The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

They had just returned, and the situation at home had changed already. Over there, Pei Houli was still thinking about Lady Fang, causing Lady Chen to be so angry that her heart, liver, and lungs all hurt. She slapped Pei Wenbo on the head, "Even if you’ve always been poor and never had a good meal, you can’t be like this, and you’re crying!? If you cry again, I’ll beat you to death!"

Those words implied that while they had been enduring hardship at their old home, Pei Zongli had been enjoying the good life for more than a decade, and now he dared to look down on them.

Seeing Lady Chen hitting Pei Wenbo, who she had fondly raised from a child, made Lady Zhu feel heartache too. She came over to wipe Pei Wenbo’s face and mouth and coaxed him for a while, eventually calming him down.

Pei Houli went out again to drag Pei Wensheng back into the room and made him sit down to eat, "They are just kids, and they have their fights! It’s just a few words, no need to make a big deal out of it!"

"We are always strict with our children’s upbringing at home," Qian Wanxiu sighed as she spoke and glared at Pei Wensheng, "Thank your great-uncle and apologize to your cousin!"

With red eyes, Pei Wensheng said, "Thank you, Great-Uncle!" Then, lowering his head to Pei Wenbo, he said, "I’m sorry, cousin, I shouldn’t have spoken to you that way!" and then performed a bow.

"Oh my! Our Wensheng is so polite!" Lady Zhu laughed heartily, praising him, and urged him to sit down and eat, "Or else the food will get cold!"

Pei Wensheng pursed his lips and picked a large piece of meat for Pei Wenbo.

Qian Wanxiu looked at her younger son with a satisfied smile on her face. Not remembering Pei Wenbo’s name, she laughed and said, "Eat up quickly!"

Only then did Pei Wenbo sniffle a bit and started eating with some grievance.

Lady Chen’s face turned dark, then pale.
