The woman was quick to admit her mistake, but Pei Baoshan did not soften just because she admitted it.
"How did you find this place?"
When Pei Baoshan put on a stern face, he had quite an imposing aura. When he asked this, the woman didn’t dare to hide anything and hastily explained how they found the place.
"We first went back to our old home and heard from people that you had long since moved to the county town. We then found the county town and the restaurant your family used to run. They told me you had moved to beishi, so we came to beishi."
"Second brother, you don’t know how much suffering and hardship we went through to finally find you."
"Those are all tears when you talk about it!"
"You’re eating now? What a coincidence, we haven’t eaten yet either. Why don’t we sit down and eat together, and talk after the meal."
What she said was not at all polite, and the way she spoke made it seem like she was the owner of the house.
Once they were let into the house, it was only natural to let them have breakfast.
But there was no rush to eat; after all, they should freshen up first.
Wang Cuilan led them out of the living room towards the bathroom.
The woman initially didn’t want to go, but after Pei Baoshan gave her a glare, she reluctantly followed out.
As they walked out, Jiang Ran could still hear the woman muttering, saying something about it not being a problem eating without washing up, as they didn’t mind themselves, so why wash.
As a doctor, hearing such words made Jiang Ran feel weary.
After watching them head to the bathroom, Jiang Ran and Pei Huai quickly walked over to the dining table and sat down.
Pei Yang couldn’t hold back any longer and directly spoke up.
"Dad, who were they just now?"
Although hearing the woman constantly calling second brother, second brother’s wife, he roughly knew her identity, but Pei Yang still wanted to ask clearly.
Pei Baoshan sighed and finally explained.
"That was my sister-in-law just now, and the one standing behind is my elder brother."
"Twenty years ago, times were tough, we didn’t have enough to eat. They found another way and left. At that time, your grandparents were still alive, and life was really hard. They took the family’s money and food tickets and just ran off."
"When your grandparents passed, they were still thinking about them, saying they had raised a thankless son."
"I thought once they left, they would never return in this lifetime. I never expected them to come back!"
Not only did they return, but they also traveled through various places to ultimately find their residence in beishi.
After listening to Pei Baoshan’s recount, Jiang Ran felt a bit wistful.
Twenty years ago, those were different times, although not personally experienced, glimpses of it could be seen from the memories of the original owner.
In such times, the whole family tightened their belts to live.
And those two could run off with the family’s money and food tickets, no need to ask to know they had ruthless hearts.
As for why they returned now?
Just by looking at their clothes and demeanor, it was clear they hadn’t been living well for years.
The reason they’ve returned now is probably because they learned about the current circumstances.
Are they back to latch onto a big leg?
