1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

"Oh? Sister Zhu Lin, you're Little Squirrel's godmother?"

Liu Xiaoli, Ge Chunyan, and Huang Qiuyan, who came with Zhu Lin, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Zhu Lin knew this young, stylish, and beautiful woman and that they were quite familiar with her.

Then I was introduced to her. It turned out that she was Professor Cheng Xuemin's wife. Like Professor Cheng, she was a college student at Yenching University. She had no classes today and came along to visit.

The three of them were extremely surprised. They had all heard that Teacher Cheng Xuemin was already married and his wife was a very beautiful college student, and she was from Yenching University. This made Liu Xiaoli and the others still envious.

Especially Liu Xiaoli, because she was familiar with Zhu Lin and they talked about everything, she was tired of hearing Zhu Lin say how outstanding and beautiful Cheng Xuemin's wife was. Jealousy is a woman's nature, and Liu Xiaoli must have wanted to compare herself to Zhu Lin.

He wondered what kind of woman could have taken Xu Lingjun, the dream lover of countless young girls across the country, into her home so early.
Even Zhu Lin, who plays Li Xiuzhi, can praise her to the skies.

I have never met him, but I truly admire his reputation and really want to meet him and compare the two.

But now that she had finally met the legendary woman, Liu Xiaoli was instantly and utterly defeated by her stylish, beautiful, and generous demeanor.

She's even had a son with Professor Cheng Xuemin, so it seems like no one can shake her position.

No!

So Zhu Lin is their son's godmother? Why haven't I heard her mention this before?
Liu Xiaoli was instantly shocked and astonished. She realized that Sister Zhu Lin had really gone so far in interfering in someone else's family affairs.

“Yes! Xiaoli, you don’t know, my godson, Little Squirrel, is so attached to me…” Once Zhu Lin mentioned her godson, she started talking non-stop, her face beaming as if he were her own son, even closer than a biological child.

"Oh, no, no! Teacher Xuemin, I want to be your son's godmother too!" Liu Xiaoli was also envious and wanted to be the godmother of someone's son like Zhu Lin, so that she could be related to Teacher Xuemin.

In the future, she could visit her godson with Zhu Lin from time to time, which would also bring her closer to Teacher Xuemin. Perhaps he could even arrange a leading role for her in one of his good movies.

Yes!

An actress who doesn't want to be the leading lady is definitely not a qualified actress. Liu Xiaoli seemed to have opened up all at once, and the way she got close to Teacher Xuemin was by becoming his son's godmother!
It's a pity I can't give him a son directly, that would make us even closer...

bah bah bah!
Liu Xiaoli, what are you thinking? How could you think like that? You're so shameless and brazen!

"Great! I wish my stinky son had so many beautiful godmothers like you!" Feng Jiayou quickly became friends with them. She welcomed anyone who wanted to be her son's godmother and was very happy.

"How about this? When you get married and have a daughter, Xiaoli, you can just become our little squirrel's wife!" Cheng Xuemin said jokingly, almost as if he were possessed.

"Great! Teacher Xuemin, this is a good idea! It's settled then, it's an arranged marriage, my daughter will be your daughter-in-law, Teacher Xuemin!" Liu Xiaoli might have thought Cheng Xuemin was joking, but she didn't think so at all!
For a family with a background like Professor Cheng Xuemin's, getting into a husband's family will be incredibly difficult, so shouldn't they hurry up and take this seriously while people are joking?

The betrothal was arranged since childhood. In the future, Liu Xiaoli would not only be the godmother of Teacher Cheng Xuemin's son, but also his future mother-in-law and Teacher Xuemin's in-law. Just thinking about this relationship was exciting. She had found a good husband for her future daughter!
"Uh?! Well... you guys should talk!"

Cheng Xuemin never expected that a mere joke would lead him to marry the future "Fairy Liu"?

This actually works?!
Cheng Xuemin thought for a moment. Liu Xiaoli was going to start dating a teacher surnamed An from Jianghan University next year and get married the following year. But An Qian, also known as Liu Tianxian, was born in 1987, which is seven years away from now!
In other words, his own bratty son, Little Squirrel, is seven years older than the other person, so the age difference is actually not too big or too small.

Hey!
Cheng Xuemin thought about how all the power and connections he had worked so hard to build had ultimately benefited that little bastard Cheng Qingsong, and he felt depressed about it.

That's Liu Yifei, the dream fairy of all those born in the 80s and 90s. In the end, it really did benefit her own son. Just thinking about it makes me feel that it's too good for that kid. He got a good birth and got to enjoy the fruits of others' labor.

However, as the saying goes, "charity begins at home." If Liu Tianyi doesn't squander her future son, who else can she give it to?

Cheng Xuemin wouldn't be happy no matter who it was given to!

So, this casual remark, though unintentional, turned out to be a happy accident!

okay!

His wife, Feng Jiayou, has already been betrothed to Liu Tianxian's mother since childhood, and not just to Liu Tianxian. She accepts all comers, even though it's all just a joke. That's how women think. Don't let Cheng Xuemin be too envious!

She arranged marriages for her son with her own daughter-in-law, arranging at least two or three marriages between them. She really doesn't respect the newly enacted Marriage Law and isn't afraid of having her son charged with bigamy.

If Cheng Xuemin, as the father, had any indescribable relationship with one of these mothers-in-law, I wonder if his wife would spoil him just as much as she spoils her son!

"Xuemin, I heard they're changing the female lead?" When Cheng Xuemin and the others arrived downstairs, Li Lianjie and the others had also heard the news and came over one by one to ask why they were suddenly changing the female lead.

In particular, Huang Jianzhong, the director of Tai Chi, was working in his office when he heard the news and rushed over to verify it.

Because I didn't hear a single word when I left work yesterday, how come when I woke up, Cheng Xuemin even brought a new leading lady with him!

"Change the female lead? Who said that? Director Huang, who told you to do this?!" Cheng Xuemin was also baffled by the question. Why would they change the female lead? He himself didn't know what was going on!

"Huh? Didn't you say you wanted to change it? You even brought the new female lead today, and the whole factory is talking about it!" Huang Jianzhong asked again, puzzled.

"Yes, yes, Brother Cheng, we just heard it too. They said you're going to change the female lead and make the new one the most popular female star in the country. We all heard it!" Li Lianjie nodded in agreement.

"Ha! That's just a rumor. When did I ever say I was going to change the female lead? It's baseless. Don't spread rumors and make a fuss!"

As soon as Cheng Xuemin heard that she had been promoted to be the most popular female star, he knew what was going on!
He had indeed said something like that while pampering his woman, and Liu Xiaoqing, who happened to be passing by, overheard a few words and mistakenly thought she had heard some very shocking news, so she quickly spread the word.

So, it must be Liu Xiaoqing spreading nonsense!

Cheng Xuemin thought to himself, "No wonder Sister Zhu Lin and Liu Xiaoli all came looking for me earlier. So that's what happened!"
"Is this just baseless gossip? No wonder everything was fine all of a sudden, why did they replace Zhu Lin!" Huang Jianzhong nodded in realization, and the others nodded in agreement as well.

"Brother Cheng, who's the lady you brought today? They say she's as beautiful as an angel, so stylish!" Little Li, Li Lianjie, chimed in again. "Yeah, yeah! When we came out just now, we heard that you, Teacher Xuemin, brought a lady who looked like an angel into the factory. They all thought you were changing the lead actress and brought a new one!" The others chimed in with curiosity, asking as well.

"She is indeed the female lead, but she is my female lead all by herself!"

"Let me introduce you, my wife is Feng Jiayou!"

Cheng Xuemin pointed to the group of women and introduced Feng Jiayou, who was surrounded by women, to everyone.

"Wow, so that's my sister-in-law? This... she really does look like an angel, it's a shame she's not playing our leading lady!"

"Oh, so it's your sister-in-law!"

"She is indeed good-looking. No wonder you treat Sister Zhu Lin and Sister Xiao Li like dirt, Brother Cheng!"

"Little Li, you said Sister Zhu Lin and Sister Xiao Li are dung, tell Sister Xiao Li and the others later!"

"No, no, I was just using an analogy, I was just using an analogy, do you understand?!"

Cheng Xuemin smiled and interrupted their banter, saying, "I'm off today, so I promised to treat you to Peking duck!"

"But before we eat roast duck, please come with me to do something for me!"

"Especially Xiao Li, Xiao Ji, Xiao Hu, Chunyan, and Qiuyan, you guys must make sure to protect my wife and me well later!"

Cheng Xuemin selected several of their generals, especially Ji Chunhua and Hu Jianqiang, the two "villains." As long as the two of them stood in front, who the hell would dare to mess with them?

"Great! Brother Cheng, let alone one thing, even if you do ten or a hundred, I, Li Lianjie, will definitely go through fire and water to stay by your side!" Li Lianjie was the most enthusiastic, and immediately made a solemn vow upon hearing this.

However, he was also quite quick-witted and said, "But speaking of which, Brother Cheng, with your skills, do you really need us to protect you?"

Hu Jianqiang and Ji Chunhua agreed wholeheartedly; given Cheng Xuemin's skills, it was truly uncertain who would protect whom.

"Yes, yes! We might not need it normally, but we definitely need it today!" Cheng Xuemin nodded repeatedly, smiling as he said, "Because today, we're going to a bank, and the biggest bank in all of Yanjing!"

"Huh?! To the biggest bank in all of Yanjing?" Li Lianjie was stunned for a moment, and asked tremblingly, "Then can I ask Brother Cheng, what do you want us to do at the bank?"

"If so many of us go to the biggest bank, won't they think we're going to rob it?"

Robbing a bank?!

After Li Zi's guess, everyone else was speechless and then retorted to Li Lianjie, "Why are you speaking such obvious truths? Robbing a bank? Don't you have a brain? Robbing a bank is illegal and you'll be punished!"

"Exactly, exactly! They speak without thinking at all. If someone with malicious intent hears this and spreads it around, they could get us killed!"

Just as everyone was criticizing Li Lianjie for speaking without thinking, Cheng Xuemin nodded and surprisingly echoed, "Actually, what Little Li said is pretty much the same!"

Today, Cheng Xuemin brought his manuscript fee of 260,000 US dollars in foreign exchange, intending to cash it at the largest bank, the People's Bank of China. Cashing out such a huge sum of money is practically the same as robbing a bank, isn't it?
In this day and age, for poor people like Leonardo DiCaprio, it's practically like robbing a bank.

"Huh?! Xuemin, are you serious? Don't do anything reckless!" Coach Yu Hai was dumbfounded. It was one thing for Little Li to talk nonsense out of ignorance, but how could Cheng Xuemin actually believe it?

"That's me! I'll tell you! Brother Cheng brought so many of us to the bank, what else could we be doing if not robbing a bank?"

"Brother Cheng, should I bring a burlap sack to put the money in?"

Li Lianjie was initially attacked by everyone for making a joke, but when she heard Cheng Xuemin say that it was actually about robbing a bank, she suddenly felt that she was ordinary and became excited on the spot, speaking without thinking at all!
You even planned to bring a burlap sack to carry the money, huh!

"I brought it, I brought it! The burlap sack is already on the train!" Seeing that Li Lianjie was actually going to look for the burlap sack, Cheng Xuemin really didn't know what to say to her.

However, Cheng Xuemin did indeed bring the burlap sack in his car!
They really were there to collect money!
This left Yu Hai, Yu Chenghui, Huang Jianzhong, and the others speechless, unsure whether it was true or not!
When Cheng Xuemin actually took a burlap sack from his car and threw it to Li Lianjie, everyone was stunned. They were all wondering if he was serious.

"Take it!"

Seeing that Li Lianjie was also dumbfounded and dared not take the sack handed to him, Cheng Xuemin urged him, but this did not scare Li Lianjie into tears. He asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Cheng, are we really going to rob a bank?"

Clearly, this guy thought Cheng Xuemin was serious and chickened out on the spot!

Looking at their cowardly appearance, Cheng Xuemin thought that it was a bit too early to take out the sack. They should have waited until they were outside the bank before taking it out; that might have been more damn exciting.

"Jiayou, Teacher Xuemin must be joking, right?!"

Liu Xiaoli, Ge Chunyan, Huang Qiuyan, and the others here were also stimulated by what was happening here!

I wondered if Teacher Cheng Xuemin was really planning to take them to the bank to pull off a big heist today?
"We even brought burlap sacks, Xiaoli, do you think this is a joke?"

"We're not just preparing more dowry money for you, our future in-laws, are we?!"

Feng Jiayou followed Cheng Xuemin's lead and even joined in joking with Liu Xiaoli and the others, instantly scaring them pale!
