TGDS Chapter 38.2

Good Dad System (Arc 4) Chapter 38.2: The Eccentric Dad In The Chronicles (2)

Third son, Pei Jiancheng, was different. When he was born, the most difficult time had passed. At that time, the mother-in-law had also passed away. Pei Jiancheng became the first son who was truly raised by Li Xiuzhi. Naturally, he was given a different meaning. Pei Jiancheng was born smart, likable, sweet-mouthed, and good at talking. He had a close relationship with his mother on weekdays, which made Li Xiuzhi treat him as a baby.

 

When the children were still young, it was nothing more than letting Pei Jianshe and Pei Jianlai receive less attention and love, and the food at home was hidden and given to Pei Jiancheng, but when the children grew up, the contradiction became more and more intense.

 

Being spoiled too much by Li Xiuzhi, Pei Jiancheng developed a willful temper. He seldom went to the fields since he was a child, and he didn’t work much, and he couldn’t bear hardships at all. Li Xiuzhi planned for her son and decided to send him to study more, find a good job with commercial grain, and marry a city wife in the future.

 

Luckily, the eldest and second sons had no talent for studying, dropped out of school early and went home to farm, and did not cause any disputes over studying. Only Pei Jiancheng had some talent for reading, so he was supported by the whole family to study in the city. To be honest, if we only talk about sending him to study in the city, the money spent was not exaggerated to a frightening level. After all, the school fees at that time were not too expensive, and only accommodation and food had to be paid for. However, the family lost a laborer, and the whole family had to work harder under the pressure of Li Xiuzhi.

 

 

Pei Jiancheng and Pei Jianlai did not go to school, so they prepared for their marriage early under the arrangement of their family. The only thing was that Li Xiuzhi refused to pay for the bride price. In her opinion, why did she have to pay so much money from her pocket to buy something big just to marry a daughter-in-law?

 

She wanted to leave this money to her precious little son. Whether she wants to marry or not, but if she wanted money, it would be impossible! Even if it was a girl that Pei Jianshe had a crush on, Li Xiuzhi refused because of the dowry she asked for. Finally, after careful selection, she chose two girls from a nearby village who were not very good-looking but were hardworking and did not want much dowry. Both sons did not resist and accepted it silently.

 

But when it came to Pei Jiancheng, everything was different. Li Xiuzhi avoided people and discussed with her youngest son again and again. Finally, she “spent a lot of money” to buy three turns and one ring, and took some cash as a betrothal gift to ask for the daughter of the principal of the county primary school as a wife for Pei Jiancheng. Of course, it must be admitted that Pei Jiancheng had a beautiful face since he was a child, and he didn’t work in the fields. He had fair skin and looked outstanding among the young men. He was very motivated when he was studying. Although he didn’t go to school, he was also a technical secondary school student. After graduation, with the financial support of Li Xiuzhi, he found a job as a township courier, so his own conditions were not too bad.

 

In short, Li Xiuzhi used the money earned by the whole family to support her precious youngest son, not only supporting his studies and work, but also taking care of his wife.

 

If things had continued in this way, perhaps everything would have been as Li Xiuzhi had expected. The two old people would have had a small savings, and although they would live with their eldest son in the future, they would not spend his money, and they would live a happy life, and perhaps even provide some support to their youngest son. However, the appearance of Pei Lanyi changed everything.

 

If the situation develops like this, maybe everything will be as Li Xiuzhi expected. The two of them have a small deposit. Although they live with the eldest son in the future, they will not spend it on him. They live a peaceful and beautiful life. Maybe they can still get some subsidies. The youngest son, but Pei Lanyi’s appearance changed everything.

 

When Pei Lanyi came to this world, she was still a baby. She was still in the swaddling clothes when she heard her mother cry to her father, saying that her grandmother was partial and unreasonable. She worked so hard to give birth to a child, but she didn’t even have an egg in water. If it was the third brother, she probably would have put the chicken in the pot. But her father just sat there in silence, hesitating for a long time before saying, “The third brother is not in good health.”

 

When she was a little older, she could see the “abnormality” of the family more directly. The eldest uncle was like an old ox, working diligently in the fields every day. He was only 30 years old, but he looked like he was almost 40. Her father was probably not in good health when he was young, and he would have backaches every day after working outside. Even so, the family’s meals were still deducted by grandma, who was more professional than the canteen aunties in later generations. With one spoonful of soup, there was more soup and less porridge. If she asked a few questions, grandma would come up with a storm and brainwash them on the spot. But if the third uncle came back from the county, it would be completely different. The chickens, ducks, fish and meat that grandma had hidden somewhere were all found out, and the dishes on the table were not stingy with oil and water. The third uncle’s bowl was piled up like a small mountain, and grandma kept shouting that he had suffered and lost weight.
