Chapter 58

After Zhang Dongmei finished examining Qiu Lu, she didn't explicitly say that they had divided the family from Pei Huaiye. She smiled kindly. "I am his sister-in-law, you come in first, what's the matter looking for him?"

Pei Fugui's family had heard in the afternoon that Pei Huaiye had bought the 'three rounds and one sound' to propose to the Su family, and he had specially invited a construction team to rebuild a big house.

Pei Huaigang and his son didn't believe it, ran to mix in the crowd to watch the excitement, and were scared off by Pei Huaiye's cold, warning gaze.

After Pei Fugui returned home, he didn't say a word and just smoked his pipe with his head down.

Chen Lianzhen cursed and vented all her anger on Pei Huaimei. "You lazy, cheap thing! Your father is back and the food isn't on the table yet, what have you been doing all afternoon? With your stupid and lazy look, it's already burning high incense for the ancestors if you can marry the old cripple next door!"

The food was still boiling in the pot, and Pei Huaimei was so angry when she heard this that she threw the fire tongs and ran out of the door crying.

"Huaimei, go pour water, there's a guest at home."

"Let her roll! What's the use of keeping a cheap hoof who steals and plays tricks! Dongmei, who's here?"

Chen Lianzhen's scolding was heard by Qiu Lu, who had to hide the disgust and embarrassment on her face and push the bicycle into the courtyard.

"Dongmei, who are you with?"

In the evening, they were reluctant to light the lamp, and Chen Lianzhen asked again under the eaves, leaning on her cane.

Zhang Dongmei's mind turned. "Mom, Eldest Brother's friend from the Capital is here, her name is Qiu Lu..."

She deliberately emphasized the two words 'Capital'.

Chen Lianzhen immediately walked into the courtyard to examine Qiu Lu. Seeing that she had an extraordinary appearance, carried a high-end small leather suitcase, and even rode a bicycle, she grabbed her hand flatteringly.

"Comrade Qiu, come in and sit. What's the matter looking for my eldest son?"

Qiu Lu resisted the urge to pull her hand back. "I am the daughter of his master Qiu Zhiyang. I am looking for him to fulfill a promise!"

"What promise?" Chen Lianzhen was confused.

"If something happens to my father, he will take care of me for the rest of his life."

Zhang Dongmei spoke at the right time. "Comrade Qiu, you came at an unfortunate time. My eldest brother Pei Huaiye just got engaged to the Su family today. This matter of taking care of you is afraid..."

"He got engaged?" Qiu Lu was full of disappointment. She had traveled thousands of miles by train to Xichuan to find Pei Huaiye.

"Auntie, where is he? I want to see him."

"I will make Pei Huaiye pay the price!"

Qiao Wang only knew after hearing Su Qianqian's addition that Pei Huaiye had kicked her, and fortunately, the child in her belly was fine.

Otherwise, Qiao Wang would want to tear Pei Huaiye to pieces right now.

Su Qianqian was originally angry because there was no 'three rounds and one sound', but Qiao Wang coaxed her with sweet words, kissing and hugging her.

The two were very intimate in the new house.

Su Qianqian calmed her anger and hugged Qiao Wang, acting like a spoiled child. "Brother Shen, don't be hot and cold in the future."

Qiao Wang was stunned and pinched Su Qianqian's neck, kissing her for a long time.

"Enough yet?"

"Annoying!" Su Qianqian's face was like a peach blossom. "Brother Shen, I heard that Pei Huaiye's construction team built a shed near his self-retained land and slept in it. There are many people there, go and inquire, how exactly did Pei Huaiye buy the sewing machine?"

Qiao Wang was not Shen Xunbao. He gave the watch and radio to Su Qianqian. "Be happy on your birthday, I'll be back soon."

Pei Huaiye thought that the new home definitely couldn't be too close to Pei Fugui's house, so he chose a piece of self-retained land between the thatched cottage and the Su family as the foundation.

The construction team's foreman, Manager Li, led eight or nine men to sleep in the shed and discuss the details of building the house.

Qiao Wang went over to greet them. At first, they responded enthusiastically, but when everyone knew he was Shen Xunbao, they hurriedly spat out the cigarettes in their mouths and returned them to Qiao Wang. "You go, you are not welcome here!"

It seems Pei Huaiye had passed the word to them, guarding against him and Su Qianqian everywhere.

Qiao Wang left in embarrassment and heard a woman crying by the river.

He walked in the direction of the sound and saw Pei Huaimei standing by the river, soaking wet, her clothes clinging tightly to her, revealing her full figure.

Qiao Wang felt his mouth dry for a moment.

He had been looking forward to this shift change, but didn't expect Su Qianqian to be pregnant with his own seed, and the two could never reach the final step.

Qiao Wang was very confident in his own appearance. He walked over and hugged Pei Huaimei from behind! "What are you doing, doing something stupid! Isn't it good to be alive?"

He appeared to be saving someone, but in reality, his hands were wandering dishonestly, looking like he wanted to deal with Pei Huaimei on the spot.

Pei Huaimei was heartbroken. Thinking that her parents were going to sell her to the old widower next door, she wanted to jump into the river and end it all, but she knew how to swim, and the instinct to survive made her swim to the riverbank.

Suddenly hugged by a man from behind, she was too scared to move, but after hearing it was Shen Xunbao's voice, she felt inexplicably relieved.

She turned around to thank Shen Xunbao. "Educated Youth Shen, thank you, I, I didn't seek death."

Qiao Wang smiled gently, pretending to be a decent person. "It's hard to avoid suffering and exhaustion in life, Huaimei, you have to learn to vent for yourself."

Huaimei.

No one had ever addressed her so intimately.

Not to mention a handsome man like Shen Xunbao.

Pei Huaimei was deeply moved.

Haste makes waste, Qiao Wang smiled gently. "Go home early, change your clothes and rest, don't get sick."

Pei Huaimei looked fixedly at Shen Xunbao's departing figure, then glanced at her tight-fitting clothes, and her face turned red instantly.

The summer clothes were thin, and being wet and clinging to her body was no different from not wearing anything.

Qiao Wang whistled as he walked home, not expecting to see a fashionable woman knocking on the door of Pei Huaiye's thatched cottage. "Brother Huaiye, open the door, it's me, Qiu Lu!"

Qiao Wang hid behind a tree and held his breath, seeing Pei Huaiye open the door. After the two looked at each other, the woman cried while talking and wanted to drill into Pei Huaiye's arms.

Pei Huaiye took two steps back and turned to let her into the house.

"Really? Did you see it clearly, Brother Shen?"

Su Qianqian's eyes were wide open, unable to hide the triumph and revenge in her eyes!

"Hmph! I just said this Pei Huaiye is not a good thing, Su Qingyue really deserves it, betrayed just after getting engaged!"

Speaking of this, a sense of shyness and satisfaction surged on her face. "She's not like me, so happy, Brother Shen will only love me alone, right?"

Qiao Wang smiled with a bandit-like look, telling Su Qianqian with his actions what love is.

"Squat lower! Be obedient!"

He narrowed his eyes and enjoyed it.

But in his heart, he was sneering. Aren't all men like this?

Early the next morning, magpies chirped on the branches. Su Qingyue curled her lips and changed into a light blue dress, making the whole person look fresh and cool.

After she finished washing, she was about to go out when she saw Su Qianqian appearing at the door in a red dress, full of joy.

"Qingyue, I'm here to invite you to drink wedding wine."

"No time!"

An expected refusal.

Su Qianqian wasn't annoyed. "Qingyue, I apologize for my past willfulness, I hope you don't hold a grudge and can come to my wedding.

Today is my big happy day, I really hope you can come. I will still treat you like a sister in the future, it doesn't matter if you don't go."

She turned around and smiled gently and appropriately. "By the way, Qingyue, you don't know yet, right? A woman entered Pei Huaiye's thatched cottage last night, I heard she's from the Capital, and she stayed inside for a whole night. You should go take a look."

After Su Qianqian finished speaking, she walked away in high spirits.
