All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 787: Chapter 787: The Unlucky Twin Sister (16)

Spread out two layers of toilet paper, inside lies a small chicken leg, no doubt prepared by grandmother for Pei Peng.

Although this era is full of potential, every household is poor, especially in the countryside where few can eat meat daily. Eating it once a month is considered fortunate. For poorer families, they might only eat it once every six months.

The Pei Family isn’t considered poor; on the contrary, they have decent conditions in the village. Otherwise, how could Pei QianLann eat an egg every day?

”Second sister, hurry up and eat. It’s not good if someone sees,” Pei Peng said tensely, glancing around nervously; these days, anyone who sees meat will stare big-eyed.

Qiann Yan heard Pei Peng swallowing saliva and stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth, Pei Peng’s eyes widened instantly: ”I’ve eaten enough eggs in the past few days.”

Pei Peng couldn’t believe it; the family would let second sister eat eggs? Normally, wasn’t there none for second sister?

”I’ve figured it out; I’ve put in no less effort for this family, so why can’t I eat? If they don’t give, can’t I make it myself, right?”

Pei Peng nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining; second sister stood up.

He always thought second sister was a bit weak, accepting whatever the family said, but he was just a child, unable to influence adult actions.

Older sister always targeted second sister. If he ever tried to do something openly, second sister would suffer more; this was hard-earned experience.

As long as he openly helped second sister, older sister would always find ways to get him scolded, leaving him speechless, resulting in several beatings. Before his parents, he was just a disobedient child.

”Eat the chicken leg.”

”Don’t let anyone see.”

Pei QianLann hasn’t been causing trouble recently, because of the oil-spilling incident, Pei Jian Country and his wife have been looking at her unfavorably, not saving any good stuff for her. She’s resentful but doesn’t dare act.

A week before school starts, the village head came to call on Qiann Yan and also asked Pei Jian Country and his wife whether they really didn’t want to give Qiann Yan tuition and living expenses.

Pei Jian Country looked bitter: ”Village head, you really make it hard for us. We have so many mouths to feed, she wants to study, that’s one thing, but taking away a large sum, that’s pushing us over the edge.”

”Qiann Yan, are you really so heartless to leave home for that so-called education? Losing such labor for our family, how are we supposed to live?” Yang Chunhua wailed before the village head and several villagers, as if Qiann Yan going to study would starve the whole family.

Qiann Yan: ”Two pigs, eight chickens, five ducks, one cow, and two sheep at home, last year’s corn and rice...”

Before Qiann Yan could finish, Yang Chunhua screamed; wasn’t this exposing all the family’s assets?

”Go, go to your study, the things at home have nothing to do with you, hurry and leave, and don’t come back.”

Facing the gazes of the onlooking villagers, Pei Jian Country and his wife’s faces were grim, wishing they could drive Qiann Yan out of the yard.

Thinking like this, Yang Chunhua actually did it, directly taking a broom to chase her away, showing no dignity. Asking for the family’s money is worse than asking for her life; forget spending on this debt-collecting girl.

Pei Jian Country and his wife have been shameless for days; the villagers felt disdain briefly, then pulled Qiann Yan away.

”Those two are just clueless; Yan going to college is something to be proud of. If it were my family, I’d sell the pots and pans to make it happen.”

”If not...”

The village head glared at that person, patted Qiann Yan’s shoulder: ”The village has long decided to sponsor your education; no matter what, you’re the first college student from our village, you must go.”
