"Aunt, why are you here?"
Pei Zheng was surprised, and looked as if he wanted to kill Lu Nong. Then he thought of something... No way?
Younger sister? Lu Nong's expression changed. Is this woman Pei Ji'an's sister? What's her name?
In the novel, she despised the heroine's background and prevented her from marrying into the Pei family. In the end, she was slapped in the face by the heroine and she no longer had the face to show off in front of her.
He comes with bad intentions.
Tsk, what's wrong with this girl? She has been as mean as ever for decades.
Yes, even the ten years of catastrophe did not eliminate the arrogance in her bones that looked down on others, and now she is only more arrogant.
Lu Nong looked at her mean and twisted face and shuddered. It was so ugly. Did she know that she looked so ugly?
Pei Mingxia saw that Pei Zheng's face looked better, but when she saw Wu's mother carrying Gu Huai out of the car, she sneered, "If I don't come again, your home will become someone else's home, and your father will have to be a good father to someone else."
After saying this, not only Pei Zheng frowned, but Pei Jian, who had just got off the car, also looked sullen.
"Hmph, let's talk inside." Pei Mingxia saw Pei Jianan getting out of the car, and finally took a step back, considering that the family's shame should not be made public.
The family was in a harmonious atmosphere on the way, but they were extremely silent after returning. Xiao Zhou ran away early in the morning when he saw that the situation was not good. Mother Wu held Gu Huai who was already asleep, feeling uneasy and looking at Lu Nong and Pei Jinan from time to time.
Lu Nong used his eyes to reassure her.
Her marriage to Pei Ji'an was a military marriage protected by law. She was Pei Ji'an's legitimate wife. So what if her sister-in-law didn't like her?
Can she still force Pei Jinan to divorce her?
If he was really that powerful, Pei Jian'an's marriage to her would never have happened.
And is Pei Jinan the type of person who can be controlled by others?
Obviously not. Lu Nong does have some vision in judging people.
So after so much analysis, the troublesome sister-in-law can at most find some faults with her, set a trap for her, and say a few bad words about her in front of her mother-in-law, but all these are... bullshit.
Firstly, she did not seek Pei Ji'an's affection, and secondly, she did not intend to integrate into the Pei family and be a good daughter-in-law. If her sister-in-law wanted to find fault with her, she would find fault with her, and if she scolded her, she would scold her back. If she said bad things in front of her mother-in-law, let her say it, it would not lose any money.
Anyway, she can do whatever she wants, after all, the eldest daughter never suffers any injustice.
Maybe my sister-in-law can add some fun to my boring life.
Moreover, judging from the plot in the novel where the sister-in-law makes things difficult for the heroine and ends up dying within three chapters, this sister-in-law’s IQ is probably... not high.
After entering the room, Pei Mingxia threw her hand bag on the sofa and immediately started to attack, "Mr. Lu, do you still know what your last name is?"
Lu Nong: "My last name is Lu, your last name is Pei, right?"
Pei Mingxia choked and looked at Lu Nong in disbelief.
According to her imagination, Lu Nong should listen to her teachings respectfully, and if he was a little scheming, he would show an aggrieved look. Then she would throw the matter of Lu bullying Xiao Zheng to her face and skin her as a vixen.
But why didn't this Mr. Lu do what she wanted?
Pei Zheng also looked at Lu Nong in surprise. He thought that the stepmother would have to be a young wife in front of the aunt and grandmother for a few years after she came into the family. He didn't expect that she would just go back on them?
Fortunately, he still wanted to protect her more for Xiao Huai's sake. My good man, she doesn't need it at all.
Only Pei Jinan was unusually calm. He neither stopped his sister from making trouble nor blamed Lu Nong for not giving face to his sister.
Lu Nong patted the sleeping baby and said to Wu Mama, "Wu Mama, take Xiao Huai upstairs first. He is tired today. Don't wake him up."
"Oh, okay." Seeing that her young lady was in a tough mood, Mother Wu knew that her young lady would not suffer too much injustice, so she carried Xiao Huai upstairs.
"You!" Pei Mingxia gritted her teeth in anger. Lu Nong acted as if he didn't take her seriously. She had never been treated so unfairly before.
"Brother, look at her attitude. This is the good wife you married. If mom knew she was this kind of person, she would never have agreed to let her marry into the Pei family."
Pei Mingxia complained to Pei Ji'an. She really didn't understand why her brother married such a person. Was it just because she had a young and beautiful face?
It turns out that men are superficial!
Pei Ji'an heard this and asked: "What kind of person is she?"
"A country bumpkin who is not presentable!" Pei Mingxia blurted out, and looked up and down at Lu Nong's clothes with disdain, her expression exaggerated.
She did this on purpose. According to past experience, whenever she treated those uneducated peasants like this, they would be too ashamed to raise their heads.
To be honest, Lu Nong changed into a green military uniform for convenience when he returned home, but because it was hot, he only wore military green pants without a jacket, a loose sweatshirt on his upper body, and his hair was tied into a large braid and hung behind his head.
Compared with Pei Mingxia's outfit of plaid and small leather shoes, this outfit is indeed ugly and rustic, but as the saying goes, no matter how ugly and rustic the outfit is, beautiful people will treat it differently.
The loose homespun sweatshirt made Lu Nong look even slimmer, and the army green pants rolled up to her ankles, revealing her slender white flesh, did not look bad at all, especially the small part of her ankle that was exposed, which looked even prettier the more she looked at it.
Coupled with Lu Nong's amazing looks, there is no such thing as being rustic.
But in order to strike back at Lu Nong, Pei Mingxia pretended not to see it and stared at her clothes of poor quality, continuing to attack her with her eyes.
Lu Nong: ? ? Are you okay? Are you competing with me in dressing style?
She threw away the coat in her hand, tied a knot at the bottom of her loose sweatshirt, and took off her slightly mismatched shoes, revealing her slender white toes.
Finally, she pulled her hair out of a pigtail and tied it into a bun behind her head, revealing her smooth neck. Occasionally, a strand of hair fell on her neck, which was natural and sexy. Combined with her face, it was quite thrilling.
With one hand on his waist, he posed for Pei Mingxia's admiration, then took a look up and down at Pei Mingxia's outfit, from her pantyhose to her waist-covering blouse, to her old-fashioned black leather sandals, and shook his head with disdain.
As if to say: That's it? You can't do it.
"Pfft..." Pei Zheng laughed out loud accidentally. This was the first time he saw someone who was laughed at by his aunt-in-law and then laughed back at her. Isn't his stepmother so interesting?
The key is that he actually thinks Lu Nong won, hahahahaha.
Pei Ji'an also coughed slightly.
Ahhhhhh Pei Mingxia was so angry that she pointed at Lu Nong's feet and said, "You, you are shameless!"
Lu Nong raised his chin and motioned her to look at her exposed calves and feet wearing sandals.
Pei Mingxia: “…”
"Brother! Are you going to care or not?" She was furious and yelled at Pei Jinan. She had long forgotten the purpose of coming to the Little Red Building. Her mind was only filled with fighting and not letting the woman with the surname Lu have an easy time.
"Do you mean country folk when you say mud legs?" Pei Jinan said calmly, "If so, I think you should know that I am also a 'country folk who cannot be on the stage'."
After these words came out, Pei Zheng and Lu Nong looked at him in surprise, while Pei Mingxia, who had been arrogant all the time, turned pale instantly.
"I, I didn't mean that..." Pei Mingxia explained stutteringly.
"So what do you mean?" Pei Jinan asked.
"I mean..." Pei Mingxia panicked and didn't dare to look at Pei Jian's eyes. She quickly saw Pei Zheng and Lu Nong, "It's her!"
Pei Mingxia pointed at Lu Nong and said, "She was the one who bullied Pei Zheng. Everyone saw it. She also drove away Sister Sun, who was left by Sister Yi Mei to look after Xiao Zheng in the Little Red House."
Finally changing the subject, Pei Mingxia regained some of her momentum and glared at Lu Nong, but this was mostly an act, and anyone could see that she had not yet come out of her previous emotion.
Pei Zheng covered his face and sighed. It seemed that his guess was right. Ye Huihui, that stupid girl, definitely did not listen to him and went to complain secretly.
And his aunt is really interesting. She is trying to intimidate Lu Nong under the pretext of doing good for him. Does she think he is a fool?
"She didn't bully me." Pei Zheng explained for Lu Nong, "Aunt Sun was driven away by my father. He drove her away because she embezzled the family's food money and stole things from the family. It had nothing to do with Lu Nong."
"impossible!"
Pei Mingxia absolutely didn't believe it. She didn't believe that Pei Zheng had not been bullied by Lu Nong, nor did she believe that Sister Sun would do such a thing. If she really did it, why didn't Pei Ji'an chase her away earlier or later, but chased her away as soon as Lu entered the door?
Pei Zheng was helpless. He knew that his aunt was not making sense. Although it was not a good way to put it, he had long since given up expecting his aunt to understand what he said.
He waved his hands towards Lu Nong to show that he had done his best.
emmm……
Not only do they listen to one side of the story, but they also think they are right.
Lu Nong thought that with her IQ, the heroine in the novel took three chapters to kill her. It should be because they let her off for the sake of their elders.
Poor heroine.
What she was curious about now was why Pei Jian would say that he was also a "country bumpkin who couldn't show up in public", and when Pei Mingxia heard this, a look of fear flashed across her face.
Although it was only a moment, Lu Nong still caught it. There must be something big going on.
Unfortunately, Pei Mingxia quickly changed the subject and stopped talking.
"Why not?" Pei Jinan asked.
Another rhetorical question, Lu Nong complained in her heart. Pei Jian's first rhetorical question made Pei Mingxia dare not to be arrogant. The second rhetorical question might be another big move. If she were Pei Mingxia, she would definitely be ptsd.
But Pei Mingxia was obviously a person who only remembered to eat and not to be beaten. She said bluntly: "Someone saw Xiao Zheng's friends saying that he was bullied by his stepmother. Xiao Zheng was present at the time. It must have been the man surnamed Lu who bullied Xiao Zheng in front of him, and his friends saw it, so they said that."
She didn't dare to tell Pei Jian that he punished Pei Zheng for running because of Lu Nong.
"And Sister Sun is the nanny arranged by Yimei. She has worked in this family for more than ten years. How could she be so careless as to steal things from the family? Maybe someone framed her on purpose!"
As he said this, he glanced at Lu Nong deliberately.
"Okay," Pei Ji'an nodded, then turned to ask Pei Zheng, "Pei Zheng, your aunt said that your friend said in person that you were bullied by your stepmother. You were there at the time. Is that true?"
"It's unfair," Pei Zheng immediately cried out, and recounted the situation in a few words, "... Zhang Kaiping's brain is too stupid, Jiang Yu was teasing him, but he didn't expect Ye Huihui to hear half of it. I denied it at the time, but who knew she had a hole in her brain and refused to believe it and went to complain."
Pei Mingxia was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect things to be like this. It was really her misunderstanding. But it couldn't be a lie to drive Sister Sun away, right?
After listening to Pei Zheng's explanation, Pei Ji'an said, "Go and give your aunt a blue account book from the drawer in my study. I think she, a college student, should be able to understand the account book."
Pei Zheng nodded. He was the one who made the account book, so of course he knew where it was. He quickly went upstairs and came down with the account book.
"Take a look. This is Nanny Sun's account from the past few years. Your nephew wrote it down one by one. You can't fail to recognize his notes, right?"
Pei Mingxia opened her mouth, opened the account book and read it page by page. The more she read, the worse her face became. It was indeed Pei Zheng's handwriting. Pei Zheng would never deliberately frame the nanny who had taken care of him for more than ten years.
This means that Sister Sun really did embezzle a lot of money and things from the master's family.
"I..." Pei Mingxia was speechless, feeling confused. She was indeed wrong, but she didn't want to admit it at all. Even now, she still thought that Lu Nong was not a good person.
"Pei Mingxia, stay out of my family affairs from now on. I don't need you to tell my wife and son what to do. This is the last time I will say this to you."
Pei Ji'an looked extremely cold. Pei Zheng saw his father like this and thought that his aunt was also very desperate. After so many years, his father always kept his word. If his aunt came to interfere in his family's affairs next time...
Pei Zheng shuddered.
I don't know what's wrong with my aunt. She always interferes in his family's affairs and every time she gets slapped in the face by his father. But in the end, she still remembers the food but not the beating. I hope she will remember it this time.
Unfortunately, he overestimated his aunt's emotional intelligence.
Because her aunt glared at Lu Nong again.
Pei Zheng: “…”
Lu Nong was also innocent. She had just guessed the ending of this matter and was bored and shouted in her heart, "Hurry up and speed up, I'm tired."
As a result, her expression accidentally showed up and was seen by Pei Mingxia.
Pei Mingxia regarded Lu Nong's boredom as a provocation, and became more certain of her opinion of Lu Nong as a vixen. Her purpose of marrying into the Pei family was ulterior motive. Even if she did nothing now, she would not tolerate Xiao Zheng in the future.
In addition, Pei Ji'an didn't give her any face at all, and spoke to her as if he was facing a stranger, which made her even more unwilling.
The more unwilling she was, the more she wanted to mix up Pei Ji'an's affairs and Pei Zheng's affairs to prove that she was not a stranger in her brother's heart, but a biological sister.
The more unwilling she was, the more she hated Lu Nong who laughed at her.
So she said to Lu Nong maliciously: "Why are you so arrogant? My brother has not married for more than ten years because of Sister Yi Mei. Do you think you can defeat Sister Yi Mei in my brother's heart just because you have been here for a few days?"
"I tell you, stop dreaming!"
After these words were spoken, there was no change on Lu Nong's expression, but Pei Jinan's expression suddenly turned cold.
Just then, the phone suddenly rang.
After the phone rang three times, Pei Zheng saw that no one was on the line, so he went over and answered it himself.
"Hello? What!?"
He suddenly looked up at Pei Mingxia with an expression as if he wanted to swear but couldn't.
"Song Qian has been admitted to the hospital for food poisoning and is being treated." He quickly finished what happened and looked at Pei Ji'an who was in charge.
"What's going on!?" Pei Mingxia asked sharply.
