Chapter 465 - 0465 Narrow Paths Meet 3_1
Upon hearing this, Wang Cuilan gave a slight smile.
"Your father is the deputy mayor, a high-ranked and high-paid official, living in the city committee compound. And you yourself are a university student in the capital, with a promising career future. It is only natural that he’s a little picky about marriage. Don’t worry," Wang Cuilan said unsympathetically. "Just keep looking, and you will eventually find a girl who is perfect in Yougui’s eyes."
The vice mayor, Zhu, snorted dismissively and shook his head. "I doubt it," he said.
There is no such thing as perfect. How could one expect to find a perfect mate?
A father might voice such concerns, but Wang Cuilan, as an outsider, had to abstain from agreeing. If this conversation were to reach the ears of the deputy mayor’s wife and son, it would be difficult to smooth things over.
The deputy mayor’s wife, Liu Cuihong, was fiery and fierce, and their son, Zhu Yougui, was proud and aloof, least likely to appreciate criticism from others.
Chen Xueniang, perceptive as always, hastily handed the Golden Fruit Bar and the handkerchief it was wrapped in to Wang Cuilan. "I noticed Xibao really likes it. Take it home for him to teethe on. Tell his mother not to look down on it."
"What would she find objectionable? These days everyone is equal, nobody is superior," said Chen Xueniang, who was upstanding and kind-hearted. In Wang Cuilan’s eyes, she was a good comrade. So what if she had worked in kilns? Hadn’t she herself marched and fought alongside Cheng Baoguo, among people of all backgrounds? Even high-ranking military officials married divorced women.
Chen Xueniang was very pleased with Wang Cuilan’s straightforwardness. She always enjoyed dealing with such frank people, much like Feng Qingxue, who, despite her gentle exterior, spoke as frankly as Wang Cuilan.
If given a choice, she wouldn’t have wanted to work in the kiln, to endure all the torment and humiliation.
