The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

Grandma Sun had seen the person but with the bamboo hat on, so she didn’t get a clear look. She huffed, "A face can’t fill a belly anyway! The main thing about Young Master Mo is that he has a good character, and he even saved Xiao Pei’s life!"

The villagers immediately started asking questions upon hearing this.

Grandma Sun curled her lip in the direction of Back Mountain Village, "Someone paid to take out a hit on Xiao Pei; nearly killed the lad. Luckily, Young Master Mo intervened to save him and he narrowly escaped death!"

"What?! A hitman for an assassination!?"

For the common villagers, such matters seemed far too distant. Zhao Junchao and Zhang Shiqian had been arrested previously, accused of involvement in the plot to assassinate Pei Qin, but most people didn’t really believe such an assassination plot actually existed; it felt uncertain to them. They had never imagined that it would really happen again.

"Saving a life warrants marrying him. Xiao Pei and Young Master Mo, it’s like a match made in heaven!" Grandma Sun said with a smile.

The few people crowding around all agreed with energetic nods.

Lady Zou watched from inside the house and sighed at her silent brother, "You’ve been engaged for a year now. You’re certainly not young anymore. You should give up and just get married!"

Zou Xing’s betrothal had been arranged by Old Man Zou and Grandma Zou, and since Pei Qin’s situation was still pending, Zou Xing had been reluctant to marry, and so the matter had dragged on until now.

"You can only be headstrong for so long, you really need to get married soon, or it won’t look good!" Lady Zou said to him.

Zou Xing stood up, "I’m going home for a bit."
