Wen Li actually did not care about her daughter-in-law's background. As long as her family background was clean and she was upright, it was fine. If the Zou family wanted to last long, they had to have a matriarch who knew the big picture.
If she only had a family background and didn't know anything, then at least she had to be kind and wouldn't cause trouble.
Chen Xiang definitely could not do it. Back then, Wen Li could tell that she was restless. She had not done anything yet, but she had already started to ask for things. And they were not just gold, silver, or jewelry.
Getting recommendations for roles and a good word in to a famous director didn't seem to be worth much, but in Wen Li's opinion, she might as well have asked for money.
These were things that could be obtained with the help of the Zou family's status. Moreover, even the children of the Zou family were not allowed to do this. They had to abide by the rules and fight for it themselves.
