As Song Yanzhi walked into the room, he tugged at his collar, his throat dry.
...
While the two were at an impasse, Wang Yanmei wasn't faring much better.
After leaving Pei Yuchen in a dejected manner, Zhou Qiao immediately went to find Wang Yanmei.
She tearfully complained that Pei Yuchen had no intention of adopting the two children, saying, "Otherwise, I'll take the children with me. I don't want to continue like this. He's in a difficult position, and so am I."
"What nonsense are you talking about? He wants to send my grandson away? Don't even think about it!"
Wang Yanmei knew that her son wouldn't easily agree to transfer the two children's household registration to his name. She had already thought that this matter would not be easy, so she changed the two children's names to her son's surname as soon as they arrived, thinking that she would bring up the matter of sending the children to school when he came back.
To attend the childcare class, one must have a household registration in the family compound.
She had already changed her own name and wanted to continue her studies; she didn't believe her son would refuse to take in two children.
But she hadn't expected that she would underestimate her son's ruthlessness.
They're even thinking of sending the two children away now.
Wang Yanmei would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.
So she gritted her teeth and said, "If he won't transfer his household registration, I will. Anyway, both children must stay in our Pei family."
With that in mind, Wang Yanmei decided to use her connections to transfer her two children's household registrations.
Anyway, Wang Jian's parents have been gone for a long time, his relatives don't want the two children, his biological mother is divorced, and Wang Jian is now dead, so the two children are orphans.
All you need to do is adopt them.
These days, it's easy to get someone to adopt a child.
Pei Yuchen and Song Yanzhi were unaware of this matter.
After what happened last night, the relationship between the two became somewhat awkward.
Song Yanzhi's attitude towards him became even colder.
Xiao Bao didn't look too good either. He had another dream last night. He hadn't dreamed for several days, but now he was dreaming again.
He knew he never had good dreams, only nightmares.
Because those dreams will come true in reality.
Last night's dream was about my father and the woman Li Tiezhu mentioned yesterday.
Although he had never met her, he always felt that she was the woman who was talking to Pei Jichuan's father with his back to him when his mother picked him up from school that day.
In the future, that woman not only met with his father but also came to his house, and each time she sat and talked with him. His mother was cooking in the kitchen, and he saw it all; the woman and his father were chatting happily.
But Dad never talks to Mom that much.
He hates this kind of father.
Consequently, her attitude towards Pei Yuchen also worsened considerably.
Pei Jichuan, who was eating, sensed the suffocating atmosphere in the family.
I don't know what happened.
After finishing the meal, Song Yanzhi changed Xiaobao's clothes with a blank expression and put the notebooks, paper and pens she had bought earlier into his schoolbag.
Just as he was about to leave, Pei Yuchen called him back.
He came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of medicine, looked at her, coughed lightly, and said in a low, gentle voice, "Yanzhi, don't forget to take your medicine."
Song Yanzhi was stunned for a moment. How could she have forgotten something as important as taking her medicine?
Not only did she forget that the man's sudden hug had kept her awake all night, but she had also forgotten that she hadn't slept well the previous night.
Song Yanzhi's mood worsened, so he snatched the drink and drank it down.
The medicine smell was so strong that she coughed.
The man's large hand landed on her back, patting it lightly twice, his voice still soft and unsettling, "Drink slowly."
Song Yanzhi was in a strange mood. Last night she slapped Pei Yuchen, but today this man got up in a good mood to cook and bring her medicine.
To be honest, she had never received this kind of treatment in her previous life, even though she had been with men for more than ten years.
After thinking it over and over, Song Yanzhi could only come up with four words in his mind.
Men are so despicable.
He wasn't in a hurry to go to work today. Seeing the mother and son about to leave, he stepped forward, took the little boy's schoolbag, and said, "I'll take you there."
The concern in his eyes seemed genuine, and coupled with the strangeness of last night, Song Yanzhi had a fleeting illusion that this man's eyes held her and the child.
Even if it wasn't love.
She was somewhat confused. The novel seemed to suggest that Pei Yuchen and his childhood sweetheart Zhou Qiao had always had feelings for each other, but they couldn't be together for some reason. So, after her death, the two of them quickly got together.
If he truly loved Zhou Qiao all along, why would he do something that would cause her to misunderstand?
There were many people on the road at this moment, and the two of them walked quietly without saying a word.
Xiao Bao kicked at the pebbles, glancing up at his mother every now and then.
Mom's face is just as sour as his today.
Did Mom have a nightmare last night too?
Xiao Bao was wondering when he suddenly heard someone calling them from behind.
He turned around and saw that it was the annoying aunt from his dream, leading Pei Tiantian towards them and blocking their way.
The woman was holding several small notebooks. She suddenly bent down and handed them to him, saying gently, "Brother Pei, sister-in-law, Auntie said that Tian Tian ruined Xiao Bao's notebooks. These are the ones I bought to compensate Xiao Bao."
Song Yanzhi paused and glanced at the notebooks.
Pei Tiantian stood beside Zhou Qiao, biting her lip, a hint of resentment in her eyes. After stealing Xiao Bao's notebook that day, she was abandoned by Aunt Song and left in the Pei family, working herself to the bone every day with no good food—all because of Xiao Bao!
But she dared not show it; she could only hate him in her heart.
Song Yanzhi pulled Xiaobao away and said calmly, "No need."
"Sister-in-law!" Just as Song Yanzhi was about to leave, Zhou Qiao suddenly raised her voice, "I heard about the situation from my aunt. Tian Tian is still young and doesn't understand. She didn't do it on purpose. She just envied Xiao Bao for being able to go to school while she couldn't. Now she knows she was wrong, and it's great that she can correct her mistakes. You shouldn't still be angry with a child, right?"
