It was security guard Xiao Zhou who pushed open the door, which was not closed to begin with, interrupting Sister Sun's shouting and cursing.

Xiao Zhou was so shocked by Sister Sun that his expression became numb.

Pei Ji'an walked in from outside, his face was gloomy and ugly. Sister Sun only realized what she had said at this time, and her face turned pale with fear, "I'm not..."

Xiao Zhou, who was standing by, quickly closed the door to prevent other people in the compound from hearing and laughing at him. At the same time, he thought to himself, "Aren't you a nobody?"

Apart from anything else, the words used to insult Comrade Lu were truly vicious.

What a burden, a used pair of old shoes, a unlucky person whose husband has died. The most abominable thing is that she even told people to die. People with weak minds might really want to commit suicide after hearing this.

If the leader had not asked to measure the size of Comrade Lu's bookcase and desk and had not returned early today, Comrade Lu would not know how long he would continue to be bullied by Old Lady Sun.

Pei Ji'an raised his hand to stop Sister Sun's explanation, and his expression was much calmer than before, but Xiao Zhou knew that this meant that the leader had already thought about how to deal with Sister Sun.

"Sister Sun," Pei Jinan said in a calm voice, "Lu Nong is my like-minded and legal wife, and the mistress of this family. She is a second marriage, and so am I. There is no such thing as who is more noble than the other. Gu Huai and Pei Zheng are our sons, and raising them is our duty as parents. There is no such thing as a burden. Do you understand?"

Pei Ji'an's words were very clear. He was also getting married for the second time, and neither of him was nobler than the other. If someone called Lu Nong a slut, then what was Pei Ji'an, who was also getting married for the second time?

"Hey, I know, and I won't say it again." Sister Sun nodded vigorously and looked at Pei Ji'an with expectation.

Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed. Pei Ji'an said calmly, "That's good. I'll ask Xiao Zhou to pay you this month's salary. You don't have to come here anymore."

Sister Sun was so shocked that she felt as if the sky was about to fall. "No way, Chief, I was hired by Xiao Zheng's mother to take care of Xiao Zheng. I have worked hard for this family for more than ten years. I have worked hard even if I have no credit. If you fire me, what will happen if this vixen bullies Xiao Zheng in the future? Are you doing this to Xiao Zheng's mother?"

After saying that, he glared at Lu Nong fiercely.

Emma, ​​I didn't expect that Pei Jinan's ex-wife was involved here. Lu Nong secretly glanced at Pei Jinan, but was caught by him. She pretended nothing happened and quietly looked away.

Pei Jinan frowned.

Seeing this, Lu Nong thought, could it be that Pei Jian was persuaded by Sister Sun when his ex-wife was mentioned?

This won't do. She has already offended Sister Sun, who is obviously narrow-minded. If she doesn't drive Sister Sun away completely, the next people who will have a hard time in this family will be her and Gu Huai.

Want to add fuel to the fire?

Lu Nong recalled the tone of voice of the little green tea girls he had seen in his previous life and was about to imitate it.

Pei Jinan said calmly, "Over the years, I gave you 20 yuan a month to buy rice, grain, meat and vegetables. According to the price of goods, you don't spend that much. The army also subsidizes various kinds of non-staple food from time to time. You never told me where the rest of the money went."

"In the past few years, the money has not changed, but the food on the table has become more and more bland. How did you fool Pei Zheng with his meals when I was not at home? Just because you don't tell me doesn't mean I don't know."

He can turn a blind eye as long as you don't cross his bottom line.

After these words were spoken, even Xiao Zhou's expression changed, and he looked at Sister Sun with contempt. How could she still have the nerve to ask to stay under the banner of doing good for Xiao Zheng? Doing good for Xiao Zheng means embezzling the money that was intended for Xiao Zheng's cooking?

Sister Sun's face turned pale and she was in a panic. She had never thought that Pei Ji'an would find out that she had secretly embezzled the money for the food. In a panic, she slapped her thigh, sat on the ground and started to beg for mercy:

"I'm miserable. My old man passed away early, and I raised my son all by myself. Now my son is getting married, and she gave birth to three money-losing children. We are so poor that we can barely make ends meet."

"Commander, please have mercy on me and let me continue to work here. I promise that I will never do anything against my conscience again."

Ah this... Lu Nong was stunned. The development of the situation was completely beyond her expectation. This was no longer a matter of taking advantage of one's seniority, this was like raising a macaque.

What shocked her even more was that the grandson who had been so arrogant and self-proclaimed a city dweller a few days ago and thought she was a country girl was actually throwing tantrums and throwing things around now?

It's funny that country people don't just throw around and fight when they encounter any trouble.

Xiao Zhou couldn't help it. "I remember that last year when you asked the leader to give your son a business relationship, you said that your son was in the transport team and your daughter-in-law was a factory worker. The couple were both full-time workers and couldn't afford to raise three children."

Which family doesn't have three or four children these days? It's common for many families to have seven or eight. It's easier to raise a lot of children. Just feed the stuttering ones and keep them alive.

Therefore, a family with two working parents can live better than an average family even if they have three children.

Sister Sun was choked, but when Xiao Zhou mentioned the operation for her son, she immediately forgot about her guilty conscience.

She had worked like a slave in the Pei family for many years, but Pei Jian wouldn't even help her with such a small matter. So what was wrong with taking some things from him?

But she couldn't say this out loud. Sister Sun stammered and denied it, "Then, then my wife is a temporary worker, right? She doesn't make much money."

"Can you steal without money?" Seeing that she refused to leave, Xiao Zhou threatened, "If you don't leave, I'll send you to labor reform."

Lu Nong looked at Xiao Zhou with admiration, saying, "Young man, you have a future."

When she heard that she was going to be sent to a labor camp, Sister Sun was completely panicked. She was afraid that if she continued to argue, she would reveal more wrongdoings. She quickly got up from the ground and said, "No, I was wrong. I'm leaving now."

Xiao Zhou stepped aside and made way for the door. "Come on, I'll take you out."

Sister Sun left in a huff. She had been planning to go out to buy groceries, so she brought money and a cloth bag with her. Xiao Zhou was smart and used the money for the groceries to pay her this month's salary and got three yuan back.

Only Pei Jinan and Lu Nong were left in the room. Pei Jinan looked at Lu Nong with an unclear expression. Lu Nong felt his scalp tingling from being stared at by Pei Jinan. He didn't understand why he was looking at her like that.

After a long time, Pei Ji'an said word by word, "What I just said to Sister Sun is true. You are my wife and Xiao Huai is my son. I have never looked down on you and Xiao Huai."

Lu Nong was about to be moved, but Pei Ji'an immediately said, "Don't be so cunning in the future. These are just low-level tricks. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

After saying this, as if to give Lu Nong some time to reflect, he turned around and went straight to the second floor.

Damn it, you are the inferior one, you are the villain, she is clearly plotting something! A conspiracy!

Is this old man teaching her like his son?

Lu Nong was furious, his eyes widened, and a streak of red rouge appeared on his cheeks due to anger, making his face look even more rosy than the peach blossom makeup he had applied in the morning, and he looked very beautiful.

"Haha..." Pei Zheng, who happened to watch the whole process, couldn't help but laugh out loud out of schadenfreude.

Lu Nong: “…”

"Why didn't you come out just now?" Lu Nong asked. He was obviously at home the whole time, and Sister Sun's voice was so loud that there was no way he couldn't have failed to hear her.

As if he had thought of something, Lu Nong's expression changed, "Where's Xiao Huai? Did he hear anything?"

Pei Zheng touched his nose and said uncomfortably, "Xiao Huai is asleep."

Lu Nong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"I think you're quite smart, why are you asking me such an idiotic question?" In order to change the topic of a grown man coaxing a baby to sleep, Pei Zheng leaned on the stairs with both hands and laughed at Lu Nong from above, "If I come out, how can you chase her away?"

Lu Nong stared at Pei Zheng carefully, as if he was meeting Pei Zheng for the first time.

Pei Zheng shook off the goosebumps on his body, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I see that you don't just eat and drink all day long. It turns out you are quite smart." Lu Nong said with a sigh.

This statement was obviously a retaliation for his previous remarks mocking Lu Nong for asking idiotic questions.

In fact, Lu Nong was just thinking that during the past few days she had been getting along with Pei Zheng, Pei Zheng had shown a character that was arrogant, immature, and soft-hearted, which was completely different from the cold and serious adult male protagonist in the novel.

But after what happened today, Lu Nong seemed to see in the naive young Pei Zheng the common characteristics of the future experienced Pei Zheng: smart, scheming, and decisive.

I don't know where Sister Sun got her confidence from. She thinks she can really treat Pei Ji'an and Pei Zheng as fools. But Pei Zheng alone is not someone she can fool.

"you!"

Pei Zheng stood up straight in anger and was about to yell at Lu Nong when Pei Ji'an came out of the study, glanced at Pei Zheng, and said to Lu Nong downstairs, "Come to the study."

Lu Nong made a face at Pei Zheng and followed Pei Jinan into the study reluctantly.

"According to the layout of the study, there are two places where the desk can be placed. One is in the east, and the other is here." Pei Jinan pointed next to his desk.

"Where do you want to put the desk?"

Of course Lu Nong wanted to place it in the east, as there was more space there and the desk would definitely be bigger. The most important thing was, who wanted to be close to Pei Jinan?

She finally realized that this old man was a conservative man!

Why is it that when a man uses tricks, he is considered to be intelligent and resourceful, while when a woman uses tricks, she is considered to be cunning and scheming?

Nowadays, there are still a lot of straight men and women who appreciate little green tea.

Thinking of this, Lu Nong felt a little melancholy. They were from different generations and their values ​​were really different.

Alas, it turns out that there is no future and no money in having sex with men.

"Just put it on the east side." Lu Nong said uninterestedly.

Although Pei Jinan didn't understand why Lu Nong suddenly became like a deflated balloon, after spending time with him yesterday, he realized that Lu Nong was a person with erratic thinking, so he didn't ask any further questions.

"good."

After the study was settled, Lu Nong went downstairs first, leaving Pei Jinan in the study to measure the dimensions.

When they got downstairs, the wall clock in the house struck twelve. It was time for dinner, but Sun Jie had just been driven away. Lu Nong and Pei Zheng stared at each other. Pei Zheng was the first to speak up, "Are you a woman or a mother? Why can't you cook?"

Lu Nong rolled her eyes and stretched out a pair of soft hands that were so soft that you could see the fine hair under the light. "Do you think I can cook? Besides, why should women know how to cook?"

Pei Zheng was speechless.

At this time, Pei Ji'an came down from upstairs, listened to the conversation between the two for a while, rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen.

The person in the kitchen walked back and forth, his slender figure moving in an orderly manner, as if nothing in the world could make him embarrassed.

"The problem is solved now." Lu Nong was overjoyed.

Pei Zheng gave her a look of disdain.

…

On the other hand, Sister Sun, who walked out of the compound, felt more and more unwilling. The work in the Pei family was actually very easy. Pei Zheng and Pei Ji'an washed their own clothes. She only had to cook and clean, and she could earn fifteen yuan a month.

Without the Pei family job, where could she find such a good job? If she went home in such disgrace, her troublemaker wife would probably be very treacherous.

Sister Sun felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she shouldn't have cursed so harshly.

It's all because of that little vixen Lu Nong who was causing trouble.

Sister Sun thought angrily, no, she couldn't let this little vixen get away with it so easily. With a turn of her eyes, Sister Sun came up with a good idea.
