Chapter 111 A Sense of Responsibility

Yao Shula's words left everyone speechless.

Gu Xiaoman thought for a moment, and was about to say that she actually had the same feeling when she looked in the mirror...

Yao Shula continued to speak.

"Really, that's how I feel."

"Also, I really hope someone will say a couple of things to me. Can you guess what they'll say?" Yao Shula looked at everyone.

Everyone immediately shook their heads.

Who dares to insult her! She's the kind of person who'll brandish a cleaver and overturn a table at the slightest provocation.

What she likes most to be insulted by...

They dare not know.

Seeing that none of them spoke, Yao Shula immediately smiled.

"Seriously, I love it when people insult me, but nobody ever insults me like this!"

The first thing he said was, "What are you so arrogant about? You just have a few stinking bucks, right?"

Lei Jingwu, Gu Changqin, Gu Xiaoman...

"And what else? What's the other sentence?" Gu Xiaoman subconsciously felt that the sentence must also be one she liked.

"My second point is, what are you so arrogant about? So what if you're a little prettier?" Yao Shula continued.

Gu Xiaoman...

Actually, she quite likes it when people say those two things to her, especially the second one.

Yao Shula's words inexplicably made Lei Jingwu breathe a sigh of relief.

Every word Yao Shula said surprised him, yet it felt both reasonable and logical coming from her.

"You... I thought you were going to say something more serious!" Gu Changqin finally managed to utter this sentence after a long pause.

Yao Shula chuckled.

You don't think I'm going to say anything bitter or resentful, do you?

Impossible!

I now even prefer listening to disco versions on the radio; it's so invigorating!

How could I possibly make myself live such a tiring life!

Alright, let's eat! It's getting late, you should head back after you finish eating.

"Stop overthinking all the time." Yao Shula gestured for everyone to eat quickly.

Everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks again.

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian frantically served Yao Shula food.

"Big sister, you'll definitely become more and more arrogant and richer in the future," Yao Shuli said earnestly.

Little Tiantian nodded vigorously.

"Yeah, not only is the more arrogant she is, the richer she becomes, but she's also incredibly cool and beautiful!"

Yao Shula immediately and happily fed the two children some meat.

How could children lie! They're clearly telling the truth!

...

After finishing her meal, Yao Shula began clearing the table.

Gu Xiaoman wanted to lend a hand, but Yao Shula stopped her.

"Young Miss, this isn't your job. For the sake of keeping our bowls intact, you should go back with your brother and the others as soon as possible!"

"I...I want to help!" Gu Xiaoman said hurriedly.

"I know, but everyone has their own strengths. If you're not good at washing dishes, then don't try."

"Just like when you're selling goods, you're so confident, no one can compare!" Yao Shula said with a smile.

Gu Xiaoman chuckled, very pleased with herself.

She's very useful! She can do a lot of things!

She wasn't actually the pampered young lady that others described as someone who only knew how to have everything done for her.

Lei Jingwu took Gu Changqin and Gu Xiaoman back to the county guesthouse.

Gu Xiaoman was busy all day and only then did she feel a little tired. She went back to her room and fell asleep immediately.

Gu Changqin insisted on having a couple of drinks with Lei Jingwu.

...

"Lei Jingwu, don't you think Yao Shula is a bit strange?" Gu Changqin poured a glass of wine for both of them.

"What's so strange about it? Is it strange just because we don't know what she particularly likes?" Lei Jingwu said with a smile, raising his wine glass.

Gu Changqin thought for a moment and then hummed in agreement.

"I just think she's so strange. She's usually so fierce, but when she looks at Tian Tian and her younger siblings, her eyes are full of smiles."

They are completely different from how they act towards outsiders.

Also, I've met quite a few women, don't glare at me, I've just met more women than you.

Whether old or young, everyone has things they like.

Children love dolls and pretty clothes. As they get older, they like more things, such as clothes, jewelry, and bags. No matter what kind of woman she is, she will like them.

Just look at Xiaoman and you'll know.

They must have grown up in luxury! They've never suffered any hardship, and their room is overflowing with clothes and jewelry.

But when they see something beautiful, their eyes still light up.

Look at Yao Shula again... When she sees those clothes, she's definitely thinking about how much money they can sell for, not how good they would look on her!

"She seems to have no desires or wants," Gu Changqin couldn't help but say.

Lei Jingwu smiled.

"Don't use your brain to think about Yao Shula."

Who says Yao Shula is without desires? She only has her younger siblings in her eyes, and her heart is filled with responsibility.

She had to raise her younger siblings all by herself; that was an enormous burden.

She's different from the other women you've met, so try not to offend her, okay?

If you offend her, don't even mention me, even Tian Tian won't let you off the hook. Just wait for Tian Tian to complain to her father-in-law, and then get a scolding from your old man!

After Lei Jingwu finished speaking, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in his hand.

Gu Changqin snorted, then suddenly looked at Lei Jingwu.

"Why are you being a little protective of her?"

"She takes very good care of Tiantian. Look how cute and lively Tiantian is now. Isn't this what we all want to see?"

Anyway, I admire her. She is neither arrogant nor humble, protects her younger siblings, and is good at managing the household.

"I personally feel that having her by my side every day is better than having her by my third uncle's side," Lei Jingwu said bluntly.

Gu Changqin thought about it and realized that seemed to be the case.

Yao Shula... It's really not easy for her. She's managed to turn her originally tough life into something so successful. She's definitely got some skills.

Anyway, I still don't believe she doesn't have anything she likes.

"Yes, definitely! We just haven't discovered it yet!" Gu Changqin said confidently.

"So what if you know?" Lei Jingwu stared at Gu Changqin.

"I...I thank her! Thank you for taking such good care of Tiantian! Don't worry, I was just curious."

"Anyway, you don't know either. I'll ask someone else another day!" Gu Changqin said, finishing his drink.

"Who are you planning to ask? Xiaoman? It'll be a bit difficult for Xiaoman to get information out of Yao Shula!" Lei Jingwu immediately shook his head.

"Who said Xiaoman should ask?"

I'll ask someone else.

"Who are you looking for? Do you know anyone else in Yun County?" Lei Jingwu was a little skeptical.

“Go find Tiantian! He’s always clinging to his older sister, so he must know what she likes!” Gu Changqin said confidently.

...

Soon, Gu Changqin took the opportunity of taking Xiao Tiantian out to play to gather information.

"What does your sister Shura like?"

"You like me! And you like me the most! Didn't I tell you?" Xiao Tiantian rolled her eyes at Gu Changqin as if he were an idiot.
