However, Pei Yang was not there, and the bunks were cold, obviously having been up for a long time.

Shen Mingzhu got up and dressed in a good mood, and was very satisfied with the man's behavior of keeping his promise.

Pei Yang came back from climbing the mountain and was stopped by Pei Wenping at the hotel entrance.

Looking at his body covered in dew, Pei Wenping was very disappointed. "What can I say about you? I have spent so much effort to create conditions for you, but you don't sleep with your wife and go hiking? Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Pei Yang cleared his throat and explained, "I went there after I woke up."

Pei Wenping looked at him, "How did you feel last night?"

Pei Yang scratched his head and said, "It's OK."

At least I can lie in the same bed with my wife, which is a big improvement compared to before.

However, Pei Wenping, who had no idea of ​​Pei Yang's true thoughts, felt very disappointed.

Just for a few seconds, and you still feel good about yourself?

It's a waste of its big size, but it looks good but is useless.

Alas, I'll just worry about her! We had breakfast at the Farmhouse Inn. It was egg noodle soup with pickled cabbage made by the owner. It was sour and delicious.

While eating, Shen Mingzhu thought about the car and deliberately asked Pei Wenping, "Sister, how are we going to get back to the city after dinner? Isn't the car broken? We need to wait for someone to fix it, right?"

"No need, the car is ready." Pei Wenping replied.

Shen Mingzhu pretended to be curious, "How did it get better?"

"It will heal on its own."

“…”

No, you don't even pretend? Shen Mingzhu had no idea that Pei Wenping was so worried about her brother's health that she couldn't care about anything else.

After breakfast, the four drove back to the city.

Shen Mingzhu obviously noticed that Pei Wenping was in a bad mood. In fact, she noticed it when they were having breakfast.

"Sister, did you not sleep well last night?"

Shen Mingzhu asked out of polite concern.

Pei Wenping looked at her with complicated eyes, "Did you sleep well last night?"

“It’s pretty good.”

I slept until dawn and didn't even dream.

Pei Wenping hesitated to speak, and finally sighed, "Forget it, as long as you feel good."

But I thought to myself that my brother's wife was from the countryside, and probably no one taught her before they got married, so she didn't understand anything about matters between men and women.

Her brother is such a person that even her own sister despises him, but her sister-in-law actually thinks he is good.

Shen Mingzhu always felt that Pei Wenping's words had hidden meanings, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, was Pei Wenping disappointed that nothing happened between her and Pei Yang?

This elder sister-in-law is too enthusiastic.

Subconsciously, Shen Mingzhu glanced towards the front row.

As luck would have it, Pei Yang just looked up and met her gaze through the rearview mirror.

After smiling at her, Pei Yang withdrew his gaze and looked intently at the car window.

When we came here, Chen Yi drove the car, and today it was Pei Yang's turn to drive when we went back.

Facts have proved that men who can drive a boat are also really good drivers and drive very steadily.

——

A few days after returning from the hot spring, Shen Chaobei and Du Juan brought Daya into the city.

Both of them were born in the countryside, and the farthest place they had been to was the town when they were getting their marriage certificate.

The city’s buildings, spacious streets, bustling businesses, a wide range of merchandise, and the traffic lights at the intersections, everything felt unfamiliar and new to the family of three.

When they entered the room, Shen Chaobei and Du Juan didn't even dare to step forward when they saw the tile floor which was cleaner than their faces.

Only after hearing Shen Mingzhu say that they had to clean the house every day did the couple dare to bring their child into the house.

After entering the door, the family of three was once again shocked by the layout of the living room.

Shen Mingzhu generously showed the family of three around the house, and then asked Pei Ziheng to take Daya downstairs to play, while she chatted with her eldest brother and sister-in-law.

The couple were both reserved and serious people. They sat for a long time and drank several cups of tea but were unable to open their mouths to talk about business. It was Shen Mingzhu who took the initiative to ask about it.

"Brother, sister-in-law, have you discussed the division of the family property?"

Only then did Shen Chaobei start talking and explained his purpose.

Shen Mingzhu was not too surprised to learn that the old couple wanted to separate the eldest son, Shen Chaobei, to set up their own business. But what she didn't expect was that Qin Jinlian would not use money to help the couple build a new house, but let them find a way themselves.

"...Mingzhu, your sister-in-law and I came to you out of necessity. We want to borrow some money from you to build two new houses. Don't worry, we will definitely pay you back, or I will write you an IOU..."

"Brother."

Shen Mingzhu interrupted Shen Chaobei, "I can't lend this money."

Shen Chaobei's face showed deep disappointment, his lips opened and closed, but in the end he couldn't utter a word.

"It's okay, I, I'll think of a way..."

After he said that, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, so he could only lower his head in embarrassment.

Du Juan, who was standing next to Shen Chaobei, hesitated for a while before asking what was in her heart, "Mingzhu, you said before that you would teach me how to make egg cakes, do you still mean it?"

"Calculate."

Du Juan's worry turned into joy, and Shen Chaobei's honest and simple face beside her also showed some light and expectation.

Shen Mingzhu looked at the simple and honest Shen Chaobei and said helplessly, "Brother, don't you have anything else to ask me?"

Shen Chaobei asked hurriedly, "Mingzhu, are you doing well? Where's Pei Yang? Did he give you any trouble because of the Yang family's affairs?"

Shen Mingzhu sighed, "Brother, why don't you ask me why I don't lend you money?"

Shen Chaobei was stunned for a long time before he stammered, "You naturally have your own difficulties. We shouldn't have come to you. You have helped the family enough."

Shen Mingzhu was too lazy to beat around the bush and said bluntly: "I don't lend you the money, not because I don't trust you and sister-in-law, nor do I stand idly by, but this is not the way to do it."

"What do you mean by dividing the family? Dividing the family means dividing the family property. Separating you people and not giving you any of the family property? That doesn't make sense!"

"Your parents must use the money from their home to build your new house. If they refuse, then there is no need to divide the family. You can live the same way as before."

No more separation?

Shen Chaobei and Du Juan looked at each other.

"Your eldest sister-in-law and I have already agreed to separate the family business, but now you're saying no. What should I say to my parents?"

Shen Mingzhu sneered, "Just tell the truth, just say you have no place to live, I don't believe that my parents can force you out."

"Chaobei, just listen to Mingzhu. Anyway, we won't split up the family. There are people who are more anxious than us."

The fact that sister-in-law Du Juan could say this made Shen Mingzhu look at her with a higher regard.

Shen Chaobei wanted to go back that day, but Shen Mingzhu took into consideration that it was the couple's first time in the city and wanted to take them around the city to broaden their horizons, so she let the family of three stay for a few more days and go back after the New Year.

The Pei family couldn't accommodate everyone, so they opened a hotel with double beds near their home.

Over in Shenjiagou, Qin Jinlian waited and waited but the eldest couple didn't come back. She was very worried and kept muttering about it when she went to sleep at night.

"It's been three days, why hasn't the boss come back yet?"

"I don't know how much money the eldest brother borrowed from Mingzhu. It would be best if he could borrow more. Then he can buy a gold chain for Lizhen. It would also be good for her to give birth to a big fat grandson for me to hold in my arms soon."
