Chapter 14: There is a time when people are reasonable



"Mom, are you sure you can do this? You've never worked in the fields to earn work points before."

Pei Yifan didn't want to doubt his biological mother, but this matter was different. It concerned the future life of the mother and son and was not something to be taken lightly.

Pei Yifan's expression was so obvious, how could Li Miaomiao not see it?

"You little brat, you actually dare to doubt your own mother, you're asking for a beating!" Li Miaomiao said, pointing her finger at Pei Yifan's forehead, feeling both angry and amused.

Pei Yifan looked at Li Miaomiao with some doting and some helplessness: "Mom, we have to be more practical. If we really split up, even if grandpa and grandma are partial to me, they can't help me all the time. Now that we are all together, we should eat and drink together. My dad only got into this for the sake of the village. No one can treat us mother and son unfairly. If we split up, you still have to earn your own work points and do your own housework."

Li Miaomiao listened to what Xiaotuanzi said. The latter half of the sentence was exactly what the original owner often said. It seemed that his values were a little distorted, but Li Miaomiao had no intention of correcting it. She did not intend to raise her son to be so upright. She would suffer the consequences herself, but at least he would not become a villain.

The little guy's mouth was chattering so much that Li Miaomiao almost shook.

"No, we still have to separate."

Thinking about the mess on the floor and the whole family to live with in the future, Li Miaomiao made up her mind.

The system gave her a deadline of half a year to find Pei Guoan. If she didn't split up the family now, she would not have the final say in the division.

Although Li Miaomiao's understanding of Pei Guoan was based on the content in the book and was very one-sided, she felt that he was a very strong man who was not easy to mess with, especially when Pei Guoan had lost his memory. At that time, it would be even less likely that the two elders would agree to separate the family.

If you want to split up, now is the best time.

As for her idle life, she will get a lot of food when the family is divided. She can then find a less busy job to earn work points. She can still make a living and it won't be a problem to hold on for half a year.

Half a year later, Pei Guoan came back.

Pei Guoan just lost his memory, which did not affect his intelligence, nor did it affect his ability to work and earn work points. It was no problem for him to support the mother and son.

Li Miaomiao was calculating quickly. Since she had to get Pei Guoan back, she naturally had to make use of this man.

"Mom, have you really decided to split up the family?"

Pei Yifan could hear the determination in his mother's tone, and he looked at Li Miaomiao with helplessness and a bit of indulgence, as if he was looking at a willful and disobedient child.

Li Miaomiao felt a little embarrassed by her son's gaze, but she still nodded firmly.

"This is settled, don't mess with it."

Although he was worried, he couldn't persuade his own mother in the end. Pei Yifan watched as Old Lady Pei asked someone to call his fourth uncle and aunt back from the city, obviously to discuss the division of the family property. He sat on the door frame and sighed leisurely.

This kind of mother is really hard to take care of. Why is she so willful?

In the evening, Pei Guoqiang and his wife heard that the old couple were going to separate, so they hurried back.

"Mom and Dad, what's going on? Why are we splitting up for no reason?"

Pei Guoqiang asked with a frown. He was at work when he heard the message from home. He knew something must have happened at home, so he hurried back with his wife after get off work.

Old Mrs. Pei sighed, "As the tree grows, so too does the branches. Now that you're all married and have children, if we continue to live together like this, there will inevitably be some bumps and bruises. Rather than hurting the relationship between brothers, it's better to separate."

Pei Guoqiang was able to go to the city to work as a worker. Except for Pei Guoan, he was the most active among his brothers. When he heard what his mother said, he guessed something and glanced at the eldest brother's family.

The eldest couple must have been up to something again. They were the greediest and most cunning of people. Ever since something happened to the second brother, they had not been willing to support the second sister-in-law and nephew.

But they didn’t think about how their second brother treated them when he was at home?

Pei Guotai felt a little guilty when he was looked at by Pei Guoqiang

"Fourth brother, why are you looking at me? It was our parents' decision to separate the family."

Pei Guoqiang did not refute, but just sneered, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Li Miaomiao looked at the eye contact dispute between Pei Guoqiang and Pei Guotai. There was not much description about Pei Guoqiang in the book. She only knew that later on, with the help of the male protagonist, the brothers of the Pei family all lived a good life, especially Pei Guoqiang.

"Boss, go and invite the village chief to dinner and help us preside over the division of the family."

Old man Pei was also a man who made decisions quickly. Once he had made up his mind, he was not willing to delay it even for a few more days. The fourth brother and his wife had to go to work the next day, so he simply divided the house up in the evening.

Even though the family was going to split up, for the last dinner, Li Miaomiao was still the same as usual, not planning to do anything and just waiting to eat and drink.

"Random mission. Assist everyone in preparing the last dinner before the separation. Leave a good impression in front of everyone and instill a correct outlook on life in the villain. Completing the mission will reward you with 300 survival points."

Li Miaomiao returned to the room and was lying down when she heard the system's voice ringing in her mind.

Li Miaomiao had been reluctant to get up, but thinking of the seven days and nine hours of survival remaining, she resigned herself to her fate and headed to the kitchen. This mission wasn't difficult; three hundred survival points would give her another day to live.

Alas, survival is not easy.

Li Miaomiao sighed in her heart and went to the kitchen. She saw everyone was busy. Even the fourth daughter-in-law Liu Lin, who had rushed back from the city, was helping to wash vegetables and light the fire in the kitchen.

When they saw Li Miaomiao come in, everyone except Liu Lin was very surprised. They thought that Li Miaomiao had come to the wrong place. Otherwise, when would Li Miaomiao come to the kitchen except to cook for herself?

"Second daughter-in-law, what are you doing?"

Old Mrs. Pei asked with some surprise, thinking that Li Miaomiao was up to something again and that was why she came to the kitchen at this time. There was a hint of vigilance in her tone and she felt a little annoyed.

Fortunately, the family business is about to be divided. From now on, the second daughter-in-law will be able to deal with things on her own, and she won’t bother to care about any trouble she causes. At most, she will give her lovely grandson some subsidies, so that the second daughter-in-law won’t let her lovely grandson suffer.

"Mom, we're going to split up soon. I was ignorant in the past and caused a lot of trouble for everyone. This is the last reunion dinner before the split, and I'm here to help everyone."

Although Li Miaomiao may be a layperson, she still understands the ways of the world. Since the system requires it, she has done the work and does not mind making it look good for the sake of appearance.

Not only Mrs. Pei, but everyone else looked at Li Miaomiao with surprise, their eyes almost overflowing with surprise.

Li Miaomiao must have taken the wrong medicine. She can actually be so reasonable at times.

However, Liu Lin, after listening to what Li Miaomiao said, felt that one had to make one's own judgment on everything and not just listen to what others said. Everyone said that Li Miaomiao was not good enough, but from what she said, it was clear that she was a very sensible girl. She might be a little lazy, but not that bad.
