The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

Chapter 876: Chapter 190: The Dragon Begets the Dragon and the Phoenix Begets the Phoenix

Pei Yuan looked at Fang Hui with a cold gaze, "If a son is of no use and still depends on another family’s daughter, it’s better not to have one! My Jiujiu and Xixi will be worth more than ten sons in anyone else’s eyes in the future!"

Fang Hui’s face turned pale, and her smile stiffened. Pei Yuan, this cheap girl, seemed obedient but was actually just as harsh as the rest of them, possessing a cutting tongue! She actually dared to mock her son’s incompetence, saying that they were dependent on them. If they really were dependent on their family, would their family become the poorest among the relatives?

Pei Yuan looked straight at her, asked with a faint smile, "Moreover, my eldest sister is exceptional by nature. You can’t find another woman like her in the whole world. Not to mention someone else’s daughter, whose son could match up! Right, "Little Aunt"?

Madam Zhao watched as she directly addressed Fang Hui, smiling to herself as she watched.

Lady Yu saw Fang Hui’s face turning pale, pretended not to see it, and neither interrupted nor shifted the conversation.

Li Hua Ling saw her mother-in-law embarrassed, and noting that Grandma Fang and Lady Yu showed no intention of helping, Pei Yuan kept pressing with her questions. Li Hua Ling then chimed in with a laugh, "Someone like big cousin is truly one in a million! We who are with her every day don’t realize it, but people from other places, on hearing about big cousin, might think she’s a legendary figure!"

Madam Zhao didn’t want a good celebration ruined by Fang Hui, spoiling the mood, so she said with a smile, "People always say you shouldn’t marry a motherless girl because she lacks upbringing. It took me several pleas to wed Yuan. I was attracted by the cultivation of her elder sister, who also brought up her younger siblings outstandingly. My Happy was fed by his great aunt’s breast milk from birth, and he will surely learn from his great aunt too!" She then said to Pei Yuan, "Let’s also send the kid to your sister for teaching. That way, we mothers-in-law can relax a bit!"

Lady Yu also laughed, "In the future, we should send all kids to Qin for upbringing, like she said, like a bunch of little radishes. That would indeed be lively!"

Pei Qin laughed as well, "These few have given me such a headache!" She pointed at Pei Yuan and Pei Qian.

"The younger ones still need to be taught! If you teach them well, who knows, maybe all our kids will be sent to you for raising!" Lady Zou also said with a laugh.

The Sun Quanliang family immediately laughed at her, "Start with yours first! Your Xingwang has surely needed plenty of discipline!"

Lady Zou herself thought about it and laughed heartily as well.

No one brought up Fang Hui’s remarks again, nor did anyone speak to her. Madam Zhao had other guests to attend to and let Pei Yuan take Happy to properly entertain Pei Qin and the others.

Fang Hui sat among the crowd, merely watching them laugh and joke, her face turning alternately green and dark. Watching Fang Xin playing in and out with Jiujiu, Pei Qin holding Xixi, she couldn’t help but snort internally. The former, at least, had a pretty face which would surely be a man-trapper in the future! As for the latter, named Xixi, who wasn’t even as pretty as Pei Qin, just buy her way with money later! After all, there are always men like Mo Heng, good for nothing but selling their looks!

Soon someone outside announced that the banquet was about to begin, and the relatives from her mother’s side were arranged inside. Madam Zhao came over and asked everyone to take their seats, with dishes first being served inside.

Fang Hui watched, worried they would exclude Hua Ling from sitting with them, embarrassing her. She thus took a seat next to Grandma Fang and Lady Yu as they settled.

Pei Qian sat with Jiujiu and Fang Xin next to Pei Qin.

The table was first served with brown sugar egg tea.

Jiujiu was curious and drank several sips.

Fang Hui then scolded Feng Xiaolang, "Don’t be so worthless, just drinking your fill of water and then not being able to eat anything!"

Pei Qian glanced at her but said nothing.

Lady Yu was still puzzled, as she was usually not one to hold back her words. Even though she had calmed down quite a bit, her temperament was there, yet today she had said nothing.

Soon, dishes were served, including four vegetarian and six meat cold dishes, all sprinkled with sesame oil. The smell of the marinated meat wafted through the air.

Pei Qian served Jiujiu some beef and pig’s ears to eat.

Feng Xiaolang, displeased with the slow pace of Fang Hui’s serving and sitting too low, wanted to stand up to eat.

Hua Ling held him down, "You like beef, here’s some beef for you. Sit properly and eat well!"

"I want that one too!" Feng Xiaolang pointed at a plate of marinated pork tongue.

Fang Hui immediately served him a chopstick full.

Grandma Fang told Pei Yuan to avoid the cold dishes, "You have been depleted a lot, and it’s cold. Don’t touch the cold dishes, just follow this winter regimen and nurse your body well!"

Pei Yuan, not needing to breastfeed Happy, ate slightly better during her confinement than others, not needing to be so careful about her diet. But Zhao Xiaochen and Madam Zhao were strict, providing only nourishing food and medicine. Her mouth, especially, longed for something tastier like the cold dishes.
