless listening to his wife's nagging. Now the prosperity of the Xi family depended entirely on the old man, the Minister of Education. What else could he do?
The next day, Xi's mother secretly returned to her parents' home, found her parents and brother, and told them about Xi Xiang's transfer back to Beijing.
"Don't worry, sister. The Xi family has no business having Xiangxiang's affairs, and I, as her uncle, have no say in them," said Xi's mother's elder brother Wang Guohao.
"Yes, the Xi family is afraid of causing trouble, but we are not. Xiangxiang is my sweetheart, how can she stay in the countryside for so long?" The old lady of the Wang family said with heartache.
"Okay, stop arguing. The concerns of my in-laws are justified. After all, Xiangxiang has just been in the countryside for a short time. It is too risky to transfer her back now." said the old man of the Wang family.
He and Xi Yang had the same concerns. After all, there were many people eyeing their position and many people who wanted to find something to hold against them. It would not hurt to keep a low profile at all times.
When Xi's mother heard this, she immediately became unhappy: "Dad, why are you the same as my father-in-law? Isn't it just about letting Xiangxiang be transferred back to Beijing early? You are not willing to do such a small thing."
Xi's mother kept crying and making a fuss at Wang's house. Finally, the old man of the Wang family had no choice but to agree to her request and promised to transfer Xi Xiang back as soon as possible.
Only then did Xi's mother happily leave the Wang family. Seeing her leave, the old man of the Wang family immediately called his in-laws and said that both families had to work together to solve this matter.
After Mr. Xi hung up the phone, he was so angry that he swept everything on the table to the floor.
His eldest daughter-in-law was such a complete fool. Could such a woman really become the mistress of the Xi family in the future? Xi Yang felt a splitting headache. For the first time, he wondered if he had been wrong to pamper Xi Xiang before.
No matter how angry he was, he still had to get things done. If the Wang family really had to transfer his granddaughter back to Beijing, it would be too embarrassing for him as the Minister of Education.
Two days later, the procedures for Xi Xiang's transfer back to Beijing were completed. Old Man Xi gave her a medical record of acute nephritis and asked her to return to Beijing for treatment.
Within two days, Zhou Yuanchao, Xu Weiguo and Bo Xueer received transfer orders, and they returned to the Red Flag Brigade to pack up their things.
Although they were extremely reluctant to return to the Red Flag Brigade, some personal belongings of the educated youth had to be taken away.
While everyone in the village was at work, they quickly packed up their things and went to the team leader to get a certificate.
"Here are the certificates for you four to return to the city. Take them." The captain handed them the certificates that he had prepared long ago.
These big Buddhas were finally leaving, and as the team leader, I could breathe a sigh of relief. Especially that Xi Xiang, who had only been in the Red Flag Team for more than half a month, had caused such a mess.
The four of them left the Red Flag Brigade with their return-to-city certificates. They only took a few sets of clothing with them, leaving the rest at the educated youth camp. As for their bicycles, they sold them cheaply to the deputy brigade leader to save them the trouble of mailing them back.
Zhou Yuanchao had wanted to go find Yun Yan and make another effort, but he was rejected before he even opened his mouth. He really couldn't understand why Yun Yan didn't like him.
On the train, Bo Xueer looked at the distraught Zhou Yuanchao and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
When Zhou Yuanchao went to find Yun Yan, she secretly followed him and heard Yun Yan reject him with her own ears. She finally believed that what Yun Yan said about not being interested in Zhou Yuanchao was true.
Xi Xiang was acting like a spoiled brat all the way, and Xu Weiguo coaxed her all the way.
"Okay, Xiangxiang, you've been muttering all the way. Aren't you annoying?" Xu Weiguo said helplessly.
"I'm not annoying. I tell you, when I return to Beijing, I will make Qian Qian's parents pay." She was furious when she thought of Qian Qian embarrassing herself with poisonous mushrooms. She even wanted to vomit when she thought about it now.
"Xi Xiang, that's enough. If it weren't for your willful behavior, you would have been retaliated against. You are not allowed to cause trouble for Qian Zhiqing's parents again in the future." Zhou Yuanchao scolded.
