Chapter 49 Li Family Affairs
Su Wanwan held down Su Chaochao, who was about to run to Pei Changfeng, and just watched from a distance.
"Okay," Pei Changfeng pretended to know nothing, "I haven't seen you for a long time. How did you do in the exam this time?"
Song Ming handed over all the tasks of plotting against Pei Changfeng to Wu Sanniang and Zhou Lingshan. He knew that Wu Sanniang was dead and Zhou Lingshan was disabled.
But if Pei Changfeng knew that it was him who ordered it, how could he pretend to be completely unaware?
Just because he is now a juren and a jieyuan, the government will definitely take him seriously, unless Pei Changfeng is too scheming and is still lying dormant?
In just a short moment, Song Ming's mind was already in a thousand thoughts. He hoped that Pei Changfeng didn't know that he did it. After all, he just wanted to compete for a spot to go to the provincial capital. Now that everyone has achieved honors, wouldn't it be better to be friends and help each other in officialdom in the future?
"It's OK, but not as good as you," Song Ming probed, "I heard that your leg was seriously injured. When did it heal?"
"I met a good doctor not long ago. He cured my leg disease with his miraculous hands," Pei Changfeng smiled. "I am lucky. Not only did my leg get cured, but I also got my revenge. The person who hurt me finally got his retribution."
"The one who hurt you?" Song Ming pretended to be surprised. "Isn't it an accident? Who hurt you?"
"It's someone I never thought of," Pei Changfeng said with a deeper smile, "My relative, but it doesn't matter, they are probably meeting on the road to the underworld now."
"What a beast!" Song Ming felt a chill on his back for no reason. "It's getting late today, so I won't chat with you any more. I'll host a dinner for you in a few days, and then I'll leave first."
Song Ming left in a hurry. Chen Liang glanced at Pei Changfeng, seeming a little puzzled. "I'm also curious, why don't you just report it to the government? Is it Song Ming who was the mastermind behind your murder?"
Pei Changfeng shook his head, "It's still early."
Su Wanwan brought Su Chaochao over and asked, "Who was that just now?"
Pei Changfeng briefly explained the matter. Su Wanwan's beautiful eyes widened and she waved her fist angrily, as if she wanted to catch up and hit Song Ming twice. "He looked so gentle, but he turned out to be a beast!"
There were many people on the street, so the few of them did not stay long and returned to their residence.
The room where Su Wanwan and Pei Changfeng were going to sleep had already been tidied up. It wasn’t until she washed up and lay down on it that Su Wanwan realized how big the bed was!
She tossed around in bed twice and muttered, "Now it seems the bed we slept in before was really small."
It is indeed small, but now Su Wanwan feels that this ordinary-sized bed is big enough.
Su Wanwan leaned in Pei Changfeng's arms and asked him, "Husband, when we have money in the future, I want to make a very large bed, is that ok?"
"Why make such a big bed?" Pei Changfeng put the book next to the pillow, a little curious.
"Hmm..." Su Wanwan thought for a moment, "How about rolling around? I want to roll around on the bed!"
Pei Changfeng laughed muffledly, "Okay, play a big one, you can roll around however you want."
The more Su Wanwan thought about it, the more excited she became, and she hugged Pei Changfeng and wanted to kiss him.
Pei Changfeng hesitated for a moment, and when he looked again, Su Wanwan was squinting at him.
"What's wrong?"
"You don't want to kiss me?" Su Wanwan looked at him inquiringly, "What do you mean? Don't you like me so soon?"
"No..." Pei Changfeng wanted to explain, but Su Wanwan's words were like pouring beans and he was speechless.
"As expected, those who read too much are unfaithful. I have served you for so long, sold everything I had to pay for your medical treatment, and I didn't mind your poverty or your disabled legs. I even ruined my body for you, and you treat me like this, you treat me like this, wuwuwu!" Su Wanwan hit him in the chest twice, "Unfaithful man! Unfaithful man!"
Pei Changfeng wanted to grab her hand, but Su Wanwan broke free.
Seeing her angrily facing away from him, Pei Changfeng could only say, "I'm afraid I can't control myself."
"What can't you help?" Su Wanwan sniffed, "You're making excuses."
"Have you forgotten what Senior Hu said?" Pei Changfeng turned her body over, "Senior Hu said that we can't have sex before June next year."
Su Wanwan was silent for a moment, then opened his hand, a little shyly, "Who said I wanted to do that with you? I just wanted to kiss you, oh, don't say that again, it's so embarrassing!"
Pei Changfeng kissed her lips, "Let's start now?"
Su Wanwan nodded with a red face, then closed her eyes and waited for him to kiss her.
Her red lips were slightly pouted. Pei Changfeng chuckled and then kissed her.
The kiss tonight was the same as last time. Pei Changfeng kissed her neck and ears, but his hands did not touch the cotton again. He only pinched her waist and legs.
Su Wanwan always felt that something was becoming increasingly wrong as they were kissing, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. In short, it was quite strange.
After breakfast the next day, Su Wanwan took Xingzhou to the street to buy vegetables.
It is no longer possible to raise chickens in the city, but Su Wanwan still wants to make chicken soup for Pei Changfeng, so she can only buy it from the street every day.
Because Xingzhou was just a child to her, Su Wanwan bought him a roujiamo for him to eat, and bought one for herself. The two walked one in front and one behind, just like siblings.
Su Wanwan bought the boat not to make him a laborer, but to find a helper for the family.
She saw someone selling melons and asked Xingzhou, "Do you want to eat honeydew melon or orange?"
Xingzhou said, "Honeydew melon, please."
"Okay." Su Wanwan bought a honeydew melon, paid for it and asked Xingzhou to take it.
The two walked around and bought a chicken, a big grass carp, and some seasonings to take back.
Su Wanwan has already thought about what to eat for lunch today. Just braised fish and stir-fried winter melon will do. The chicken can be stewed first and the soup can be drunk in the evening.
As they were walking, Su Wanwan noticed that Xingzhou suddenly stopped moving. She turned around and saw Xingzhou staring at a couple who were dressed decently not far away.
The man seemed to have noticed the boat and was very surprised. "Why are you back?"
Xing Zhou glared at him, "You beast who sold his son!"
Su Wanwan was surprised, it turned out that this man was Xingzhou's father!
The man sneered, and the woman next to him also looked over, looking at Xingzhou and Su Wanwan with disdain, and pulled the man and said, "Don't say anything more to this little beast, let's go."
Xingzhou was so angry that he was shaking all over. Su Wanwan held him back and said, "Okay, let's go back and talk about it first."
Xingzhou will never forget that man brought a woman back home on the night his mother died. He lowered his head and apologized to Su Wanwan, "I'm sorry, ma'am. I was reckless."
"You are still a child," Su Wanwan smiled, "It's okay, let's go."
Her tolerance made Xingzhou feel warm in his heart. He felt that he was very lucky to meet her and Pei Changfeng again after being sold.
After returning home, Pei Changfeng heard about Xingzhou's encounter with his biological father. He just nodded and said, "Don't be afraid. He won't dare to do anything."
Xingzhou was naturally very convinced by his words.
But the accident still happened.
The next morning, Su Wanwan opened the door and saw the man standing at the door. She became alert and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The man was Xingzhou's father Li Qing.
Li Qing looked into the room and said, "Let me see Xingzhou. I have something to say to him."
"No." After saying this word, Su Wanwan closed the door neatly. It was really unlucky so early in the morning.
But the man did not give up, nor did he make a fuss. He just sat at the door, causing Widow Liu, who came to visit, to think he was a beggar and almost gave him two copper coins to send him away. But when she heard that he was Xingzhou's shameless father, she rolled her eyes and wanted to hit him with a stick.
Su Chaochao chewed the melon, seemingly not understanding what was going on, until Su Wanwan gave him an example, "For example, your mother sold you."
Su Chaochao suddenly felt that the melon was not sweet anymore. She hugged Widow Liu and whined and acted coquettishly, asking her not to sell her out.
Kids nowadays are so funny. Su Wanwan pinched Su Chaochao’s face.
"It's not good for him to just sit at the door. What if others think we did something wrong and he's here to collect the debt?"
Xingzhou remained silent. Pei Changfeng made him twist straw bundles in the yard and would not let him go out.
"Just sit down," Su Wanwan fiddled with the star anise, cinnamon and other marinade ingredients she bought yesterday, "As long as he can sit still, he can sit for as long as he wants. He can do such a shameless thing as selling out his son, so why would he be afraid of being embarrassed by sitting outside? Anyway, I have nothing to fear, and I will say the same thing even if someone asks me."
She wrapped the ingredients for the stew in cloth, then asked Widow Liu to light the stove and prepare to stew the dishes.
"Why do you suddenly want to stew food?" Widow Liu was confused. "The weather is hot and cold, and it's inedible after two days at most. How much do you want to stew?"
"It's been braised for two days. I'm a little greedy," Su Wanwan said, "lotus root, tofu, bean curd skin and a chicken."
Smelling the food, Widow Liu felt a little greedy, so she didn't ask any questions and helped her get it done.
Li Qing, who was sitting at the door, waited for a long time but the door didn't open, so she called out, "Son, Xingzhou, Dad is here to see you. Dad knows he was wrong, please let Dad take a look at you."
Everyone in the yard looked at Xingzhou who was twisting the straw bundle. Xingzhou said nothing and lowered his head. No one could see the expression on his face.
Li Qing kept shouting, and Su Wanwan couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked Pei Changfeng to open the door and ask him what he wanted to do.
Seeing Pei Changfeng open the door, Li Qing said straight to the point, "How much did you spend on Li Xingzhou? I will pay double and let my son go back with me!"
Pei Changfeng said calmly: "Dream on, if you don't leave I will report you to the police and accuse you of disturbing the public."
"How can I be considered a nuisance if I go looking for my son?" Li Qing was dissatisfied. "Even if there is a grudge between father and son, it is not your turn as an outsider to interfere."
"I'm not an outsider. Xingzhou and I are a family now," Pei Changfeng was about to close the door, "I won't see you off."
Xingzhou came over and said, "Master, can I have a word with him?"
This was Xingzhou's decision, so Pei Changfeng naturally wouldn't question it. He nodded and made way for Xingzhou.
"What do you want to do?"
Li Qing's face no longer had the arrogance and indifference he had when he looked at Xingzhou yesterday. He looked at Xingzhou almost flatteringly, "Son, Dad misses you. Come home with Dad. I was wrong before."
After saying this, he actually burst into tears.
Su Wanwan, who was sitting in the yard eating stewed food but actually paying attention to every move at the door, was stunned. What happened that could have caused such a drastic change in Xingzhou's father in just one day?
"Why?" Xingzhou took a step back. "What's the reason?"
"I, I, the doctor said that Dad can't have children in the future. From now on, you are Dad's only son. Everything Dad has is yours. Xingzhou, Dad really did something wrong before. You come back with Dad. Dad promises to divorce that evil woman, and we can live a good life from now on."
Hearing this, everyone in the yard breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Wanwan was so excited while brushing the lotus roots, it turned out that she was unable to have children. No wonder she remembered that she had such a son.
I have to say, God is fair.
Since this is the case, Su Wanwan feels that Xingzhou can go back, because neither his father nor his stepmother can threaten him in that home.
Widow Liu muttered to herself, "Listen to me, you silly girl. There is no other stepmother as good as me in the world."
Su Wanwan did not comment.
Xing Zhou looked at Li Qing quietly for a while, "How can I trust you?"
Hearing that there was still hope, Li Qing said quickly, "As long as you are willing to come back, I will divorce that thief immediately and make her kowtow to you and apologize!"
Xingzhou shook his head, "Did you sell me out for her?"
Li Qing quickly denied, "Absolutely not. It was that evil woman who instigated me. Otherwise, why would I sell my own son? You are my child who grew up under my care. How could your father have the heart to do that?"
Li Qing burst into tears, "Son, I have my own difficulties, too. Just believe me, and I will make it up to you double in the future."
After learning that he would never be able to have children again, Li Qing's first thought was to be thankful that the son he sold was still alive.
Xingzhou smiled and said, "Okay, prove it to me."
After saying that, Xingzhou closed the door.
Li Qing walked towards home resolutely.
The Li family was considered a moderately wealthy family. When Li Qing returned, Wang was lying on the table crying. Seeing Li Qing, she scolded her, "You are such a heartless person. You actually went back to find that little bastard. Have you forgotten what you said when you married me?"
"You know shit," Li Qing pulled her, "Compared to the incense inheritance of my Li family, who are you? I'm going to divorce you!"
Wang started fighting with him, "You are useless and you can't have children. It's none of my business. If I marry another man, I can still have children!"
Wang rushed out, but was pulled back by Li Qing, "Go and apologize to my son!"
Wang's eyes widened. "It was your idea to sell your son. Why should I apologize? Even for killing his mother...ah! You dare to hit me! I will fight you!"
Li Qing looked at her viciously, "Shut up!"
Wang suddenly saw through this man and burst into tears. After Li Qing wrote the divorce letter, she knew it was not a good place to stay for long, so she quickly packed up a few of her valuables and left.
Li Qing took the divorce letter to find Xingzhou, thinking that she could take her son home. However, as soon as she walked out of the door, she was surrounded by soldiers, and Wang was also arrested.
Xingzhou stood aside and said, "This man killed my mother!"
This group of officers and soldiers had been waiting outside when the quarrel broke out in the house. When Li Qing came out, the leading yamen runner stepped forward and said, "You are plotting to murder your wife. Let's go!"
