Pei Songbai calmed down after working on his private plot of land for a while. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his young wife leaning against the door frame, shouting that she wanted to separate from the family. Dark clouds immediately gathered in his eyes.
He ignored everyone else and strode up to Xia Wenhua: "You want to split up the family?"
Why is this big shot back?
Xia Wenhua involuntarily shrank her neck, recalling the infamous "cheating" scene from when she first transmigrated, and felt inexplicably guilty.
However, the matter of separating the family is related to the standard of living in this era. If she doesn't separate the family, she can't use the things that she has, even if she has a cheat ability. Even a big shot can't change her mind.
After a moment of guilt, Xia Wenhua met Pei Songbai's gaze directly: "Yes, I want to separate the family. I originally thought that if we gave enough money to the family, we wouldn't have to work anymore. After all, we can't earn much money in the fields in a year, and with so many people in the family, we still need to spend money to buy food."
But even after I took the money, they still made a fuss at home every year because I didn't do any housework. It was too much trouble. I just don't like doing housework. If others really can't stand it, then we might as well separate the household. If I'm in charge of the household myself, I won't have to do any housework, right?
These words were spoken to Pei Songbai, as well as to Pei's mother and his sisters-in-law.
The original owner of the body had plenty of money and felt it was worthwhile to use some of it to solve the problem; she was unwilling to tolerate these greedy people time and time again.
Xia Wenhua stared intently at Pei Songbai, not missing a single change in his expression. The thoughts of the other family members didn't matter; she only cared about Pei Songbai.
After Pei Songbai appeared, Wang Chunhua and the others started complaining, hoping to change Xia Wenhua's mind about separating the family through Pei Songbai's words.
Unfortunately, Pei Songbai completely ignored them. From the moment he entered, his attention was only on Xia Wenhua. He had just brought this woman from the educated youth compound, and now she wanted to separate the family. Could it be that Xia Wenhua was lying to him when she said she wanted to live a good life with him?
The darkness in Pei Songbai's eyes grew thicker and thicker. He almost used all his strength to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth: "If we split up the family, I'll take you to Heilongjiang Province to join the army. You can't live at home by yourself. Are you still willing to do that?"
"Accompanying the army? Is that really a good thing?" Xia Wenhua blurted out instinctively, her tone full of joy.
Pei Songbai's anger dissipated just like that. He blinked and asked incredulously, "You're willing to go with the army?"
"Why wouldn't I want to? Can I really go with you to the army this time?"
Even though she had taken over the original owner's memories, the time she had been in the world was too short for Xia Wenhua to know everything about her past.
In her view, accompanying the army was entirely beneficial. Pei Songbai and the two children were her targets, and she would naturally get along well with them, but she had no connection with anyone else.
Now that she has a chance to break free from other strange relationships and just live her own life in peace, why should she refuse?
Pei Songbai was unaware of Xia Wenhua's thoughts, and he didn't care anymore. He had mentioned joining the army countless times before, but Xia Wenhua had always refused. Now that she had finally agreed, he could finally live a peaceful life like everyone else. Nothing else mattered.
“I’m leaving the day after tomorrow. Go inside and pack your things and the child’s things, and bring the child in with you.” Pei Songbai put aside his other emotions and gave Xia Wenhua a deep look.
After all, they were a couple. He was a rough man from the countryside, and no matter how well he did in the army, a wife, children, and a warm bed were his eternal pursuit.
As long as Xia Wenhua is still willing to raise the child and live a good life with him, the past can be wiped clean. After all, this marriage wasn't easy for Xia Wenhua, an educated woman.
Xia Wenhua hadn't yet understood Pei Songbai's meaning when Pei's mother grabbed the two children and, instead of sending them to Xia Wenhua, looked at Pei Songbai pleadingly: "Songbai, this family can't be divided!"
She was just an ordinary old woman from the countryside, and naturally she hoped that every child could have a good life.
The daughter-in-law below might not know, but how could she not know the situation at home? The second son's family has two children, the third son's family has three, and the fourth son's family will soon have several children as well, all of whom are just good at eating and do no work.
Without the boss's subsidies, we definitely wouldn't be able to make ends meet in the remaining days.
“Mother, if you’re willing to come with me, then come with me. If you’re not, the old pension I’ve been giving you will remain the same, and you can give it to whomever you want. I don’t care. Comrade Xia finally wants to live a good life with me, so I must take her and the child with me. Does it even matter whether this family is divided or not?”
Pei Songbai has always been a sensible person. He would naturally help his family as much as he could, but he also needed to live his own life. He knew what his mother valued, so he immediately brought up his retirement money. Sure enough, his mother's expression gradually softened.
As long as the money was still there, everything was negotiable. Pei Songbai's words made sense, and she gradually began to listen. Knowing that Pei Songbai had a plan and that he would have something else to say after getting rid of Xia Wenhua, Pei's mother sent the two children to Xia Wenhua's side.
"Eldest daughter, you take the child inside first."
Xia Wenhua took the two children from her mother, patted their heads, and looked at the innocent smiles on their faces, which temporarily calmed her anxious heart.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Guang, come into the room with Mommy first, okay?"
The future little villain is only three years old now, still a soft and adorable little dumpling. Suddenly, I felt that my mother was much gentler than usual today, and I excitedly snuggled into her arms.
Xia Wenhua led the two children into the room, and Pei Songbai followed closely behind: "I'll go talk about the division of the family property. You look after the children for now, and we'll have a proper discussion when I get back, Comrade Xia."
He said the last three words in a low voice, and Xia Wenhua's heart skipped a beat.
She actually let such a big mistake slip!
The original owner's marriage to Pei Songbai was a mistake from the start. Apart from a so-called one-night stand under the influence of the world's consciousness, there was absolutely no connection between them. It can be said that this plot appeared only to make the female lead, a country girl, worthy of Pei Songbai, a military officer. Before Pei Songbai's own consciousness was awakened, there were many flaws in the story.
The two had no feelings for each other, and their marriage was only due to societal pressure. Apart from the fact that the original owner moved from the educated youth settlement to the Pei family and had two children, nothing had changed. Even their way of addressing each other was very formal: Comrade Xia and Comrade Pei.
She was so nervous when she first transmigrated that she actually addressed the big boss as "Songbai" in the educated youth compound!
Xia Wenhua had no idea what Pei Songbai was thinking. After Pei Songbai emphasized the title "Comrade Xia" twice and said he wanted to talk to her, she immediately started brainstorming how to get through this!
