Chapter 92 Lack of Upbringing(2)_1
Previously, he had always been leeching off Sister Peiqin and her siblings, but now that they’d split households, he naturally had to snatch food from the mouths of others.
Pei Wenlee wasn’t one to be pushed around; Old Pei, he didn’t dare mess with, so he had to try to get a larger share from Lady Zhu, Lady Chen, and Pei Houli.
Just when they finally had a chance to eat meat again, she only got two pieces, which barely touched her teeth. Lady Zhu was quite displeased, but since she had always spoiled her grandson, she felt somewhat resentful but didn’t feel it was right to say anything.
But Pei Wenbo hadn’t had nearly enough, "They’re eating dumplings at their house! Let’s eat dumplings too! I want to eat dumplings!"
"You just ate meat, what dumplings!" Pei Houli said sternly.
Pei Wenbo twisted his body, wanting to go to Lady Zhu to make a fuss.
"Go bother your mother!" Lady Zhu was particularly irritated at the thought of Lady Chen hiding her own stash of money, and suddenly hiding so much silver. Although she said it would all be given to her eldest grandson when he takes the exams, Lady Zhu still felt annoyed.
Seeing her in a bad mood, Pei Wenbo turned around to pester Lady Chen instead.
Lady Chen didn’t dare say much these few days, just worked harder. Pushing the bothersome Pei Wenbo away, she said, "No family eats meat every day. You’re not a child anymore, stop causing a fuss! We just had meat, and we’ve eaten it several times this winter."
"Dad! Let’s go catch bamboo rats too! They made so much money by selling them; we could definitely get some silver!" Pei Wenlee persuaded Pei Houli.
Thinking of the things Pei Qin bought at the market, which he had now ended up eating himself—she was not visiting relatives, so she must have earned quite a bit of money. Hearing Pei Wenlee’s advice, he was tempted, but planes were selling well too. He wanted to make more and sell them before other carpenters to get the money.
