When Gu Qingmeng arrived at the Pei family's house, she saw that her two uncles and younger brother had already been welcomed in. She saw Pei Fugui and Pei Jianshe helping to greet the guests.
This was a rare occurrence, and she was surprised that the two brothers were not causing any trouble, but were actually greeting guests.
Gu Qingmeng was not surprised that the eldest sister-in-law Qian Shufen was working, but she was a little surprised that the second sister-in-law Wang Chunhua was also helping with the work. After the family split up, according to Wang Chunhua's personality, she would not work. Both of them would not do anything without profit.
"I've taken care of them. Now you can go meet grandma and my grandmother. My grandmother is a very nice person."
Pei Xinghe brought Gu Qingmeng into the house. Grandma had already met her, and she would definitely be happy to see the little girl!
"Grandma's eyesight is not good, she must like you very much!"
Gu Qingmeng only realized how bad Pei Xinghe's eyesight was when he entered the house. The old man could hardly see and needed help to walk.
"Grandma, grandma, we are here." Pei Xinghe first took Gu Qingmeng to introduce herself to a group of people. They were all relatives of the family, and today they officially got to know each other.
Finally, the two of them stood beside the old woman. Pei Xinghe smiled and said, "Grandma, this is my girlfriend, Gu Qingmeng. Take a look."
Gu Qingmeng held the old woman's trembling hand and saw her cloudy eyes. She knew it was cataracts, which could be solved with a minor operation in the future, but now it was tormenting the old woman so much.
"Okay, okay, little girl, can grandma touch you?"
The old man reached out and touched Gu Qingmeng's face and head a few times. His expression changed a little, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he told Pei Xinghe to treat Gu Qingmeng well.
At the dinner table, Pei Heixiong and Pei Xinghe's uncles accompanied the two uncles from the Fu family to drink. Because of the presence of elders, they all drank quite a bit of wine.
In the end, Sun Yan was a little worried, but for the sake of the man's face, she did not step forward to stop it. Instead, she sat with her brother and sister-in-law and waited for the drinking party to end.
Pei Xinghe didn't drink much because he was driving a tractor to pick someone up. There was no such thing as drunk driving now, but the roads here are all mountainous, and you can't drive if you're drunk.
After the show, Pei Xinghe and Pei Weidong sent the two uncles of the Fu family back first, while Gu Qingmeng was held back by Wang Chunhua.
"Fourth brother...Teacher Gu, I want to tell you something."
When Wang Chunhua saw Gu Qingmeng's eyes, she did not call out the three words "fourth brother's sister-in-law" and instead called her "Teacher Gu".
"What's up? I need to go back."
Gu Qingmeng felt that she had nothing to say to Pei Ersao. She didn't know why she was looking for her. Her two younger brothers were still waiting for her to come home!
"No! Something's going on. Teacher Gu, you and our fourth child are getting married soon, right? I think you know that our family split up yesterday. Dad and Mom didn't follow anyone else and have to stay with Grandma. We get pensions or food every month."
Seeing that Gu Qingmeng had no intention of responding, Wang Chunhua continued to speak on her own: "Your second brother and I are incompetent, and we have two sons to support at home. We are suffering! We can't live like this in the future..."
Gu Qingmeng didn't want to listen to Wang Chunhua's complaints anymore, so she had to ask, "What exactly do you want to say? Don't you want the pension money? If you're not afraid of getting your back broken, then don't take it. As for your son, if you can have him, you have to take care of him. Otherwise, it's against the law."
Wang Chunhua: ...
When did she say she didn't want to take the pension money? When did she say she didn't want to raise her son? Isn't she just setting the stage for the emotions? Why is Gu Qingmeng so anxious?
"Well, Mr. Gu, after you marry my fourth child, you won't live in the old house! The house by the river is so big, you will live there, right?"
As soon as Gu Qingmeng heard it, she knew that this person wanted the house. She wanted the house that her uncle and aunt had given to her family member Pei Xinghe. It was a nice thought.
"We plan to live there, but if you want a house, you have to ask Aunt. After all, this house was saved by Uncle and Aunt, and it's for you to live in after the family division. It's definitely not possible for you to occupy it all, isn't it, Aunt?"
Gu Qingmeng was calling Zhang Shuqin at the door so affectionately. He was plotting against her before she even entered the door. He didn't even consider whether he had the brains to do that.
Pei Xinghe and his third brother Pei Zhenxing live in the east wing. If Wang Chunhua occupies the house, it means that she has occupied both houses. I guess this is her idea.
After all, Pei Zhenxing is in the army and rarely comes back all year round. If she and Pei Xinghe don't come back to live with him, wouldn't that be a waste for her?
"You have no right to this house! The house allocated to you is not for you. Once you build your house, get out! This yard belongs to me and your father."
Zhang Shuqin was disappointed. It was impossible for the second brother not to know about such a big thing! Wang Chunhua was like the knife in the second brother's hand, stabbing wherever he pointed. This was the second brother's plan, he wanted the east wing.
"Mom, we're having a hard time. You can't just ignore your two grandsons. These half-grown kids are eating me out of money. How can we afford to build a house? Pei Zhen and Pei Hong will need wives in the future. Everything costs money!"
Wang Chunhai began to cry poor. After more than ten years, this yard belonged to their family. The eldest son had no son and had no right to fight for the house. The third son was promising and joined the army. They probably would not come back after their parents died!
The fourth son is not very successful but he has found a rich wife. She will probably follow them back to the city in the future. He can't compete with them for the house in the countryside. He just needs to keep an eye on his eldest sister-in-law and prevent her from giving birth to a son.
"If you can give birth, you must be able to raise it. One generation cannot take care of two generations. You want to use my house to support my son? That's impossible."
Zhang Shuqin took a deep breath. How could she not feel bad for her two grandchildren? How many eggs had they stolen from the house? She had spoken out that time because she saw the two children were hungry, so they ate the eggs, but good children had been taught bad habits.
Wang Chunhua didn't dare to look her mother-in-law in the eye. She was very scared. The man only asked her to ask Pei Xinghe if he would live at home after marriage. He didn't let her mention the house. The man repeatedly told her to take her time to plan the house.
Now their mother-in-law knows that they want a house. It's all Gu Qingmeng's fault. If it weren't for this vixen, how could she have let the secret slip? If the man knew, he would definitely be angry with her.
"Mom, I don't dare anymore. I just said it out of spite. Jianshe doesn't know. Please don't tell him, or he will beat me."
How could Zhang Shuqin believe Wang Chunhua’s lies?
It is true that she blurted out the secret, but how could she say that Pei Jianshe was unaware of it?
That's impossible.
"Aunt, don't be angry. Xinghe told me that you will live with us from now on, and grandma will live with us too. You don't have to go to work next spring, I will support you."
She had wanted to talk about not going to work for a long time. Now she was engaged to Pei Xinghe and the wedding date was set! She was finally qualified to say this. Zhang Shuqin was not young anymore. She had been shocked by anger some time ago. The doctor's orders were to take good care of her and not do strenuous work. Labor was very tiring. They had the conditions, so there was no reason to make the elderly so tired!
Also, Aunt Shuqin is really good to her, and she also wants to be filial to the elderly.
"Why should you support me? Your uncle can support me by working, and I also have pension money from my four sons. You don't have to worry about us." Zhang Shuqin immediately smiled.
The fourth brother has good taste. The wife he found is not only beautiful and capable, but also filial.
"Is this Pei Zhenxing's house? There's a telegram from your family."
