Chapter 1555: Torment (1)
Ever since Pei Xiaoxia married Yang Baixiang, she moved to the county town and took over this Pancake Fruit Shop. With no outsiders harassing her, life became much more comfortable.
The couple also managed the shop with great care and diligence.
For the first time in her many years, Pei Xiaoxia felt that her life had direction and purpose. She didn’t worry about being beaten or sold, and she had meat to eat at every meal.
Although Yang Baixiang’s leg had not healed, Xinxin assured that it would definitely be cured, it would just take time.
And truth be told, Yang Baixiang was a good person and treated her exceptionally well. If it weren’t for his injured leg, she would never have had a chance at this marriage. So even if his leg never healed and he remained lame, she was content.
However, she underestimated the shamelessness of the Pei family. The small Juan Family member actually came looking for her in the county town.
At first, the small Juan Family member arrived looking pitiful, seeking out her daughter. Considering that this was her birth mother, and not wanting to cause a scene, Pei Xiaoxia didn’t have the heart to turn her away. Instead, she gave her two taels of silver, which she had saved up herself.
She later told Yang Baixiang about it, and he didn’t blame her.
Thinking that the silver would keep the Pei family from returning, who knew that just after half a month, they came back again. This time, Pei Xiaoxia had no silver left, so she refused them.
The small Juan Family member then cried tragically, claiming they were truly struggling to survive. In the end, Xiaoxia gave her another tael of silver and made it clear that she was not to come back again.
Despite agreeing nicely, it was only a few days before the small Juan Family member came back. This time, she even wanted to move into the shop.
Pei Xiaoxia knew that her previous leniency had caused trouble, so she firmly stated that she had no money left.
