Chapter 356: The Potential to be a Crooked Businessman (3)_1
Grandma Fang listened to her words, her eyes filled with sourness, "Qinqin! You are their eldest sister, supporting the whole family. You’ve suffered so much! Those who can’t help, those who have their own schemes, let’s not associate with them any more!" Even if Hui Niang was able to speak up in the Feng family, they saw Qinqin and her brother rise to fortune and got ideas, directing Hui Niang for their purposes.
Old Scholar Fang felt some emotion, "Since you’ve decided, leave it to them! However, Heaven is watching with open eyes, and there will be a reward for your efforts!"
"Ah! But..." Grandma Fang had not expected him to oppose it at home, yet after coming here, he wasn’t trying to stop it anymore, "And as for Qianqian..."
Pei Qin was a bit annoyed, "Her experience and temperament still need to be tempered!"
When Old Scholar Fang disciplined his children, if reasoning didn’t work, he often resorted to physical punishment. Pei Qian was only ten years old, but Qinqin’s good intentions would surely teach her well!
The two didn’t stay long as it was also getting late. They persuaded Pei Qin to find Pei Qian and have a good talk with her. Then, they took their pickled cabbage recipe and left.
Pei Yuan was somewhat puzzled, watching Pei Qin’s expression and calling to her, "Eldest sister..."
"With this pickled cabbage, there won’t be a next time. At least not from the Fang family." Pei Qin looked deeply into her eyes, told her to go cook, and asked her to go out and find Pei Qian.
Pei Yuan was stunned for a good while before she understood and couldn’t help but swallow her breath. Their grandfather was so astute, and yet the eldest sister dared... But after all, the pickled cabbage wasn’t given for free, as long as they benefited, that was enough! She notified her sister and then ran out to Taiping Mountain to find Pei Qian.
Lu Hai sat straight on the small stool by the stove, still wearing a cold expression, adding firewood to the bottom of the pot, watching Pei Qin brandishing the knife, chopping meat for cooking with grand gestures. Young Master Shen was even a bit afraid of her; it seemed she was truly capable, even fooling her own grandparents.
Pei Qin wouldn’t admit to deceit; she just wanted to have less trouble in the future, it was subconscious, just natural! After chopping the filling, she sliced the eggplants, made pan-fried stuffed eggplant. She also stir-fried winter melon and water spinach. In the big pot, she cooked pumpkin porridge and steamed sweet potato steam buns.
