Mrs. Pei San talked to Mrs. Pei Er about the problem of cooking, and Mrs. Pei Er still had no objection.
The two of them have always been in agreement.
Because Pei Ersao is quiet and honest, sometimes she can't express her different opinions, so she learned to endure over time.
Not to mention that what Mrs. Pei San talked to her about this time was still very fair. Even if it made their third branch suffer a little loss, she probably wouldn't say anything.
Pei Qingbai is even more like this.
Since ancient times, the son caught in the middle has not been valued.
The only time he rebelled against Li Dani was when he went to join the army. For the sake of Pei Ersao, he refused to go.
He even said that if he was allowed to go, he would kill himself and let Li Dani pretend that she had never given birth to him.
In the following seven years, he was silently criticized for what he said and never refuted a word from Li Dani. As a result, the second branch of the Pei family became the lowest and most humble existence in the Pei family before the family split up.
Regarding the fact that the three families were building a house together, Pei Qingbai and Pei Ersao were actually very grateful to Pei Yuanzheng and his wife for taking them along.
If it were them, they would definitely not be able to persuade Eighth Uncle to help. Moreover, the people from the clan did not charge them for their work, but only provided them with a meal. They had never dared to even think about it before.
The three sisters-in-law got together to discuss how many people were coming, how many dishes to prepare, and whether to add some sweet potatoes to the rice.
Second Sister Pei said that she must have it. Ruan Niannian thought that Second Sister Pei was afraid of paying more, so she simply said, "Second Sister Pei, please have some dry rice. You have to make sure that the brothers who came to help you have enough to eat."
"Sister-in-law, it's not like that." Pei's wife's face flushed red. She didn't want to save the two cents.
"For a big project like this that requires people to work, it is true that we need to cook rice, but we must mix it with sweet potatoes. Eating something sweet at noon will give us more energy to work in the afternoon. If we only eat rice, we will be criticized if others find out."
So that's how it is. She was overthinking it.
Ruan Niannian apologized frankly, "I'm sorry, second sister-in-law, I misunderstood you. I don't have much experience, so I'll just do as you say."
Instead of her, who knows nothing, getting involved and making decisions, it would be better to let those who know discuss it.
The three Pei brothers came back in the morning, and their three sisters-in-law were washing, cutting and preparing ingredients.
Not long after, Pei Qingsong also came here with Pei Dasao.
The three younger brothers were building a house together, and as the eldest brother, he actually heard about it from others while he was at work. He felt embarrassed and upset at the same time.
He immediately took leave and went to the team, where he happened to meet his three younger brothers who had just returned from the homestead.
They are discussing the problem of bricks and tiles.
"You can use my batch of stuff first. If it's not enough, let Brother Qingshan replenish it today. He has a good relationship with the factory manager, and the price he gives me is much cheaper than if we buy it ourselves."
"Okay, then we can ask the captain to help us buy it." Pei Qingyang agreed, "Then the three of us will send some things to the captain together. He will help us a lot."
Pei Qingbai also said: "Anyway, you guys just make the decision. I won't go to work after we finish discussing it. I'll go over there to help."
He also wanted to let Pei Qingyang and Pei Yuanzheng go to work and earn work points.
I really don’t know what to say. He is such an honest man, so honest that people feel embarrassed to bully him.
"Second brother, we have to go over and help too." Pei Yuanzheng said quickly, "Everyone of us has a share in building the house. I'm not saying that we contributed exactly the same amount, but we will definitely not push the work that Third brother and I should do to you, don't worry."
Pei Qingbai was uncomfortable. He was not very good at speaking and waved his hands repeatedly. "That's not what I meant. I meant that as a brother, I must do more."
With every word he spoke, his inferiority complex became stronger. Pei Yuanzheng and Pei Qingyang quickly expressed their understanding.
They are all brothers, so they don’t really have any big opinions on who does more and who does less.
Maybe in the past, under the control of a biased mother, everyone had their own ideas.
When the controller can no longer control them, the truest side of their emotions will be exposed.
This is also one of the reasons why Pei Yuanzheng was determined to split the family.
Just a few days after being discharged from the army, he felt suffocated staying in that house.
Li Dani is strong and greedy; Pei Qingsong enjoys the status quo and is unwilling to take the initiative to change it; Pei Qingbai is honest and cowardly and dares not say a word when being bullied; Pei Qingyang does not want to be controlled and can only express his inner dissatisfaction by showing off, and naturally he cannot avoid being scolded by Li Dani several times a day.
As for himself.
It seems that she has been favored and spoiled by Li Dani since she joined the army, but in fact, she did it just to suck his blood. After learning that he had been discharged from the army, the way she spoke to him was not like a mother at all.
Her attitude changed only until she learned that Ruan Niannian's father was the deputy director of their city's steel plant.
After several hot and cold cycles, Pei Yuanzheng, who had a keen sense of smell after joining the army, immediately noticed the mixed elements in her so-called "maternal love".
That's why he decided to split the family immediately under pressure from Ruan's father and mother.
There are many ways to cope with stress, but he chose to give up.
Sure enough, just one day after the separation, the two brothers and sister-in-law began to have light in their eyes.
The future still has many uncertainties, but their little family has a future since the day they separated!
"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, I'm sorry, eldest brother is late."
Pei Qingsong's expression naturally interrupted him, and Mrs. Pei also walked towards the stove.
There is no overnight hatred between brothers, and the relationship between them is not bad.
Seeing Pei Qingsong, Pei Qingyang felt awkward for a moment, but still greeted him openly, "Big brother is here, big brother, I was wrong yesterday, I was just confused for a moment, don't take it to heart."
"Oh, they're all my brothers. They're all over." Pei Qingsong didn't care at all.
The way the four brothers get along seems no different than before, yet it also seems completely different.
Pei Yuanzheng was secretly satisfied.
This kind of brotherly love and respect is the real brotherly love and respect, instead of appearing to obey the eldest brother in everything while thinking in heart that the eldest brother has everything. Of course, it is easy to talk without any worries.
Pei Qingbai was better off. He was used to being exploited, so he would be flattered if he received the slightest attention and would want to repay it tenfold.
After listening to the discussion of his three younger brothers, Pei Qingsong unconsciously began to speak as the eldest brother: "I am very happy that you can stand on your own feet. Last night, I also discussed with your eldest sister-in-law. During the time you are building the house, the two of us will help here. And."
He took out a purse with a closed top from his inner pocket, opened it, and found a lot of banknotes inside.
"This is a little gift from my brother. I don't have much on hand right now. You can share some of it. At least it will relieve some of the pressure."
