Chapter 1542: Chapter 1542: The Heart of Comparison 4

Ding Min’s thoughts aligned with Feng Qingxue’s. She also nodded at Peng Aihong.

"Comrade Aihong, some things cannot be indulged. Indulging once is equivalent to indulging a hundred times in the future," Feng Qingxue said to her slowly. "Of course, the final decision depends on you and Captain Zhou. Ding Min and I are just casually offering suggestions."

Ding Min suddenly reacted and chimed in, "Exactly, exactly. It’s up to you and Old Zhou to decide; we outsiders shouldn’t interfere."

If Zhou Cheng broke up with his partner and brought chaos to the Zhou Family—or if Zhou Cheng couldn’t find a wife in the future—what would happen if Captain Zhou and Peng Aihong blamed them for offering advice?

Peng Aihong patted her arm and sighed, "I understand your good intentions. I’ll go back and ask Old Zhou for his thoughts."

"By the way, what’s the girl’s name?" Feng Qingxue asked.

Peng Aihong replied, "She’s a female worker at the textile factory, named Zheng Yuanyuan. Her family is from the Capital. She has a younger brother and sister who are quite progressive and actively supported the ’Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside’ policy, so neither of them are in the Capital."

As Feng Qingxue listened, she felt it sounded familiar. Suddenly, she said, "Do you know where her younger brother and sister were assigned?"

"I didn’t ask in detail, but I know her brother is in the Northeast," Peng Aihong responded.

Feng Qingxue clapped her hands and said, "I know who it is."

"Who?" Ding Min and Peng Aihong asked in unison.

"Zheng Yuanyuan’s sister is Zheng Huihui, and her brother is Zheng Taotao. One of them was assigned to Huaibei City, which is our hometown—a very clever and capable young woman. She was among the first cohort of worker-farmer-soldier students and returned to our hometown after graduation. I once heard Zheng Huihui say her brother was in a small village in the Northeast. The siblings are quite close. Comrade Aihong, what I want to tell you is that you should seriously reconsider your son’s marriage. Back then, Zheng Yuanyuan secretly reported her siblings’ names instead of her own, just to stay in the Capital."

If Captain Zhou and Peng Aihong still agreed for their son to marry Zheng Yuanyuan, then the problem would lie with them. A girl so greedy and selfish—any man who marries her is destined for misfortune, likely bringing chaos to the entire family.

Peng Aihong was shocked. "Sister-in-law, are you serious?"

Feng Qingxue countered, "Did Zheng Yuanyuan mention to you that her sister has close ties with the courtyard kids?" Zheng Huihui once said her sister often took pride in it, as if she herself was the one close to Wu Xiaoxiao and others.

Peng Aihong nodded and said, "She did mention it, several times. She said her sister has especially good relations with the daughter of the army commander."

"The commander she mentioned is Commander Wu, who has now been transferred to the Northwest Military Region," Feng Qingxue said. "That girl is Wu Xiaoxiao, who is quite close to my niece-in-law. She got married right before her father’s transfer. My niece-in-law took quite a few overseas voucher coupons from me to buy her wedding supplies, so I remember it clearly."

Peng Aihong’s face darkened. "Old Zhou is off today—I’ll go tell him!"

With that, she hurried home.

A malicious mind and corrupt character are even more intolerable than greed.

"Aihong’s oldest son really isn’t a good person. Anyone with a bit of ambition wouldn’t make life so difficult for their parents!" Ding Min sighed, glancing at her watch. "Oh, it’s almost noon. I’ve got to start cooking; the kids will be home from school soon."

Feng Qingxue went to pick up her daughter and Ye Yan and ran into Su Meixiang, who was picking up Shen Feng, and flaunting her new clothes to others.

Suddenly, Su Meixiang caught sight of the red wool coat Fubao was wearing, and her face changed drastically. Compared to that bright, striking red coat, her own woolen one looked dull and lackluster.
