Chapter 21
Fortunately, Pei Zheng possessed brute strength, so it was not easy to deal with him.

Not long after the fight took place, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly poured in outside and surrounded the boys again.

Cui Shun'er's eyes lit up, although she didn't know who reported to the officials, but now that they have the support of the officials, they will not act rashly again.

"What are you doing!" The official yelled angrily, scaring all the servants into losing their arrogance.

As the saying goes, if the officials don't fight the people, who will go against the government?

Immediately, the staff put on a flattering smile and walked to the official, laughing: "It's nothing serious, I just came to visit my workers, and I'll be leaving soon."

"It's really that simple?" The official was so imposing that the prisoner who could ask a single sentence was weak, let alone an ordinary person like Yuanwai.

Pei Xiaojiang, who was standing behind the official, threw herself into Cui Shun'er's arms the moment she saw Cui Shun'er, and the appearance of sweating profusely made people feel distressed.

Cui Shun'er took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead, the grandparent and grandson looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere became warmer.

"I don't care what you are here for, but if you dare to cause trouble under my nose, you have to see if you have the ability!" The officer's words completely discouraged the staff, so they had to leave in a hurry with the boys no reply.

After a farce ended, brothers Pei Zheng and Pei Quan sent the officials out, while Cui Shun'er sat on a chair quite tiredly.

The door of the room was opened, and Ma Qiufen was the first to run out, hugged Pei Zheng, and cried, "It's good that you are okay as the head of the family. If you have something to do, how can we live with our three mothers? It's better to go with you."

"Shut up! I'm not dead yet." Pei Zheng, who returned from seeing off the official, had a gloomy expression on his face. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Ma Qiufen was too noisy and hypocritical.

Ma Qiufen immediately shut up, and obediently took his sons back to the room.

When the crowd dispersed, Cui Shun'er suddenly called out to Pei Xiaocha: "Leave Xiaocha first, Grandma has something to say to you."

Pei Xiaocha glanced at He Hua, and then ran towards Cui Shun'er. She could feel Cui Shun'er's love and care for them, and she would definitely not harm her.

After everyone had dispersed, Cui Shun'er asked her softly: "Xiaocha, tell grandma honestly, did you put something in that bowl of tea?"

Pei Xiaocha stared at Cui Shuner's questioning eyes and shook her head in confusion, she didn't know anything at all.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's right or not. But, Xiaocha must not tell outsiders about this matter? No one can tell it except Grandma, you know?"

"Can't even my mother and sister tell me?"

For Pei Xiaocha, she trusts He Hua and her sister the most, and now there is another Cui Shun'er.

"Well, it's better not to tell your mother yet." Cui Shun'er thought to herself, since she hasn't figured it out yet, it's useless to tell He Hua, so it's better to hide it first.

Although Pei Xiaocha didn't understand what Cui Shun'er meant, she nodded obediently.

The miserable day was finally over. Early the next morning, someone knocked on Cui Shun'er's door, and she had no choice but to get out of bed and open the door.

Standing outside the door was Pei Quan, the moment he saw Cui Shun'er, he turned his palm up: "Mother, give me some money, I'm going back to my private school."

"Okay." Cui Shun'er agreed bluntly, turned around and went back to get the money.

Pei Quan stood at the door waiting expectantly, wondering how much Cui Shun'er would give him this time.

Just as she was thinking about it, Cui Shun'er came out with a kit, and she handed it to Pei Quan's hand and patiently instructed: "Study hard for my mother, you know? Our Pei family can rely on you and the boss to support us."

"Understood, thank you mother." Pei Quan squeezed the amount in the kit, immediately beamed with joy, and happily went out to go to private school.

It just so happened that Ma Qiufen, who got up early, saw this scene. The money was much more than usual, and it seemed that Cui Shun'er had given more eccentrically.

Sitting at the dinner table to eat, Ma Qiufen began to feel troubled, and said jealously: "Speaking of which, our wheat and Xiaojiu are almost at the age of studying, and I don't know if they can read it."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you not let them study?" Pei Zheng said dissatisfiedly. He found Ma Qiufen more and more displeased.

"As the head of the family, you can't earn a few copper coins now, and the slave family knows it well, not to mention that there are still people who are partial. Pity us Mai and Xiaojiu. After all, they are also the eldest son and grandson of the Pei family."

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Ma Qiufen's words are implicating Cui Shun'er. After all, all the money in this family is entrusted to her for safekeeping.

Cui Shun'er, who was in the right position, was not in a hurry, and stuffed two mouthfuls of vegetables into his mouth: "As long as they are the descendants of our Pei family, they can go to private schools, and it's my mother who doesn't do business all day long. Wash the dishes when you have time."

Ma Qiufen wanted to argue about something, but was stopped by Pei Zheng's eyes. Remembering that Pei Zheng hadn't talked to her all day, she hesitated for a moment before resting her mind.

After breakfast, Pei Zheng went up the mountain with his hunting tools, leaving Ma Qiufen and He Hua with their children.

Although Cui Shun'er said that she just had a crush on Ma Qiufen in the morning, she knew that what she said was serious, and the children in this family were all at the age of going to school.

Thinking of her previous life, in order to save the expenses of her private school, Cui Shun'er left Pei Xiaojiang and Pei Xiaocha at home, not even giving them the chance to study.

"It seems that it's time to think of other ways." Cui Shun'er said, then got up and went to the backyard to look at the vegetable field. Those toothbrush grasses are good things and they need to be taken care of.

Pei Zheng, who had been strolling on the mountain for a day, walked home depressed. The mountain was strange today, and he didn't meet a single animal. It was not as good as the last time he went out with Cui Shun'er.

Thinking of the children who were waiting to be fed, Pei Zheng punched the wall in frustration.

"Brother, what happened?" He Hua happened to be walking in the yard with Qi Xing in his arms, seeing all the scene just now.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired." How could the honest and honest Pei Zheng show a distressed side in front of He Hua, and quickly made an excuse.

He Hua was already careful, but just looking at Pei Zhengkong's empty hands, she guessed about his purpose of going up the mountain today, and she stepped forward to comfort him softly: "It's okay, brother, hunting is all about luck, didn't you And I brought back a wild boar with my mother-in-law, enough for us to eat for a long time."

"But after all, the children are suffering. If I hadn't been unable to bear it, my mother wouldn't have clashed with the staff because of me." At least there is still a job to do now, so Pei Zheng naturally wouldn't say the second half of the sentence, so as not to cause trouble Cui Shun'er was not happy.

He Hua understood Pei Zheng's thoughts and could only comfort him softly.

At this time, Qixing in her arms suddenly burst into tears, which made He Hua panic.
