The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 16 - Lending You the Coat (1)_1

If this damned little wretch wasn’t home, and Qian Dog’s family chose another girl, the two acres of land they promised would go to someone else!

“Also, weren’t you unable to get out of bed?

Now you run faster than a rabbit!” Pei Qin huffed coldly and turned to leave.

Lady Chen became anxious at the sight.

She had specifically looked at a few other girls being considered for Qian Dog and none were as good-looking as this wretched girl.

A successful matchmaking was certain if only the meeting took place, but if they refused and angered Qian Dog’s family, they might withdraw their proposal.

Lady Zhu stepped forward and grabbed her, “You damned girl, stand right there!

If you dare to leave today, I’ll break your legs!”

Lady Chen turned her head and glared at Lady Fang with hateful eyes, pressuring her, “Second brother’s wife, are you just going to stand there and watch, doing nothing?

She doesn’t want to marry into such a good family, do you actually support her eloping with that Zhang Dalang!?

Grandma Zhang can’t even stand the sight of her!

She wants to marry into their family, no chance!

Change her person, and not one would marry her from your house!”

Lady Fang’s eyes reddened, her heart resisted the idea of letting her eldest daughter marry Qian Dog, who already had children from a wife who had passed.

Though they would be fed and clothed, the man had a history of loss and children of his own, which troubled her greatly.

However, Dalang had yet to come to propose, and his family looked down upon theirs, and Grandma Zhang…

“Qinqin…” After much hesitation, Lady Fang called out to Pei Qin.

Pei Qin turned her head to look at Lady Chen, her eyes narrowing dangerously.

She shook off Lady Zhu and twisted back around.

She wanted to see what these two old women were up to!

Seeing her so obedient, Lady Fang couldn’t hold back her tears.

Lady Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a glance with Lady Zhu, and then they went back to her daughter Pei Wenlee’s room, taking out a pink embroidered jacket to throw at Pei Qin, “Here, borrow this jacket for a bit, go change into it!”

Pei Qin glanced at it with disdain, “I don’t like pink!”

Pei Wenlee had only two decent pieces of clothing, one of which she had worn away, the other was specifically left by Lady Chen for Pei Qin to wear.

Lady Zhu was about to start cursing again.

“If you want to sell me for a good price, why don’t you dress me up properly?” Pei Qin looked at her with a sharp, scornful gaze.

“You…” Lady Zhu went pale with anger.

The crowd outside watching the commotion hadn’t left yet, and Lady Zhu, grinding her teeth, grabbed the jacket from Lady Chen’s hand and threw it over Pei Qin’s head, “Get changed into this now!”

“Eldest sister…” Si Ya called out in displeasure.

Pei Qin took the clothes off her head, gave Lady Chen a look with a slight twist of her mouth, and holding the clothes, went back to her room to change.

Pei Qin had only worn decent clothes before she was one, and after her Scholar father died, she had never worn anything nice again.

Although she was older than Pei Wenlee, she had always had to pick up Pei Wenlee’s unwanted old clothes.

Once she put on the fine cotton, pink embroidered jacket, her delicate little face gained an extra touch of charm.
