This is his father, Pei Zhiwen, who is now the workshop director in a textile factory. His every move is quite gentle and refined.
Sitting on Pei Zihao's right was his mother, Zhou Wanhong, a gentle woman who now worked as a worker in a ceramic factory.
The eldest son, Pei Zhiwen, and his family are both working, and their combined monthly salary is around 400 to 500 yuan, so most of the Pei family's expenses are paid for by them.
But the good times did not last long. Both of them were laid off in the wave of layoffs, cutting off the Pei family's largest source of income.
Sitting next to Pei Tianyu were Pei Zhiqiang and Wan Cuilan from the second house. They were the ones who cultivated the Pei family's land. The couple were farmers who depended on the weather for their livelihood, so they were much poorer than Pei Zhiwen's family.
Pei Zhiqiang was also an honest man and never did anything bad. If he hadn't been unlucky enough to have his legs broken by a mad cow and become disabled, he wouldn't have ended up like that.
However, compared with Zhou Wanhong, Wan Cuilan had a much worse temper, and she attached great importance to money. Pei Tiantian still remembered that the reason why her second cousin Pei Tianyu in the novel pursued his dream of becoming a star was because Pei Tianyu earned a few hundred yuan for guest starring in a play. Wan Cuilan saw that money was so easy to make, so she was obsessed and insisted that he become a star.
However, when the Pei family fell into trouble, Wan Cuilan, whose husband had died, still chose to stay in the Pei family and followed Zhou Wanhong to take care of Wang Ruizhen, who had suffered a stroke and was blind, and never left them. This shows that Wan Cuilan was not a bad person.
Pei Tiantian withdrew her thoughts.
A careful analysis shows that the Pei family members were not extremely evil people, but in the end, each of them ended up with a miserable end. Isn’t this ending too tragic?
Do cannon fodder have no human rights?
Pei Tiantian swore to herself that since she now occupied Pei Tiantian's body, from now on, they were all her family. She must not only find a way to escape the original owner's fate of being a cannon fodder, but also work hard to let the other members of the Pei family escape the tragic fate in the novel.
…
Early in the morning, several people from the Pei family and team leader Liu Changlong went up the mountain to look for someone. After a whole day, they found no signs of anyone.
The next day, after reporting to the police, I went up the mountain with them and searched for a whole day, but still found no trace of Gu Rong.
On the third day, the police brought a military dog and went to look for Gu Rong by sniffing his clothes. They searched all over the mountains and fields for a whole day, but only found some rags with some blood stains under a tree, and nothing else.
Look at this group of people looking for someone in a hurry all day long.
Pei Tiantian was not in a hurry.
She understood the plot and knew that Gu Rong would be fine.
Although in the novel, Gu Rong’s disappearance is only mentioned briefly in memory.
As for where Gu Rong went, how he lived these days, what he ate and drank, nothing was mentioned.
But Gu Rong finally returned home safely.
Moreover, as the villain in the novel whose role is second only to the male protagonist, how could he die so easily?
So, there is only one word for now.
wait.
Wait for Gu Rong to come back by himself.
In the past few days, the news that the Pei family mistook their benefactor for an enemy spread throughout the village.
Although Gu Rong had a bad reputation in the village and had a criminal record of suspected theft, coupled with the deliberate smear campaign by his uncle and aunt's family, he had basically no popularity.
However, there were many people in the village who wanted to make fun of the Pei family, and they all took the opportunity to insult the Pei family under the guise of speaking up for Gu Rong.
On the morning of the fourth day after Gu Rong disappeared, after cutting grass for pigs, Wang Ruizhen was carrying a backpack full of pig grass and holding Pei Tiantian in her arms. When she passed by a yard, she heard several voices under the plum tree.
"Really can't find it? I think he's probably dead!"
"The police have been dispatched. I don't think it's going to work."
"This is really a sin. Gu Rong saved the girl from the Pei family, but ended up like this!"
"I think the whole Pei family is not a good person. I have said it before. Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu hang out with Zheng Dahu and the others all day long. They are just a bunch of second-rate people. Sooner or later, something bad will happen! Look, now they have really harmed someone!"
The shortest old woman spoke the sharpest.
Wang Ruizhen's face changed slightly, but she knew she was in the wrong and didn't bother to pay attention to those people. She just walked past them holding Pei Tiantian without saying anything.
The people who were gossiping naturally saw Wang Ruizhen, and their faces turned awkward and they dared not speak any more.
But the shortest old woman, Mrs. Deng, was always thick-skinned and didn't feel embarrassed to be heard by the person involved when she said something bad behind his back. She pouted, rolled her eyes, and called out to them, "Hey, Zhiwen's mother, you just came back from cutting grass for the pigs, why are you still holding Tiantian? I see that she is so old now, it's time for her to go to the fields to work!"
Wang Ruizhen glanced at old lady Deng calmly and said indifferently, "Deng Fengxia, I think you are getting more confused as you get older. My Tiantian is only five years old. How can she work in the fields?"
"Why not? The third daughter of the Xue family has been cutting grass for pigs with her family since she was five years old. How come Pei Tiantian is more precious than her?"
Old Lady Deng sneered.
Pei Tiantian pricked up her ears. The third girl of the Xue family?
Isn’t this the heroine Xue Ningxiang?
As soon as these words were spoken, the other people also started talking.
"I'm saying the same thing. The girl from the Pei family is really spoiled. Not only does she do nothing, but I think she eats and wears more exquisitely than this kid!"
"Girls are like spilled water. No matter how well you raise them, they will be used by others. If a family treats a girl as a treasure, isn't that crazy?"
Old lady Deng added fuel to the fire: "The key is that she is still a stupid girl, Ruizhen, don't blame me for speaking harshly. Your Tiantian can't even count at the age of five, but the girl from the Xue family can do addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers at the age of five. I say, you Pei family members are not born to be good at studying. Look at the two boys in your family, they are also like retards, always ranking last in the class. I remember that the boy from the Xue family was only two or three years older than them, but he ended up being the first in the key middle school in the city!"
Wang Ruizhen didn't want to pay attention at first, but when she heard old lady Deng talking more and more, she looked at them sharply, "Deng Fengxia! Are you going to stop whining? If you say one more word, I will tear your mouth apart!"
Wang Ruizhen became a widow at a young age, and in order to raise four children, she developed a fierce temperament.
The Pei family has been living better and better in recent years, and she has also controlled her temper and become a lot more tolerant, but that doesn't mean she has lost her temper.
Before she got married, Deng Fengxia always liked to oppose Wang Ruizhen and compare herself with her. In recent years, the Pei family has become more and more wealthy and their life is prosperous. She feels really jealous.
She finally got a chance to take advantage of someone's misfortune, so how could she let it go?
