Pei Zhi is a retiree from the Quick Transmigration Bureau. Due to her flirtatious behavior in several small worlds before retirement, the worlds faced collapse, forcing her to return to duty. The a...
After hearing her mother's words, Pei Zhi understood what was going on.
Pei Zhi asked helplessly, "Mom, why are you running upstairs so late at night instead of sleeping?"
"You're still blaming me?"
Pei's mother said angrily, "You did this yourself, and you're blaming me for seeing it?"
After speaking, Pei's mother realized that her voice was a bit loud, so she quickly lowered her tone.
"What I mean is, you're out there, you're looking for them, you're inviting them to your house one by one."
"That's none of my business, and I'm too lazy to care, but it happens in the village."
"You live on the same floor, right next door. Aren't you worried about being discovered?"
After Pei's mother finished speaking, she realized that Pei Zhi was quite bold.
“If things get out of hand during the Lunar New Year, the whole family will lose face.”
Although to outsiders the daughters were said to be distant relatives who had come to stay with the family, they were considered as family daughters.
When the Chinese New Year arrived, everyone in the village returned home.
If this causes any trouble, it could be quite a big deal.
Pei Zhi originally wanted to keep it a secret from her mother, but her mother found out anyway.
There were some things that Pei Zhi simply couldn't be bothered to hide anymore.
Pei Zhi could only tell the truth: "They all know."
Pei's mother didn't understand at first, and looked at Pei Zhi with some doubt in her eyes.
Pei Zhi explained, "They are all doing this voluntarily, so they won't fight."
Pei's mother truly didn't understand. "What the heck?"
“I said, they came into my bed, we both knew, it won’t cause a big fuss.”
Pei Zhi told her mother that she would make a big fuss the next time she saw Jiang Qingyuan enter her room.
Anyway, since I've already said it, it won't make a difference if Jiang Qingyuan is one more person.
"Oh, Jiang Qingyuan is coming into my room tonight, so Mother, please don't come up here, lest we run into each other again."
"He also..." Pei's mother's gaze lingered on Pei Zhi, but in the end, she could only sigh.
"Fine, you can decide for yourselves."
Suddenly sensing something was wrong, Pei's mother asked, "If we hadn't been discovered today, were you still not planning to tell me?"
According to Pei Zhi, they had already done this and that before she came back this time.
But why didn't Pei Zhi say a word after she came back?
If she hadn't gone upstairs and discovered it herself, and then asked Pei Zhi, Pei Zhi probably wouldn't have told her, right?
"Mother, how can I possibly say goodbye to you about something like this?"
Pei Zhi shrugged. "I'm just worried that you'll get angry if I tell you."
Pei's mother pointed at Pei Zhi with her finger, "You still know that this is wrong?"
Pei Zhi shrugged. "Anyway, it wasn't my idea, so it's not my fault."
Hearing Pei Zhi say this, Pei's mother felt even more helpless.
"You, really," Pei's mother could only shake her head helplessly.
"I'm relieved that you're all together now, so I hope you can live well together from now on."
Pei Zhi was somewhat surprised that her mother had such a high level of acceptance.
"Mother, don't you think this is a bit..."
Pei Zhi couldn't find the right words to describe it.
She thought her mother would resist hysterically.
Surprisingly, my mother was only shocked for a moment before accepting it?
Isn't this level of acceptance a bit too high?
"What else can I do?"
"You chose this path willingly, do you think I'd force you to separate?"
Pei's mother lowered her voice and said, "Besides, I can't bear to see you with either of them."
Pei's mother whispered, "This is good enough. As long as they are willing, I have nothing to say."
Pei's mother thought to herself, "It's not about enlightenment; Pei Zhi hasn't been around all these years."
These people treated her like their own mother.
Get her good food and drinks, buy her clothes, and buy her nutritional supplements.
A few years is not a few days; people's hearts will soften.
Now, Pei's mother looks at these three men just like she looks at her own sons.
"However, you should still be careful at home."
"Don't let your dad find out. He's so old-fashioned. If he finds out, he'll definitely start asking all sorts of questions."
Pei Zhi chuckled softly and put her arm around her mother's shoulder. "Okay, I understand."
"Mother, please keep an eye on things for me."
After having breakfast, Pei's mother arranged for a thorough house cleaning.
When it's Chinese New Year, a thorough cleaning is naturally necessary at home.
The second floor is where Pei Zhi and her group live, so they cleaned it themselves.
The first floor is where the eldest brother and sister-in-law, along with Pei's parents, live; they are the ones who come to clean.
As for the kitchen, my sister-in-law and mother-in-law are both very clean people, so there's no need for them to clean it after cooking.
They said they were cleaning upstairs, but Pei Zhi didn't need to do any work.
Pei Zhi was given a handful of dried fruit and sat in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting with Pei Wang.
Pei Wang is, after all, the younger brother-in-law, so there's no need for him to do it.
Pei Wang looked up at Cheng Xuelin, who was wiping windows upstairs.
"Tsk." Pei Wang clicked his tongue. "It's good to have more people at home. It makes things more lively when we're doing chores."
Pei Wang glanced at Pei Zhi and said, "You're really something."
Pei Wang's words were a genuine compliment, without any hint of sarcasm.
But to Pei Zhi, these words sounded a bit off.
Pei Zhi snorted, "Yeah."
"However, I'm not as capable as you, giving birth to twins at once. That's amazing."
Pei Wang's smile was somewhat stiff. Whenever the topic of children came up, Pei Wang would think of his ex-wife.
"I genuinely want to praise you, why did you bring this up?"
Pei Zhi replied innocently, "Aren't you overthinking it?"
"I'm genuinely praising you. Giving birth to two children at once, and twins at that, look around, who else in the surrounding villages has that kind of ability?"
Pei Zhi looked sincere, but Pei Wang just couldn't get used to it.
"If you like it, then you should have one too."
"What a coincidence! There's this gene in your family, so you're probably going to have twins too."
"If you're lucky, you might even have triplets. How wonderful!"
Pei Zhi looked around and saw her older brother sweeping the yard with a broom not far away.
Pei Zhi stepped forward, snatched the broom, and started chasing after Pei Wang, beating him.
Brother Pei followed behind, trying to mediate, saying, "How can you be so reckless at your age?"
Seeing this, Pei's mother said happily, "It's alright, it's the New Year, let them make a fuss."
Brother Pei could only shake his head, "Why is he still like he's never grown up?"
Pei's mother was not happy to hear this. "Yes, you've grown up."
Sister-in-law Pei was inside with her child when she heard the news and quickly went over to stop Brother Pei.
"Alright, don't make your mother angry. You'll need her to say a few nice things about you at the dinner table later."
Brother Pei thought for a moment and nodded.
Brother Pei has been driving trucks all these years and has made some money.
Truck drivers are away from home most of the year, spending only a few days a month at home.
Moreover, the food outside is not good and there are dangers involved.
Brother Pei wants to change careers, but he's short on money.
