The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

Chapter 167: Chapter 167 You Will Lose Completely (3)_1

Old Pei turned his head to look at her in a daze, his whole body trembling.

Should they make a scene at the Government Office, Pei Qin, although having the means to win, it would not be as good as the outcome of "enduring humiliation and bearing burdens." Lady Fang had died, and she could no longer neglect to plan for the future of the Little Radishes.

The proud and carefree only daughter suddenly found herself with several orphaned younger siblings, pressing down firmly and truly upon her shoulders.

Great snowflakes fell unexpectedly, the rustling snowflakes quickly covering her whole body, Lady Fang’s body and head all covered with white snow.

Pei Qin carried Lady Fang on her back to the coffin shop in town.

The shop owner was startled to see several of them coming to buy a coffin, carrying a dead body in the middle of heavy snow, but he recognized them.

Pei Qin spoke up, "Shop owner! Please sell me a coffin and shroud for my mother’s encoffinment."

"...Alright! Just wait a moment." The shop owner immediately picked an affordable coffin and fetched a set of shrouds. He offered them a place to use, "Do you need help finding a Hearse?" Noticing that the few children were able to carry Lady Fang’s body, but would not be able to take away the coffin.

"Thank you, shop owner!" Pei Qin gave the shop owner a bow of thanks.

The coffin shop owner sighed and had his workers go out to find a Hearse to transport the coffin.

Grandma Sun and Sun Tiezhu were unaware of the Pei family’s mishap, still waiting for Lady Fang and her daughters to set up their stall. Seeing the snowfall, they thought they would not come and were preparing to pull the cart back home.

The worker who found the Hearse saw them and said, "You’re still waiting here! They definitely won’t be setting up a stall today!"

"It’s impossible with the snowfall!" Grandma Sun replied, but felt it was a bit strange, as they had not expected heavy snow and by this time they should have already arrived.

"Well, Lady Fang is dead! Her eldest daughter carried her to the coffin shop, just bought a coffin for the encoffinment. The boss asked to help them find a Hearse!" said the worker, shaking his head, and urged the Hearse to hurry up.

Grandma Sun and Sun Tiezhu’s faces changed dramatically as they widened their eyes in shock. They couldn’t believe that Lady Fang had died just overnight!?

They greeted the nearby vendor to watch their cart, and the two hurried to the coffin shop.

Pei Qin had already changed Lady Fang into her burial clothes and placed her into the coffin.

"Xiao Pei! Your mother... your mother..." Grandma Sun approached slowly.

"Pei Zongli didn’t die, he married a rich young lady, had two sons, and returned. My mother refused the Pei family’s demands, left a ’blood letter’, exposed the scandals of Jian Xiao, and smashed herself to death at the gates of Old Pei’s House." Pei Qin explained calmly.

Grandma Sun and Sun Tiezhu gasped.

"Why be so foolish! When a person dies, they lose everything! What will happen to you poor orphans?!" Grandma Sun stamped her foot, lowering her head to wipe away tears.

Pei Qin didn’t say a word.

Upon hearing her words, Grandma Sun asked again, "What ’blood letter’? What scandals of Jian Xiao?!" Since Lady Fang had died, they would certainly have to leave the Pei household, a few children born of Jian Xiao, how would they live in the future!? If there were scandals with Jian Xiao... that would be another matter!

"It was snatched away by people from Old Pei’s House." Pei Qin looked down.

Grandma Sun stamped her foot again, calling Lady Fang too foolish, crying for the misfortune of Pei Qin and her siblings. It was pitiful; Pei Qin was about to be married, and now, with their mother dead, she also had to take care of her younger siblings, raise them up!

Nevertheless, Lady Fang eventually had to be encoffined and buried.

Sun Tiezhu went to find Zou Xing, and also requested several others to help.

Zou Xing, who had been negotiating at home, wanting to marry Pei Qin, came rushing over, shocked and worried upon hearing of Lady Fang’s death.

Seeing Pei Qin not crying, not grieving, expressionless, and frighteningly calm, his heart ached even more for her.
