Chapter Seventy-Two: Gongsun Yan
Gu Yuqing's eyes were calm and smiled at the little girl: "Come and buy tea eggs." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
The little girl walked in front of Gu Yuqing in a few steps, smiled warmly and heartily, and her eyes sparkled, "It's really fate, it can be seen that it is arranged by God, let me repay Miss for her kindness, this tea shop is my family! Miss wants to eat tea eggs, just eat them, you don't have to buy them!"
Listening to her daughter's words, the proprietress frowned, her face changed, she pointed at Gu Yuqing and asked the little girl, "Zhiqiu, do you know?"
Gu Yuqing looked at Zhiqiu silently.
Zhiqiu immediately said to her mother: "When I went to deliver wild vegetables to the mountain, I took a shortcut, but I didn't expect to meet a wild boar halfway, and it was this young lady who asked her maid to save me." β
"Mother, she is my great benefactor, if it weren't for them, I would have been eaten by wild boars. Mother is not allowed to accept their money!"
Before Zhiqiu's words fell, the proprietress suddenly turned red, the corners of her mouth trembled, and she muttered to herself, "En...... Benefactor!"
The villagers who were already talking about it suddenly became louder, but the content changed.
The proprietress couldn't hold her face when she heard it, and her old face was only hot.
They saved her daughter's life, but she is here to pit people......
The discussion of the villagers soon made Zhiqiu realize what was happening, and immediately his face sank, and he said unhappily: "Mother, didn't you promise me that you would never blacken those passing guests again?
The proprietress knew that she was at a loss, but she was counted down by her daughter in front of everyone, and her already unbearable face was even more ashamed, and she argued strongly: "I don't sell wine, how can you have a dowry, what does your brother take to study!"
Zhiqiu gritted his teeth angrily, "Then you can't do those hurtful things because of this, I don't want a dowry, I don't want to marry, the money earned by this tea shop is enough for my younger brother to study." β
"Nonsense, the eldest woman should get married, and it's not that you can't get married, why don't you marry!" theorizing with her daughter in public, the proprietress really felt ashamed, "Adult's business, you children don't care too much!"
"She's my benefactor!" Zhiqiu pointed at Gu Yuqing, angry, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and his voice was quite choked.
The proprietress said, "I don't know!"
Gongsun Yan, who had been watching the play in silence, saw that things had developed to this point, and he knew that Gu Yuqing would be safe without his intervention, so he left quietly.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhiqiu and her mother, and almost no one found out when he left, only Gu Yuqing, whose calm and unwavering eyes flickered slightly when Gongsun Yan turned around.
"Okay, okay, what's there to see, isn't it just a misunderstanding, all the crops in your field have been done? If you have the time to grind your teeth here, you might as well go to the field and hoe two more handfuls of grass, be careful that you can't harvest a single grain during the autumn harvest, and your whole family will starve to death." Let's go, the shop is closed in advance today, don't buy it!" Zhiqiu was anxious, and began to wave the rag in her hand to coax the villagers who were resting in the shop.
After the villagers walked one after another, Zhiqiu and her mother wiped their hands with a rag in their hands, walked in front of Gu Yuqing, and smiled awkwardly: "That...... Miss...... I...... That,I'm sorry Miss.,There's a lot of Miss Lady.,Don't be like me.γ β
He snorted and held back a few words of apology, but he turned his face into the color of pig liver, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and did not dare to look at Gu Yuqing, from time to time he cautiously glanced at Zhiqiu and quickly withdrew it, only rubbing the rag in his hand, like a child who had done something wrong.
She's still a little afraid of this daughter.
Since her husband passed away, the family has relied on this daughter, who is only a teenager, to help her support her.
Zhiqiu is also naturally capable, she is quick and refreshing in doing things, and she has never done anything in her hands.
came and went, he was willing to discuss anything with her, this child is not big, but when he speaks, he is honest, which is convincing.
She knew that she was an unassertive person, and Zhiqiu had an idea, and gradually Zhiqiu had the final say in the family.
Seeing that her mother was willing to take the initiative to apologize to Gu Yuqing, Zhiqiu's face turned a little pale, and she said to her mother: "Mother go and load a basket of tea eggs for Miss, Miss loves to eat, and she has come all the way to our family's tea eggs, which is the glory of our family." β
When Zhiqiu's mother heard this, her eyes suddenly flashed, and she looked at Zhiqiu with a painful expression, "Load a basket?"
The silver sold for a basket of tea leaves and eggs is enough for their mother's expenses for a month, and the puppy will have to pay tuition next month.
The little dog loves to read, and Mr. always praises him for being smart and motivated, maybe he can really read a champion, and when the time comes, whether she can follow the happiness is secondary, but Zhiqiu doesn't have to suffer anymore.
The champion's sister must also be living a good life.
As long as their sister and brother don't have to endure this hard life anymore, she will be satisfied.
Zhiqiu knew that her mother was reluctant, and said: "Without Miss to save me, my mother won't be able to see me, isn't my life worth a basket of tea eggs!"
That's right, but it's too ...... I wanted to say that I just had to give three or five meanings for nothing, but she didn't have the face to say it.
Although his heart was distressed, he gritted his teeth and turned around.
After her mother left, Zhiqiu looked at Gu Yuqing with an apologetic face, and said sincerely: "Miss, today's incident has wronged you, I'm sorry." β
Gu Yuqing shook her head and smiled, but she didn't speak, but she became more and more interested in Zhiqiu in her heart.
Zhiqiu sighed and continued: "It's not easy for my mother, my father died early, and my brother and I were both raised by our mothers, all relying on the income of this shop. β
"My mother is actually not a bad person, miss, don't look at her just blackmailing you, and scolding those uncles and aunts very meanly, but when the village was hit by a disaster, my mother took silver to help them, and my family's rice and noodles were also taken out for everyone to use together. She just doesn't speak well. β
"My mother used to be gentle, but since my father was gone, she forced herself to be like this, always saying that if she was stronger, no one would bully our sister and brother. Speaking of this, Zhiqiu's nose couldn't help but sour, bit his lip, and held back the tears that filled his eyes.
Gu Yuqing's heart was suddenly, no wonder Fang Zhiqiu and her mother drove those people away like that, and they didn't get angry.
I see, I can't help but sigh in my heart.
Zhiqiu glanced at her mother's busy back, and said: "When my father died, he didn't leave any money and owed a lot of debts, and it was easy to pay off the debts over the years, and I reached the age of marriage again." β
"My mother is worried about my dowry, and I have to worry about my brother's tuition, and when this person is short of money, he becomes more and more greedy for money. β
Zhiqiu's precociousness and wisdom made Gu Yuqing's heart ache, and such Zhiqiu made her think of herself.
