DAVM Chapter 67.1

When he first came to Pei Zhen’s side, Pei Jing would often think of his life with his grandmother.

Grandmother did not have much money and did not know how to do other jobs. She could only collect waste products.

They live in a narrow house, but the house is kept neatly by his grandmother. The garbage and waste are placed in the small room so that it does not hinder their lives.

Pei Jing lives with his grandmother, and he is also very good at cleaning the house. After school, he and his grandmother go out to collect waste products and then sell them.

Every time she received the money, his grandmother would give him one yuan and let him keep it for himself.

When Pei Jing came to Pei Zhen’s side, he had already saved dozens of yuan. When he left, he did not take the money with him but quietly put it under the pillow, hoping that his grandmother would find it.

On the day he left, his grandmother bought him new clothes and told him not to go back. Grandmother said: I am so old, and I will not be able to take care of a child anymore. You and your mother live a good life and don’t come back. Coming back will be a drag.

Pei Jing was very sad. He knew that he was too young and could not do anything. He just listened to the adults and lightened their burden a little.

It was only when he arrived in the new city that Pei Jing touched his pocket and found that there was a hundred yuan given by his grandmother in it.

Pei Jing knew that his grandmother also liked him. If she did not like him, she would not collect scraps every day so that he could go to school and give him money. But he also knew that his grandmother was old, and he was a burden to her.

Pei Jing thought that when he returned to his grandmother this time, he would use his own money to finish elementary school. There are also many people in their village who have stopped studying after finishing primary school.

They go out to work with the adults in the village. When they come back during the Chinese New Year, they no longer have the air of children in their bodies. But they can make money, and they can even walk in the world without worries.

He has thought about it and will not let himself be a burden to his grandmother, as long as she still wants him.

Seeing Pei Jing’s resolute look, Si Tian sighed softly in her heart and said, “Let’s talk about it after you get better. Now, you can stay at our house, okay, Pei Jing?”

Pei Jing nodded: “Thank you, Auntie.”

“My school bag is still at home.”

“We will call the police. If no one is at home, we will take out all your things.” Si Tian said.

Pei Jing nodded: “Thank you, Auntie.”

Si Tian looked at his pale face and felt that Pei Jing was too polite and sensible. He was indifferent to people he did not know well and did not like to talk, but he was extraordinarily well-behaved with people he knew well. Such a child could easily be hurt.

Si Tian asked Pei Jing to have a good rest and then told Ji Jiangzhou about the incident.

The villas in their community have already been sold out. Pei Zhen can still bring Pei Jing to move in, it must be rented or given by someone else.

Si Tian now feels that it is best for Pei Zhen not to come back for the rest of her life. She has already abandoned Pei Jing by leaving him in the amusement park. If she sees Pei Jing develop well and come back in the future, wouldn’t it be disgusting? It’s best to resolve this matter completely.

After hearing this, Ji Jiangzhou’s voice was slightly lowered: “I’ll let my assistant investigate. Don’t worry.”

His tone did not sound too good. He must also be angry because Pei Jing was abandoned.

Ji Jiangzhou asked his assistant to investigate the property owner of the house next door to them and then found Yu Bo.

Yu Bo was also surprised by Ji Jiangzhou’s sudden visit. He asked with a smile, “Why are you free to come see me today?”

Ji Jiangzhou looked at Yu Bo’s face, which was somewhat similar to Pei Jing’s. However, Yu Bo had a wife and daughter. As for whether the family was harmonious, Ji Jiangzhou did not know much about it. They became friends when they were studying together, but later, they entered work in different fields and lacked contact.

Ji Jiangzhou did not want Pei Jing to get involved in other people’s families. Pei Jing was just a child without any background and was born out of wedlock. If he returned to the Yu family, his life would not be much better.

So when Yu Bo asked about Pei Jing, Ji Jiangzhou would lie and claim that Pei Jing was the child of Si Tian’s relative.

But now that Pei Jing was abandoned by his own mother, Ji Jiangzhou found Yu Bo. He asked straight to the point: “You pulled out Pei Jing’s hair last time. What was the result of the paternity test?”

If Pei Jing hadn’t encountered this incident, Ji Jiangzhou would not have asked too much. If Yu Bo did not recognize Pei Jing, either because Pei Jing was not his child or he did not want to admit it.

No matter what the reason is, it would be better for Pei Jing not to go back, but now Pei Jing has no other relatives.
