27: Chapter 27 The House Collapsed (1)_1
Having just woken up and still not quite clear-headed, a series of thumping noises came from my own backyard, followed by a thunderous boom that startled everyone in the house awake.
Pei Qin was also taken aback, rolling from the ground to one side, she got up, with her soul still in a moment of shock, looking at the collapsing woodshed amidst the dust and smoke, she couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth, “Truly damn unreliable!” She had merely pulled out some bricks, moved a loose column, and kicked it a few times…
By the time Old Pei, Lady Zhu, and Lady Fang hurriedly ran into the backyard in a state of shock and confusion, they saw that the family’s woodshed had collapsed.
“Qinqin!” Lady Fang saw the collapsed woodshed and in an instant all her blood rushed to her head; she let out a piercing shriek and started frantically digging through the rubble.
Pei Qin, standing on the other side, heard her cries and seeing her throw herself onto the debris, began to panic and fearfully dig through the wooden planks and thatch, her heart suddenly constricting.
Did she think she was trapped beneath the house!?
She climbed up and pulled at her, “…Mom!”
For the first time since she had crossed over, Pei Qin directly called Lady Fang “Mom.”
Lady Fang stiffened, saw that she was alright, and then hugged her tightly, “Qinqin…” holding her close and bursting into loud sobs.
Feeling her entire body shaking, Pei Qin gently patted her to comfort her.
After crying for a while, Lady Fang still not reassured, released her and looked her up and down.
Pei Qin raised her arm, showing her, “I’m fine!

It was I who kicked down the woodshed!”
Lady Fang looked at her in disbelief and then back at the collapsed woodshed, unable to believe that her daughter was capable of such destruction.
Lady Zhu, coming back to her senses from the shock, cursed, “You wretched girl!
You’ve even caused the house to collapse!?”
Having recovered from her immense fear, Lady Fang didn’t find her eldest daughter’s toppling of the house an act of unforgivable defiance, as long as her Qinqin was unharmed!
Pei Qin looked gloomily at Lady Zhu, Old Pei, Lady Chen, and muttered, “It’s not my fault the house was flimsy, is it?”
“You…
you…” Lady Zhu was so choked by her retort that she couldn’t speak.
Lady Chen couldn’t help but begin cursing, “You’ve caused the house to fall, and you’re in such a hurry to come out, are you eager to elope…”
Pei Qin glared at her fiercely.
Lady Chen felt a shiver, images of being kicked over by her and stepped on the face flashing through her mind, she swallowed her words and glared at her with fury, “The world has turned upside down!”
Pei Qin retracted her cold gaze, swept her eyes over Old Pei and Lady Zhu, and said to Lady Fang, “Zhang Dalang is too clumsy, I don’t like him!
If I were to elope, I’d choose a rich gentleman!”
Lady Chen couldn’t resist the urge to jeer.
Dreaming of eloping with a rich gentleman, this lowly creature, not even fit to wash their feet!
Lady Fang still worriedly looked at Old Pei and the others, then asked Pei Qin, “Then…
then yesterday…”
Pei Qin sneered, “Zhang Dalang came to talk to me about eloping, and I kicked him away.”
In the past, no one would have believed such a claim.
But the current Pei Qin, if Zhang Dalang talked to her about eloping, it wasn’t just a kick, she might have even given Zhang Dalang a thrashing.
But whether what she said was true or deliberately false, who could tell?
Lady Chen somewhat blamed her youngest son for running back without hearing the full story.
She had no idea what this wretched girl and Zhang Dalang had planned afterward.
Pei Qin strode past the ruins of the collapsed woodshed, heading to the front courtyard to wash her face and comb her hair.
Lady Fang anxiously looked at Old Pei and Lady Zhu, “Da Ya said herself, she doesn’t fancy Zhang Dalang, she’ll definitely not go…
go elope!”
Lady Zhu didn’t believe it, seeing Pei Qin go to the front courtyard, she turned to Old Pei, “Qian Dog’s family will come to propose in a few days, this marriage arrangement is already set, if something really happened, our Old Pei’s House would lose all face!” What she meant was, they should continue to keep Pei Qin locked up.
