Chapter 193 Malicious Intent (2)_1
"Pei Yuan! Call her Pei Qian from now on! No more San Ya or Si Ya, today is the first day of the New Year!" Pei Qin suddenly spoke earnestly.
San Ya was stunned for a moment, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she nodded vigorously, "Yeah! Call her Pei Yuan, Pei Qian! No more San Ya or Si Ya!"
Pei Qin told her to also get some more sleep, and prepared herself to sleep on the kang in the outer room, muttering discontentedly, "Yah yah yah, it sounds so demeaning! Even maids have proper names!"
San Ya... Pei Yuan lay down with red eyes and said to Si Ya, "From now on, use your name, don’t call yourself Si Ya anymore!"
Pei Qian quietly gritted her teeth and, after a while, gave a soft hum in response.
At Pei Li Zheng Family’s in Back Mountain Village, all who came to pay New Year’s visits had left. Grandma Pei, Lady Jiang, sent her grandsons, granddaughters, son, and daughter-in-law to catch up on sleep, and asked the sighing Pei Li Zheng, "What’s wrong now? Ever since the sister and brother Pei came over, you’ve been like this."
Pei Lizheng relayed Pei Qin’s words to her, "... She said when she left that they live in Willow Alley in the town, and told us to find her! If we really go to find her and take over the rice noodle workshop, we’ll be at odds with Old Pei’s House from then on!"
"I don’t think their family is anything good either!" Lady Jiang pursed her lips, then immediately asked, "If we get the rice noodle business going, how much money can we make?" If they really could make money to support her grandson’s education, she would be willing to confront Old Pei’s House. Her son had lost a leg and couldn’t do anything; her daughter-in-law had already complained quite a bit. If they could have some income, life at home could be more comfortable. Just relying on the two old folks alone, they couldn’t help them for a lifetime!
When Pei Lizheng heard her ask about the money, he knew she was tempted and let out a long sigh. It wasn’t just her, even he couldn’t help being tempted when he heard about it. But this rice noodle workshop was a hot potato, difficult to handle!
He couldn’t sleep either, thinking about what to do in the future. Pei Qin had put him in a difficult position first, and then Fang Qian had dished him a shit bowl, and even if he explained it wasn’t him who said it, Pei Yaozu and the others wouldn’t believe him. Now Pei Qin had given the rice noodle workshop to them, truly making it difficult for Pei Lizheng.
