Pei Yuchen had just gotten off work when his mother blocked his way.
"Son, come with me! Song Yanzhi is giving the two thousand yuan she earned from selling her job to her mother! This is outrageous! She's trying to bankrupt the Pei family!"
...
After Song Yanzhi taught Xiaobao to sing, she was both delighted and surprised.
What's great is that Xiao Bao can learn it right away, but what's surprising is that Xiao Bao is tone-deaf and can't sing a single note in tune.
Overall assessment: Unpleasant to listen to.
But he learned very quickly; after singing it once, he memorized all the letters.
As expected of his son, he's incredibly smart.
It was Xiao Bao's first time learning to sing, and it was very interesting.
He sang very loudly, straining his throat.
She seemed afraid that Song Yanzhi hadn't heard her sing it.
Song Yanzhi listened with a furrowed brow for a while, but his ears couldn't take it anymore, so he praised him for singing well and then asked him to write and sing at the same time.
Little Bao hummed a little tune as he went to flip through his notebook and write down the alphabet.
They didn't even hear someone knocking on the door.
Pei Jichuan went out when he heard the sound, and was stunned to see that it was Li Yuehua.
"Grandma Li, are you looking for Aunt Song?"
He shouted.
"Ji Chuan, why are you the one opening the door? Where are your aunt and Xiao Bao?"
"Xiao Bao is doing his homework, and Auntie is resting in the room," Pei Jichuan said.
"Okay, open the door. I need to go in and talk to your aunt."
As soon as Pei Jichuan opened the door, Song Yanzhi came out upon hearing the sound.
"Zhizhi." Li Yuehua greeted her warmly immediately. "Are you alright, Zhizhi? Last time, Mom didn't even have time to check on you before you left. Are you still upset with Mom?" Li Yuehua excitedly stepped forward and tried to take her daughter's hand.
Song Yanzhi dodged it.
"What brings you here? Has Li Laifu been sentenced?"
Song Yanzhi's voice wasn't exactly cold, but it wasn't enthusiastic either.
Li Yuehua's smile froze for a moment: "What are you saying? Are you still angry? That's your uncle, how can you be so disrespectful and call him by his first name?"
Song Yanzhi said calmly, "I don't have an uncle who would pick up a brick and smash it over his niece's head."
Li Yuehua's expression was unpleasant. "It's all in the past, why are you still holding a grudge? When did you become so petty?"
"Alright, alright, Mom won't talk about this anymore. Here's a hundred yuan, it's compensation from your uncle. Let's just let this go. We're all family. If you keep making a fuss, it'll just show you're being unreasonable."
Li Yuehua rummaged through the plastic bag and pulled out a wad of cash for her.
They have both ten-dollar and one-dollar coins.
It's obviously something you picked up from somewhere.
She was dressed in tattered clothes, and Song Yanzhi noticed that the silver bracelet she used to wear was gone.
I guess she sold it to raise money for her younger brother.
That was her dowry, which her father emptied the family coffers to give her back then.
She sold herself for her brother without hesitation.
I wonder how heartbroken Dad would be if he saw this.
Wang Yanmei followed her son all the way here, constantly complaining about how Song Yanzhi had asked her for money and how he had used his money to support her family.
He spoke with great passion and righteous indignation.
Just as he reached his doorstep, he ran into Li Yuehua, who was holding a large wad of money.
Wang Yanmei was immediately envious and furious. She said it was one thing, but it was another thing for her daughter-in-law to actually give money to her family.
She immediately pointed at Song Yanzhi and the other man and scolded, "Son, did you see that? I wasn't lying to you. Look how much money she's been sending to her parents' home. It's absolutely hateful! You have to teach her a lesson!"
Pei Yuchen glanced at the excited Wang Yanmei, stepped forward, pushed open the door, and went inside.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Wang Yanmei thought her son was angry.
He immediately felt smug and followed after them.
While following along, she kept saying, "I told you she wasn't a good person, but you wouldn't believe me. Now look what's happened. You're working yourself to the bone to earn money, while she's sending huge sums of it back to her parents' home. What a spendthrift, a jinx..."
Her words became increasingly harsh.
"Here's the money for you. Take it, and let's just leave it at that." Before Wang Yanmei could finish speaking, Li Yuehua's voice rang out from inside.
Song Yanzhi accepted it without any hesitation.
I didn't feel sorry for her mother.
They even felt disgusted and thought he deserved it.
She wanted to see how many years her mother could support her vampire brother's family without her father's help.
When Wang Yanmei saw that she had accepted the money, it was as if someone had pressed the pause button, and her voice stopped.
I was dumbfounded.
What does that mean? It's not that Song Yanzhi gives money to her family, but that her family gives her money?
How is that possible?
Hearing the commotion, Li Yuehua and Song Yanzhi looked over at the two of them.
Seeing Wang Yanmei's colorful expression, Song Yanzhi raised an eyebrow.
Her gaze fell on Pei Yuchen's face. "You're back?"
Pei Yuchen nodded slightly and responded with an "Mm".
"It's good that you're back. My mother brought the compensation for Li Laifu's case."
The Way of Song Yan.
Pei Yuchen nodded slightly: "I know."
After saying that, he turned to look at his mother and said in a low, cold voice, "Mom, repeat what you just told me on the way here to Yanzhi."
Wang Yanmei's face stiffened, and she said awkwardly, "So I misunderstood. I thought..."
Song Yanzhi could tell what she meant just by looking at her expression. In her past life, whenever she interacted with her family, her mother-in-law would give her a hard time.
She also spread rumors that she became rich and neglected her parents-in-law, only sending money to her own family.
She and Pei Yuchen had already moved away by then, so she wasn't quite sure why her mother-in-law said that.
