Chapter 204: So This Is the Relationship
"Tingting is right. Lan'er was a bit too cruel this time."
Jiang Tingting looked at Jiang Xinyue. She was Jiang Xinyue's niece, but she was born out of wedlock and was not valued much at home. If her aunt had not given her a chance, she would not have married into the Pei family.
Unfortunately, this happened not long after I got married.
She had no ideas and always listened to Jiang Xinyue.
Pei Yuanchen and Pei Qiuge, the two children born to Jiang Xinyue and Pei Zhen, have lost their patience. "Hurry up, it's freezing outside."
Pei Qiuge relied on being the only daughter in the family and the youngest, looking down on everyone except her parents. At this moment, she rolled her eyes at Jiang Tingting and said, "Why mention that bitch?"
Pei Zhen looked at the family and sighed deeply, but he had other ideas.
From what the village chief said, it seemed that the Gu family could not only live in a big house, but also lived quite well here. However, he still wanted to wait and see how things were going before making any plans.
The house the village chief pointed out was not far from Gu's house. They had to pass by Gu's house first, and then walk along a road blocked by heavy snow to get there.
The snow was very heavy in the north, especially where they were going because no one walked around and naturally no one cleaned the road. Not only was the road covered with thick snow, but when people walked in, most of their bodies were invisible.
Pei Qiuge was being stubborn and refused to leave, insisting on being carried on someone's back. Naturally, this task fell on Pei Yuanqing's head. He didn't take it seriously, thinking that his sister was young, so it was natural for him to feel some pain.
But Jiang Tingting was a little unhappy. She had just become pregnant and the fetus was not yet firmly established, but the man ignored her and cared about Pei Qiuge instead.
But she was just unhappy in her heart and didn't dare to say anything. After all, no one would stand up for her if she said it.
Pei Qiuge snorted coldly at Jiang Tingting, then urged, "Brother, hurry up, I'm freezing to death."
Pei Yuanqing nodded. As he passed the school, he couldn't help but mutter, "Isn't Ningxi Village said to be the poorest village? There's actually a school there?"
Pei Zhen was also surprised, but what came from inside was indeed the sound of reading aloud.
"What's the point of studying? Do you expect to become the top scholar? What kind of decent teachers can there be in a place like this? At most, they can only recognize a few words." Pei Yuanchen said disdainfully.
Especially after the children's reading voices quieted down, and a soft female voice sounded, he scoffed even more, "A woman being a teacher? How bizarre."
Pei Zhen looked in the direction of the big house. Smoke was coming out of the chimney at this moment. If he smelled carefully, he could smell the aroma of food.
"Brother, why don't you go find Gu Lan? Maybe she can help you!" Pei Qiuge said fearlessly, "After all, she got here before us. I don't know how she got here to live in such a big house."
Pei Yuanqing's face was not very good. Even though he and Gu Lan had divorced and had nothing to do with each other's marriage, he was still very angry when he thought about Gu Lan living a good life.
"Yes, husband, maybe if you just make a gesture, she will come over to you eagerly." Jiang Tingting said.
Pei Yuanqing frowned, "Why would I look for her? She has nothing to do with me anymore."
Jiang Tingting pursed her lips and was quite happy to hear him say that.
Li Mumu would go to school to attend classes when she had nothing to do, but she was very free and would go home if she didn't want to attend. It was not her fault that Zhang Yi gave her a backdoor.
To be fair, it is very rare to find a child like Mumu who can learn things quickly.
Old Master Gu felt that Li Mumu was stupid before because she had not yet gained enlightenment, but now that she had gained enlightenment, she was much smarter than ordinary people.
Li Mumu was wearing thick and comfortable clothes, which looked very good. She saw a few people walking towards the uninhabited house at the back from a distance, and she immediately thought that it might be the Pei family.
The Pei family really came?
"Mumu, didn't you go to study?" When Old Master Qin saw Li Mumu, he smiled so much that his face was full of wrinkles. He looked inside, wanting to see his eldest grandson, but it didn't matter if he didn't see him.
Li Mumu nodded and said, "I'm hungry. I'll go back and eat first."
"Yes, yes, you need to have enough food to have the energy to study." Old Master Qin said lovingly, "Is your grandpa home?"
"Here! Grandpa Qin, those people are..."
"Them, I came here for this matter." Old Master Qin snorted, "Those are the Pei family members who just arrived, also exiles. Does your grandfather know them?"
Li Mumu nodded, "That Pei Yuanqing is the one who divorced my cousin."
"Ah..." Old Master Qin exclaimed, "I see, that's how it is. I was saying they didn't look like good people. Anyone who could make Miss Lan so angry that she wouldn't want to live with them must be no good."
Old Master Qin said angrily, "Now I know what's going on."
Li Mumu laughed secretly. She didn't need to say it herself. It seemed that they had offended the village chief. Even if Mr. Qin was not the kind of person who would make things difficult for others, life in this village would not be easy without the village chief's care.
Not to mention that they are not on good terms with their own family.
"Grandpa Qin, aren't you going to look for grandpa?"
Old Master Qin waved his hand and said, "I won't go. Don't we all know what's going on?"
Li Mumu held his hand and said, "Grandpa Qin, where does my grandfather have good wine? My third uncle caught a fish from the ice hole, and my second aunt made it with soybean paste. It's delicious..."
Old Master Qin swallowed his saliva and said, "Eat it by yourselves."
This is a good thing. People are reluctant to eat it during the Chinese New Year. When he goes, people eat less.
Li Mumu really needs this ally, "Grandpa Qin, go quickly, the wine is from my godfather."
"The prefect gave it to me?" Old Master Qin took a deep breath. "Then I... go and try it?"
How proud it would be to tell this to others!
Li Mumu nodded, believing that one should be grateful for what one has received. As long as she was around, the Pei family would have no good days.
After Mr. Qin entered the house, everyone in the Gu family soon knew that the Pei family had arrived.
Li Yunye and Li Yunjue were so curious that they climbed up the wall and watched the Pei family making a fuss because the house was too dilapidated and they were too clumsy to clean it up.
"Whose children are you? What are you laughing at? These country idiots have no manners." Jiang Xinyue saw two children standing on the wall, looking at them and laughing, and scolded them angrily.
"Wait!" Pei Zhen called out to his wife, "That seems to be the Gu family, right?"
"They still dare to come?" Jiang Xinyue said angrily. Thinking about the stolen warehouse in her own home, she always felt that it was related to the two children from the Gu family.
"Let me see if they are those two guys?"
She was talking about Xie Xun and Li Mumu, but when she walked closer, she found that they were not them, but two children she had never seen before.
"The Gu family did this on purpose," Pei Yuanqing said bitterly, "They're a wealthy family in the capital, yet they're still mocking us. How despicable."
