Chapter 962 - 216: Offending Two at Once_4
Xie Yi smiled awkwardly, "These days have troubled everyone so much, and I will trouble Madam even more in the future."
Madam Zhao secretly raised an eyebrow. Although Xie Yi came from the daughter of an official’s family, she was not even half as good as Pei Qin, and she also had a brother, a significant burden. Though she might return to the Xie family to claim her inheritance, who knows if she could get it back, and even if she did, how much? After all, the Xie family was not an aristocratic family with enormous wealth.
If it were up to her, she would never let her son marry such a bride! She also had her biases; if it weren’t for Pei Qin being in charge and supporting them, she would never agree to this marriage with the Pei’s siblings. Wendong had his elder sister and Mo Heng supporting him; with such a bright future ahead, what kind of bride couldn’t he find? Why must he marry Xie Yi, a girl without a maternal home and with a burden?
Pei Wendong had already decided to marry Xie Yi, and Pei Qin had already started to treat Xie Yi like a younger sister-in-law.
After much revelry, they ate mutton and drank mutton soup, which warmed them up considerably.
In the evening, Xie Ze wanted to burn some charcoal again.
"Just put on an extra blanket, you won’t be that cold! We don’t have much charcoal to begin with, what will Sister Qin use if you burn it all!?" Xiao Yong got impatient as they had used quite a bit of charcoal for roasting meat earlier today, and now he saw him intending to heat the kang bed again.
"It’s just a little charcoal, and we have extra! It’s only shoddy cotton, stacking up the blankets makes it suffocating!" Xie Ze was also unhappy with him. It was as if he was burning his family’s charcoal! Pei Wendong was even marrying his sister, and he wouldn’t even let him burn some charcoal?
"I’ll burn a few pieces for you; go sleep on the edge of the kang." Pei Wendong was somewhat helpless.
