Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Should Do More Immoral Things (6)_1

"If you truly didn’t know about the exploitation before, you can only be described as cold and selfish, not to mention foolish. You shouldn’t even bother trying for officialdom. Even if someone fond of flowery prose passes you in the preliminary exam, there are still the county and metropolitan exams. If you were aware before and yet you come now to speak such words, it means you’re nothing but a hypocrite and deceitful." It’s not that Pei Qin viewed people through tinted glasses; she simply despised Pei Wenli.

Pei Wenli’s face turned an ugly shade of greenish-black, "Pei Qin, my sister..."

Pei Qin flexed her hands as her knuckles cracked, "I’m pretty agitated right now. If I slap you a few times like this, I wonder if you’ll even be able to leave the ring!?"

Pei Wenli’s face paled in horror; he had heard about her martial arts skills, how she had beaten up young Master Chang’s guards until their noses were blue and their faces swollen. Seeing that Pei Qin wasn’t bluffing, he hastily retreated several steps, not forgetting to say, "I have always remembered my responsibility to my younger brothers and sisters! If you don’t believe me, Pei Qin, my sister, you will see by my future actions!" With that, he quickly exited.

"Damnit! Lucky you can run fast!" Pei Qin cursed out loud.

The moment Pei Wenli heard her, he began to run in a panic.

Zhang Shiqian bumped into him on the street and asked in surprise, "Wenli, brother! What’s got you running like this?"

Pei Wenli, feeling a bit embarrassed, caught his breath and said, "My wife has given birth, I came to spread the good news. Plus, I almost missed the event; there wasn’t much time!"

Zhang Shiqian exclaimed happily, "So you’re a father now! Congratulations, truly! Is it a boy or a girl?"

"A girl! But she’s pretty, fair, and delicate," Pei Wenli said with a smile.

"A girl is good too. After a daughter comes a son!" Having said that, Zhang Shiqian then asked, "Are you going to stay in town long? Let’s have a meal together and celebrate in advance!"

Pei Wenli hesitated before politely declining, "After the spring exam, let’s get the others together and have a proper gathering!"

"Great!" Zhang Shiqian wasn’t participating in the imperial examination this year. He was still studying at the town’s school, where the teacher had told him to work hard and study for a couple more years.

When Pei Wenli returned to the Kong’s mother family, he didn’t stay long before taking Kong’s parents and sisters-in-law to Old Pei’s House to visit Kong.

Because Kong had given birth to a girl instead of a boy, she was subjected to neglect and was feeling quite upset. When she saw her family, tears welled up in her eyes.

Grandma Kong also felt a bit guilty, but it’s not like every family can produce a boy with one try! Her daughter and son-in-law were young, and it’s not like they couldn’t have more children. Before Pei Loaer’s return, Old Pei’s House had always been very respectful and courteous towards them. Now that Pei Loaer had come back, it felt like they were being looked down upon.

Fortunately, Pei Wenli still held Kong family in high esteem and treated Kong well. He was genuinely happy even with a daughter, which left Lady Chen with nothing to criticize. It was only Lady Zhu who grumbled a bit, saying the child was born too early and wasn’t a boy. Otherwise, if the eldest grandson had succeeded first, it would have been double happiness!

Thus, after staying at home for two days, Pei Wenli was encouraged to return to the academy to prepare for the examinations, as the date approached.

After trying out the two Dragon Surfboards at home, Pei Qin hurriedly took a donkey cart to the county to find Wang Ting.

When Wang Ting saw that she had indeed made two wheeled skateboards and immediately came to find him, he was quite pleased, "My family plans to try growing red potatoes on a couple hundred acres after the wheat harvest—you’d better prepare the potato seedlings in advance!" This was something he had managed to negotiate at home, for a whole two hundred acres.

Landlord Chang’s house had also reserved red potato seedlings for two hundred acres, to be planted after the wheat harvest for the summer season.

Pei Qin pinched his little face, round and white like a steamed bun, and laughed, "The red potato seedlings will certainly be ready in advance! Come on! Let me teach you how to ride this Dragon Surfboard!"

"Don’t you dare pinch this young master’s face!" Wang Ting puffed up, glaring at her.

Pei Qin pinched his face again, and seeing his cheeks flush red as he glared with wide eyes, she burst into laughter.
