"Wait, wait... let me think about it, let me think about it." Mrs. Zhai sat in another chair, frowning and trying to recall every word Mrs. Duan said to herself at the banquet last night.
She remembered all the words, but there was only one sentence that made her confused and didn't understand it at the time.
Looking away from the newspaper, Mrs. Zhai had an epiphany.
"Bingye, if I say that your promotion this time is because of your cousin's stepdaughter, what do you think?"
Zhai Bingye was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "Nepotism? Is it possible? But..." He paused slightly. His promotion was indeed beyond everyone's surprise. His political achievements in the past few years were basically taken away by those above him.
After the person above him was pulled down, he finally got over it.
However, everyone thought, including himself, that even if someone above him pulled him down, he would have to wait a few more years before he could come up. As a result, he was transferred to the Xuanzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau deputy bureau with a transfer.
Zhai Bingye was an honest official and did everything he did, but in the officialdom, who doesn't have a quick mind and a flexible political acumen?
Although he thought that it was unlikely that he would be involved in "nepotism", it was too far away, and it was impossible to be involved in any way, but looking at his wife's expression, Zhai Bingye immediately thought of what Mrs. Duan said last night.
"What did Mrs. Duan say last night?"
Mrs. Zhai herself was a little surprised and said: "I just said that her niece is also from Xuanzhou City, so she has time to get together with her family."
Speech in official circles has always been vague, and people need to guess a few times to understand the deeper meaning of a sentence. At that time, Mrs. Zhai really only thought it was a polite speech, thinking that she was talking about her family and Duan Ting's gathering together.
After all, Duan Ting is his boss.
Now, it seems that it was a gathering between her family and Duan Ting's family, which must mean her cousin's house.
Zhai Bingye was shocked, and after a while he said: "...It seems that I am really going to take advantage of my cousin. My cousin is having a difficult time having children. I advised my adopted daughter to have a great future and raise her as my own daughter. It will be the same when she is old.
She has something to rely on. So, my cousin really has a good relationship with her stepdaughter."
"Look what you said, my cousin is always kind-hearted. When you were in trouble, she didn't walk dozens of kilometers to give you food."
Mrs. Zhai had a very good impression of Liu Guixiu. Even though her husband later became an official, she did not ask for repayment. Instead, because her relationship with her husband's family was too tense, she secretly sent a letter to prevent the two families from interacting with each other, so as to avoid being harassed by her ungrateful husband's family.
Wrap around.
In the end, they got divorced, and she even wanted to come forward but was stopped by her cousin, fearing that she would miss Bingye's future.
"In this case, it's no wonder that when I called my cousin's husband two days ago, he said that it was not convenient for my cousin to answer the phone. It turned out that he was put into trouble by the Shen family's envoy." Zhai Bingye's eyebrows furrowed into a deep furrow.
He sighed heavily, patted the back of his wife's hand, and said, "I went to my cousin's house tonight to see if something happened to her. I didn't know anything about it. I feel guilty."
Mrs. Zhai naturally had no objection and said quickly: "Okay, I'm going to buy some vegetables now and bring them over in the evening."
Liu Guixiu knew that she had not brought Gu Chen down, so she started to talk more as soon as she let go. She asked Gu Dahuai to go to the vegetable market on her bicycle to buy vegetables. She had to give her daughter a good supplement in these two days.
Because of her affairs, my daughter was so tired that her eyes were black.
