The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1143: Chapter 1143: It Wasn’t Like This Before (5)

”Scholar Guan, is there something else?” Yang Ruxin’s eyes narrowed slightly.

”Xinxin, I’m sorry,” Guan Qingshu said with an expression of helplessness, ”My mother, she...”

”It’s nothing,” Yang Ruxin shook her head, ”This is just human nature. It’s not a fault, but rather a good thing. At least it won’t lead to future regret that’s beyond remedy...” She laughed a little and said, ”So, Scholar Guan, please go back.”

”Xinxin?” Guan Qingshu was so clever, he immediately caught the key in Yang Ruxin’s words, ”What do you mean?”

Du Man sneered, ”Scholar Guan, my young mistress has always been considering your sister, the shop in the county town really isn’t suitable for a girl to go to alone, so she wanted to teach your sister how to make headdresses.” Saying this, she took out two very delicate floral hairpins, ”The young mistress provided the materials, and would give five copper coins for just making one. To be honest, such simple items, she could easily make a dozen or twenty a day, but before the young mistress could even speak, she was faced with a total lack of gratitude... I’ve never seen someone so ungrateful...”

Guan Qingshu’s face changed.

”Guan Qingshu, I don’t owe your family anything,” Yang Ruxin smiled, ”On the contrary, if it weren’t for me, your sister and you would probably be stuck in the mire by now... I wanted to help your sister because I felt sorry for her. I’m a girl too, and knowing that kind of situation can indeed make one unable to lift their head in shame. Out of sympathy, I wanted her to stand on her own, but I didn’t expect your family to treat it as an obligation...” She sighed, placed a floral hairpin in Guan Qingshu’s hand, ”Since that’s the case, why should I bother anymore? Remember, it is your family that owes me...” She turned around and walked away.

Guan Qingshu wanted to say more, but he couldn’t open his mouth, and could only return home in a daze.

At home, Guan Qingyue was still crying, Guan Tongshi was still nagging, but Guan Danian remained silent.

”Qingshu, why bother chasing after her? She... she is just nothing good...”

”Shut up!” Guan Qingshu really flared up, glaring angrily at Guan Tongshi, ”Mother, you were not like this before. Why have you become so unreasonable now?”

”I...” Guan Tongshi suddenly widened her eyes in surprise, ”Are you despising me now? You are saying I...”

”Qingshu, how can you talk to your mother like this?” Guan Danian frowned.

”Father, did I say anything wrong? You all should know, Xinxin doesn’t owe us anything.” Guan Qingshu felt he had spoken too harshly and softened his tone, ”On the contrary, we owe her. If it wasn’t for her, my sister might have only had the option to jump into a river by now, and if it wasn’t for her, would I still have the chance to become a Scholar?”

”But...”

”She was thinking of my sister,” Guan Qingshu lifted the floral hairpin, ”She thought it was dangerous for my sister to go to the county town alone, so she wanted to teach her to make headdresses and provide the materials. For such a simple hairpin, she would give five copper coins each, but then...”

”What?” Guan Qingyue, upon hearing this, immediately stopped crying, looked up at Guan Qingshu in amazement, and then turned to the delicate hairpin, ”She...” Then she stood up and ran toward the door, ”I’m going to find her, I’m going to apologize...”

But Guan Qingshu pulled back his sister, ”Do you think apologizing is useful for everything? Then why couldn’t you speak calmly with her just now? You also thought she was playing you earlier, didn’t you?”
