Chapter 34: It's easy to get a fur coat worth thousands of gold, but it's hard to find a true lover



The fabric that Pei's mother had been asked to prepare was also available. It was some old clothes that were torn off from the past. Pei's mother didn't know what to do with it, so she just left the fabric there.

Qiao Zhiyi cut the size, trimmed it, and sewed it...

When Mr. and Mrs. Qiao saw so many medicinal herbs, they knew what their daughter was going to do.

Pei Zheng's hand has improved a lot now. With his daughter's good care, it will be back to normal in time.

Having a healthy son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao are naturally happy.

Seeing how much Qiao Zhiyi cared about Pei Zheng, Pei's mother was very happy, so she took a basket and went out to buy vegetables to make delicious food for her in-laws at noon.

As soon as Pei's mother went out, she ran into Aunt Bao who came to inquire about something stealthily.

"Oh, what a coincidence! You want to come to my house for tea so early in the morning?" Mother Pei was in high spirits as she was happy about the event, and she looked at Aunt Bao with a bit more favor.

Aunt Bao snorted, her mouth almost twisted to the back of her ears.

Mother Pei, carrying a basket, deliberately said to the elderly neighbors, "My son is getting married in a few days. Come and have a drink at the wedding!"

"Oh, congratulations!"

"Is it the girl from the Qiao family?"

Pei's mother smiled widely, "Who else could it be? My son likes her, and our whole family likes her. I'm extremely satisfied with her..."

"I think that girl is good too. She's beautiful, has a good figure, and knows medical skills. Xiu, you're so lucky!"

"A girl like this is hard to find even with a lantern. Let alone your son, I would also be very fond of her if I took one look at her."

Sincere blessings from the elderly neighbor sisters.

Mother Pei was overjoyed when she heard this. "Your daughter-in-law is also good, we are also very lucky..."

"No, no, no, your daughter-in-law is still the best. She looks very well-behaved. The most important thing is that your son likes her. I have been watching Pei Zheng for so long, and it is rare to see him have someone he truly likes. As the old opera said, it is easy to get a fur coat worth thousands of gold, but it is hard to find a true lover!"

"Oh, you're a cultured person. I like to hear that..." Mother Pei started chatting with her neighbor.

Aunt Bao was left alone, her face gloomy. Suddenly, she poured cold water on him, "What's the point of liking him? Isn't he still one of the "five black categories" with questionable background? People like him won't even have jobs in the future. I don't know what he's so happy about."

Mother Pei wasn't angry either. "Since you've married into my family, I don't expect you to work. Doesn't my son have the resources to support you? Who are you looking down on?"

Aunt Bao was speechless because of what Pei's mother said.

Pei Zheng is the deputy director of a water meter glass factory. I heard that his salary is nearly one hundred yuan. Moreover, he used to be an officer in the army, so his severance pay is said to be quite a lot. With this income, he can afford to raise seven or eight children in the future.

She had introduced her daughter to Pei Zheng because of his qualities. She thought that once they got married, her daughter and grandchildren would no longer have to suffer hardships. How could she have known that the Pei family would be so ungrateful?

When Aunt Bao thought about this, her heart was bleeding.

In her opinion, a useless man like Pei Zheng, who rejected her family, deserved to be married to an ugly girl from the countryside. How could the girl from the city fall for him?

Seeing Aunt Bao getting mad at her, Mother Pei couldn't help but feel proud. "Besides, my daughter-in-law has skills. Manager Yang from Yanghetang has even begged her to work there. As long as she's willing, there will be plenty of job opportunities in the future. I don't have to worry about that!"

Aunt Bao laughed when she heard this: "Then Yanghetang is still hiring? If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it had gone bankrupt!"

Pei's mother was just as confident as anyone else. "They know what's good about my daughter-in-law. She doesn't have to work there. As long as she wants, my son can still find her a good job..."

Aunt Bao twitched her lips, giving a forced smile, "Then I'll open my eyes and watch carefully."

After saying that, he snorted and turned away.

If Pei Zheng uses his power to arrange a job for his daughter-in-law, she will report it and bring down the whole family. Let's see how Pei's mother can still act so arrogantly.

Pei's mother pooh-poohed her.

The old neighbor said, "Xiu, you know that Saifen is a person with a narrow mind. Tell her this, or she might secretly report you..."

As the old saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.

The villain is so sinister that he won't even notice that he's stabbing you in the back.

Mother Pei didn't react: "What did I say just now?"

"You said you wanted your son to arrange a job for your daughter-in-law..."

Pei's mother was sweating.

In order to satisfy my craving for food, I spoke too quickly...

"What's wrong with the arrangement? Can't a man find a job for his wife?" Pei's mother snorted. "How many workers in the factory are relatives of the commune leaders now? How come no one has reported this?"

"You're right." The old sister smiled and went to buy vegetables with Pei's mother.

At this time, at the Pei family, Qiao Zhiyi was still heating up the steamed buns.

Qiao's mother was good at sewing. She watched her daughter do it and followed her example. "My daughter, is this right?"

"Yes, I'm going to put some herbs in it later, and after it's heated up, I'm going to apply it to Pei Zheng's hands..."

Father Qiao said, "Oh, I understand. The old Chinese doctor used to do this for your grandfather. Your grandfather used to use this compress for joint pain and back pain, and it worked quite well..."

Qiao Zhiyi nodded. "Yes, that's the principle. Dad, your knees are not good. Mom and I will make some medicine and make hot compresses for you to take home..."

Qiao's mother said, "That's great! My old waist depends on this thing. I know how to make it. You can just get some herbs for me and your father when you get back."
