The Male Wife

At the family banquet that night, Jiang Linzhi brought Pei Cheng and Jiang Yanzhi, elder brother Pei brought his wife and children, younger sister Pei sat alone, and the main seats were father and mother Pei.

When Big Brother Pei saw Pei Cheng walking in from the outside, his eyes lit up, he walked up quickly, and said, "Second Brother, I haven't seen you for so long, you've changed a lot."

Pei Cheng looked at Brother Pei who was obviously very enthusiastic. The other party looked very excited, but for some reason, he didn't have the energy to act with him at all. He said, "Brother Pei, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Brother Pei obviously didn't expect Pei Cheng's reaction to be so indifferent, he couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Pei's mother reproachfully, just now he said in private that Pei Cheng was the same as before and would not embarrass himself in public.

Mother Pei's mood was a little complicated. When she saw Pei Cheng alone at Jiang's house, she felt that the child had become different from before, and for some reason, Mother Pei always had a premonition that Pei Cheng would never be like him again. In the past, he unconditionally worked for the welfare of the Pei family.

But she didn't take that shallow premonition to heart at the time.That's why when Pei Cheng talked back to him today, Mother Pei slapped Pei Cheng uncontrollably.

Brother Pei suddenly yelled: "Second Brother, who made the slap on your face, why is there such a slap!" After finishing speaking, Brother Pei looked at Jiang Linzhi with hatred.

Perhaps in Brother Pei's opinion, except for the slap print on Pei Cheng's face, which was made by his nominal husband Jiang Linzhi, no one would dare to slap Pei Cheng.

Mother Pei coughed in embarrassment, and tried her best to show brother Pei's face.

Brother Pei was dumbfounded.

Pei Cheng passed Brother Pei and sat down with Jiang Linzhi.

The anger in the room was a little silent and weird.

Mrs. Pei picked up the teacup, with a polite smile on her face, she walked slowly to Pei Cheng and said, "I've heard about you before I got married, and I thought I'd see you on the wedding day. But I didn't expect to meet you now."

Pei Cheng raised his head and glanced at this woman, squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, and felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't tell why she looked so familiar Because of his own initiative, Pei Cheng would have a good conversation with him, after all, it was the first time for everyone to meet.

But when she waited for a long time with a teacup and couldn't wait for Pei Cheng's response, sister-in-law Pei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. I am very wronged.

Brother Pei pulled his wife behind him to protect him, he finally came to his senses, and said displeasedly: "Pei Cheng, today is a family feast, and this is the first time you have met your sister-in-law, as soon as you come back today, you are shaking your face everywhere, seriously. Do you think the family can't take care of you after you get married?"

Only then did Pei Cheng raise his head, he straightened the hem of his clothes, and then said calmly, "Since big brother asked that, then I'll say it... When I came back today, I found that my yard was almost turned into a deserted one. Oh, why, sister-in-law is not going to give me an explanation? The corners of sister-in-law Pei's mouth twitched, and she hid behind brother Pei reflexively, and said aggrievedly: "These are the jobs of servants. I am a woman." , how do you know..."

"I heard that since my sister-in-law married, the backyard of the Pei family has been handed over to her." Pei Cheng said coldly: "My sister-in-law thinks that I don't come back all year round, so it's okay if I don't clean the house. I still think I I won’t come back in the future, so I just let my yard be abandoned!”

Mrs. Pei was even more aggrieved, but she was smarter than ordinary women. After Pei Cheng finished speaking, she just explained a sentence lightly, and then curled up in Brother Pei's arms and wept very aggrieved.

Brother Pei gave Pei Cheng a hard look with his eyes. If his eyes could eat people, he must have been swallowed alive by Brother Pei.

Jiang Linzhi frowned, why is Pei Cheng's treatment in Pei's family so bad.

Mother Pei stood up immediately, "Pei Cheng!"

Pei Cheng turned his head, looked at Pei's mother fixedly, and said, "Mother, did your son say something wrong? If I really said something wrong, please ask my mother to correct it for me, but if Pei Cheng said nothing wrong Yes, I hope mother can uphold justice."

"I've been in poor health for the past few years, so I haven't had time to come back to see my parents, but... I never thought that I really didn't come back." Pei Cheng's eyes were full of injuries, "Don't mother feel sorry for me? Do you no longer consider me your son?"

Pei Cheng's words directly blocked Pei's mother's next words of favoring Sister Pei.

After all, Pei Cheng was right.A few years ago, Pei Cheng didn't take good care of his body when Jiang Yanzhi was born, so when he lived in a remote courtyard, he often had to see a doctor because he was not feeling well. Both Pei's parents and Pei's mother knew about it.

Moreover, in the past two years, Mother Pei also handed over a small part of the power in the backyard of the Pei family to Sister Pei because of Brother Pei's disturbance.So when Pei Cheng came back today and saw that the yard he used to live in was completely deserted, with overgrown weeds outside and dust everywhere inside, Mother Pei knew how much Mrs. Pei didn't take Pei Cheng seriously.

But the eldest son and the second son couldn't be compared since they were young, so Mother Pei naturally didn't scold Mrs. Pei too much.

Because there was really no way to answer Pei Cheng's words, so Mother Pei was silent for a while.

Father Pei kept a straight face, acting as a peacemaker, "Today is a family banquet, why are you arguing over such a trivial matter. Boss, ask your wife to apologize to the second child, and this matter will pass like this."

Brother Pei, who originally thought that his parents would stand by him, was stunned, and said in disbelief: "Father, this matter is not Qianqian's fault at all, why did you ask Qianqian to apologize to Pei Cheng?"

Sister Pei's eyes were red, she stretched out her hand to pull Brother Pei's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Husband, don't talk about it anymore, this matter was originally my fault, it was because I didn't handle the back house well If you want to blame, you can blame the concubine, as long as the uncle is happy, the concubine is fine."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Pei still bent over to Pei Cheng and said, "Uncle, this matter is my fault. As long as my uncle can forgive me, I am willing to do anything."

Pei Cheng looked at Mrs. Pei's pitiful appearance, and felt that he was the one who suffered the most. He used to think that women were like Hu Xiayun and the old lady. They chatted and laughed with you on the surface, but secretly gave you Hit in the back and make you hard to guard against.

But it was the first time Pei Cheng met Mrs. Pei who pretended to be pitiful and sympathetic.

Everyone looked at Pei Cheng and Sister Pei, looked left and right, and soon everyone's sympathy turned to Sister Pei.

Although Mrs. Pei is not considerate this time, Pei Cheng is still a man no matter what, how can he care about a woman.

Brother Pei yelled: "Second brother, even if you are married, you are still a man, how can you argue with a woman. Look, your sister-in-law has apologized to you, can't you be more generous."

Pei Cheng had nothing to say.

Jiang Linzhi said at this moment, "No."

Brother Pei and Sister Pei stared wide-eyed, looking at Jiang Linzhi in disbelief.

Jiang Linzhi said solemnly: "This matter should be due to your lack of thoughtfulness. Although Cheng'er is from the Pei family, he is married to the Jiang family after all. If this matter is spread and outsiders know about it, the Pei family is here Hwaseong's reputation..."

What happened next, even if Jiang Linzhi didn't say it, everyone could hear it.

Pei Cheng stared fixedly at Jiang Linzhi beside him, feeling a warm current in his heart.

Jiang Linzhi didn't look at Pei Cheng, but he could guess whose gaze was staring at him.

Mother Pei was the first to react. She rolled her eyes and said immediately: "This matter is indeed Qianqian's negligence. In this way, Qianqian will continue to study with me in the backyard. As for the right to let Qianqian manage things... ..."

Mother Pei looked at Father Pei, and Father Pei understood, "Take it back first. I will give it to you later when I learn how to handle all the big and small things in the family. In this way, second child, you will be satisfied."

Pei Cheng kept silent, he was not very satisfied, but under Pei's father's eyes about to eat people, he could only slowly nod his head and sit down.Father Pei snorted coldly, and said, "Okay, don't make a scene because of this trivial matter. If you don't know, you may think that our Pei family is in conflict. Butler, let the kitchen bring the food."

Butler Pei nodded, and quickly ran towards the kitchen with small steps.

Mrs. Pei's face turned pale. She thought that no matter what, she would just be said a few words in public, but she didn't expect that Mother Pei would take the opportunity to take back the power she had so hard to get. She followed the heartless Pei with an ugly face. The eldest brother walked to his seat and sat down, but he couldn't get up for a long time.

Pei Xiaomei was quite happy to see this.Ever since her eldest brother married this woman and entered the house, she has been at odds with Mrs. Pei, so now seeing that Mrs. Pei, who has always been arrogant, looks like an eggplant beaten by frost, she immediately laughs unkindly.

Brother Pei gave Pei Xiaomei a warning look, meaning to tell her not to go too far.

Pei Xiaomei didn't take it seriously.

Mrs. Pei cast a lukewarm look at Pei Xiaomei, snorted softly, and then put her gaze on Pei Cheng, with thoughts of killing flashing in her eyes.

In the next second, Mrs. Pei's eyes met another gloomy and indifferent look.

Jiang Linzhi was looking at her.

Sister Pei's legs softened, and she quickly looked away.

Brother Pei didn't understand, so he said, "What's the matter, Qianqian?"

Mrs. Pei shook her head with a pale face, and after a while, she carefully looked in Jiang Linzhi's direction, and was finally relieved to find that the man didn't look at her anymore.

I don't know why, Mrs. Pei always felt that the way Jiang Linzhi looked at her just now, as if she was looking... made her shudder.At this moment, Pei Cheng was still thinking about how familiar Mrs. Pei was, so he didn't notice anything.

The family dinner was going on slowly and uninterestingly.
