Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work Chapter 277: Reaching Above One’s Station

"We haven’t seen my nephew’s family for several years, and the kids, Junjie and Junsheng, haven’t received red envelopes all these years. Today, we must make up for it." As soon as Li Honghua said this, everyone present agreed.

"Thank you, Aunt." The two kids smiled as they thanked her and accepted the generous red envelopes Li Honghua had prepared.

Afterward, Li Honghua introduced her sister Li Hongying’s family to Chen Xianhai’s family.

The al was quite harmonious, but since it was a day for the Dai family to celebrate together, Li Hongying and her entourage left shortly after lunch.

Since Li Honghua was already in Red Star Lane, she decided to stay at the Dai house tonight. After all, she and her daughter would be there for more than a month, so there’d be plenty of chances to gather with her sister’s family.

With the cold weather, although Li Honghua’s legs and feet had been soaked and received acupuncture the night before, it was still an old condition, so she went back to her room to rest in the afternoon.

After settling Li Honghua, Dai Zhenhua ca out to accompany Mrs. Dai. Being Dai Chunsheng’s sister, Dai Chuni couldn’t help but ask a few more questions about her brother’s situation and expressed her joy at eting.

"Oh right, Anmin and Xiaobao are getting married on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, which is the 25th of this month. I heard that the Huang family will not only hold a ceremony in Huaixi County but also invite friends and relatives for another gathering in Jing City. Is your mom going?" Mrs. Dai asked Dai Zhenhua.

Dai Zhenhua shook her head, "My aunt and her family aren’t going to Jing City. They just went during the National Day and already t the Huang family, had als together. The Huang family treats Anmin very well, so my aunt is very much assured. Moreover, the Xu family is in Jing City, and Anmin is now their goddaughter. So even if the Ding family doesn’t accompany them, it doesn’t matter, so my mom isn’t going either."

"That girl from the Ding family is marrying into the Huang family? And already t the main house of the Huang family?" Dai Chuni was a bit surprised, "Then she’s really entering a wealthy family."

There was already talk throughout Huaixi County about the factory manager, Huang Qianren, having a capable and influential brother, so many families were eager to associate with the Huang family.

"The girl is also excellent, beautiful, with a gentle personality, a good match for Xiaobao." Mrs. Dai said with a smile. She liked such a girl, and it’s no wonder her friend Mrs. Huang favored her so much.

Although Dai Chuni heard this, she didn’t say much, but if she were to choose a daughter-in-law for her son, family background would definitely be a big premise. Being well-matched was very important. However, since even her mother agreed, and since it had nothing to do with their family, she kept her thoughts to herself.

"Sister, the conditions of Zhenhua’s aunt’s family are quite good too. They have a house in the county, almost the whole family has jobs, and their adopted son, Xu Ancheng, is from Jing City, which is better than many families." Dai Chunhui chid in.

"Moreover, their kids are still young. By the ti they reach our age, who knows where they’ll be positioned; they definitely have potential."

"With the Xu family as godparents, they’re not bad at all." Dai Zhenhua added, a bit uncomfortable with her aunt looking down on the Ding family.

At first, she thought the Ding family was trying to ingratiate themselves, but later realized they didn’t even know what her family did. When she visited the Dingping Production Team, the school, and the food factory during the National Day period, she found that the Ding family worked hard and excelled in their respective fields, which made her feel deeply ashad of her initial thoughts.

Last night, Yi Roujing’s attention to her mother’s needle treatnt and foot soak, they genuinely cared and had sought dical advice early on. Dai Zhenhua now felt very good about the Ding family and couldn’t stand any belittling, even from her family. Besides, the Ding family’s situation wasn’t sothing her aunt should look down upon. Her uncle might be the top official in Huaixi County, but what did that matter compared to the Xu family?

"The Xu family?" Dai Chuni was confined to Huaixi County, knew a bit about the provincial capital but knew nothing about Jing City. Having been the wife of the municipal party secretary for so many years, she couldn’t help but feel superior, "Never heard of them."

"Zhenhua, not everyone in Jing City is a high official. Don’t just hear rumors and believe them. The Ding family might not be speaking the whole truth." Dai Chuni said.

Chen Xianhai frowned slightly and glanced at his wife disapprovingly, "There are plenty of high-ranking officials in Jing City. It’s fine to say these things at ho, but you shouldn’t say them outside."

"I know, I know." Dai Chuni dismissed it with a nonchalant response.

"It’s what I heard from my dad’s talks. At my age, how would I know these things?" Dai Zhenhua shrugged, feigning indifference.

"Your brother said that?" Chen Xianhai was taken aback.

Hearing this, Dai Chuni perked up, "Your brother said the Xu family is good? If he says so, there should be no mistake. What does the Xu family do?"

"Xu Ancheng’s father lives in Baiqian Village in Jing City, Dad talks about him." Dai Zhenhua pretended to think for a mont.

Suddenly, Chen Xianhai stood up, his voice rising slightly, "Could it be the Xu family with generations of police officers?"

Dai Zhenhua thought for a mont and nodded, "Seems like it. Dad ntioned that term, saying the Xu family had several generations in the police force."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xianhai imdiately sat down on the sofa, "I didn’t realize their son was in Huaixi County. I only found out today."

"A few months ago, I heard so rumors about soone coming from Jing City to Huaixi County, but no one knew them. I only heard it in passing from so provincial city leaders."

"Elder brother Xu just formally recognized his family lineage a short while ago, personally ca to Huaixi County to et his son, and even moved his partner’s grave back to Jing City." Dai Zhenhua felt moved, thinking that her parents’ love was already touching enough but found this even more heartfelt.

"What kind of position?" Looking at her husband’s reaction, Dai Chuni knew it must be significant.

Chen Xianhai eyed Dai Chuni, "You must never ntion this in front of outsiders, or else we might unintentionally offend soone, and the Chen family would be finished."

Dai Chuni was startled, stamring for a long ti without saying anything, finally obediently nodding.

"Xu Zongyin is... never mind, even if I tell you, you wouldn’t understand. Just know that I couldn’t reach that position even if I died." Chen Xianhai said to Dai Chuni, "The title in front of his na is long enough."

"Brother..."

Before Dai Chuni could finish, Chen Xianhai said, "Even your brother-in-law is several ranks below him. I’ll put it this way, with so many public officials nationwide, only a few can reach that position."

"Moreover, the Xu family’s righteousness and the accolades accumulated over several generations, almost every policeman knows the Xu family. My dad is retired from the Public Security Bureau, which is how I know, from what he told ." Chen Xianhai explained.

Dai Chuni pursed her lips, "Then, the Huang family is still the one reaching up."
