After the meal, Pei Wang took Pei Zhi back to the city.
Their original plan was to stay in the village for two days.
After that incident, Pei Wang was afraid that Pei Zhi would feel awkward staying at home, so he lied and said that there was something going on with his business.
As soon as the car drove out of the village, Pei Wang slammed his fist on the steering wheel.
"Is Cheng Xuelin's mother out of her mind?"
"Her son won't come home, so she's causing you trouble?"
Pei Wang was truly furious. How could his own sister be bullied like this?
Pei Zhi leaned back in the car seat, her face indifferent, and did not say a word.
"Don't worry about this, I'll take care of them for you."
Pei Wang got to know quite a few shady characters while doing business outside.
"What are you planning to do? Find a few people, put Cheng Xuelin's mother in a sack, and give her a beating?"
Pei Wang's expression stiffened slightly, because that was indeed what he thought.
I was just so angry that I beat him up to vent my anger.
Pei Wang's behavior was typically thoughtless, and he didn't believe in the idea that Cheng's mother, as an elder, shouldn't be punished.
"If you make a move first, you'll be made an example of right away."
These days, the strictest thing to do in the city is to crack down on gang fights.
Cheng's mother is a government official; if she gets beaten, she should go directly to the police.
Those who could have conflicts with Cheng's mother are the ones who are easily caught.
"What should we do then? Just let her bully you like this?"
"You just focus on your business and deliver your goods; I know what to do."
Pei Wang twitched the corners of his mouth. Although he was still somewhat unconvinced, seeing Pei Zhi's confident demeanor, he didn't say anything more.
Pei Zhi is indeed impressive; she can make a business successful just by talking about it.
Pei Zhi said she wanted to marry a college student, and she really did marry one.
He said he was going to take the college entrance exam, and then he quietly got into college.
Pei Zhi is not one to suffer losses.
Ever since Cheng's mother went to cause trouble for Pei Zhi, she has been absent-minded for several days.
She was always worried that Pei Zhi, that little bitch, would go and complain to her son.
Cheng's mother knew how much Cheng Xuelin cared about Pei Zhi.
That day, after getting off work, Cheng's mother carried groceries home.
Upon entering the courtyard and seeing the door open, with Cheng Xuelin sitting in the living room, Cheng's mother subconsciously thought it was her hallucination.
As Cheng Xuelin stood up and walked over, Cheng's mother took a big step back guiltily, and the vegetable basket in her hand fell to the ground.
Cheng Xuelin picked up the shopping basket and said, "Why don't you buy some meat? You're getting old, you need to eat some meat."
As Cheng Xuelin spoke, Cheng's mother became increasingly uneasy.
Cheng Xuelin suddenly returned and spoke to her in such a gentle tone.
Cheng's mother asked in a trembling voice, "You...how did you come back?"
Didn't Cheng Xuelin tell them before that he wasn't planning to go home?
How long has it been? How come Cheng Xuelin is back on his own?
Or was it after she went to cause trouble for Pei Zhi?
Cheng Xuelin's return made his mother happy, but she was also worried about his purpose in coming back.
Cheng Xuelin also felt a little awkward, "You're not happy that I'm back?"
Cheng's mother quickly shook her head, "I'm so happy you're back. I'm so happy I can't sleep at night."
Seeing Cheng's mother like this, Cheng Xuelin could only sigh slightly.
Pei Zhi came to see me.
Cheng's mother tripped over the threshold, and if Cheng Xuelin hadn't reacted quickly, she probably would have fallen quite hard.
"Having crossed this threshold for decades, how could I possibly be tripped up?"
Cheng's mother didn't care about any of that. "What did she say to you? She...is she?"
“She came to me and asked me to come back to see you, hoping that I wouldn’t hold a grudge against you.”
Cheng's mother stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.
"impossible."
Absolutely not. Pei Zhi didn't go to Cheng Xuelin to complain; on the contrary, she was trying to persuade Cheng Xuelin to come back.
Why?
Why would Pei Zhi do this?
Pei Zhi should hate her to death now; it's already a favor that Pei Zhi isn't stirring up trouble between the mother and son.
And you're so kind as to persuade Cheng Xuelin to come back?
Cheng Xuelin was also quite puzzled by this.
Cheng Xuelin was overjoyed that Pei Zhi took the initiative to contact him.
Pei Zhi revealed her purpose: to ask Cheng Xuelin to go home and see his parents.
Pei Zhi said that they were in the past, and told Cheng Xuelin to forget about them.
His parents had a hard life; he was their only son.
Everything Cheng's mother did before was for Cheng Xuelin's good.
Although Cheng Xuelin was still very awkward, he listened to Pei Zhi and went home to visit.
Cheng's mother sat in the chair, her face pale.
Why did Pei Zhi do this?
What was Pei Zhi's purpose in persuading Cheng Xuelin to return?
Cheng's mother didn't believe that Pei Zhi was really so kind; she must have some ulterior motive.
Dinner was prepared by Cheng Xuelin. Cheng's mother looked pale and unwell.
Cheng Xuelin didn't let his mother cook.
When Cheng's father returned, he saw that Cheng Xuelin had prepared a table full of dishes, and he immediately beamed with joy.
Cheng's father looked at Cheng's mother, who was sitting there like a wooden statue, and said, "What are you still sitting there for? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat."
Cheng's mother responded blankly, "His father, Xue Lin was persuaded to come back by Pei Zhi."
"What do you want to say?" Cheng's father had no idea that Cheng's mother had gone to Pei Zhi's house to make a scene.
Cheng's mother asked urgently, "She and I are so incompatible, yet she's still trying to persuade her son to come back. What's her purpose?"
Cheng's mother couldn't understand something, so she wanted to ask her husband if he could sense anything.
"What could she possibly want?" Cheng's father frowned. "She's happily married now and probably doesn't want to have anything to do with Xue Lin."
"Xue Lin has not been home for a long time, and there are reasons for that. So she kindly persuaded her son to come home. She is a very good girl."
Cheng's mother shook her head frantically. No, that's impossible.
She even went to Pei Zhi's house and made a scene, and Pei Zhi actually tried to persuade Cheng Xuelin to go home?
There couldn't possibly be such a kind person in the world.
Cheng's mother didn't eat well at dinner either, because Cheng's father said that his son was back and that Cheng's mother was too happy.
After washing up, Cheng's mother lay in bed, still thinking about Pei Zhi's purpose.
With a sideways movement, Cheng's mother seemed to understand why Pei Zhi had done this.
Pei Zhi persuaded Cheng Xuelin to come back, which made her feel anxious and fearful.
She lost her appetite and couldn't sleep, fearing that one day Pei Zhi would tell Cheng Xuelin about her disturbance at the Pei family.
Even though Xue Lin is back now, it's just that he listened to Pei Zhi and did as she said.
Pei Zhi must be showing off, showing off that she can control Cheng Xuelin.
Pei Zhi will tell Xue Lin sooner or later about her going to cause trouble for Pei Zhi.
First, let her experience the warmth of her son returning home, and then make Xue Lin completely break ties with her.
With just one sentence from Pei Zhi, Cheng Xuelin, who had uttered those harsh words, bowed his head and went home.
Cheng's mother now fully believes that Pei Zhi can easily control all of Xue Lin's emotions.
Once Xue Lin finds out everything, Cheng's mother doesn't even dare to think about the consequences.
She only has one son, and she absolutely cannot lose Xuelin.
If only there were a way to shut Pei Zhi up.
