Qiao Yufei could feel that Pei Zheng had become a little different since his sister from the city came here.
He couldn't explain exactly what was different.
Because Pei Zheng is usually taciturn and thoughtful, he keeps everything to himself, so it is difficult for ordinary people to guess what he is thinking.
Only Qiao Yufei had been working with Pei Zheng for a long time, so he could see a little bit.
Because when she mentioned Lou Xinyue in front of Pei Zheng before, Pei Zheng was just annoyed and didn't show any sign of liking her at all.
So his sixth sense told him that Brother Pei was definitely interested in his sister.
After all, my own sister is beautiful, outstanding and gentle. Who wouldn’t like her?
Qiao Yufei himself also likes Qiao Zhiyi very much!
Afterwards, he took Qiao Zhiyi and Tangtang to play by the nearby stream, and talked to Qiao Zhiyi about this and that along the way.
Qiao Zhiyi also brought her own water bottle from home and hung it on her body so she could drink at any time.
"Little sister, how worried are you about being thirsty?" Qiao Yufei felt amused.
Qiao Zhiyi said, "Tangtang and I drank this. Children should always drink water."
"Yes!" Tangtang responded.
Qiao Zhiyi and Tangtang, good friends, held hands and set off with Qiao Yufei.
The old lady in front was holding a winnowing basket full of edamame in her hand. She saw Qiao Zhiyi and his group as she was walking on the road.
She saw that what she had said to Qiao Zhiyi earlier seemed to have no effect at all. The girl was still holding hands with Tangtang, whom she considered a money-loser, and chatting happily. The auntie couldn't help shaking her head.
"If you don't listen to the old people, you will suffer the consequences!" Aunt Bao snorted heavily.
"Hey, Sister Bao, who are you angry with?"
Another woman came and asked with a smile.
Aunt Bao smiled as soon as she saw the person coming. "Guixiang, you didn't know there's another girl coming to the Pei family..."
"Hey? Another girl's here? Isn't he already engaged to that girl from the Qiao family in Meixi Brigade? Haven't they gotten married yet?"
Zhang Guixiang asked curiously.
"No, I saw it clearly. There's another one. She's much prettier than Qiao Xinyue. She looks like a girl from the city. I saw a lot when I was young, so I could tell at a glance," Aunt Bao started chatting with Zhang Guixiang. "But I think this girl is stupid. She's a bit clueless and won't listen to good or bad advice. It turns out that this person can only have one of the two..."
Aunt Bao is complaining that Qiao Zhiyi is a fool who only has beautiful looks!
She thinks that anyone who doesn't listen to her is a fool!
No rebuttal accepted!
"What do you mean?" Zhang Guixiang asked curiously.
"Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if she marries into the Pei family, she'll be a stepmother. What girl from a good family would want to be a stepmother? I've tried to persuade her, but she just won't listen. There's nothing I can do. No amount of sweet talk can persuade a damned ghost!" Aunt Bao looked angry at her for not fighting back.
"Hey, what about that girl from the Qiao family?"
"I heard..." Aunt Bao whispered in Zhang Guixiang's ear, "I heard he ran away and went to the city. I don't know what happened. I'm still asking..."
She was specifically inquiring about the Pei family's affairs, waiting to see Pei's mother make a fool of herself!
When Aunt Bao first heard that Lou Xinyue had run away, she was so happy that she made fun of Pei's mother for several days.
The fact is, Lou Xinyue did take her words to heart.
She is a smart girl.
The sooner you run, the sooner you can escape from the sea of suffering!
Zhang Guixiang was also surprised. "How could this happen? Everything was fine..."
"I've already said it, which good family wants to be a stepmother to the Pei family? What's more, Pei Zheng has a broken hand, which means he's a cripple. Marrying him would be suffering. Guixiang, I heard that your daughter was also in a relationship with Pei Zheng before?"
"Of course they didn't!" Zhang Guixiang quickly denied. "At the time, Pei Zheng was still in the army and it was a rare occasion for him to come back for a visit. The two of them got to know each other, but my daughter didn't like him. She thought Pei Zheng was a blockhead, had a stern face, wasn't funny at all, and couldn't get anything out of him. So there was no further..."
Zhang Guixiang also specifically emphasized that her daughter did not like the man and she could not let the incident affect her daughter's reputation.
Aunt Bao said, "Oh, your daughter is really smart. She wouldn't be able to marry into a family like that. Pei Zheng's brother died young, and now Pei Zheng has lost an arm. It's really unlucky!"
After Zhang Guixiang chatted with Aunt Bao, she really thought it was true. "I'm going home to eat first..."
"Hey, let's talk next time..."
Zhang Guixiang had just returned home when her daughter Qu Rucui, who had been away for three days, also came back.
"Daughter, did you pass the audition?"
Zhang Guixiang's daughter is 23 years old, which is considered old nowadays.
In the eyes of her parents, their daughter was a little too ambitious but lacked the skills. When she was young, she was very picky and looked down on everyone. After she had finally used her connections to get a job as a nurse in a health center, she was not very happy with the job and thought about becoming a movie actor all day long.
This time, she heard that the crew from the provincial film studio was planning to shoot a movie, so she asked for three days off from work and rushed to audition.
"How can it be that easy?"
The family sat down to eat. Zhang Guixiang wanted her daughter to talk about the trip out of town, but Qu Rucui was not interested. "Oh, there's nothing much to say..."
Qu's father said: "My daughter fell outside and hit her head..."
Zhang Guixiang asked nervously, "Huh? Let me take a look. Is everything okay?"
"It's okay. I've seen a doctor. Just let me get some medicine and apply it on myself..." Qu Rucui cleverly changed the subject. "By the way, does Pei Zheng also live in our commune?"
Zhang Guixiang and her husband looked at each other in confusion. "Daughter, why are you asking this?"
Qu's father also found it strange.
Qu Rucui's eyes dodged for a moment, "I'm just asking casually..."
Zhang Guixiang didn't think much about it. Recalling her conversation with Aunt Bao, she began to say, "The Pei family is full of jokes right now. Pei Zheng was engaged to the girl from the Qiao family in Meixi Brigade. I heard she ran away and won't be coming back..."
"Really?" Daughter Qu Rucui looked surprised.
It seems that God is helping me!
Zhang Guixiang confirmed, "It's true. I heard he ran away to the city. He must have fallen in love with a worker there. Even though Pei Zheng is the deputy director of our commune's glass factory, with his current conditions, which girl would dare to marry him?"
Qu's father also felt sorry for Pei Zheng. "He used to be such a good young man, tall and handsome, with a bright future in the army. How could he have injured his arm? I heard it's incurable..."
Zhang Guixiang said, "After his elder brother passed away, he still had to support a little burden. Tell me, what girl could stand it? It's a good thing that our Xiao Cui didn't like him before..."
"Who said I don't like him?" Qu Rucui suddenly slammed the table and stood up. "Mom, hurry up and go to the Pei family to propose marriage for me. I want to marry Pei Zheng!"
Qu's parents were stunned for a moment.
Petrified on the spot!
Is this girl crazy?
But Qu Rucui was serious at this moment, and said in a clear voice, "I will not marry anyone other than Pei Zheng in this life!"
Qu’s parents: “…”!!!
