Chapter 119 They became interested when I told them this!

It’s just a few dozen dollars now, but what about greater benefits in the future?
Pei Jin doesn't dare to gamble! -
Pei Jin is the eldest brother.

The Pei family had glorious ancestors, but by the time of Uncle Pei's generation, they had become farmers after they were in their teens, but they still did not forget to teach their children.

Minghui started learning Sanbaiqian at the age of three, and began practicing basic martial arts and horse stance at the age of four.

Pei Jin, Pei Yu, Pei Xuan and even Lingxi, when Uncle Pei was teaching them.

There is nothing he did not read including the classics, history, and literature, as well as the strategies and tactics of war.

As the main branch of the Pei family, when Lingxi's father "passed away" early, Uncle Pei was the actual person in charge.

Then, as the eldest son, Pei Jin’s wife would be the future clan lady.

It's obvious that my eldest cousin's wife is not qualified!

in fact--

When Pei Jin reached the age of marriage, it was just after the founding of the country, and it had been less than two years since his class status was determined. At that time, due to various considerations, his family kept a low profile.

The Pei family had very low expectations for Pei Jin's wife, and all she needed to do was to be filial to her parents-in-law and take care of her younger siblings.

My eldest cousin's wife was found according to that requirement.

This was all agreed upon before we got married.

Can--

Not everything is as it should be.

If Pei Jin had intended to teach slowly before, he had been doing so for many years, but now...

forget it!
Pei Jin calmed down and her eyes became peaceful.

The eldest cousin's wife, who had no idea what she had lost, saw that Pei Jin was not so angry anymore, and thought that he agreed with her words. She wanted to ease the situation and took the initiative to express her feelings.

“I just feel bad about the money.

Lingxi is not without a place to live, and our Minghui is about to grow up.

When the time comes to marry a wife, you will also need a house.

But how much money can you earn in a year?

A strong laborer who gets full work points will only get 20 yuan at the end of the year. If we build those two houses, it will cost at least 100 or 80 yuan..."

She felt that there was nothing wrong with her logic, and the more she spoke, the more confident she felt.

Pei Jin leaned against the wall and rubbed his brows calmly.

When did the family start to rely on the little money earned from farming to survive?

The work points earned from working on the land are ten or twenty yuan per year. What can you do with them?

The little trinkets and things he bought for her every year...

Don’t you have to spend dozens or even hundreds of dollars every year?
However, Pei Jin had no intention of arguing with her anymore.

He looked at the pretty person in front of him who always spoke softly, and saw that she spoke with confidence and even a bit of grievance.

Pei Jin did not comfort her, but spoke in a gentle voice: "Do you think it will cost a lot of money to build those two houses?"

He didn't wait for her to answer and continued.

"But these three connected courtyards were all built by my uncle."

Uncle?

Lingxi's dad!

The eldest cousin's wife was slow to react to what Pei Jin meant, and her expression froze for a moment.

Pei Jin's expression was as calm as ever, and she continued, "My uncle also spent a lot on the renovation and expansion of our home."

The eldest cousin's wife's expression instantly cracked.

"I don't recall..."

Pei Jin hummed, very understanding, and followed her words.

"I know."

For the first time in such a long time, he did not explain the twists and turns to her in detail, but just casually and perfunctorily answered her as if he was dealing with an insignificant person.

"It is really because of my uncle that we can live so comfortably at home. My uncle treats Lingxi as his lifeblood. He would not let Lingxi suffer any grievances. Naturally, he wants to give Lingxi the best, so he built us an additional house."

This is, of course, complete bullshit.

Uncle built this yard because he was the pillar of the family at that time. Lingxi was not born yet!

It is true that the uncle paid for Lingxi's sake, but he also cared more about them brothers.

Pei Jin continued.

“These are not important.

Anyway, Pei Yu and I have already separated.

You can save all the work points I earn."

He changed the subject.

"By the way, it was very smoky this afternoon when we were catching sparrows. Minghui likes cleanliness, and I'm afraid he will ask for a bath later." The eldest cousin's wife deliberately ignored the panic of losing something, and listened to Pei Jin's words that it didn't matter, and she seemed to feel more at ease.

When she heard that all the money earned from the family was given to her, she was instantly happy.

"Oh, I'll go boil some water."

He went straight to the kitchen.

Pei Jin: “…”

He rubbed his brows and remained silent.

To be honest, it doesn't make sense to talk nicely, and you're so happy to just do it casually...

Forget it, I can get less than twenty a year, so I'll just give it all to her as a token of her hard work in taking care of Minghui.

As for the gifts he used to give from time to time...

He is a farmer, right!
She got what she wanted!

Pei Jin turned around and saw his biological father who had come out at some point and was looking at him worriedly.

Uncle Pei walked up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Since you can't force it, then there's no need to force it."

The affair between Pei Jin and his wife did not happen overnight. Uncle Pei was not surprised by such a development, as he had also experienced such a mental journey before.

Pei Jin seemed to understand something.

Uncle Pei thought for a moment and brought him a pot of wine. "Go play with Pei Xuan, Gu Si and the others! There's no point in delaying what's going on there."

Pei Jin: “…”

Not so much.

He hasn't reached the point where he needs to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

If it was the first year or two, he might not be able to accept it. If it was when the family was just separated before the New Year, he might have felt a little uncomfortable.

But after several months of cold war and thinking, Pei Jin has become very calm.

But he did not waste his father's kindness.
-
Small living room in the east wing.

Pei Jin poured a glass for himself and Pei Xuan, and hid the remaining wine in Lingxi's cupboard. He smiled and said, "It took a lot of effort for your uncle to bleed heavily. You can't give it back."

As for Gu Si...

He drank one glass at a time, and when Pei Jin and the others drank, he never had a share.

Lingxi burst out laughing.

Minghui was coveting his aunt's belly, his mind full of the little brother inside. After taking a bath, he stuck to his aunt. Now seeing Lingxi smile, he also smiled foolishly.

Lingxi couldn't help but hugged the person and kissed him.

Gu Si: “…”

!!!

Gu Si wanted to pull them away, but Minghui had learned from his previous lesson and dodged first, and even complained to Lingxi: "Look, little aunt, look, look, my uncle is bad.

He actually wants to tear us apart."

Lingxi: “…”

puff--

Pei Jin Pei Xuan: "..."

Hahahaha!

Pei Jin thought again of what Minghui yelled on the day Lingxi came home.

He stepped back to make room for Minghui to perform and watched the fun from there.

Haha, I'm not the one being bullied, so I'm still happy.

Gu Si: “…”

Gu Si was annoyed, but forget it, he wouldn't bother with the little kid.

He brought a plate of peanuts to the two brothers, sat next to Lingxi, pulled the small quilt covering her, and started talking about the wine.

"I remember that the old lady gave Lingxi a stack of recipes, some of which were for making wine."

Pei Jin held the wine glass and nodded.

"Yes, we brothers have those recipes here. We have rice wine, sorghum wine, fruit wine... We have them all. The taste is okay, but there is not much advantage."

They are all common types available in the market, and their recipes don’t taste better than others.

Gu Si nodded.

"What about deer blood wine, tiger bone wine, deer penis wine, and some other medicinal wines?
I have quite a few recipes for medicinal liquor here."

Pei Jin and Pei Xuan instantly perked up.

Come on!
They became interested when I told them this!
