The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Burst You (21)_1

After playing for most of the day, Wang Ting took them back to the Wang family’s home to eat noodles with wheat gluten.

Pei Qin didn’t bother with them, as she was extremely tired, scooping herself a big bowl of noodles and pouring over it spicy beef broth, topped with a layer of meat, making sure to satiate her own hunger first.

Just after finishing their meal, several high-spirited Little Radishes gathered around Pei Qin, urging her to continue teaching since Wang Ting had mentioned that Pei Qin only came around every few days.

People on the streets and roads saw Pei Qin, the elder, skating on a skateboard, followed by a few young masters, and behind them, a group of servants and followers, rushing towards the city’s north.

"So the young master of the Wang family learned to skateboard from her."

Pei Wenli didn’t hear his classmate’s words but, seeing Pei Qin confidentsly striding on the skateboard and leading the young masters, he was no longer shocked. It was she who had made the skateboard, and now she had even gotten close to the young master of the Wang family!? Pei Wenli felt that things had become serious, as it wasn’t about how much money could be divided. Even if they split half, it would be best if his father could land a job that put him in contact with either the Wang family or Landlord Chang’s house.

Hence, when Pei Qin walked out of the Wang family’s home carrying several boxes, Pei Wenli also took the opportunity to hitch a ride back to the village.

"Even though there’s no monetary reward, there are still some perks!" Pei Qin placed several boxes of pastries on the small table, letting San Ya and the others eat them.

Mung bean cake, kidney bean roll, date paste cake, and pea yellow.

When Pei Wenli returned home, he had just learned about Lady Chen stealing Pei Qin’s undergarments.

And upon hearing that Pei Qin had made connections with the young master of the Wang family, and had handcart after handcart delivered to Landlord Chang’s store, Old Pei and Pei Houli were left speechless for a while.

Lady Zhu was wiping away tears and cursing Pei Qin for being cold-hearted and ungrateful, "...we raised them, and they don’t know how to repay us, but turn around and bite us instead!"

"With such things happening, it’s our family’s reputation that’s ruined, my reputation that’s ruined!" Wenli was somewhat frantic, mentioning how the villagers were no longer as warm to him as before since his return.

Lady Chen also thought of her eldest son blaming her and hung her head in silence, with eyes reddened. She only regretted that she had been a step too late and hadn’t succeeded! Letting that detestable girl get away!

Kong’s saw that Wenli was seriously upset and sighed softly, "Let’s take something over and have a talk! Let’s say that the husband wasn’t aware before, and only after returning home did he realize and feel ashamed. A mother is a senior, and a son doesn’t speak of the mother’s mistakes, so we can only go over and apologize. See if we can deliver a message to the Wang family."

It seems this was the only course of action.

Wenli hadn’t brought back anything worth giving, and there was nothing suitable for gifting in the house.

"We still have half a box of the orange cakes you brought back the other day!" Lady Zhu said.

Kong’s looked at Wenli but did not speak, considering that the second branch had already made business connections with both the Wang family and Landlord Chang’s house, and were even running a noodle stall daily with some income; they probably wouldn’t care for orange cake.

Wenli outright refused, "Da Ya came out from the Wang family’s place with several boxes of pastries!" With the Wang family’s pastries, gem-like in comparison, a half box of orange cake would be just embarrassing to present.

Lady Zhu pursed her lips and said nothing.

While Wenli still had some money in hand, it was too late now to go out and buy anything, so he asked Lady Zhu to get a bag of eggs.

The household’s eggs had been sold not too long ago, and after saving up for about ten days, they had only managed to gather about thirty. Lady Zhu was extremely reluctant to bring them out.

Wenli took the eggs from her and, together with Kong’s, stepped out toward the small courtyard.

Seeing it was them, Pei Qin raised an eyebrow and asked Pei Wendong to open the door.

Si Ya quickly started to gather the pastries on the table.

Pei Qin glared at her, "We neither stole nor snatched these; what are you tidying up for?"

"If they see them when they come in, wouldn’t we have to offer them some?" Si Ya whispered discontentedly.
