"Uh... the anniversary of his death! We don't talk about that anymore, so let's just forget about the memorial service, okay?"
Pei Erzhuang could no longer remember what his former wife looked like, let alone the date of her death. He only remembered that his mother had chosen her. She wasn't very good-looking, but she was very capable and could handle everything at home. If she hadn't fallen while fetching water, Xiaohua wouldn't have been born prematurely, and she wouldn't have died in childbirth.
Alas, it’s all fate. If she wants to blame someone, she can only blame her bad luck.
"Weidong, take the dog away quickly. Can't you see your mother is scared?"
Pei Weidong: ...
He didn't even know his mother's death anniversary. Who gave him the confidence to think he could order me around? It would be a lie to say he wasn't disappointed. Pei Weidong hated Pei Erzhuang a little. Why was he his son?
"My mother died a long time ago! Besides, don't you know that my mother loves dogs the most?"
As soon as Su Xue saw Pei Weidong's expression, she knew her chance had come. She stood in front of Chen Lan and asked with a smile, "How about letting Pei Weidong marry into my family and I'll give him a betrothal gift?"
Chen Lan's eyes rolled around. She wanted to agree, but she also knew that her words didn't count. Then she looked at Pei Erzhuang with tears in her eyes. She knew that men would fall for her tricks the most.
In the past, when she treated Pei Weidong badly, the man would be angry, but as long as she cried and made a fuss, the man would immediately be fine. Later, no matter how she treated Pei Weidong, the man basically didn't care.
As for a stepmother! As long as she didn't torture the previous child to death, she would be a good stepmother! Besides, Pei Weidong is strong and healthy, who can say that she is not good? If she is not good, the child will grow up like this. I don't know what the little bastard stole.
Ever since she married into the Pei family with her two sons, she has never given Pei Weidong enough to eat. She always gives food to her own sons first, but her two sons are never as good as this little bastard.
"Lanlan! Weidong is my only son. I want him to break pots in the future. He can't marry into another family. He will be laughed at."
Pei Erzhuang was heartbroken when he saw his wife crying, and he didn't notice Pei Dazhuang's look as if he wanted to beat someone up, or Pei Weidong's disappointed and sneering look.
"But we have no money left. We can't make ends meet. My niece beats me, and my daughter-in-law lets the dog bite me. I wish I were dead! I'm going to the commune to report it tomorrow."
Chen Lan refused to give in and acted as if she would not leave until she got the money.
"I heard that the one in front of you was released."
Pei Xinghe spoke at the right time. He had just heard about this matter. In the past, people did not need to get a marriage certificate. They would just have a simple wedding to be considered a couple. Some people did not even have a wedding. They would just take a few pieces of clothes and move to the husband's house to be considered married.
His second aunt was married to his second uncle, but not necessarily to her ex-husband. The details of their marriage and divorce were unclear. Pei Xinghe judged that Chen Lan was most likely not divorced.
As soon as her husband was imprisoned, she remarried with her children.
"Wha...what."
Chen Lan panicked and quickly stood up from the ground, not caring about the injuries on her body. She wanted to go home to ask her sons if he... was really released from prison?
Gu Qingmeng: ...
It can be solved with just one sentence, why didn’t you say it earlier?
Pei Xinghe: He was wronged. He wanted his cousin to see his second uncle's true character clearly! Don't harbor illusions about fatherly love anymore. It's better to fantasize about the love of your uncle.
When seeing the Pei family off, Pei Xinghe walked at the end, secretly complaining and expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Qingqing, Su Xue said today that she wanted to take you away from me and also talked about divorce."
Pei Xinghe's voice was low and very pleasant to the ear. It was a little hoarse because of the deliberate lowering of the voice, and it resonated with Gu Qingmeng's heartbeat.
That damn subwoofer!
It pokes her a lot!
"She's just talking nonsense. What she says doesn't count. How can I bear to leave you?"
Gu Qingmeng said coaxing words, but what she was thinking in her heart was that if he treated her well, she would live with him, and if he treated her badly, she would divorce him. Did she need others to help her get divorced?
It’s not like I can’t find the entrance to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Well, I will treat you well, and we won't get divorced."
In Pei Xinghe's dictionary, there is no word for divorce, unless he dies! Even if he dies, he will crawl out of hell and crawl to her side.
In the evening, Gu Qingmeng scolded Su Xue severely and told her to think before she spoke in the future. Then she promised to have many meals of braised pork. There was nothing she could do about her best friend, so she could only pamper her herself.
The next morning, Gu Qingmeng woke up and was dragged by her two aunts to try on clothes, all of which they brought from Beijing.
There were not only Gu Qingmeng's, but also Su Xue's. They were all ready-made clothes they bought in the mall. There were two red coats, which were prepared for their wedding.
There were also red sweaters. When Gu Qingmeng saw the red leather shoes, she became nervous. Did they have to wear all red?
No, she can't accept it.
"Aunt, I have a beige coat. I can just wear the red sweater today. I don't need to wear anything else, okay?"
Gu Qingmeng took out a pair of black pants and a pair of black leather shoes and put them on quickly. She didn't want to wear red shoes.
"It looks good this way! A red sweater is fine for the engagement today. Wearing all red won't be easy on the wedding day."
Sun Yan nodded. Her niece looked like her sister-in-law. She looked good in anything she wore, especially her figure. If her niece had not been unwilling, she would have been the mainstay of the art troupe. Why would she need to go to the countryside?
My sister-in-law would be so happy if she could see her children getting married!
"Yes, yes, wait until you get married before wearing red. Today is fine."
Gu Qingmeng quickly nodded in agreement. As long as she wasn't asked to wear red, everything was fine.
