Old Mrs. Pei stepped forward with a dark face and tried to stop him several times, but she failed.

Pei Qinghuan still called.

Mrs. Pei was already worried about her image, and now when she heard the phone ringing, her expression changed.

She was a little embarrassed and kept mouthing to Pei Qinghuan to slow down.

Pei Qinghuan's call had just been connected when he heard the voices of his uncle and aunt on the other end. "Qinghuan, why bother calling us? If you want to transfer money to us, just ask your grandmother. We've already given her the card number for the transfer. You can just transfer it directly when the time comes."

"By the way, Qing Huan, if you have extra money, it's okay to transfer more. Your uncle and aunt will be grateful to you."

They spoke with smiles on their faces, their faces showing that they were sure Pei Qinghuan would definitely lend them money.

Pei Qinghuan frowned and said, "Sorry, uncle and aunt, I think you may be overthinking it. I won't lend it to you."

Her blunt refusal made Old Lady Pei's face change. She said, "You can't be so direct. It will have a bad influence."

"Qing Huan, I wonder if I heard you wrong. What did you just say? You won't lend it to me? Now that you've made money, you look down on us relatives, right? How could you say such heartless words..."

The voices of my uncle and aunt suddenly became a little angry, and Mrs. Pei rushed forward anxiously to answer the phone.

"Qing Huan, she's ignorant, she just said it casually."

The other party became even angrier. "So, you're just relying on your wealth to not help us. I never thought there would be such an ungrateful person among our neighbors! I held her in my arms when she was little, and now that you're rich, you won't even lend me some money?"

Old Mrs. Pei was muttering again, and it seemed that the village chief had come over.

"Pei family, what about the road construction we mentioned earlier? Our entire village will raise a banner in your honor. It's a huge honor."

Old Mrs. Pei also wanted to instigate the situation, but just as she was about to put on a smile, Pei Qinghuan refused without blinking.

"I'm sorry, Village Chief, I'm not rich enough to donate a road to the village. You think too highly of me. Don't mention such things again in the future."

Old Mrs. Pei was anxious, and before she could say anything, Pei Qinghuan hung up the phone.

"Grandma, you don't have to worry now. I've already rejected it for you. Don't take on similar things for me in the future. Can't we just live our own lives?"

Mrs. Pei looked at her in disbelief. "How can you speak to the village chief like that? You're not polite at all. Can't we give some of the money we have?"

Pei Anan tugged at Old Lady Pei's sleeve, "Grandma, you don't know, my sister and I also need money to run our shop, don't we..."

She was halfway through her words when Old Madam Pei pushed her away. "You two sisters are both ungrateful. If I had known this would happen, why would I have come all the way to see your mother?!"

Old Mrs. Pei cursed angrily, and then, without caring about the reactions of Pei Qinghuan and the others, she turned around and left with the gift that Old Man Gu had just given her.

"Grandma! Where are you going, grandma..."

Pei Qinghuan called out twice, but Old Lady Pei ignored her. Old Lady Pei felt that she had been humiliated, so she didn't care what she said, snorted a few times, and left.

The atmosphere in the Pei family was not very good. Gu Jinchen frowned and asked in a low voice what had happened.

Pei Qinghuan had no intention of hiding it from Gu Jinchen, so she told him exactly what had just happened.

"What do you think?"

Pei Qinghuan frowned, she felt that she was not wrong. This kind of thing would happen again and again, and it was obvious that he was just looking at the two sisters making money and wanted to take advantage of them.

When the Pei family was in trouble, no relatives came to help. Now that they have some money, they plan to take it from them.

Pei Anan immediately went over and grabbed her, "Sister, don't ask my brother-in-law about this."

Pei Anan thought to herself, if she asked Lu Zhicheng about this, she would know with her brain that Lu Zhicheng would definitely try to smooth things over and say that neither side was wrong, and in the end he would even unhappily say that she was narrow-minded.

She was worried that what her brother-in-law said would upset her sister.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jinchen didn't even blink, "You're not wrong."

"You should refuse. You should explain clearly to these relatives: Why should you give your own money to build roads in the village? Do you get a share of their profits?"

Pei Qinghuan didn't expect Gu Jinchen to support her. She opened her eyes wide and spoke for a long time, "Thank you."

Gu Jinchen was as natural as could be this time, "We are husband and wife, I will support you in all your actions and ideas."

Old Master Gu standing by was laughing so hard that his mouth was about to break.

On the contrary, Gu Cheng next to him almost didn't react. What his elder brother said was too corny. Was he trying to coax his sister-in-law?

These words, which sounded warm to anyone's ears, actually made Pei Qinghuan stunned for a moment. She came to her senses and glanced at Old Man Gu.

Then he pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and whispered carefully next to Gu Jinchen, "I forgot you were going to act out a harmonious couple for grandpa. I'm sorry, I asked that question without thinking too much. I must have lost my mind, haha."

She explained in a low voice that she still remembered that Gu Jinchen was not her real husband after all, so she didn't want him to misunderstand.
