The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 63 - Returning to the County Town (2)_1

After waiting by the roadside for quite some time, they finally encountered a donkey cart heading to the county town.

The people on the cart looked at the wriggling sacks and asked what was inside, “You kids are going to the county town!?”

Pei Qin sniffled, “These are rabbits we raised at home.

My father is so ill he can’t even get out of bed, and when my mother works for others, she doesn’t get paid.

We have no choice but to sell these rabbits!”

San Ya was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered her head.

Why was her older sister lying?

Si Ya’s eyes flickered, and she chimed in, “After we sell the rabbits, we can buy medicine for our father, and then he won’t have to die!”

Seeing the sisters’ threadbare clothes, washed out and patched in many places, the passengers’ gazes filled with sympathy.

They asked why their brother wasn’t helping and where their grandparents were.

“My brother is only four years old.

Our grandparents…

they don’t take care of us,” Pei Qin sighed.

The people on the cart expressed their sympathy and started talking about other families in similar situations.

Someone mentioned a man who had died, leaving behind a widow with children, who had it even worse.

Another discussed women who abandoned their children to remarry.

Listening to all the gossip on their way, the sisters finally arrived outside the city gates.

The charioteer charged them two coppers less.

Pei Qin thanked him, then gave the two coppers back to the man, “Uncle!

My mother taught us not to take advantage of anyone, everyone’s life is tough!

We already didn’t ask for extra carriage fare because we brought goods, so how could we give less!”

The charioteer looked at her with immediate admiration, “Such a promising young girl!

If you insist on giving the two coppers, then I’ll accept it!

Next time you come to the city, just ride my cart!

As long as you don’t bring too much, I won’t charge you!”

“Thank you, Uncle!” Pei Qin quickly smiled and thanked him again.

Si Ya was happy to save the two coppers, but seeing them returning the money, her little face fell.

The charioteer, noticing the three girls, wanted to help take the rabbits to the market.

Pei Qin declined the offer, thanked him, and with San Ya and Si Ya carrying the sacks, headed for the market.

Once inside the city gates, Si Ya began to complain, “Two coppers!

He said he didn’t want them, and you gave them back!

That’s enough to buy two pieces of coarse flatbread!”

“Only thinking about those two coppers for now, will you ride his cart again in the future?

He might accept less once, but it’s not possible that he’ll do so again.

If we bring a lot and take up space, we must pay the carriage fare!” Pei Qin gave her a chiding glance.

“But he just said if we don’t bring much next time, he won’t charge us any money!” San Ya also tried to reason.

Still, Si Ya felt like they had wasted two coppers, and her face darkened.

San Ya tugged at her, hurrying to catch up with Pei Qin.

Pei Qin arrived at the market, ready to look for a spot to set up her stall.

Then, from behind, a loud shout, “You three…

stop right there!”
