He reached out and touched his mother's forehead, then touched his own. "It's not hot. Why are you talking nonsense?"
Wang Yanmei's face darkened, and she slapped his hand away.
She pointed at his forehead and poked it hard: "You still have the nerve to say that? Do you think I wanted Zhou Qiao to marry you? I was talking to you about Xiuhe's family, which was so nice. Once she married into the family, I could even get promoted to a team leader. But you, you got seduced by that vixen Zhou Qiao, and now the whole compound knows about it. If you don't marry her now, do you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?"
Although Wang Yanmei was very unwilling to have ended up in this situation, she had originally planned that as long as she adopted the two children and they could be recognized by their ancestors, everything would be fine.
Zhou Qiao is a college student, which sounds like a glamorous life.
But she had been married once before.
I don't even know how many times I've slept on the same kang (heated brick bed) with other people.
To put it bluntly, she was a widow.
Apart from distant relatives, everyone in the Wang family was dead, so no one knew about it.
But she knew it.
Of course, I don't want a woman like that to marry my youngest son.
But things didn't go as planned.
That one was also a good-for-nothing; Song Yanzhi couldn't handle him, and he couldn't even raise his child well.
If she weren't worried that her son wouldn't find someone better in the future, she would absolutely not be willing to let anyone marry into the family.
Pei Hai, his eyes glazed over from the rebuke, said, "How did I get seduced by Zhou Qiao? I haven't been home much lately, and I haven't even seen her."
"Xiuhe told me to find a job, so I asked my brother to introduce me to a carpentry apprenticeship. I've been getting up earlier than the chickens and going to bed later than the dogs lately. In a few months, I'll be able to work on my own. I've already made a promise with Xiuhe that we'll save some money and then go to propose marriage."
He's not young anymore, and although he's not in a rush, this marriage is definitely not something he can avoid.
Fortunately, Xiuhe was a very nice person, saying that as long as he was ambitious and knew how to make money, it would be fine.
She doesn't have high demands.
Pei Hai thought to himself that if the girl's requirements were so low, and he couldn't meet them, then he wouldn't be a real man.
So, he made a rare effort and became a carpentry apprentice.
His brother found him a reliable match.
He didn't tell Wang Yanmei because things were still unstable and he wasn't sure if he could persevere.
In his mother's eyes, he probably spends all his time being lazy and hanging out with his bad friends.
Besides, he didn't like Zhou Qiao's type either. She was arrogant and haughty, and she never even glanced at him, her eyes only on his brother.
How could she possibly be interested in me, let alone seduce me?
Pei Haidu wondered if her mother had paranoia.
He's never even held a woman's hand, so how did he get involved in a scandal?
"You're still not being honest. Your affair has become common knowledge in the family compound. If there were really nothing going on, would people be talking about you for no reason? Xiuhe's mother has already broken off the engagement and told you not to go looking for Xiuhe anymore. The marriage is over. If you don't marry Zhou Qiao, what will you do in the future?"
"I really didn't, Mom, why don't you listen to me? Look at Zhou Qiao, do you think she would even look at me?"
"Whether she likes us or not is not up to her. If she hadn't always dressed so provocatively and come to our house, none of this nonsense would have spread."
Wang Yanmei's only thought right now is for her son to get married as soon as possible. He's not young anymore, and he's already been engaged for quite some time.
They finally found a good family to marry into, and were just about to prepare the bride price, but Zhou Qiao ruined it all.
She knew her son well; he was careless and single-minded. Even if Zhou Qiao had done something, he probably wouldn't have noticed.
He had no idea whether Zhou Qiao was really seducing him.
Even if there really wasn't anything between the two, people are still spreading these unpleasant rumors.
Zhou Qiaoren didn't live in the family compound, and after a while, everyone forgot about her and acted as if nothing had happened.
But what about the son? He's completely innocent.
Not only did no one want to marry him, but they were also unjustly criticized.
How dare Zhou Qiao look down on her son?
She's practically secondhand goods, so it's her good fortune that someone is willing to marry her.
She actually looks down on her son? She's a mother of two, and people don't know how she's been treated. Does she really think she's something special?
"I don't care, I will never marry Zhou Qiao. I'd rather starve to death or jump off this building than marry her." Pei Hai was getting annoyed that she wouldn't listen to him.
“She’s already a mother of two, why should I marry her? I’m not going to be a dumping ground for someone else.” He thought his mother had really lost her mind.
Didn't this aunt know about Zhou Qiao's marriage?
Not only did she not know it, but she also pushed herself into a pit of fire.
They've truly forgotten their son now that they have a grandson.
That's outrageous.
He's going to run away from home!
"Hey, you brat, those two kids... those two kids are..." Wang Yanmei stood up anxiously, but before she could finish speaking, she saw someone looking into the house and broke out in a cold sweat.
He quickly shut his mouth.
She watched helplessly as her son left the house, and was furious.
The background of these two children must never be revealed.
If they were to reveal this, not only would they lose their eldest son's subsidy, but the Pei family would also lose all face in this residential compound.
If the youngest son and Zhou Qiao really don't work out, there might be other options.
If people find out that the child is his, he's completely finished.
Wang Yanmei was at a loss for what to do.
...
Pei Tiantian felt a little regretful.
For a while, Aunt Zhou Qiao came over every day, just to teach me to dance.
