The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 20 - Time to Kill_1

At such a young age, you’re always sneaking around with boys.

Go on, change places, see if anyone else would marry a little wretch like you!”

“Qinqin!” Lady Fang called out loudly.

Pei Qin moved quickly towards Lady Chen, spun around, and delivered a fierce kick straight to Lady Chen’s face.

“Ahh…” Lady Chen screamed in agony, tumbling to the ground hard.

Lady Zhu, scared out of her wits, stared in disbelief.

But Pei Qin didn’t stop.

She stepped down hard on Lady Chen’s face, “You old hag!

I warn you, if I hear another uneducated, man-chasing, insulting word about me from your mouth, I swear I won’t let you live!”

“Ah… ah… help!

Someone, help!” Lady Chen shrieked in terror, her cries for help piercing the air.

“You… you wretch…

you’re going to murder someone!” Lady Zhu also shouted fiercely.

Turning pale, Lady Fang rushed over to pull Pei Qin away, “Qinqin!

Don’t be rash…

don’t be impulsive!”

Pei Qin brushed her off, casting a cold glance at Lady Zhu and then staring down at Lady Chen, “If you want to sell me for a good price, then behave yourself!

If you piss me off, I have plenty of ways to ruin your son’s reputation, ensuring he will never pass the civil examinations and will remain a loser for life!”

“Don’t do this, Qinqin!” Lady Fang, looking as if she had gone mad, tried to pull her away again.

Pei Qin allowed herself to be pulled to one side by the momentum.

After a moment’s thought, Lady Fang, her eyes red, went over to help Lady Chen up.

Lady Chen was nearly bursting with rage, feeling as if a fire was about to explode in her chest.

She grabbed Lady Fang to help herself up, her spine chilled by the piercing cold of Pei Qin’s stern gaze, which instantly filled her with terror.

With a cold snort, Pei Qin declared, “I’m not a lamb to be slaughtered at will.

If you want to sell me, you better behave yourself!” With that said, she turned and walked towards the exit.

As she walked, she cursed, “Damn it!

They dare to sell me and have the gall to insult me?

They’re asking for a beating!”

Kicking at the door, she swung it open and stormed out, leaving behind the courtyard and a few people including Lady Zhu and Lady Fang, shocked and still unable to grasp what had just happened.

The imprint of the shoe on Lady Chen’s face from Pei Qin’s kick was still clearly visible.

Pei Qin, however, felt far from relieved and wanted to find someone to fight.

It was frustrating enough being transplanted into this godforsaken place, let alone dealing with the machinations of being married off by Old Pei’s House.

Even if you were selling a pig, you wouldn’t beat and curse it like this, would you?

Pei Qin had heard all manner of curses, and she could give as good as she got.

But cursing was one thing; insulting someone’s character and upbringing was an invitation for a beating!

Dalang, wallowing in his own secret sorrow, looked up to see her emerge with a dark and troubled expression and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He thought she had come out looking for him and waited for her to head up to Taiping Mountain, to the place where they often went to chop wood and cut grass for the pigs.

Pei Qin wasn’t actually looking for him; once she left the village, she headed straight for the town.

The reason why Back Mountain Village was so named was because it was situated behind Taiping Mountain.

And just beyond the not-so-large Taiping Mountain lay the town, Taiping Town.

Pei Qin, relying on her memory, walked along the road that skirted the edge of Taiping Mountain.

She wanted to go to the town to think of a way to make some money.

With silver in hand, at the very least, the food and warmth of a few people could be secured, and then it would be goodbye to Old Pei’s House!

Zhang Dalang saw that she wasn’t headed to the mountain and casually followed her in secret.

Not until they were in a deserted place did he quicken his pace and call out, “Da Ya!”

Qinqin had heard this name a few times but never thought it was meant for her, so she continued on her way.

Seeing that she ignored him, Zhang Dalang thought she had taken a fancy to Qian Dog and was angry that he had not proposed to her earlier; he hurriedly ran to catch up, “Da Ya!

Da Ya!”

Pei Qin finally realized they were calling her and, turning her head, saw a youth of about fifteen or sixteen, and she raised an eyebrow.

The original owner’s little lover, Zhang Dalang?!

“Da Ya!

Have…

have your family agreed to Qian Dog?” Zhang Dalang asked, somewhat afraid to look at her.

“What difference does it make if they agree or not?” Pei Qin scoffed.

Zhang Dalang’s expression showed discomfort as he said, “Da Ya…

I…

I don’t want you to marry Qian Dog!

He’s had a wife who died, and…

and…”

“I won’t marry Qian Dog, but I won’t marry you either!” Pei Qin didn’t say more to him and turned to leave.

Not to mention she didn’t like this type, but this Zhang Dalang had always been flirting with the original owner and never talked about proposing.

His mother, Grandma Zhang, whenever she saw the original owner alone, would scold her for being shameless and flirting with men.

She must have also scolded Lady Fang.

Zhang Dalang panicked when he heard this and followed her to explain, “I will definitely persuade my mother!

Don’t be angry!

Just wait, wait for me, I’ll be able to persuade her soon!”

Pei Qin didn’t listen; she was eager to find money, to think of ways to earn silver!

Zhang Dalang kept explaining as he followed her, seeing she was heading to the town, “Da Ya!

What are you going to the town for?”

“Don’t follow me!

Without Qian Dog, even if you persuade your mother, I won’t agree to you!” Pei Qin was somewhat impatient.

“Da Ya…” Zhang Dalang was somewhat shocked, “Are…

are you still angry with me?

Are you still mad at me?” Surely, her refusal to marry him was said in anger!

Pei Qin stopped, and with impatience, she rolled her eyes at him, “Zhang…

Dalang, right?

I’ll tell you one last time, no matter if it’s your mother, your father, or whoever else, it’s no use.

I will not marry you!”

Zhang Dalang shook his head slightly, disbelieving.

Pei Qin cursed silently, “I’ll make it even clearer for you, even without Qian Dog, I would not marry you!

Even if your parents came to propose joyously, I would not agree to you, understand!?

So don’t follow me!” She nodded in farewell and strode toward the town.

Zhang Dalang was somewhat dazed as he watched her walk away, “Da Ya…” His eyes gradually reddened, and tears began to well up uncontrollably.

She clearly liked him, wanted to marry him!

He had said that he would persuade his mother to let him propose and marry her.

So why had things turned out this way?

Da Ya was angry!

She must be angry!

Angry that he hadn’t sought to propose earlier!

He wanted to as well, but his mother…

Thinking of his mother, Zhang Dalang felt a suffocation in his heart.

Watching Pei Qin’s receding figure, it seemed as if he was gradually losing something, and he could barely suppress the pain and discomfort within him.

A bold idea emerged in his mind.
