Chapter 734: Chapter 734 Shameless to Death (7)_1

Fang Hui couldn’t accept it, "Qinqin! If you said just one word about the pickled cabbage issue, Qianqian wouldn’t stubbornly insist on handling it! Now she’s managing the pine eggs and has even set up a breeding farm, and she’s still in charge of the pickled cabbage. She’s about to get married too. Is she supposed to take all that with her to her new home?!"

"How about you wait a bit longer? She should be back by this afternoon. You could talk to her then?" Pei Qin asked with a smile.

Fang Hui saw that she was getting nowhere, and her childhood pride prevented her from lowering her stance any further, leaving her with an increasingly ugly expression on her face.

Li Hualing pulled at her, "Let’s just go! Pei Qin has been reasonable enough. If you irritate her any further and she really gets upset, they could finish gathering all the cabbages and block every path for us, then we’ll really have something to cry about."

Thinking of coming back to learn how to make he luo noodles and sesame sauce flatbreads, Fang Hui reluctantly let herself be dragged out the door.

Huang Qiu saw them off and breathed a sigh of relief. They finally left! Going back to serve Pei Qin for her afternoon nap, she said, "Madam, it’s past the time for your afternoon rest already. They are getting beyond themselves, why should you listen to so much of what they have to say? For the pickled cabbage alone, they made no small fortune the year before last!"

"I’m just bustin’ my chops here! It’s rare to find some amusement!" Pei Qin joked, nearly bored enough to start writing her own vignettes.

Huang Qiu’s mouth twitched at the corner, suggesting, "How about when the master returns, we take Madam to the county town for a couple of days tomorrow? There are performances of opera at the teahouse, and storytellers too."

Pei Qin yawned, "Those opera songs are just the same old tunes over and over. The storytelling could be interesting to listen to, but it’s a serial story; I can’t very well run there every day to hear it!"

Jiujiu had already stripped off her clothes and jumped into bed, "Mom! Go to sleep!"

Pei Qin also stripped off her robe and handed it to Huang Qiu before pulling up the blanket and lying down, "Alright! Let’s sleep!"

Huang Qiu hung the clothes on the clothes rack and tucked in the corner of the blanket, then quietly left and closed the door.

As soon as they settled down to sleep, Mo Heng rushed back home.

Zhang Gengshan stepped forward to report everything that had happened at home in detail.

After listening, Mo Heng entered the room quietly, saw his wife and child sleeping soundly together, bent down to kiss each of them gently, changed out of his official robes into his regular clothes, and went to his study, "Bring me a cup of tea. When the Third Miss comes back, report to her as well."

Zhang Gengshan grinned, "Yes!" and went to brew the tea.

When Pei Qian came back in the evening with her guard and Lv Chun, Hong Xia, Xue Dong, and others and brought back a bamboo rat and a wild hare, she said, "We caught quite a few today. If there were this many every day, the breeding farm would be full before long! Too bad it’s getting colder and the bamboo rats and hares nearby are almost all caught."

Seeing she was in good spirits, Zhang Gengshan decided not to bring up the earlier topic.

Huang Qiu, the wet nurse, and the cook woman hurried to set the table.

After dinner, Pei Qian hurried to bed, "I have a long journey tomorrow! All the way to Qinghe Town! If I make good time, I’ll bring some bamboo rats and wild hares for my elder sister to eat!"

"Good!" Pei Qin urged her to get to sleep quickly.

But of course, she couldn’t fall asleep right away. After washing up and coming out of the bathroom, she was startled to see Zhang Gengshan standing outside.

Zhang Gengshan quickly apologized and explained that Fang Hui had come by today.

The moment Pei Qian heard Fang Hui’s name, she glared, "What does she want this time? Another handout?!"

"Third Miss is astute, you’ve guessed it right on," Zhang Gengshan said with a smile and reported everything about Fang Hui’s visit.

Pei Qian’s expression immediately darkened, and she snorted, "She really has some nerve, asking for pickled cabbage and then wanting to borrow money, trying to stop us from making it. Who gave her such audacity?! What kind of aunt is she anyway? Complaining about favoritism. It’s not us being unreasonable or asking too much!"

"They said they’ll bring some dough tomorrow to learn how to make he luo noodles and sesame sauce flatbreads," Zhang Gengshan said with a chuckle.
