Pei took a drag of his cigarette. "You think I didn't tell you? She's not having an easy time either; she cries every night."
Pei Laoda looked very haggard. "Tell me, what can I say about a woman who has tried every folk remedy and bitter medicine in order to have your child?"
“Your sister-in-law wasn’t like this before. She would just say a few words to me. I don’t know what’s wrong with her today.”
Pei Wang sighed, "Brother, what if sister-in-law really can't have children?"
Sister-in-law Pei is almost thirty years old, and there's still no sign of a child. In a few years, there will be even less hope.
Pei, the eldest brother, didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
"Let's get a divorce."
Pei Wang glanced at Pei Zhi subconsciously, cleared his throat, and said, "What I mean is, you're still young, and our family should still have some money. Why don't you find another wife?"
Pei Wang had previously thought that this sister-in-law was alright.
Although she didn't have a child, it had nothing to do with him.
As a result, today my sister-in-law actually yelled at Pei's mother in front of their whole family.
Pei Wang thought to himself, why not just have his older brother find a new wife?
"Get lost!" Boss Pei kicked Pei Wang. "How can you be so heartless?"
Pei Zhi snorted coldly from the side, clearly disagreeing with Pei Wang's idea.
"Then what do you do? You're not planning to have children for the rest of your life?"
Boss Pei hadn't thought about this either.
"Won't you get married in the future? If not, you can have a few more children, and I'll adopt one to raise."
Pei Wang quickly declined, saying, "If you wait until I get married and have children, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold a child even when you're forty."
Pei Wang quickly shifted the blame to Pei Zhi, saying, "You're asking your younger sister for a child. She's married now, she'll definitely be quick to help."
Boss Pei glanced at Pei Zhi, and Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow and looked back at him.
"Forget about her. Childbirth is hard for women, so it's better if she has fewer children."
Ultimately, it's about caring for one's own family.
Pei Zhi suggested, "Brother, you and your wife should live a good life together. After a while, once our business outside has stabilized, you can bring your wife to live in the city."
Ultimately, the reason Sister-in-law Pei has such a temper is because of what the villagers have been saying.
Now, whenever Sister-in-law Pei goes out, people point and whisper behind her back.
Over the years, how could it not have some impact?
"Now that we live in the village, there are many things to do, and my sister-in-law is also troubled."
Pei Wang quickly shook his head, "That won't do. Where will they stay if they go to the city? Besides..."
Pei the eldest also refused, saying, "Your sister-in-law and I don't know anything about business. If we go, we'll only make things worse for you."
"Second brother, do you want Mom and sister-in-law to keep arguing?"
“If things continue like this, neither Mom nor my sister-in-law will be happy. It would be better to separate them.”
Pei Zhi knew all too well that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was difficult; otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to marry Jiang Qingyuan.
Both Sister-in-law Pei and Mother Pei are considered to be very kind-hearted people, but because they don't have children, friction is inevitable.
"Anyway, brother, you should tell your sister-in-law to bear with it for a few months, and then let her come to the city. That way, she'll feel better."
Sister-in-law Pei had such a big argument with the family today; she'll definitely feel uncomfortable living with them in the future.
This news will make Sister-in-law Pei feel a little better.
"If you really want a divorce, then don't say anything."
Pei Laoda is a loyal and honest man; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone several years without having a child. Knowing that his sister-in-law has health problems, he didn't say anything.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
After Pei Laoda left, Pei Wang hurriedly said, "You sent them to the city, how are they going to survive?"
Pei Wang burned his hand with the cigarette, but he didn't care and quickly threw it on the ground.
“We have a large stockpile of goods at our factory, and we don’t have much money left in the account. You can’t expect your brother and sister-in-law to live at your place, can you?”
Pei Wangzhen didn't think Pei Zhi's idea was any good.
"We've worked so hard to build up a small business, don't let them ruin it. Business is tough these days."
Pei Zhi retorted, "Don't you want to help your older brother and sister-in-law?"
"It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that my brother and sister-in-law don't seem like the kind of people who can run a business."
Pei Wang himself came from a street stall background, and he considered himself to be somewhat clever and eloquent.
But if it weren't for his younger sister guiding him, he definitely wouldn't have been able to do it.
"After that, we asked my older brother to help with deliveries, and my sister-in-law to help with the shop and cook for us."
Pei Zhi wasn't just making empty promises; she had a plan for when she spoke up.
Pei Zhi and Pei Wang usually eat out, but Pei Zhi is getting a little tired of it.
It's okay for a short time, but it definitely won't work in the long run.
Let my sister-in-law go over there; she can cook for them and watch the shop.
"Your sister-in-law has it tough too. If you're so capable, go out and take a walk, and see how many people ask you if your sister-in-law is pregnant or not?"
Even when they go out, the villagers ask them this question.
Moreover, what do people say when my sister-in-law goes out?
Pei Wang sighed, "Fine, fine, you're the one who decides. You said you'd buy me a car, but I'm completely taken in by your sweet talk."
Pei Zhi followed Pei Wang into the house, saying, "I said I'd buy it for you, so I'll buy it for you. I'm not lying to you."
"Don't try to fool your brother like I'm an idiot."
Inside the main room, Jiang Qingyuan was chatting with Pei's mother, while Pei's eldest son sat beside her drinking water.
Mother Pei instructed, "If you're free this afternoon, tidy up your rooms; you'll be staying there tonight."
Pei Wang nodded, "I understand, I understand."
They haven't been back for a while, and the house is covered in dust.
Jiang Qingyuan handed the shelled melon seeds to Pei Zhi: "I'll go tidy up, you rest."
Pei's mother nudged Pei Zhi, "Hurry up and go, are you really going to let your son-in-law do the work?"
"He can handle it alone; I wouldn't be of much help anyway."
Pei Wang crossed his legs and said, "I'm so envious. It's so nice not having to work."
"You lazy bum, if you're really envious, I'll find you a wife tomorrow."
Pei Wang refused without hesitation: "No way. If I find a wife, I'll have to take care of her. It'll be exhausting."
Pei Wang's mother was also very worried about his marriage.
"You're not getting any younger, and your sister is already married. It's time for you to start making some preparations."
Pei Wang couldn't stand listening to this. "Why get married? I'm fine on my own. Making money is the priority right now."
"You should get married soon and have a child, so your family will be more lively."
In the end, we've come full circle back to the children.
“Look around the village, which family doesn’t have a child? Having a child makes the house more lively.”
Pei Wang quickly pulled Pei Zhi into the water, saying, "You urge your sister; she should be here soon."
Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow: "Are you trying to drag me into this?"
"What? I'm going to drag you down with me, so what? Hit me then?"
"Alright, alright."
Seeing the two younger children arguing in front of her, Pei's mother was unwilling to listen.
"Get lost, I'm going to take a nap, you guys go do whatever you need to do."
Pei Wang couldn't stay at home, so after tidying up the house, he slipped out.
