Pei Wenping deliberately blamed him because she was actually worried that her nephew would say something wrong or let something slip, causing his younger brother to misunderstand.
But she didn't know that although Pei Ziheng was young, he was more cunning than honeycomb briquettes.
"I invited him to my mother's wedding."
After saying that, Pei Ziheng turned to Pei Yang and said, "Dad, Mom doesn't have many friends. If we have one more guest, we can not only collect more gifts, but also make your wedding with Mom more lively."
Pei Ziheng's independent thinking really pleased Pei Yang.
Although he and Yan Yi had only met twice and had never spoken a single word to each other.
But the dream he had when he was on the verge of death made him feel fear and hostility towards Yan Yi.
Even if his son didn't invite him, he would find a way to get Yan Yi to attend his wedding with his wife. He wanted Yan Yi to see with his own eyes how he brought his wife home.
If you want to snatch his wife, wait for the next life!!! Pei Wenping didn’t know what the father and son were thinking, and she was very conflicted.
On the one hand, she thought it was a good thing for Yan Yi to come to the wedding. Seeing her brother and sister-in-law being so loving, she could give up her illusions about her brother Xun.
On the other hand, she thought it would be better to let her sister-in-law have less contact with Yan Yi. After all, Yan Yi seemed to be no worse than her brother in all aspects. If he abducted her sister-in-law, who would she cry to?
But her nephew had already spoken, so it was useless for her to worry about it, so she just stopped caring.
…
In the bar.
Ning Yuan pinched his chin and stared at Yan Yi opposite him with a playful look.
The person whom he couldn't even call out to normally, today actually took the initiative to ask him out for a drink. He looked like he was in a state of distress and wanted to get drunk. Ning Yuan was almost dying of curiosity.
"Old Yan, you look like this, and if someone doesn't know you, they would think you were dumped by a woman."
Yan Yi lowered his eyes and stared at the wine in the glass, ignoring Ning Yuan's teasing.
She was married, had children, a husband, and a family, and he knew all of this from the beginning.
He actually didn't intend to destroy her marriage and family, but when he learned that she married the guy named Pei without even a wedding, he really couldn't stay calm and composed.
I can't tell whether I'm angry, or feel sorry for her, or feel wronged for her, or feel distressed or unwilling.
He knew that he had no right or position to speak up for her. Perhaps in her eyes, he was not even a friend.
But emotions are something that cannot be controlled by human hearts.
He has been strict with himself and restrained since childhood, but now he has fallen to the point of drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
The spicy wine slid down my throat, and only the intense burning sensation brought by the alcohol could barely suppress the jealousy in my heart.
When Zhong Qing arrived, Yan Yi was already drunk and unconscious.
"What's wrong with him?"
Ning Yuan shrugged, "I want to know too. From the moment we sat down until now, we haven't said a single word except drinking."
Ning Yuan had also drunk a lot and couldn't drive, so he asked Zhong Qing to pick him up.
Zhong Qing was conscientious and sent the two people back to their respective residences.
"Zhong Qing."
After sending Yan Yi home, when Zhong Qing was about to go home, Yan Yi suddenly called out to her from the sofa.
She turned around and saw Yan Yi sitting up from the sofa, so she put down her bag and went to pour him a glass of water.
"Thanks."
Yan Yi drank the water, and holding the cup, he asked Zhong Qing, "Have you ever been jealous of others?"
"No." Zhong Qing looked at him and said softly, "But I know what it feels like to hate someone."
Seeing her surprised expression, Yan Yi laughed sarcastically, "Are you surprised? I felt the same way as you when I found out."
Zhong Qing's light brown eyes showed understanding, "So you went to the bar to get drunk and drown your sorrows."
Yan Yi shook the water in the glass and said, "Unfortunately, wine can't dispel sorrow."
Zhong Qing smiled and said, "Your behavior makes me want to meet Mingzhu's husband. What kind of person is he to make the eldest son of the Yan family so frustrated?"
…
Shen Baolan looked at herself in the mirror and took a few steps back so that the palm-sized mirror could reflect her waist and belly.
After looking in the mirror, Shen Baolan asked Liu Cuihua to borrow a large scale.
The big scale is usually used to weigh pigs and sheep. Liu Cuihua couldn't lift it by herself, so she had to call Shen Dashan and Shen Hao back to help.
Shen Baolan sat in the basket, Shen Dashan and Shen Hao lifted it up with a shoulder pole, and Liu Cuihua watched the scale.
After a busy period of work, the whole family finally weighed Shen Baolan.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
110 catties.
Shen Baolan shook her head, "Not enough, you need to lose some more weight."
Liu Cuihua was so anxious that she picked up a mirror and pointed it at her face, "Look at how thin you are. If you get any thinner, you'll be just skin and bones. Don't you want to live anymore?"
Shen Dashan and Shen Hao also tried to persuade him.
Although Shen Baolan had caused a lot of trouble before and even caused Shen Hao to be locked up for a few days, both father and son were carefree and forgot about the incident after it happened. They still treated Shen Baolan like a treasure.
Shen Baolan was very determined and insisted that Liu Cuihua go to the town to buy her two meters of cotton gauze so that she could wrap her waist. Her waist was still too thick and not as thin as Shen Mingzhu's.
At the Zhou family’s dinner table.
Ma Sufen looked at her son who was eating in silence and urged him, "Take some time to talk to her again. If it doesn't work out, go to court for divorce. Your third cousin has a good boyfriend. His husband died last year and they have a four-year-old daughter. But he has a city hukou and a formal job. After you divorce Shen Baolan, you can go meet him and try to get along with him if it's a good match."
Zhou Shuhuan didn't have any idea about blind dates. Two failed marriages had made him completely lose confidence and interest in marriage.
However, he didn't want to delay his divorce from Shen Baolan any longer, so he took advantage of his rest the next day to go to Shenjiagou.
When he arrived at the Shen family, Zhou Shuhuan did not see Shen Baolan.
However, Shen Baolan sent him a message through Liu Cuihua, saying that she would go to him to file for a divorce after waiting for another half a month.
Shen Baolan finally gave in, and Zhou Shuhuan didn't want to push her too hard, so he just waited for another half a month.
Coming out of Shen's house and walking towards the village entrance, Zhou Shuhuan couldn't help but look back several times in the direction of Shen Mingzhu's parents' home, feeling extremely melancholy.
When I returned to the family compound, I met Pei Yang and his son who had just returned from outside at the door.
Upon learning that Zhou Shuhuan was not going to work today, Pei Yang warmly invited Zhou Shuhuan to his home for dinner.
Zhou Shuhuan did not refuse.
After entering Pei's house, Zhou Shuhuan subconsciously looked at the furnishings in the living room. It was almost the same as the last time he came, but the coffee table and tablecloth were changed into different patterns.
The flowers in the vase on the coffee table had also changed. They were a snow-white color that he had never seen before. They were elegant and quiet, just like her.
"I heard that you are planning to divorce Shen Baolan?"
When asked by Pei Yang, Zhou Shuhuan did not hide anything and told him about his trip to Shenjiagou to find Shen Baolan today.
Seeing that he was in a low mood, Pei Yang smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, if you get divorced, keep your eyes open and find a better one next time."
Not sure if it was the smile on Pei Yang's face or the words he said that irritated Zhou Shuhuan, he felt sarcastic in his heart: "What about you, Brother Yang, are you planning to drag Shen Mingzhu along like this for the rest of your life?"
