After arriving at Gu's residence and having dinner, Gu Shiliang was very sensible tonight and went to sleep in the study. The two sisters were sure to have a candlelight chat all night long.
"Looking at you, your brother-in-law must treat you very well." The two sisters slept on the same bed at night. Ji Qingwan was really envious of Ji Yiwan's current life.
"It's not easy for women to survive, so when a woman gets married, she must marry someone who is a good person. Maybe the love is not passionate enough, maybe the life is not affluent enough, but a good person will definitely be someone who can live a good life." Ji Yiwan said.
"Yes, you must marry someone who is already good. Back then, you even said that Uncle Thirteen was making things difficult for Shanzhi, but you didn't even think about who Uncle Thirteen was doing it for." Ji Qingwan laughed at the memory of that time. When she was young, Mu Ai knew that her younger sister had already fallen in love with someone at first sight. How could she have thought of so much?
"That's because he's good to begin with." Ji Yiwan felt a little embarrassed.
"Well, I am really envious of you riding here today, and I am lucky to have you here." Ji Qingwan said.
"Yes, fortunately I am here and can be filial to my parents. Now that my sister is here, my uncle and aunt don't have to wait for me every day." Ji Yiwan replied.
"You." Ji Qingwan did not continue the topic. The two sisters chatted until the early morning. Although they had not seen each other for a long time, they still had endless things to talk about.
The next day, Ji Yiwan woke up early and went to the academy. Ji Qingwan followed her maid to the academy and was completely shocked. This was a world she had never imagined. From the teachers to the students, everyone here was so full of energy and high spirits.
She fell in love with this place at once, so much so that when Ji Yiwan asked her to stay in the academy, she agreed without hesitation.
"Sister-in-law? What are you doing sneaking around like that?" Ji Yiwan saw Qin Qiuyue looking outside furtively at the back door of the academy.
"Hush." Qin Qiuyue signaled Ji Yiwan to keep her voice down, then waved her hand, asking Ji Yiwan to come over. Ji Yiwan walked over cautiously and looked out along the line of Qin Qiuyue's hand.
It was a family of three and a girl. Ji Yiwan knew the girl, Qin Xiaocao, who was a student at the college. She was ten years old and came from a very poor family. Apart from her college uniform, her other clothes were all patched up. She was in very poor health and had been in the college for almost a year, but she still looked very thin.
The father and son, however, looked plump and fair. Their clothes, though not of good material, were new. They looked completely different. The woman was a carbon copy of Qin Xiaocao.
"If we hadn't sent you here, you wouldn't be living the good life you have now. You have to know that you will get married eventually. Only when your brother is well will you be well, and only then will you have someone to support you in the future." Following the man's familiar words, Ji Yiwan and Qin Qiuyue clenched their fists.
"That's right, I want to eat meat. Give me the meat! Otherwise, I won't care about you anymore. I'll just sell you off." The fat kid said as he took a few steps forward and started to attack. Although he didn't know how old the boy was, he was Qin Xiaocao's younger brother, and he was much bigger. Compared to Qin Xiaocao, he was really tall and strong.
"Ah!" Qin Xiaocao instinctively fought back. After all, she had been taking martial arts lessons for almost a year, and she was working extra hard. The little fat boy was thrown flat on his face. Ji Yiwan felt relieved when she saw it, but unfortunately Qin Xiaocao was too thin and weak, and her strength was still insufficient.
"You little bitch, you dare to fight back? Who are you to hit your brother?" The man was furious and was about to hit Qin Xiaocao. The woman stepped forward to block Qin Xiaocao, but was pushed to the ground by the fat boy.
"Get away from me, you old woman. How dare you hit me?" Fatty was obviously furious.
"Mom." Qin Xiaocao was extremely anxious when she saw her mother being pushed to the ground. She rushed over, and the father and son punched and kicked Qin Xiaocao, and then she was hugged by her mother. All the punches and kicks fell on the woman.
"Stop it! Who allowed you to act so recklessly here?" Ji Yiwan pushed the door open and walked out.
"Throw them both out." Ji Yiwan immediately called the guards to throw the father and son out. Qin Qiuyue also stepped forward to help lift the mother and daughter up.
"Teacher." Qin Xiaocao couldn't help crying when she saw Qin Qiuyue and Ji Yiwan.
"Don't cry, take your mother back first, I'll check her injuries." Qin Qiuyue frowned.
"No, don't bother, I'll go back now." The woman endured the pain and followed him out.
"Mom, why are you going back? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't care about them." Qin Xiaocao didn't want to be a punching bag, but she just couldn't let go of her mother.
"······Xiaocao, I'm sorry for you, but I have no other choice. Your three sisters were sold by him. I can only stay there to get news about them. From now on, no matter what they say, you don't care. You are lucky. Now you have the protection of the ladies. He dare not make plans against you again. Today, they were caught by the ladies and they dare not come again. You'd better not come back in the future. Live a good life, okay?" The woman stroked Xiaocao's face with trembling hands.
But then she stopped. Her hands were too rough and would hurt her grass. The grass pressed the woman's hands against her face, tears streaming down her face. The woman turned and knelt before Qin Qiuyue and Ji Yiwan. She kowtowed three times and said nothing.
"Wait." Ji Yiwan spoke immediately when she saw the woman was about to leave.
"You are still injured, so you should stay here for now. As for your three daughters, I will talk to the county magistrate. I believe there will be news soon. Xiaocao will not be at ease if you go back like this." Ji Yiwan is the county magistrate's wife now, so it is not difficult for her to find a few people.
