"This tastes really good, no wonder it's so expensive, it makes sense." Old Mrs. Pei smacked her lips and said, she felt a little unsatisfied. This small piece of cake was enough for Old Mrs. Pei to eat in one bite.
Pei Yifan handed over another piece of cake, but Old Lady Pei refused to eat any more: "Grandma has already eaten it, you keep it for yourself, it would be a waste to let Grandma eat it."
"Grandma, mom has some more. If I want to eat some, I can just ask her. I brought this specially for you and grandpa." Pei Yifan said as he stuffed a small bag of pastries into Grandma Pei's arms and refused to take it back no matter what.
Old Mrs. Pei felt so warm in her heart, and even Old Man Pei was very satisfied looking at Pei Yifan. After all, he was a descendant of the Pei family and knew how to be filial to them.
When Zhou Fang saw this scene, she felt even more sad.
The pastry is white and looks delicious. The Pei family hasn't split up yet, so why doesn't she have a share? Why does Li Miaomiao get to eat it all alone? Especially in such a hot sun, they are working here, but Li Miaomiao is lying comfortably at home. Isn't that infuriating!
Zhou Fang was in a bad mood. When she went back to eat at noon, she was frowning and looked dissatisfied with everything.
It was especially amazing when I came back in the afternoon and smelled the faint aroma of meat wafting from the kitchen.
"Oh my God, I don't want to live anymore. Why is my life so miserable? I work so hard in the fields, while some people eat meat at home. I can't even have a bowl of soup. What's the point of living like this?"
This time it wasn't Li Miaomiao's intention. She even opened the doors and windows to ventilate. After all, there was still some time before the separation, and it wouldn't be good for her to make a fuss every time she cooked. She clearly didn't smell anything, but Zhou Fang could actually smell it. Could it be that she had a dog's nose?
Seeing Zhou Fang slumped on the ground, crying and shouting like a big show, Li Miaomiao decided to separate the family as soon as possible.
Old Mrs. Pei also looked unhappy, but she couldn't let Zhou Fang continue to make such a fuss. She was already a mother of several children, so she shouldn't feel ashamed to do so.
"Okay, stop embarrassing yourself. The second son's wife eats what she brought from her parents' home. If you bring something from your parents' home, no one will miss you."
"How can this be the same? We all work in the fields, while the second brother's family doesn't work and just eats and drinks for free. They are all supported by us. Why shouldn't we share the good things with everyone?"
What Zhou Fang said was not without reason. Although Old Mrs. Pei did not say anything, she looked at Li Miaomiao, obviously hoping that Li Miaomiao would be more sensible. Even if not all the things that the Li family brought over were taken out, at least some of them would be taken out as a gesture to prevent the eldest wife from continuing to make trouble.
Doesn’t Li Miaomiao understand what Old Lady Pei means?
Of course I understand!
But she didn't want to follow Mrs. Pei's wishes and keep the peace. She curled her lips and sneered:
"What a joke! Why should I share the things my parents brought me with everyone? As for eating and drinking for free, am I not the daughter-in-law of your Pei family? The Pei family has never been divided, and our Pei Guoan has made many contributions to the family in the past. Isn't it right for you to support me now? What's more, I have given your Pei family a grandson!"
After saying this, Li Miaomiao felt that she was indeed the mother of the villain.
Zhou Fang didn't even need to get angry now. Old Mrs. Pei clutched her chest, nearly going crazy with anger: "What a sin! Second son, why did you die so early? You left this mess behind. What are we two old people going to do?"
Li Miaomiao saw that Old Lady Pei had such a bad face, and she was really afraid that Old Lady Pei would get hurt by anger. She had read those words in novels, and now she was using them, she didn't expect them to be so powerful.
If she really makes Old Lady Pei angry enough to cause harm, then she will be in big trouble. She just wants to divide the family, not to make Old Lady Pei angry. Pei Guoan will definitely come back to settle the score with her when he comes back, and she will feel guilty about it.
Fortunately, Mrs. Pei was able to withstand the blow better than Li Miaomiao thought. Although she looked unhappy, there were no other problems.
"Mom, I didn't want to say this originally, but the situation now is so bad. We might as well split up." Pei Guotai said in a muffled voice. He hadn't intended to bring it up so soon, but Li Miaomiao was really too unbecoming. Not only would his wife feel uncomfortable seeing it, but he would too.
"Brother, the family should not be divided while our parents are still alive. Moreover, our second brother is gone, leaving only our second sister-in-law and her son. If the family is divided, how will they live?"
Pei Guosheng, who usually doesn't talk much, spoke after hearing this.
However, Chen Xuexiang's eyes flickered with a hint of hope.
If the family splits up, the three branches are all hardworking and diligent, so they won't have to worry about having a hard time and won't be suppressed by the eldest branch. This is actually a good thing.
Chen Xuexiang knew in her heart that if Li Miaomiao had not gone too far, the first wife might not be willing to split up the family. The first wife had always treated the third wife as hard labor.
"I'll think about this again!"
Old Man Pei has been really dissatisfied with Li Miaomiao's behavior these two days. What's more, Old Man Pei's considerations are different from Old Lady Pei's. He doesn't want to disappoint the eldest brother, as they will have to rely on the eldest brother to make a living in the future.
Seeing that Old Man Pei's tone had softened a bit, everyone present was happy except Old Lady Pei and Pei Guosheng, who looked unhappy.
Of course, except for the little guy Pei Yifan.
Li Miaomiao was even more delighted in her heart. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly. As long as Old Man Pei was willing to give in, the time for separation would not be far away.
In front of everyone, Pei Yifan, the little boy, behaved very sensible and well-behaved. As soon as he returned to the room, he pulled Li Miaomiao to "plot".
"Mom, I knew that my uncle and aunt had bad intentions and wanted to get rid of my mother and me. We have to think of a solution quickly. Dividing the family now is the worst for our second branch. I'm young and can't do much work. Even if I go to the fields to earn a few centimeters, I won't make much. And you, mom, are even worse. You're not cut out for work. We'll starve in the future."
Li Miaomiao saw Pei Yifan's wrinkled face and knew that he was really worried about the separation of the family.
"No, I have to go find my grandparents. They've always loved me the most. If I go and beg them, maybe we won't have to split up the family."
Seeing that Pei Yifan did what he said and was really going to go find Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei, Li Miaomiao quickly stopped him. She didn't doubt Tuanzi's ability to do things at all.
"Mom, don't be so willful. If we divide the family, our lives won't be as good as they are now. You don't know that earning work points is not that easy. Even if we want to divide the family, we have to wait until I am older and can support us."
"Don't go. Even if we split up, we can still make a living if we work hard. Don't worry, Mom can support you, so that we don't have to stay together and quarrel over trivial matters every day."
