He put down what he was holding. "What's wrong?"
Neither child spoke.
Pei Yuchen wasn't annoyed. He looked at Song Yanzhi and asked in a gentle voice, "What happened?"
"Xiao Bao's notebook went missing, and they mistakenly thought Pei Jichuan stole it, so the two children got into a fight."
Pei Yuchen: "..."
Song Yanzhi took the bag, put on her ID, and then made a bottle of formula for Xiaobao, shaking it twice.
"But it shouldn't be him who stole it. I suspect it was Pei Tiantian. She's been going to your mother's place all the time these past few days. Now that you're back, let's go over there."
Song Yanzhi said, "I'm not refusing your adoption of someone else's child, but the condition is that the child is well-behaved, sensible, and doesn't cause trouble. If she really stole Xiaobao's things, then I will absolutely not recognize this child as my adopted daughter."
After what happened this morning, Song Yanzhi realized that Pei Tiantian had never been a good person since she was a child.
She deliberately made herself misunderstand Xiaobao, got angry and lashed out at him, making Xiaobao hate her as his mother even more...
She trusted her too much, which is why she ended up like that.
In her previous life, Song Yan wondered why Pei Tiantian suddenly disliked and loathed her so much.
Looking back now, I realize that all of this was traceable.
Because Pei Tiantian never truly loved her, her adoptive mother.
Upon hearing these words, Pei Jichuan's face tightened and turned somewhat pale.
Song Yanzhi pretended not to see his expression, took Xiao Bao's jacket and came over to help him put on his clothes.
Pei Yuchen remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement with Song Yanzhi's words.
He dislikes people who are dishonest, whether they are adults or children.
"Let's go to the Pei family first. We need to get back Xiaobao's notebook. It contains all the math he does, and it's very meaningful to him."
Pei Yuchen nodded slightly and looked at his son: "Xiao Bao, come here."
Xiao Bao glanced at him, quickly walked past him, and reached out to take Song Yanzhi's hand.
Song Yanzhi looked down and saw a hint of dependence on her in his beautiful eyes, which warmed her heart.
"I want to be with you."
“Okay.” Song Yanzhi led him out.
Pei Yuchen turned and glanced at the bewildered Pei Jichuan, and said, "You should come along too."
Pei Jichuan followed.
The family walked together quietly, looking more like strangers than family.
Pei Yuchen's gaze fell on the child and Song Yanzhi, and he asked, "Did Xiaobao ask for leave today?"
Song Yanzhi paused, let go of Xiaobao's hand, and let him walk ahead. "I almost forgot to tell you about this. The Yuhong Class won't let Xiaobao go to school. I think if it doesn't work, I'm planning to send him to an outside kindergarten."
"You won't allow it?" Pei Yuchen's brows furrowed. "What do you mean?"
"What else could it mean? Xiaobao doesn't like to talk, and nobody treats him like a normal person. Your sister-in-law, in order to avoid paying back the money, asked her mother-in-law's relative in the aftercare center to suppress Xiaobao and prevent him from going to the aftercare center. Otherwise, why do you think those two women came to see me yesterday?"
Song Yanzhi looked at his son in front of him and lowered his voice.
“I’ve already sold my job at the textile factory. I plan to find a teaching job so that my schedule will be the same as Xiaobao’s, which will make it easier for me to take care of him.”
She was merely informing Pei Yuchen; she wasn't asking for his consent.
Pei Yuchen stopped in his tracks, his face grim and unpleasant.
I never imagined that such a big thing would happen when I was only away for two days.
This has caused the mother and daughter to suffer such great injustice.
I originally thought that once the money was returned, that would be the end of it.
Unexpectedly, while his elder sister outwardly agreed, she was secretly suppressing the living space of his wife and children.
He has said "sorry" countless times since he came back.
But words are always inadequate, and Song Yanzhi disdained his apology.
She didn't even feel anything was wrong; she had already planned out her future.
However, he was not involved in the planning that followed.
Seeing his unpleasant expression, Song Yanzhi assumed that she had offended him by selling her job.
"If you also think it was my fault for selling my job, I can give you half of the money from it. Is that enough?"
Although she got the job through an interview, it was only because Pei Yuchen introduced her that she got the interview opportunity.
That's why the Pei family is so relentless.
They all believed it belonged to the Pei family.
Aside from raising the child, Song Yanzhi didn't want to owe him anything.
She graduated from high school and could easily find a job; she wouldn't have to beg for food.
Pei Yuchen didn't expect her to think that way. He looked at Song Yanzhi with an ambiguous expression. Song Yanzhi felt very uncomfortable being stared at. What's wrong? Isn't that enough?
After a long while, Pei Yuchen said, word by word, "Wasn't I clear enough? This job is yours because you got it through the interview, and the money you make from selling it is yours and has nothing to do with me. Besides, you are my wife, and there's no need to be so clear about things with me. I never intended to share this money with you."
Song Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, then heard him say coldly, "I know you're angry, but I haven't done anything to wrong you. Why should a husband and wife be so confrontational? If you have any complaints about me in the future, you can just say so. This kind of probing behavior is always unpleasant."
After saying that, seemingly wanting to give Song Yanzhi time to reflect, he left directly.
Song Yanzhi snapped out of her daze, her face flushed with anger.
What do you mean by not having done anything to wrong her? And then you confront him head-on?
The man's words made it sound like he was saying how sarcastic and unreasonable she was.
Song Yan was furious. His eyes widened, and his usually pale face gained some color, making him look much more human.
Just as she was about to get angry, she saw Xiao Bao and Pei Jichuan, who had walked in front, turn around to look at her.
He seemed puzzled as to why she had suddenly stopped.
Song Yanzhi couldn't lose her temper in front of the child, so she could only swallow her anger for now.
The family arrived at the Pei family's house in silence.
Pei Tiantian has been coming here for several days in a row, and she is feeding the chickens in the yard right now.
Wang Yanmei was sitting in the yard eating sunflower seeds. She was working the middle shift. When she saw her son and daughter-in-law arrive, she immediately stood up and said warmly, "What brings you here today? I heard that Xiaobao can't go to school anymore, right? I told you he couldn't go, but you didn't believe me and insisted on sending him. Now look what happened."
She heard about this from Pei Tiantian. Wang Yanmei didn't know much about the Yuhong Class, but she was very happy to hear about it.
She said Xiaobao wasn't very bright, but her son didn't believe her. Now look what's happened, even the child development program won't accept him.
Why waste that money?
Song Yanzhi could hear the gloating in her tone.
