Early in the morning after a simple breakfast, Pei Qin led Pei Wendong out of the house.
In view of Si Ya's strong protests, Lady Fang only gave Pei Qin five wen money.
Pei Qin didn't mind the small amount, and with a few copper coins, the siblings left the village.
Zhang Dalang, carrying two bundles of firewood, also left the village. Seeing her taking her brother out, apparently to the market, his lips moved slightly.
Pei Qin had long since forgotten him, merely glancing over before continuing on her way.
Zhang Dalang's gaze dimmed, his heart aching unbearably. Unwilling to elope with him, she didn't even acknowledge him. Seeing that she acted like she didn't know him, could she really detest him that much!?
It was Xiao Pei who gave him a couple more glances, but seeing that Pei Qin didn't say anything and continued walking forward with big strides, he quickly ran to catch up.
