Chapter 143

"Yes!"

Pei Huaiye sat up all of a sudden and asked softly, "Are you angry?"

"No." Su Qingyue shook her head gently.

"Not only did I threaten Team Leader Xiang not to make bean sprouts this month, but I also fired some people in the factory!"

"When you went missing, it was bad enough that half of them didn't help look for you, but they even went around making snide remarks! They didn't appreciate your kindness at all!"

"You only make higher profits by running a processing factory; making bean sprouts and collecting vegetables was originally an act of kindness to help the villagers get rich. Since they don't cherish it and are being sarcastic and gossiping, then don't make bean sprouts. Let's see if they still talk!"

Pei Huaiye grew up in the village and knew that many people were driven only by profit.

Facing such people, one can only use interests to suppress them, making them realize Su Qingyue's importance, so they won't keep pushing their luck.

"Yes, even if you hadn't fired them, I would have told Team Leader Xiang."

Pei Huaiye held the person in his arms tighter, "When I said it, Team Leader Xiang supported it too. Because of you, the village has gained so many benefits over the past year; he knows what's what."

Su Qingyue closed her eyes and nodded, obediently nuzzling against Pei Huaiye's chest, and fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, she had a nightmare. Pei Huaiye felt heartbroken, patting her back, holding her tight, and calling her awake gently before coaxing her back to sleep.

This happened for two consecutive months. Su Qingyue would have nightmares every night, but fortunately, her subconscious knew someone was by her side, and gradually she wasn't as afraid anymore.

One day, the sky was clear and cloudless. Su Qingyue finished washing the clothes and was hanging them to dry in the courtyard, while the two nursing babies lay in their cradles sunbathing.

Their bright, watery eyes were clear and innocent, darting around.

"Auntie, Tuantuan is gnawing on her feet again, hahaha." Su Zhuangzhuang was on summer vacation and had practically turned into a little monkey from the sun. He lay in front of the cradle looking at his brother and sister, his face full of happiness.

Su Qingyue gave the two children nicknames: the older brother was called Yuanyuan, and the younger sister was called Tuantuan.

Yuanyuan liked to suck his fingers, while Tuantuan liked to gnaw on everything.

Su Qingyue wiped her hands and squatted down to look. Tuantuan was holding her own fair, tender little foot, gnawing on it until there was drool everywhere.

Seeing her mother come over, she babbled a few times, then reached out her little chubby foot toward Su Qingyue.

Su Qingyue shook her head, curved the corners of her mouth slightly, her voice raspy when she spoke.

"I'm not sleepy anymore. You all don't have to look so bitter and hateful; I'm not afraid at all now."

Tuantuan giggled, and Yuanyuan, seeing this, became anxious and also opened his little arms to be held.

Su Zhuangzhuang loved it so much that his voice rose.

"Auntie, he wants me to hold him!"

Su Qingxi brought over a basin of water, "Nonsense, she clearly wants my sister to hold her. Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, look at your little aunt, let little aunt hold you."

"No, you held them yesterday, I haven't held them yet."

The two big kids fought over holding the babies. Su Qingyue held her forehead and let them each hold one.

Now that the hundred-day mark was approaching, the two little babies had grown and were even more jade-like and cute; fair and chubby, they looked just like New Year painting dolls.

Not only the family, but every time they were taken out, the villagers fought to see them and hold them.

"Yuanyuan has gained weight again, I can barely hold him."

Yuanyuan kicked his little arms and legs, and his little feet kicked and kicked, grinning until his gums showed.

Su Qingyue used a small towel to wipe the two nursing babies' hands and feet clean, so she wouldn't have to worry about hygiene when they gnawed on them.

"Wash hands, wash feet, wash them until they're fragrant. Alright, you can gnaw now."

Tuantuan giggled, and as soon as her little hands were washed clean, she sucked on them. The way she smacked her lips looked incredibly cute.

Su Qingyue gently tapped Tuantuan's little nose, "What a little silly, wanting to eat everything."

The little silly giggled as soon as she heard her mother's voice.

Pei Huaiye pushed the door open and returned with Pei Huaimei. He had gone to the city to purchase supplies, needing to buy milk powder and clothes for the babies. He brought Huaimei along because he was afraid the items would run out, and if he was busy with work, he would let Huaimei go to the county to purchase them.

Now that he had been promoted, he could live at home every day, but he still had to go to the county to work.

Su Qingyue still couldn't manage the two nursing babies by herself, so she still let Huaimei come to the house to help, and she still paid her a salary.

She did whatever work needed to be done.

After the last incident, Pei Huaiye directly wrote a letter of severance. Pei Huaimei, thinking of her own experiences growing up, also followed her big brother and severed ties with the old Pei couple.

Regarding this, the Pei Fugui couple cursed loudly and even shouted that they were going to make a scene at Pei Huaiye's workplace, but they ended up being taken to the police station for a few days, and after they came out, they never dared to make a scene again.

Pei Huaigang dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and after being beaten by Pei Huaiye several times, he finally started acting like a human being and began to take care of Gaogao seriously.

From time to time, Pei Huaimei would still help take care of Gaogao; after all, the child was innocent and also very pitiful.

"Why did you buy so many things?"

Su Qingyue stood up, and Tuantuan in her arms kicked and opened her little arms, wanting to burrow into Pei Huaiye's arms.

Pei Huaiye smiled with a gentle face, washed his hands, and then took Tuantuan from his wife's arms, "Did you miss Dad?"

Tuantuan blew a bubble and giggled.

Yuanyuan, in Su Qingxi's arms, saw this scene and let out a wail, crying while kicking toward Pei Huaiye's direction.

"Hahaha, he's jealous." Su Qingxi laughed and handed Yuanyuan over to her brother-in-law as well.

Pei Huaiye was strong and sturdy, and holding one baby in each arm was easy, but after a while, the nursing babies weren't very comfortable.

As soon as Yuanyuan reached his father's arms, his tears stopped instantly, and he even took the little hand he had in his mouth and handed it to Pei Huaiye.

"He's trying to please you!"

Su Qingyue glared at Pei Huaiye, "Why did you buy so many clothes? They grow fast, and a baby's clothes will be too small in a month or two."

"Why did you buy me so many dresses?"

Although Su Qingyue said this, she was very happy in her heart.

Pei Huaiye bounced the two little babies in his arms, "The hundred-day is coming up soon, you and the children should all be dressed up beautifully."

Pei Huaimei and Su Qingyue put the things from the car into the house.

Pei Huaimei smiled and went to the kitchen to cook.

During the meal, the two little ones kept kicking in their arms. Su Qingyue returned to the room to feed the two babies, and Pei Huaiye coaxed the children to sleep before the two of them went to eat.

At night, after work, the Su family sat together to discuss how to celebrate the hundred-day.

Su Qingyue leaned on Pei Huaiye and yawned, "Let's keep it simple. Just have a meal for the neighbors and relatives who want to come."

"Alright, we'll just make it lively. You go back to the room and get some sleep first."

Su Qingyue returned to the room, and the rest of them continued to discuss the details.

Too many things had happened in the family during this time, and Pei Huaiye didn't intend to let Su Qingyue worry.

She had suffered psychological and physical trauma and had only gradually recovered during this time.

After discussing, Li Zilan and the others went home.

Su Qingxi kicked a pebble on the road and couldn't help but sigh, "Brother-in-law is really good to sister."

"When you grow up, I'll find you one just like him."

Su Qingxi was stunned, "I'm not getting married, I want to keep studying!"

Li Zilan laughed, "If you want to study, then study! The family will support you!"
