The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 2 Where is A Zhan?

I don't know how long I slept for. When Tao Zhen opened his eyes, it was already dark. Seeing that she was awake, Mrs. Pei smiled and said, "The food will be ready soon. I'll bring it to you."

Tao Zhen shook his head hurriedly: "I'll go out to eat."

She is used to doing things by herself, so she has no nerve to let Mrs. Pei serve her all the time.

The Pei family lived in the simplest thatched house, which was drafty from all sides and was cold in winter and hot in summer. They were barely separated into three rooms. Tao Zhen lived in one room, Mrs. Pei and his younger brother Pei lived in another room, and the second son of the Pei family lived in the east room. The west room is the kitchen.

The eating place was in the west room. When Tao Zhen came in, there was a cute baby of five or six years old sitting on the bench next to him.

Mrs. Pei had three sons and one daughter. The eldest son Pei Huan died, and her daughter Pei Ying got married before the house was confiscated. Sitting in front of her was Pei Heng, the younger brother of Pei, but the second son Pei Zhan was nowhere to be seen.

Mrs. Pei placed a bowl of white rice porridge in front of Tao Zhen and said with a smile: "Zhen, sit down quickly."

Tao Zhen sat down next to Mrs. Pei and found that only she had a bowl of fragrant and soft white rice porridge in front of her. The other bowls had clearly visible rice soup at the bottom. There were also a few dark wild vegetable pancakes on the table.The only plate of unknown pickles was placed in front of Tao Zhen. The little baby sat next to it, looking at the white rice porridge in front of Tao Zhen with wide eyes, swallowing from time to time.

Tao Zhen couldn't eat any more. He took the child's bowl and shoveled most of the bowl of porridge into his bowl. Mrs. Pei quickly stopped her: "I'll help you recuperate..."

Tao Zhen said: "I can't eat that much, my little brother is growing tall."

Mrs. Pei didn't stop him. She also felt sorry for her son.

Little Brother Pei got porridge, his eyes were bright and he was as beautiful as a New Year picture doll. He looked at Mrs. Pei eagerly. After getting Mrs. Pei's permission, he lowered his head and started eating.

"Where's A Zhan?" Tao Zhen asked casually.

Speaking of Pei Zhan, Mrs. Pei sighed slightly, but was worried about affecting Tao Zhen's mood, so she forced a smile: "He hasn't finished his work today. He asked someone to send a message and he will come back later."

Tao Zhen didn't ask any more questions.

Strong laborers like Pei Zhan who were exiled were assigned to work in the quarry, doing the heaviest work and earning the least money, just like modern prisoners being rehabilitated.

After dinner, Pei Zhan hadn't come back yet, so Mrs. Pei became a little anxious. It was so dark, what else could she do?

Mrs. Pei kept looking out the door, the worry in her eyes was very obvious. Her husband and eldest son were both dead, and her remaining two sons were her life. If something happened to them, she would still have no face even if she died. To the ancestors of the Pei family.

Her emotions also affected Pei Heng. Pei Heng began to twist uneasily and looked out the door eagerly, his big eyes full of uneasiness and fear.

Pei Heng is six years old this year. He was originally a well-behaved and sensible child. However, unexpected changes occurred at home and he was frightened on the way to exile. He has not spoken a word since he arrived here, and his mood is even more unstable at night. If Pei Heng When his wife is not around, he yells and cries.

Tao Zhen stood up and said, "I'll go to the door to greet him. You can coax my little brother to sleep first."

Mrs. Pei was worried: "You are not well yet..."

Tao Zhen said, "It's okay. After lying down all day, I also moved around."

Mrs. Pei had no choice but to nod: "The rice is hot in the pot, and A-Zhan can eat it right away when he comes back."

Tao Zhen watched them enter the house, then breathed a sigh of relief, went back to her house to get some clothes, put them on, and walked to the door.
