Chapter 215 The Blind Man is Sick (6)_1
Fang Fang was not young anymore, having turned thirteen after her birthday this year, which made her of marriageable age. But her body was covered in fat, and she had grown round and plump from overeating. The marriage brokers, when speaking of her, would see those with better conditions simply shake their heads. Indeed, there were some who came to propose marriage, but Lady Yu felt sick at heart upon seeing those suitors. None of the good ones came, only the unsuitable ones. So she restricted Fang Fang’s eating in an attempt to get her to slim down.
Yet, over the years, they had failed to control her appetite, and in the blink of an eye, she had already started sneaking food. As long as there was something to eat, she would droop her eyelids and ignore any scolding or cursing.
Lady Yu really struggled to control her, unable to bear seeing her starve and cry piteously when she was not allowed to eat.
Now, seeing that she wanted to stay at Pei Qin’s house, still fixated on those delicious foods, Lady Yu twisted her ear and said, "You’re not allowed to go anywhere! Stay home and properly lose the fat from your body!"
Fang Fang pouted unhappily and called out to Pei Qin, "Cousin! Tell my mom to let me stay for a few days!"
Pei Qin looked at her with a smile and raised an eyebrow slightly but remained silent.
Pei Qian fixed her gaze on Pei Qin, then back at Fang Fang, afraid that Pei Qin would nod her head and agree to let Fang Fang stay. Fang Fang was as fat as a pig, ate a lot, and was also lazy. If she really stayed at their house, she would eat them out of house and home!
Seeing that she wasn’t speaking up for her, Fang Fang muttered softly, "So stingy! Not even letting me stay at your house for a few days!"
But Fang Li spoke up, "Your cousin’s noodle stand is too busy to handle alone. If you want to stay, you can, but you have to help your cousin out at the noodle stand!"
Seeing her father had spoken, Fang Fang immediately nodded her head happily in agreement, calling it a great idea.
Pei Qian’s face darkened slightly, feeling extremely reluctant in her heart.
