Seeing Pei's father and son talking, Pei Yuchen called Pei Hai out.
When Song Yanzhi went out after hearing the knocking, the two were already gone.
She went outside and saw a young and pretty girl standing at the door.
It's Li Xiuhe.
Li Xiuhe was also somewhat surprised to see her.
She had long heard that Pei Hai's older brother had moved out long ago, and now only Pei Hai lived here. His younger sister also often stayed at school and rarely came back.
All in all, apart from having a father who is paralyzed in bed, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it.
She came this time not only to discuss the matter her mother had discussed with him last time, but also to discuss something more important.
But I never expected to run into Pei Hai's sister-in-law here.
"Hello, is Pei Hai home?" Li Xiuhe asked.
Song Yanzhi paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you want with him?"
Li Xiuhe hesitated for a moment, "I have something important to talk to him about. If he's not here, then forget it."
After she finished speaking, she turned to leave, but after taking two steps, she stopped. She hesitated, turned back, and said to Song Yanzhi, "Could you please tell him that I will be waiting for him under the old locust tree at the entrance of the family compound at six o'clock this afternoon, and that he must come?"
Song Yanzhi looked at her for a while.
Li Xiuhe's gaze darted away, and after speaking, she turned and left.
She had only been gone a short while when Pei Yuchen and Pei Hai returned.
Pei Hai's expression was rather unpleasant.
I guess they found out something.
Song Yanzhi then said directly, "Li Xiuhe just came to see you and asked you to go to the old locust tree at the entrance of the family compound at six o'clock. She has something important to talk to you about."
Pei Hai was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Pei Yuchen.
Pei Yuchen said, "Go."
Pei Hai was somewhat displeased. He didn't really want to have any contact with Li Xiuhe right now. It was probably about her pressuring him to get married again. His mother had already told him about the last thing they discussed with his family, but they hadn't agreed.
He even said that there were plenty of people who didn't want him, and that if Xiuhe hadn't taken a liking to him, he wouldn't have had a chance.
Pei Hai knew he was useless, so it was normal that Li Xiuhe looked down on him.
But he didn't say he absolutely had to marry her, so why did he sound so reluctant and disdainful when he did?
It seemed like there were no other options left, so it was his turn. He looked like he got a great deal.
He simply dislikes the people in the family compound, which is why he doesn't want to have any contact with them.
From a young age, they were always comparing themselves to others. If they were even slightly inferior, they were not allowed to play with them and would be ostracized and ridiculed.
Even now that I'm older, it's still the same.
“You need to say some things yourself. Don’t always expect others to speak for you,” Pei Yuchen said coldly.
Pei Hai stopped talking.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the locust tree at six o'clock in the afternoon, Xiuhe was already waiting there.
She didn't look as good as before, and she didn't seem happy.
Pei Hai didn't know how to face her, and scratched his hair.
"You've come. I have something important to tell you." Xiuhe's expression was somewhat complicated. She stared at Pei Hai. She had to admit that Pei Hai was handsome and dashing. Although he seemed a bit cynical, such a young man was actually quite popular. She often heard girls talking about him, saying that he was good-looking, but it was a pity that he was a good-for-nothing.
His older brother was the dream of almost every girl in the family compound back then. He was handsome and accomplished. But despite being brothers, he was far inferior to him.
When the marriage proposal to him failed, Xiuhe wasn't sad at all; on the contrary, she felt relieved because, apart from his appearance, Pei Hai had nothing that she was satisfied with.
Especially after her family arranged for Xu Dali to marry someone even better, Xu Dali was the opposite of her; she was satisfied with everything about him except for his appearance.
Having met someone better, going back to him only amplified the disappointment.
Right now, his brows and eyes are furrowed with worry.
Pei Hai looked at her for a while and then spoke up: "I also have something to tell you."
Li Xiuhe was stunned for a moment. In her memory, Pei Hai was a bit silly and indecisive. He would do whatever others told him to do.
I rarely say things like that.
She was somewhat surprised and asked, "What is it? Is it about postponing the wedding?"
She frowned. "My mother explained this very clearly. This has been postponed for another six months. I'm not young anymore, and I've had several failed blind dates. Now that we've finally reached the point of discussing marriage, the man keeps postponing the wedding. This has a huge impact on me."
Pei Hai said, "I didn't come here to discuss marriage with you. I came here to tell you that I don't think we're suitable. Although I don't know why your attitude has changed so much, I can feel that you look down on me. If you look down on me, why did you marry me?"
Li Xiuhe's expression froze, then she chuckled awkwardly: "What did you say? If I looked down on you, would I have married you? I did think you were a bit useless before, but I also said that as long as you listen to me, my parents will take care of your job. Of course, I didn't say anything else."
Pei Hai said, "If that's the case, why don't you find someone who already has a job and listens to you? Why do you demand that I become the kind of person you want me to be? I don't want to change myself for someone else; that's not what I want."
"Sister Xiuhe, I think we're not a good match yet. I've been trying to get my mom involved and avoid this issue, but seeing how serious you are about getting married, I think I should make it clear to you that I'm not willing to get married without a foundation of love. It wouldn't be good for either of us, and I hope you understand."
