Zhang Jianhe is also a thief. Half a month after everyone in the family knew that Pei Yue was dating, he found a tight-lipped aunt and asked her to spread the rumor that Pei Yue was adopting. Of course, the help was not free, and he was paid.
.
The news spread throughout the auto parts factory like a tornado. Aunt Tang immediately told Wang Hongfen after hearing this rumor. She said: "This rumor says that Pei Yue, Lao Pei, and Zhao Yi have nothing in common, and he is not
He was born here. Do you think he was really adopted?"
Wang Hongfen's heart skipped a beat, and then she quickly said: "What are you talking about? Pei Yue is my Lao Pei's son. He doesn't look like my Lao Pei, but he looks like his uncle."
Aunt Tang said in surprise: "How do you know?"
"My old Pei told me personally."
Aunt Tang was dubious about this statement.
When she got home and saw Pei Xuehai, she immediately asked: "Old Pei, people are saying that Pei Yue is not your son, but adopted. I don't know who he is, Old Pei, but he spreads such vicious rumors."
She had already noticed something was wrong about Pei Xuehai's behavior before, so she didn't ask further at the time. Now it was obvious that someone was causing trouble, and this person must be caught.
Pei Xuehai was also confused and said: "I have been retired for five years and I haven't bothered anyone. What is the purpose of spreading such rumors?"
Wang Hongfen was also thinking about this matter today. She said: "Old Pei, do you think it is possible that he is Pei Yue's partner? She wants to alienate the father-son relationship between you and Pei Yue, so she deliberately spreads such rumors."
Pei Xuehai thought it was impossible: "How does she know that Pei Yue is not like me and Zhao Yi? Also, the people in our family building don't know her, and she is still studying in university in Sijiu City. How can she spread rumors?"
Wang Hongfen also thought about this problem. She said: "You don't need to do this kind of thing yourself, just let someone help you. Our family building has a ready-made one."
Pei Xuehai knew that she was talking about Zhang Jianhe, but he didn't think so. Zhang Jianhe and Pei Yue were very close, so it was impossible for such rumors to spread. The unknown life experience was not a good thing for Pei Yue.
Seeing his denial, Wang Hongfen said: "That means we can't see that our good people are doing bad things. Xuehai, if someone asks you, you must deny it firmly."
Pei Xuehai hesitated and said, "Hongfen, actually..."
Wang Hongfen interrupted him and said: "Old Pei, Pei Yue is your son, your biological son. You have raised him for so many years, and now that you are older, he has to raise you."
Even if Pei Yue will not support Jia Mao and Jiade, as long as he is Lao Pei's son, he will have to bear Lao Pei's pension and medical expenses. But if he finds his biological parents, Pei Yue will use this as an excuse to abandon them.
Life is difficult for them.
When Pei Xuehai heard this, he sighed and said nothing more.
Two days later, Zhang Jianhe returned to the family building. During dinner, he specifically asked Zhang's mother about this: "Mom, I heard that Brother Yue is not Pei Xuehai's biological child, but adopted. Mom, is this true?"
Zhang's mother denied this statement without thinking: "That's all nonsense from outside. If Pei Yue was adopted, how could Pei Xuehai tolerate his own child if he could have children. This matter was spread when Pei Yue was young.
A good-tempered person like you, Aunt Zhao, lost her temper when she found out. After that, no one talked about it anymore."
"But Brother Yue, Pei Xuehai and Aunt Zhao don't look alike. Is this a fact?"
Zhang's mother said: "Your Aunt Zhao said that Pei Yue looks like her brother."
"Have you met Aunt Zhao and her brother?"
Zhang's mother shook her head and said: "Your Aunt Zhao's family members died at the hands of the Japs, and she is the only one left in the family. I have seen photos of their family, but the photos are not clear after so many years, and his younger brother only had
How old are you?"
Zhang Jianhe asked back: "Mom, when I was a kid, I took 20 yuan from home to buy toys and snacks. When you and dad found out, you closed the door and beat me up. But when people outside asked, you said you broke the radio.
I didn’t steal the money.”
Zhang's mother understood the meaning of his words and said: "Pei Xuehai was blinded by that woman's lard. Whatever she says is whatever she says. Jianhe, even if you don't believe Pei Xuehai, you should believe in your Aunt Zhao."
Zhang Jianhe asked another question: "When Aunt Zhao died, she gave all her family savings to Brother Yue. Mom, Brother Yue was only six years old and a child at that time. Why did Aunt Zhao do this?"
He had also thought about this matter carefully these days, and then discovered that Tian Shao's suspicion might be true. As a mother, she was about to die, even if she felt that the man was careless in his career and could not take care of his son, she would not be on guard against him.
But Aunt Zhao lied to Pei Xuehai that all her family savings were spent on medical treatment, and then gave all the savings to Pei Yue.
Zhang's mother asked in shock: "What deposit?"
Mother Zhang was shocked when she learned about the savings. She really didn't expect that Zhao Yi could save money so much, more than four thousand yuan. Her salary was only sixteen yuan more than 20 years ago.
Zhang's mother was also a shrewd person. She looked at Zhang Jianhe with a critical eye and asked, "Why are you so concerned about this matter? Jianhe, you couldn't have started this rumor, right?"
So if you say you know your son better than your mother, you can guess the truth right away.
Zhang Jianhe has long thought about countermeasures: "I have the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard, and I dare not spread rumors about Brother Yue! The more I thought about it after hearing this rumor, the more I felt that something was wrong. Pei Jiamao and Pei Jiade, the brothers and sisters, would
If you feel uncomfortable, send him to the factory doctor. Once Pei Xiaoxiao had a fever, he even asked for leave and sent him to the hospital to take care of him. But as for Brother Yue, he never cared about it."
"Mom, you always said that if you marry your stepmother, you will have a stepfather. That's why Brother Yue is so pitiful. But there was a gap of three years between the death of my aunt and his marriage to Wang Hongfen. In these three years, he never took care of Brother Yue. At that time, he could not take care of Brother Yue.
No one is blowing the pillow wind. If Brother Yue hadn't had money, he might have starved to death."
"Mom, I really doubt that Pei Yue was adopted. Only in this way can we explain why he doesn't care about Brother Yue so much and can casually tell people that Brother Yue is a thief."
Zhang's mother also felt that something was wrong with this analysis. She recalled the past carefully and found that Pei Xuehai really didn't care about Pei Yue. After Zhao Yi died of illness, Pei Yue had a fever and was injured from playing. He was also busy working, and they were the ones who followed him.
Zhao Yi has a good relationship, but she can't bear to take turns taking care of him. But she feels that there is no point in pursuing this matter.
Zhang's mother said: "So what if Pei Yue was adopted? Pei Xuehai raised him, so he has to be raised until he is old. Otherwise, his reputation will be affected and his future will be hindered."
"If you are adopted, you should always know where your roots are."
Mother Zhang looked at her son, sighed and said: "Pei Xuehai was in the southwest before he and your Aunt Zhao changed careers. At that time, the southwest was seriously infested with bandits and was very uneventful. With your Aunt Zhao's character, Pei Yue really adopted him, so he must
She is also an orphan, or even unwanted by her parents."
Hearing this, Zhang Jianhe suddenly felt that he should not continue the investigation. Although Pei Xuehai was very cold, Aunt Zhao hurt him to the core. No matter what, he was better than an orphan or abandoned child.
