After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

Chapter 204

Wang Yue caused a scene but did not get any benefit from it. Instead, she lost face in front of her mother-in-law and failed in her attempt.

When she went out, one could see the anger on her face.

Pei JianGuo also felt very awkward. He did not know whether to leave or stay, especially when faced with Xia's contemptuous look, Old Pei's sadness, and Grandpa An and Grandma An's disappointed expressions, which made him very uncomfortable.

"JianGuo, you should go back too," today's incident hit Old Pei hard and he could not suppress the disappointment in his heart.

This child has indeed been spoiled. He is neither smart nor responsible.

But things have come to this point. His personality was already set in his twenties. It would not be easy to change him.

Pei JianGuo's face turned even paler. After this incident, he could imagine how his family would see him in the future, and how others would think of him.

He did not even have the courage to salvage the situation.

When he returned home, he could still hear his mother complaining about how Old Pei no longer cared for Pei JianGuo now that he had other grandchildren and was biased towards Pei Jing's son.

Pei JianGuo did not say a word. He just closed the door a little harder, making a bang sound that startled both Wang Yue and Pei Shuangshuang who was listening to the radio.

After recovering from the shock, Wang Yue got even angrier. She banged on Pei JianGuo's door and started shouting, "You deadbeat, who are you trying to scare? I'm your mother. What's wrong with me nagging at you for a bit? You even dare to show me attitude..."

Suddenly, Pei JianGuo felt a surge of anger rushing to his head. He flung open the door, his face red and neck thick as he roared: "Exactly because you are my mother, can't you think for me before doing anything? Causing such a scene at grandfather's place without considering the severity, how will the family look at me in the future? Grandfather is still alive. Do I seem so eager for his inheritance? Besides, there are still dad and second and third uncle. Even if grandfather is gone, his belongings won't possibly go to just our family. Grandfather won't exclude second and third uncle and give everything to my dad."

Although Pei JianGuo was spoiled, he had a clear view on this matter.

Or perhaps, having lived a carefree life with food and shelter all provided for, he did not have too strong a desire for money.

"So now you're blaming me? I'm not doing this for your own good?" Wang Yue got so angry her chest heaved rapidly. "Pei JianGuo, why am I fighting for this? Isn't it because you are useless? Your dad wanders around freely by himself, only thinking about that vixen in his heart. He does not care about family matters, then he will blame me for spoiling you all too much. Our family relies on your second aunt's strong maternal family. She hasn't been able to give birth to a son all these years. Your second uncle does not even dare to say anything to her. Your young uncle married the daughter-in-law I picked for you despite the generation gap between them. Ugh, so shameless. I am a lone woman. My entire maternal family died trying to save your ungrateful dad. All these years I had no one to rely on. If I don't fight for our rights, who will take me seriously? Your sister has been home for so long, your grandfather does not want to use his connections, your dad is also useless. The neighborhood committee is asking people to be sent down to the countryside..."

There is a saying, every family has its own troubles that only they know.

Wang Yue did not know what exactly she was fighting for either. It seemed like she needed that drive, so as to tell herself she could still carry on.

Back then, her marrying Pei Yong could be considered reciprocating his life-saving grace. Pei Yong used to have a nurse girlfriend and they were going to get married after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

But things often turn out unexpected. Pei Yong was rescued after getting injured, while Wang's entire family died trying to protect this soldier, with only Wang Yue who happened to be out surviving the disaster.

Pei Yong originally wanted to take Wang Yue as a sister. The Pei family knew to be grateful, and Old Pei stated that even his own son would have to stand behind Wang Yue if she agreed.

But Wang Yue at that time was unwilling. She insisted on marrying Pei Yong. With her entire family's wretched ending right before her eyes, Pei Yong also could not go against his conscience to reject her.

Pei Yong's girlfriend also understood his difficult position and Wang Yue's perspective, reaching an amicable breakup with Pei Yong then.

After Pei Yong married Wang Yue, he arranged for her to be a trainee nurse in his troop. Pei Yong's ex-girlfriend was grateful for Wang's family's sacrifice and took good care of Wang Yue, personally guiding her along.

But Wang Yue was afraid their old feelings would resurface, forcing the other party to apply for transfer. They never met again after that and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive after the victory of the War of Resistance.

Pei Yong was never an indecisive person. Since he decided to marry Wang Yue, he did not think of letting her down. But one incident led to another, and even the greatest kindness could turn cold over time.

Over twenty to thirty years, the only thing sustaining their marriage was that not yet worn out life-saving gratitude.

In the Pei family, Old Pei and Grandfather were talking in the living room, while Xia took Grandmother to her own room.

Afraid that her pregnant granddaughter might feel uneasy, as soon as Grandmother entered the room, she comforted Xia, "Xia my dear, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a difficult issue since ancient times. A married woman is different from when she was in her maternal family. But don't feel wronged in your heart. No matter what, you still have grandpa and grandma backing you up. We won't let anyone bully you. Jing is capable and promising. Your future days will surely not be lacking. Even if Old Pei later decides to donate this house, grandma will not let you be homeless."

Grandmother did not say she would leave her house to Xia, after all there were still several grandsons in the family. Even if the grandsons did not mind, they would still need to marry, and not handling monetary matters clearly would inevitably leave hidden troubles, causing the siblings to drift further apart in the future.

In short, Grandmother would not allow her only granddaughter to suffer unfair treatment.

"Rest assured grandma, I don't feel wronged. I'm not a greedy person either. Jing is very good to me. We have a few lovely children now. I'm very content. And I believe we will have our own home, not relying on the elder's inheritance to live," a smile lit up in Xia's eyes. Not only was she confident in herself, she also had great faith in Jing.

A man like him would shine brightly no matter where he was.

"Since you think this way, grandma feels relieved too," back in the days when Grandmother was in charge, the manors and shops under her command were endless, even those Xia looked down on now. As for this house, she looked down on it even more. So she turned the conversation to matters about the children instead. "You are probably due in just a few days seeing how big your belly has grown. I think we shouldn't delay anymore. Your big brother is leaving tomorrow morning. Let's take advantage of your second brother's free time and wait at the hospital to be assured."

"Alright, let's listen to grandma on this," Xia thought that going to the hospital would be good too, sparing others from enviously eyeing her staying here.

As for staying for confinement after giving birth, by then Jing would be home too, so she naturally would not need to handle those matters.

The closer it got to the due date, the harder it became to endure each day.

Carrying triplets in her belly felt like they were wrestling inside, at times kicking up a huge lump that distorted the shape of her belly. And they tended to move around most actively at night.

When she was expecting the dragon and phoenix twins, Jing would attend to her. But now he still had not returned, so there was no one who could share her suffering. She could only rely on herself to endure it all.

The quiet night was filled with scudding dark clouds that obscured even the moon. The air lingered with a stifling aura.

The south was rainy season. Having just passed the new year, there was already a downpour. It just was not as heavy as this one. As soon as the raindrops fell, one could sense its magnificent force.

Fortunately, the rain stopped by daybreak.

An Zhiren drove Xia to the hospital.
