Chapter 199: Confiscation and Exile Control Group 5
Master Pei II widened his eyes and stared at General Pei in disbelief.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but it seemed as if something was blocking his throat and he couldn't utter a word.
This... is this still the father he has always respected?
In the past, he knew that his father was partial, but he still held a glimmer of hope, thinking that his father still cared about him.
But now, he finally understood that his father was not only partial. In the eyes of the old general, Boss Pei was probably the only one who was his biological son!
Mrs. Pei did not expect General Pei to say such a thing. After a slight surprise, her expression was not embarrassed, but very calm!
Although Mrs. Pei was crying, her eyes were always focused on the situation at the scene. When she heard General Pei say that he wanted to divorce her, she quickly pushed Master Pei.
Master Pei was the first to come to his senses and said hurriedly, "Father, calm down. Second brother, you are really a scoundrel. Hurry up and apologize to father. Look how angry you made him!"
Mother, don’t take it to heart. Father is just angry and speaks without thinking. Don’t take it seriously!
The things sent by the Zheng family naturally have to be managed by Mother, and we all listen to Mother!"
He knew clearly in his mind that if he wanted to live comfortably on the journey, he had to rely on the second wife, and he couldn't offend her too much!
The old man is trying to rob someone else's things. There are so many people watching. This is unacceptable. He still has some shame!
Another thing is that the second wife's father-in-law and her maternal family are both in the court now. If her children want to achieve something in the future, they will have to rely on the second wife's help. She absolutely cannot let the relationship become strained at this moment!
General Pei himself climbed up from the bottom of society. He was raised by his widowed mother when he was young. After he joined the army, he made meritorious contributions step by step and became a general, and he learned his widowed mother's unruly spirit.
When he was in Kyoto, he was still restrained because of his status, but now in this situation, he doesn't care at all and his true nature is completely exposed.
The more others persuaded him, the more excited he became.
This was also the first time that Boss Pei had seen such a father.
“Boss, don’t try to persuade me, this matter itself is Zheng’s fault.
Since you have handed over the housekeeping rights, the things should be placed in the hands of your wife!
You are the original wife's legitimate son, and Zheng was married to take care of you.
I didn't expect that she would show such an expression as soon as our family fell into trouble.
If she doesn't hand over the things, I will divorce her!" General Pei roared with a red face and thick neck.
General Pei is just taking advantage of the old lady because she has no family to support her. When he was in Kyoto, he didn't dare to be so blatant!
Mrs. Pei is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others, otherwise she would not be able to protect her son, daughter-in-law and their family under General Pei's favoritism for so many years.
The old lady calmly packed her packages and said slowly:
"General Pei, do you think I should give some of the things my parents sent me to the first wife?
OK, that's no problem.
But if you say that we should hand it over to the eldest son to manage, I will absolutely not agree!
This is my personal thing, a gift from my parents.
I am willing to use the money to subsidize the children because I am kind-hearted and think that we are all family.
But if you want me to hand over everything and I don't have the right to dispose of these things, look, is there any such thing in the world?
Furthermore, I remember clearly the words that you, old general, always said.
The man works outside and the woman works inside.
Men earn money outside and bring it back home, and women are only responsible for managing the home and being impartial!
Now that I have taken out all the things my parents gave me, what else do you plan to give out, old general?
Don’t you always say that all a woman needs to do is wait for the man to bring the money back?
General Pei, you are a real man of integrity!
As a grown man, do you intend to rely on an old woman like me to support your family?
So tell me, are you marrying a wife or marrying into the family?"
The moment the old lady said this, she was about to break off relations!
You should know that these were the exact words the old general said when the old lady came in and asked for the general's property. The old general was afraid that if he gave the property to the old lady, his son would have a hard time in the future.
Now the old lady returned it to the old general without missing a word!
The old general didn't expect the old lady to say that. He was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at the old lady tremblingly, "You...you..." He couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
Before the elders could speak, Pei Xinmei stood up and said helplessly, "Grandma, why do you have to say such harsh words?
There are some things that a junior like me shouldn’t say, but I really can’t stand it anymore!
We in the eldest family don’t really need these things. It’s just that grandma is old and doesn’t want you to suffer.
My mother is used to doing housekeeping work, so ask her to share more of the responsibility!
This is the most difficult time for our family, and my grandfather has no bad intentions. He just wants everyone to help each other.
Everyone is in a difficult situation now. If our family does not help each other, and my second uncle's family does not have a strong person to support them, they will inevitably suffer more grievances.
Although my grandfather spoke a little impulsively, there was no need for my grandmother to take it so seriously.
We should all take a step back. We are all family, so why should we be so fussy? "
As soon as Pei Xinmei finished speaking, Pei Xinlan continued, "If you know you shouldn't speak as a young person, just shut up.
Grandfather was angry and said something without thinking, so grandma should just accept it and not defend herself.
Besides, my eldest sister ate the cakes secretly just now and didn’t share any with my grandfather and uncle and aunt.
Just take care of yourself, you're everywhere!"
Master Pei Er had already come to his senses. When he heard Pei Xinlan's words, he deliberately frowned and pretended to scold her, "Xinlan, how can you talk like that? Hurry up and apologize to your sister Xinmei."
Pei Xinlan was very cooperative and immediately put on an angry and unconvinced look: "I'm not wrong, Sister Xinmei was just nibbling on snacks just now, and now there are snack residues on her clothes."
Master Pei II pretended to glare at Pei Xinlan.
Pei Xinlan immediately muttered deliberately in a low voice, but her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly: "We have been in prison for so many days, and we have been eating those black-faced steamed bread every day, and Sister Xinmei actually has some snacks..."
Pei Xinlan didn't say anything else, leaving it to everyone's imagination to guess what happened next.
When everyone heard Pei Xinlan say this, they all looked at Pei Xinmei, and sure enough, they saw the remains of snacks on her clothes.
It turns out that he was just talking nicely and trying to take advantage of others, but he hasn't even cleaned up his own mess yet.
Pei Xinmei wanted to show her demeanor as the eldest daughter in front of everyone for the first time, but failed!
