The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 35 - Want to Drink Chicken Soup (2)_1

Seeing that Pei Qin appeared ready to stir up trouble, Lady Zhu felt somewhat helpless and turned the pressure on Lady Fang, “San Lang has only one brother, and in the future, you all have to rely on the eldest!

Rely on the first wife’s side!

Make your own decision!”

Lady Fang’s hand, chopping vegetables, paused as she bowed her head and said nothing.

Lady Zhu saw that Pei Qin remained unmoving and gave her a meaningful look.

Fuming with anger but forced to restrain herself, she returned to the main room with a smile on her face, “Da Ya is shy!

She said she’d cook a few dishes today and is busy in the kitchen right now!”

Grandma Qian’s brows furrowed slightly, her heart discontented.

Even if she had to cook, with her stature, she ought to come over and pay her respects, right!?

Anyway, the betrothal gifts had already been delivered, and the marriage had been settled.

Lady Chen quickly came up with a bunch of excuses to gloss over the situation.

The other two women who had come to keep company also smoothed things over with laughter.

Others might not know Pei Qin, but they were well aware of the Pei family’s circumstances.

However, if Pei Wenli passed the exams next year and made a name for himself, it would reflect well on them, their related clans as well!

Though they said Pei Qin was cooking, it was Lady Fang who was actually doing the work.

She stir-fried pork, eggs, killed a chicken, and added fish, preparing a very lavish meal.

Pei Wenlee and Pei Wenbo watched in the kitchen as the dishes were carried to the main room, leaving only some stir-fried cabbage with pork and a bowl of chicken soup with a few pieces of bone meat; only then did they go to the main room to eat.

Si Ya licked her lips, wanting to go to the main room as well.

Lady Fang stopped her, “This isn’t like sitting at a table for wedding feast, it’s not proper for little children to go there.”

Si Ya just thought about it, and after peeking at the entrance, she didn’t insist on going.

Before long, Pei Wenlee and Pei Wenbo were chased out.

This was a betrothal feast, not a time for little children to sit and eat at the main room’s table.

After only a few words, all the good dishes were gone.

Grandma Qian’s expression hadn’t eased since the two had entered the main room.

Moreover, none of Pei Qin’s siblings had gone to the main room, not even Lady Fang, making Pei Wenlee and Pei Wenbo an exception.

Pei Houli noticed Qian Dog’s expression was also unsatisfactory and told them to go eat in the kitchen.

But the dishes left in the kitchen were nowhere near enough, let alone any good ones.

Lady Zhu saw their aggrieved looks and grabbed a bowl to scoop some food.

Old Pei from another table shot a sideways glance, disapproving of the lack of foresight on such an important day.

Pei Qin fished out the pieces of chicken from the bowl of soup, stared at the nearly meatless bones with a sneer, her gaze fell on Pei Wenbo and Pei Wenlee as she asked the three, including Pei Wendong, “Want some chicken soup?”

San Ya thought she wanted to drink it and feared her anger, so she shook her head, “You drink it, elder sister!”

Pei Qin looked at Si Ya and Wendong.

Si Ya was about to speak but then shook her head as well.

Pei Qin didn’t get up but remained seated, scooping up nearly half a bowl of chicken soup and abruptly flinging it at Pei Wenbo.
