Chapter 65 An Upright Youth

Huang Caicai also glanced at Pei Wenwen with disdain, then slung her basket over her shoulder and followed behind Qi Yunran and the others.

When they reached the fork in the road, one path led to the village, while the other led to Qi Yunran's haunted house in the back mountain.

After some hesitation, I decided to go back first.

After Qi Yunran returned home with Pei Yuanjun.

Pei Yuanjun took the initiative to clean the mushrooms, removing the roots and dirt, and then placed them in a winnowing basket to dry.

Pei Yuanjun then turned his gaze to Qi Yunran, noticing that her mood had not been affected by the villagers.

I felt a little relieved.

"Ranran, did they bully you?"

Qi Yunran looked at Pei Yuanjun defiantly: "Are you going to avenge me?"

Pei Yuanjun smiled faintly: "If my wife requests it, I will certainly comply."

"Forget it then! How could they possibly bully me? I think they're the ones who're about to be tortured to tears."

After all, wild honey is very valuable.

According to the market prices in their town, two pieces that big would usually sell for around two hundred taels.

There were twelve people who entered the mountain today, eleven if she is not counted.

Including her, there are eight households in total, divided by household.

If they sold it for two hundred taels, each household would receive about thirty taels of silver.

If they were to give her a share, they would have to set aside four taels out of the thirty taels for her.

Four taels of silver is more than half a year's living expenses for a family in the village!
These families will hate Pei Wenwen to death now.

"Oh right! Didn't you go back to see your sister? How is she?"

“She went back,” Pei Yuanjun said calmly.

"Oh! So suddenly? In the past, didn't you stay at home for ten days or half a month waiting for your brother-in-law to pick you up?" Although, she always went back by herself.

Sometimes the original owner envied Pei Shuya, who could go home and be comforted by her mother when she was wronged, and also had places to go.

Unlike the original owner, she not only had no one to care for her, but also no family to return to.

Her mother remarried and moved to a place fifty miles away.

They sold the original owner to the Pei family, took the money, and left, never once visiting her again.

"I was the one who told her to go back first."

"She listens to you so much? Your mother agrees too?"

Seeing that Qi Yunran seemed quite surprised, he explained, "She's been back for a few days now, shouldn't she go back? After all, she has her own family. It's not right for her to stay at her parents' house instead of going back after a fight with her husband."

Qi Yunran was somewhat surprised; Pei Yuanjun's values ​​were quite sound: "So you just kicked her out like that and she wasn't angry?"

"She's a married woman, yet she's always meddling in her family's affairs, causing unrest at home. It's her fault; if others saw it, they'd think the Pei family had a problem with their upbringing."

If she genuinely wants to come back to see her mother and relax, I welcome her. But if she comes back to cause trouble, then let her go back first!

When Qi Yunran heard him say that, a thought suddenly occurred to her: was he not protecting his own and speaking up for her again?
"So you've offended her? What if she doesn't come back next time?"

"The Pei family's gates are open, and she is free to come and go as she pleases. But the condition is that she does not do anything to disrupt the harmony of our family."

"Not bad, very progressive ideas." No wonder he dotes on the original female lead.

Pei Yuanjun was a talented and resourceful man who had his own opinions, was not blindly filial, and could distinguish right from wrong.

Men who act with their own set of rules and methods were truly rare in ancient times.

He seems to be an upright and thoughtful young man!
Only then did he feel relieved enough to take out the wild ginseng from his arms.

That way, she wouldn't have to worry about him stealing her money.

Why would an upright and principled man steal from others?
Pei Yuanjun was stunned by the wild ginseng in Qi Yunran's hand.
