After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies-Chapter 375: To Achieve Purpose
Chapter 375
Liu Chunhua looked up in surprise, incredulously saying: "You...are you serious?"
Although this was her initial scheme, she had never thought her hopes would be so easily fulfilled.
It felt a little like a dream.
"Yeah, do you want to?" Pei Jianguo asked again.
"I..." Liu Chunhua was stunned by this news, almost laughing excitedly. At this moment, the pain from the miscarriage was completely gone, only a feeling of accomplishment filling her heart.
Fortunately, she knew better than to appear too elated, or it would easily arouse suspicion that this had been her ploy all along.
The cramps in her belly weren't fake, and coupled with the pallor on her face from blood loss, it was easy for her to put on a fragile, hesitant complexity.
"Of course I'm willing. You know my family situation too. If I go back to my maiden home, I might even be sold off again by my family. Naturally I'd eagerly take you up on this. It's just...I'm just worried about wronging you. After all, last night, you mistook me for Gao Second Sister and refused to let go."
People can burst out with potential beyond their own expectations when desperate.
Liu Chunhua had always felt she was stupid, but at this critical juncture, she had also learned the art of conversing.
On the surface she was saying she was afraid of wronging Pei Jianguo, while also subtly reminding him that last night he had mistaken her for Gao Second Sister and forced himself on her.
So he owed her and should take responsibility for her.
Although she hadn't expected the child in her belly to leave in this way, even without this accident, Liu Chunhua would not have kept a child whose father was in jail.
She knew her own limits. She could barely survive herself, let alone raise another child. It was simply unrealistic.
At the moment, Pei Jianguo had no desire to talk too much with her, much less listen to her woes. He was just relieved that she had agreed.
As long as her heart was inclined towards him, this matter would not be exposed, and he would be safe.
Only the two of them knew what happened last night, and no third person would find out.
"It's good that you agree. You rest first, you can be discharged this afternoon. The Gao family's house has been confiscated so you have no place to stay. You might as well just move to my place directly. It'll also be more convenient for me to take care of you. In a couple days when you've recovered, we can go register our marriage." Speaking to this point, Pei Jianguo was suddenly doubtful and asked her, "Did you previously register your marriage with Gao Dalin?"
"We didn't register our marriage. Few people register marriages in the countryside. He just gave my dad bride price money, then took me back with him." Moreover, a few days ago I officially terminated the relationship with him in front of the neighborhood committee. I have no ties with him now." Liu Chunhua hurried to explain, sounding a little anxious. Her eyes also shrank back, as if afraid Pei Jianguo wouldn't believe her.
In fact, Pei Jianguo didn't care about any of that. He only cared about his own safety and his job. "Then what about your household registration?"
"My household registration is still at my dad's place." For some reason, it seemed Gao Dalin had only wanted to buy a maid to sleep with, treating her as a servant to exploit. This situation had persisted until he found out she was pregnant, only improving a little then.
Pei Jianguo also knew about this. In the past he had even felt bad for her and advised Gao Dalin to treat her better.
On the surface Gao Dalin behaved quite well, but once back in the room he still didn't treat her like a human, only caring about his own pleasure.
Pei Jing had sent his few children to the army, even PingAn had been sent away to train by him.
Pei Jianguo didn't care for or ask after the children. In the past he'd always let Pei Yong take charge. Guo Momo was unwilling to agree, as she had only just returned to reunite with her son, and also wanted to spend more time with him.
On the surface PingAn didn't refuse, but he directly packed up and ran off with a few uncles. He had only left Pei Yong a letter. By the time Pei Jianguo found out, PingAn was probably already at the army.
Only Wanqing was left at home, mainly because she was a girl. If she was exposed to the wind and rain training for two months, she wouldn't look proper when she came back. Zhi Xia couldn't agree to let her ruin her skin like that.
Fortunately this child had been very naughty when little, but as she grew up she developed some gentle and elegant bearing, no longer running around everywhere, and also letting her hair grow out.
The 13 year old girl had a bit of the air of a girl next door coming of age, unlike Zhi Xia's gentle features. Her looks tended more towards a dazzling boldness, and her features were also more similar to Pei Jing's.
Maybe it was genetic, but aside from their youngest son, all the children resembled their father more.
Yun Yan was a year older than Wanqing. She didn't know how she had gotten to know Chenye, but she had come to the house looking for him once, though by then he had already gone to the army.
Yun Yan said she had just moved here and didn't have many friends, so she took the initiative to befriend Wanqing, wanting her to bring her into the local children's circle.
The children here had mostly grown up in this area since birth, so it was quite difficult for outsiders to integrate without someone to lead them in.
Today, Yun Yan was visibly more excited. She jogged into Zhi Xia's home, "Wanqing, something bad happened! Your eldest uncle is beating someone behind the house and even closed the main gate!" 𝘧𝓇𝘦𝘦𝔀ℯ𝘣𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝓸𝓂
"My eldest uncle? Beating who?" Recently Wanqing had been busy learning to make clothes, because she had a doll that could change outfits. With her brothers away from home, she was bored and started playing with dolls.
What she really wanted was to go watch TV, but her mom kept her from watching too much, afraid it would ruin her eyesight.
"He's beating that cousin of yours who married so many wives. He brought a new wife here, and it made your eldest uncle furious!" Yun Yan's eyes lit up when she talked about Pei Jianguo, even though he didn't live here. The neighborhood aunties certainly gossiped about him a lot.
Saying that even though he was so young, he had already married so many wives. He had prospects.
The children didn't understand anything, and even thought having many wives meant you really had prospects. They kept parroting that when they grew up they also wanted many wives.
The adults only laughed at the children's ignorance.
"Do you want to go see? When I came over, many people were peeking in through the cracks of the door!"
"I don't want to go see. I'm going to go play at my grandma's place later." The few times Pei Jianguo had come to the house looking for Zhi Xia, the children had taken note of it, erasing any good feelings they'd had for him. Now they just hoped he would get a beating.
"You're going to your grandma's place? Don't go, just stay here and play with me." Yun Yan ran over intimately pulling her arm back and forth.
Wanqing was a little uncomfortable, dodging as she said: "I already promised my grandma I would go stay with her a few days. I also have to go with her shopping at the mall tomorrow. It wouldn't be good to break a promise."
Liu Ling had taken her children to find An Zhiqing. An Zhiren and his wife hadn't been back for two years. An ZhiXian was being pressed to get married, so she simply lived at the hospital directly. An ZhiAng's child was still young, so Zhou Nan could only come by occasionally.
Now that this person had free time, she suddenly felt a bit bored, and thought to have Wanqing come over to stay a few days.
Anyway, Zhi Xia was busy every day, sometimes only coming back in the wee hours.
