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

Chapter 360

“It's not that I don't want to get married, it's that she doesn't want to marry me. What can I do about it? Mom, I'm already over 30, can you please stop meddling with me? Do you know how annoying you are?”

It was rare for Pei JianGuo to lose his temper like this. It was only because too many vexatious things had piled up that he would become irritated.

Wang Yue also didn't expect him to speak to her like this. She remembered the last time her son had spoken to her this way was when he was determined to marry Guo Momo.

She was stunned for a moment, a hurt expression flashing across her face.

Pei JianGuo also realized his slip of the tongue. He impatiently slapped his own cheek and guiltily said, “I’m sorry, Mom. I know I shouldn’t have said that. But I don’t know what got into me. I feel very annoyed and I’m about to lose control of myself.”

“It’s alright, son. Mom understands you. Mom is just worried about you and afraid that Gao Qingcheng doesn’t truly want to marry you and is just stringing you along. And there is also this year’s family planning policy that makes my heart thump...”

“I already have PingAn,” mentioning his son who had recovered, a trace of softness flashed across Pei JianGuo’s face, and his emotions stabilized a lot.

Ever since Guo Momo left, he had been trying to reconcile with his son. Perhaps the deprivation in childhood was too severe, and PingAn still wasn’t very close to him.

When it came to that grandson, Wang Yue was definitely also distressed, but she also had her own worries. “PingAn is a good kid and smart too, but unfortunately his mom had already led him astray when he was little, and he’s not close to us at all. I made some clothes for him and sent them over last time, but the brat actually refused to take them. And you dad, he doesn’t help plead our case at all either, he just watches as the child becomes more and more estranged from us.”

“Alright alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’m exhausted after a long day and annoyed to death,” said Pei JianGuo. His work had been going alright recently. He also realized that his superiors were obviously giving him some preferential treatment. Many things that he previously didn’t have access to, he could now get involved in.

He also wanted to vigorously perform well, but the mess in his personal affairs caused him to become irritable again, which was also clearly reflected in his work.

At lunch today, he had been criticized harshly, and then was rejected when he proposed in the afternoon. And when he got home he still had to bear Wang Yue’s complaints, so it was no wonder he was becoming more and more impatient.

The recruitment notice for the electrical appliance factory had just been posted when torrential rain started pouring down.

Today, over 20 people had been recruited in total. Two high school students made Know Summer quite satisfied. There was also a educated youth who had returned from the countryside that she planned to groom for a management position in the future.

But it was currently the twelfth lunar month, so official operations would not start until after New Year’s.

She held a black umbrella and parked her bike in the factory, preparing to walk home on foot.

The rain grew heavier, pelting loudly on the umbrella.

She could clearly feel that her shoes were completely soaked, her pant legs were also half drenched, cold and clinging to her body, making her shiver a little.

All the children at home had started school. The weather had still been sunny when they left home in the morning, and none of them had brought an umbrella.

Although the several children could all enter the space, they couldn’t bring anything out from inside.

Chenye had entered high school in the new semester. With An Jingzhi there, she didn’t need to worry, but Wanqing was still in middle school. The triplets and Xiaoliu were all in elementary school. She also didn’t know if Sister Zhang would make it in time to bring them umbrellas.

Although there was Liu Ling, there were too many children and she was afraid Sister Liu couldn’t handle them.

Just as she was feeling anxious, a car suddenly stopped beside her.

The car window rolled down and Pei Jing called to her, "Stop dawdling and get in quickly."

Know Summer opened the car door and got in, bringing a chill with her damp clothes.

Pei Jing looked at her half-wet garments distressedly. His hands were on the steering wheel but he didn’t dare let go. He could only ask caringly, "Even if you're busy, don't neglect your health in the moment. It's raining so hard, you should pay more attention to yourself."

"I know, it just suddenly started pouring when the weather was still nice and sunny this morning. No one expected this,” Know Summer explained. “When did you come back? Why didn't you go pick up the kids first?"

"I just got home and heard Sister Zhang say you were over here, so I came after Wanqing had taken the kids home. Sister Zhang went to bring umbrellas to those little ones. I came to get you.” He spun the steering wheel. “Boys can't be pampered too much. Braving the rain to get home by themselves builds character. There are many other families out there with no one to bring umbrellas. The kids run home through the rain themselves."

"I didn't pamper them. It's just that catching a cold is easy when it's so cold and rainy." Know Summer defended.

"That's why I came to pick you up. Look at you drenched like this, you must be frozen badly," said Pei Jing, diverting the topic.

Know Summer knew he was changing the subject and didn’t want to argue with him, but she still felt a little stifled.

After they arrived home, the children were already there. Sister Zhang had them bundled under blankets to warm them up. Know Summer instinctively wanted to go inside and take a look, but Pei Jing wrapped her up entirely and carried her.

"Don't check on them yet, Sister Zhang is taking care of them. You're drenched. Go change first so you don’t catch a chill."

Perhaps thanks to the space, Know Summer and the kids at home rarely got sick, but very rarely didn't mean never. Their bodies were just a bit better than others, plus they often ate things that had restorative abilities.

After Pei Jing carried Know Summer into the room, he told her, “Go take a hot bath in the space first. I’ll go check on the kids.” Though his words were still stern, he was still very concerned about the children. And because he didn’t come home often, he cherished the time spent with them even more.

Know Summer nodded. By the time she came out of the space again, the children had all changed into dry clothes.

Sister Zhang had specially boiled soup. After dinner, they waited a while longer. Seeing that it was still drizzling, Sister Zhang found a small break in the rain and said, "I should get going while the rain's not heavy, lest it gets dark and the road gets harder to walk.”

“Why not let Pei Jing send you back? It's still raining so hard." Know Summer had just finished speaking when Sister Zhang hurriedly waved her hands while holding a large black umbrella, rushing out into the rain. "No need to send me, I can go back myself. It's not very far, and all that starting and stopping wastes gas."

Not long after Sister Zhang left, the rain stopped for a bit. There was some accumulated water in the yard, so the kids put on rain boots and started stomping in the puddles.

Know Summer told them no but they didn’t listen. Pei Jing thought the children were enjoying themselves and saw no harm in letting them play for a while.

She simply stopped minding them and let them play wildly outside while she went in, unable to stand the cold.

After quite some time had passed Pei Jing finally opened the door, bringing in a rush of chill air.

"Did you have fun?" Know Summer asked.

"Yup, they washed up and all went to bed," replied Pei Jing. He removed his cotton coat and hung it on the rack, then soaked his feet in a footbath.

The night was lingering.

As soon as it turned light out, Know Summer heard noisy chatter outside.

Getting up and putting on her clothes, she opened the door to see a blanket of white in the treetops.

But there was no snow accumulation below because heavy rain had preceded the snowfall.
