"Pei Lao Er, take care of your wife. If you say anything else, we'll go out and practice."
Pei Xinghe's face darkened when he heard what his second sister-in-law Wang Chunhua said. "Dare you dare to say that you smashed the pot for your parents? Is that a curse for their early death? If you can't hit your sister-in-law, can't you hit your brother too?"
Pei Jianshe shuddered subconsciously. Ever since Pei Xinghe was fourteen, he hadn't been able to beat him. Later, whenever they fought, he was the only one who got beaten. The fourth brother was incredibly ruthless in fights! Thinking back on that, he felt aches all over his body.
"Your second sister-in-law is just an analogy. If Wang Chunhua can't speak, just shut your stinky mouth."
Pei Jianshe actually felt that what his wife said made sense. Since they had two sons, they should have given more to the family. The fourth son might be destined to have no sons, just like the eldest.
Isn't all the property his?
Wang Chunhua was not angry when her husband scolded her, because she knew that her husband was doing it for others to see.
"Okay, we haven't split up yet? I still have the final say in this family! You can make your own decisions after the family splits up. Your mother and I will take care of the fourth child's marriage, so you don't have to worry about it. Go back to your rooms!"
Pei Dazhuang saw that his fourth son was really angry, so he quickly spoke up to end the family meeting.
The fourth brother is a man who only responds to sincerity with sincerity. If his daughter treats him well, he will get her a job as a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative. If the third sister treats him well, he will send her things every year.
The eldest and second oldest brothers just stared at the three acres of land in front of them. As long as the two old men were around, the fourth oldest brother would maintain superficial harmony with them, but when they left, he would ignore them.
"Mom and Dad, after Qingmeng and I get married, we'll live in a house by the river. Guodong and Guoliang are still young, and I'm worried about leaving them alone."
Pei Xinghe gave his parents a heads-up, making it clear that this was his own idea and had nothing to do with Gu Qingmeng.
"You have the final say in your own affairs. As long as you don't mind being criticized, you can go and live there. After you get married, your mother and I will divide the property between you."
The children have grown up, and their parents can no longer control them. They live their own lives, and he does not interfere. What Pei Dazhuang admires most about his mother is that she divided the property among them in time.
Only when no one takes advantage of anyone else can family affection last longer. If there is only complaints, how can there be any family affection?
"Old Four! Otherwise, you should build another house by the river next year. It's not good to live in Gu's house. People will gossip about you."
Zhang Shuqin knew that her son was rich and building a house was a piece of cake for him.
"Mom, let's talk about the house later!"
Pei Xinghe wanted to ask Gu Qingmeng's opinion. If there was no need, there would be no need to build a house. Money didn't come from the wind, and their money had to be useful. Qingqing said that raising a child in the future would be very expensive.
"You...it's up to you to decide."
Zhang Shuqin said nothing more.
"Old Four, this year's grain has arrived, and the village still depends on you for food. The money from selling oil is exchanged for grain. Several families want to get married this year, and they are waiting for the village to distribute grain and money! Alas! Old Four, I'm sorry for you."
Most people in the village think that the fourth brother is not doing his job properly. Don’t they know that the food they eat is brought back by this idle man?
Only a few people know that the harvested walnuts are used by the village to extract oil and exchange for money. Most people think that the walnuts are handed over to the purchasing station.
"Dad, I've made some money, and I don't care what others think. It's late, so go to bed early."
After saying that, Pei Xinghe returned to the room. Did he feel wronged?
In fact, he doesn't feel wronged. He wants to make money and he wants a better life.
When he was a child, there was a famine and his brothers snatched his food away. It was his parents, grandmother, third brother and sister who took care of him. He earned money to give himself and them a better life.
As for helping the village sell grain, his father is the team leader, and it is his father who causes trouble when people are hungry. The oil pressing in the village helps him gain a foothold in the black market. It is a win-win deal and he does not suffer any loss.
He doesn't care what the villagers say about him. Why should he care about insignificant people?
Pei Xinghe admitted that he was selfish. He would repay double to those who were good to him, but he would not even blink an eye if someone who was not good to him died at his doorstep, even if that person was his brother.
He didn't know whether Gu Qingmeng would like the real him.
He only knew one thing, that is, he would bring back the person he set his eyes on, no matter what means he used. As long as he treated Qingqing well, Qingqing would definitely be inseparable from him!
The next day, Pei Xinghe got up early and when he went out, he saw his eldest brother with a gloomy face and his second brother who looked like his wife had died!
"The firewood for the fourth brother's house was chopped by the second brother and me. Winter is coming soon and there is a lot of work to do around the house. There is no rush for your engagement. Housework is more important!"
When Pei Fugui heard his second brother say today that his sister's job was done by the fourth brother, he became more and more disgusted with the fourth brother. He couldn't tell the inside from the outside. He was the eldest brother, but when there was a good thing, he didn't think of him but gave it to an outsider.
"Mom always goes to help Gu Zhiqing store winter vegetables. The pickles and sauerkraut in our house are all pickled by your second sister-in-law. Tell Gu Zhiqing not to ask mom for help whenever he has nothing to do." Pei Jianshe muttered with his head down.
Since he didn't get the upper hand at work, he naturally had to blame the eldest brother for the wrong thing. Now he wasn't afraid of offending the fourth brother, because his parents were there. No matter how crazy the fourth brother was, he wouldn't dare hit him for no reason.
Pei Xinghe snorted coldly and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't do useless things."
As soon as these two guys stick their butts out, he knows what they want to do.
There must be something wrong with blocking him so early in the morning!
"Fourth brother, how can you talk like that? I am your elder brother." Pei Fugui was a little embarrassed and annoyed.
He is the eldest brother in the family, and Pei Xinghe should respect him. Last time, the fourth brother made the decision on his mother's hospitalization without asking for his opinion, so he felt that his position in the family was threatened.
I heard the hospitalization cost a lot of money. Mom is so old, even if she dies, it won’t be a loss! Why spend that money?
If you don't stay in the hospital, each family will get at least ten more dollars.
"If you don't tell me, I'll leave. I don't have time to argue with you."
Pei Xinghe was about to leave. No one could delay his date with Gu Qingmeng. Today he was going to drive the ox cart to town by himself.
"Wait, did you find Pei Xiuzhen this job?"
Pei Fugui asked the question in his heart. Didn’t he want to believe what the second brother told him?
The fourth brother was able to find a job despite his character. In fact, he knew in his heart that his younger brother was capable, but he just didn't want to admit it. He didn't want to admit that his younger brother was better than him.
Pei Xinghe's face changed. Only his parents and sister knew about this matter. He was sure they wouldn't tell it, so who did Boss Pei hear it from?
"Who told you that? If I could find a job, I could stay home."
Pei Fugui felt that what the fourth brother said made sense!
"Pei Lao Si, you don't have to pretend. I heard mother talking to my sister, and you found her this job."
Pei Jianshe directly revealed the eavesdropping incident. This matter must be settled! When the family is divided, it is easy to get benefits, and perhaps even get the job. He has two sons, after all. This job should be given to him.
