Chapter 565: The Hot-tempered Young Wife Captures the Warm-hearted and Handsome Factory Director 13
Lin Yi had just grabbed Tian Guiying's arm, trying to stop her and Wang Fang's argument from escalating. Unexpectedly, Tian Guiying, in a fit of rage, swung her arm violently, causing Lin Yi to lose her balance and stumble back several steps.
Just when Lin Yi was shaking and about to lose her balance, Pei Jingping was quick-witted and rushed forward, holding Lin Yi steadily.
A subtle worry flashed across his eyes. After supporting Lin Yi, he quickly turned around and shouted at Tian Guiying and Wang Fang who were still fighting, "Stop it!"
Tian Guiying and Wang Fang were usually a little afraid of Pei Jingping. When they heard that he was really angry, they immediately let go of each other's hands, which were originally twisted together.
"Enough of the fuss! Go home and stop embarrassing yourself here!" Pei Jingping's voice was cold and stern, leaving no room for the two of them. Tian Guiying and Wang Fang knew they were in the wrong and didn't dare to refute him.
Wang Fang rushed back to her home again, her movements swift and awkward. Tian Guiying felt that her son-in-law had humiliated her in public, and she was filled with anger. She stiffened her neck, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she dared not speak.
Seeing this, Lin Yi quickly stepped forward to persuade her, "Mom, today's not the right time. You and Big Brother should go back first. Once we have evidence against Wang Fang and Wang Na, we'll settle the score with them!"
As Lin Yi spoke, she gently patted Tian Guiying's back, trying to soothe her emotions. Tian Guiying seemed to have found a way out after hearing this, and then she reluctantly prepared to leave. Lin Yi pretended to send Tian Guiying downstairs.
Before leaving, Tian Guiying grabbed Lin Yi and urged her, "Hurry up and get your son-in-law. Your eldest brother has chosen a girl from a certain family, but the bride price is a bit high. For the sake of our Lin family's incense, you must think of a way!"
When Lin Yi heard this, she immediately regretted going downstairs, secretly thinking that this family was hopeless. But now was not the right time to tear her face apart, so she could only suppress her dissatisfaction and nodded perfunctorily.
After finally seeing Tian Guiying and Lin Tao off, Lin Yi felt relieved. The first thing she did when she got home was to quickly find the hidden dumplings, chicken and eggs.
She hurried into the room, came to the cabinet, squatted down, and groped with her hands. Pei Jingping followed behind Lin Yi, watching her series of actions, his heart full of doubts. When he saw her pull out two basins from under the quilt, he was suddenly a little speechless.
"We don't need this little bit of food, so there's no need to hide it like this in the future!" Pei Jingping frowned, his tone filled with confusion and helplessness. When he said this, he didn't realize that his attitude towards Lin Yi had quietly changed.
"I worked so hard to earn these, why should they be given away cheaply to those idle vampires?" Lin Yi retorted immediately after hearing Pei Jingping's words, her tone full of confidence and righteousness. This was the confidence that only comes from spending one's own money. She didn't want the fruits of her labor to be easily taken away by those who reap what they sowed.
"Did you earn it?" Pei Jingping looked at Lin Yi teasingly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. It was obvious that he did not take what Lin Yi said seriously.
Lin Yi ignored Pei Jingping's suspicion, stuffed a basin into Pei Jingping's hand, and said confidently: "Who are you looking down on? I know how much my family has spent on your money over the years. When I save enough, I will return it to you without missing a cent!"
Lin Yi's tone was firm and persistent. Her idea was simple. Even though she and Pei Jingping were already husband and wife, if she wanted to start an equal relationship, she had to be financially independent first.
If she didn't pay off the debt owed to the original owner and her family, Pei Jingping's prejudice would probably never be erased, and any friction in the future would be a fuse. She didn't want to remain passive and indebted in this marriage.
"That's not what I meant. Some of the money should be given to you!" Pei Jingping hurriedly explained after hearing Lin Yi's words. But his explanation only made Lin Yi more determined. She felt that Pei Jingping still didn't truly understand her determination to be independent.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat first!" Lin Yi didn't want to continue this topic. She had already walked into the kitchen and started heating up dumplings.
When the dumplings were served on the table, the two children came over and stared at the dumplings, obviously wanting to eat them.
Lin Yi stopped them: "Save some space, there will be fried chicken later. Mom will fry some for you after she finishes eating. It's hot now, so you can't leave it out. You can eat as much as you want later!"
After Lin Yi finished speaking, the two little guys immediately stopped eating dumplings, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. Pei Jingping looked at them with a bit of surprise. In the past, when there were delicious foods, these two little guys were not so easily persuaded to give up.
"Why are you two so easy to talk to today?" Pei Jingping asked curiously.
"Dad, Mom has been making a lot of delicious food for us recently. I don't know what fried chicken Mom mentioned, but it must be delicious. My brother and I are going to save our stomachs for it!" Huanhuan said excitedly, looking up at her little face. As she said this, she almost drooled when she thought of the delicious food Lin Yi had made before.
Pei Jingping looked at Lin Yi, who was leisurely eating dumplings. He couldn't help but wonder, and asked curiously, "What happened in the month I was away that made you change so much?"
When Lin Yi heard Pei Jingping's question, she thought about it and decided that since he asked, it would be a good excuse to cover up her increasingly obvious changes.
So Lin Yi lied calmly, "As soon as you left, my mother swindled the living expenses you left for me. My two children and I were almost starving. When I asked her for more, she only gave me one dollar. That's when I suddenly realized that no one can be relied on. Only by becoming your own supporter can you live with dignity!"
Pei Jingping was momentarily stunned as he watched Lin Yi speak calmly and eloquently. He wondered, "Is this something an illiterate village girl could say?" "Just the thought of food and clothing can simultaneously increase someone's knowledge and experience?"
This made Pei Jingping feel tempted. He walked into the children's room, took out a passbook and placed it in front of Lin Yi. He said seriously, "This contains all my savings, a total of 4,200 yuan. From now on, I will give it all to you for safekeeping!"
When Lin Yi heard the number 4,200, she couldn't believe her ears. Her eyes widened in shock. How could Pei Jingping have so much savings?
