Yu Tang was gnawing on pig's trotters.

She started out using chopsticks, but later found that chopsticks were useless as pig's trotters would fall from time to time, and the people next to her were chewing them with their hands. She looked around and found that people around her were drinking and chatting, and no one would notice a little girl like her who was eating with her father and brothers. So she felt relieved and quietly put down her chopsticks and used her hands instead.

With the help of her hands, she was able to chew the tendons cleanly.

Pei Yan was looking at Yu Tang's hand.

Yu Tang's hands were very beautiful. They were white and delicate, with long fingers. If they were a little longer, they would be plump, and if they were a little less, they would be thin. There was not a single flaw.

But at this moment, these beautiful hands were covered with red chili powder, greasy and reflecting light.

Like a bright pearl covered with dust, or white jade covered with dirt, it makes people feel uncomfortable no matter how they look at it.

Pei Yan started to stare at Yu Tang without even noticing it.

Yu Tang was chewing pig tendons contentedly when he felt a strong gaze falling on him.

When she looked up, she saw Pei Yan's cold but angry face.

Yu Tang was stunned.

Why does he see himself this way?

She didn't do anything just now!

Is it because she has bad table manners?

Or was she dressed inappropriately?

Yu Tang looked down at himself.

Then she was shocked to find a drop of oil on the front of her lapel.

How could this happen?

Yu Tang felt that he was a little confused.

She held up the pig's trotter and looked at Pei Yan, feeling that she should explain a few things to him.

But before she could open her mouth, Pei Yan indifferently looked away.

Yu Tang blinked.

Pei Yan, do you dislike her?

Yu Tang felt very aggrieved.

Even horses can stumble, and people can make mistakes... She hadn't eaten properly all day, so how could she restrain herself as if she hadn't seen anything when she saw such delicious food? Besides, this was a night market, and eating at a night market was all about eating to your heart's content, wasn't it?

The delicious food that she had just been astonished at suddenly seemed like chewing wax to her.

Why!

She knew that she and the third elder of the Pei family clashed, and nothing good would happen if they met, not to mention her image in front of him!

Yu Tang was complaining to herself when Pei Yan suddenly turned around, frowned, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and threw it in front of her, saying, "Wipe it!"

She was stunned.

Yu Yuan, who was pouring wine, and Yu Wen and Zhou Zijin, who were drinking, all looked over when they heard the noise.

Yu Wen and Zhou Zijin laughed, and Yu Wen pointed at the corner of Yu Tang's mouth and said, "There are scallions."

Yu Tang's eyes widened: "Dad, is there anyone like you?"

Yu Wen was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with me?" Then he tapped the corner of his mouth, signaling Yu Tang to wipe his mouth quickly.

With so many outsiders around, can't you tell her in private?

Yu Tang was furious. She felt that the handkerchief Pei Yan threw in front of her was like needle felt. Not to mention using it, it was uncomfortable just to look at it.

She took out her handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth fiercely, then wiped her hands and left the white handkerchief on the table.

Pei Yan breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better.

Yu Wen and Zhou Zijin laughed twice and put the matter behind them. They continued to drink their wine and talk. Yu Yuan, who was holding the wine bottle beside them, listened with a smile and looked very interested.

Yu Tang glanced at Pei Yan and took a big bite of the pig's trotter.

Pei Yan's eyes fell on the front of her clothes.

The corner of Yu Tang's mouth twitched.

Is he done yet?

Aren't gentlemen supposed to look at what is inappropriate? Couldn't he just pretend he didn't see it? Pretend he didn't know?

The villain in Yu Tang's heart was so angry that he stomped his feet.

She knew that he was a narrow-minded, nitpicking person. Apart from anything else, she had met him several times, but who had he ever smiled at?

And he is self-righteous.

The first time I saw her, I thought she was a scammer; the second time I saw her, I thought she was a liar; the third time I saw her, I thought she was a water-loving poplar... Thinking of this, Yu Tang felt like a ball punctured by a needle.

Anyway, she was probably not a good person in his eyes!

Besides, they are very different. Even if she is not a good person, what does it have to do with him?

Yu Tang thought about it and suddenly became happy again.

Why should she be so worried? It was just a coincidence that she met Pei Yan more often during this period. In her previous life, she had lived in Lin'an City for more than 20 years and had never met Pei Yan.

It can be seen that she is living well without Pei Yan.

So what does it matter what Pei Yan thinks of her?

Why should she waste her emotions on someone with whom she will have no connection?

Yu Tang felt that he had figured it out.

She took a deep breath and started chewing the pig's trotter again.

The food at Guan Sanniang's house is so delicious!

If someone mentions it next time, she will definitely tell them that Guan Sanniang's family not only has grilled fish but also pig's trotters. Of course, their mixed noodles are also very delicious.

Yu Tang regained his previous optimism and open-mindedness.

Pei Yan's eyes almost popped out.

How can this little girl be so heartless? She doesn't even listen to what I say.

Her hands are covered in oil from eating. How can she look like a girl at all?

Having let go of the burden in his heart, Yu Tang no longer had any burden.

Not only did she gnaw on pig's trotters with her hands, she also stood at a roadside stall, drank wine and ate dumplings, ate candied paintings while walking, tasted donkey meat, and bet on odd and even numbers... Pei Yan could glare at her as long as he wanted, she was not a member of the Pei family, and if she wanted to get pocket money from him, she had to act according to his mood.

That night she was happier than ever.

This is the happiness of having both parents, right?

Yu Tang supported his slightly tipsy father and thought happily.

After returning to Lin'an this time, it would probably be difficult for her to go out again, let alone go out and play with her father like she is now.

Will it be hard to have such happy times in the future?

Yu Tang and her father and brother walked slowly on Xiaohe Street. The evening breeze blew on her face, bringing with it the coolness of early autumn, making people who had just gone through a long, hot summer feel refreshed.

Extreme joy leads to sorrow.

Yu Tang returned to the inn, washed up and lay down. Not long after that, he began to have a stomachache.

Her heart skipped a beat, and the scene of Pei Yanren sitting on a night market stall with smoke rising like Bai Xue emerged in her mind.

Did she have an upset stomach? !

Yu Tang covered his stomach which was aching more and more and immediately went to knock on Yu Yuan's door.

Yu Yuan put on his clothes and went to find a doctor for her.

Yu Wen was sobered up by the shock.

But it was the middle of the night and they were outsiders, so it was not easy to find a doctor!

Yu Wen had no choice but to knock on the door of Pei’s pawnshop.

The person in charge of Pei's pawnshop is Tong the Second Manager, the younger brother of Manager Tong.

He knew Yu Wen, and upon hearing this, he immediately went to find a note that Pei Yan had left in the shop for emergency use, and said, "Doctor Wang Baiyu happens to be in Hangzhou. I'll go and ask him to come over and see Miss Yu."

Yu Wen thanked him profusely, then slipped on his shoes and followed Tong Er, the shopkeeper.

Yu Tang covered his face with the quilt.

Master Pei San’s business card...won’t he know about it tomorrow?

Yu Tang felt that he couldn't face anyone anymore.
