Chapter 398
"Who cares whose daughter-in-law he likes?" Peng's father said in a bad tone, "The other party hasn't divorced yet. Does he want to snatch her away and put her in jail?"
"That's not what I meant. I was thinking..." Mother Peng looked in the direction Peng Jianxiang left and said, "Is Jianxiang going to look for that woman?"
Father Peng's blood boiled at the thought of this possibility: "It's New Year's Day, can't he just be quiet and not cause us trouble?"
The more Peng's mother thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and the more worried she became.
She said, "I'll go out and take a look."
Mr. Peng did not object and smoked sullenly.
Peng's mother went out.
Peng Jianxiang was wandering around, not wanting to go anywhere in particular, but as he walked, he involuntarily walked into the slum.
At this time, after the reunion, the children all came out to set off firecrackers and play. The sound of firecrackers and children's laughter were everywhere, making it festive and lively.
Peng Jianxiang felt empty inside. He missed his son and Ye Fuyun. If the three of them could be together for the New Year, how warm and lively it would be.
But Ye Fuyun didn't want to marry him. He didn't understand. She could clearly get more happiness from him. She even gave birth to his child. Why couldn't she divorce Wu Longfei and marry him? Was he with her just to have children?
Peng Jianxiang didn't want to think about it too much; the more he thought about it, the angrier he'd get.
Before he knew it, he had reached the vicinity of the Wu family.
The door of Wu's house was closed, but the light in the house was on, which looked much warmer than the light in his house.
He seemed to vaguely hear a child's laughter coming from the house. It was the laughter of his son.
Peng Jianxiang looked at the Wu family and stood there for a long time.
Zhou Jinmei, who was teasing her eldest grandson in the house, accidentally discovered Peng Jianxiang.
She frowned and said unhappily, "Why is that widower here again?"
Ye Fuyun, who was cleaning up the dishes, paused.
"Who is it, Mom?" Wu Longfei asked as he moved closer to the window.
"Yes, it's that man, a widower from the family compound next door. Recently, I see him coming to our compound from time to time, standing there looking at our house. Do you think he is sick? Why is he always looking at our house?" Zhou Jinmei said in an unhappy tone.
"He may not be looking at our house. We are not the only family here." Wu Longfei said.
"I know, but the way he looks at us is like he's looking at our house, which makes people feel uncomfortable," said Zhou Jinmei.
"Or I'll go out and ask him why he came to our slum." Wu Longfei said.
Before Zhou Jinmei could speak, Ye Fuyun hurriedly said, "Don't go!"
Zhou Jinmei, Wu Longfei and other people from the Wu family looked at her in confusion.
Ye Fuyun knew she was too impatient. She opened her mouth and explained, "That man doesn't look normal. I'm afraid you'll get into a conflict with him if you go out. It's New Year's Day, so that's not good."
Zhou Jinmei felt that Ye Fuyun's words made sense, and said to Wu Longfei, "You'd better not go out. That guy really doesn't look normal. What decent person would come to our slum all day and stare at us? It's New Year's Day, so it's better not to cause trouble."
Wu Longfei also thought this was reasonable, nodded and agreed.
Zhou Jinmei pulled the curtains tighter, not wanting the widower to see into the room.
Peng Jianxiang noticed that Zhou Jinmei had drawn the curtains tighter, and he felt a mixture of sneer and coldness in his heart.
What did the Wu family think of him? Were they guarding against him like a monster? This was clearly their precious son, his own biological son.
Peng Jianxiang turned around and went home.
Peng's mother, who was originally following Peng Jianxiang, saw Peng Jianxiang suddenly turn around, so she quickly found a corner and hid with her back to Peng Jianxiang.
Only after hearing Peng Jianxiang's footsteps walking away did Peng's mother come out.
She looked at Peng Jianxiang's back as he left, and then looked in the direction he had been looking at.
Peng Jianxiang had just stood there looking for a long time. However, there were several houses there, and Peng's mother was not sure which one he was looking at.
Could it be that the person Peng Jianxiang likes is in those houses?
…
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Fuyue took Haohao Ranran and Qiqi to the small Western-style building.
"Happy New Year." Ye Fuyue said when she saw Zhong Lan and Cui Li.
"Happy New Year." Zhong Lan and Cui Li said with a smile.
A little white dog came to Ye Fuyue's feet, wagging its short tail and whimpering.
"Is this the dog you raised?" Ye Fuyue said in surprise.
Zhong Lan smiled and said, "I went back to my parents' home on the first day of the new year. A bitch had just given birth there, so I brought one home. It had just been weaned."
The little white dog is small and fat. It wiggles its butt when it walks, and looks so cute.
"Her name is Xiaobai. Mom said that when she grows up, she will be able to guard the house for us." Yao Zaoer said.
"So cute." Ye Fuyue picked up Xiaobai.
Xiaobai stretched out his tongue and tried to lick her hand, but couldn't.
"Mom, mom, I want to hold Xiaobai too." Haohao, Ranran and Qiqi rushed to say.
Ye Fuyue handed Xiaobai to Qiqi: "When you hold it or put it down, be gentle. Don't drop it."
Qiqi held Xiaobai in her arms and stroked the fur on its head and back: "She is so small, so soft, and so cute!"
Haohao and Ranran also reached out to touch Xiaobai.
"So cute!" Ranran said, "Mom, I want to have a dog too."
Haohao and Qiqi's eyes lit up and they both nodded heavily.
"You guys want to raise one too." Ye Fuyue said, "Who's going to take care of the dog, pick up its poop, ask it for food, and walk it?"
"Do you still have to pick up poop?" Haohao frowned with some disgust.
Huandi said, "Yes. Otherwise it will poop all over the house, making it dirty and easy to step on."
Ye Fuyue said, "We have a yard. You have to get the dog into the habit of peeing and pooping in the yard. You can't let it poop in the house. Don't underestimate dogs. If you want to keep a dog, you have to take on the corresponding responsibilities and teach it to go to the toilet in the yard."
Haohao was a little embarrassed. Could such a small dog understand what they were saying?
Ran Ran said, "I want Dad to teach the dog with us."
Haohao and Qiqi's eyes lit up and they nodded.
"Just think it over." Ye Fuyue said, "But you need to go back and ask grandma for her opinion on whether you can keep a dog."
After school started, Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao wouldn't be home for long. If they really got a dog, Chen Guifeng would definitely take care of it more. The three children would just be there for the novelty and help out occasionally, so Chen Guifeng's opinion was the most important.
Haohaoranran and Qiqi both nodded: "Okay."
Lai Bao said, "We made a nest for Xiao Bai. Do you want to take a look?"
"Okay." Haohaoranran and Qiqi responded happily.
