Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Kick Them All Out (4)_1

They had just returned, and the situation at home had changed already. Over there, Pei Houli was still thinking about Lady Fang, causing Lady Chen to be so angry that her heart, liver, and lungs all hurt. She slapped Pei Wenbo on the head, "Even if you’ve always been poor and never had a good meal, you can’t be like this, and you’re crying!? If you cry again, I’ll beat you to death!"

Those words implied that while they had been enduring hardship at their old home, Pei Zongli had been enjoying the good life for more than a decade, and now he dared to look down on them.

Seeing Lady Chen hitting Pei Wenbo, who she had fondly raised from a child, made Lady Zhu feel heartache too. She came over to wipe Pei Wenbo’s face and mouth and coaxed him for a while, eventually calming him down.

Pei Houli went out again to drag Pei Wensheng back into the room and made him sit down to eat, "They are just kids, and they have their fights! It’s just a few words, no need to make a big deal out of it!"

"We are always strict with our children’s upbringing at home," Qian Wanxiu sighed as she spoke and glared at Pei Wensheng, "Thank your great-uncle and apologize to your cousin!"

With red eyes, Pei Wensheng said, "Thank you, Great-Uncle!" Then, lowering his head to Pei Wenbo, he said, "I’m sorry, cousin, I shouldn’t have spoken to you that way!" and then performed a bow.

"Oh my! Our Wensheng is so polite!" Lady Zhu laughed heartily, praising him, and urged him to sit down and eat, "Or else the food will get cold!"

Pei Wensheng pursed his lips and picked a large piece of meat for Pei Wenbo.

Qian Wanxiu looked at her younger son with a satisfied smile on her face. Not remembering Pei Wenbo’s name, she laughed and said, "Eat up quickly!"

Only then did Pei Wenbo sniffle a bit and started eating with some grievance.

Lady Chen’s face turned dark, then pale.

Kong’s silently observed with a cold eye, eating her meal carefully.

The dinner table quickly regained its liveliness, but the underlying tensions did not cease.

After dinner, the family all sat in the main room. Pei Wenbo wanted to go play with the horse cart, but Pei Wensheng wouldn’t allow it. Qian Wanxiu then let Pei Wenchen and Pei Wenlee go watch over them and took some snacks out to play.

Pei Wenlee wanted to hear what they were going to say, those wild brats were definitely going to drive them all away, right!? But as the adults discussed matters, they all were sent out, and she couldn’t insist on staying without seeming rude, so she had to go outside.

The main room suddenly fell silent.

Pei Zongli had originally planned to give Lady Fang some money and divorce her over the Jian Xiao matter, sending them away directly. But having seen Pei Houli’s attitude just now, he held his tongue.

After a long silence, Pei Houli grew impatient and spoke first, "Now that the second brother is already married and has a son, as for San Ya and Si Ya, I will acknowledge them."

Lady Chen’s face turned ashen, and through clenched teeth she said, "You might acknowledge the children, but do you also want to acknowledge their mother as well!?"

Without a word, Pei Houli glanced at Pei Zongli and Old Pei, "Don’t talk nonsense! Before, we all thought the second brother was dead, and that’s why we had the Jian Xiao business. Now that the second brother has a wife and a son, we can’t just ignore the fact that Fang Rong’s children are also of Old Pei’s bloodline; we can’t really leave them to live or die!"

"How do you plan to take care of them? Acknowledge those little bastards and marry that cheap woman!? Why don’t you divorce me to make room for her! Your whole family can move there!" Lady Chen exploded with rage.

Qian Wanxiu, hardly containing the laughter in her eyes, thought, this Jian Xiao really did bring out true feelings!

Pei Houli frowned, "Who said I was going to divorce you! Don’t be so fierce! Their mothers were called the second household before, but now with the second brother back, aren’t their mothers in an awkward position!? This matter needs to be resolved!"

"They are still people of the second household! If you dare, then divorce me first! Our mothers will roll out the door and clear a nest for you all!" Lady Chen was so furious she felt like her lungs were about to explode; she did not agree, and she would never agree to allow that cheap Fang Rong to enter the house! Initially, the second brother had returned with Qian Wanxiu grandly, already overshadowing the main household, and if that cheap Fang Rong and several damned wild brats were to add to it, "Not unless I die! If you dare, just strangle me to death with a rope!"
