Chapter 467: Even Became a Father (1)_1
Qian Wanxiu had people secretly monitoring Sister Peiqin and her siblings. There was no need to pay special attention to Pei Qin herself since, despite appearing brash and mindless, she was actually quite shrewd! She knew all the tricks in the book! Better to focus on Pei Qian, and provoke her when necessary. Keeping an eye on the other two siblings as well, Pei Qin might be cunning, but with her fiery temper, it would be easy once they found the right opportunity.
Every day, Pei Qian busied herself with making kimchi. When in a bad mood, she dreamed of monopolizing the kimchi business, gathering all the cabbages around, and the workshop was filled to the brim with cabbages that had been delivered, yet she was still not satisfied.
A merchant caravan passing through Yuanyang County brought the news that Ms. Liangsan, who had successfully grown double-cropping rice, had been ennobled as County Magistrate.
Sister Peiqin and her siblings received a reward from The Imperial Court for growing sweet potatoes, and the Pai Building had been constructed by officials dispatched by The Imperial Court. It was a grand and glorious sight, invoking the envy of many.
But it hadn’t been long before a young lady from a prominent family achieved success with double-cropping rice and was made County Magistrate. The same achievements led to different honors; it genuinely seemed unfair.
The news spread like wildfire throughout Yuanyang County and even reached Taiping Town.
Many felt injustice on their behalf, but that was The Imperial Court—not something ordinary folk like them could complain about. An ill-considered word might cost them their heads.
When people looked at Sister Peiqin and her siblings now, their gazes had changed, and some tried to cozy up to them by expressing sympathy.
