Chapter 751: Chapter 751: Forgive You (6)_1

With these thoughts in mind, Grandma Li felt disgruntled but didn’t dare offend either Pei Qin or Grandma Fang, so she started gorging on the dishes and the black-bone chicken soup on the table.

After the meal, there wasn’t much reason for Grandma Fang to stay any longer. She sat for a while and then said she was heading back, "Everyone is busy at home, and I can still lend a hand, keep an eye on the door! Qinqin, you should also take an early afternoon nap!" Living in Fang Family Village for the past few days, she had developed the habit of taking an afternoon nap every day.

Fang Hui and Feng Shouxing followed suit and excused themselves.

Pei Qin stood up to see them off.

Grandma Li and Old Man Li didn’t leave; the matchmaker was relentless, always wanting to offer their son more guidance in his studies.

"I’ve given him all the guidance I can. If he still doesn’t settle down to study earnestly, and remains rash in his actions, he will still fail the exams next year and the year after," Mo Heng refused.

His words were so absolute, so harsh, that they caused Grandma Li and Old Man Li to change their expressions instantly.

"Just let him devote himself to his studies with sincerity!" Mo Heng stood up directly and asked Pei Qin to go back to the inner courtyard with him.

Looking displeased, Grandma Li and Old Man Li emerged from Liu’er Alley muttering, "What a waste of two boxes of gifts!"

The gifts they had brought were returned by Pei Qian, which made the two feel embarrassed, so they left behind two boxes of pastries.

The villagers were curious—Grandma Fang and Pei Qin’s aunt and uncle had come by without any particular occasion, and so had Li Baoxiang’s parents, yet all came out of Liu’er Alley with looks of displeasure on their faces. What happened? Were they all thinking about the Sweet Potato Flour Workshop!?

Grandma Fang was angry with Fang Hui and Feng Shouxing, "You said you were sincerely apologizing, and it would’ve been fine if things were settled. But you had to bring up the Sweet Potato Flour Workshop, what are Qinqin and the others supposed to think!?"

Fang Hui wanted to argue back but, considering that Lady Yu had no intention of helping them, looked down on them, her father didn’t care about her, and Lady Ruan never asked about anything, she would still have to rely on her mother. With tearful, red-rimmed eyes, she said pitifully, "I was just asking if it was true, who knew it would..."

Seeing her crying again, Grandma Fang sighed, "You go home and focus on the noodle shop, and sell sesame pancakes on the side, there are plenty of people who eat out in the county town, you will surely make a tidy sum. Start planting sunflowers next year! That’s at least one source of income! Don’t be envious all the time. If you don’t focus on your own business but keep being envious, even if we really break off relations, I won’t care about you anymore!"

"All the pickled cabbage supply was taken over by Pei Qian. Qinqin listens to her, lets her have her way," said Fang Hui, unable to hold back her self-pity.

Speaking of this, Grandma Fang was also upset, "I told you to increase pickle production from this year onwards. If you hadn’t gone to them looking for business, would Qianqian have taken the supply? Always thirsty, always envious, if you don’t focus on your own work and keep coveting, this is asking to sever relations yourself!"

"I just saw everyone getting rich, and I wanted our family to live a bit better," Fang Hui said softly, dabbing at her tears.

"That’s exactly where you go wrong, always wanting to be the best! Their wealth is earned through their own merit. You should accumulate your wealth slowly through your own efforts, won’t you be wealthy then!? If you don’t repent, no family would like such relatives! Tell me, would you like it if you had such relatives?" Grandma Fang lectured her.

Fang Hui bowed her head, looking remorseful. She felt they had been left out of the Fang family’s prosperity.

Grandma Fang sighed again, giving advice all the way.

"How long can they really stay honest? Seeing us make money, they are sure to scheme again!" Pei Qian didn’t believe for a second that they were truly repentant or sincere in their apologies, "If there wasn’t something in it for them, they wouldn’t apologize for shit! The only thing they regret is their own loss."

"Indeed! You have a sharp eye and a clear mind. But you need to change that tongue of yours! Keep whatever you want to say in your heart, curse in your heart too. Harsh words spoken out loud don’t just hurt others; they tarnish your own character! I don’t want to hear again that someone thinks my sister is ill-mannered," Pei Qin also lectured her sister.
