Chapter 276: So Many People Like Me (4)_1
"The eldest daughter married a Scholar only to end up like this. Even if Pei Qin had the capability and the family earned money, she’s dead now and can’t enjoy it! Besides, Liuming isn’t outstanding, who knows if he’ll ever pass the exams!" Fang Hui said angrily.
"Last time, the Sun family was unwilling to be the matchmaker because Sun Tiezhu’s brother-in-law also wanted to marry the cousin!" Feng Bo thought that if it hadn’t been for Zou Xing and the Sun family, and without the obstruction of the grandparents’ family, Pei Qin would have definitely agreed to marry him.
Fang Hui suddenly understood and immediately cursed a few times, "No wonder when I asked for their help, even bringing gifts, they acted as if I was offending them! They also said some Shopkeeper was rejected for a marriage proposal, damn it! It was all their own scheming, wanting to secretly drive us all away!"
"Cousin... helped Zouxing’s family with business negotiations, I saw them in the county after Double Ninth Festival." Feng Bo was very dispirited and gloomy; they were relatives after all. He couldn’t think of any good fortune coming their way, and they even bluntly rejected his marriage proposal!
Fang Hui felt she could not tolerate this, she had never suffered such an insult before.
But now, if she went to confront them rashly without a reason, considering that the Cold Food Festival was approaching, she decided to endure for the moment.
As the weather turned colder, Pei Yuan took out all the fabric at home and laid it out on the kang to make cotton-padded clothes for the family. She planned to make a set of lined jackets first, which could be worn immediately, and then the cotton-padded jackets.
There were several bolts of fabric in plain colors; Pei Yuan chose a blue cotton silk to cut a lined jacket for Pei Qin, trimming it with light yellow borders.
Pei Qian was also learning to sew; Lady Zou was very good at needlework and often taught them when she had nothing to do. Seeing that Pei Qin did not indulge in needlework, and relying on Pei Yuan alone was too much, she took it seriously and learned to sew.
