Chapter 373: Cutting Through Mountains and Building Bridges Across Rivers



Pei Ziheng raised his eyes, his dark pupils were deeper than ink.

"Liang Xiaowen is your sister. If you want to seek justice for her, I'm always here to help you."

Zhao Yun came back to his senses, "She is my sister, but you are still my brother."

Compared to Pei Ziheng's dark heart and vindictiveness, he was more shocked by the fact that Pei Ziheng had such accuracy.

With a basketball that big, you can hit anyone you want with it. That's too much.

Zhao Yun added: "She was the one who bullied the weak. She deserves to be taught a lesson."

Just one simple sentence, and the attitude has been made clear.

Between his sister and his brother, he chose his brother.

Pei Ziheng's lips curled slightly.

He deliberately told Zhao Yun the truth, which was actually a test of Zhao Yun, and obviously the result made him very satisfied.

"Ziheng, how did you do it? You can hit the target every time. Please teach me!"

Pei Ziheng said succinctly: "Practice more."

Zhao Yun: It’s the same as saying nothing.

However, he and Pei Ziheng are good brothers. If Pei Ziheng is bad, then rounding it off means he is also bad.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun became happy again and laughed like a fool.

In the past, Liang Xiaowen loved to visit Pei's house and always pestered Pei Ziheng to ask for help with homework.

But ever since Pei Ziheng hit her on the head, she never came to the Pei family again, and even hid when she saw Pei Ziheng.

"Wen Ping, the Friendship Department Store is having a summer clothing discount promotion these two days. We're going to take a look after get off work. Are you coming?"

Pei Wenping smiled at her colleagues and said, "You guys go ahead. I have to go to the post office."

Upon hearing her words, several colleagues in the office laughed and joked, "Oh, I forgot that today is the 15th. Did your Chen Yi send money back again?"

"Sister Pei is so lucky. Her man is handsome, talented, able to make money and take care of the family. He sends money home every month. He is a perfect man that you can't find even with a lantern."

"Yeah, if my man can be half as good as Sister Pei's, I will be satisfied."

Listening to the envy of her colleagues, Pei Wenping smiled faintly.

If it were a year ago, she would probably think the same.

Career, love and family, there is no greater happiness than this.

But now, the five words "the best man in the world" only made her feel ironic and ridiculous.

After getting off work at noon, Pei Wenping said goodbye to her colleagues and rode her scooter to the post office.

After receiving the letter and opening it, Pei Wenping was shocked when she saw the amount on the remittance slip.

After hesitating, Pei Wenping took out the address book from her bag and found Chen Yi's phone number.

"Hello, who is this?"

Pei Wenping was a little stunned when she heard the familiar voice on the other end of the phone.

Since Chen Yi went to Shanghai, although she often called home, she always deliberately avoided confronting them.

This was the first time the two had spoken on the phone since Chen Yi left home.

"Hello?"

Pei Wenping cleared her throat and said, "It's me."

"Wen Ping?"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yi's voice was full of surprise, and then he asked with concern: "Did something happen at home?"

"Nothing's wrong at home. I received the remittance slip you sent. Why is the amount so large?"

Upon learning that she called specifically for this matter, Chen Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, this money is my legal income. I wrote a script for the company before, and the movie was released last month. It sold well at the box office, so the company rewarded me with some money."

"I know." Pei Wenping said unhappily, "I'm not worried about you."

"Well, I was just being sentimental."

Chen Yi's temper was as gentle as ever, and his voice was full of intimacy.

In the past, Pei Wenping really enjoyed this kind of interaction with her lover, but now, she just felt awkward and uncomfortable.

There was silence for a moment.

Noticing her emotions, Chen Yi immediately changed the subject and asked about her family and children.

Before we knew it we had been chatting for more than ten minutes.

After hanging up the phone, Pei Wenping couldn't help but be distracted.

But even though she no longer had any resentment towards Chen Yi, she also no longer had any love for him.

Rather than being a couple, she and Chen Yi are more like partners living together, each doing their part and working hard to maintain the integrity of a family.

After withdrawing the money, Pei Wenping still had some time before work, so she rode her scooter to the food factory.

At the food factory, Shen Mingzhu learned that Pei Wenping had not had lunch, so she took her to a small restaurant nearby.

"Sister, what are you talking about?"

While waiting for the food to be served, Shen Mingzhu asked with concern.

Pei Wenping took a sip of tea and said, "Nothing much, I just came to talk to you."

Although she has many friends, many of whom she has grown up with, when she has something on her mind, the first person she thinks of is Shen Mingzhu.

Perhaps she felt that Shen Mingzhu's ideas resonated more with her.

Pei Wenping talked to Shen Mingzhu about Chen Yi sending money home on time every month and some of her thoughts.

"I originally thought that I would divorce him and live our own lives when the children grew up, but now that I think about it, it's not impossible for us to just get along like this."

"But I also feel that forgiving him like this would be too easy for him. Well, I'm really conflicted, so I came to you to talk to you."

Shen Mingzhu could actually understand Pei Wenping's dilemma. After all, they had been together for so many years, and Chen Yi was truly repentant.

It is easy to say that we should let go of things, but it is not easy to do it.

"Sister, you don't have to make a decision right now. Cut a path through the mountains and build a bridge over the water. Take it one step at a time. Time will give you the answer."

"you're right."

Pei Wenping looked at her and smiled, "I knew it was right to come to you. After hearing what you said, the knot in my heart was untied at once."

However, Shen Mingzhu was quite curious about how much money Chen Yi sent back this time, so much so that even Pei Wenping, the old accountant, lost her composure.

"two thousand."

No wonder.

It is equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary working family.

Pei Wenping picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in Shen Mingzhu's bowl. "Eat it. Who cares? Anyway, he said it was legal income. I should spend it. I'll treat you today."

Shen Mingzhu smiled, "Then how about we have some drinks to celebrate?"

"I'm still working this afternoon."

After a pause, he said, "How about drinking less?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled and nodded.

When Shen Mingzhu returned to the factory, Pei Yang had also just returned and was standing in the office with his collar pulled up to cool down with the ceiling fan.

Seeing her coming back from outside with rosy cheeks, Pei Yang didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just because she was hot.

"Come here and blow it."

"OK."

Shen Mingzhu threw her purse onto the sofa, staggered towards him, and was hugged by Pei Yang.

"Have you been drinking?"

Smelling the alcohol on her, Pei Yang found it a little funny and looked down at her with a doting look in his eyes.

"Who did you go out drinking with in the middle of the day?"

"With my eldest sister."

Shen Mingzhu leaned in his arms, rubbing her head gently against his. Her body was as soft as a kitten and her voice was also tender and soft. She told Pei Yang about Chen Yi sending the money back.

When he heard Chen Yi's name, the smile on Pei Yang's face faded a little, but when he saw his wife's drunken and silly appearance, his heart couldn't help but soften.

"How much did you drink?"

"Not much."

"Not much, so how much?"

Shen Mingzhu felt dizzy and her eyelids were heavy. She just wanted to close her eyes and go to sleep, but the man kept chattering and asking questions in her ear.

So annoying.

Just block it.

Shen Mingzhu raised her head, held the man's face and kissed him. (End of this chapter)
