Chapter 355: Chapter 355 The Potential to Be a Dishonest Merchant (2)_1

"Grandma has already spoken, we’ve given it away, and it wouldn’t be right to ask for it back. Even if their family has made spicy pickled cabbage, if you want to make it, you can still make it. Just sell it to the restaurants, or not, sell it to Runing Prefecture," Pei Yuan sighed as she offered her advice.

"Why should we give up our spot to them? I won’t let them do it! Just because they dared to scheme against my older sister, that low and shameless act means they don’t deserve to be called family!" Pei Qian gritted her teeth in fury.

"Shut up!" Pei Qin snapped, "I’ve taught you for so long, yet you’re still so petty and mean!"

"I am petty and mean!" Pei Qian stubbornly retorted, "When we were starving and couldn’t afford clothes, who cared about us? Did they ever ask after us? When we fell out with Old Pei’s House, did they even glance our way? When our mother was driven to death, when we were kicked out, who was generous to us? Now that they see we’ve made something of ourselves and have money, they all come running to calculate against us. They all have bad intentions!"

Seeing her eyes redden with rage, Pei Qin’s face turned grim, "I won’t hit you, go to Taiping Mountain to reflect on yourself!"

Taiping Mountain was covered with sunflowers; though the soil wasn’t great, the sunflowers had grown well nonetheless. Now the mountain was a sea of gold with sunflower faces all turned toward the sun, bathing in the light.

Pei Qian angrily wiped away her tears and quickly ran out.

As she opened the front door, she saw Old Scholar Fang and Grandma Fang standing outside, faces purple with embarrassment. Pei Qian’s own face changed, and she wanted to say more, but thinking of Pei Qin’s stern face, she bit her lip hard, didn’t even greet the visitors, and ran straight out of town to Taiping Mountain.

Pei Yuan followed her out and was taken aback to see both Old Scholar Fang and Grandma Fang; she blushed with embarrassment and invited them in.

Pei Qin merely moved her eyebrows, not a trace of discomfort showing, as she stared directly at them, waiting for them to speak.

Grandma Fang hadn’t expected the sisters to argue over spicy pickled cabbage, "Let Qianqian come back. She’s still young, and her rudeness wasn’t intentional. Taiping Mountain is so far away..."

"She needs to be punished!" Pei Qin remained unmoved.

Old Scholar Fang, thinking of the sunflowers on the mountain all facing the sun, understood Pei Qin’s pains in raising her three younger siblings—it wasn’t easy. He sighed, "I tore up the recipe for the spicy pickled cabbage when I got home and brought it here. What your young aunt did was wrong, coming here to take your business even more so. I will reprimand her when I get back."

To reprimand meant nothing more than calling her back home and giving her a talking-to. After all, she was a married daughter, a wife in another family, someone else’s person now.

Pei Qin’s eyes flashed subtly, but she said nothing.

Pei Yuan looked at the torn pieces of paper with writing from her older sister on them, then at Old Scholar Fang, feeling a slight surprise. Her grandfather had actually taken back the permission for their young aunt’s family to make spicy pickled cabbage. But regarding that young aunt’s side...

Grandma Fang, feeling somewhat guilty, added, "I thought, being family, we should help each other. If you needed to rely on someone, it might as well be family. I hadn’t thought about the Feng family... they just wanted a business to run. Before I even got home, I realized I shouldn’t have let them have the spicy pickled cabbage! It was a lapse in judgment, I was mistaken!"

No one in the family should calculate against one another! As long as I’m alive, I won’t allow it! In the future, you can just keep formalities with the Feng family! For the younger generation, they can interact if possible, and if not, just exchange the usual courtesies during the holidays, whatever suits you," Old Scholar Fang said sternly.

Only then did Pei Qin speak up, "It’s difficult to talk about the young aunt’s side, after all, she’s family. The Feng family, seeing others benefit, even if the young aunt doesn’t want to, those at her home will still talk her into it. Let’s let them make the spicy pickled cabbage! If our family wants to do it, then we can sell it in Fu City or elsewhere, that’s all!"
