The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

Upon exiting the County Government Office, Sun Lizheng’s gaze towards Pei Qin had become indescribable. Was he getting old, or was he simply not savvy to her ways?

Pei Qian felt as though she had once again seen the light of day, yet her legs still trembled slightly with lingering fear.

"I thought you were brave, so I brought you along, and yet this little incident has frightened you to such a state?" Pei Qin said with a smile as she looked at her.

Her smile was gentle, and her gaze warm. Pei Qian looked up at her and suddenly thought, she was still a child! And her elder sister, she was an adult!

"Let’s go! It’s not easy to come to Fu City; let’s take a stroll around!" Pei Qin patted her little head and went to the grain shop to fetch the donkey cart.

Sun Lizheng too was feeling shaken and wanted to hurry home. Moreover, when he had heard Pei Qin’s words, saying that Pei Qian was ’brave enough to be brought here’, had she sensed that this trip was going to be trouble before coming? And yet she had still proactively dragged him along!?

Pei Qin, with a gleeful smile, said to him, "Sun Lizheng! I’ve heard that Runing Prefecture’s chicken broth tofu skins are delicious. Since we’re here, we can’t leave without trying them, right? Let’s go have a taste!"

What else could Sun Lizheng say? He could only nod helplessly and accompany them to the street.

Chicken broth tofu skins were a specialty snack of Runing Prefecture; Pei Qin had seen them on her way there. There were quite a few places selling them on the street, so they took the donkey cart and brought the two to a small restaurant to try the chicken broth tofu skins and a few other dishes.

While the three were enjoying the chicken broth tofu skins in the restaurant, Zhang Yan had also arrived in Runing Prefecture. He was a day late, but the speed of his carriage was fast. Seeing that it was getting dark, he sent someone to the County Government Office to inquire first.
