After lunch, Pei Guoan consciously cleaned up the dishes and washed them. Li Miaomiao took out the things she brought from the provincial capital for her parents-in-law.
"Miao Miao, you asked someone to bring back so many things last time, why are you buying so many for us this time? You earn your money through hard work, it's not easy to come by, save it for yourself and don't waste it on us two old people, it's not worth it."
"Mom, what you said is true. At your age, it's time to enjoy your life. Besides, now that Pei Guoan is back, your future will only get better and better. Don't be reluctant."
Hearing what Li Miaomiao said, the old couple unconsciously showed a few comfortable smiles on their faces.
"That's right. Now that the second son is back, your life will only get better and better. Your mother is right. You are a blessed person, and the days of happiness are yet to come."
There was no logic in what Old Lady Pei said, but Li Miaomiao just listened to it as long as her mother-in-law was happy.
"By the way, I've sent a letter to the fourth brother. Don't cook tonight. Let's all go to my place for dinner. It's rare for the second brother to be back. Let's all get together."
"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll come over early this afternoon to help."
"No need, I can handle it. There are also the eldest and third daughters-in-law. You just need to rest well. You took such a long car ride back early in the morning and have been busy preparing lunch until now. You must be exhausted."
As Old Mrs. Pei said this, her face full of heartache, she looked Li Miaomiao up and down, and she and her beloved grandson Pei Yifan had the same idea.
"You've been in the provincial capital for so many days, and I've made you worry about so many things. Look how tired and thin you are. You must make good use of yourself when you come back."
"Mom, I'm fine. I'm not tired at all."
"How could I not be tired? Let me tell you, we have such a big village, and so many people put together, but we're not as good as you. After worrying about village affairs, you have to worry about things outside. But this can't be said to be a bad thing. Everyone in the village is very grateful to you now. The eldest brother's wife, that evil woman, used to slander you and ruin your reputation. But now, everyone sees what you have done for the village, and no one will believe those words anymore."
"Mom, other people have their own opinions. I don't care what they say. As long as you and Dad always understand and support me, I'm content."
"You don't care, that's because you're generous, but we can't stand hearing others say that about you. You're such a good woman, and no other wife in the village can compare to you in both ability and filial piety. But I don't have to worry about it now. If anyone says anything bad about you, the village chief and Accountant Wu won't tolerate it. They treat you like a treasure in the village now."
Li Miaomiao is well aware of this. Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu now have a mysterious trust in her. They support whatever she says without hesitation.
The fact that Pei Guoan was not dead and had returned not only required notifying his own family, but also reporting to the village and completing some formalities. After all, Pei Guoan had been deregistered as a dead person, and if he wanted to return to the village to live again, he had to report to the county public security bureau.
Pei Guoan went to Zhang Degen, and the news spread out soon, causing an uproar in the village.
No one expected that Pei Guoan was not dead and was brought back by Li Miaomiao.
Many people were still wondering why Pei Guoan didn't come back before, and had to wait until Li Miaomiao went to the provincial capital before coming back with him. Only when they knew that Pei Guoan had lost his memory did they say, "So that's why."
"Being a Guoan daughter-in-law has finally found happiness after all the hardships."
"That's right. This is a blessing. Guoan's wife is kind and has done so much for the village. God is watching and has let Guoan come back."
"Grandma, please stop talking about superstitions like God. It's not good if others hear it."
"I'm right, isn't that the truth?"
It was rare for anything to happen in the village, and even a small matter could cause everyone to talk about it for a long time, let alone such a big thing as Pei Guoan coming back alive. The whole village was in an uproar, and every household was discussing this matter.
Li Miaomiao didn't care how much of a shock Pei Guoan's return had brought to the village. She was now happy about earning 50,000 survival points.
As soon as she got the 50,000 survival points, her level rose several levels and she became a gold member. The system mall opened up a lot of permissions, and the free storage space also increased to 20 square meters. She instantly became a landlord from a poor peasant.
But before she had time to check, Li Miaomiao became worried again when she saw Pei Guoan packing up his things.
How are we going to stay tonight? It's just this room, and it has a hole in the wall.
"Why was I so lazy back then? If I had renovated a few more rooms in the house, I wouldn't have to worry about this now."
Ling Xiaoling listened to the host's words and said earnestly, "Knowing this earlier is priceless. Host, you must learn from this lesson and complete more tasks in the future, so that you won't face this dilemma."
The system never misses any opportunity to lecture her.
"I'm not worried. At worst, I can just sleep in one room. There's nowhere else to sleep in this house except here. Anyway, Pei Yifan is here, so I don't have to worry about Pei Guoan doing anything inappropriate to me."
Li Miaomiao is Li Miaomiao after all. She was only worried for a few seconds and immediately got over it.
Ling Xiaoling now admires the host's optimistic attitude.
When Pei Guoan was packing up, he also thought of the same question. However, after spending these few days together, he got to know Li Miaomiao more and more and became more familiar with her. He admitted that he was moved and did not mind being with Li Miaomiao. He even felt a little happy in his heart.
Since they are husband and wife and have no plans to divorce, they will live together sooner or later. It's just that Li Miaomiao had shown it before, and Pei Guoan didn't want to force her. It's fine for them to be together naturally now.
But when Li Miaomiao came over to eat in the evening, Mrs. Pei pulled Li Miaomiao aside.
"Now that Guoan is back, it's time for you two to cultivate your relationship. Why don't you let Xiaofan live with us? You can hurry up and give Xiaofan a brother or sister, so that Xiaofan won't be so lonely."
The mother-in-law was too impatient. Li Miaomiao hid the embarrassment and guilt in her heart.
"Mom, no need. We have plenty of space."
Just kidding, Li Miaomiao also pointed at Pei Yifan as a shield, so that Pei Guoan would not do anything excessive, and also to prevent herself from being tempted by Pei Guoan's masculine beauty, in case her brain did something hot and then accidentally fired a gun...
"Host, isn't this just right?"
Li Miaomiao rolled her eyes at Ling Xiaoling: "Everything has a process, and we have to proceed step by step. Besides, I haven't decided yet. Should I be a fake couple with Pei Guoan, or a real couple?"
"Host, you don't have to say it, I understand."
