Ye Beiping returned home in the evening.
Seeing Su Xinyi and Zhang Hai sitting on the sofa with somewhat unpleasant expressions, he was puzzled.
Didn't I deliver an air conditioner to my father-in-law and mother-in-law today?
Given his mother-in-law's personality, wouldn't he praise her profusely and then spread the word?
Judging from Su Xinyi's appearance, it seems like she came back after being upset about something.
At the same time, Su Xinyi also heard the noise and saw Ye Beiping walk into the house, but the anger on her face did not diminish.
It was still a dark, bluish-gray color.
"Honey, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Beiping glanced at Jiang Hai, frowned slightly, and said, "Brother Jiang Hai, today isn't..."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Hai interrupted Ye Beiping directly.
"Beiping, I've seen my mother-in-law for who she is. I don't know what she's thinking."
Um?
Ye Beiping could guess the gist of what they were saying, and judging from their expressions, they had probably been upset by Min Yuehua.
But given my mother-in-law's personality, she shouldn't act like this.
Putting aside being greedy for money, sending over something as expensive as an air conditioner is practically an attempt to persuade Su Xinyi and Jiang Hai to stay for dinner or something, isn't it?
Jiang Hai glanced at Su Xinyi, but ultimately sighed and remained silent.
There are some things he still doesn't know how to say in front of someone's daughter, otherwise he might be accused of trying to sow discord.
However, Su Xinyi didn't seem to care about what Jiang Hai said, and it seemed that she agreed with Jiang Hai's opinion today.
Helpless, she could only explain what had happened that day.
In the end, Su Xinyi herself was furious.
Ye Xiaoxin, who was busy in the kitchen, came out and heard this. She was equally indignant: "Xinyi, what's wrong with your mother? Why is she taking the side of others? Beiping is her son-in-law, how can she act like we country folk say, 'turning the other cheek'?"
Ye Beiping rolled his eyes in exasperation upon hearing this.
I also understand why Min Yuehua wasn't happy even when she saw the air conditioner today.
It was probably out of fear of Peng Tian's father's power.
The principle that the people should not fight against the officials has been passed down for thousands of years. How many times in the past few thousand years have the people won when they fought against the officials?
It's unrealistic to expect your mother-in-law to change her deeply ingrained ideas.
Ye Beiping didn't dwell on Min Yuehua's attitude; it was just human nature.
So many things had happened before that hadn't caused Su Xinyi to sever ties with her family, so they couldn't let this incident cause them to break off relations.
Do you really think this is like those rebirth novels where the protagonist severs ties with his family and makes his wife sever ties with hers as well?
Is it realistic?
That's completely unrealistic.
He patted Su Xinyi on the shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay, I know what your mother is thinking. Things will be fine once this is over."
Su Xinyi glanced at Ye Beiping in surprise.
"Aren't you angry?"
At the same time, Jiang Hai and Ye Xiaoxin also looked at Ye Beiping in surprise, completely unexpected this outcome.
If he's not angry, then why are they getting angry here?
Ye Beiping smiled gently, took his wife's hand, and said, "Why are you angry? If you don't have expectations, you won't have emotional fluctuations. Besides, it's only human nature. Fighting with officials is a life-or-death struggle; you can't drag everyone you know down with you, can you?"
Everyone understood the first half of what was said, but only Su Xinyi probably understood the second half.
Fighting with officials is a life-or-death struggle.
This means that Ye Beiping might not even have a 10% chance of winning against Peng Tian.
This terrified Su Xinyi, who quickly got out of Ye Beiping's arms and sat up straight, saying, "How about we..."
Ye Beiping placed his index finger directly on Su Xinyi's lips and slowly shook his head: "You don't need to worry about these things, I will arrange them."
"Huh!"
Although Jiang Hai and Ye Xiaoxin couldn't understand the riddles the two were talking about, they still made disdainful noises when they saw their cheesy pose.
They immediately got up and the two of them quickly disappeared from the living room.
Su Xinyi didn't pay attention to them, but was worried about Ye Beiping.
"Beiping, how about we just forget about it? If we can't fight, we can go somewhere else. The country is so big, there must be a place that can accommodate us."
Having survived by the skin of their teeth, staying in Hangzhou is practically the same as waiting to die.
Upon hearing this, Ye Beiping's smile faded slightly, and he slowly shook his head.
"You can run away eventually, but you can't hide forever. Since they're after us, we have no chance to escape. We can run, but what about Mom and the others?"
"This..." Su Xinyi was speechless for a moment.
I don't know how to put it, but while they can run away, Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin can't escape in the end.
With Hou Baolin and Wu Di also involved, it's even more impossible to escape them.
Ye Beiping knew Su Xinyi's worries, so he squeezed her small hand and comforted her, "Xinyi, don't worry. Although we can't beat them now, they'll suffer sooner or later. The problem right now isn't Peng Tian, but Peng Tian's father."
“I asked Tang Xiaolong to investigate Peng Tian, and he found that Peng Tian was not involved in many things. It is likely that someone cleaned up his mess behind the scenes. This person is meticulous and must be someone with power.”
Just kidding, if someone can clean up a mess, how could they not have some power?
If Peng Yuhuai himself were the one cleaning up the mess, then Ye Beiping wouldn't be so afraid. But if it's just a pawn, then Peng Yuhuai, hiding behind the scenes, is the real old fox, and very difficult to deal with.
Even if Peng Tian were to fall from grace, it wouldn't have much to do with Peng Yuhuai's father. It might have some impact on Peng Yuhuai's career, but it wouldn't be significant.
