Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 423 Seizing Power
Jiang Xinglan was furious. "Aunt Qiu, you don't do anything productive all day long. You just eat sunflower seeds and gossip about this family and that family. How come your mouth isn't rotten?"

Qiu Linghua spat out a mouthful of sunflower seed shells; if Jiang Xinglan hadn't stopped her, she would have spat them into the flour.

Jiang Xinglan stepped forward and pushed her, causing her to fall into the snow.

"You good-for-nothing! You're a worthless piece of trash who was kicked back after getting married, and you still dare to hit your old woman..."

Zhou Guizhi rushed over, grabbed her hair, and slammed her face into the snow. "You shameless old woman, you insulted my two daughters! I'll fight you to the death today!"

Qiu Linghua was dizzy from the impact and cried for help.

Jiang Xinglan stood there, unable to move for a long time.

She felt extremely uncomfortable.

After beating Qiu Linghua, Zhou Guizhi turned around and saw Jiang Xinglan with tears streaming down her face. She was startled. "Lan'er, don't listen to this heartless bastard's nonsense. Your mother and father are very happy that you are back. You are the apple of our eye. Your mother and father couldn't sleep at night because you suffered in the Guo family."

Jiang Xinglan burst into tears and threw herself into Zhou Guizhi's arms, crying, "I've embarrassed you all!"

"Silly!" Zhou Guizhi patted her back. "What's shameful about it? We're happier than anything if you and Yinzi are doing well. Look at you, it's not like we can't support you and your daughter. You don't eat our food or wear our clothes, so nobody can blame you."

Don't take it to heart, okay? Listen to me, if you keep overthinking things, your dad and I will be upset, and your grandparents won't be happy either!

Jiang Xinglan wiped her face and nodded.

Qiu Linghua got up from the ground. "If it weren't for the Shangjiang Brigade, how could you support yourself and your child?"

Before she could even brush the snow off herself, Jiang Xinglan rushed over and kicked her, sending her sliding away. "Mind your own business!"

Qiu Linghua got up and tried to run away, but Zhou Guizhi grabbed her and said, "Don't go. Come with me to the Dong family. I want to find out who is spreading rumors and ruining my daughter's reputation."

She had Jiang Xinglan grind the flour here, while she pulled Qiu Linghua along as they headed towards the Dong family's house. People who came to watch the spectacle followed one after another, and by the time they reached the Dong family's door, the entire threshing ground was surrounded.

As the year draws to a close, many educated youths are going home, so the Shangjiang Brigade has given them a holiday. With nothing else to do, it would be foolish not to watch the excitement.

The promised promotion was never mentioned again. When Dong Jincheng asked, he learned that his father had caused trouble, undermined socialism, and had been sent to prison. At that moment, Dong Jincheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He felt that everyone in the world despised him, and everyone in the army was laughing at him.

He tried some methods, but none of them worked.

Later, his quota was given to someone who enlisted later than him. When it was time for his discharge, his instructor talked to him and advised him to voluntarily request to be discharged.

He had no choice but to return.

But he was really unwilling to accept it.

There was no place for anyone surnamed Dong in the Shangjiang Brigade anymore.

In Shangjiang Brigade, the person surnamed Jiang is in charge.

At first, he tried to make an effort and went to see Old Dong, hoping to unite with the Dong family to seize some power from the Jiang family. At the very least, half of the important management positions in the production brigade's factories should be held by people surnamed Dong.

But no one responded to his call, and even his own people were indifferent to him.

Whenever he mentioned it, they would shun him like the plague.

Dong Jincheng didn't understand. Later, he came to find his mentally challenged brother again, but Shen Jinju beat him up and threw him out.

"We've already split up, what are you doing here? We never get the good things, but you come to us for these kinds of tough, dangerous tasks?"

Later, he learned from Dong Youfu that Jiang Xingye had found a good fiancée. She was the goddaughter of a family in Yancheng that he could hardly imagine, and her father was a martyr.

While he was in the army, he had naturally heard the legends about Xu Jing'an, and he was so jealous of Jiang Xingye that his eyes turned red.

How could such incredible luck have fallen on Jiang Xingye's head! If he had met Xu Qinghuan, even if his father had only embezzled a little grain, or even if he had killed someone, he might still have risen to prominence.

That's when he had the idea of ​​marrying Jiang Xingmei.

He was a high school student, and the military trained him for three years. If he couldn't achieve something, it would be a waste of his talent.

But he returned too late, and his clansmen were not up to par, gaining no advantage in the factory and unable to help him.

In addition, because of his father's actions, his family's reputation is now bad. No matchmaker has come to his door since he came back. Does he have to lower himself to ask a matchmaker to help him find a wife?

Since that's the case, why not go for Jiang Xingmei? Although he's been jilted before and his reputation is ruined, he can still gain some benefits if this marriage goes through.

Dong Jincheng thought it was a sure thing!

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Guizhi actually beat his mother out!
The Jiang family's eyes have all grown onto their foreheads.

Dong Jincheng decided to go all the way and use public opinion to make the marriage a reality!

Zhou Guizhi came knocking on the door, and as soon as she arrived, she overturned the Dong family's table.

Dong Jincheng was so angry he gritted his teeth. Had his family's status fallen to this point after his father failed to become the village party secretary?

Back then, even that idiot Dong Liangcheng managed to marry a beautiful educated youth.

Someone of his status wouldn't even take a secondhand woman who had been annulled.

Dong Jincheng's face darkened. "My mom wants to introduce me to Xingmei. I didn't want her at first, since we broke off our engagement. If she were good, Zhao Jianjun would never even look at her."

We grew up in the same village, and out of our shared childhood bond, I won't look down on him.

"That's right, if you don't agree, just don't say it. What kind of behavior is it to come to my house and smash things?"

With her son's support, Sun Guihua can stand tall with confidence.

Zhou Guizhi had never been so angry before, and as a result, her daughter had to suffer in silence.

Seeing Zhou Guizhi swaying, Xu Qinghuan came up to support her. "Of course we disagree. You, Dong Jincheng, are someone who was kicked out of the army and no longer wanted. Why should my Xingmei pick up trash like you?"
"What talk of growing up together? Aren't you just trying to curry favor with the Jiang family because they're seeing it prosper?"

Dong Jincheng's face turned pale instantly. "Xu Qinghuan, don't try to spread rumors just because you're sharp-tongued. What makes you think I was kicked out of the army? Apologize to me right now, or I'll go to the police station and report you for defamation."

In the book, Dong Jincheng was promoted to officer in the army, and the Dong family became incredibly powerful.

Xu Qinghuan laughed and said, "Why did you, a reserve cadre who was originally going to be promoted, come back after being discharged from the army? The army wants people with clean backgrounds. How can you, the son of a labor camp inmate, stay in the army?"

You should have come back long ago. The reason you've only come back now is because the organization pressured you to apply to return voluntarily. Isn't this just being kicked out?

The members were discussing it animatedly.

Before this, Dong Jincheng had said that his father was not at home, his younger siblings were still young, his older brother was an ungrateful wretch, and the family could not be without a pillar of support, so his mother called him to come back.

It sounds like he sacrificed himself to come back.

That woman is a real menace!
But there's no denying that she's really good-looking!

If only I were one of his people.

Jiang Xingye is a good-for-nothing who can't even read a single word. What right does he have to possess such a stunning beauty?

　Happy reading, my dears!
