At the Pei Family,
It was bustling with activity, filled with laughter and cheer, along with fine wines and delicious dishes.
In contrast, the Zheng Family was cold and desolate.
After Father Zheng and Mother Zheng learned that Zheng Tongwei had given money to Shen Nanchu, they strongly disagreed.
The two even used the grace of raising him as a threat.
"Since we haven't divided the family yet and I'm still the head of the family, this money can't be given away. Hand it all over to me for safekeeping."
"Don't forget, it's because of who that our family ended up in this lousy place?"
"That's right. As the culprit, you have to atone for your sins."
Atone for sins?
Zheng Tongwei looked at Father Zheng, Mother Zheng, and Zheng Qianqian. He wondered why, even though they were all family, there was such a big difference between his family and others.
When he was prosperous, didn't they enjoy the good life with him?
Now, just because he had made a small mistake and was sent down to the countryside, they treated him like this?
Sure enough, not being their biological child made all the difference.
Zheng Tongwei looked at Father Zheng, Mother Zheng, and Zheng Qianqian, his eyes filled with disappointment.
"You want this money?"
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Zheng Tongwei's eyes.
"Sure, no problem."
"I can even give you more."
Hearing this, a glint of greed flashed across the faces of Father Zheng and Mother Zheng.
"Just do me a favor."
A glint of light flashed in Zheng Tongwei's eyes.
Father Zheng and Mother Zheng didn't hesitate at all.
Do a small favor and get money? Who wouldn't want to?
"What kind of favor? Just tell us."
"Just about the price..."
A look of disgust flashed in Zheng Tongwei's eyes. He took out a dozen big unity notes from his pocket and threw them directly in front of Father Zheng and Mother Zheng.
Father Zheng and Mother Zheng were overjoyed.
"You'll accompany me to act out a good show tomorrow."
"What kind of show?"
A mischievous smile curled up on Zheng Tongwei's lips.
"A show of kicking me out of the family."
Hearing this, Father Zheng and Mother Zheng hesitated.
If they really kicked Zheng Tongwei out of the family, wouldn't they lose the chance to take advantage of this guy in the future?
If so, why did they accompany Zheng Tongwei to the countryside?
"Son, your parents have raised you so big and loved you for so many years. How can this be done?"
"That's right. How can we kick you out of the family?"
"You'll always be our good son, dear."
Father Zheng and Mother Zheng put on a show of being kind and loving parents, looking shameless.
The disgust in Zheng Tongwei's eyes was so intense that it was almost overflowing.
"Don't worry. It's just an act."
"I'm still your obedient son."
Hearing this, Father Zheng and Mother Zheng finally felt relieved.
"Okay, then we'll cooperate with you in the play tomorrow."
Zheng Tongwei nodded.
He had learned from the villagers of Wang Family Village that both the Pei Family and Shen Nanchu were soft - hearted people.
To gain their trust, he had to integrate with them and become as miserable as they were.
Zheng Tongwei finally understood why the leader had sent him down.
Because only in the same situation, facing the same difficulties, could the revolutionary friendship formed be deep and firm enough.
Only in this way could he, Zheng Tongwei, gain the trust of the Pei Family.
Only then could he have the opportunity to penetrate the core of the Pei Family.
After these several attempts, Zheng Tongwei was confident that he could break into the Pei Family's circle at one go.
Pei Family, wait, here he comes.
Shen Nanchu, who was feasting heartily, had no idea that someone had already set their sights on her.
The dishes cooked by Yu Lanhua were really delicious.
That night, Shen Nanchu had a great time eating.
At the dinner table, Father Pei kept pulling Wang Jianguo and his son Wang Weimin to drink.
Wang Weimin had saved Pei Yunxi, and the Pei Family was very grateful to him.
Wang Jianguo had such a good son as Wang Weimin, and the Pei Family was very grateful to him too.
After they were full, Yu Lanhua started whispering to Shen Nanchu.
"Chu girl, does Yun girl want to be a teacher at the village primary school?"
"Auntie, you went to the town this morning. You even know this. You're really amazing, auntie!"
Shen Nanchu looked very impressed.
"Anyway, Yun girl is more than qualified to teach those kids in the village."
Yu Lanhua had good judgment.
"In my opinion, there's no need to consider this so - called competition. Just let Yun girl go right away."
"We're so familiar with Yun girl. We know her well. If we don't trust Yun girl, can't we trust you, Chu girl?"
Yu Lanhua glared at her husband, Wang Jianguo.
"I say, you and Wang Chaoying are so rigid. You do things too inflexibly."
"This time, I agree with Mom."
Wang Weimin put down his wine glass, and his eyes happened to meet Pei Yunxi's.
Their eyes met, and Wang Weimin felt embarrassed and turned his face away.
Wang Jianguo was silent for a moment.
"This is to ensure fairness and justice."
"If I had known those people were so unreliable earlier, I would have just found someone myself."
"Alas, it's too late to say anything now. The notice for the competition has been issued. Even if I want to change my mind, it's too late."
"Village head, you're wrong about this. If you want to change your mind, it's still not too late."
A sly look appeared on Shen Nanchu's delicate face.
"Chu girl, what do you mean?"
Wang Jianguo looked very confused.
"Third sister, tell him yourself."
Shen Nanchu had set the stage, and now it was up to Pei Yunxi to take over.
"Okay."
Pei Yunxi nodded at her sister - in - law and began to recommend herself.
"Uncle, I graduated from the well - known Wende High School in the capital. During my three years in high school, I was the class monitor, and my grades were among the top."
"I've been well - read since childhood. I may not know everything about astronomy and geography, but I can answer all the questions of the primary school kids in the village..."
Pei Yunxi talked non - stop, exuding a confident aura and looking extremely charming.
Wang Weimin's eyes were involuntarily drawn to Pei Yunxi.
"Moreover, I'm willing to contribute to the construction of Wang Family Village.
"Wang Family Village is in a difficult time now. I'm willing to help the village voluntarily, without taking a single cent of salary or work points.
"I only hope that the future of Wang Family Village will be brighter and the children's tomorrow will be more splendid."
"Good, well - said."
Wang Weimin couldn't help but stand up and clap his hands.
"Dad, such a kind - hearted, selfless comrade is really hard to find even with a lantern."
"What are you still hesitating about?"
Wang Jianguo looked at his son with a very special look in his eyes.
To be honest, Pei Yunxi's words really hit the nail on the head.
Good teachers were hard to find.
Good teachers who didn't ask for money were even harder to find.
Wang Jianguo knew about Shen Nanchu's ability.
As Shen Nanchu's younger sister - in - law, how could Pei Yunxi be bad?
However, Pei Yunxi's words sounded so familiar.
