Rebirth: 1977

At mealtime, Sister-in-law Xiuzhen and Accountant Pan Shougen's wife just ate simply in the kitchen.

There were a lot of dishes prepared, but they didn't feel wronged.

"Sister Xiuzhen, how did Xiaoshui have such good fortune to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital? And she's so beautiful?

Thinking back to the time when the Feng family's live-in son-in-law was also rejected, I really can't understand it.

Do you think he used some shameful means to trick the girl into his hand? "

Because Pan Shougen's wife's husband was the team leader of the production team, their family always had a much better life than other families.

Things like starvation will definitely not happen.

Of course, on the surface it doesn’t look much better than others.

She couldn't say how much ill will she had towards Ye Tianshui, but because of the bicycle incident, Ye Tianshui clearly returned the old bicycle to their family and gave them a bicycle voucher and money to buy a new one.

Anyone who understands knows that their family has earned a good deal on a well-maintained, half-new bicycle that can still be used.

That coupon and money was earned.

But she just felt unhappy. Even though Ye Tianshui gave her family fish and wild ducks, she still felt that her man had helped Ye Tianshui when he was in the most difficult time, and he was indebted to her. Now that he has become rich, he should repay her, right?

Isn't it said that "all good things should be returned with gratitude"? But in her heart, she felt that if she didn't take advantage, she would be at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, Pan Shougen was a clear-headed man. He was aware of the close relationship between Tang Qizheng and Ye Tianshui.

Although he couldn't figure it out, when did Director Tang and Ye Tianshui become so close?

It was just that ever since Ye Tianshui broke off the engagement with the Feng family that year, he always protected that young man intentionally or unintentionally whenever something happened.

Until now, Ye Tianshui seemed to be repaying a favor. Tang Qizheng was not a man who could easily reveal what he could and could not say. Even if he had drunk a few more sips of wine, he would not say anything nonsense.

But whenever he talked about his son Tang Chusheng's rapid promotion in the army, his words and actions would reveal some information in addition to his happiness.

Some people pieced the facts together and found that Tang Chusheng's promotion was actually related to Ye Tianshui.

The reason why Pan Shougen was valued by Tang Qizhen was that he clearly distinguished between public and private affairs, and he was not easily influenced by others. When Tang Qizhen was persuaded by someone, he would just let it go in one ear and out the other.

The effect is not very good, but you won't be led by the nose.

But his wife was just a rural woman, how could she understand all those twists and turns? She wanted to vent her envy and jealousy when she found an opportunity.

Aunt Xiuzhen glanced at her and kindly advised her, "Don't spread gossip about Xiaoshui.

We who have eyes can see that the young couple looks very well matched when standing together, and Xiaoshui and her child are very good. Don't you think about how many young people in our county can get into college?

What kind of person is the Feng family? They must be blind, otherwise how could such a prosperous family be so bankrupt now?

Now that Xiaoshui has such a good marriage, don’t mention the Feng family’s daughter again.

It's because their family is unlucky and it's all their own fault.

Besides, I heard that Xiaoshui was originally from an official family in the capital. I don’t know which black-hearted bastard made him an orphan and came to our Panjiawan.”

Aunt Xiuzhen actually knew more of the inside story, but Pan Shifeng had told his parents not to mention Xiaoshui's background in the village unless he was willing to speak out publicly.

Now Ye Tianshui was seen coming to Panjiawan with a entourage, driving two shiny cars and stopping at the entrance of the village.

The beautiful wife, with her three children, and Xiaoshui's own brother and sister came together. They all looked very noble and looked like they were raised in a wealthy family.

Aunt Xiuzhen thought that Xiaoshui might be willing to disclose his background, so she revealed a little to warn Pan Shougen's wife.

That woman's mouth can be quite hurtful sometimes, but luckily her man can control her.

Accountant Pan's wife relied on the fact that her husband worked as an accountant in the brigade and that she herself had attended junior high school, and she called herself an "intellectual" and was somewhat aloof in the village.

The person who has his eyes high and looks clear.

Therefore, he never joined the ranks of those who bullied Ye Tianshui. However, when he saw others bullying them, he would not offer a word to help.

I was used to it, so I sneered and pretended not to see it.

Today, we invited two of them to help with cooking. One of them really needed help, and the other one, their men were also invited.

"Aunt Xiuzhen, I just heard people outside say that among those people there are two young people, a man and a woman, who are the younger siblings of Xiaoshui's biological parents. Is that true?

Also, those who follow Xiaoshui all look like leaders, but they are all very respectful to Xiaoshui. Could it be that Xiaoshui is also an important leading cadre now?

This is impossible? He has only been in college for a few years.

Unless his biological parents are really high-ranking officials, and those people are his parents' subordinates, is Xiaoshui using them to show off in front of us?

Maybe he was admitted to university because he had found his biological parents and they used some connections to get him into university.

He just hid it from the people in our village and said that he passed the exam on his own."

Accountant Pan's wife glanced outside, leaned close to Aunt Xiuzhen's ear, smacking a piece of braised pork in her mouth, but her voice was not lowered much.

Saliva spurted out along with the rice particles and gravy.

People who have a little knowledge are different. They think more and what they say seems to be true.

Aunt Xiuzhen quickly turned sideways and moved her hand holding the bowl of rice away from her.

She didn't know how to respond to Accountant Pan's speculation about his wife. She was not good at arguing with others.

I didn't know what to say or what not to say, so I could only eat the rice in the bowl without answering her.

This would inevitably make the two women feel that Aunt Xiuzhen knew the truth but was hiding it from them and was unwilling to tell the truth.

Wang Xiaoping happened to come in to add more food to the table. After hearing what they said, she realized what it meant to be "long hair but short knowledge". It is really terrible to be uneducated.

You dare to guess and imagine anything? She felt indignant for Ye Tianshui, but the two women in front of her were the "elders" in her village, so she couldn't argue with them.

She hid the hatred in her eyes.

When she was a child, they were the ones who watched her being beaten and abused and made sarcastic remarks.

Wang Xiaoping suppressed her anger and explained calmly:

"Uncle Xiaoshui is a high-ranking official himself, and he is very capable. He has never relied on his biological parents for help.

Who dares to cheat in such a serious matter as the college entrance examination? No matter how high the official is, he can't help. It's all the result of Uncle Xiaoshui's own hard work.

Besides, Uncle Xiaoshui found his biological parents only after he was admitted to university and went to Beijing.

My two aunts, you must not make blind guesses. If the word gets out from you, it will be bad if Grandpa Tang and Uncle Xiaoshui find out.

Grandma Xiuzhen and Uncle Shifeng asked you to come and help because Grandpa Tang and Uncle Xiaoshui trust you two uncles."
