“Jingzhou, you’re still young and don’t understand matters of the heart. Some women are very seductive and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. They’ll seduce a man first, then demand this and that, or even empty his house. You’ve never experienced love, so if you encounter a woman like that, she’ll seduce you without fail. I’m your older sister, would I ever harm you?” Wenrou said gently.
Yang Lianghui emptied her savings. After several years of marriage, she had no savings at all and had to use all her money to support the family. If she had to support the family herself, what would be the point of having a man?
Wenrou knew that she couldn't reason with her in a short time, so she said, "Anyway, if you have a female comrade you like, bring her home for dinner. I can tell whether she's a good person or a bad one just by looking at her."
Wen Xinchun smiled faintly, "Jingzhou, I'll listen to your older sister."
Pei Jingzhou nodded perfunctorily, "Okay, then I'll listen to my eldest sister."
Wenrou was in a great mood. "Then I'll go home first. Come to my house in a couple of days, and I'll cook you something delicious."
The next morning, Wenxi and the other two returned to the Pei family home. Upon learning that Wenrou had returned the previous night, Wenxi asked, "You didn't tell me I was back, did you?"
The fourth brother shook his head. "No."
"That's good." Wen Xi said with relief.
She wasn't afraid of seeing Wenrou, but rather she didn't want to. Bringing their conflict into the open would definitely make her parents uncomfortable.
She'd already hired someone to take revenge on Wenrou and Yang Lianghui, so she didn't want to waste any more time on Wenrou.
Two days later, Pei Jingzhou went to Wenrou's house with some things. Wenrou had invited him, so it would be unreasonable not to go. He only brought things for the children, pastries and toys, and didn't bring anything for the adults. He didn't want to give the adults any benefits.
One is the older sister and the other is the younger sister. Although they are both his flesh and blood, he raised the younger sister from a young age.
In Pei Jingzhou's memory, Wenrou never cared about her younger siblings; she only ever had eyes for herself. Therefore, his feelings for his older and younger sisters were naturally different.
Don't blame him for being biased, Wenrou. Only someone with a brain full of water would side with her after what she did.
Wenrou didn't tell Yang Lianghui that Pei Jingzhou was back because she wanted to see Yang Lianghui's guilty look when he suddenly saw Pei Jingzhou. She had already caught three pieces of evidence that Yang Lianghui had women outside, but she just didn't have time to find out who those women were!
After all, it's the end of the year, and everyone at work is busy. When they get a holiday, they'll be busy preparing for the New Year, so there's no time to follow up on Yang Lianghui. Finding someone to do this for her would cost money, and it wouldn't be cheap.
All she wants to do now is save money as quickly as possible. After all, all her salary over the years has been used to support her family, and she doesn't have much savings. If it weren't for the fact that she suddenly had a few hundred yuan in her pocket, she really wouldn't be able to afford it.
Men like Yang Lianghui are truly despicable. He slowly drains you dry, leaving you penniless and unable to survive on your own, until you have no choice but to obey him.
Fortunately, she suddenly realized that she still had a few hundred yuan in her pocket. She didn't help Yang Lianghui get a promotion and a raise. Otherwise, if Yang Lianghui had been promoted, he would definitely have married a beautiful woman, while she, because she had no money, wouldn't have been able to support her child and would have had to let the child live with his stepmother.
All I can say is that Yang Lianghui is incredibly shrewd.
"Jingzhou, you're here! Come in quickly." Wenrou opened the door and was overjoyed to see Pei Jingzhou standing outside.
Pei Jingzhou came in carrying pastries and toys, and was puzzled when he didn't see Yang Lianghui. "Where's my brother-in-law? Isn't he off today? Why isn't he home?"
“Your brother-in-law went out to buy groceries. Although we don’t know when you’ll be free to come, we definitely need to be prepared. Otherwise, how can I cook something delicious for you?” Wenrou made Pei Jingzhou a cup of tea and said, “Jingzhou, sit down and rest first. Your brother-in-law has been out for a while and should be back soon.”
“Okay.” Pei Jingzhou put his things down and then sat down to drink tea.
The two waited until noon before Yang Lianghui returned. When Yang Lianghui saw his brother-in-law sitting upright at the table like a pine tree, his heart immediately jumped.
His brother-in-law hits really hard. He wonders if Wenrou has been talking about him to his brother-in-law. It seems he can't go to see Lin Xiaorou for the next few days, otherwise his brother-in-law will definitely punish him if he finds out.
It doesn't matter if he gets punished, but we can't let Lin Xiaorou get dragged into this!
"Brother-in-law, didn't you go out to buy groceries? Why are you still here? If you don't want to treat me to a meal, just say so. Why waste my time?" With a 'bang,' Pei Jingzhou threw the teacup he was holding onto the table, staring coldly at Yang Lianghui.
He actually hid so much money from his older sister! It seems he doesn't even contribute to household expenses!
"I……"
Just as Yang Lianghui was about to say something, Wenrou patted him gently and said, "Give me the money, I'll go to the market to buy groceries. You stay home and have a good chat with my brother."
Yang Lianghui took out ten yuan and gave it to Wenrou.
Wenrou patted Yang Lianghui again, "You think you can treat my brother to ten yuan? Give it all to me."
Under Pei Jingzhou's gaze, Yang Lianghui reluctantly took out the remaining fifty yuan he had on him and gave it to Wenrou. This was the money he had planned to give to Lin Xiaorou tomorrow, but Pei Jingzhou came over, so he couldn't go to see Lin Xiaorou tomorrow. Therefore, he would give the money to Wenrou first.
Wenrou went to the kitchen to get a lunchbox and a basket, then went out. Looking at the fifty yuan in her hand, Wenrou was extremely proud. From now on, she would swindle fifty yuan from Yang Lianghui every month.
She has been supporting the family for so many years, now it's Yang Lianghui's turn to support the family.
Besides, it's a man's responsibility to provide for his wife and support the family. How did it become her responsibility in her case?
Should the man give birth to the child?
It's too late to buy any vegetables at the market at this time. Even if you could, you wouldn't be able to cook them until late in the day. So Wenrou went to a state-run restaurant and ordered two meat dishes and twenty steamed buns to go. This way, she could save a lot of money!
Back home, Yang Lianghui saw that Wenrou had only brought back groceries and hadn't bought any vegetables. He was initially about to get angry, but now he found everything about Wenrou disagreeable. If it weren't for the fact that Wenrou had been helping him, he wouldn't have even thought about...
But seeing Pei Jingzhou staring at him with a cold gaze, Yang Lianghui didn't dare to say a word. The feeling of Pei Jingzhou's punches landing on his flesh was not pleasant.
Even after so many years, he still feels a dull ache in the place where he was hit.
"There were too many people at the supply and marketing cooperative. Before I could even squeeze in, my money was stolen. It was twenty yuan that I had borrowed from an acquaintance!" Wenrou reached out her hand to Yang Lianghui. "I need to take the money over after the meal. Give me twenty yuan."
