Trying to comfort but ended up being teased, Su Hongying was helpless. No way around it, despite having four unruly boys, she still dreams of having a sweet, soft little girl, what can she do? If this were heard by families longing for boys who have only had daughters, they might explode, but in truth, taking after her mother’s fertile disposition that favors boys over girls, she has, countless times, tried to coax Xinzhi and Xinyue from her sister-in-law’s family to come to her house as daughters! No, being childless was, for a long time, a wound in Liu Shouren’s heart, a huge nightmare. Because they came by hard, the children have always been his darlings. To him, having boys and girls together to form a harmonious family is great, and even better if another boy comes along, bringing more blessings. As long as they belong to him and Yinghong, both boys and girls are treasures. And in this year when bad news kept coming, unexpectedly came the joy of having a newborn son. Liu Shouren was considering using the child’s full month as a reason to host a gathering, to ease the villagers’ long-standing doldrums. But before he could officially plan it, on September 9, the news came that the great leader had passed away, a piece of news that sent the nation into mourning. The whole team at Liujiacun production brigade stopped work for three days, wearing white flowers on their chests and black cloth on their sleeves. They held a memorial meeting, the whole village mourned deeply, mourning the great leader. In October of the same year, the four-member group was detained, and the decade-long movement announced its end. The news triggered national celebration. But while everyone was rejoicing, the Bai family was enveloped in gloom. Bai Yuanzhi, Mr. Bai, and the eldest son Bai Tao were isolated for investigation, while the second son had always lived a decadent lifestyle. With the mansion collapsing, the only one the Bai family could rely on, who seemed dependable, was the son-in-law, Dai Weiguo. Mrs. Bai felt that her husband had generously supported the son-in-law, otherwise how would a country-born lad jump to such a high position. Humph, in these days, many talented and capable individuals are pressed down merely by luck and birth. Otherwise, if Dai Weiguo had always been talented and capable, why did fortune favor him only after marrying her daughter? Feeling entitled and elder, bearing a heavy favor for the other party, Mrs. Bai naturally displayed her superior attitude, commanding Dai Weiguo to give his all, even if it means sacrificing himself to save her old husband and brother-in-law. Dai Weiguo agreed readily on the surface, but inside he grumbled: Mother-in-law played a fine game of sacrificing a pawn to protect the king, but did you consider the feelings of the pawn? Climbing step by step from a small soldier wasn’t easy, why should he sacrifice his future and life for the old father-in-law and brother-in-law, who’s always bossing around? Seeing the Bai family as a doomed ship, even a deity couldn’t salvage it. Isn’t it better to hand over all remaining strength to him as the son-in-law, and carve out a splendid path once more? After all, he had no sons, couldn’t possibly have a son. So why not have him temporarily take control of the Bai family, consolidate the remaining power of the father-in-law and brother-in-law. Train the kids of the two brother-in-laws well, and in the future hand over a better, more glorious Bai family to them, what’s wrong with that? Feeling increasingly confident in his thoughts, Dai Weiguo, without any psychological burden, turned around and sold out his father-in-law and brother-in-law, shutting down their hopes of making a comeback, even though it was originally just early retirement, demotion handling. "Hey, using shamelessness as a reason, this kid really disgusts me!" Rapidly browsing the materials in hand, Wu Liguo’s eyes widened. After rubbing his arm against the goosebumps brought out by disgust, he decisively thwarted Dai Weiguo’s plan to take over Bai family’s remaining power. Oh, no, it should be said it’s worse than fetching water with a basket. After all, the latter is merely busy with nothing achieved, just a waste of effort and mental energy. Dai Weiguo, however, overexerted himself, managing to get his hand pierced by bamboo, spilling a good amount of blood. The hard-won rank fell down again, having to move from key departments to retiree-like positions. Truly no hope of recovery series, Dai Weiguo was almost crying in despair. What made him more desperate: Somehow word got out, letting the Bai family mother and children know he played a part in Bai Zhiyuan and his son’s harsh sentence. Knowing that the family, though superficially harmonious yet actually divided, full of intrigue between father and sons, spouses. But one thing is recognized by all family members: Bai Zhiyuan as the helmsman is the pillar of the Bai family, the fundamental basis enabling their family to be better than others, ascending smoothly, living freely under Beijing’s roots. Now, Dai Weiguo by pushing it further, directly crush their pillar, turning them from people praised and envied everywhere to criminals’ family scolded and spat upon. This is simply the vendetta of dragging them from heaven to hell! "Bastard rising up leveraging our Bai family’s connections, not thinking of repaying but biting the master’s hand. Dai, you are simply inferior to pigs and dogs!" Once a cadre’s wife, stripped of elegance, growled like a mad woman, pounced over, raising her hand to hit Dai Weiguo’s face. It’s lucky that Dai Weiguo was military-born, his reaction and speed were top-notch. Otherwise, if the scratches went down, he would be at risk of disfigurement. Fury surged inside, wanting to kick this mad woman far away. But at the height of controversy, in front of a crowd of spectators. Even though his anger was like a volcano ready to erupt, he had to suppress it bitterly. While dodging as much as possible, he tried to maintain righteousness: "I am sorry about Dad and Brother’s situation, but as a state cadre, national interest always comes before family interest in my heart..." "Bah! Dai, if you think wearing this solemn and awe-inspiring outfit can cover the stink of scum emanating from your core, think again! Speaking of state interest, family interest, you sound better than you sing! Actually, tut-tut... a face full of hypocritical dignity, a belly full of malevolent tricks, this phrase is designed specifically for you!" Bai Xuan spat thickly on Dai Weiguo’s face and said those scornful words. Having come to handle affairs, witnessing the scene by chance, Wu Liguo couldn’t help but laugh: Who said this second son of the Bai family only swagger under his father’s shadow, accomplishing neither literarily nor militarily, being good-for-nothing? In his eyes, this thick spit was quite skillful, the description for Dai Weiguo exceedingly precise and apt!
