Chapter 171 Dad baked it for you...

To be precise, he was the one who spent the money.

You know, it was legal to call slaves...

Pei Yanning was in a daze for a moment.

Pei Xiaogu had come back to her senses and was embarrassed for a moment before making the decision immediately.

"Well, I'll go back with you now. I'll take a leave today and take the old lady to my home first. As a girl, I miss my mother. If she doesn't go with me, I'll wipe my tears for her.

The little fish will be back tomorrow!
When Xiaoyuer comes back, she will definitely visit Lingxier first, and then ask her to go to my place to pick up the old lady.

Otherwise, it would not be a good idea to send the old lady away after what happened last night." Aunt Pei was very thoughtful and still had to take the old lady's feelings into consideration.

Pei Yanning nodded: "Thank you for your concern."

Looking at how she is taking on so many responsibilities now, it can be seen that she is living a good life in her husband's family.

Pei Xiaogu called someone to ask her to help her ask for leave. When she suddenly heard Pei Yanning say this, she slapped him on the arm.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You've been out there for two years and you're already doing this to your sister."

Pei Yanning: “…”
-
It was already noon when Lingxi woke up again.

The air is filled with the aroma of milk and a slightly burnt smell.

Knowing that Gu Si was back and she didn't need to worry anymore, Lingxi slept peacefully and refreshed.

She rubbed her little face against Gu Si's pillow and looked towards the door lazily.

Sure enough, the next moment, the door was pushed open.

Her dear fourth brother came in, holding a small plate with a piece of steaming pastry on it.

"Fourth brother..."

Lingxi said softly and coquettishly, "I don't want to move."

Then he looked at him eagerly.

Waiting for feeding.

Gu Si laughed, "Brother Si will feed you."

Gu Si lifted the girl up and held her in his arms. The girl was not very tall to begin with, and her belly made her look even smaller.

Lingxi didn't realize it was a cake until she put it in her mouth. To be more precise, it was the kind of cake base without cream. It was still warm as if it had just come out of the oven.

Seeing that she was eating happily, Gu Si's brows softened.

"Dad baked it for you. I just knew he had this skill." Pei Yanning has been traveling abroad for so many years, so naturally he knows a lot.

Just to tinker with the oven, I broke three tin buckets.

Gu Si chose not to tell Lingxi about this matter...

Lingxi's eyes were full of smiles: "Dad is the best and the most powerful."

Gu Si did not refute Lingxi's words. He felt her pulse and found that the symptoms of lack of sleep were obviously alleviated, and her fear problem was gone.

He looked up at her and saw Lingxi's obviously guilty look. He pinched her face, which had obviously become thinner, and sighed.

"Why don't you just eat some good food?"

"I……"

She just wanted to sleep. Her mind was full of sleeping. She was so sleepy. Besides, it was not like she hadn't eaten. She had clearly eaten three meals a day on time.

Gu Si poked her head and asked, "Did you eat on time, and then vomited after eating?"

Lingxi shrank her neck guiltily.

Gu Si sighed again: "Is it easy for Fourth Brother to raise you plump and white? You've tortured yourself into this state in just a few days."

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

White and fat?

He called me fat?!
Lingxi's face darkened instantly and she glared at him. "You're still angry. Will Fourth Brother be so angry that he will die? What about the baby in your belly? You said you are eating several people for yourself?
you……"

Pei Yanning heard the noise and walked in, only to see Lingxi looking angry.

When he saw Lingxi's appearance, a smile immediately appeared in his eyes.

When Lingxi saw her father, her eyes lit up and she complained, "Dad, my fourth brother bullied me. He only cared about the younger brother. He also said that I was fat. He was mean to me whenever he came back..."

Lingxi became sadder and sadder as she spoke.

"I can't live like this, little one, little one, just follow me. Wow, why is my life so miserable..."

Pei Yanning held his forehead silently, his eyes full of helplessness. His daughter really learned a lot in the village!

Gu Si was calm and collected. "Speak louder and call all the neighbors to come and see."

Lingxi's expression froze and her eyes widened.

Gu Si laughed: "Have you forgotten that you told me a while ago that someone's family was quarreling. You can hear others, but others can't hear you?"

Lingxi: “…”

She pulled up the quilt, huddled inside, and quickly closed her eyes.

Fell asleep, what happened just now?

No, you heard and saw it wrong, there is nothing!

puff--

Gu Si and Pei Yanning were amused by Lingxi's skillful and neat self-deception.

But seeing how energetic she was, they both felt relieved.

Lingxi lingered in the room for more than half an hour before finally getting up. When she was washing up, she realized that she seemed to be quite sloppy these past few days.

When I was so tired and sleepy, I forgot to take off my shoes after washing up, and I just ate a cake...

Lingxi glanced at Gu Si quietly, then silently withdrew her gaze, pretending that nothing had happened and intending to keep what had happened before to herself.

Well, she is always clean!
However, it was only then that Lingxi realized that the old lady and Minghui were not at home.

Gu Si and Pei Yanning saw Lingxi looking around the room and they looked at each other.

Pei Yanning smiled and said, "You slept too soundly this morning, so your aunt came to pick up your grandma. Your aunt said that your grandma had finally come to the county town, and if you didn't go to her place, she would cry to you, so Minghui went with your grandma."

Lingxi nodded suddenly and looked relieved.

Gu Si and Pei Yaning looked at each other after seeing Lingxi's reaction.

Lingxi was frightened. No matter what the reason was, neither Gu Si nor Pei Yanning would let him pass so easily.

Whatever the truth is, they have to find out.

"Don't you have anything to say to us?" Gu Si brought the medicinal food to Lingxi, handed her a spoon, and sat at the back beside her, easily holding her in his arms.

Pei Yanning was sitting next to Lingxi on the other side, also looking at him with a smile.

Lingxi's expression paused slightly.

He knew what they were going to ask. Thinking back to the chaos of last night, he couldn't keep a straight face. His heart seemed to contract violently and he shuddered.

She subconsciously shrank into Gu Si's arms, but her hand held Pei Yanning's hand tightly, and only then did she have the courage to recall.

Lingxi really didn't know how everything happened last night.

Pei Yanning and Gu Si had some vague guesses about the details, but if they had guesses about what happened last night, what about what happened during the day?
The old lady couldn't stay at Pei Xiaogu's place, and was ready to go back to the factory at noon: "I have to go back..."

Pei Xiaogu refused.

"I asked for a day off, but I didn't get paid for my work today. Why should I work for nothing?
Even if you miss your son or granddaughter, you can't be so disgusted with your own daughter. I tell you, if you don't stay today, I will really cry in front of you!"

Otherwise, why do people say that children are a debt?

Anyway, with Pei Xiaogu pestering her and Minghui making jokes over there, the old lady still couldn't leave until Pei Yu came over the next day...

The old lady vaguely understood something and her expression instantly turned ugly.
