Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Maternal Family Guests(1)_1

Zhang Shiqian saw Pei Qin, his eyes flashing viciously, brimming with intense malice.

The two teenagers behind him, around fourteen or fifteen, glanced at Pei Qin and then at Zhang Shiqian’s face, immediately guessing that there was a feud between him and Pei Qin.

Pei Qin walked over with a smile, sizing him up and saying, "So you’re blocking the road, planning a revenge? It seems that falling into the river once wasn’t enough for you; you’ve got even more water in your brain now."

"You..." Zhang Shiqian glared at her furiously and snorted, "How dare you kick me into the river, I will never let you off!"

"Are we fighting one-on-one, or are you all jumping in?" Pei Qin asked lazily, her eyebrows raised in challenge to the two behind him.

The two taunted, suddenly sarcastic, "We’re not the sort to strike a girl!"

"Then make it quick!" Pei Qin said, somewhat impatiently and listlessly, looking as if she couldn’t be bothered with a fight, unable to muster any enthusiasm.

Originally, the threat of a fight was just to intimidate her, after all, if they beat her up on the street, things would get complicated. Especially since Pei Wenli, her cousin, was an unmarried woman; if something actually happened to her, and she put the blame on them, it’d be a significant loss!

Zhang Shiqian prided himself as a scholar; he wasn’t going to hit Pei Qin in broad daylight and give her the chance to cry out assault, especially since he was engaged to be married!

But Pei Qin couldn’t be bothered to waste further words with them, "Cowards!" she said, passing by them with her belongings.

"Pei Daya! I will not let this go! Don’t think we’re afraid to hit you! We’re gentlemen, that’s why we don’t lay a hand on you! There are plenty of ways to deal with you!" Zhang Shiquan threatened venomously.

Pei Qin turned to look at him, "I only know one method: to beat you until you don’t dare to make another peep. If you don’t believe me, you can try it!" With a casual flick of her hand, she walked away.

Zhang Shiqian’s face darkened, truly wishing he could beat her, but she was someone who couldn’t even marry a widower!

Pei Qin, carrying her things, returned home at a leisurely pace and placed the items on the small table, "Pear and sugar cakes from Grandma Wang."

Grandma Wang had only met Si Ya and Pei Wendong; she had given enough for the three siblings, two each. It turned out to be just enough for them, with one extra.

Si Ya looked at the old paper wrapping, which didn’t seem like something bought, and pursed her lips. Now that Wang Tiezhu’s family had earned money, of course, they would share some benefits, and it wouldn’t take much money to buy some.

The sugar cakes contained plenty of sugar, which Pei Qin didn’t really like, so she broke off the part she had bitten and threw the rest back.

Lady Fang said Pei Qin was too reluctant to eat them, saving them for her younger siblings.

Si Ya snorted silently to herself, thinking if Pei Qin had liked them, she would have eaten them all on the way home! The fact that she wasn’t eating now might mean she had already had her fill on the road! But she didn’t dare say it out loud.

Lady Fang had finished making San Ya’s cotton-padded jacket and pants, and called her to try them on.

San Ya had picked a light pink color, and with her tall stature, she looked fresh and tender in it, warm and lovely. She caressed the hem of her jacket, reluctant to take it off or wear it too soon, "I’ll wear it during the New Year!"

Lady Fang watched her with a smile and then picked up a cut piece of cloth, saying warmly, "This one will be for Si Ya."

Si Ya liked red, but Lady Fang thought bright red was too glaring, so she had swapped it for a light red one and asked Lady Fang to embroider flowers onto the collar and cuffs for her.

Outside, the winter rain began to fall, bitterly cold and bone-chilling.

Pei Qin, holding a twig, taught Pei Wendong how to read on the ground. She could recite part of the "Three-Character Classic" but not beyond that, which she then taught to him. She also knew only a little of "The Analects of Confucius", which she passed on to him bit by bit.

Lady Fang could also read, but Old Scholar Fang hadn’t taught her much, and she had long forgotten the "Thousand Character Classic" and the "Three-Character Classic". Seeing Pei Qin teaching in bits and pieces, she believed that Pei Qin had learned it by listening to Pei Wenli study.

The rain continued non-stop for two days, but fortunately, their house had been repaired beforehand, or else it would have leaked.

The meat they had bought was not yet finished, and there was still a pot of bone soup left. Lady Fang chopped up the radish finely and mixed it with dough, boiling it in the bone soup to make radish noodle soup for them to eat.
