"If you really think so, then you should understand whether what you said to Zihao was a bit too much. You asked him not to play with Tianyu. The two brothers sleep in the same room, go to the same school, and live in the same family. Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for him by saying this?"
Pei Zhiqiang said.
Wan Cuilan frowned and finally said reluctantly:
"Alright, alright, stop nagging me. I was impulsive. I really shouldn't have scolded him today. This kid usually respects me. I may have hurt him with my words. When he comes back, I will apologize to him and let this matter go!"
I saw that Wan Cuilan's attitude finally changed.
Pei Zhiqiang nodded with relief, "That's good. Don't do such hurtful things as a family in the future."
After saying that, Pei Zhiqiang went out. After walking a few steps, he saw the little kid in the yard, leaning under the orange tree and basking in the warm sunshine.
Pei Zhiqiang blinked at her.
Pei Tiantian also blinked mischievously to show that she received it.
"Your second aunt said she was going to apologize to Zihao."
Pei Zhiqiang said with a smile.
"They will surely reconcile soon!"
Pei Tiantian said with her little face tilted up.
"Thanks to your clever idea!" Pei Zhiqiang exclaimed, reaching out and pinching her little bun.
This was the first time he told such a lie.
Pei Zihao's head must have been hit by a brick, causing his intelligence to decline, so his grades are so bad now.
It's all bullshit.
These were all taught to him by Pei Tiantian.
Pei Tiantian just smiled.
She just passed by Wan Cuilan's house and heard what she said to Pei Zihao.
Pei Tiantian understood that this second aunt might have always been resentful towards her eldest cousin.
If the two people are not reconciled for a long time, there will inevitably be a gap between them, and the relationship between the first and second wives will inevitably be affected.
Although Pei Zihao is sometimes unreliable, he has always been a good brother and has always been kind to Pei Tianyu.
So Pei Tiantian thought of a white lie and told it to Pei Zhiqiang, asking him to tell it to Wan Cuilan.
As long as Wan Cuilan feels a little guilty towards Pei Zihao and is willing to take the initiative to reconcile with him, then this matter will be completely over.
Fortunately, although Wan Cuilan is usually annoying, she is always a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Not long after, Pei Zihao was brought back by Pei Tianyu with red eyes.
Wan Cuilan also came over and said sorry to him, saying that she had spoken without thinking.
When Pei Zihao heard that Wan Cuilan actually apologized to him, he was so shocked that he couldn't believe it and no longer had the energy to be angry.
This little matter just passed, and by the evening the Pei family was back to normal.
However, when Zhou Wanhong and Pei Zhiwen came back on their bicycles, Zhou Wanhong, who always loved to laugh, had red eyes and could not force a smile on her face.
It feels like I'm being bullied.
Pei Tiantian's eyelids twitched.
Zhou Wanhong rarely reveals her emotions like this; she and Pei Zhiwen are a loving couple and have never had an argument.
There is only one possibility...
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with brother?"
Wan Cuilan asked hurriedly.
Zhou Wanhong shook her head. "Our factory may be going bankrupt. Everyone has heard the news."
When these words were spoken, the Pei family was stunned.
Pei Tiantian sighed in her heart.
As expected, a wave of layoffs is coming.
Zhou Wanhong was laid off first, and not long after, it was Pei Zhiwen's turn.
The Pei family's largest source of income was completely cut off, and the entire family fell into trouble.
Pei Zhiwen started a business to make money, but ended up having all his savings swindled away and he has never recovered since then.
Zhou Wanhong also cried all day and was depressed.
She absolutely could not sit idly by and watch these things happen to her uncle and aunt.
"How could it suddenly collapse? Wasn't your ceramic factory profitable?" Pei Zhiqiang asked.
"That was all in the past. The performance has been getting worse in the past two years. It won't be long before all the workers in our factory are laid off."
Zhou Wanhong forced a smile and said, "So I'm going to take advantage of the weekend to look around town to see if there's any suitable work to do."
"Brother is the director of the textile factory. Can't we arrange for you to go?"
Wan Cuilan asked.
It would be fine if Pei Zhiwen didn't bring these two people into the factory, but why didn't he even let his own wife in?
"Second brother and sister-in-law, it's not as easy as you say. The market is not good right now. Our factory has collapsed. Zhiwen's factory is also laying off employees. How can we squeeze more people in?"
Zhou Wanhong said lightly.
Wan Cuilan looked embarrassed, "Is that so? There is really nothing we can do about it."
Pei Zhiqiang glared at her and signaled her to stop talking.
Because Zhou Wanhong was going to be laid off, the whole family gathered around her to comfort her.
Wang Ruizhen said: "It's okay, we can find a job slowly, there's no rush."
Zhou Wanhong nodded with a wry smile.
Her monthly salary is more than 200 yuan. If she is laid off, she will lose this money and can only rely on Pei Zhiwen's salary, which will put a great financial pressure on the whole family.
It was okay for Zhou Wanhong to suffer herself, but when she thought about the several children at home who were in the growing period, she would feel uncomfortable if they also had to cut back on food and clothing.
So no matter what, she has to find another job.
…
Pei Tiantian went out early in the morning carrying a small floral bag.
On the way to Gu Rong's house, she heard a lot of people talking.
"As expected, a wild boy without a mother's guidance is a bad, sneaky, and thieving second-rate person."
"That's right. Zheng Tianfu beat him all night long. His screams could be heard throughout half the village."
"Such a shameful thing has never happened in our village before. People from the neighboring village even came to our door. Tsk!"
"I have to tell my kid not to play with him. What if he steals something again?"
"You're right! When you were a kid, you stole needles. When you grow up, you steal gold. Now you're so bold. I'm afraid you'll end up being a labor camp inmate in the future."
After listening to a few sentences, Pei Tiantian finally understood that they were discussing Zheng Dahu.
The news that Zheng Dahu stole money from a child in the neighboring village and was personally approached by the people from the neighboring village to ask for the money had spread throughout the village.
The villagers were all cursing Zheng Dahu.
Pei Tiantian was in an extremely happy mood.
Zheng Dahu is a man of really bad character, he should be condemned by everyone!
When I arrived at Gu Rong's house, I unexpectedly saw Gu Rong standing at the door with a blank expression, as if listening to the curses of the villagers in the village.
There was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
Gu Rong went to collect firewood yesterday and met Xie Jiagui and his group. After hearing what they said.
Only then did they understand that Zheng Dahu had stolen someone's money and was picked on by this group of people.
Gu Rong recalled that Zheng Dahu had once wrongly accused him of stealing the bacon from his home.
He couldn't stop the anger in his heart.
He had long guessed that Zheng Dahu was simply the thief crying "stop thief". He must have stolen the bacon and was afraid of being scolded by Zheng Tianfu, so he framed himself.
