Chapter 595: Chapter 595: Disgrace

The main thing was, in that fleeting moment, he actually thought about the incident where his wife almost hit Qin Yang’s wife.

He didn’t know why, but he suddenly linked it to Qin Yang’s motive for competition.

So when he faced Sister-in-law Feng, Feng Dajun couldn’t help but growl in a low voice, even though he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

“Now you realize how embarrassing it is? Where were you before? How many times have I told you not to meddle in my work affairs? Who told you that the Deputy Minister position would fall to me? There are so many people in the office, so many eyes watching, yet you dared to boast like that?”

Sister-in-law Feng, seeing Feng Dajun’s angry demeanor, shrank back in fear.

“Keep your voice down, aren’t you the one who said that the soundproofing in the family building isn’t good and that arguing would be heard by others? You’re embarrassed.”

“I’m embarrassed? You actually realize I’m embarrassed? My dignity has almost been thrown away by you. If you knew it was embarrassing, what were you doing earlier? Now the bragging has been exposed, and all the people in the family housing and the whole office are watching me make a fool of myself. What am I afraid of losing anymore? What dignity do I have left to lose?”

“It’s not entirely my fault. Didn’t you also say before that your performance at work was quite good and that this position was very likely to come to you…”

Before Sister-in-law Feng could finish, Feng Dajun pushed her away.

“I said those things at home, and you dared to repeat them outside?”

What he regretted the most now was drinking too much during the Spring Festival and speaking nonsense at home.

This was his first year celebrating the New Year away from home.

He wanted to return to his hometown to reunite with his parents, but the round trip cost for the three of them would be over a hundred.

Add in all sorts of other expenses, and the trip would take up two months of his salary.

So, he didn’t go back to his hometown and saved the money for socializing.

On New Year’s Eve, staying in this empty family building, spending a cold and dismal New Year, he unknowingly drank too much.

Sister-in-law Feng was pushed back by him and started crying, feeling aggrieved.

“I didn’t mean to say it outside. Besides, how are you worse than Qin Yang? In the Northwest, you and he were on par. Coming here, your position is even a bit higher than his. Even if there’s a promotion, it should be yours first. I think they’re looking down on you because you come from the countryside. Qin Yang is deliberately doing this. Their family is so wealthy that even if he never works in his life, he won’t worry about food and drink. They live the best life, yet he still wants to compete with you?”

Sister-in-law Feng felt such hatred.

She really thought good days were about to come.

Initially, she didn’t plan to mention this outside, knowing that speaking about it wouldn’t be good until things were settled.

But since that new neighbor tried to flatter her, saying Feng Dajun had great prospects, she unintentionally let it slip, and the other person’s attitude towards her became even more servile. Then she…

She enjoyed being respected way too much.

Whenever those people smiled and greeted her, bringing all sorts of good things to please her, she genuinely felt like an emancipated serf singing, finally in charge.

She thought days would always be like this, never again facing disdain, never being laughed at for being from the countryside, only flattery and laughter in the days to come.

But the result was even more disdain and ridicule.

Some even mocked her openly.

She hated Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia to the core.

Her husband Da Jun had mentioned that Qin Yang didn’t care about being in office.

It must be Lin Chuxia, holding a grudge because their daughter Feng Jingjing almost hit her in the past, and thus asked Qin Yang to take the Deputy Minister position from their Da Jun.

“Their family is already so well-off, why do they come to steal yours?”

Feng Dajun struggled from the countryside to this point, and it was hard-won for him to have a chance to shine. The whole family was counting on Feng Dajun to make a name for himself, why did Qin Yang still compete with him?

“Why do you think? At this point, you still don’t know why? I’ve said it countless times, don’t go out to offend people. Obviously, Qin Yang and I both came from the Northwest. How did Li Wei’s wife become best friends with his wife? Qin Yang’s wife even found a job for her – look at you, what have you done in the Northwest, and what have you done here?”

On the way back, he realized that Qin Yang was targeting him.

Last year, their daughter almost hit his wife, the matter seemed settled, but ever since that incident, Qin Yang’s attitude towards him became somewhat cold.

“I also want to get along well with them, but they all look down on me, disdaining me for coming from the countryside, and nobody wants to talk to me. What can I do?”

“If they don’t want to talk to you, look at yourself for the reason. Stop saying it’s because you come from the countryside. Li Wei’s wife is also from the countryside, even Qin Yang and his wife came from the countryside. In our entire family building, how many aren’t from the countryside?”

Feng Dajun lost all hope in her, “Pack your things, tomorrow I’ll buy you a train ticket, and you can go back to the hometown first.”

Sister-in-law Feng, upon hearing she should go back to her hometown, was so frightened that her crying stopped.

Recovering, she immediately rushed forward to hug Feng Dajun’s leg.

“I don’t want to go back to the hometown, Da Jun, don’t make me go back, I promise I’ll behave, I won’t dare anymore, your mother doesn’t like me, if I go back home, I’ll be bullied by your mother and your brother and sister-in-law.”

“Is it really my mother and my brother and sister-in-law bullying you, or is it actually your own fault?”

Feng Dajun started to question her words.

It was precisely because of her words that he brought her with him.

Since she was his wife, he naturally couldn’t let her be wronged.

But now thinking about it, his mother and sister-in-law got along well, so why couldn’t she get along with his wife?

Sister-in-law Feng shook her head while crying, “It’s not my fault, really not my fault. You know your mother prefers boys; she detests me for having a daughter and not carrying on the family line for the Feng Family. If I go back, there will be no way for me to live. I’m begging you, Da Jun, don’t make me go back…”

When she left, she thought she could become a city person and never return to the village.

After finally having a moment of pride, she had already said the absolute words.

If Feng Dajun humiliated her by sending her back, the disdain she faced would be no less than that in the family building.

Even if Feng Dajun didn’t become Deputy Minister, he was still a notable small cadre at the office, and the families in the family building would give him face.

Moreover, city people were, after all, more polite than those from the countryside; even if they curse someone, they do it behind their back.

If she went to the village, there would definitely be people gossiping about her.

“Da Jun, I promise you, from now on, I’ll definitely listen to you, stay home obediently, care for you and our child, oh right, Jingjing, Jingjing’s schooling over here can’t do without me, you can’t possibly want her to give up city school for village school, you know full well your mother’s bias towards boys. If we go back to our hometown, will she let her continue school?”
