The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family
Chapter 143 Burst You (19)_1

Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Burst You (19)_1

The sister-in-law of the Chen family had an excessive remark on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed it back down. Speaking from her conscience, it was Si Ya who had gone too far, but they had to stand by her side.

The Chen family carried Lady Chen back home, and all had witnessed Pei Qin’s fierce and vicious nature. Not only were the people from Old Pei’s House resentful towards Lady Chen for causing this trouble, but even the members of the Chen family reproached her for making their family lose face, humiliated by a young girl.

Lady Chen was in a daze, lacking the energy to argue or justify herself.

Lady Zhu, grinding her teeth, took out a string of coins and grabbed two old hens from their home to give back to Grandma Chen.

Grandma Chen still looked dissatisfied, and if it had not been for Lady Zhu scolding Lady Chen for the trouble she caused, she would have demanded another chicken.

After the Chen family had left, the issue of the outside rumors had not yet been resolved.

In the midst of Old Pei’s House’s gloomy atmosphere, Mother Peiqin and the others were having their meal.

The leftover meat had a bit of an off taste, so Lady Fang chopped up two winter bamboo shoots, smashed some ginger and garlic, and stir-fried a basin full.

Seeing Pei Qin heartily eating, while she herself was so angry and upset that she had no appetite, Lady Fang couldn’t help but feel her own hunger grow.

"Laughing at others’ misery while we live happily, that is what I call life!" Pei Qin never worried about such things. What had happened was in the past, and what could be solved would be solved; there was no need to worry about the things that had been resolved. As for the things that hadn’t happened yet, who knew if they would happen at all? She would deal with them if and when they occurred!

"Right! Mom, eat up! If we stay strong, they can’t bully us!" San Ya, with her little face taut with anger, piled a large chopstick full of meat onto Lady Fang’s plate.

Lady Fang took a deep breath, "I’ll listen to you! We’ll live our good lives! Let’s eat!"

Only then did Pei Wendong dare to relax and sped up his eating.

Si Ya had been silent the whole time, sneaking glances at Pei Qin. Considering her defiance against the people from the old residence and the Chen family, which left them speechless, she felt that her older sister had indeed changed. The previously silent Pei Qin had transformed since her fall. Could it be that, from now on, they no longer needed to fear the people from the old yard?

The next day when they went out to set up their stall, the Old Pei’s House had called for a doctor to prescribe medicine for Lady Chen, who had developed a fever in the middle of the night and had been struggling with it for quite some time. Additionally, the villagers tried to prevent their spreading of rumors, claiming any talk to be a misunderstanding whenever they overheard discussions. Even if it was like trying to plug one’s ears while stealing a bell, they had to cover their ears—at least it could do a little to rectify the situation. Those outsiders who were unaware of the circumstances might indeed believe them!

As for Mother Peiqin and the others, they didn’t say a word, mentally prepared and focused solely on their stall to make money.

When the market day came again, Grandma Sun came out to help. Once the busiest time had passed, Pei Qin was freed up to deliver goods to the county city with Sun Tiezhu and the Zou Xing brothers.

With two large carts pulled behind, Pei Qin squeezed onto the shaft of one of them, hurrying along the road to the county city.

Although the market was winding down, there were still plenty of onlookers, all of whom watched in wonder.

Pei Houli, who was selling tubs and wooden buckets at a street stall, was shocked and stared with wide eyes as he saw the group pull two large carts of goods away. They were transporting so much all at once—where were they going to sell it? Even if they had taken everything to the county in one go, it was impossible to sell it all at once, right? And how much money would that amount of goods sell for? Pei Houli’s eyes burned with heat.

What he couldn’t figure out, Pei Wenli had already understood.

While dining out with new classmates, he saw Pei Qin, Sun Tiezhu, and the Zou Xing brothers stop to unload their carts at the Wang Family Grocery Store.

The Shopkeeper checked the hand-pulled carts and hand-pushed carts, and upon hearing they were ordered by Landlord Chang’s house, his eyes flickered. He didn’t mention competing for business but instead smiled and settled the payment for the sliding boards with silver.
