Ever since the news came back that Pei Xinghuai had passed the first prize, the faces of the Li family and his wife had not looked good.
"The Pei family is better off."
"What good thing did the Pei family do in their last life to be able to pick up a top scholar?" Liu Hongmei muttered in a low voice, unable to hide the jealousy in her tone.
Li Dali also regretted it: "I should have known that I shouldn't have betrayed the person completely. At least I let him keep the surname Li. No matter what, we all have to take advantage of it."
At first, the Pei family said that they could not have anything to do with them in the future, and they needed more money, so Pei Xinghuai changed his surname and transferred the household, so he no longer belonged to the Li family, just like an adoptive family.
If one of these two things is not done properly, both of them can have some relationship with Pei Xinghuai and get some light.
However, the Pei family is very cunning and does everything right. I don't know who has a big mouth and told the story of Pei Xinghuai's stay in the Li family.
Now don't talk about them looking for trouble with Pei Xinghuai. It would be good if the other party doesn't come back to cause trouble for them.
Besides, they didn't dare to look for trouble at all. There was no reason to go. The county magistrate had even warned him, and he knew in his heart that Pei Xinghuai was not their son. If things really got serious, they would be in trouble even more when this matter was exposed. Not to mention this, what if their own son is implicated?
"I wonder how the second child is doing." Liu Hongmei said, her eyes showing some hope, "It would be great if I could see the second child."
"Dali, how about we find a way to see the second son, or take a peek secretly. After all, he is our son, we can't not see him just for the sake of his wealth, right?"
Because of the current prosperity of the Pei family, they can't get a little bit of it, and the Li family is becoming more and more unwilling to accept it. Even Li Dali, who didn't want to cause any trouble to their second son, couldn't help but dream of a life of glory and wealth.
"Look at the Pei family now, how good it is."
Li Dali banged his pipe, could he not know?
"If we recognize our relatives secretly, maybe the second child will be filial and filial to us." Liu Hongmei said aggressively, "The second child is living a wealthy life now, but he is still our son, don't you think?"
"The boy only reported that he was admitted to the top of the exam, which means he has never met that family. Besides, even if he met, would he really be able to recognize him? As long as we don't tell anyone about this secret, who can know it? So he secretly dated the second child. It doesn't matter if we recognize each other." At this point, Liu Hongmei lowered her voice, "Maybe our family can rely on the second child. If we don't recognize the second child on the surface, it's better to have the second child arrange to work in a wealthy family's house. It's better here. The rich families must have shops and manors, and we can help the second brother take care of these."
Li Dali was tempted and thought Liu Hongmei was right.
They don't admit it openly, but they just know it in their heart.
"The capital is so big, how can we find people?" Li Dali said.
Liu Hongmei understood that she had persuaded him: "I remember the carriage sign of that family clearly, and I even drew it according to the pattern. Have you forgotten? That lady was called Madam Hou. Didn't the range shrink again? ?”
"Okay, let's go and give it a try." Li Dali also lowered his voice, "But we have to go quietly. Let's just say we are going to the capital to join our relatives."
When Pei Xinghuai and Pei Wenjue came back, Li Dali had already gone to the capital. They didn't have much money, so they had to go alone.
