The eldest daughter is committing suicide, and the marriage partner comes to redeem her

I don't know when, Pei Zigui had put on gloves and was slowly helping Jiang Ruoli process the crabs.

With his bony fingers, he could even peel a crab with great grace.

The man's hands kept moving, and on the surface he was still talking with Mr. Pei about the company's recent situation.

Realizing that Jiang Ruoli called him, Pei Zigui tilted his head slightly and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

The woman shook her head and pointed uncertainly at the crab being dismembered.

"Is this peeled for me?"

Looking at those sparkling eyes, Pei Zigui raised his thin lips: "What else? I'm allergic to crabs."

"Okay, then remember to separate the crab meat and crab roe~"

The young lady didn't think it was a big deal to ask the man in front of her to do such trivial things, and she even dared to make demands in a coquettish manner.

As if his brain suddenly reacted, the delicate girl whispered: "Are you allergic to crabs? Then does it make you uncomfortable when you peel crabs?"

Is it a bit late to ask this now?

Pei Zigui lovingly placed the crab roe and crab meat into two small bowls, pushed them all in front of Jiang Ruoli, and said nonchalantly:

"Eat it. I just can't eat crabs, but that doesn't affect my helping you peel them."

Jiang Ruoli was happy again.

"Then can you peel another one for me~"

If I don't send him now, when will I send him? Pei Zigui would not dare to refuse me in front of Grandpa Pei.

"No, there's no point in being coquettish."

???

She doesn't seem to be acting like a spoiled child, does she?

How ridiculous! You're tired after just peeling one?

Jiang Ruoli was about to be unhappy when the man's cold voice coaxed her: "Crabs are cold in nature. Eating too much is not good for you. Be obedient."

She is a person of cold nature. She is really feeling a little chilled now.

Pei Zigui, that bastard, must have found this excuse because he didn't want to peel it anymore! But now that it's come to this, it would be ungrateful for her to continue.

Jiang Ruoli pursed his lips and said, "Okay."

Pei Zigui rubbed the little girl's head with satisfaction, "Lili is so well behaved."

Thinking that he had just peeled a crab, Jiang Ruoli stepped back in disgust.

I served him a bowl of the newly served glutinous rice dumplings.

"Don't just take care of me, eat too."

Pei Zigui lowered his eyes and looked at the small bowl of dumplings held between the woman's slender white fingers. Just as he was about to speak, someone spoke first.

"Miss Jiang, don't you know? Zigui doesn't like sweet food."

Is this woman going to die if she doesn't talk? Isn't it okay to eat quietly? (?｀⊿′)?

Jiang Ruoli's hands stopped in mid-air, ignoring Ye Die's words, and stared at Pei Zigui intently, his cunning fox eyes flashing.

"Honey, my hands are sore."

Pei Zigui pouted his cheek and called his wife in a deep voice.

"Lili."

Jiang Ruoli replied unhappily: "What?"

If he dares to embarrass her in front of so many people today, especially in front of that old green tea girl, she will put crab meat in his food tomorrow!

No! I will pick all the flowers in Pei's garden for him tonight!

Pei Zigui said in a hoarse voice: "Don't act like a spoiled child."

Jiang Ruoli didn't understand what was going on. Who was acting like a spoiled brat?

(???-???)

The man took the bowl of rice dumplings with his eyes burning, and said, "Li Li served it himself, so of course I like it."

The next second, he scooped up a small spoonful of glutinous rice wine balls and put them into his mouth.

"Mm, very sweet and delicious."

In fact, everyone could see that Pei Zigui didn't like it very much, because he picked up the water next to him and took a sip.

But everyone could see Pei Zigui's preference for Jiang Ruoli.

Except for Jiang Ruoli who thought that all this was Pei Zigui's way of making trouble for Ye Die.

Forget it, just be merciful and add fuel to the fire.

"Auntie Ye, if you want to eat it, ask your husband to serve it to you."

Ye Die pulled the corner of her mouth, "Aunt Ye?"

She is the same age as Pei Zigui, but four years older than Jiang Ruoli.

It was obvious that this little girl was trying to make things difficult for her.

"Um, calling me little mom doesn't seem right, right? But you are my elder after all, I should address you respectfully."

At this time, Mr. Pei spoke up: "Lili, you can call me whatever you want."

After the old man spoke, Ye Die did not dare to say anything more. She smiled bitterly and replied:

"Thank you. I've gained some weight recently and I'm trying to quit sugar. Please eat more."

What I mean is, you'll get fat to death.

What Jiang Ruoli hates most in his life is these women who keep complaining about being fat, leading to a distorted aesthetic.

So she deliberately said in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, you seem to be a little fat. With your height, you'd better lose weight to 60 kilograms, otherwise you will be called fat."

"you……"

Pei's father, who had been a background figure for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore and growled at Ye Die:

"Eat quietly. If you don't want to eat, go back to your room!"

Jiang Ruoli was startled by Pei's father's sudden voice, and his body trembled. Then someone supported his waist from behind.

Pei Zigui's big hands gently stroked her waist twice, as if to comfort her.

"Do you still want to eat?"

He could see that Jiang Ruoli had already eaten his fill, otherwise he wouldn't have the energy to get angry at someone so insignificant.

Sure enough, Jiang Ruoli nodded.

"Take you to the garden?"

"Great! I want to go see the big golden retriever."

The old house of the Pei family has a big golden retriever, which was a birthday gift given to Grandpa Pei by Jiang Ruoli a few years ago. Grandpa Pei liked it very much and immediately named it Pei Ziqi, nicknamed Qiqi.

From the same generation as Pei Zigui.

Qiqi owns her own puppy villa in the corner of the garden and lives a happy life.

"Qiqi, my sister is here~"

Jiang Ruoli couldn't wait to run towards Qiqi.

"Slow down."

As soon as Pei Zigui finished speaking, Qiqi jumped out from the other corner of the garden and threw herself towards Jiang Ruoli enthusiastically.

“Lili!”

The adult golden retriever weighed more than Jiang Ruoli, and was so excited that it pounced on her and almost knocked her down.

Fortunately, Qiqi seemed to have heard Pei Zigui's scolding and restrained her strength. Jiang Ruoli was able to stabilize himself and escaped close contact with the ground.

Pei Zigui strode to Jiang Ruoli's side, looked her up and down carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that she was okay.

He turned his gaze and glared at the culprit seriously.

Qiqi seemed to know that she almost got into trouble. She cried beside Jiang Ruoli's legs, not daring to look at this scary man.

That little look is really touching.

"Okay, why are you so fierce? Qiqi likes me."

Pei Zigui frowned and tightened his jaw, "It's a bad habit to pounce on people."

Jiang Ruoli squatted down and rubbed Qiqi's head, then raised its paw and looked up at the man with a stern face.

"Baby, hurry up and apologize to your brother. Say, I was wrong~"

When talking to dogs, people will unconsciously pinch their throats.

Jiang Ruoli was no exception, her voice was sweet and soft.

Qiqi seemed to understand what people were saying, and she cooperated by whining a few times to Pei Zigui.

"Look, our baby is apologizing to his brother."

In the evening breeze, a few strands of the woman's hair were blown off at some point, loosely falling on the sides of her face, adding a bit of liveliness.

Pei Zigui's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he leaned over and pulled the man up from the dog.

"It has a name, and it's not called baby."

The man was very close, and the smell of fir trees filled the air and could not be ignored.

Fortunately, he let Jiang Ruoli go after she stood firm.

"I know. It's just a nickname."

Pei Zigui glanced at Qiqi lying on the ground and frowned, "He will not be able to tell his own name this way."

This seems to be the case.

Jiang Ruoli touched his nose guiltily and said, "Okay, I won't yell next time."

Pei Zigui's expression relaxed a little, "Well, be obedient."

The courtyard of Pei's house is very large, and the two men took Qiqi for a leisurely stroll.

Jiang Ruoli would occasionally talk to Qiqi on his own, and it seemed as if the man and the dog could really communicate with each other.

Pei Zigui stayed quietly by his side.

"Pei Zigui, your flowers are so beautiful! Can we grow them in our garden as well?"

"They are white roses. These were planted by my mother herself when she was alive."

Pei Zigui's mother died early. In Jiang Ruoli's vague memory, Pei's mother was a very gentle person, always smiling and speaking softly.

It's just that she was so beautiful but had a tragic fate and left the world early.

When it was known that the Pei and Jiang families were going to marry, someone in the circle joked, "Jiang Ruoli is so lucky. Not only has he been living a life of luxury since childhood, but he also has no conflicts with his mother-in-law after getting married."

She never paid any attention to this, and once even taught a lesson to someone who had no sense of propriety.

Because that was Pei Zigui's pain, she didn't want to step on anyone's scars for fun.

"Zigui, you are here."

Not far away, Ye Die came slowly in her red dress.
