Si Ya pursed her lips and said nothing, though she was somewhat skeptical that Pei Qin truly had their best interests at heart. She would buy whatever Si Ya wanted to eat, without ever caring about not having saved enough money, not giving a thought to what they would do when they ran out of provisions for everyone!
Pei Wendong came over with some candy, holding it out to Si Ya, "Eldest sister asked me to bring this to you."
Si Ya's eyes flickered with a stubborn defiance, "I don't want it!"
Lady Fang sighed. It seemed she would have to teach her daughter to be sensible.
Pei Qin put the bones to stew, then went to chop wood. With some free time, it would also be good to chop the thicker logs to use for charcoal burning. According to her, selling just two bags would be enough to last through the winter. Their home didn't have much firewood, and once it was made into charcoal, they would have none left for burning. When it snowed, they would have to go to the mountain to chop more.
