Before Wang Zhengguo could respond, Feng Qingxue sent their guest away without politeness, "Sorry, our family needs rest. Whether you go back or not has nothing to do with us. Please do not disturb our rest."
Compared to Wang Fengmei, Feng Qingxue’s heart certainly leaned more towards Wang Zhengguo.
When Wang Zhengguo drove out Wang Fengmei and her daughter, she had no other option but to support him. After all, they were in her house and she had every right to expel unwelcome guests who invited themselves in.
"Qingxue, I have something to say to you!" Wang Fengmei decisively opened her mouth, plainly and harshly.
Wang Zhengguo reacted intensely, rushing up, pulling her towards the door, and declaring condescendingly: "When a daughter is married off, it’s like water being poured away – once it’s gone, it cannot be retrieved – that was what you said yourself! Since it’s poured away, then it’s irretrievable! Why is your ’poured away water’ dripping over to my niece’s house? I’m worried it will dirty her floor! Do you leave on your own, or should I have someone throw you out? Or, should I go into town tomorrow and ask Zhao Yide face to face, whether our family owes him anything? If we can’t get a clear answer from his mouth, I’ll talk to his colleagues!"
He was extremely tall, and Wang Fengmei was a bit short, causing Wang Zhengguo to appear even more domineering, while Wang Fengmei seemed weak.
"No need for you to send us! No need for you to force us out! You all will regret this!" Having no other choice, Wang Fengmei hurriedly left these harsh words before angrily pulling Zhao Mingfang away and leaving, puzzling Feng Qingxue and everyone in the house.
After a long while, Feng Qingxue finally asked, confused: "What did they come for?"
Lu Tianjun shook his head indicating he didn’t know. He was preparing dinner when the mother and daughter came straight to the front door and rudely asked if Feng Qingxue was home. Wang Zhengguo happened to see this and decided to intervene. They ended up waking Feng Qingxue.
Wang Fengqiao irritably said: "What for? To find you! Who told you to save the Mayor’s parents! I don’t know which big mouth let it slip, but word spread quickly and reached their ears. So now, they see you as family. They specifically came to see you. As for why, I arrived late so I didn’t catch that part, you should ask your uncle."
Feng Qingxue looked at Wang Zhengguo, "Uncle?"
"I’m guessing she wanted to get closer to you and then use your connection to the Mayor to get Zhao Yide elected. I heard recently there’s an election for a position in city government, but I don’t know the specifics." Wang Zhengguo waved it off, "Wang Fengmei’s kind are always out for personal gain, but she’s not clever enough. She doesn’t differentiate between right or wrong, ignored her mother’s advice and married a widow. Her daughter is similarly lacking. Besides, Zhao Yide holds a position in city government, claiming to be upright and honest, and highly values his reputation. The last thing he wants is for it to be tarnished. So from now on, don’t be polite to Wang Fengmei. It’s enough if you can grab hold of their weak points."
Miao Fengqin added, "You remember when your grandparents passed away, your uncle tried to pay respects, but she had the audacity to leave him at the door."
This is the true reason Wang Zhengguo despises Wang Fengmei so deeply.
Although Wang Zhengjun is not much better, being selfish and cold-hearted, at least when their parents died, he came back diligently, weeping and mourning. Just for this, he is better than Wang Fengmei by a long shot.
