The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1134 - 259: Sinner of All Ages

Jiujiu was also just six years old, and wouldn’t turn seven until the year was over. When a child’s disposition changes, it always shows on their face.

So, at mealtime, when Pei Yuan also asked worriedly, Jiujiu told them about last night’s nightmare, "I dreamt of mother on the battlefield, fighting the enemy, and she almost got killed by the enemy forces several times. But the common people outside knew mother was a woman, and they wanted to kill mother along with The Imperial Court! Mother is General Pei, the legendary deity general!"

Pei Qin’s heart skipped a beat as she rubbed her little head, "Silly girl! The common people admire mother even more now, for mother is Deity General Pei Hansan! The Imperial Court wouldn’t dare do anything to mother! Have you forgotten that we still have to make bombs?"

Jiujiu clenched her tiny fists inside her sleeves, but her little face broke into a smile, "That’s why, starting today, I too want to learn about making and firing cannons!" She wanted to carry on mother and father’s ambitions! To protect mother and father! To protect her little sister!

"Hey! Ambitions that reach far and wide!" Pei Qin hugged her small shoulders, "Learning to make cannonballs isn’t something you can do overnight, and it requires foundational knowledge. For now, start learning the basics. When you are ten, mother will teach you everything!"

"No!" Mother wouldn’t wait until she was ten! With her hands pinched tight and her little face tense, Jiujiu disagreed, "Always saying I’m dumb, saying I’m small, but I can learn anything! I can even do accounting now!"

Seeing her proudly pouting, Pei Yuan nodded with a smile, "Indeed, Jiujiu can keep accounts now! And she’s quick with calculations too!"

"That’s right!" Jiujiu humphed.

As Pei Qin watched her stubbornly insist, she glanced at Mo Heng. This Little Radish looked like her father, and she thought she might not have inherited his temperament, but this stubbornness was now a close match!

Mo Heng gave a smile, "If she wants to learn, let her try. If she can stick with it, she’ll learn; if not, it’ll just be for fun."

Jiujiu clung to her arm, acting coquettishly, "Mother! Mother, please teach me!"

"You’re still too young!" Pei Qin swayed her arm and body along with her.

Suddenly, tears brimmed in Jiujiu’s eyes and started to fall heavily, "I want to learn! I want to learn! I want to learn!"

In the past, even though she often faked tears when she wanted to do something, this time Pei Qin felt a sudden pang of heartache looking at her, and seeing that Mo Heng thought she could be taught, she nodded reluctantly, "Alright, alright! Mother will teach you!" The child is behaving more and more like a brat!

Only then did Jiujiu wipe her tears away and become happy, boasting to her younger brother and sister, "After I learn how to make cannonballs, I’ll invent a super bomb! And you will all be my underlings!"

Pei Qin’s mouth twitched, "You better not cause trouble outside!" Raising a snake at home, recruiting underlings outside, how old is she!

Jiujiu laughed hee hee hee at her.

"You’ll definitely be worse than your father when you grow up!" Pei Qin glared at her. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Who says! I’m so cute, even if I do something bad, no one would call me bad!" Jiujiu rubbed her own delicate and exquisite little face.

"It’s not just about having good looks to get away with things! There’s also a saying, ’A viperous beauty’!" Pei Qin patted her, urging her to hurry up and eat.

Jiujiu drank half a bowl of sheep’s milk and then looked up, "I’m a little beauty now, and I’ve raised snakes, so maybe I should get some scorpions too! Then I’ll be the viperous little beauty!"

Pei Qin choked on a piece of bun.

Mo Heng quickly pounded on her back.

After taking a sip of sheep’s milk, Pei Qin kicked him, "Take care of your daughter! What will she become when she grows up!?"

"She takes after you." Mo Heng served her small wontons.

Pei Qin made a face, "Is my thought process that off the rails?"

"Jiujiu is not off the rails at all! Our Jiujiu is doing great!" Pei Qian couldn’t stand the constant negative talk about Jiujiu. She, the younger auntie, had taken care of and looked after Jiujiu since she was little!

"That’s right! I’m doing great!" Jiujiu hummed proudly.

"I’m doing great too!" Xixi also chimed in.

Pei Yuan suggested, "Hurry and eat. It’s going to get cold!"

The family chatted and made a ruckus as they ate. Pei Qin tidied up, preparing to go to The Imperial Court; this time, she was determined to resign from her post!

Mo Heng accompanied her, and they both got into the carriage and left the estate.

Fang Hui and Feng Shouxing had been waiting outside since early morning, coming over bright and early. As soon as the carriage emerged, they immediately stopped it, "Pei Qin! Qinqin!"

Feng Wei reined in the horses, bringing the carriage to a halt.

Pei Qin lifted the carriage curtain.

Fang Hui and Feng Shouxing immediately came up with beaming smiles, "Qinqin! Qinqin! We finally see you! Those guards wouldn’t even let us in!"

Pei Qin had not heard about Fang Hui and the others coming over and turned her head to look at Mo Heng, then turned back to ask Fang Hui, "What’s the matter?" They were so angry last time, and now they’re all smiles again!?
