The Eldest Sister Who Struck It Rich

The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.

Chapter 369: You know a person’s face but not his heart

Chapter 369: You know a person’s face but not his heart

Fortunately, the weather is good today, the autumn air is clear and cool, and it is not hot. If you take a walk, you can probably appreciate the pastoral scenery along the way.

Who knows, there might be some unexpected discoveries.

For example, a sudden inspiration may bring to mind a great idea such as opening a few more workshops.

Thinking in this way, Zhuang Qingning felt less bored when traveling alone and continued on his journey with great enthusiasm.

After all, Zhuang Qingning had bonuses of strength and agility, so he took big steps and walked fast along the way, but he didn't feel tired at all. He didn't even stop on the way and just walked all the way home.

"Is Ning girl back?"

Fan Wenxuan, who had just entered the yard and was drinking tea under the grape trellis in the yard, stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Mr. Fan?" Zhuang Qingning was a little surprised.

On weekdays, Fan Wenxuan came here almost every day to teach Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli to read, but he basically stayed for half a day and left before lunch.

It was already this time today, and Fan Wenxuan was still here. Zhuang Qingning couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Shouldn't Mr. Fan hurry back to teach Mr. Chu San to read?"

"That's not necessary..."

As soon as Fan Wenxuan finished speaking, he heard laughter and talking coming from inside the room.

If you listen carefully, you can hear Zhuang Qingsui, Zhuang Mingli, and another voice that sounds unfamiliar but is recognizable as a boy about the same age as Zhuang Qingsui.

"Mr. Chu San is here too?" Zhuang Qingning smiled, looking at Fan Wenxuan's carefree appearance. After helping to add a cup of tea, she couldn't help but teasing, "No wonder Mr. Fan is so free, it turns out someone is already helping Mr. Fan with his work."

When his lazy thoughts were exposed, Fan Wenxuan's face immediately turned red.

But the redness disappeared in a flash, and he was quite disapproving, "As the saying goes, teaching and learning benefit each other."

"And I see that Jin Zhou and Ming Li get along pretty well. It would be nice if the two of them could become playmates."

We can get along well.

Zhuang Qingning blinked his eyes and listened to the giggling sounds from inside. He felt that these three people did not look like they were giving a literacy class at all. He became curious and could not help but sticking his head in to take a look.

The three of them were gathered in front of the desk. Zhuang Qingsui lowered his head and concentrated on grinding ink. Chu Jinzhou and Zhuang Mingli both held their pens and were concentrating...

Draw a little turtle on the back of your partner’s hand.

"Hurry up, both of you. Come back after you finish painting." Zhuang Qingsui kept urging them.

"I'm done." Chu Jinzhou finished drawing the little turtle first and put down his pen.

"I'm done too." Zhuang Mingli was not willing to be outdone. He put down his pen and clenched his fists. "Come on, let's do it again. Whoever loses this time will draw two."

"Two is two." Chu Jinzhou nodded vigorously in agreement, clenched his fist and said to Zhuang Mingli, "Come on, let's see who can win."

Rock - Scissors - Paper!

Rock - Scissors - Paper!

"Hahaha, you lost again." Zhuang Mingli laughed so hard that he fell backwards. He picked up the pen, lifted Chu Jinzhou's sleeve and continued to draw the little turtle.

Huh! If he hadn't lifted his sleeves, he wouldn't have known. Once he lifted his sleeves, Zhuang Qingning saw that Chu Jinzhou had a dense mass of little turtles on his hands from the back of his hands to his wrists and arms.

Zhuang Qingning, "..."

Then he looked at Fan Wenxuan seriously.

Mr. Fan, does Lord Chu know that you teach students this way? He had come into contact with Lord Chu Jinnian several times. If he was awake, it should be twice. And during these two times, although Chu Jinnian did not have a stern face, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be trying to smile, Zhuang Qingning always felt that Chu Jinnian was probably not someone who was easy to mess with.

But Mr. Fan...

But it is also true that Chu Jinnian respects Fan Wenxuan extremely, and always puts him first, and seems willing to meet any of his requests.

Probably, as long as Mr. Fan thinks it is reasonable, even if my brother has arms full of little turtles, ahem, it’s not a big deal!

Thinking of this, Zhuang Qingning couldn't help smacking his lips, "This Lord Chu really respects Mr. Fan very much."

Fan Wenxuan, who was sipping his tea leisurely, almost jumped up when he heard this.

Putting the teacup in his hand back on the stone table beside him, Fan Wenxuan stared at Zhuang Qingning again and again, especially at Zhuang Qingning's eyes, examining them carefully.

"Mr. Fan, what are you looking at?" Zhuang Qingning was extremely surprised when he saw Fan Wenxuan's actions.

"I was thinking, your eyes are clear, it doesn't look like you have an eye disease..."

Fan Wenxuan looked extremely distressed.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If you are not blind, where does this illusion come from?

Chu Jinnian respects him? This person must have been mentally ill for ten years to say this, not even a year less.

But if you think about it carefully, Chu Jinnian did save Zhuang Qingning. In Zhuang Qingning's heart, Chu Jinnian is her savior. It is normal to have a good first impression of her.

Moreover, Chu Jinnian is a person who values ​​talent, so who knows how he will behave in front of Zhuang Qingning. It is very likely that he has something up his sleeve.

So after thinking about it, Zhuang Qingning was definitely completely deceived by Chu Jinnian's hypocritical appearance.

"Miss Zhuang, as the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. You still need to spend a long time with him to know his true nature. There is no need to draw conclusions too early."

Fan Wenxuan spoke with great sincerity, and there was even a hint of grief in his tone.

Zhuang Qingning heard it clearly and understood the implication of Fan Wenxuan's words.

In other words, Chu Jinnian...

He had great respect for Fan Wenxuan, but was despised by him? For a moment, Zhuang Qingning felt that Chu Jinnian seemed a little pitiful, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Yes, Mr. Fan is absolutely right." Zhuang Qingning nodded.

Following Fan Wenxuan's words, it would probably make Chu Jinnian less embarrassed, and it could be considered a way for her to repay her lifesaver? Seeing that Zhuang Qingning was willing to listen to his words, Fan Wenxuan stroked his beard and smiled.

He was very pleased to know that the boy was teachable.

"Mr. Fan, did you have lunch here?" Zhuang Qingning quickly changed the subject, "Did you finish your meal?"

Zhuang Qingsui can cook, so entertaining two people is not a problem, but her cooking skills are limited. Fan Wenxuan must be used to eating delicious food in the Chu family, so he may not be able to get used to it.

Fan Wenxuan is Zhuang Qingsui's husband, and he doesn't ask for any tuition. Zhuang Qingning feels that she should treat Fan Wenxuan well within her means.

"Not bad." Fan Wenxuan said with a smile, "Bring some steamed vegetable rolls from Mingli's house."
