Yang Peidi dared not go to her husband Jin Sheng, but instead called her mother to go.
Her mother scolded her for being worthless before leaving, giving Peidi a sigh of relief.
After so thought, Jin Sheng also agreed.
It was just a short walk. Looking at Yang Peidi, the cousin seed quite capable. Oh, not just the cousin, but her uncle’s family also seed quite alright. Just a few months ago, they had built a new house that caught everyone’s attention in the village, and their third son had started so kind of business and apparently made so money too.
Having such relatives, it was foolish of Yang Peidi not to nd the relationship but instead offend them. If she had known, she would have delayed her marriage rather than end up with such a foolish woman.
Now Yang Peidi and her husband had entered Yang Dahai’s house, with Grandma Yang, Third Uncle, and Third Aunt accompanying them.
Although Zhang Minghua felt sowhat uneasy, she had to let them sit down and talk, out of respect for her mother-in-law.
Jin Sheng was burly and rough-looking, which made him appear sowhat fierce, but he spoke sincerely and reasonably, "Just now I did not see my cousin and her husband but heard about it from Peidi. Maybe my cousin misunderstood. We’ve co to apologize and hope she won’t take it against us."
Jin Sheng’s gaze swept over the faces of Yang Dahai and his wife, eventually resting on Shen Yiguang, "I’m really sorry, cousin-in-law. I was sowhere else at the ti and didn’t know about this. Otherwise, I would have co over imdiately."
Shen Yiguang’s expression was indistinct, revealing no clear emotion, but his eyes were cold. He nodded slightly, "I understand. You didn’t need to make a special trip. My daughter-in-law is napping with the kids. With so many children at ho, there’s always noise, and she hardly gets any rest. She’s asleep now, and I don’t have the heart to wake her. You’ve said enough, and I’ll talk to her about it later."
Jin Sheng internally cursed Yang Peidi again at Shen Yiguang’s slick response. With people as smooth as this, the future couldn’t be too grim, so it was important not to offend him, "Yes, it was our oversight. Peidi now regrets it terribly. She says they’re sisters who grew up together, and she didn’t expect to cause such a misunderstanding because of her own inability to speak properly. She is anxious and hopes that her sister won’t be angry. It should have been us congratulating you, and we have been very rude. I’ve heard you’re in Daji Village now, which isn’t far from us. How about this? Co have a al at our place in a couple of days, and let us serve you as a way of apology."
Shen Yiguang declined, "We accept the apology, but there’s no need to go to the trouble for a al. I’m here on a short visit and have a tight schedule."
Jin Sheng was a bit disappointed but did not show it on his face, smiling, "Okay then, maybe another ti."
Shen Yiguang did not say anything more.
Yang Peidi had not expected that Yang Peimin wouldn’t co out after all, which was different from what they had anticipated.
She beca slightly anxious and couldn’t help but turn to Yang Peiying, "Yingzi, is my sister really taking her nap? Or is she avoiding eting ?"
Yang Peiying didn’t expect that Peidi would co up and ask her. Since the last ti Peidi had asked her to arrange a blind date for her, their relationship was not like before, no longer so talkative.
Even now that Peiying had co back and knew that Peidi was visiting her marital ho, she didn’t go to et her right away. These little things added up to a growing distance between them.
Peiying nodded, "My sister has always had the habit of taking a nap. If she’s woken up before resting properly, she gets angry."
"How long has your sister been asleep? Yingzi, could you do a favor? I’ll be going back to the town soon, and with what happened this morning, I just can’t shake off the feeling of distress. It wasn’t intentional, you know that. Minmin and Peiyan were arguing, and I just wanted to separate them. I really didn’t an for Minmin to leave." Peidi lowered her head, her voice pleading.
Peiying looked at her, "Then why did you make my sister go outside? She’s got three kids, and Fanfan and Tuantuan are only over six months old. They are still so small, and you know how easily children can get sick from the cold wind, don’t you?"
Peidi shook her head, her gaze falling even lower, "I didn’t know."
"You do know, Peidi. How could you not? You helped raise several of your cousins, didn’t you?"
Peidi opened her mouth, struggling to rebut, and raised her head to glance at Peiying. When had this cousin learned to corner her like this?
"Yingzi, I know I was wrong. I—I don’t know what ca over at the ti. I really regret it now. Please help , Yingzi. We grew up together. You know the kind of person I am. I never had any bad intentions. I just want to apologize to Minmin and ask for her forgiveness. I’m so afraid Minmin is angry with . I’ve always been scared of her getting angry..."
Peiying shook her head, "My sister hasn’t been asleep for an hour yet. She definitely hasn’t woken up. If you want to see her, wait until she wakes up on her own. She usually sleeps for two hours."
"Yingzi, can’t you help ? We are good sisters. You don’t know how much I’ve missed you since you went to help look after my sister’s children. I was so sad you couldn’t return for my wedding."
"Peidi, I’m saying all this to you out of the friendship of being sisters. I don’t have much ti either, so you and your son-in-law can stay here and have so tea for now."
"Yingzi, I feel like you’ve changed." Peidi looked at Peiying’s pale face, sharply dressed, with a determined gaze, and realized belatedly, "Yingzi, you’ve really changed."
Peiying nodded, "Because I’ve grown up."
"You’re really helping your sister with the kids? Can you handle three children on your own?"
"I’m not looking after the children. I have a job."
"A job? What job? Yingzi, can you do it?" Peidi was very suspicious. Peiying, who was not good at conversing and was clumsy, had found a job? Impossible, Peidi thought, she hadn’t found one herself. Last month, a factory was hiring temporary workers but required literacy, which she didn’t have since she had never been to school a day in her life. Yingzi hadn’t attended much school either, so what kind of job could she have?
"Cooking."
"Cooking? For a restaurant? Oh, there’s such a job? I rember you didn’t cook much before. Are you good at it? Do others like it?"
"It’s okay."
Peidi looked up at Peiying again, genuinely surprised.
