The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

Pei Qin was an only child and grew up spoiled. Pei's Mother, when talking about Pei Qin's brilliant childhood history, would feel sentimental, "It's all thanks to your father's and my excellent genes that you didn't turn out deformed!"

As the old saying goes, 'you can tell the old by the age of three,' and more than one person predicted she might become a regular in prison.

She was always the one doing the beating, but this broken place she'd inexplicably time-traveled to, where someone grabbed her hair and hit her face was a first for her, and she just froze.

In that dazed moment, Lady Chen struck with speed, holding onto her hair with one hand, and gave her a fierce slap with the other.

Slap—

A loud smack landed harshly on Pei Qin's face.

The fiery pain on her face made Pei Qin leap up instantly, "Fuck!" By reflex, she grabbed the collar of her assailant's robe, hoisted her arm upward, executed a shoulder throw, slamming her fiercely to the ground, then followed up with a kick to her face, "The person who dares to slap me isn't born yet!"

This move, accompanied by Lady Chen's agonizing scream, stunned Lady Zhu, San Ya, Si Ya, and Lady Fang, who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Their eyes were wide with disbelief. They couldn't believe that Pei Qin had the audacity to hit Lady Chen, and had even knocked her down.

"Da Ya!" Lady Zhu howled in anger, "You've turned the world upside down!" She charged forward intending to hit her.

Caught off guard once, Pei Qin wouldn't let it happen a second time. It didn't matter if it was Lady Zhu or even Lady Fang who wanted to hit her; she would fight back just the same. In her dictionary, there was no such thing as taking a beating without retaliating.

Seeing her about to fight back against Lady Zhu, Lady Fang was alarmed, rushed over to intervene, "Da Ya! Stop!"

Lady Zhu's slap then landed heavily on her head.

Lady Fang's head jerked to the side, and without minding the pain, she hurriedly pushed and pulled Pei Qin towards the door of the side room, then turned around, "Mother! Da Ya surely didn't mean it! She just fell down from the mountain the day before yesterday and was startled!" She pushed Pei Qin inside and rushed to help Lady Chen up.

Lady Chen's pain had been feigned at first, but now it had genuinely started to hurt. She felt her entire back and chest ache acutely. What shocked her more, and was unbearable, was the audacity of this damn wretched girl, Pei Qin, to hit her!

Lady Fang moved to help her up.

Lady Chen clung to her and struggled to stand, then, without steadying herself, she landed a big slap on Lady Fang's face, "You wretch! What kind of daughter have you raised, trying to kill me!?"

Lady Fang's face was turned by the blow, and she hung her head low, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, big sister! Da Ya really didn't mean it!"

She was slapped and still apologized!? Pei Qin's expression was dark.

Lady Chen, feeling unsatisfied, slapped her again with vehemence.

Lady Fang silently endured.

After hitting Lady Fang, Lady Chen began to cry out pitifully, "I can't live this life anymore! Everything has been taken from me, even people, and I'm still supposed to be beaten daily! First by the elder, then by the younger! There's no way to go on! No way to live!"

Lady Zhu pointed at Pei Qin furiously, "You, come here, you wretched girl!"

Pei Qin approached with a grimace.

Seeing the situation, Lady Fang knew her eldest daughter was about to receive a severe beating, so she hurriedly intervened, pleadingly looking at Lady Zhu, "Mother! Da Ya just fell down from the mountain... Tomorrow..." Although San Ya, Si Ya, and San Lang were officially her husband's children, only Qinqin was the flesh and blood born from her and her husband, and she couldn't bear it!

Lady Zhu was unyielding, her eyes blazing with fury as she stared at Pei Qin, "You wretched girl! Come here and kneel!"

San Ya's eyes brimmed with tears, her face paled with fear.

Si Ya glared resentfully at Pei Qin, fuming. Now there would be hell to pay. With the eldest sister about to get a severe beating, she and her mother would have to do much more work for a long time. Their meals wouldn't be as good in the coming days, and the cotton-padded clothes for winter would be out of the question!

Pei Qin snorted coldly, her eyes seething with ferocity as she looked at Lady Zhu and stepped forward.
