Chapter 241: Sisi's Selfishness
As soon as Du Qi spoke, everyone looked at him in surprise.

For a moment, the tense atmosphere in the room dissipated.

Song Guichen asked A Cui in surprise: "It was your brother Qi who was talking just now?"

A Cui nodded affirmatively.

The old god Du Qi was touching his chin on the ground, as if to say, you are so surprised when I say a word?is it necessary?

Although Song Guichen was happy, he also grasped the current point.

The point is that what Ah Qi said makes perfect sense.

It must be that the girls and servants in the courtyard said something behind their backs, which was overheard by Father Chang, and he is so abnormal today.

Yin turned around and asked, "Father Li, but what did the servants say that shouldn't be said?"

Father Chang just shook his head: "Girl, don't ask."

He didn't say anything because he didn't want to cause trouble, and he didn't want to punish those who spoke ill of him behind his back. Song Guichen understood his painstaking efforts and sighed:

"Father Li, you must not have any psychological burden. Brother Gu is generous, and Du Qingshan is not a person who cares about everything. We all regard you father and daughter as friends and relatives.

"Since you are friends, you shouldn't say anything about repaying your life-saving grace, and you shouldn't say anything about masters and servants. The servants don't know why, so I will talk to everyone later, and you must not take their words to heart. "

Father Chang let out a long sigh.

In order to prevent everyone from eating cold food later, he finally sat down, but still kept his chopsticks cautiously.

The third sister also had a thorn in her heart.

These days she leaves early and returns late, and spends most of her time at Linglong Embroidery Workshop, but she really doesn't know what the servants in the courtyard said to make her father behave like this.

After dinner, the third sister came to Father Chang's room.

"Father, are you today?"

Father Chang obviously knew that his daughter would come over, so he sighed and said to the third sister: "It's because father is sensitive and suspicious, you should go back."

"Father, is it true what Young Master Du said, what did the servants in the courtyard say behind their backs?"

"Si Simo asked, go back and rest."

Father Chang shook his head to chase away people, but Sisi did not leave, but came to Father Chang, "Father, if you don't tell me, my daughter won't leave."

Her eyes were full of tears: "My daughter is incompetent, she can't support her father on her own, and it's her fault that her father has been wronged. Father, tell my daughter, who made father feel wronged?"

Father Chang couldn't hold back Sisi's repeated inquiries, so he had to tell her the truth.

It turned out that in the morning, Father Chang was busy with crafts in the outer courtyard, polishing wood for A Cui's pyrography, suddenly heard a girl chattering on the screen wall, seemed to mention Sisi's name, so he listened carefully.

Only one person said: "I don't know where she was born, but the girl treats her like a sister."

Another person said: "I heard that their father and daughter are strangers taken in by Mr. Li Xiaolang. They first ate and drank in Li's house for a few months, and now they come to our house with the young master and girl. .”

"Pfft! You little hoof, what did you say about 'our family', where is your family? If Madam knows this, I won't sell you to someone else!"

"My dear sister, I will say this in front of you. It's just that I really don't understand. You said that their father and daughter are nothing more than ordinary country old people and girls, but they are so blessed, madam. They want us to take care of their food and daily life. It’s good that you are serving Miss Li, but I am serving a gloomy old guy who doesn’t say a word that day.”

"What's the matter with you? You don't know. Miss Li usually looks at her with a smile on her face. She is like a sister to Miss Song. I often see her looking at our young master. Hey, Miss Song is still buried in the study. Never paid attention to these."

Hearing this, Father Chang couldn't sit still anymore.

There was a surge of anger under the dantian, and he was about to drop the wood and rush out. After thinking about it again, except for the last part about their daughter, what they said seemed to be reasonable?
Father Chang packed up the wood and went back to the room sullenly. The wood fell in a hurry and made a loud noise.

The two maids behind the screen wall heard the sound and saw the corner of Chang's father's clothes who hurriedly escaped.

The piece of wood rolled around a few times and lay alone in the yard without moving.

"Sister Mei Xiang, what should I do? He seems to have heard it? Woohoo, I've gotten into a big disaster now!"

The girl named Mei Xiang comforted: "Don't worry, you see that he spends his whole day working on his wood and doesn't say a word, so he probably won't sue us."

"But, but—"

"Don't worry about it. If you have time now, why don't you hurry up and apologize to him and beg him to go around. If he is soft-hearted and doesn't report us to the young master, Madam won't know about it."

The two girls went to Father Chang's room weeping and begged for mercy and apologized, but Father Chang closed the door tightly and pretended not to be there.

I was bored in the room all afternoon, and then I had something before dinner.

Father Chang looked at his daughter, and told her everything the two girls said, except for the part about her.

After hearing this, Sisi couldn't help being annoyed.

Father Chang said: "Sisi, father is thinking, now that you have a job in an embroidery workshop, father can also go to the Bian River to find some moving work, why don't we move out, rent a house nearby, It's better than living under the fence, don't you think?"

When Sisi heard this, her delicate eyebrows twitched into a ball.

Father Chang sighed, and said again: "Young Master Gu and the others are renting a house, you and I, father and daughter, have caused them countless troubles by disturbing them like this. Speech."

"What excuse?" Sisi said angrily, "These dumb girls should be disciplined and disciplined. Mr. Du never said anything, so why are they talking about you, Dad! Dad, if we just move away like this, it's not a good idea." It's more down to earth, and it's even more face-saving for Mr. Gu."

"Sisi—"

"Father, don't worry about it, I will take care of it." Sisi's attitude was very firm.

"Father has inquired about it. There are public rental housing nearby, and the rent is not expensive. It only costs [-] Wen a month."

"Father." Sisi interrupted Chang's father, "Daughter said, we are different."

Father Chang's face turned serious, and he looked at the daughter in front of him with icy eyes: "Sisi, tell Dad honestly, why don't you want to move away?"

"Didn't my daughter say that if we moved away suddenly, it would be like a small person's wish, and it would make Mr. Gu and Sister Song look bad. Moreover, Wang Ruoqin is in Kaifeng. If he finds us, it will be a big deal."

"Is it really because of this?"

"Father, what do you mean by that?"

Sisi looked at his father puzzled.

After all, Father Chang felt sorry for his daughter, and instead of asking out the question in his heart, he waved his hand in compromise:
"Forget it, if you say you won't move, then don't move."

　Ahhhhh it's the last day of March! (`)
