Hearing Li Miaomiao say this, Pei Yifan did not refute, but in his heart he decided to save the candy for his mother. He remembered that his mother loved eating candy, and she had often tricked him into giving her candy. His mother thought he was young, but in fact he knew everything.
Even if his own mother was a little silly, he still had to pamper her. Moreover, his father was gone, and he was the only upright man in the second house, so he should take good care of his mother.
He is still young now and can only get candy from his grandmother in this way. When he grows up, he can earn money by himself to buy candy and many delicious foods for his mother.
Li Miaomiao didn't know what Xiaotuanzi was thinking, otherwise she would have been very touched.
Because of Pei Chengwen's time stealing the candy, the atmosphere at breakfast was very depressing. No one dared to speak much for fear of angering Old Mrs. Pei.
After dinner, everyone went to the fields to earn work points. Only the children were left alone, some collecting firewood, some cutting grass for the pigs.
The only ones who were free in the entire Pei family were Li Miaomiao and her son.
Old Mrs. Pei felt sorry for her only grandson from the second house, so she didn't let Pei Yifan work. However, the original owner was lazy and kept delaying work for various reasons.
When Pei Guoan was around, the original owner at least pretended to be nice. But after Pei Guoan passed away, she used this as an excuse to make a big fuss. The villagers and the Pei family were helpless with her and could only let her get along like this. What's more, the original owner had been injured and had a skull broken open a few days ago while protecting her son.
Didn’t you see that Mrs. Pei didn’t tell her to go to work just now? It was because the original owner had made too much noise before, and Mrs. Pei was afraid that she would continue to make noise, so she simply turned a blind eye. That’s it.
Do the people in the other two rooms have any opinions?
Of course there are, especially the eldest wife, who are even thinking about dividing the family property.
However, in the Pei family's current situation, it is definitely not possible to separate the second branch alone, as they will be criticized. Not to mention that Old Mrs. Pei will never agree, and she is reluctant to give up the labor of the third branch. It is really a dilemma.
Of course, the original owner had never considered dividing the family, but Li Miaomiao was different. With such a large family gathered together, it would be impossible for them, mother and son, to live comfortably together.
So even for this reason, she couldn't be diligent. Besides, Li Miaomiao knew her own limitations. The original owner wasn't good at work, and she wasn't much better at farm work, so she decided to forget about working in the fields and stop putting herself in a difficult position.
As for how to make a living after the family splits up, Li Miaomiao said that although she is not good at farm work, she is not completely incompetent and can always find other ways to make a living, such as being a scorekeeper or a teacher, which are more suitable for her.
Besides, there is the system, so it should not be a problem to support the mother and son. After two years, when the situation improves and the policies are relaxed, it will be her time to make a fortune.
As for Pei Guoan, even though she knew that he was not dead and would become successful in the future, Li Miaomiao had no intention of looking for him.
Li Miaomiao felt that it was not a good life for mother and son to live like this, so why would you bring yourself into such a big trouble?
You have to know that although Pei Guoan is capable, he is not a very good-tempered person. He is even very strong-willed and is not very satisfied with the original owner. He married the original owner by chance. Although he treated her well in other aspects after marriage, he was rather cold to her. With the original owner's temper, she did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Pei Guoan.
If Pei Guoan was brought back, Li Miaomiao felt that her life would definitely not be easy just thinking about it.
Although the people of the Pei family were not very friendly to her now, and Old Lady Pei also had intentions towards her, she was not difficult to deal with. Pei Guoan was different, as he was the father of the villain and they were also married.
So Li Miaomiao now treats Pei Guoan as dead. As for when Pei Guoan comes back more than ten years later, he will already have his own family by then, and she will definitely strive to build her own career and raise Tuanzi.
Li Miaomiao thought that although Pei Yifan's transformation into a villain was due to Pei Guoan, the most important factor was his growth process. As long as she raised Tuanzi well, he would not turn into a villain.
Li Miaomiao had good intentions, but she didn't expect the cold mechanical voice of the system to suddenly sound.
"Main Mission: Host, please find Pei Guoan. Time limit: six months. Difficulty level: S++. Success will reward you with 50,000 survival points. Failure will result in your annihilation!"
Damn it! Li Miaomiao was so angry that she cursed and wanted to throw the rag in the system's face.
The system, perhaps sensing Li Miaomiao's anger, replied, "As Pei Yifan's father, Pei Guoan holds a significant place in Pei Yifan's heart. He is an integral part of his upbringing and one of the biggest reasons why he turned evil. In order to successfully prevent Pei Yifan from turning evil, the host must retrieve Pei Guoan within the time limit."
Well, Li Miaomiao finally accepted the reality.
In fact, she had to accept it even if she didn't want to. The main mission was mandatory. Everything had a price to pay. She had died in the modern era, and being able to be reborn was like saving a life. It was only right to pay some price. This was the only way Li Miaomiao could persuade herself.
She is an optimist. Even if things deviate from her plan, she can adjust quickly. After all, life is not always smooth sailing, so she still has to adjust herself.
Fortunately, the system is still somewhat humane. Probably knowing that the task is difficult, it gave a deadline of half a year, allowing Li Miaomiao sufficient time to prepare. So Li Miaomiao put this matter aside for the time being. After all, it is better to delay it for one day.
In fact, even if Li Miaomiao wanted to go find him now, she couldn't do it. If she wanted to go on a long journey at this time, she had to go to the village to get a certificate. Old Mrs. Pei was so worried about her, how could she agree to let her go so far away? If she ran away, her weird grandson would be left without a mother.
After returning to the room, Li Miaomiao did not lie down to sleep, but started to tidy up the room. After all, she was not the lazy woman like the original owner. Even if she was quite lazy, she would not be so lazy as to let herself lie in the doghouse.
This room used to be cleaned by Pei Guoan, so it was relatively clean and tidy. After Pei Guoan got into trouble, no one cleaned it anymore, and the original owner's things were thrown around everywhere, so now this room is really a mess, not much better than a doghouse. If it is not cleaned properly, Li Miaomiao will not feel comfortable living there.
Seeing Li Miaomiao cleaning the room, Pei Yifan was not idle either. He was young and could not help much, so he took a rag and wiped and cleaned, like a hardworking little bee, which was very different from his previous attitude of not even helping when the oil bottle fell over in the yard.
Of course, at this time Li Miaomiao didn't know how Pei Yifan behaved outside. Seeing the little girl helping so obediently and seriously, she was really relieved.
Especially the little Tuanzi does things in an orderly and methodical manner. Who wouldn't like such a child? He will be her son in the future.
