...
In the family compound, Wang Yanmei also arrived at her eldest son's house, intending to invite them over for dinner that evening.
My son hasn't been home for five years, and he's finally been transferred back. Of course, we have to celebrate properly.
I didn't expect that the person wasn't home.
Then they saw Pei Jichuan's two children sweeping the floor at the door.
He was still wearing tattered clothes.
"Hey, my Ji Chuan, what are you doing sweeping the floor here? Did Song Yanzhi make you do it?! Song Yanzhi, come out here..."
She looked at her grandson with heartache and shouted angrily.
Pei Jichuan withdrew his hand, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to strangers being so enthusiastic towards him.
"Grandma Pei, Aunt Song isn't home."
Pei Tiantian looked at her curiously, "Grandma Pei, are you looking for Aunt Song and Uncle? Aunt Song went to deliver food to Xiaobao's daycare and hasn't come back yet."
"A preschool for children with intellectual disabilities?" Upon hearing this, Wang Yanmei's face immediately darkened. "Is she crazy? That child is an idiot, why send him to a preschool for children with intellectual disabilities? I think she has too much money to burn!"
She was furious. She had given Song Yanzhi the money so that she could take good care of Pei Jichuan and his sister.
Song Yanzhi was quite clever; he immediately sent his mentally challenged son to school.
That child isn't mentally sound; what kind of education can he possibly have? Isn't this just a waste of money?
Wang Yanmei grew increasingly disliked Song Yanzhi.
"Ji Chuan, Tian Tian, has your Aunt Song bought you any new clothes?"
Pei Jichuan didn't speak, so Pei Tiantian said, "Aunt Song only buys new clothes for Xiaobao."
After saying that, she looked at Wang Yanmei expectantly, "Grandma, can my brother and I wear new clothes like Xiaobao?"
Hearing this, Wang Yanmei felt extremely distressed, both for the money and for her grandson.
This is his own flesh and blood, the son he loves most.
After enduring so much hardship away from home for so many years, I'm as skinny as a monkey.
They finally came back, but Song Yanzhi still treated them badly.
She's so angry!
She didn't look at Pei Tiantian, but instead looked at Pei Jichuan with heartache and said, "Oh dear, my poor grandson, that wretched thing. When she comes back, I'll have to teach her a lesson. Come on, Jichuan, Grandma will take you to buy new clothes."
Pei Jichuan frowned but didn't move. "Grandma Pei, I don't need it."
After saying that, he ignored her and ran into the house.
Pei Tiantian was initially delighted, as she also wanted new clothes, but she didn't expect her brother to refuse. Seeing her grandmother's sad face, she immediately stepped forward obediently and said, "Grandma, my brother is probably afraid that Aunt Song will be angry if she finds out. I'll go with you to buy them. I know what size my brother wears."
Hearing this, Wang Yanmei became even angrier.
She was taking her two children to the Pei family's house for dinner tonight, and had invited some relatives. What would it look like if they saw the two children dressed in tattered clothes?
Thinking of this, Wang Yanmei immediately dragged Pei Tiantian to buy new clothes.
Pei Tiantian was overjoyed, only thinking that her brother was really silly.
Aunt Song said she wouldn't interfere with them or blame them, and there was nothing wrong with Grandma buying them new clothes.
It'll be fine.
And even if she's weird, it doesn't matter, it's all for the sake of new clothes.
But Pei Tiantian didn't expect that her grandmother would keep asking her brother what size shoes and clothes he wore.
He didn't even ask himself.
She felt a little uncomfortable, saying that her brother was the same height as her, and they usually wore clothes of the same size.
Wang Yanmei was generous to her grandson, buying Pei Jichuan two new outfits and shoes at the department store.
When Pei Tiantian told her that Xiaobao had bought a new schoolbag for school, she felt extremely sorry for him; of course, her grandson should also go to school.
So they bought an even more expensive one for Pei Jichuan.
Ignoring Pei Tiantian's expectant gaze, she pulled her away from the mall.
He then casually bought Pei Tiantian a short jacket from a street stall.
Actually, she didn't want to waste money buying it for Pei Tiantian, but since the two children were going over for dinner today, she didn't want her to be dressed too poorly.
Otherwise, Wang Yanmei wouldn't be willing to spend this money.
"Sweetie, if your Aunt Song bullies your brother in the future, just tell Grandma, okay? Grandma will buy you candy."
Upon hearing that there was candy, Pei Tiantian immediately agreed.
I think Grandma is much better than Aunt Song.
Aunt Song only cooked for them and often had a cold face, which frightened her.
But her grandmother was willing to buy her new clothes and give her candy.
I wish she could live with her grandmother.
When Song Yanzhi returned home, he saw new clothes and shoes in the house.
The two siblings were standing inside the house talking, and Pei Jichuan's voice was filled with anger.
She entered the room, and the two of them immediately fell silent.
He looked at her anxiously.
Song Yanzhi glanced at those things and roughly guessed what they were.
But she didn't care.
Just as she was about to go into the kitchen to prepare a meal, Pei Tiantian called out to her.
"Aunt Song, Grandma said that you and Uncle can take us over for dinner tonight."
Song Yanzhi paused, realizing he had almost forgotten about it.
In her past life, as soon as her husband returned, her mother-in-law couldn't wait to ask the couple to register their two children under Pei Yuchen's household registration. Once registered, the children would truly be part of the Pei family.
She nodded and said, "I understand."
Although I don't need to cook dinner, I still need to take my medicine.
While brewing the medicine, Song Yanzhi thought about what he could do in the future.
She definitely can't go back to the textile factory, and she doesn't want to go back either, but even if she gets two thousand yuan now, it definitely won't be enough if she doesn't work.
She needs to find a job and then study.
I can't devote all my energy to my children like I did in my previous life, neglecting myself.
In those days, apart from skilled workers and some special positions, wages were not high.
A job that allows you to take care of your children, earn money, and learn at the same time.
After thinking it over and over, Song Yanzhi could only come up with one idea.
Be a teacher.
After gulping down his medicine, Song Yanzhi checked the time; school wasn't over yet.
Yes, she can rest for a while.
Song Yanzhi simply went back to her room to catch up on sleep.
She was a little tired after running around all day.
Seeing that she really didn't intend to blame them, Pei Tiantian's eyes lit up. "Brother, I told you, Aunt Song won't be angry."
"Grandma bought you so much, don't give it all to me."
After saying that, she snatched it away, feeling sad inside. She wished these were all dresses.
She wants a little dress.
Pei Jichuan ignored her and went back to his room, where he pulled out a crumpled math book from his luggage and started reading.
He had picked this book out of a garbage dump; it was exactly the same as the book his aunt's son, who was in first grade, used to have.
He didn't know how, but he just started learning by watching.
I think it's very simple.
