Chapter 21: Being Foolish at the Critical Moment



Pei Guotai said angrily that he would not let Zhou Fang rush to the front this time because he was really angry.

It was Pei Guosheng who actually suffered a loss in this matter. He worked no less hard than the eldest wife on weekdays. The eldest wife and her husband were usually cunning and dishonest. The two eldest sons went to school again. On the contrary, their family had the most labor and worked the hardest.

"It's fine to divide it this way. Life is lived by people. If something happens to the second brother, it's our duty as uncles to take care of the second sister-in-law and her son."

Pei Guotai was furious when he heard what Pei Guosheng said. The third brother was such a fool.

"Third brother, I won't stop you from being a saint, but don't drag me down. Speaking of the second brother, Li Miaomiao is lazy and always makes trouble. I've tolerated her for so long because of the second brother. I don't owe him anything."

"Brother, do you feel guilty about saying this? Although Second Sister-in-law is a little spoiled because of her family's pampering, she is not lazy. She made dinner tonight, and you enjoyed your meal so much. Isn't it inappropriate to slander a woman like Second Sister-in-law after putting down your bowl?"

Pei Guoqiang was really disappointed with his elder brother Pei Guotai. He spent little time at home and didn't really know much about what Li Miaomiao had done before. He had heard some things before, but when he came back this time and saw Li Miaomiao's performance, he felt that they were all rumors and could not be trusted.

Especially now, Pei Guoqiang felt that most of these rumors were caused by the eldest wife and her husband. In front of him, the eldest wife and her husband spoke so harshly, targeting the second sister-in-law, calling her lazy and wanting to get rid of her and her son, for fear that they would take advantage of him. Such appearance and attitude only made Pei Guoqiang stand on the side of the second wife even more.

"I said the second son's wife is very scheming. On weekdays, she doesn't even help to pick up the broom when it falls over. Today, she cooks a meal for the first time and thinks it's a great achievement. She is really scheming!" Zhou Fang said angrily after hearing Pei Guoqiang's words.

"Uncle, aunt, you are not allowed to say that about my mom! My dad is gone, but I am still here. No one is allowed to bully her!"

Pei Yifan saw that Li Miaomiao was being targeted by Pei Guotai and his wife, and yelled at them

What he hated most was someone bullying his mother, especially in the past few days. Although his mother seemed to have become a little stupid and sometimes refused to take advantage of him, he could also feel that his mother had become much closer to him and really liked him. She was becoming more and more like the mother he had expected. Such a mother made him want to protect her even more.

Although Pei Yifan is young, he is no less imposing in front of Pei Guotai and his wife, especially that stubborn look, which makes old man Pei and old lady Pei feel very distressed.

When I think of my second son who passed away at a young age, such an outstanding and filial son, my heart aches even more as he is gone just like that.

"If anyone dares to bully Xiaofan, I will fight him with my old bones!"

Old Mrs. Pei hugged Pei Yifan, her eyes red, and she looked at Pei Guoqiang and Zhou Fang with resentment.

Pei Guosheng and Pei Guoqiang were deeply moved when they saw this scene, and their expressions unconsciously showed a bit of condemnation and disapproval.

"We won't agree to that either. Second brother is gone, and I'm still his uncle. No one, not even brothers, can bully Xiaofan and his mother!"

"I have the same idea as the fourth one."

Pei Guosheng is usually a taciturn person who can't say a word even if you hit him hard. Even when he was bullied by the eldest wife, he just worked hard and never complained. But today, he said so many words and expressed his attitude in a firm manner.

Among those present, it was Li Miaomiao, who was protected by her son, who watched the scene with some clarity, wondering in her heart whether this situation was caused by the little guy's unintentional act or intentional.

The former is fine, but if it is the latter, then the little guy's mind is too scary.

Of course, she felt a little touched by being protected by her son. With such a son, what else could she be dissatisfied with?

As for the division of the family, there is no need to mention it. With this incident, the amount allocated to the second house will only be more, not less. She can be said to have won easily thanks to her son, and won everything without any effort.

Thinking of this, Li Miaomiao was a little bit proud.

As for whether the second wife should get so much?

Li Miaomiao would not refuse the benefits that came to her door, and would not miss them, especially in this difficult time, supplies are very important.

"Issuing the main mission. In order to establish a correct outlook on life and values for the villain, please refuse any unnecessary benefits and only take your share when the family is divided. Complete the mission and you will be rewarded with 1,000 survival points."

Sure enough, the dog system will not let her have an easy time.

Hearing the system's prompt, especially since this was the main task, Li Miaomiao felt depressed, but at the same time, she had a feeling that it was as she expected.

"Let's divide the family just as I said. If anyone objects, argues over a few small interests, and makes a big fuss, I'll kick him out of the house and he'll get nothing!"

There was no room for maneuver in what Old Man Pei said. The fragile and helpless look of his grandson, who had just become sensible, really hurt his heart.

No matter how unwilling Pei Guotai and his wife were, they knew that they could no longer go against the old man and the old lady's wishes. The old man was serious this time.

"Mom and Dad, stop talking. Let's divide the family business according to your wishes. Is that all that matters?"

Pei Guotai said this with a somewhat discouraged tone.

“No!”

Li Miaomiao, who had already won by lying down, stood up at this time and said with a very "sad and angry" mood

"Second daughter-in-law, do you have any other requests?"

Zhang Degen frowned. Although he asked this, he felt that Li Miaomiao was going too far.

"Uncle Degen, you underestimate me, don't you?"

Li Miaomiao then looked at Pei Guotai and his wife and said, "Don't worry, when the family is divided, I will only take the share that our second branch deserves. I won't ask for a single cent more than what's not mine. I, Li Miaomiao, still have some backbone."

Li Miaomiao said this on the surface, but she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Not to mention Pei Guotai and his wife, even the other people in the Pei family were stunned when they heard what Li Miaomiao said.

Especially Pei Yifan, he originally thought that he performed well and everything developed according to his expectations. Although doing so was a little unfair to his grandparents, he still had to make good use of it.

"mom?"

Pei Yifan looked at Li Miaomiao with an incredible look. His biological mother seemed normal before, but why did she start to act stupidly at the critical moment? This is really...

"Mom, grandpa and grandma are here to handle the division of the family property. Just listen to them."

This can only be her biological mother, otherwise Pei Yifan would have the urge to teach his own "bear parent" a lesson.

"Xiao Fan, Mom knows you're planning for our little family and is worried that the days ahead will be tough, but Mom also wants to tell you that a person must have backbone. Even though we're orphans and widows, as long as we work hard, we can still make a good living."
