The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family
Chapter 158 Kick Them All Out (3)_1

Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Kick Them All Out (3)_1

A circle of people gathered outside, buzzing with discussion, saying that Pei Zongli had returned, brought home a wife who was once a young lady and had borne him two sons; as a result, Madam Fang and her daughters were left without a way out.

Grandma Zhang laughed coldly, "You little wretches! Let’s see how you strut now! Let’s see how you have the face to live!"

Pei Houli, upon hearing the news, was greatly shocked and hurried home. Seeing that it was indeed Pei Zongli, he felt a turmoil inside his heart like churning waves.

"Big brother!" Pei Zongli greeted him with a bow.

"Is it really... Er Lang?!" Pei Houli grasped his hand, taking a while to come to his senses.

After meeting Qian Wanxiu and the sons Pei Wenchen and Pei Wenbo, Pei Houli immediately thought of Lady Fang, "Er Lang has now married Ms. Qian, so what about Fang Rong..."

Seeing his concern for Lady Fang, Pei Zongli’s eyes flickered, and he sighed heavily, "I didn’t expect that she..."

Lady Zhu snorted, "That lowly wench is disgraceful and unfilial, just divorce her and throw them out!"

She spoke bluntly, but Pei Houli said nothing, furrowing his brows and giving a sidelong glance at Qian Wanxiu and her daughters. Fang Rong had been with him for many years, and San Ya, Si Ya, and San Lang were his children after all. If Er Lang was not going to keep them, then...

Pei Houli looked at Old Pei, "Father! We need to come to a decision regarding the matter of Fang Rong and her daughters, it needs to be resolved!"

Lady Chen, hearing this, felt her eyelids twitch and her face suddenly changed. No one understood Pei Houli’s thoughts better than she did. Daring to speak of Fang Rong by name, his words implied—could it be that he still wanted to take back that cheap and tawdry Fang Rong?

Lady Zhu’s face darkened, looking at Pei Houli with blame, "We were about to have a good meal, why mention those filthy things! You’ve spoiled the mood!"

Regardles of whether the mood was spoiled, this was a matter of urgency and could not be delayed. Pei Houli glanced at Old Pei and then at Pei Zongli; this matter would have to be decided by Father and Er Lang.

"Let’s eat first," Old Pei said, casting a deep look at his eldest son, his previously light and happy heart suddenly clouded over.

On the table were eggs, meat, roasted chicken, pressed beef, and an assortment of vegetables like cabbage and spinach—a feast.

Pei Wenbo was so excited he couldn’t contain himself, grabbing this piece of meat and then that chicken leg, stuffing his mouth full before he’d even swallowed what was there.

Pei Wenchen furrowed his brow but said nothing.

Pei Wenbo, turning up his nose and mocking, couldn’t help but say, "You’re acting like you haven’t eaten meat in eight hundred years!"

Lady Chen, Pei Houli, and the others eating their meal suddenly stiffened.

Qian Wanxiu put down her chopsticks, her face stern, "How have I taught you? You can’t even talk properly, this is your elder cousin! Go stand outside and reflect on your actions!"

Pei Wenbo’s eyes instantly brimmed with tears of grievance, "I was just commenting on how he eats."

Seeing him cry, Lady Zhu hurriedly embraced him comfortingly, "Alright! Alright! He’s just a child and doesn’t understand these things!" She then turned to Pei Wenbo, "Eat slowly, neither Wenchen nor Wenbo are competing with you!" The two of them always ate with decorum, while Er Lang’s ravenous eating was indeed unsightly!

Seeing his beloved grandmother suddenly protect others and scold him instead, Pei Wenbo choked on his food, with half a chicken leg stuck in his mouth, started to cry out loud, all the while reluctant to let the uneaten meat fall from his mouth as he took a few more chews between sobs.

Pei Zongli consoled Pei Wenbo with a few words, then turned to his younger son with a stern voice, "Go reflect by the wall!"

Pei Wenbo, tears threatening to spill, glanced at his brother for reassurance, shook off Lady Zhu, and went outside to reflect.

Pei Wenbo continued to sob loudly, his mouth gaping to reveal the chewed meat, crying while still unwilling to let any of the savored meat fall out, chewing it a few more times.

Pei Wenchen, with a frown, lowered his head, refusing to look, a flicker of disgust crossing his eyes.
