Chapter 278: Chapter 278: So Many People Like Me (6)_1

Qian Wanxiu’s face instantly turned a shade of green.

"Qinqin! After all, I’m still your biological father!" Pei Zongli said, frowning.

"Mmm! Some things can’t be changed!" Pei Qin nodded in agreement, and seeing that Pei Lizheng’s family had also returned, she went over to greet them.

Pei Qian said bitterly as she left, "The things you’ve done can never be changed!" She would hate them for her whole life!

Lady Zhu’s face turned an iron hue, about to scold, but Old Pei uttered a low shout, stopping her.

Looking at Pei Qin, who seemed indifferent and was smiling and greeting Pei Lizheng, Pei Lizheng had now fully turned his support to their side. Old Pei exhaled, pursed his lips, put his hands behind his back, and walked home.

Pei Lizheng was already aware of the sweet potato planting matter, and when he delivered rice noodles, Pei Qin had also given him a few sweet potatoes to taste. If Pei Qin could grow sweet potatoes and receive an award from the Government Office, even if she was a girl, with the Fang family standing behind her, and this year’s newly appointed County Magistrate being in office for at least three years, possibly six if he’s reappointed, the Old Pei’s House would not be able to triumph over Pei Qin and the Fang family within these few years.

After weighing the pros and cons, Pei Lizheng decided to side with Pei Qin. He also planned to use these years to improve his family’s living conditions and support his grandson to study! If the Old Pei’s House could produce a scholar, so could his family possibly produce an official!

Therefore, when speaking with Pei Qin again, Pei Lizheng became much warmer and more sincere.

After greeting each other, Pei Qin led the three of them back to town.

Zhang Dayun met them on the way, and seeing that Pei Qin didn’t even glance at him, walked past directly, he clenched his fist.

Pei Yuan and Pei Qian, including Pei Wendong, all watched Pei Qin’s expressions.

On the road, they encountered many people who were going to worship their ancestors. Pei Qin paid no attention to Zhang Dayun and had long forgotten about him.

Once home, after they had lunch, Fang Hui, accompanied by Feng Chun, came over with offerings, "We offered sacrifices to our ancestors in the morning, and in the afternoon, I thought of coming to offer incense for your mother and burn some paper money!"

Pei Qin thanked them and took them to the cemetery on the hill.

All the way, Fang Hui couldn’t help feeling melancholic, saying that it didn’t usually feel like much, but on such festivals, thinking of Sister Fang would bring an unbearable sadness, and she felt sorry for her nieces and nephew.

Pei Yuan was moved by her words.

When they reached the hill, Fang Hui’s face became stiff and uncomfortable.

Lady Yu and Fang Liuming were in front of Sister Fang’s grave, burning paper money.

"You’re here too, second sister!" Lady Yu got up to greet her.

Fang Liuming bowed in greeting, called over a person, and then stood to the side.

Fang Hui’s face eased after a moment, and said sorrowfully, "Mmm! Came to offer incense for big sister and send some paper money! Big sister never had good days while alive; she certainly shouldn’t suffer below as well!"

Lady Yu finished burning the last bit of paper money and made space for her.

Fang Hui, with a belly full of words, was left speechless after burning the paper.

Pei Qin told Lady Yu to go home.

"No need to come over! I just came to burn some paper money, and then I’ll take the opportunity to go back home!" Seeing that Sister Peiqin and her brothers were all dressed in plain-colored clothes and had grown quite a bit taller, Lady Yu felt very gratified.

Pei Qin nodded.

Lady Yu had come to burn paper money without notifying them and intended to return home straight after, which made it awkward for Fang Hui to follow Pei Qin back to town, so she held back her anger and told Pei Qin and her brothers to seek their help if needed, emphasizing that they were all family, before parting ways on the road.

Pei Qian curled her lip and withdrew her gaze, thinking it was all an act to come and burn paper for their mother, wondering what their real intentions were!

Fang Hui was nearly furious, "As if only Lady Yu knows how to curry favor! As if only she and big sister were good sisters, so close!"
