The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 37 - Deciding your damn kinship(2)_1

An empty joy!” Pei Qin shouted angrily, eyeing Lady Zhu and Lady Chen who were eager to try something.

Old Pei’s face darkened like a looming storm, and a vein throbbed in his forehead as he angrily commanded, “Silence!”

“You just see my father dead and first humiliate my mother!

Then you want to sell me!

Are you not afraid my father will clamber from his grave to find you!?

Or that the spit of those outside will drown you!?

I refuse to believe that everyone shares your disgraceful thoughts!

I don’t believe that even the County Government Office can’t provide a measure of justice!

My father was a Scholar, my mother the Scholar’s Wife!

If you dare sell me for land, and I die, you’ll end up with nothing!” Pei Qin was not afraid of him, a so-called head of the family, whose insistence had forced Madam Fang and her daughter into their current tragic plight.

Seeing that his words were ineffective, Old Pei also got angry and wanted to hit Pei Qin.

“Hit me!

Hit me again!

See if this time, with all of you teaming up together, you can beat me to death!” Pei Qin taunted, not afraid to make a scene.

As for making a scene and becoming infamous, ha!

The Pei family’s bad reputation had long been well known!

Lady Fang hugged Pei Qin and wept bitterly.

Pei Qin pushed her away, fearing that Lady Chen and Lady Zhu wouldn’t be able to restrain themselves and would start fighting.

If Lady Fang got caught in the middle, Pei Qin wouldn’t be able to fight without restraint and would be at a disadvantage.

Grandma Qian’s face turned ominously dark, looking as though she wanted to come over.

The wives of the two guest servants hastily came over with forced smiles and stopped her, asking her to sit in the main hall.

When Qian Dog decided to come out, they couldn’t stop him as easily.

At the kitchen doorway, he saw a spill of chicken soup on the ground, a few pieces of bone without much meat on them rolled to the side, and the small low table with a crippled leg could no longer be discerned in color, with half a bowl of stir-fried cabbage on it, barely containing any pieces of meat.

Looking at the attire of the women, it was clear.

Seeing Pei Qin with her face red with anger, Qian Dog couldn’t help frowning at Lady Chen.

He was well aware of the Pei family’s situation and was exasperated that they would cause such a stir over a bowl of chicken.

Lady Chen was trying her utmost to calm the situation, but she truly did not know how to smooth things over.

To say Pei Qin was right was to admit their fault.

To blame Pei Qin would contradict her earlier praise of Pei Qin as the best in the village.

But Pei Qin had her eyes fixed on Qian Dog, “Did this match receive consent from my parents?

My father is dead—did my mother nod her agreement?”

Qian Dog looked at her, and an uneasy premonition emerged within him.

Pei Qin sneered, “Marriage is a serious matter, the command of parents and the words of a matchmaker.

My mother did not agree, so who consented on your behalf?

Who accepted your betrothal gifts?

Her?” she said, pointing at Lady Chen, “I am not her daughter.

As just a paternal aunt, how could she decide on my marriage!?”

Qian Dog’s face grew unsightly.

Lady Zhu scolded angrily, “She cannot decide!

Can I not make a decision either!?”

Pei Qin glanced coldly at her, “For my marriage, if my mother did not agree, by what authority do you decide!?

This marriage was settled between you, Qian Dog, and Lady Chen!

Then the person betrothed to Qian Dog should be your eldest daughter, Pei Wenlee!”

Upon being singled out, Pei Wenlee suddenly jumped up.
