Chapter 45



Lu Nongminrui could hear the awkwardness in Pei Jinan's words, "parents' home", "our family". In Pei Jinan's concept, the home formed by Pei's father and mother was not his home, so he used "go" instead of "return".

In fact, there are clues. Pei Zheng said that Pei Jianan was fostered in a fellow villager's home when he was a child and was taken home after liberation. In addition, he has a cold personality. If his family members were not close to him, he would not rush to get close to them.

Pei Zheng also said that when it came to his parents' divorce, everyone blamed Pei Jinan, believing that it was Pei Jinan who let Shen Yimei down, but Pei Zheng hinted that it was his mother who cheated first.

Pei Ji'an did not even explain why his parents and sister were closer to outsiders and did not trust their son and brother. This showed that there was a deep gap between the two sides.

Lu Nong herself is a person without parental luck, and has always been open-minded about issues concerning parents and family members. She does not have the self-indulgent idea of ​​trying to mend the relationship between Pei Jianan and his parents. She completely respects Pei Jianan's way of doing things and does not want to interfere with Pei Jianan's attitude towards his parents.

However, as a new daughter-in-law, Lu Nong still needs to understand Pei Jinan's family members and precautions. It is obvious that Pei's father and mother don't like her. Lu Nong has no intention of pleasing them, and only wants to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in peace.

The last time Pei Mingxia came home, she called Pei Jinan "Second Brother", which means that Pei Jinan has an older brother, and with an older brother comes an older sister-in-law, and then there are their children. Lu Nong should at least be aware of this and know who is who when he meets them.

"Who are the people in your family?" Lu Nong asked Pei Jinan directly.

Pei Ji'an sat down next to Lu Nong and talked about his family relationship in detail, "I am the second child. I have a brother who passed away, and a younger sister, Pei Mingxia. You have met her and her husband and son."

Lu Nong nodded. She had met Pei Mingxia's family before, but she didn't expect that Pei Ji'an's eldest brother had passed away. No wonder no one mentioned this uncle. On the day when Pei Mingxia's son was poisoned and sent to the hospital, only Pei Ji'an, the second brother, was present.

Pei Ji'an continued, "My eldest brother married once before. My eldest sister-in-law is Feng Xiaoyuan. They have a daughter, Pei Su. After my eldest brother passed away, my eldest sister-in-law did not remarry. This Mid-Autumn Festival, my eldest sister-in-law will definitely go. After Pei Su got married, she went to another place with her husband. I don't know if she will come back this time. My eldest sister-in-law and Pei Su are both reasonable people. They will not embarrass you."

It can be heard that Pei Ji'an respects his elder brother very much, and has a particularly high degree of favorability towards his elder sister-in-law and niece, which is very rare.

Pei Ji'an is a person who does not judge others easily. He disdains to speak of bad people, such as Pei Mingxia. Although she is his biological sister, Pei Ji'an never mentions her on his own initiative. The distance between the siblings is terribly strange. To receive a compliment from Pei Ji'an, it can be seen that Pei Ji'an's sister-in-law and niece are really nice people.

Pei Ji'an: "Besides, my parents are the only ones left. Don't worry, they won't make things difficult for you."

Lu Nong was not worried. She was never one to let herself suffer losses. She was just a little worried. What if Mr. and Mrs. Pei made things difficult for her and she subconsciously fought back, and what if she made the two old people sick?

She smiled shyly at Pei Jinan and thought to herself, Brother, you have misjudged me.

Pei Jinan noticed that Lu Nong was acting weird and patted her head helplessly.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching quickly. Lu Nong couldn't bear to see his mother alone at home, so he wanted Gu Huai to stay with her, but the old lady refused.

Mother Wu: "Today is the first time you and Xiao Huai have come to meet your aunt's parents. Their family must want to see Xiao Huai. What's the point of leaving Xiao Huai at home? Don't worry about me. I'm more comfortable at home alone. Mother Wu will make soup for you at home and wait for you to come back to drink it. Let's go."

Lu Nong hugged her and said reluctantly, "Wait for me to come back."

Mother Wu shook off her goosebumps and said, "Let's go, cousin. When did you become so clingy?"

Zaizai imitated his mother, first walked over to hug Wu Ma, and then hugged Xiaobai, blinking his eyes and saying, "I won't wait until it's done."

Mother Wu smiled happily and said, "Hey, grandma is waiting for you, my little baby."

Lu Nong: “…” Old Shuangbiao.

Pei's father and mother also live in the compound. Compared with the small red building assigned to Pei Ji'an, the environment of Pei's father and mother's home is a bit cramped, which is reasonable considering that this is in the city.

Pei Ji'an's family's appearance in the courtyard still attracted some attention. Several old men and women who looked quite amiable saw Lu Nong standing next to Pei Ji'an, and all of them had an incredible expression on their faces, "Ji'an found a wife?"

Pei Ji’an: “…”

The old lady put on the glasses hanging around her neck and looked at Lu Nong carefully: "Not bad, this daughter-in-law is good, with a kind eye, she is a good person."

Lu Nong smiled sweetly, "Thank you for the compliment."

"Hey, good, live well with Ji'an, he's a good kid." The old lady patted Lu Nong's hand, and took out the largest denomination of money from her chest pocket and stuffed it into Xiao Huai's hand, "Here, use it to buy candy."

When she was about to leave, the old lady whispered to Pei Ji'an, "Second boy, I just saw the daughter of the Shen family going to the old Pei family. Do you have any idea about this?"

Pei Ji'an's expression changed slightly, as if he was a little bit unbelievable, and said: "I understand, Grandma Hou, you should go home and have dinner quickly, and don't keep Grandpa Hou waiting for too long."

Grandma Hou sighed when she saw this. What a good child! Why didn’t the Pei couple know how to cherish him?

It was also a sin. At the beginning, the Shen family and the Pei family forced the second boy to marry the eldest daughter of the Shen family. But how could such a matter as marriage be tainted by red threads?

Now the in-laws are no longer in-laws, the friends are no longer friends, and the son is pushing him away. He is still not awake.

After saying goodbye to Grandma Hou, Pei Ji'an, Lu Nong and even Pei Zheng fell silent. Only Zizi was clueless and held his brother's arm, looking around curiously.

Shen Yimei also came to Pei's house. This was not good news. Now we just hoped that she was just going to visit Pei's father and mother for a short time, otherwise everyone would be embarrassed.

Unfortunately, Lu Nong was still too naive.

The door of the Pei family was open, and the family of four could hear the noisy and bustling atmosphere inside before they even entered the house.

When they walked into Pei's house, Shen Yimei happened to be sitting on the sofa and talking to Pei's mother. She held Pei's mother's arm affectionately and said to her coquettishly, "Mom, I brought you some Jiangcheng specialties. I asked a friend to buy them for you and Dad. They are suitable for long-term consumption by the elderly and are good for the body. It is said to prolong life. You and Dad should eat them every day. After you finish eating, I will ask him to buy more."

Shen Yimei called them "Dad and Mom" ​​all the time, naturally and smoothly. Some other relatives also came to the Pei family. They sat next to Pei's mother and Shen Yimei, praising Shen Yimei for her filial piety and praising Pei's mother for having a good daughter-in-law. Pei's mother smiled contentedly, and Shen Yimei smiled shyly. No one denied the relatives' comments about the good daughter-in-law.

Lu Nong: “…” Then I leave?

Lu Nong turned his head to look at Pei Jinan, feeling that he should not be insulted like this.

She thought she would be unwelcome when she came to the Pei family, but she didn't expect it to be so bad. Shen Yimei could call Pei's mother "Mom" at any time and act as a good daughter-in-law at any time, and Pei's mother could cooperate at any time, but not when Lu Nong came for the first time.

This showed that they didn't want to give Lu Nong face to face.

Pei Ji'an's expression was so ugly that it could no longer be described. He turned to Pei Zheng and said, "Take your brother back to your room first."

Pei Zheng had his own room here. As the most embarrassed person, he didn't even bother to say hello to his grandmother and ran upstairs with little Gu Huai in his arms as if escaping.

Someone on the sofa noticed Pei Ji'an and Pei Zheng talking, "Ji'an is here?"

Someone shouted, and everyone on the sofa looked towards the door. When they saw Lu Nong standing next to Pei Jinan, the Pei family suddenly became eerily quiet.

Pei's mother's face turned pale, and she suddenly stood up and wanted to explain something. Shen Yimei, who was holding her arm, did not expect Pei's mother to suddenly stand up and fall down, and screamed.

This scream also woke up Pei's mother. She looked around and realized that all the relatives were there, including Shen Yimei. She sat down slowly and asked, "Are you here?"

"Now that you're here, why don't you hurry to the kitchen to help your sister-in-law and Xiao Su cook? Don't you see the guests are waiting?"

Lu Nong: “…”

She looked at the old lady in disbelief. What was she thinking? Was she here to be a fire-making girl at the Pei family?

Mother Pei didn't mean to deliberately embarrass Lu Nong. Asking Lu Nong to hide in the kitchen was the best reason she could think of to avoid embarrassment.

In this situation, she couldn't chase Shen Yimei away, nor could she call Lu Nong over to sit with Shen Yimei. After all, everyone was watching her and Shen Yimei getting along harmoniously just now.

Lu Nong is a legitimate daughter-in-law. She only needs to sit here and shout "Mom" to make De Mei lose face in front of others without saying anything.

Let's put Lu Nong in a difficult position now and let her withdraw on her own initiative. At worst, I can compensate her later.

Pei's mother had a good plan, but unfortunately neither Lu Nong nor Pei Jinan would cooperate with her.

Pei Ji'an held Lu Nong's hand, led her to the living room, and said to the relatives, "Dear aunts and uncles, this is my wife Lu Nong. Nong Nong, let me introduce you to my second aunt, third aunt, eldest aunt, third aunt, and youngest uncle."

Lu Nong followed Pei Jinan and called everyone one by one, "Hello, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, First Aunt, Third Aunt, Little Uncle..."

The aunts and uncles looked at each other in bewilderment. It was the second aunt who first called out that Pei Ji'an had arrived who reacted first, "Oh, good, Nongnong and we are a perfect match."

Pei Jinan's courtesy name is Xiangzhi, which was given to him by his grandfather. When Pei Jinan was young, the elders in his family always called him by his courtesy name. Now his aunt just brought it out casually.

Soon after, other relatives also responded and quickly agreed, "Yes, Nongnong, come here quickly so that aunt can take a good look at you. How did you grow up? You look like a fairy. Standing next to our Ji'an, they are truly a match made in heaven."

For a moment, Pei's mother and Shen Yimei were forgotten. Pei's mother had a gloomy face, feeling both annoyed and angry. Pei Ji'an's behavior had embarrassed her in front of her relatives and he was an unfilial son.

Shen Yimei's face turned paler and paler, her lips trembling, she stared at Pei Ji'an and said, "Ji'an, do you have to do this to me?"

Her voice was very soft, almost a whisper, but she opened her mouth right in the gap between everyone's conversations, so everyone in the room could hear her words clearly.

You can hear a pin drop.

Pei Ji'an didn't look at her, but said to his relatives, "Today is a holiday, and we should have a family reunion holiday together, but unfortunately I have some personal matters to deal with at home. I would like to ask all the aunts, aunts, and uncles to invite your family members. My wife and I will treat you. How about we all go out to a restaurant for a meal?"

"Let's go to the hotel and eat. I just happen to want to try the braised pork elbow from Xide. Since we know each other, how about we have it at Xide?" The second aunt gave face and cooperated.

Pei Ji'an looked better: "Okay, I'll make the call and arrange it."

Pei Ji'an didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately made a phone call in front of everyone.

After making the call, the second aunt went upstairs and called the men who were chatting with Pei's father in the study. The men didn't understand what was going on and were pulled out by their wives to whisper a few words. Then they roughly understood what had happened. It was really not a good time to stay any longer at this moment. Each of their families more or less wanted to be a relative of the Pei family. Pei Ji'an had become more powerful than his father in the past two years. Pei Ji'an let them go, and if they stayed now, they would be making things difficult for him.

Everyone said goodbye to Pei's father and said they would meet again next time.

So the relatives went out one after another with their families.

When Pei's father was told that his son had invited relatives to dinner outside, he was confused. Was he burned by money? He followed him downstairs.

Pei Ji'an's sister-in-law and niece also heard the sound and walked out of the kitchen. They saw Pei Ji'an holding hands with a very beautiful girl, and then glanced at Shen Yimei on the sofa, and said nothing.

"Aunt, uncle, and aunt, why are you all leaving?" Pei Mingxia's voice came from outside the house.

Hello guys, Pei Mingxia is here too. Now the family is together, let the show begin.
