Pei Tiantian looked on with longing after hearing what she said.
Can I really become as amazing as my aunt described?
At that time, will no one dare to look down on her anymore?
She no longer needs to please anyone; perhaps in the future, those people will take the initiative to please her.
Her eyes gradually hardened as she said, "Auntie, I'll do whatever you say. I'll do anything you ask as long as you can make me better!"
Zhou Qiao smiled with satisfaction. Song Yanzhi's way of preventing the child from developing in a better direction would only make the child resentful, and she deserved to end up like that.
Now that she can make Pei Tiantian taste the sweetness, she will naturally listen to everything she says.
When Song Yanzhi got home, he remembered that his chair hadn't been delivered yet.
Logically speaking, Pei Yuchen has been gone for several days, so things should have been settled by now.
After all, when he left, the chair was almost finished, just waiting to be painted.
He said Pei Hai would send it over once he finished, so why has it taken so long?
Could something have happened?
Song Yanzhi was a little worried. Remembering that Pei Yuchen had given her the address, she decided to go there herself.
"Xiaobao, stay home and do your homework. Don't go out. Don't open the door if any strangers come. Mommy is going out for a while."
Song Yanzhi instructed her son, took her bag, and went out the door.
The wood factory is somewhat remote, but it's a large factory.
Song Yanzhi originally thought it was just a processing plant or a carpentry shop.
I never expected it to be such a big factory.
Pei Yuchen introduced Pei Hai to this woodworking factory. If he studies diligently, becomes a full-time employee, gets promoted, and settles down as a skilled worker, his salary will be quite considerable.
But Pei Hai couldn't finish painting it even after several days.
Is it really that bad?
She remembered that he must have been there for quite some time.
Song Yanzhi stood at the entrance of the lumberyard and said to the gatekeeper, "Hello, I'm here to see someone. Could you please call Comrade Pei Hai for me? I need to talk to him about something."
The other party told her to wait a moment and made a phone call.
He quickly said, "The person you're looking for, Comrade Pei Hai, the people at the carpentry workshop said he hasn't come over for several days and isn't at the factory."
"Haven't been here for a few days? Did you take leave?" Song Yanzhi frowned.
"It seems she didn't ask for leave either. I don't know the specifics. I'm sorry."
Song Yanzhi made a wasted trip. No matter how lazy Pei Hai is, he wouldn't skip work for several days without asking for leave, would he?
Furthermore, although he was unreliable, he still dared not disobey his elder brother, Pei Yuchen.
It's impossible not to fix the chair.
Song Yanzhi realized that something might have happened.
However, I'm not in the family compound right now, so I can't find out what's going on. I'll have to ask Aunt Li tomorrow.
Song Yanzhi then went home first.
As soon as I arrived at my doorstep, I saw a hesitant figure standing there.
She frowned, quickly stepped forward, and then recognized the other person.
"Are you from... Aunt Wang's family?"
Wang Mei nodded shyly, "Yes, Sister Song, I..."
"You've come to see Pei Hai?" Song Yanzhi frowned.
Wang Mei nodded awkwardly, "He took me to the movies before and even paid for it. I felt a little embarrassed, so I wanted to pay him back. But I haven't seen him for the past few days, and my parents are urging me to go home, so I thought..."
She took out some money from her pocket and handed it to Song Yanzhi, looking somewhat disappointed. "Could you please help me return the money to him, Sister Song? Otherwise, I'll feel really bad about it."
Song Yanzhi paused, then heard her hurriedly explain, "Don't worry, I didn't mean anything by it. I heard from my aunt that I won't look for him again."
Wang Mei did have a good impression of Pei Hai. Her aunt had told her about the Pei family before, saying that Pei Hai's brother was a pilot and his sister-in-law was a school teacher.
She knew she wasn't good enough for him.
Upon meeting Pei Hai, she discovered that he wasn't as unapproachable as she had imagined, nor did he possess the arrogance that some city dwellers have towards country people. He even offered to take her to the movies.
He is humorous and witty, and also knows how to take care of girls.
The two talked about everything.
However, Pei Hai never appeared again after watching the movie.
Wang Mei realized that perhaps the other party didn't like her.
Later, he apologized to his aunt, feeling that he was a failure because she had gone to so much trouble to introduce him to such a well-off city man, but he had failed to seize the opportunity.
Only after hearing from her aunt that Pei's parents looked down on people like them did she realize that she had misunderstood.
It was impossible from the very beginning.
Although she was a little sad, Wang Mei didn't want to insist any further, so she thought of returning the money for the movie ticket to the person who had taken advantage of her.
Song Yanzhi didn't say anything, took the money, and nodded.
Knowing when to back down is a good thing.
Otherwise, given her situation, if she were to have anything going on with Pei Hai, even if Pei Hai genuinely wanted to marry her, her life after marriage wouldn't be easy.
Pei Hai is currently completely unable to separate from his parents. Besides, in this day and age, how many men are truly willing to break ties with their families for a woman?
Although Wang Yanmei looked down on her at the time, she did not stop her.
It wasn't just because she couldn't control her eldest son, but more so because she was afraid of Pei Yuchen.
Because he's the kind of person who can leave his family immediately if he says so.
She understood this principle well, and her eldest son was on the rise, so she dared not offend him.
Besides, Wang Yanmei has never taken the initiative to introduce potential partners to her eldest son. His own situation is already very serious, and it's putting too much pressure on her.
