Chapter 131. Hero or coward
Seeing that their son was beaten so badly that even his mother couldn't recognize him, Wei Family's couple thanked Su Family despite feeling heartbroken. They immediately arranged for someone to send a generous gift to Su Family, thanking Su Family for their help in saving their son.
"My son, what kind of insane beast actually beat you up to this degree!" Mrs. Wei only had this one precious son. She raised him with gold and jade since he was young. She couldn't bear to lift a finger of him, so how could she expect him to be beaten to this point? How could she not be sad?
"I think it's because you normally pamper him until he's spoiled. He doesn't study properly. Nor can he help me in business. He only knows how to play with cats and dogs. The other party is already merciless for not killing him!" Master Wei didn't like this idle Eldest Son the most. Now seeing him being beaten and sent back like this, he hated him even more: "Clearly, you are the Eldest Brother, but don't act like one at all. It's enough that you can't set an example for your younger brothers. All he knows is to embarrass the family. Sooner or later, I'm going to die from anger because of you!"
"Master! Da Lang has been beaten up like this and you still blame him!" Mrs. Wei's complexion became even uglier when she heard him mention the two sons born to that vixen. The vixen happened to know how to act and made Master let those lowly things study. What's there to study! Children born to prostitutes from brothels were still lowly things no matter how much they studied. Could it be possible for them to become a phoenix? "A child born to a lowly person is a lowly person. How can they be compared to my Da Lang?"
"Ignorant stupid woman! Just keep spoiling him then. It's his luck that he was saved today. Wait until someday he gets beaten to death, then you'll be happy!" Master Wei was so angry with this stupid woman that he was about to get internal damage. So he simply walked away and couldn't be bothered with this mess.
Pitiful Wei Da Lang only wanted to be a hero who saved the beauty. He never wanted to fail to steal a chicken, which instead ate up his bait. But he didn't dare to tell his parents the truth of being beaten until ribs broken by Su Family's tigress. For fear that his father would look down on him even more after knowing the truth, he had to swallow this bitter fruit by himself.
In the Sujiayan restaurant, You Zhu was in such a good mood as linked her eldest sister's arm and refused to let her go as soon as she came in. She chirped about her 'great achievements': "Eldest Sister, you didn't see. That Wei Da Lang is so skinny. From one glance, one can tell he doesn't have a bit of flesh on him. And he wants to be a hero saving the beauty. From what I see, more like a coward! I just punched him lightly and he fell to the ground screaming. Truly useless!"
Being pestered to the point she couldn't work, You Jin sent the person in charge of Sujiayan out. She could only free up the time to listen to Third Younger Sister's story: "So you beat him up and sent him back ?"
This You Zhu became more and more lawless. Even brought the guards behind her back to deal with Wei Da Lang: "Aren't you afraid that Wei Da Lang will retaliate against you in the future?"
You Zhu pouted her lips. She didn't believe that coward would dare to come to her for revenge! "What is there to be afraid of? If he dares to come, I'll give him another good sorting!"
She waved her little fist. Slightly bragging, she declared "One know, my fist isn't a vegetarian!"
"Forget it. This time, let's leave it at that. From the start, Wei Da Lang was the one who plotted and was in the wrong first. It's alright to teach him a lesson." You Jin sighed. Among so many younger sisters in the family, You Zhu had the hottest temper. She can't stand to suffer any loss at all. It was fine with her watching her. At least she would listen to her words. But if she's not by her side, don't know what earth-shattering things will happen! The white and slender index finger poked You Zhu's bang-covered forehead and said: "However you. Go back and receive the punishment from Leader Guard. Increase horse stance by half an hour every day for a period of one month."
"Eldest Sister!" Before You Zhu could rejoice from hearing the first half, she was shocked by the second half of Eldest Sister's words. She began to act like a baby while holding her arm: "I'm not in the wrong! I was returning a tooth for a tooth. Why do you have to punish me! Eldest Sister~~~"
You Jin felt uncomfortable from her shaking. So she quickly halted her and said: "Don't act cute. If you keep pestering, it'll be an hour."
This little girl was getting more and more sly now. If she doesn't give her temper a good grinding, she might become more and more lawless in the future.
Seeing Eldest Sister's reaction, You Zhu knew that she couldn't escape this catastrophe. Her little mouth pouted high. She mentally put another notch over that damned Wei Da Lang's head. Poor Wei Da Lang. It took a good few months to heal his bones. Since then, he was beaten violently for no reason from time to time when he went out on the street. But that's all in the future.
Back to the present, the time sequence had entered the spring March. The sixth day of March was You Yin's fifteenth birthday. So it was naturally another bustling scene.
Han Li, who specially rushed back from Chaxiang, gave You Yin the white jade hairpin he had prepared a long time ago as a present. After You Yin came to age, Mrs. Su mentioned the two's marriage once again: "You Yin has come of age. It's time the wedding to be prepared, right?"
Han Li had been busy in Chaxiang for the past two years. The two years of tempering have made Han Li's temperament more stable. It went without saying Mrs. Su more and more satisfied with him.
"You Yin is only fifteen. Isn't it too young?" You Jin sat beside Mrs. Su. She moved her neck slightly. It had been too long since she had exercised. Now she busied away the whole day, she couldn't take it.
Mrs. Su didn't think so and replied: "Look at the girls in Wuliqiao. Which one didn't get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen? You Yin is fine. While you, you will be sixteen soon and still don't want to check out marriage. It can't be that you really want to remove your hair and become a nun?" Mrs. Su started to have a headache when she thought of the eldest daughter's marriage. And Eldest daughter happened to be the most independent person. If she didn't want to, there was nothing she could do about her.
"We're talking about You Yin. How come it ends up being about me?" You Jin choked a bit from Mrs. Su's sudden change of topic. She quickly picked up her cup to drink, not wanting to discuss this topic with Mrs. Su.
Seeing her daughter's flushing face from being choked, Mrs. Su sighed in her heart and asked, "You Jin, tell Mother honestly. You still haven't let go of Gentleman Xiao, right?"
"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough..." If it was helplessness earlier, You Jin was now too embarrassed to show her face.
Mrs. Su didn't expect her daughter to have such a big reaction. While reaching out to gently pat her on the back, she continued to speak with melancholy: "Even if you don't say, Mother knows you thought for Gentleman Xiao. But Gentleman Xiao is gone now. You can't keep this thought for the rest of your life, can you?" Although Gentleman Xiao was indeed a rare good child and his mother was also a kind mistress of the house, Gentleman Xiao was dead now. Daughter was only sixteen. She can't safeguard this feeling and live by herself for the rest of her life, right?
"Mother, it's not for this reason." You Jin didn't know when Mrs. Su became so 'unshy' about discussing relationship issues with her. Now that Xiao Lin Yu was mentioned. He was like the white moonlight of a girl's first love. Since they missed it, then let it be. There were times, she could still recall the temperature of his hand when it touched her cheek in her night's dream. But now it was a different journey between humans and ghosts. She can't stage a relationship between humans and ghosts, right?
You Jin had a lot of thoughts in her heart, but she didn't tell Mrs. Su Family all these things. She just said: "Mother, you can't force things like feelings. If Daughter meets someone I like in the future, I will definitely tell Mother." The implication was to tell Mrs. Su not to act too hastily.
Mrs. Su misunderstood her daughter's meaning, thinking that she was still stuck in an old feeling and couldn't extricate herself. But seeing her reluctance to say more, she could only sigh lightly: "Forget it. You are big now and have your own thoughts. Mother can't govern you much. Mother just hopes that you can be well."
Sujiayan's business was booming. The spice and gouache shop started by Mrs. Han and You Bao opened smoothly.
Yue Wen Sheng brothers were still living in Su Family. Every day, they studied and practiced calligraphy with old Teacher Chen and had made great progress in the year or so.
"Today, Teacher said that we can try the exam out this year." After dinner, Yue Wen Sheng shyly told Mrs. Han about this matter. With his hands behind his back and his head hanging at a loss, he meekly looked up at Mrs. Han.
After listening to her son's words, Mrs. Han raised her head in surprise. Her eyes lighted up slightly: "Really?!"
Mrs. Han knew her son's personality. Although everything was fine living in the second branch's house for the past year, Eldest Son was the person with the most backbone. Although he was grateful for second branch's care, he didn't want to freeload in other people's homes like this. Therefore, Eldest Son had been straining to study. She never imagined that this year he will be able to give it a try. Although Eldest Son had studied for a few years in the early years, he had stopped for more than a year in the middle. One can imagine how hard it was for Eldest Son!
"Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely gain rank in one fell swoop and be filial to you!" Yue Wen Sheng clenched his fists with both hands. Eager for Mrs. Han's affirmation, he earnestly and solemnly looked up at Mrs. Han.
Mrs. Han's eyes were slightly red. She patted Eldest Son's shoulder in relief and responded, "Mother believes that Wen Sheng will definitely get a rank!"
Unknowingly, Eldest Son had grown to be half a head taller than herself. Mrs. Han's heart was gratified and emotional at the same time. The little white jade dumpling back then had now grown into a young man who will soon be able to establish a family.
Thinking of the recent troubles, Mrs. Han decided to settle the matter by herself. It was already the beginning of March. Tongsheng's exam will not be until April at the latest. This bit of mess shouldn't affect Wen Sheng's mood of taking the exam.
Yue Wen Sheng brothers' household registration had been re-registered last year. Although their surname was still Yue, they entered the new household registration with Mrs. Han as the head of the household. You Jin had spent money in the yamen to change the origins of Mrs. Han and her sons. They have changed from Yue clan in Dingyuan to Yue clan in Luohe Prefecture. They can be regarded as completely drawing a line with Yue Family.
Hearing that Yue Wen Sheng was going to participate in Tongsheng's exam, Lizheng He Hao issued him a household registration certificate without any comment and found a guarantor for him. Su Family directly sent someone to deliver the letter of guarantee to the yamen. While the application for the exam must be completed within two days.
Chapter 132. All because of snacks
"Although your younger cousin brother isn't very old, he is steady and mature. He should be able to pass it in one go." He Hao came to deliver the letter of guarantee to Su Family in person and was sitting and chatting with You Jin in the parlor of the main courtyard. Right now, He Family's life was getting better and better. The small restaurant by the pier had a very good business. He Family had earned a lot of money by relying on this small restaurant in just a year or two and had an addition of nearly 20 mu of fertile fields. They even hired long-term workers. On top of that, He Xuan Hai got admitted as Xiucai from last year's autumn exam. The status of He Family in Wuliqiao was getting higher and higher. Although it can't be compared to Su Family, it still caught people's eyes in Wuliqiao.
After receiving the letter of guarantee and confirming that it was correct, You Jin got the servant to send it to the yamen, while she herself talked to He Hao: "Recently, the shop is so busy and I trouble you to come here personally."
While living in Su's house, third branch stated to the outside world that they were cousin relatives. This avoided a lot of explanation.
He Hao jollily laughed and replied: "What I'm doing is small, just enough to support my family. What's so good about it!"
He knew that Su Family had opened a new restaurant this year and had passed by a few times from a distance. The gilded signboard under the sun had dazzled countless people's eyes. How could he dare to compare with the other party?
You Jin exchanged pleasantries with He Hao for a long time before personally sending him to the gate of Su's house: "Thank you, Uncle Lizheng, for making this trip."
She took the food box held by the servant and handed it to He Hao: "These snacks are homemade. Bring them back for Auntie and Younger Sister Xiao Ning to try. I implore Uncle Lizheng not to dislike it."
How could He Hao not heard of Sujiaxiang? How could he possibly dislike it? According to his contact and understanding of Su Family in the past few years, You Jin would definitely not take it back after giving it away. So he happily accepted it and went back to Wuliqiao with the food box.
At the entrance of Wuliqiao Village, some idle villagers saw Lizheng returning from the west side of the river with a food box and knew Su Family gave him good things. Some people who couldn't stand it and wagged their tongues in private: "What Lizheng! Isn't he like a dog raised by Su Family's group of females! If there is anything good, he want to fawningly send it to the rich people! Truly embarrassing!"
Some gossiped, while more were envious. How rich Su Family was now! Just looking at it from a distance, there were five or six carriages that come in and out every day! Not to mention the rest! Let's not talk about other things, Lizheng had a good relationship with them. It was said that the shop on the side of the pier was leased to He Family at a discount of 30% of the market price. Look at He Family. It had only been two years and they had bought good land and built a three room spacious and elegant blue brick house! Who wouldn't be envious!
He Hao didn't care what the envious villagers said. Though he was on good terms with Su Family, he can proclaim to be sitting upright and not be afraid of the shadow. What was there to be afraid of? After nodding and exchanging greetings with the villagers, he went home with the food box gifted by Su Family.
"Did you go to Elder Sister You Jin's house?" He Xiao Ning came out to open the door for He Hao and saw the food box he was carrying looked like the box that Su Family brought to the house as a gift last year. Recalling Su Family's snacks, He Xiao Ning started drooling. Peeking at the box in her father's hand, she asked, "What delicious things did Elder Sister You Jin get Father to bring back?"
"You monkey!" He Hao poked his daughter's head, passed the food box over, and grinned: "You're already a thirteen-year-old girl and still so gluttonous. Don't know if you're the reincarnation or glutton or what !"
He Hao only had one son and one daughter. The eldest son, He Xuan Hai's marriaged at the beginning of last year and the becoming Xiucai at last year's autumn exam was the family's double happiness. Now, in two or three months, He Family will have a third generation; As for the youngest daughter who turned thirteen this year, she was pampered since she was little and turned out delicate and cute. He Hao was just worried about his daughter's immaturity and how much she will suffer when she marries into her in-law's house in the future!
He Xiao Ning followed her father back to the upper room, put the food box on the kang table, opened the box, and saw that it was full of delicate and delicious snacks. She felt her mouth salivating. How could she have the mind to know what her father was thinking?
She broke off a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and placed it into her mouth. The sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake that melted in her mouth was fragrant and delicious. The rich flavor of sweet-scented osmanthus spreaded in her mouth. He Xiao Ning almost swallowed her tongue from its deliciousness. In two-three bits, she finished one. She looked at her father who was drinking water and said, "Father, you want to try some? Elder Sister-in-law said in the past two days that she doesn't have much taste in her mouth. I'll send some to her to try!"
"Youngest Sister, did you buy this?" He Xuan Hai married his academy's Teacher Liu's wife's niece. Her name was Lian Hua-er. Both of Lian Hua-er's parents died when she was young. Although she was Teacher Liu's wife's niece, Teacher Liu raised her as his own daughter. When Lian Hua-er was in the boudoir, she often went to the academy to deliver meals to Teacher Liu. Gradually, she developed a crush on handsome He Xuan Hai. So when Teacher Liu had such an idea, Lian Hua-er was both happy and shy. It went without saying she agreed to this marriage.
Lian Hua-er was an overthinker. After marrying into He Family, He Family's conditions improved in the past two years despite being from the countryside. She was never short of food and clothing. It can't be said that she was unhappy. The only thing that made her dissatisfied was her discovery of her husband being too polite with her and she didn't know why. Since she became pregnant, her overthinking became a little worse and had couldn't eat every day. Today she smelled the appetizing snacks brought by He Xiao Ning and her appetite was aroused. She picked up a piece to eat and asked.
Xiao Ning sat across from Lian Hua-er, and said with a smile: "Elder Sister from Su Family gave it to Father. Their snacks are delicious!"
Speaking of Su Family's snack, He Xiao Ning appeared very proud and honored. Excluding her parents and her eldest brother, Su Family's Elder Sister was her favorite person!
"Su Family on the other side of the river?" Lian Hua-er had been married to Wuliqiao for a year. Although He Family had a lot of contact with Su Family, Lian Hua-er can't explain why she didn't like the always smiling Su Family's Eldest Miss. Maybe it was because her smile was too annoying. Maybe it was because the clothes she wore were made of too good material. Maybe it was because her husband always smiled when he occasionally mentioned her...
Thinking of this, Lian Hua-er's appetite reduced after only a little bit of improvement. She put the snack she took a bite back on the plate and irritatedly uttered: "Forget it, I can't eat it. Youngest Sister, you eat it! "
He Xiao Ning looked at Eldest Sister-in-law strangely. Wasn't she quite happy just now? Why did she suddenly have a gloomy face again? However, He Xiao Ning didn't dare to ask her anything. With an 'oh', she walked out of the east wing with a plate of half eaten snack and left Lian Hua-er alone with a gloomy and strange expression as she stifled in anger.
Sitting in the room with a big belly, Lian Hua-er felt sick when thinking about how the snack she ate just now was from Su Family. In the end she vomited it all up. Her originally bad complexion became even worse. "Su You Jin, what exactly do you want to do?"
Why did she give Father-in-law snacks for no reason? Why did Youngest Sister bring the snack to her? Could it be that she instigated it?
The more Lian Hua-er thought about it, the more anxious she felt. Her whole person collapsed back and slept. It was only when it was dark and Xiao Ning knocked on the door to tell her to have dinner did she wake up.
On the dining table of He Family, there was a large pot of delicious pickled cabbage stewed with pork, two kinds of fresh vegetables, and some deliciously marinated meat bones that Zhao Chun Hua brought back from his small restaurant. He Xiao Ning specially set aside snacks for her mother and eldest brother.
"Today's meat was stewed well. Xuan Hai, you should eat more after studying hard." Zhao Chun Hua felt so tired after a day of work in the small restaurant that she lost her appetite. After a mouthful of pickled cabbage, her appetite had opened up a lot. Seeing her son absent-minded, she put a piece of a stewed-soft fatty meat into his bowl: "Look at your poor spirits. Although studying is important, you still have to take care of yourself."
He Xuan Hai accepted the meat from his mother and said, "It's just that I have a lot of homework recently. Not a problem." Although He Xuan Hai was now a Xiucai, he changed from the original academy to the official school in Luohe Prefecture. He had always been somewhat intelligent. He had been favored by the teachers of the academy when he was in the academy and was somewhat arrogant. But now when he attended the official school, he realized that there were so many talents in Luohe Prefecture. It was inevitable that he was a bit dull among the crowd. Because of this, he studied hard day and night. His energy was indeed not as good as before.
Lian Hua-er watched it all. Husband didn't stretch his chopsticks towards the meat more than a few times. However, he ate two pieces of snacks that were placed in front of Youngest Sister. Recalling how every time the eldest girl from Su Family came to the house, Husband would be especially upbeat. Her poor appetite became even worse even when the pickled cabbage and stewed pork was clearly stewed deliciously and appetizingly. Lian Hua-er couldn't even hold the chopstick. She sat there with a sullen face and said nothing.
Zhao Chun Hua glanced at the daughter-in-law who suddenly acted up. She pursed her lips and said nothing. She clipped a piece of meat and put it in He Xiao Ning's bowl: "Xiao Ning, eat more too."
It wasn't that she, Zhao Chun Hua disliked this daughter-in-law. It was just that their personalities were incompatible. She had always had a straightforward temper. Whatever came to mind, she would voice. While Daughter-in-law was introverted. When Daughter-in-law first married into He Family, she got into a petty temper for a few days because of her careless words. In other families, daughters-in-law served their mother-in-law who set the rules. While she, the mother-in-law was serving her like a master! If she had known earlier, she might as well have found a country girl as a wife for her son!
Naturally, He Xuan Hai didn't know the grievances between his old mother and his wife. After dinner, he went back to his room to continue studying. Lian Hua-er simply put down the dishes and followed him back to the room.
"To those who know, they would say our family married in a daughter-in-law. But those who don't, they would think that our family married in an ancestor!" Seeing the door of the east wing closed, Zhao Chun Hua berated in a low voice.
He Hao knew that his wife and daughter-in-law bump heads. Seeing her like this, he still persuaded her a few words: "Alright, Daughter-in-law is young and ignorant. You are going to be a grandmother. Don't mind her, okay?"
However, He Hao was also internally sighing. Everyone said that marrying a wife was marrying a virtue. With the way Lian Hua-er, he really didn't know whether she was virtuous or not. She had only married in to the family for more than a year. How will the future days pass in the future?
Zhao Chun Hua grumpily glared at the sloppy He Hao: "You're the only one who pretends to be a good person and be a peacemaker here."
After that, she didn't say anything more. The family of three comfortably finished the meal.
Chapter 133. One Day Husband and One Hundred Days of Grace
"As the so-called one day husband and wife, always husband and wife. We have been husband and wife for so many years, since you have lived such a happy life, you can't ignore past affection and let your husband bow down to others, right?" Though Yue Chang Shou smiled gently, what he said was shameless: "Wife, it takes a hundred years of good karma to earn the chance to share a boat journey with someone, and a thousand years of good karma, to share a pillow!"
Mrs. Han slammed the cup in her hand on the table. Face full of fury, she glared at Yue Chang Shou who seemed to have lost his memory and forgot what he had done. Suppressing the anger within, she gritted his teeth and asked: " Who was it that ignored affection and wanted to sell my daughter to a rich man as a second wife? Who made my mother die from anger? And who abandoned me and went to seek refuge? Yue Chang Shou, you are too shameless!"
After listening to her daggered questioning, he had the cheek to smile: "At the beginning, Husband's eyes were blinded by lard and thoughts took the wrong path. Husband is now a repentant libertine that is worth more than gold. . Let's live a good life in the future. Please forgive Husband this time!"
As expected of Yue Chang Shou, a person who had worked in a grocery store for more than ten years. He practiced his glib tongue to the degree it was above ordinary people. If such words were said to strangers. they may be moved until shedding a few drops of tears.
Mrs. Han wasn't a brainless person. She naturally knew that Yue Chang Shou occasionally sought her because he saw that her life was better than his. He had had enough of the hard times and wanted to take this opportunity to stick onto her so that he can continue to cross his legs and be his Third Master! Besides, Mrs. Han's heart was already dead when Yue Chang Shou took that wh*re and left her behind in Cuifeng Village. How could she possibly soften her heart just because of his flowery words?
"You don't have to be eloquent with me here. You might as well be direct with me. What exactly do you want?" Though Mrs. Han didn't want to stay with him for a moment, she was afraid that if she angered Yue Chang Shou and nobody would know what he'll do when being forced to a dead end. Even though he found her now, he didn't know the existence of You He and Wen Sheng Wen Yu brothers. But if he finds out that his children were in Luohe Prefecture, don't know how messy it'll get.
Yue Chang Shou chuckled with a 'hehe' and replied, "Of course I want to reunite with you, Wan Qing."
Wan Qing was Mrs. Han's boudoir name. In the past, when their relationship hadn't broken down, calling her like this always made her happy. As he said this, he wanted to stretch out his hand across the wooden table between the two of them to grab Mrs. Han's hand.
With quick response, Mrs. Han avoided Yue Chang Shou's movements and sneered. Why didn't she see that the person she had slept with for more than ten years was not worthy of being a human being!
Coming up empty, Yue Chang Shou nonchalantly took back his hand and pointed his hand toward the sky and swore: "Wan Qing, I have really reflected. Since the first day I met you again, I have been looking for our children. Believe me, I will definitely find them. In the future, our family of four will live peacefully and happily in Dingyuan like before. You only need to enjoy yourself at home. Just let me worry about the shop matter."
"Saying so much, isn't it all for this shop?" Mrs. Han sneered. Her eyes mockingly looked at Yue Chang Shou, "Yue Chang Shou, you are really like a dog when seeing a meaty bone. At the sight of money, you pounce. I can only tell you that your daydream is going to be shattered. Use your mind. You sold my family's shop in Dingyuan and ran away with all the money. Where did I get the money to open such a big shop?"
Yue Chang Shou was stunned for a long time by her gunpowder-filled words. It only came to him afterward. That's right! He personally sold of Han Family's shop and all the money was in his own hands. How did Mrs. Han come to Luohe Prefecture? How did she invest in this cosmetic shop that looked costly to manage at first glance? The more Yue Chang Shou thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. Could it be that Mrs. Han latched on some rich businessman?
Thinking that the top of his head might be green, Yue Chang Shou's complexion became very ugly: "Could it be possible that you met some noble person? What did you do to get the other party to bring you to Luohe Prefecture and let you manage this shop?"
From the corner of the eye, he scanned Mrs. Han up and down for a few times. From the start, Mrs. Han wasn't ugly. In addition, she had been nourished well in Su's house over the year or so and appeared a little more free and comfortable than when she was in Dingyuan. The more Yue Chang Shou thought about it, the more he felt that she had put on a green hat on him. However, the anger in his heart must be suppressed. In order to live a good life, what could a green hat amount to?
"Yue Chang Shou, you are disgusting and shameless. While I do want face! Leave!" Mrs. Han was so infuriated that her face turned pale. She pointed at the gate and shouted in a low voice: "If you don't leave, I will call someone!"
For the safety of her family members, You Jin had arranged two guards to guard each of Su Family's shops, in case someone caused trouble.
Yue Chang Shou pursed his lips and wanted to say something. But seeing Mrs. Han's hatred, Yue Chang Shou had to halt this thought for a while. Suppressing the fury burning within, he said softly: "Wan Qing, I was wrong just now. Don't be angry, I'll leave today and come back to see you in two days."
During the short journey from the small tea room where the cosmetics shop served customers to the gate, Yue Chang Shou carefully examined the layout of the cosmetics shop again. While he was emotional about Mrs. Han latched onto a rich person, he also secretly hated her for being ruthless and ungrateful. She wanted to abandon him and climb to a higher branch when she was living a good life. Envy and hatred brewed in his heart. He left the cosmetic shop and almost bumped into You Bao who came to the shop today to have a look.
"What are you doing?!" Dong Zhi, the maid next to You Bao, quickly stopped the middle-aged man who was about to run into her Fourth Miss head-on. Her almond eyes widened as she scolded.
Yue Chang Shou was in a bad mood. Now he was suddenly reprimanded by such a little girl, he immediately raised his head to berate. But the clothes that the girl was wearing were not affordable by ordinary people. Also, she was accompanied by a tall guard. Right now, the guard was standing in front of him and coldly staring at him. Yue Chang Shou immediately faltered: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This lowly one didn't pay attention."
You Bao glanced at the middle-aged man whose expression flickered too fast. She felt that he looked familiar but couldn't tell where she saw him. It must be someone unimportant. So She motioned for the guard to let him go: "The shop Is still doing business. Don't make trouble here."
"Yes." The guard took a step aside. Yue Chang Shou heaved a sigh of relief, and hurried away gratefully. He didn't even realize the rich-looking girl whom he almost bumped into just now turned out to be second branch's sixth lass who couldn't even eat enough five-six years ago.
When the people in the shop saw the owner coming, they all smiled and greeted: "Fourth Miss is here." The cosmetics shop opened by Mrs. Han and You Bao was called 'Rouge Drunk'. Rouge Drunk mainly focused on all female's cosmetics, soap, and dew and the likes. Due to this, the people in the shop were all women transferred from Su Family's other businesses. They respected Fourth Miss and Mrs. Han very much.
You Bao smiled and nodded: "It's fine. You guys busy away. I just dropped by to have a look since I have nothing to do. Where is Third Aunt?"
Third Aunt cared the most about the cosmetics shop and wouldn't leave even a single step on normal days. Why was she nowhere to be seen today?
Hearing Fourth Miss's question, the shop supervisor replied: "The man who almost bumped into Miss just now, came to find the manager for some reason. Manager still hasn't come out of the tea room! This isn't the first time he came. Every time he comes, Manager isn't very happy. However, since Manager doesn't say anything, we dare not ask."
Before the tears from the corners of Han's eyes were wiped away, You Bao came into the tea room.
"What's wrong, Third Aunt?" In You Bao's impression, Third Aunt had always been the most cheerful and upbeat person. How could she secretly shed tears behind everyone's back? Sitting next to Mrs. Han, she asked anxiously: "What happened? Is it because the people in the shop are disobedient or the customers were rude? Could it be that person just now...?"
"You Bao, did you see him? He didn't recognize you, did he?!" Mrs. Han, who was still hastily wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, immediately guessed that You Bao happened to encounter Yue Chang Shou when she heard her mention that person just! Panic emerged in her eyes. She held You Bao's hand tightly with both hands, desperately needing to know the answer.
You Bao was a little confused by Third Aunt's nervous reaction: "Wha recognize? The man mindlessly walked and almost bumped into me. I saw him sizing our shop with an absent-minded expression. Who is he?"
Third Aunt, who was always the most calm, was now so frightened and panicked. He must be a terrible person, right? You Bao carefully freed her hand from Mrs. Han's 'claws' and waved it lightly a few times. Third Aunt's strength was really great!
Hearing You Bao's question, Mrs. Han suddenly didn't know what to say. The four of them had already caused so much trouble for You Jin and second branch. Now Yue Chang Shou found her, she couldn't let him know second branch was living so well now. Otherwise it would create restlessness in second branch.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Han decided to stick to her original decision - settle the matter alone. Although she couldn't help the second branch much, she couldn't keep causing trouble for them. She patted You Bao's hand, forced a smile, and replied, "It's nothing. Just an unimportant old acquaintance who came to catch up with me when he knew I was also in Luohe Prefecture."
"Really?" Don't believe it was written all over You Bao's face. If it was an unimportant person, why did Third Aunt panic to such an extent?
Mrs. Han nodded vigorously and said, "Yes."
Although You Bao was suspicious, Third Aunt must have reasons since was unwilling to speak of it. She couldn't really force it. She just responded: "Okay, if Third Aunt encounters any troubles, you must tell us. Don't carry it yourself. After all, we are one family."
Touched by You Bao's 'family, Mrs. Han's nose was a little sore. She spoke: "Deal. Third Aunt knows."
She was even more determined not to tell second branch about this. The whole family treated them sincerely. They can't not repay their kindness and cause trouble to others from time to time.
Chapter 134 Hassle and Relief
But Mrs. Han had no money and no power. How could she possibly come up with a way to deal with Yue Chang Shou? After much deliberation and after pondering about it for several days, she couldn't come up with any solution. While Yue Chang Shou came to hassle her again.
"Wan Qing, from afar, I thought I saw you. Didn't expect it is you. I haven't seen you for a few days, but you look a little better." Smilingly, Yue Chang Shou stopped Mrs. Han who came out to shop today. He acted as if he didn't see Mrs. Han's ugly face and chatted to her.
Seeing him, Mrs. Han's face turned dark on the spot. She didn't want to talk to him and wanted to detour around him.
After much difficulty, Yue Chang Shou met her, how could he let her go so easily? He stretched out his hand and halted Mrs. Han: "We're husband and wife after all. You and I are still husband and wife now. Isn't it too heartless of you to act like this? If I have a bad life, aren't you afraid of having a bad conscience?"
This was already obviously a threat.
Mrs. Han's face was a little pale. She clenched her fists tightly under the wide sleeves. Suppressing the nausea and rage in her heart, she asked in a low voice: "Yue Chang Shou, what exactly do you want?"
"I know you are working for Su Family now. You can't bear us husband and wife to separate for the long-term, can you?" After Yue Chang Shou left that day, he inquired around again. It turned out Mrs. Han worked for Su Family, who only made a fortune in recent years. One must know that Su Family had a good few big shops in Luohe Prefecture. As long as he can work in Su Family's shop, he wouldn't have to worry about money! "Go and beg the owner to arrange a vacancy for me. No matter what, I had managed the shop for more than ten years. Being a supervisor, no, being a manager is more than enough!"
Hearing him mentioning Su Family, Mrs. Han's heart immediately rose to her throat. But after hearing the latter half, Mrs. Han's heart returned to its original position. She looked at him with a sarcasm. The corners of her lips and brows were full of sarcasm : "You really don't give up. But I'm just a servant of Su Family. How can I have such a great ability to arrange you to work in Su Family?"
Yue Chang Shou didn't accept her answer. He had been in Luohe Prefecture for more than a year. He originally thought that with his intelligence and eloquence, he could do well in Luohe Prefecture. First, he was tricked by someone and all the savings in the family were reduced to less than a third. Later, he finally found a job in a small grocery store. He just took some sugar and salt home and the manager detained a month's salary and kicked him out.
Thinking of this, Yue Chang Shou was filled with resentment. Didn't he make a lot of money for that stingy man? For a little bit of sugar and salt, he kicked him out without even caring for past affection! Wait until he becomes famous and he'll go back and show that stingy old man some color! In front of him, Mrs. Han whom he disliked before was the stepping stone to success. He must seize this rare opportunity!
As if he couldn't hear the sarcasm in Mrs. Han's words, he thinned his face and grinned: "Wan Qing, look how you are now wearing silk and satin and decked in gold and silver jewelry. You can't possibly just watch your husband keep suffering, right?"
She had nothing to do with the owner of Su Family? Who would believe it! If she, Han Wan Qing, was really just an ordinary servant, how can she afford to wear such a big silver hairpin? There was also the shiny gilt lotus bracelet on the wrist. That was worth a few silver liang!
Mrs. Han was so annoyed by his no face behavior. And seeing the passers-by who peeked over with excitement from time to time, she was even more unwilling to entangle with him: "I can't be bothered to waste saliva with you. I have something to do. Let go of me immediately!"
"Wan Qing, is there anything more important than us husband and wife catching up with each other?" Yue Chang Shou could see that this lowly person Mrs. Han didn't want to care about his life at all. How could he possibly let her go? If this opportunity was passed, it would be really difficult for him to wait for another opportunity to make a fortune.
"What's the matter?" A slightly deep voice interrupted the stalemate between the two.
Mrs. Han looked up. It turned out that Third Master Huang was passing by this street and saw her being hassled by a man and came over to rescue her. Her heart was inexplicably washed with relief. She greeted him with some embarrassment: "Third Master."
Being interrupted, Yue Chang Shou was a little disgruntled at first. But when he heard Mrs. Han addressed him in this way, he took in the man in a dark purple satin gown with silver ingots and dark patterns with a few jade pendants hanging around his waist. The middle-aged man was a little round and rich-looking and had an attendant following. Therefore, he misunderstood that he was a master of Su Family and immediately changed into a groveling expression. Letting go of Mrs. Han, he bent slightly, and imitated Mrs. Han's way of addressing as he cheerfully greeted: "Hello, Third Master, I am Mrs. Han's husband."
Third Master Huang probably knew a bit of Mrs. Han's past. He recalled that she had established a female household on her own? Where did this husband come from? Although he was a bit puzzled, he didn't show anything on his face. He indifferently glanced at Yue Chang Shou before nodding slightly in acknowledgement. He turned his head to look at Mrs. Han again and asked her with his eyes if she needed his help.
Mrs. Han slightly shook the arm that was painful from being grasped by Yue Chang Shou and responded, "Don't worry, Third Master. This servant has already bought the things that Madam ordered. I will send them back to the wife right now."
Third Master Huang didn't change his expression when she uttered these inexplicable words. Instead, he maintained his cold attitude and acted along with Mrs. Han: "Alright. Just don't delay Madam's business and go back earlier. While you're at it, tell Madam I won't return for dinner and have an appointment with someone to discuss business."
Before Master Han could answer Third Master Huang's words, Yue Chang Shou cut off the conversation halfway: "Third Master, I'm the best at socializing with people. You may wish to bring me along when you talk about business. I will fulfill tasks for Third Master Huang with all my heart!"
Mrs. Han glared at Yue Chang Shou with displeasure and apologetically apologized to Third Master Huang: "I'm really sorry. He's full of nonsense. Third Master, please don't bother with him."
Third Master Huang picked up some details and said with a smile: "It's okay. How do I call you, Brother? Since Brother self-recommends and I can be regarded as a person who cherishes talents. It's just that there was an urgent matter today. Why don't you go with me, Brother?"
Surprised and delighted, Yue Chang Shou nodded again and again: "Thank you, Third Master! Thank you, Third Master!"
Then he followed Third Master Huang like a tail and left. Finally, he seized the opportunity to change his position and was already dazzled by the great ecstasy. How could he possibly have the mind to remember what he said to Mrs. Han? Not to mention questioning why the owner family was surnamed Su when Third Master's surname was Huang.
Seeing Third Master Huang walking slowly on the street with his hands behind his back and Yue Chang Shou who bowed and showing his servile appearance, Mrs. Han couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. She originally wanted to find a way to solve Yue Chang Shou's trouble slowly. Unexpectedly, Third Master Huang got involved all of a sudden. She was afraid that Yue Chang Shou would talk nonsense with Third Master Huang and cause trouble for her. A headache emerged.
When Yue Chang Shou got the chance, he naturally tried his best. In all fairness, Yue Chang Shou was somewhat eloquent. When he was in Dingyuan, he followed old Master Han in managing the grocery store for more than ten years. Master Han had taught him with all his heart. It can be said that he practiced until he excelled at socializing and how to behave.
"Thanks to Brother Yue today, our business can be negotiated so smoothly. Consider this money as Brother Yue's hard work fee." Third Master Huang drank a cup of Zhuyeqing with a smile and motioned to the servant beside him to hand over a purse .
Yue Chang Shou accepted the purse. The heavy weight made his heart surge a little more. He smiled more eagerly, saying: "I thank Third Master Huang for your support. I only have a little strength. I hope that Third Master can give me a chance and will definitely do my best for Third Master!"
Third Master Huang let a hearty laugh, patted Yue Chang Shou on the shoulder, and stated, "I, Third Huang, have always cherished talents. Alright, go to Wanjialou in city west tomorrow and find Manager Li. Just say that I told you to. He will make arrangements for you."
Wanjialou was Third Master Huang's own property, a small teahouse aimed at civilians. Although it wasn't as famous as Sujiayan, it was good enough place for Yue Chang Shou to go.
"Thank you, Third Master! thank you, Third Master!" Yue Chang Shou was short of kowtowing to Third Master Huang a few times on his knees as he sent away good-natured Third Master Huang with gratitude. Then he stuffed the purse that Third Master Huang had rewarded just now into his bosom and went home happily.
Yue Chang Shou and Jiao Niang were still living in the donkey alley outside the West City Gate. Yue Chang Shou was in a good mood today. He bought wine and meat and returned home humming a little tune. He bragged to Jiao Niang who had been looking forward to him for the whole day at home and explained his great achievements today: "Your master just made that Third Master Huang highly look upon me with just a few words. I will go to work in Wanjialou tomorrow. Today when Third Master Huang was discussing, I spoke a word or two and Third Master Huang rewarded me with ten silver liang! Jiao Niang, it won't be long before we can live a happy life decked in quality-clothes and lavish food!"
Jiao Niang tightly held the two silver liang that Yue Chang Shou gave her. Internally, she was scolding Yue Chang Shou for being stingy and would give herself two silver coin when he got ten silver liang, while getting close to Yue Chang Shou. She leaned against him weakly and bonelessly and breathed out like an orchid: "Jiao Niang believes that Master will be able to achieve great success!"
Yue Chang Shou's description of being served by servants and the days of wearing gold and silver was what she yearned for. She was poor for her whole life as well as being sold into the brothel by her father. She hated those old acquaintances. Every day, she hoped that she would live a good life and then she'd go back and slap those damn people's faces until they were disfigured. Make them regret it!
After a good night's sleep, Yue Chang Shou put on his best clothes early the next morning and went to Wanjialou in the west market. Wanjialou was a two-storey tea house located in West City and covered a relatively small area. Still, its location was great and the cooks wasn't bad. The daily business was good.
Standing in front of Wanjialou, Yue Chang Shou took in Wanjialou. It was quite different from what he had expected. Gritting his teeth, he went in, stopped a server and asked, "Excuse me, is Manager Li here? Third Master Huang told me to come."
Manager Li had received orders from his master. When he saw Yue Chang Shou, he arranged for him to work as a waiter: "There are no vacancies now. You can do this for the time being. Third Master had instructed once there's a good vacancy, it'll be yours."
Yue Chang Shou didn't expect that Third Master Huang, who seemed easy-going yesterday, would arrange such an embarrassing job as a waiter for himself! Immediately, his complexion became ugly. Still, he didn't dare to walk away on the spot. After all, Third Master Huang was the richest person he can come into contact with now. If he offends him, life will be even more difficult. Without a choice, he gritted his teeth and took the job.
However, Third Master Huang had shown a little sincerity. He paid Yue Chang Shou twice as much as a normal waiter. It can be regarded as giving him face. Once Yue Chang Shou knew this, his initial displeasure changed. He secretly thought to himself: "Master Huang must have the intention to recruit me, otherwise he wouldn't have given me this salary."
This side, Yue Chang Shou was still immersed in pride on finally finding a chance to rise up. Over this side, Mrs. Han sought Third Master Huang. One was to thank him for saving her from the siege yesterday, and the other was to apologize to him. Because her own mess involved an outsider. She went back yesterday and couldn't sleep all night. She was annoyed with Yue Chang Shou as well as guilt-ridden toward Third Master Huang.
Chapter 135 Hassle and Relief (2)
After listening to Mrs. Han's brief explanation of the cause and effect, Third Master Huang finally understood why Mrs. Han's face became a little strange when she saw him let Yue Chang Shou leave with him yesterday.
Third Master Huang sighed and spoke: "Younger Sister, I don't want to criticize you. I know that you don't want to disturb the peace of Su Family. But doing it your way and Yue Chang Shou continues to pester you like this, he will discover that your children are all in Luohe Prefecture one day in the future. What will you do then?"
Hearing what he said, Mrs. Han felt a chill down her spine and felt lost for a while. She looked at Third Master Huang with a flustered look in her eyes: "Does Third Master have any ideas? If Third Master is willing to extend a helping hand this time, I will definitely remember Third Master's great kindness!"
Mrs. Han knew that it was wrong for her to do this, but she really had no solution. Third Master Huang was well-informed and had numerous experiences. He would have more ideas than her.
Third Master Huang sighed slightly and looked at Mrs. Han who was sitting at the bottom with some pity. He had worked with her for a while and knew that she was the most stubborn. Now she can bow her head and ask him for help. After pondering for a while, he spoke, "Alright. Since I've already stepped a foot in it, I might as well send the Buddha to the West!"
Now that he knew Yue Chang Shou aimed for money, everything was easy to handle.
While Yue Chang Shou was still dreaming of being able to become Third Master Huang's confidant in a few days and basked in lavish lifestyle in the future, Third Master Huang had already discussed with Mrs. Han about Yue Chang Shou's whereabout's arrangement.
"My side is easy to arrange, but Mrs. Han, are you sure you don't want to tell your children about it? After all, Yue Chang Shou was also their father." Third Master Huang didn't have much contact with Yue Chang Shou, he just felt that If he was Yue Wen Sheng, he also wanted to know these things?
Mrs. Han pursed her lips tightly and shook her head. She didn't sleep well last night and dark circles appeared under her eyes: "Wen Sheng is going to take the Tongsheng Examination in less than a month. I can't trouble him at this time ."
No matter how big of a matter, it can't delay Wen Sheng's future.
Only then did Third Master Huang remember that there was such matter. Sighing, he said: "Yes, the child's future is top priority now. Since you have made up your mind, I will make arrangements for Yue Chang Shou's side and will get him to sign the separation paper before he leaves."
Since Yue Chang Shou was targeting money, he didn't have to be in Luohe Prefecture as long as he could make money, right? Since it is unknown when this ticking time bomb is going to explode, best to send it far away and it won't be able to blow it up on themselves when it's time.
Following Third Master Huang's instruction, Mrs. Han went to find Yue Chang Shou. She uttered all the words that she had rehearsed countless times in her mind beforehand before quietly looking at Yue Chang Shou.
"You want me to leave Luohe Prefecture?" Yue Chang Shou suspiciously eyed Mrs. Han and responded, "Why should I believe your words? If I sign the separation paper and end up earning nothing? Won't I be in a lose-lose situation."
Yue Chang Shou wasn't stupid. He can only rely on the relationship between the two as husband and wife to latch onto Mrs. Han. What if Third Master Huang turns around and kicks him away once he signs the separation paper?
His reaction was as she expected. Mrs. Han secretly hated him for being so shameless. She took off a pair of gold-plated bracelets on her wrists and a pair of small red gold earrings on her ears and put them in front of Yue Chang Shou. She stated: "I only have such a few valuable things on me. If you sign the separation paper, I will give it to you. If you don't sign it, I will go to the yamen and sue you for doting your concubine and killing your wife. You must know that I am your legitimate wife that you married through official process. That Jiao Niang is just a toy you redeemed from the brothel."
Looking at Yue Chang Shou with a little pride in his eyes, Mrs. Han sneered a few times before saying: "If we go to the Yamen like this, there will be no suspense about who will win?"
Gently caressing the silver hairpin, she continued: "I am now Su Family's Madam's limelight person. Who do you think is more capable, rich and Su Family with numerous people or you, Yue Chang Shou?"
Mrs. Han couldn't help snickering in her heart. This trick really worked.
Yue Chang Shou didn't expect that after more than a year of separation, the originally terrible Mrs. Han would become so oppressive. He was angry and anxious, but there wasn't anything he could do about her. After all, she was now a member of Su Family. If she really wanted to sort him out, wasn't it as easy as crushing an ant? Internally spitting, this b*tch was really lucky. Initially, as someone who should have died in Dingyuan didn't die, she also arrived in Luohe Prefecture and latched on the big tree, Su Family!
In fact, when Yue Chang Shou first approached Mrs. Han, Yue Chang Shou wanted to reunite with her. After all, working in Su Family as a supervisor must earn a lot of money every month. But Mrs. Han's overt and secret dislike was too obvious. Yue Chang Shou tried a few times but came up empty. Han Wan Qing's temper was still the same as before, smelly and hard as the stones in the latrine. Back in Dingyuan, she liked to preach to him with a straight face. Thinking about the gentle and charming Jiao Niang at home, Yue Chang Shou gave up this inexplicable idea and instead wanted to squeeze some oil from her.
Mrs. Han and Yue Chang Shou were in a stalemate for a long time. Finally Yue Chang Shou surrendered and was willing to give her the separation paper. Still, he opened a lion's mouth: "I can give you the separation paper. Bring one hundred liang silver and I'll give it to you right away."
"One hundred liang! Why don't you go rob, Yue Chang Shou?" Mrs. Han didn't want to make any more concessions. She wanted to keep Yue Chang Shou away from her, but that didn't mean she had no bottom line: "In this case, let's meet at the Yamen!"
Yue Chang Shou didn't expect her to be so decisive and was afraid that she would really make trouble in the yamen. Without a choice, he had to sign the separation prepared by Mrs. Han and said with a sneer, "You also wrote the children goes to you. They might have died long ago! It can't be that you want ghosts to follow you!"
Yue Chang Shou didn't have any doubts, only thought that Mrs. Han was thinking too much and wanted to find the children back.
"Whether my children are alive or not, it has nothing to do with you. Since the separation paper has been signed, we will have nothing to do with you in the future. Whatever I do has nothing to do with you." Because Mrs. Han established a female household in Luohe Prefecture, the separation paper was sent directly to the Yamen of Luohe Prefecture to be stamped with a red seal. This separation paper was officially recognized.
Back to Yue Chang Shou. After he got the gold jewelry from Mrs. Han and exchanged them for cash. Under the arrangement and introduction of Third Master Huang, he joined a caravan that traveled north and south and left Luohe Prefecture with Jiao Niang. Knowing this news, Mrs. Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. Finally it was the day for Yue Wen Sheng to take the exam.
"Son, don't be nervous about the exam. If we don't succeed this time, there will be another time. Remember to eat the dry food that Mother prepared for you." Outside the examination room of Luohe Prefecture, Mrs. Han was carrying the bundle that was filled with dry food, clean clothes, pillows, etc. as she stood next to Yue Wen Sheng with a nervous expression on her face. She reminded him over and over again: "There were also some anti-diarrhea pills and mosquito-repelling spices in this package. Remember to use them."
The Dafeng County Examination held one exam a day and there were five consecutive exams. Every day when the evening drum sounds, the exam ended. Mrs. Han prepared enough items for her son, for fear that shortage will affect the mood of the exam and create trouble.
"Mother, don't worry, Husband had tested Wen Sheng's knowledge the day before yesterday and said passing the county examination won't be a problem." Today was third branch's big day. It went without saying You He had long followed them over. Hearing Mother's instruction, she feared that it would put too much pressure on Younger Brother and said a few words of relief: "Husband had experienced the county examination. Since he said that, it shouldn't be a big problem for Wen Sheng to be selected."
Yue Wen Sheng noticed the line outside the examination room started to move and took the bundle prepared by Mrs. Han. He bowed to Mother and Elder Sister: "Mother, Elder Sister, Wen Sheng is going now."
Mrs. Han and You He supported each other, watching Yue Wen Sheng, who had grown tall and straight as a poplar tree, entered the examination room with firm steps. Both of them felt relieved and emotional. You Jin knew that Mrs. Han must have been in a mess these few days and had asked You Bao to visit the cosmetic shop more often to let Mrs. Han take care of Yue Wen Sheng.
The difficulty of the county test wasn't too high. After the fifth day, Yue Wen Sheng was in good condition. Still, old Teacher Chen felt distressed for his student. After judging the test questions with him on the second day after the test, he let him go take a good rest for two days.
However, Yue Wen Sheng didn't rest well. In order to prepare for the Tongsheng Examination, he studied as soon as he opened his eyes and recited a collection of classics and history when they were closed. Now suddenly relaxing, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.
"Elder Cousin Brother Wen Sheng is so lucky, he doesn't need to study." During the class break, Su Kang lay helplessly on the rosewood tabletop that had been painted with a lot of ink and suddenly lamented. Studying was so tiring!
Han Er Hua and Yue Wen Yu, who were sitting next to Su Kang, also lay down weakly and wailed softly: "I really envy Eldest Brother (Elder Brother Wen Sheng)!"
They really wanted to go out to play instead of going to class!
"Why don't we skip class!" After Su Kang said this, Han and Yue's eyes lit up at first. But when they thought of being tattled by their teacher to Elder Sister You Jin for skipping class last time and having to copy the book until their hand went weak as well as the painful memory of being hit by hand twenty times, the three of them saw inexplicable resistance in each other's eyes: "I'll (you) pretend that you (I) didn't say anything."
Before the thought solidified, they all killed the idea of skipping class. Skipping class was thrilling for a while, while being caught by Elder Sister You Jin (Eldest Sister) was hell!
Today, You Jin, who brought people to Houjiawan to check the progress of the spring planting, sneezed out of nowhere. Qiu Fen, who was holding a thin cape, immediately wanted to put on a cape for her: "It's still a bit windy outside, Miss should put on the cape!"
You Jin waved her hand to express there was no need. She said with a smile: "It's already April, how can it be so cold? It should be someone talking about me!"
An unintentional joke actually hit the truth.
Seeing Miss like this, Qiu Fen didn't force her anymore. She closely followed Miss. As long as Miss sneezed again, she would put the cape on Miss no matter what.
