Meanwhile, at Ye Beiping's home...
After finishing their meal, Su Qingwen and Min Yuehua began asking about Peng Tian again.
They said they searched all morning but couldn't find the person.
They suspected that Ye Beiping was lying to them.
In desperation, Ye Beiping assured them that he had not lied to them.
"Mom and Dad, how could I lie to you? If you haven't found them, they might have already gone back."
He seemed very sincere and didn't appear to be lying.
Su Qingwen and Min Yuehua exchanged a glance and then did not pursue the matter further.
Because their identities seem to have changed somewhat now, Ye Beiping has fulfilled almost all of Min Yuehua's requirements.
Back in Pingba Village, it was said that Ye Beiping could afford a house in Hangzhou, so he agreed to let Su Xinyi be with him.
Now he bought not just one, but two.
Moreover, Min Yuehua was somewhat astonished by Ye Beiping's earning power.
She was extremely envious of all those green banknotes, realizing that her son-in-law was no less capable than the city dwellers.
Even if only a little bit spills from between my teeth, it's enough to support me in my old age.
Seeing that there was nothing more to ask, Su Qingwen and Min Yuehua got up to say goodbye.
Despite Tao Qiuyan and Su Xinyi's insistence, the couple stayed for a cup of tea before leaving.
They need to check whether Peng Tian has returned.
So the two of them hurriedly went to the so-called home of Vice Minister Peng.
When I arrived, I regretfully did not see Peng Yuhuai, but instead met Peng's mother.
Peng's mother was also very surprised to see the two of them.
"Xinyi's parents, what brings you here?" Peng's mother also liked Su Xinyi very much, and even joked with Peng Tian from time to time that it would be great if she could become her daughter-in-law.
Mainly, Su Xinyi is beautiful, making her very pleasing to the eye. Plus, her polite attitude means she always calls me "Auntie, Auntie" whenever we meet.
Every call touched the heart of Peng's mother.
However, after hearing that Su Xinyi had gotten married, Peng's mother stopped saying such things and even vaguely suspected that her son had gone to the countryside for the sake of that girl.
But fate is a strange thing, so Peng's mother gave up.
After all, she couldn't force such a thing. She believed that her son Peng Tian would definitely find someone better, such as... Qiu Mingyue was also a good girl. Although she wasn't as pretty as Su Xinyi, she was polite and well-mannered.
What she didn't know was that Qiu Mingyue's reputation in Pingba Village was already ruined.
Su Qingwen and his wife were invited to their home, and Min Yuehua immediately asked, "Has Peng Tian returned?"
"You're back." Mrs. Peng was a little surprised, but then she remembered that she and her husband had gone to the other family's house that morning to ask about it, so she explained, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. My son Xiaotian came back around lunchtime. He said he drank too much and took a nap on the street."
How could anyone say that their son had taken a nap in the garbage dump and came back covered in filth?
Hearing that Peng Tian had returned, Su Qingwen and his wife breathed a sigh of relief, and paid no attention to what was said afterward.
They were just afraid that if Peng Tian didn't return, their family wouldn't be able to withstand the wrath of Vice Minister Peng.
After all, the parents meant well by celebrating their daughter and son-in-law's housewarming, but ended up losing them. Ultimately, the child was immature, and the parents bear some responsibility.
Indeed, in Su Qingwen and Min Yuehua's eyes, although Ye Beiping could make money, he and Su Xinyi were still children.

Just as Peng's mother was about to make tea for the two of them, Peng Tian returned.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Su Qingwen and Min Yuehua. His expression instantly turned cold, and he walked towards his room after just one glance.
Su Qingwen and Min Yuehua, who were originally smiling, froze instantly.
As if she had noticed something, Mrs. Peng smiled and explained, "Xiao Tian might still be a little drunk last night, please don't mind him."
"No, no, there isn't."
Su Qingwen responded with a smile, then pulled Min Yuehua up and said to Peng's mother, "We'll head back now, it's getting late, and we have to go to work this afternoon."
Going to work is just an excuse. It's already past 2 PM. Even if I went to work, it would still be considered taking a day off.
Peng's mother naturally had no excuse to keep them, and saw the couple to the door.
As they walked out of the building, Min Yuehua rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Why are you in such a hurry to pull me away?"
She felt it was a pity that such an opportunity had come to her so suddenly, before she had even had a chance to properly build a relationship with Vice Minister Peng's wife.
Su Qingwen was speechless and said irritably, "Didn't you see Peng Tian's expression? He's probably still resentful about Beiping throwing him in the trash heap. Why stay if you don't want to leave? Do you have to be told to leave?"
"This..." Min Yuehua tensed up instantly, pulling Su Qingwen aside and asking, "Won't Vice Minister Peng be angry?"
"It shouldn't be that bad."
Thinking about Peng Tian's expression and his mother's attitude, Su Qingwen guessed, "I'm afraid that Peng Tian is afraid of losing face, so he didn't tell his parents the truth."
He didn't know exactly what Peng Tian looked like when he returned.
However, judging from Peng's mother's words, Peng Tian may not have been telling the truth.
Upon hearing this, Min Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief.
The two checked the time, decided not to go to work, and headed home.
I've been taking too much time off lately, and I'm worried that we don't have enough money to cover our expenses. I'm wondering how we'll manage in the future.
...
Time flies.
