"Mom, I'm serious. I'm not kidding you. If you don't believe me, I can go to the village chief and get the document signed."
Even if she doesn't support him, Pei Guoan still has to support him. Li Miaomiao knows very well that the system will not allow her and Pei Guoan to divorce, but she has to rely on the system to survive.
Li Miaomiao is a realist and has no intention of fighting against fate. After all, her life was given to her by chance, and paying a certain price is acceptable.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? We said it when we split up the family. When your father and I get old, we'll take turns raising us. There's no reason for you to bear the burden alone. It's already hard enough for you to raise Xiaofan."
It's not that Old Mrs. Pei doesn't want to follow Li Miaomiao, but she doesn't want to add burden to Li Miaomiao and her son. She now treats Li Miaomiao more and more as her own daughter. Sometimes she even puts her grandson behind her, so she has to think more about her and can't be so selfish.
"Mom, if it were before, I wouldn't have the ability and wouldn't have said this, but now I'm a technician at the soap factory, and my life is getting better and better. I can support you two."
"That won't do. That doesn't make sense. Even if we old couple can't help you, we can't become a burden to you."
"Mom, it's not a burden. We are a family and we rely on each other. You love me so much and treat me better than your own daughter. Although I don't say it, I remember it in my heart. I am willing to take care of you in your old age and do what others do. If they want to be filial, I won't stop them. If they don't want to, you still have Xiaofan and me, so don't worry about it."
Li Miaomiao's words touched Mrs. Pei's heart, and she couldn't help but tear up.
"Second daughter-in-law, if you have this heart, your father and I would be willing to die immediately. I have so many sons and daughters-in-law, but I didn't expect that the most filial one is you."
The third and fourth sons, although filial, have never expressed their intention to take the old couple to live with them.
"Mom, don't say things like that anymore. You will all live well and live long lives. You will also see Xiaofan get married and have children."
"Oh, okay, I'll wait for that day."
Old Mrs. Pei still didn't plan to follow Li Miaomiao, but she had already made up her mind to treat Li Miaomiao as her own daughter in the future.
"Then it's settled. I'll work hard to make money and build a new house by the year after next. Then we can all live together as a family, and you won't have to worry about your sister-in-law living over there all the time."
Li Miaomiao is now close to Old Lady Pei, so she is not afraid to say certain things.
Mrs. Pei actually liked Li Miaomiao's straightforward temper: "Your sister-in-law is just confused. I'm too lazy to argue with her. She wouldn't dare to go too far."
"Just don't worry about it. If she goes too far, let me deal with her."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to go cook. It's getting late."
"Then make some more and call Dad over later so we can eat together. This way we don't have to cook when we get home."
Li Miaomiao knew that if she didn't ask, her father-in-law would definitely not come over for dinner. These old couple were really particular sometimes.
Mrs. Pei didn't bother to be polite with Li Miaomiao: "Okay, this saves me a lot of trouble."
Li Miaomiao heard this and said to Pei Yifan, "Xiaofan, go tell your grandfather to come over for dinner later."
After dinner at Li Miaomiao's place, the old couple washed up and lay down on the bed. Old Mrs. Pei told Old Man Pei what Li Miaomiao had said today.
"I didn't expect that the second son's wife would have such a heart. Even if Guoan was still there, it might not be able to do what the second son's wife did."
Old Man Pei was also shocked at this time. He was silent for a long time before he said, "The fact that the second son's wife has such a heart is better than anything else. For this reason, we must not let her suffer any grievances in the future. As for moving there, I agree with you. We can't add any burden to the second son's wife, not to mention that we can still do it now."
"Yes, the more the second son's wife behaves like this, the more we can't bear to hold her back. In fact, the second son's wife is still young. If she continues to live like this for the rest of her life, I can't blame Luo Ren."
At first, Mrs. Pei was wary of Li Miaomiao because she was afraid that she would have such thoughts, but now she is thinking about it herself.
"Let's wait and see. After all, we can wait until Xiaofan is a little older. If the second son's wife has such thoughts by then, we will help her. After all, she is still young and has a long life ahead of her."
"We'll wait and see. If that day ever comes, we'll take Xiaofan with us."
Speaking of this, the old couple felt heavy in their hearts again.
Early the next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Accountant Wu came over and asked Li Miaomiao for the soap drawings.
Li Miaomiao looked at the sky outside and thought, "Accountant Wu is really working hard!"
"Accountant Wu, isn't this too early?"
"Let's go to the county town on time. Let's go earlier and get things done sooner." Accountant Wu said enthusiastically, wishing he could go into the city immediately.
"Okay, I'll get the blueprints out right away."
Li Miaomiao gave the blueprint to Accountant Wu, took another nap, and then got up to go to the workshop.
When she arrived at the workshop, Li Miaomiao was busy for a while at the beginning. When she was almost done, she went back to the office, locked the door, took out a recliner from the system space, lay down on it, and fell asleep comfortably.
Tong County
Wang Cai was carrying a large bag of things in his hand, walking on his way home with his head held high.
This time he did not come back secretly, but obeyed the order of Jiu Ye
Jiu Ye told him to atone for his sins, and if he did his job well, his previous mistakes would be forgiven.
There is still a chance to turn things around, what else can Wang Cai say? Besides, this matter is actually not that difficult, it is just to find out the news about a woman.
"Acai, you're back?" Seeing her son coming back, the Queen Mother happily pulled him in, looked him up and down, with a look of heartache on her face.
"Mom, I'm back! Is your back pain better now? I brought you some ointment, it's said to be very effective for back pain."
"My son is filial. When you are away from home, take care of yourself and don't worry about home."
When the Queen Mother heard her son was so concerned about her, she smiled from ear to ear and pulled her son into the house.
When Wang's father came back in the evening, his face turned cold when he saw Wang Cai: "Humph, you, a useless person, still know how to come back!"
The Queen Mother was dissatisfied with what she heard: "Why do you say that about your son?"
"Am I wrong? He's been idling around all day, and he doesn't have a proper job. Who knows what he's doing outside? He can't just live a down-to-earth life!"
Wang's father was snorting angrily, but he couldn't help but glance at Wang Cai. Seeing that Wang Cai was in good spirits, he felt a little satisfied in his heart, but he still looked dissatisfied.
Seeing that Wang's father wanted to say something, Wang's mother was unhappy: "You better stop talking. Your son has finally come back, and you are going to make him run away again!"
After hearing this, Wang's father shut up in disappointment.
Seeing his parents like this, Wang Cai curled his lips and turned to ask his mother about the affairs of Fanglin Village.
