Grandma Li still felt sorry for Pei Nuo. Even when Pei Haishan and his wife sent the child to her, her daughter looked unhappy and even suspected that the child was Pei Haishan's illegitimate child outside.
She never despised Pei Nuo. She felt that a child was a life. Pei Nuo knew nothing and had no parents, so she was already pitiful enough.
To take a step back, even if Pei Nuo is Pei Haishan’s illegitimate child, it was an adult’s mistake and an innocent child should not be made to bear the consequences.
Therefore, no matter how unhappy their daughter's face was, the two old people still insisted on keeping Pei Nuo. When there was no food to eat, they would let Pei Nuo eat first if there was any food left in the house.
The food coupons and meat coupons sent by Pei Haishan were also given to Pei Nuoxian first. They just felt sorry for the little girl. She was still a silly child when she came into this world. If they didn't let the child eat better, they would not be able to live with their conscience.
The only thing was that I mistakenly trusted Grandma Bu. I thought it was she who cured Pei Nuo's illnesses time and time again. I didn't expect that she would be so cruel behind his back.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but sigh: "I don't care what you think, your father and I definitely don't want it. We trusted Bu Xianhua at the beginning, and whatever she said was true. Because every time Xiao Nuo was sick, it was indeed Grandma Bu who took care of him."
That's why they trusted Grandma Bu so much, but they didn't expect to be fooled for so many years.
"I'm getting old, old, and I've become confused. I don't even know when I'm being taken advantage of."
As Grandma Li said this, she stood up with some sadness, pounded her waist and sighed as she went into the house.
Pei Haishan's death and Pei Nuo's incident were both a great blow to her.
Mrs. Pei sat there without moving, but her face looked very ugly. She was even more worried that the fact that she had once looked for Grandma Bu would be exposed. It was she who suggested to Bu Xianhua to use the bottle of formalin to soak the rotten meat.
Grandpa Li puffed on his water pipe, squinting his eyes and looking ahead. He was silent for a long time before turning his head to look at Mrs. Pei: "Did you know this a long time ago? Did you know that Bu Xianhua would treat Xiao Nuo like that? Or was it your idea?"
Mrs. Pei denied it flatly: "Dad, how could you think of me like that? Although I don't like Pei Nuo, I won't do anything to hurt her."
Because he felt guilty, although he spoke loudly, his eyes were unconsciously wandering.
Grandpa Li looked at it for a long time and sighed heavily: "As a human being, you can't do things that go against your conscience."
Mrs. Pei was a little annoyed. She didn't want to listen to her parents' lectures. She didn't expect that they would be so sincere to her little girl.
He stood up and said coldly, "You guys stay at home first, I'll go out and take a look."
After leaving the yard, she had nowhere to go. She was not born and raised in Zhulin Town. Her parents moved to the town after she got married. They said that her ancestors were from here.
So she didn't come back many times, and the only thing she was familiar with in the town was Bu Xianhua's residence.
Every time I came back, I would secretly go to see Bu Xianhua and listen to the progress of Bu Xianhua's torture of Pei Nuo. Knowing that Pei Nuo had completely turned into a fool, I felt refreshed.
Unconsciously, I walked to the doorway of Bu Xianhua's house again. There was a cordon in front of the door, and I couldn't see what was going on in the yard. At a glance, the doorway was deep and dark.
Mrs. Pei stared at the doorway in a daze, then realized belatedly, why should she wait here for a result? She should leave here quickly, no matter what Bu Xianhua said, she just shouldn't admit it.
Before I could come to my senses, I heard someone say indifferently, "Are you moved by this? I didn't expect something to happen to the flowers so soon?"
Mrs. Pei turned around in horror and saw Zhou Luancheng standing beside her at some point, with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the doorway opposite.
She had long known that this young man was no ordinary person. Every time he met people, he was always smiling and looked easy to get along with and talk to.
I couldn't help but smile stiffly: "I don't know what you are talking about. I just heard about her when I came back. I couldn't believe it, so I came to take a look."
Zhou Luancheng smiled lightly, but there was no warmth in his eyes. He turned his head to look at Madam Pei, his deep eyes seemed to be able to pierce her soul: "Is that so? I thought you wanted to reminisce with Grandma Bu?"
Mrs. Pei still had a stiff smile on her face: "Are you kidding? I'm not familiar with the people in this town, let alone Bu Xianhua. How can I possibly reminisce with her?"
Zhou Luancheng raised his eyebrows: "Is that so? You and Bu Xianhua met when Pei Nuo's mother was in trouble!"
He used a very affirmative tone, which made Mrs. Pei's heart skip a beat. Her eyelids twitched unconsciously several times and she swallowed hard.
She didn't know that Zhou Luancheng was deceiving her. Hearing Zhou Luancheng's confident tone, she thought he had discovered something.
I wanted to explain, but my throat was so dry that it was difficult to speak. I swallowed hard a few times and pretended to be calm: "I don't know what you are talking about. How could I know Bu Xianhua? I had never seen her at that time."
Zhou Luancheng smiled. He was not sure whether Mrs. Pei was present at the scene where Pei Nuo’s mother had the accident. If she had been there, it would have been easy to explain why Pei Nuo had seen his mother’s miserable condition.
With this set of words, it can be confirmed that Mrs. Pei was at the scene, and her micro-expressions also show that Bu Xianhua was also present at the time.
Therefore, with the conspiracy of the two of them, the young Pei Nuo witnessed the tragic death of his mother, which left a deep mark in his heart.
"You have seen Bu Xianhua. You were already conspiring to harm Pei Nuo. You let a child who was less than four years old see her mother's tragic death. You forced her to remember the smell and appearance of rotting meat, and made her live in fear every day."
"After a long time, you have achieved your goal. You have driven a good child crazy!"
"You are also a mother, how can you have the heart to do such a cruel thing to a child? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
The last bit of cover-up was ruthlessly exposed by Zhou Luancheng, and his heart-piercing words made Mrs. Pei lose control of her emotions. Today was already a very chaotic day.
Since something happened to Bu Xianhua suddenly, her nerves have been on edge.
Now Zhou Luancheng was tearing the past apart bit by bit, and then questioning her. Reluctance and grievance surged up: "You don't understand anything at all, you don't know anything!"
"If it weren't for her, would our family be able to live like this?"
Zhou Luancheng was not interested in listening to her: "What you did will naturally be judged by the law. It's a pity that Mr. Pei's reputation has been ruined in your hands."
Mrs. Pei suddenly lost the strength to argue. She also didn't know what was wrong with trying so hard to protect a home.
Why did the situation turn out like this?
