Rebirth in officialdom and rising to the top

Chapter 8 One is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer

The method has been thought out, but how to implement it specifically?

As a family of three, you look at me and I look at you, and it’s a bit hard to say. After all, this is an engagement breakup, not a return of goods...

In the end, it was Yang Caixia, a heroine among girls, who stepped forward:

"Since it was me who came up with the idea, leave it to me to call Zhang Juan to cancel the engagement. After all, it's easier for women to talk to each other!"

His own daughter Zhuge took action, and one person was more than capable of taking over the other two. Naturally, Chen Wangyang and his son had no objections, and both nodded their heads when they heard this.

Yang Caixia took out her mobile phone and found Zhang Juan's name in the address book. After taking a few deep breaths, she carefully pressed the call button...

On the other side, the Shan'an County Government Family Home.

The atmosphere in the home of Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee and County Magistrate Li Wenda, who was supposed to be joyful at this time, was rather deserted and stagnant.

Li Yaru was sitting at the dressing table in her room quietly putting on makeup, with an expression of indifference and alienation on her pretty face.

If it weren't for the traditional bright red wedding dress she was wearing, she would have felt more like she was about to attend a funeral!

Li Wenda and his wife Zhang Juan sat opposite each other at the dining table in the living room, eating breakfast in silence.

Not only did the couple's faces lack the excitement and joy they should have had when their daughter was about to get engaged, but on the contrary, they looked somewhat helpless and dissatisfied.

Li Wenda, 45 years old and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, sits upright and meticulous even when eating.

On the surface, he looks like a gentle, mature and modest gentleman.

However, his slightly aquiline nose and his eyes that flashed with heart-stopping light from time to time seemed to prove that he was not as simple as he seemed.

In fact, Li Wenda is really in a bad mood now.

Although he and Chen Wangyang's father, Chen Xianxian, appeared to be close comrades-in-arms, in fact, he had never looked down upon Chen Xianxian.

Why should an incompetent little policeman who had been in the officialdom for ten years and was still only a deputy section officer become in-laws with the man who was about to take charge and become the secretary of the county party committee?

With his back leaning against the big tree of the Zhang family, he is expected to be a big shot at the pinnacle of power in Qin Province in the future!

Li Wenda's only daughter is getting married, and I don't know how many second-generation rich people and children from rich families will happily rush to marry her!

Why do you get engaged in such a confused way to a poor boy who has just passed the civil service examination and has no financial background?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Li Wenda glanced several times at the banner hanging on the wall opposite, "Those who feel thunder in their hearts and faces as flat as a lake, can worship the general." Then he resisted the urge to throw his chopsticks, and finally just He snorted coldly.

This banner was handwritten by the old man of the Zhang family. It was like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, preventing him from showing any disobedience.

His wife Zhang Juan, who was sitting opposite, stopped using the chopsticks in her hands, looked at her husband coldly and said:

"Why are you humming? I told you a long time ago that you should stop dealing with your mud-legged comrades, but you didn't listen. Is that okay now? Did you bring our only precious daughter into it?"

Zhang Juan, who is the same age as Li Wenda, may have been taking good care of herself because of her background, and she looks only 34 years old.

If her thin lips and slightly narrow eyes didn't make her look a bit mean, she would be considered a mature and beautiful woman.

His wife's words made Li Wenda even more unhappy.

However, Li Wenda knew that his current status was entirely due to the support of his wife's family. How could you give him the courage to challenge his wife?

At that moment, he could only lower his head without saying a word and silently drank the porridge in the bowl.

If this scene fell in the eyes of county government staff, they would probably be stunned from ear to ear.

After all, Li Wenda has always appeared in front of them as a cold-faced county magistrate with strong skills. The contrast now is really a bit big...

Just when Zhang Juan, who was in the same depressed mood, wanted to say something more, Zhang Juan's mobile phone placed on the dining table rang.

Zhang Juan looked at the words "Yang Caixia" flashing on the screen of her mobile phone, and couldn't help but feel a little bored.

But thinking about the engagement ceremony that was about to take place later, Zhang Juan calmed down her mood, forced out a smile, and then answered the phone and said in an enthusiastic tone:

"Hello, mother-in-law?"

Li Wenda was too lazy to listen to the two women talking on the phone. He pushed the dishes and chopsticks away and stood up to leave, but his wife waved her hand to stop him.

Li Wenda looked at the uncontrollable ecstasy on his wife's face and frowned in confusion: What's wrong?

Zhang Juan winked at her husband and spoke on the phone in a tone that was half disbelief and half angry:

"My mother-in-law, are you kidding me? We have prepared everything here, but your family actually said that they want to cancel the engagement?!"

"No, you must give us a reasonable explanation, otherwise we will never finish this matter!"

"What? So that's it? That's not without discussion..."

"Mmmmmmm..."

"It's okay to break off the engagement, but our two families must have a unified voice and declare to the outside world that our family took the initiative to break off the engagement!"

"This is not negotiable, otherwise where would our Lao Li's face be? He is about to become the county party secretary!"

"Well, that's pretty much it. You don't have to worry about Yaru. I, the mother, can make the decision!"

"Okay, that's it. Let the two grown men, Lao Li and Lao Chen, take care of the specific matters!"

"There's no need to cancel the engagement banquet. Aren't all your relatives already here? You can take them to eat, lest they say that our two families are not grand!"

"Yeah, okay, then hang up!"

Seeing his wife hanging up the phone happily, even though Li Wenda was very deep in the city, some monks were confused at this time:

"What's going on? Is the marriage called off like this? Or did their family take the initiative?"

Zhang Juan was as refreshed as if she had drank a bottle of ice-cold soda in one gulp during the dog days of summer, and was so happy that she could no longer see her eyes:

"Hahaha, are you surprised? Surprised or not? I almost died of joy when I heard Yang Caixia talk about this! It can be said that their family Chen Wangyang is wise enough to know that he is not worthy of our family Yaru!"

Although this is a good thing that brings great joy, Li Wenda is not happy for some reason, and he is even a little unhappy in his heart:

Damn it, uncle, who gave your Chen family the courage to cancel the marriage of my daughter, Li Wenda?See how I deal with your family in the future!

I can take the initiative to cancel your marriage, but what qualifications do you have to cancel my daughter Li Wenda's marriage?

Although this kind of thinking is a bit double standard, it is naked human nature and there is no reason to explain it.

After being married for more than 20 years, Zhang Juan knew what he was going to do as soon as Li Wenda stuck his butt out, and she said sternly:

"Don't worry, Lao Li. Didn't you hear that they agreed to agree with us and claim that it was our family who took the initiative to terminate the engagement?"

"It's their family that's embarrassed. Our family's reputation has been saved. This is a great thing. Why are you so shameless?"

"In the future, not only can we not embarrass their family, but under appropriate circumstances we have to reach out and help them. Only in this way can we show that our family is affectionate and righteous, right?"

"Our old man likes people who are kind and righteous the most. Maybe he will look down upon you because of this!"
