Chapter 249

Pei Sheng also did not know whether the old master was just saying things in anger. He quickly looked to Pei Jing for help, hoping he could say something to ease the situation a little.

But he saw Pei Jing give a cold laugh, and instead said to him: "Since Dad also has this intention, second brother, go and notify big brother. We three brothers haven't sat together for a long time, so let's take this opportunity to have a good chat."

Pei Sheng looked at Old Pei again. Seeing that he was determined, he said helplessly: "Alright, I'll go notify big brother right away. We'll come back after he returns tomorrow."

After saying this, he hurriedly beckoned his wife and children, and his whole family intuitively followed along.

As Pei Xiang was leaving, she still looked at Zhi Xia worriedly.

In any case, their family was not concerned about the house. They had resented Wang Yue for many years, so compared to letting Wang Yue occupy the advantage and be overjoyed, it felt more comfortable in their hearts to give it to the third room.

After the second room's people left, Wang Yue instantly had tears in her eyes. She played the emotional card, "Dad, I know you all think I care about the house, but you don't know how hard I've lived these years. Your son doesn't come back once in three or two years. When he comes back, he looks at me with disdain. Was it easy for me to raise these two children alone? It's not easy for me, is it? My whole family is dead in order to save this ungrateful wretch..."

Old Pei had also been on the battlefield. If he didn't feel sorry for her, he wouldn't have let her be so overbearing at home. He still endured and forgave her more.

But he didn't expect that the return would be even more excessive behavior.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, I've wanted to say this for a long time. If he doesn't want to come back, you should also look for the reason in yourself," Old Pei sighed. "He was able to have two children with you. At first, he also wanted to live well with you. But every time he comes back, you make a fuss. How could he possibly want to go home?"

"I made a fuss because he still cares about other women in his heart! After so many years, he still cares about others when he lives miserably, and my life is not miserable?" Every time she used the same tactic. No matter how great the kindness was, it couldn't withstand erosion. But she never understood this principle. "Enough, enough. You are all people in your forties. You should resolve your own affairs yourselves..." Old Pei waved his hand.

But Pei Jing just smiled and said, "I believe if my big brother could choose at the beginning, he would rather choose to die himself than continue living under the shadow of your life-saving grace!"

"Pei Jing, what do you know? That was the life of our whole family. He owes it to me and to our family." Wang Yue clenched her fist. If she wasn't sure she couldn't beat Pei Jing, she would definitely want to get physical.

"Auntie, your words are too much!" Pei JianGuo protected Wang Yue behind him.

Pei Jing looked at the nephew in front of him who was only slightly shorter than him. He had always felt that he was weak and incompetent, but at least he didn't have any other problems.

But often, weakness and incompetence itself was an injurious weapon.

"Pei JianGuo, you're not young anymore either, almost 20 years old. Go vent your anger at people outside. The most hopeless kind of man is one who only bullies women and children at home!" Obsequious and deferential outside, but relying on the innate male advantage at home to complain and beat women and children.

And also not looking at what kind of stuff he himself was.

Pei Jing had originally looked forward to his nephew getting married and starting a career, marrying and having children. But now he felt it was better to stay single and not harm a nice girl, a useless thing all his life who didn't even dare to do anything. How could he have the nerve to complain about this and that all day?

And big brother, if he didn't always feel sorry for himself and escape reality, this family would not have become what it was, and both children would be spoiled without any responsibility or ability to fulfill their duties. No wonder Pei JianGuo was brought up to be like this.

Pei JianGuo didn't dare to speak with his head lowered after being trained. Wang Yue came out from behind him, "My son doesn't need you to teach him. Bah, acting so sanctimonious, but actually coveting old master's property in your heart. What do you think you are?"

Wang Yue pulled Pei JianGuo out while scolding him. Pei Shuangshuang hurried to follow them. As soon as they went out the door, she heard her mother scolding her brother, "You are also a useless thing. When people point at your nose and scold you, what else are you apprehensive about? You treat him as your uncle, does he treat you as his nephew? Always caring about face, can't say this, can't say that, now it's good, it's all become someone else's..."

Old master had originally said he would donate the house. She was frightened at first, but later thought there was still room for contention.

After all, old master didn't have much, he couldn't leave nothing to his offspring.

But now he had directly said he would give it to Zhi Xia, how was that different from giving it to Pei Jing?

The words sounded nice, even mentioning An's old grandfather, but in the end wasn't it favoritism towards the younger son?

Now that he had other grandsons, the eldest was no longer precious! The living room, which should have been a happy family reunion, instead fell into a depressed atmosphere.

Pei Jing turned his head to Zhi Xia: "You go back to the room with the kids first. The three little ones haven't seen you for a day."

Zhi Xia nodded and said softly as she came to his side: "Talk nicely with Dad."

She also felt a little strange, she just felt that Pei Jing was a little off.

He didn't seem like the kind of person who would say to live here until the child grows up to be fair.

With doubts in her mind, she led the two children out.

Although Wen Qing was young, she could understand. "Mom, is big auntie mad because grandpa wants to give the house to you?"

Zhi Xia stroked her head, "It's not necessarily true, don't talk nonsense. Let's go back and see your brothers."

"You don't need to stand anymore either, sit down." In the living room, Old Pei looked at Pei Jing solemnly, "Third child, tell Dad what you are thinking. Your attitude towards your eldest sister-in-law is a little wrong. And JianGuo, he..."

He wanted to say he was still young, but he was already in his 20s, and Pei Jing was not much older than him.

Pei Jing sat there, leaning back, looking somewhat nonchalant. "I didn't think much about it. I just felt that Wang Yue has been overbearing all these years. Having such ideas today, shouldn't Dad reflect on it?"

Old Pei knew that he had spoiled her step by step, retreating again and again, which instead gave her confidence.

But what could he do?

The lives of a big family of the Wangs not only weighed on big brother, but also weighed on him as the father.

Even if they had been willing to save others with their lives at the beginning, and exchanging their lives for survival was not what big brother wished. But they could not deny this kindness.

It is said that many children mean more blessings, but he felt instead that they had all come to collect debts. It would have been better if second brother's family only had the two daughters who were less troublesome.
