Chapter 929 Wasn't my youth youth?
Director Lin quickly tidied up the kitchen and then checked the homework of the three children.
Her house is also quite large, with an area of over 100 square meters.
Two daughters share a room, and two sons share a room.
Wang Cuizhi lives with her mother-in-law, and her husband has also set aside a study for her.
The study is not large, but it can seat two people. One wall behind it is covered with books, mostly reference books, but also some literary ones. They are all quite conventional, and even in the past, there would have been no fault with them.
Director Lin pushed open the door to the study, as it was a convenient place to talk.
Wang Cuizhi stood at the door. She rarely came here. Of course, there were no secrets in the house, since she wasn't in a technology job. But actually, even if she looked, she wouldn't understand.
Director Lin had already sat down, her smile warm and friendly. She had never harbored resentment or ill will towards her because of her concern for her husband; she was never cold or sarcastic, always showing her sufficient respect, and never bossing her around. She did what she was supposed to do, and never offered to do what she shouldn't.
Many times, she couldn't understand this woman either.
But the jealousy was genuine.
After all, she was from the countryside, but she managed to escape poverty and despair by taking care of a paralyzed old woman.
Before Wang Cuizhi could speak, Director Lin greeted her, "Come in and sit down."
If you're going in, then go in.
Since she's already said it, she won't give up until she sees tangible benefits.
This is what they owe her.
She spent half her life, her youth, and her best years in this room.
Without her at home, how could Director Lin and Director Fan possibly do their work with peace of mind?
Without them, they wouldn't have achieved such great success today.
Their success also owes partly to her hard work.
If it weren't for her painstaking care of Director Fan's mother, how could Director Fan have felt at ease going out to conduct interviews?
Without her taking care of the old lady at home, even if Director Lin were the most capable person, she would be overwhelmed and wouldn't be able to do her job as well as she does now.
Thinking about this, Wang Cuizhi became even more self-righteous, and her slightly bent back slowly straightened up.
It was impossible for her not to feel jealous when she saw Director Lin looking radiant and sitting there with the air of a leader.
Looking at herself, she has been taking care of this paralyzed relative until now, and she has no partner, no marriage, and no children of her own. She has devoted her whole life to this, and she feels like she has lost out no matter how she thinks about it.
So she went inside and sat down in the chair with a clear conscience.
Director Lin glanced at her, subtly curled the corners of his lips, poured her a glass of water, placed it in front of her, and said, "Let's drink and talk."
Wang Cuizhi took the teacup, brought it to her lips, and took a small sip.
She then put down the cup and stared straight at Director Lin, but you could see a hint of guilt and panic deep in her eyes.
This is how she behaves every time she faces Director Lin.
In fact, Wang Cuizhi didn't want things to turn out this way. She wanted to be more assertive, to make Director Lin bow down in front of her, to make Director Lin feel guilty towards her, and to make Director Lin compensate her.
But there was nothing she could do; this woman had been an official for so many years, and naturally possessed something other women didn't. She coughed, straightened her back, and decided to remain calm and wait for Director Lin to speak first.
Director Lin didn't take it to heart at all. He glanced at Wang Cuizhi with a half-smile, sighed inwardly, and said gently, "Regarding what you told me the other day, do you think I should agree or not?"
Wang Cuizhi clenched her hands and said, "I asked you this question, why are you asking me this in return?"
Director Lin shook his head, smiled, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll tell you directly that it's impossible. Neither my youngest son being adopted by you, nor my divorce from Lao Fan so that he can marry you, is realistic."
Wang Cuizhi retorted, "You didn't even ask Brother Fan, so how can you be so sure you disagree?"
"Yes, because I disagree from the start."
Wang Cuizhi's face flushed red, and she asked somewhat agitatedly, "Why do you disagree? Why don't you agree? This is what you owe me! To be honest, taking care of your sixth aunt, who is also your mother-in-law, isn't that what you, as a daughter-in-law, should do?"
You should have quit your job then and stayed home to take care of your mother-in-law wholeheartedly. But you disagreed and instead went to the countryside to bring me here.
I've stayed here for so many years. Your youth is youth, but wasn't mine youth too? You're looking down on the peasant class.
Director Lin was not surprised.
When Wang Cuizhi gets clever, she's quite remarkable; she can speak eloquently and logically, always having a reason to speak.
Director Lin remained calm, her voice gentle, and slowly shook her head: "I am a farmer's child. I was born and raised in the countryside. It was those mountains that nurtured me, and I have been trying my best to give back to those mountains all these years. I have never forgotten that I am a farmer's daughter. So please don't say such things."
"Then why do you disagree?" Wang Cuizhi clenched her fists and asked in a low voice.
"Of course, it's because I'm now Lao Fan's legal wife. During our marriage, I certainly won't allow any woman to make such an inappropriate request in front of me."
I disagree with both of these points.
Do you have any other thoughts? You can tell me now. Don't worry, we have plenty of time tonight. I won't do anything else; I'll leave it all to you, and we can talk slowly.
Wang Cuizhi looked at Director Lin, who remained calm and composed. It was always like this; it was as if nothing could stir her emotions.
She said through gritted teeth, "Over the years, I haven't looked for a partner or gotten married for Brother Fan. I even gave up my job for Brother Fan."
I just love him, and I'll never marry anyone else for him.
But I'm forty years old now. Do you think I can still find a partner and get married?
I have dedicated my entire life so that you can work with peace of mind.
Now you're denying it?
I'm telling you, this is impossible!
I don't believe your unit's leaders would say the same thing.
Director Lin leaned back to make himself more comfortable, as he was quite tired after a long day at work.
She waved her hand at Wang Cuizhi: "Let's not talk about this for now. Cuizhi, let's lay everything out on the table. You must have other thoughts in your mind. For example, after I disagree with both of these things, do you have any other requests?"
Wang Cuizhi was stunned for a moment.
Of course, this was expected; this woman has never been one to be trifled with.
But I didn't expect her to guess it so quickly.
