When Xia Chuchu called to urge Ye Ming to come over quickly, her mother Zeng Yanhua came out of the kitchen with a straight face, picked up Xia Bicheng, pulled him into the bedroom, closed the door, and then lowered her voice and asked: "Old Xia, What kind of evil wind are you blowing today? Chu Chu is so crazy. Could it be that you are also infected? Why do you suddenly think of inviting that little bumpkin from Xinlang County to dinner? Didn’t you tell me many times that you are firmly opposed to Chu Chu and Chu Chu? Are you dating that little civil servant? What's going on now? He wants me to prepare food and wine. I don't have the patience to do so. If you want to entertain him politely, you can cook the food yourself. I'm going to arrive. Let’s go dance in the square below,”
It turns out that this Zeng Yanhua was born in an official family. His father was originally the regiment commander of Xia Bicheng when he was in the army. He later became the deputy army commander and is now retired. Because of the good family conditions, Zeng Yanhua has developed a pair of wealthy eyes since he was a child and looks down on the villagers. , look down on people from small places, and both of them are the same, they like to follow the crowd, and they both hope that their daughter will find a family with a higher official than their own, at least, find a billionaire...
Therefore, before this, Xia Bicheng and Zeng Yanhua had a very consistent stance on the relationship between Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu: they were firmly opposed to a love affair between Chu Chu and Ye Ming, and they were determined to promote the marriage between Chu Chu and Wang Xu.
Therefore, when Zeng Yanhua learned that Xia Bicheng was actually inviting Ye Ming to his home for dinner today and asked him to prepare more delicious dishes, he was so angry that he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine her husband was selling. , so she pulled him into the bedroom and started accusing him...
Xia Bicheng saw that Zeng Yanhua's face was very ugly, so he smiled mysteriously and said: "Yanhua, you must prepare this meal well today, and you must be polite to Ye Ming. You must not lose your temper or show off your face. Understand No more,”
"I don't understand, why should I go to all the trouble to entertain that little bumpkin? I wish I could drive him far away and prevent him from getting close to Chu Chu. It's better for you. Now you've even lured the wolf into the house. Can't you see that Chu Chu today Are you happy? If you politely entertain that little bumpkin two or three more times, Chuchu will definitely misunderstand and think that we have agreed to her marriage to that country bumpkin. When the time comes, you will separate them again. It’s even harder than climbing to the sky,”
Xia Bicheng knew very well that his wife disliked poverty and loved being rich, and liked to climb high branches. Seeing a "little country bumpkin" and a "country bumpkin" on her left, he glanced behind him like a reflex, then turned his head, shook his hand and whispered to her "Yanhua, when you see Ye Ming in the future, don't show any look of disdain or contempt. Let me tell you: Although he is a little bumpkin and a country bumpkin now, he will probably become a country bumpkin in a year or two. Today, Jiang Believe it or not, officials of all sizes in the provincial officialdom will rush to curry favor with him and please him."
Zeng Yanhua stared at Xia Bicheng with wide eyes, shook his head like a rattle, and said decisively: "I don't believe that he, a local tax bureau cadre in a small county town, no matter how talented and capable he is, he can still grow wings to fly in the past two years. Go to heaven, even if Secretary Li is willing to help him and transfer him to the provincial capital, the worst he can do is be a civil servant in a provincial government agency. Even if Secretary Li is his backer and his godfather, he will not be able to let everyone Officials from all over the province are here to flatter him. How did you come to this conclusion?
"What's more, it's not like you don't know that your old superior, Secretary Li, will never allow his relatives or people around him to use his authority to engage in malpractice for personal gain, let alone others to seek official positions with him. Even if Ye Ming recognizes him as his godfather, if he doesn't allow Ye Ming to take people to his house, what else can Ye Ming do? What else can others do to please him? I think you feel that you are gradually being attracted by you now. My old superior has been neglected, so I want to sacrifice my daughter's happiness and regain Secretary Li's trust by getting married to Ye Ming, right? If you have such thoughts and thoughts, then you should die as soon as possible. I am I won’t watch my Chu Chu jump into the fire pit,”
Zeng Yanhua's personality is similar to Xia Chuchu's. She is relatively straightforward and does not know how to turn around when speaking. However, Xia Chuchu does not have her snobbishness and dislike of the poor and loves the rich at all. She is more straightforward and straightforward than her...
Seeing that his wife spoke so harshly, Xia Bicheng frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Zeng Yanhua, what are you talking about? Why do you think I want to sacrifice my daughter's happiness to regain Secretary Li's trust? Let me tell you: I Inviting Ye Ming to dinner today is for Chu Chu's lifelong happiness. From today on, we must not only be good to Ye Ming, but also try our best to promote his marriage with Chu Chu.
"Furthermore, I have another idea that I want to share with you first: within this month, or within these few days, we must finalize the marriage between Chu Chu and Ye Ming. It is best for them to hold an engagement. Ceremony, this is what Secretary Lu Zhiyao of the Provincial Party Committee meant. I just went to Secretary Lu’s office. He talked with me for nearly forty minutes about the marriage between Chu Chu and Ye Ming. Think about it: a Provincial Party Committee Secretary , for our daughter’s marriage problem, she came to me specifically to do ideological work, and promised to personally act as a matchmaker for these two young people. What an honor and happiness it is. If we continue to push back, we will not be letting down Secretary Lu. Is that a good intention?"
Xia Bicheng didn't want to tell Zeng Yanhua the guess in his mind at this time, for fear that she would accidentally let out the news and tell others that Ye Ming was the illegitimate son of Secretary Lu, which would cause serious problems like this. This matter is the most important and fatal secret of Secretary Lu. Before Secretary Lu decides to recognize Ye Ming as his son, if anyone reveals this matter, it will be a taboo. If it is not done well, he will lose his official position. Therefore, although he identified Ye Ming as Secretary Lu's son, he did not dare to reveal it easily even to his wife.
When Zeng Yanhua heard that Xia Bicheng said that Chu Chu and Ye Ming would get engaged in the near future, she was so surprised that her eyes bulged and her cheeks turned red. Regardless of the fact that Xia Chuchu in the living room might be listening to their conversation, she couldn't help shouting loudly: "Xia Bicheng, don't even think about it. I gave birth to Chu Chu. Her marriage must have my consent. I will never agree to her marrying that little country bumpkin."
Xia Bicheng heard her shouting regardless, fearing that Chu Chu would hear it outside, he quickly went over and covered her mouth, then looked back at the bedroom door, and then whispered in her ear: "Yanhua , what are you excited about? There is a reason for me to do this. Let me tell you a big secret: Ye Ming is probably Secretary Lu’s biological son. When Chu Chu marries him, she is probably marrying into the family of a provincial party committee secretary as a daughter-in-law. ah,"
