Chapter 811: Chapter 811: Jin Family’s Hope for Diddy 3

Ouyang Zijin continued to cover Xibao’s mouth and said to Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, "What do you think Jiu Hong will do?"

Shaking their heads, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue had no way of knowing Jiu Hong’s thoughts as they were not Jiu Hong, and moreover, how Jiu Hong would handle the situation was not important; what mattered was the future of the sisters Jiu Pendi and Jiu Pandi.

Compared to Zhu Rong and Li Shuitian, Jiu Hong’s character could be said to be vastly inferior.

"I remember that a long time ago the military had already spoken to Jiu Hong, advising him to properly persuade Lu Pendi not to value sons over daughters and not to mistreat Jiu Pendi. But Lu Pendi not only did not change her ways, she even intensified her actions and made up rumors about us behind our backs; this shows that Jiu Hong did nothing," Feng Qingxue scoffed coldly, "Maybe, everything Lu Pendi did was condoned by him."

If only Jiu Hong had said he loved his daughters and didn’t care whether the child was a boy or a girl, Lu Pendi wouldn’t have been so blatantly gender-biased, as she would have considered her husband’s feelings.

Moreover, Feng Qingxue had always known Jiu Hong to be unfaithful; previously he had been infatuated with Bai Xue, and now it was unclear what he was contemplating.

Thoughtful, Ouyang Zijin said, "I do know that Jiu Hong has always wanted to replace Li Shuitian and assume his position. Cao Hongzhu did all these things, becoming the scorn of everyone behind their backs. He has been busy behind the scenes, attempting to convince the political department’s officials to remove Li Shuitian from his post and elect himself in place, using the fear of being reported by Cao Hongzhu as his claim. The result was that nobody paid any attention to him."

Li Shuitian’s character and abilities were impeccable, and many people felt sorry for him because he once suffered the loss of his child. Even though his situation in the military was somewhat awkward, everyone refrained from making things difficult for him at work, unlike Jiu Hong who paid lip service only.

Everyone knew that Jiu Hong usually had a good relationship with Li Shuitian, yet behind his back, he schemed against Li Shuitian.

Perhaps the rumors that Lu Pendi spread in front of Cao Hongzhu all were instigated by Jiu Hong.

Hearing such claims, Jiu Hong was furious as he had done nothing of the sort, yet because of his conduct, he was unable to defend himself. He could only seek out Li Shuitian to clear his name after Cui Shaoyuan and the others left, taking advantage of his days off when he was not on duty.

Thus, Zheng Xuefeng’s man found Jiu Hong at Li Shuitian’s home.

Li Shuitian immediately ushered Jiu Hong out the door with utmost courtesy. He was not concerned with Jiu Hong’s family affairs, but with many military families enjoying gossip, Feng Qingxue quickly learned about the arrangements for the Jiu sisters.

Since Jiu Hong couldn’t control Lu Pendi’s behavior, and the military feared that Lu Pendi might do something insane in her postpartum period, possibly drowning her newborn daughter in violation of the law, they decided, with Jiu Hong’s consent and on Guo Xiuying’s suggestion, to place the Jiu sisters with a kindly military family.

This family member was Tian Ling, whose own child had died early, leaving her without anyone to care for, so she was willing to look after the Jiu sisters, particularly appreciating the well-behaved, obedient, and pitiable Jiu Pendi and her protective feelings towards her sister.

Jiu Hong was required to pay for the living expenses and provisions for Jiu Pendi and Jiu Pandi every month and also give Tian Ling ten yuan for nanny fees.

The name Jiu Pandi was chosen by Jiu Hong for his younger daughter, claiming he had named her following Jiu Pendi’s name so that everyone would immediately know they were sisters. But anyone with clear eyes could see that he and Lu Pendi were of the same ilk; no wonder Lu Pendi was so set on having a son.
