famous eldest daughter

Chapter 74 Explained
Gu Yuqing smiled calmly at the little girl and said, "Come and buy tea eggs."

The little girl walked up to Gu Yuqing in a few steps, smiled warmly and heartily, her eyes sparkled, "It's really a destiny, it can be seen that it was arranged by God, let me repay Miss' kindness, this tea shop belongs to my family! Miss wants to eat tea eggs, just eat That’s fine, no need to buy it!”

After listening to her daughter's words, the landlady frowned, her face changed, she pointed at Gu Yuqing and asked the little girl, "Zhiqiu, do you know each other?" She looked suspicious.

Gu Yuqing looked towards Zhiqiu calmly.

Zhiqiu immediately said to her mother: "When I went to deliver wild vegetables to the mountains, I took a shortcut. Unexpectedly, I met a wild boar on the way. This lady asked her maid to save me."

"Mom, she is my great benefactor. If it weren't for them, I would have been eaten by wild boars. Mom is not allowed to accept money from them!"

Before Zhiqiu finished speaking, the landlady's face suddenly turned red, her mouth trembled, and she murmured, "Well... my benefactor!"

The villagers who were already talking about each other suddenly became louder, but the content changed.

The landlady lost her face when she heard this, and her old face turned hot with shame.

They saved her daughter's life, but here she is to trick them...

The villagers' discussions quickly made Zhiqiu aware of what was going on, and immediately his face sank, and he said unhappily: "Mother, didn't you promise me that you will never insult those passing guests again? Why don't you speak?" Forget it, force people to buy wine again!"

The landlady knew she was in the wrong, but she was scolded by her daughter in front of everyone. She already couldn't save face and became even more embarrassed. She argued forcefully: "I don't sell wine. How can you get a dowry? How can your brother study for it!"

Zhiqiu gritted his teeth angrily, "Then you can't do those evil things just because of this. I don't want a dowry, I don't want to get married. The money earned from this tea shop is enough for my brother to study."

"Nonsense, it's not like you can't get married as a college girl, so why don't you get married!" Arguing with her daughter about this in public, the landlady felt really embarrassed and said, "You kid, don't meddle in adult matters!" Her tone became tougher. .

"She is my benefactor!" Zhiqiu pointed at Gu Yuqing, furious, tears suddenly filled his eyes, and his voice was choked with sobs.

The landlady said sarcastically, "I don't know!" The sound was like a mosquito.

Gongsun Yan, who had been watching the show in silence, saw that things had developed to this point, and knew that Gu Yuqing would be in peace without his intervention, so he left quietly.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhiqiu and her mother, and almost no one noticed when he left. Only Gu Yuqing, whose calm eyes flashed slightly when Gongsun Yan turned around.

"Okay, okay, what's there to see? Isn't it just a misunderstanding? You've finished the crops in the fields? If you have time to sharpen your teeth here, you might as well go to the fields and pick up two more handfuls of grass. Be careful about the autumn harvest. We won't be able to harvest even a grain of food at that time, and your whole family will starve to death. Let's go, let's go, the shop is closed early today, so we won't buy any more!" Zhiqiu's mother was anxious and began to wave the rag in her hand to coax those who were resting in the shop. villagers.

After the villagers had left one after another, Zhiqiu's mother wiped her hands with a rag, walked up to Gu Yuqing, and smiled awkwardly: "That...Miss...I...that, I'm sorry miss, miss, you have a lot, don't be as knowledgeable as me."

He groaned, holding back a few words of apology, but his face turned the color of pig liver, his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered, not daring to look at Yuqing. From time to time, he glanced cautiously at Zhiqiu and then quickly took it back. Rubbing the rag in his hand, he looked like a child who had done something wrong.

She is still a little afraid of this daughter.

Since her husband passed away, she has relied on her daughter, who is only in her teens, to support her in everything big and small at home.

Zhiqiu is also naturally capable. She does things quickly and neatly, and she has never failed in anything.

Over and over again, I was willing to discuss anything with her. This child was not big, but she spoke in a clear and logical manner, which made people convinced.

She knew that she had no opinion, and Zhiqiu had an idea. 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 brightened slightly and she said to her mother: "Mom, go and pack a basket of tea eggs for the young lady. Since the young lady loves to eat them, she came all the way to buy our tea leaves. The eggs are the glory of our family."

When Zhiqiu's mother heard this, her eyes suddenly flashed, and she looked at Zhiqiu with a painful expression on her face, "Pretending to be a basket case?"

The money from a basket of tea eggs is enough for the three of them to spend for a month, and Xiaozizi will have to pay tuition next month.

Coyotito loves to read, and his husband always praises him for being smart and motivated. He might be able to become a top scholar in reading. Whether she can follow him and enjoy the blessings is second to none, but Zhiqiu doesn't have to suffer anymore.

The sister of the champion must also be living a good life.

As long as the siblings don't have to endure this hard life anymore, she would be satisfied.
Zhiqiu knew that her mother was reluctant to let go, so she said, "Without the lady saving me, mother would not be able to see me. Isn't my life worth a basket of tea eggs?"

It was reasonable, but it was too... She wanted to say it, just give it away three or five times, but she didn't have the shame to say it.

Although her heart ached, she gritted her teeth and turned around.

After her mother left, Zhiqiu looked at Gu Yuqing with an apologetic face, and said sincerely: "Miss, what happened today made you wronged, I'm sorry."

Gu Yuqing shook her head and smiled, but said nothing, but she was more and more interested in Zhiqiu.

Zhiqiu sighed and continued: "It's not easy for my mother either. My father died early, and my brother and I were raised by my mother alone. We all rely on the income from this shop."

"My mother is actually not a bad person. Miss, don't look at it. She just blackmailed you and scolded those uncles, aunts and ladies very harshly. But every time the village suffered a disaster, my mother took money to help them, and my family's rice noodles were also They are all put out for everyone to use. She just doesn’t speak well."

"My mother used to be gentle, but since my father died, she has forced herself to be like this. She always said that if she was more powerful, no one would bully us siblings." At this point, Zhiqiu's nose couldn't help but feel sore, and she bit it. Biting his lip, he held back the tears that filled his eyes.

Gu Yuqing suddenly realized, no wonder Zhiqiu's mother drove those people away just now, and they didn't get angry.

It turns out that this is the case, I can’t help but sigh in my heart.

Zhiqiu glanced at the back of her mother who was busy, and added: "When my father died, he left no money and owed a lot of debt. I have finally paid off the debt over the years, and I have reached the age of marriage again. "

"Mom is worried about my dowry and also worries about my brother's tuition. When this man is short of money, he becomes even more greedy."

Zhiqiu's precocity and intelligence made Gu Yuqing's heart ache. Such Zhiqiu reminded her of herself.
