Chapter 435 Pay back the money?
"Time flies, the past cannot be relived, so why not start over?"
Du Liunian shook his head: "I've thought about it, but..." He failed.
She tried to start over, only to find that she couldn't...
She had met all kinds of people in the brothel and no longer had any hope for any man.
These men, they eat what's in the bowl and then look at what's in the pot...
Changing one thing in the morning and changing another in the evening...
It is easy to find a priceless treasure, but it is hard to find a lover...
Du Liunian looked at her: "I have actually thought about how I will live the rest of my life. I have a skill and can support myself. I don't need to rely on others to support me, so I don't rely on others, nor do I pin my hopes on others. My only regret is that I can't have a child of my own. Whenever I see other families living in harmony and happiness, to be honest, I envy them..."
After she finished speaking, she gave a wry smile, tilted her head back, raised the jug, and drank the wine.
Then she looked at Xie Jiaojiao and said with a smile: "But I think Jiaojiao, you are lucky. The way your husband looks at you reveals his concern..."
After saying that, she stared at Xie Jiaojiao with envy: "How did Jiaojiao and your husband meet? Was it your parents' order? Or the matchmaker's words?"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at her, shook her head slightly, holding the wine glass in her hand: "Then do you want to hear my story with him?"
"If Jiaojiao wants to tell me, I'm all ears..."
Xie Jiaojiao then told the story.
Du Liunian listened to her tell the story between her and Jiang Weinan.
Sometimes I get angry, sometimes I can't help laughing.
"You and your husband are truly enemies that meet on a narrow road!"
That’s right. Whenever Xie Jiaojiao thought back to the past, she couldn’t help laughing.
But sometimes, maybe this is fate, fate brings two unlikely people together.
In the eyes of outsiders, they may seem like that unpopular couple, but often the less favored they are, the better they live.
"Actually, this person doesn't need to care about the opinions of outsiders. He lives his own life."
Xie Jiaojiao looked at Du Liunian: "If I were you..."
"Jiaojiao, if it were me, what would I do?"
Du Liunian also looked at her.
"I will follow my heart. Once I express my feelings, if others don't accept them, I will accept the result calmly. I won't let a crooked tree hang me!"
"Have you ever heard a sentence in Liunian?"
"What?"
Xie Jiaojiao raised her glass to her: "Those who can't defeat me will make me stronger."
Du Liunian's eyes lit up.
Xie Jiaojiao drank it in one gulp.
Then he smiled and said, "I have one more word for you."
Du Liunian looked at her.
"Bye bye, the next one will be better. There are so many men in this world..."
This……
Did these two sentences really come from the same person?
Du Liunian couldn't help laughing: "Jiaojiao, you are really a lovely girl."
Xie Jiaojiao clinked glasses with her and said shamelessly, "Thank you for the compliment."
Both of them felt a little dizzy after drinking.
It was the first time for Xie Jiaojiao to drink northern liquor. Although her whole body felt warm after drinking it, her head also felt dizzy.
She said to Du Liunian: "Liunian, if you don't mind, you can be Xiaoxiao's godmother, what do you think?"
Du Liunian's eyes lit up: "You don't dislike me?"
"You're talking nonsense again! You're a woman, you're on your own, you're self-reliant, I admire you, how could I despise you?"
Du Liunian's eyes turned red. Before he could say anything, he saw Xie Jiaojiao squinting her eyes. After she fell asleep, Du Liunian was still sober and took a quilt to cover her.
Then I leaned on the bed and looked at the bright moon outside. I wondered if the person in my heart was also looking at the same moon.
……
The next morning, Xie Jiaojiao woke up with a splitting headache.
Seeing that she was awake, Du Liunian hurriedly handed her a bowl of hangover soup: "Drink this and you won't feel so bad. It's all my fault. Yesterday, when you guys arrived, I forced you to drink."
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head slightly and drank the sobering soup. Indeed, the pain in her head was not as severe anymore.
Taking the bowl, Du Liunian pointed at the clothes beside the bed and said, "Those are the clothes I prepared for you. See if they fit you."
"Thank you Liu Nian."
"No need to be polite! Do you need any help?"
Xie Jiaojiao quickly waved her hands: "No, no, I can do it myself."
After changing her clothes, Xie Jiaojiao looked much more energetic.
Had breakfast with Du Liunian.
Lai Fu came back and Xie Jiaojiao stopped him and asked him about Cuizhu's situation.
Lai Fu smiled and said, "The doctor said the wound was treated well, Cuizhu is fine."
Only then did Xie Jiaojiao feel relieved.
There were people buying new clothes ahead, so Du Liunian went to greet them.
Jiang Weinan held Xiaoxiao and brought Atian and Adi over.
Several people also had breakfast.
Xie Jiaojiao hugged Xiaoxiao. The little girl had suffered a lot with them these days and looked much thinner, which made Xie Jiaojiao feel really distressed.
"If you have time today, go to the street and hire a wet nurse. Xiaoxiao has been drinking rice soup all the time, and she is not getting enough nutrition."
Jiang Weinan nodded: "Okay, I'll do it later."
On the other side, at Qiu Niang's home, they arrived home too late yesterday and did not have time to pack their things. When they packed up today, they found the silver and banknotes in the bag.
When had Qiu Niang ever seen so much silver?
Suddenly, he shouted anxiously, "Boss, Boss!"
The man was putting on his shoes and getting ready to go out. When he heard her yelling, he hurried over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Her father heard her anxious shouting and ran over.
When he saw the silver and banknotes in her bag, he was dumbfounded.
"Why are there so many?"
The old man had worked hard all his life, but he had never seen so much money at once.
"My goodness, including this banknote, it's almost a hundred taels!"
Qiu Niang looked at her husband and said, "Master, we can't take this money!"
The man said nothing.
"Boss, say something!"
The man then nodded: "This is too much. We only took them in for one night. We shouldn't give them so much." He didn't deny it.
The old man nodded, smoking a pipe: "That's right, the night before last, didn't they say they were coming to seek refuge with their relatives? Son-in-law, you remember who they went to seek refuge with in the city, right?"
The man nodded.
"Send it to them. We will feel uneasy holding so much silver."
Qiu Niang nodded in agreement.
The man was actually a little reluctant to give it up, as he couldn't earn that much money even if he worked outside for several years.
Qiu Niang called him twice: "Boss? Boss?"
The man came back to his senses: "What's wrong?"
"What are you thinking about? I just said that since we have nothing to do today, we will return the silver to others later!"
The man then nodded nonchalantly.
On the way there, the man wanted to speak several times, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say the words to stop himself, and soon he arrived at Du Xiu's room.
When the people in the embroidery room saw them coming, they hurried over to greet them and asked them what they wanted to buy...
Just as Qiu Niang was about to speak, the man finally made up his mind and pulled her out...
"Boss, what are you doing?"
The man then stammered, "I think... I think..."
Qiu Niang frowned immediately: "Boss, you don't want to return the money to others, do you?"
