"Wife, why don't you go in?"
A familiar voice came from behind her. Ruan Niannian turned back nervously and looked at Pei Yuanzheng who was walking towards her.
She didn't answer his question, but asked back: "Did you hear everything?"
"No." Pei Yuanzheng shook his head, "I arrived when you said it was two."
He did not choose to deceive her. Today's incident made him see a completely different side of his daughter-in-law than before.
He didn't feel disgusted, but instead felt a pain as if his heart was being pulled. He felt sorry for her.
While she felt sorry for him not being loved, he also felt sorry for her being schemed against after coming to this strange place.
At the same time, he was also thinking along with what Ruan Niannian said, what would happen to Ruan Niannian if that man was not him? Would she meet someone who was willing to believe in her and cherish her?
No, even if it was him, without knowing the truth, he would only feel resentment towards the woman who was locked in the room with him, rather than heartache, let alone love.
"I……"
Ruan Niannian had just opened her mouth to utter a syllable when Pei Yuanzheng hugged her into his arms, "Wife, you don't have to say anything, I understand. You must be exhausted, right? Take a rest first. When you wake up, I will listen to whatever you want to tell me."
After saying that, he picked up Ruan Niannian in his arms and walked into the house.
She didn't cry when she was tired and thirsty while looking for Li Dani; she didn't cry when she scolded Li Dani in front of her and listed her crimes; she didn't cry when she made Li Dani look miserable.
At this moment, nestling in a familiar arms and smelling the reassuring scent, Ruan Niannian only felt her eyes sore and swollen, and a heat rushing out of her eyes.
"Go to sleep. When you wake up, I'll take you to have some fun."
Ruan Niannian burst into laughter. She was already an adult, and she was still having fun? Did she think she was eighteen months old?
These words made her relax, and her body was indeed extremely tired.
She stayed outdoors for nearly two hours under the scorching sun at the end of July, during the hottest time of the day. The fact that she didn't get a heat stroke was due to the physical fitness she had been exercising with Pei Yuanzheng some time ago.
When she woke up, it was already dark. She had slept for at least five or six hours.
As soon as I woke up, I heard the sound of a rope being pulled in the room, and with a "click", the room became bright.
"Wife, are you awake? My sister-in-law brought some soup to nourish you."
Pei Yuanzheng noticed it the moment Ruan Niannian woke up.
Li Jinhua came to deliver the food and stew at around five o'clock. Even though the weather was hot, it had already cooled down. Pei Yuanzheng lit a fire, left some charcoal, and kept the food and stew warm on the stove so that Ruan Niannian could eat them whenever she woke up.
Seeing Pei Yuanzheng bringing the food, the aroma made people's appetite grow.
"Sister-in-law is so thoughtful. It's only right that we help find the person." If Li Dani hadn't run away, how would she have had the chance to take revenge directly and openly?
Besides, Pei Qingsong, Pei Yuanzheng and Ruan Niannian are the only ones among all the brothers who know the truth. If they were Pei Qingbai or Pei Qingyang, they might have felt resentment at the beginning.
But they both shouldn't complain, as they have actually been hurt. Even if they should complain, what grounds do they have to complain?
After all, the other three brothers are still connected by broken bones, except Pei Yuanzheng, who has a different father and mother.
In addition, Pei Qingsong and Li Jinhua are indeed decent people, so they can just let go of the grudges from their previous lives.
Pei Yuanzheng thoughtfully placed the chopsticks in Ruan Niannian's hand and said to her, "Wife, wait until you finish eating and change your clothes, and I'll take you to see something fun."
It’s fun again. What surprise has he prepared?
Ruan Niannian didn't ask any further questions, but just replied with a smile, "Okay."
No matter what he prepared, she would be especially supportive.
I finished dinner and the stewed soup in no time. At this time, there was a lively scene next door.
The children gathered together to play, the sisters-in-law made dumplings, and talked about the latest gossip in the village. Their voices could be heard faintly over here.
"It's so lively." Ruan Niannian sighed.
Pei Yuanzheng agreed, "When we have children, it will be just as lively."
Neither he nor Ruan Niannian had any experience in taking care of children, so they would have to ask their sisters-in-law for help when the time came.
After Ruan Niannian changed her clothes, Pei Yuanzheng squatted in front of her and said, "Wife, come up. I'll carry you over."
Is this still quite far?
He acted so mysterious and no one knew what he was going to do. Ruan Niannian raised her eyebrows and threw herself on his back.
Passing by Pei Qinggang's door, Pei Yuanzheng kicked the door, and a nimble figure soon followed them.
"Why did you call Brother Wolf here? His foot hasn't healed yet." Ruan Niannian muttered.
Pei Yuanzheng chuckled, "Wife, do you think he hasn't recovered yet? That little injury is nothing to him."
Pei Qinggang's body's self-recovery ability is particularly strong, even better than the strongest comrade in his previous special operations force.
After discovering this, Pei Yuanzheng felt in his heart that Pei Qinggang was really the perfect person to join the army.
Moreover, he had to pay Pei Qinggang for his help tonight. I don't know where Pei Qinggang learned this, but his bargaining skills are just as good as his in the free market.
Ruan Niannian didn't say a word as she ran all the way to the destination. She paid close attention to the surrounding environment. After arriving, she found that this place was very familiar. Wasn't it an old house?
Why did Pei Yuanzheng bring her to the old house?
"Wife, no matter what you hear later, don't say a word, just watch the show."
Ruan Niannian nodded, then realized that she was behind him and he couldn't see her, and said again: "Okay."
What on earth was so “fun” that made him so eager to bring her out to see it late at night?
Pei Yuanzheng brought her to the window of the main hall of the old house.
The windows of the old house are very tall. To be called windows, they are just a wooden frame with a few thick wooden beams supported under the tiled roof.
It is at least two meters from the ground.
The three of them stood under the window. Pei Yuanzheng cleared his throat gently, and an old voice came out of his mouth: "Daniel."
Could it be that this... is Pei Xiaowu’s voice?
Even if they were not 100% similar, after what happened during the day, the nickname that Pei Xiaowu used to call her when he was alive could make Li Dani become a frightened bird.
"Who? Who's outside?" Li Dani, who was lying in the room and about to sleep, got up instantly and lit a candle soon. The faint candlelight shone outside through the window above.
Ruan Niannian was extremely excited. Was this the fun thing Pei Yuanzheng brought her to see? He actually had this skill. It was so fun!
Pei Yuanzheng continued: "Daniel, I'm back. I'm back to find you."
“Ouch~~~~~~~”
