The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 588: Provoking Little Chili (1)_1

"Cousin Qian!" Fang Liuming looked at the person who had tripped and fallen with a stunned expression and hurried over to help her up.

Pei Qian felt a sour numbness in her nose and tears burst out immediately; her ears also buzzed. As she got up with Fang Liuming’s help, her head spun violently, and darkness overcame her vision. A warm flow trickled down from her nose.

Seeing her condition, Fang Liuming turned deathly pale, "Cousin Qian, what’s wrong with you?"

Pei Yuan was a step slower coming out of the room. She saw her sister lying there dazed, blood flowing unceasingly from her nostrils, and cried out in alarm, "Third sister!"

Pei Qin and Mo Heng, as well as Grandma Fang and Lady Yu, also rushed out anxiously.

Fang Liuming, dispelling any concerns about impropriety, swiftly picked up Pei Qian and carried her into the room.

"Go fetch the doctor!" Pei Qin called out loudly.

Zhang Gengshan, limping, turned around and ran out immediately.

The doctor arrived quickly.

After examining Pei Qian, he confirmed that she had bumped her nose in the fall. The nasal bone wasn’t broken, and there was no serious damage. He prescribed some medicine, "Your nose will hurt for a few days. Make sure not to bump it again."

Pei Qian was already in so much pain that her tears flowed freely; the thought of touching her nose was unbearable.

Zhang Gengshan took the prescription and went with the doctor to get the medicine.

Fang Liuming watched Pei Qian regretfully from the side of the kang bed, "Is the pain still severe?"

"It’s all your fault..." Pei Qian started to retort but inhaled sharply from the pain, and her eyes filled with tears once more.

Pei Qin let out a sigh towards the ceiling, "Let her rest on her own!" What a great outcome: she tripped over herself while trying to escape and even broke her own nose.

Now was not the time to ask about it.

Grandma Fang and Lady Yu consoled Pei Qian, telling her to rest well before returning to the main room.

Pei Yuan stayed behind to keep her company, "You heard all about what happened just now, right, Third sister?"

Remembering it, Pei Qian’s expression soured, "What if I heard it!"

"Then what do you think of Cousin Liuming..."

Before she could finish, Pei Qian responded indignantly, "I would never want to marry into their family!"

"I know! But it’s not just about which family, you know. Cousin Liuming is mild-mannered and more accommodating. He’s also tall and graceful, a Scholar, and with future accolades, his prospects are limitless. Many girls would vie for such a husband!" Pei Yuan analyzed for her, "As for the Fang family, our grandfather is a wise man, and our grandmother is nice, too, and they both treat the younger generation well. Auntie is even better; she definitely won’t be the type to make her daughters-in-law suffer. It’s just that Uncle is a bit crafty, lacks clarity, but he isn’t the head of the family."

"I disagree! It doesn’t matter what they’re like; I wouldn’t want to enter their family! Didn’t you hear that eldest sister also disagrees?" Pei Qian gave her a dismissive glance.

Pei Yuan chuckled, "Eldest sister just doesn’t want to marry a close relative; she believes that marrying within the family could lead to offspring with defects. Her disagreement... seems like a temper tantrum! If you really analyze it, Cousin Liuming is a very good choice."

Pei Qian pouted, "If they want to marry me, maybe they just want me to earn money and support their family!"

"Tell me then, do you think Cousin Liuming has ulterior motives in wanting to marry you? Does the Fang family have ulterior motives towards us?" Pei Yuan asked with a smile.

"Who knows!" Pei Qian fell silent for a moment, replying irritably.

Seeing her reaction, knowing she wasn’t ready to concede and admit that they didn’t have ulterior motives, Pei Yuan didn’t press further. She told her to rest a while, went out to prepare the medicine, and got ready to cook.

Pei Qin was almost driven to distraction by Fang Liuming’s persistence.

Seeing that she was about to lose her temper, Lady Yu gestured to Fang Liuming to say no more; otherwise, if he spoke too definitively, it would be difficult to change course later.

Jiujiu was hungry and was brought over by her wet nurse.

Holding her daughter, Pei Qin went to nurse her, no longer wanting to pay him any mind.
