Aunt Xiuying looked at her quietly for a while and said, "Come with me."

Walking to a deserted place, she spoke again, "Originally I didn't want to say it, but thinking about your family, it would be a good thing to know her better, so I'm telling you."

Aunt Xiuying looked into the distance and recalled the past: "When Ruchu was sent here, she was still very small, still in her cradle, white and tender, very cute, and we fell in love with her at first sight."

"Then why don't you adopt her?" Tang Xinge asked with a frown.

Aunt Xiuying smiled, "Do you think we don't want to? But we can't even raise our own children, so how can we afford to raise someone else's child?"

But Qin Ruchu was so cute that they couldn't bear to see her go back to heaven before she had a good look at this world, so they decided to raise her together.

Qin Ruchu was also very easy to take care of. She would eat whatever we gave her and she never made a fuss.

She lived like this until she was 15 years old.

At the age of 15, Qin Ruchu asked the most: why do other people have parents, but she doesn't?

How could they bear to tell her the truth? They could only tell her that she also had parents, but they were busy and couldn't come to see her.

So she waited at the door every day, waiting for her parents to come back to see her.

To be honest, Zhuangzi was quite kind. It took a 18-year-old child a long time to walk from their residence to the door, but she walked through it regardless of the weather. They wanted to tell her the truth, but they were afraid that she could not bear it.

Until one day, she accidentally overheard their conversation and learned the truth, and she never went there again.

Also from that day on, she grew up and became sensible.

She would help any family that had work to do.

They knew that Qin Ruchu was afraid that they would abandon her too, and when the time came, there would really be no place for her to stay.

In this way, when Qin Ruchu was sixteen years old, she was taken back to the general's mansion.

Tang Xinge felt heartbroken after hearing this and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What are you whispering about over there?" Qin Ruchu's voice came from a distance.

"Nothing." Aunt Xiuying walked towards her.

Qin Ruchu didn't believe it, her eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and she said with her hands behind her back, "Do you have any more secrets?"

How long have you known each other? Why is he keeping a secret from her?

Aunt Xiuying tapped her forehead and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Miss Tang just asked me if there is anything fun nearby."

"Oh, it's a rare opportunity to come here, it would be a shame if we don't have some fun." Tang Xinge lowered her long eyelashes to hide the tears in her eyes, and said with a sweet smile.

Qin Ruchu didn't notice that she was not right, and rubbed his forehead and said, "Then you are wrong. There is nothing fun nearby."

Although there are mountains and lakes, the scenery is so-so. Besides, she doesn't have time to accompany her young lady on a tour. Even if she has time, she won't be responsible if something happens to her, so she'd better stay here quietly.

"Okay." Tang Xinge pouted and answered unhappily.

In fact, she couldn't tell that Qin Ruchu didn't want to take her out to play, but it didn't matter. She wanted to play with her, so no matter where they went, she would stick to her.

While they were talking, a group of people came to where they were staying and started talking about serious matters.

"Chu Chu, what do you mean by doing things?" Wang Weiqiang asked while rubbing his knees.

놆Is that what he understood?

놆 huh?

"I'd like you to help me manage the store." Qin Ruchu gave a positive answer.

Everyone cheered.

"Aren't you too happy too early?" Aunt Xiuying poured cold water on them: "Do you know how to manage a store? You can't even be a waiter, right?"

The waiters are not expected to be eloquent, smart and capable. These two words have nothing to do with them. They probably can't even speak when they see the customers. Don't waste a good shop.

"It's okay. These are very simple. I will have someone train you." Qin Ruchu comforted them with a smile. The smile that came from the heart was particularly contagious.

꺶's nervousness was swept away, and he thanked her from the bottom of his heart: "Chu Chu, you are so nice."

"Then you guys should be nice to us first. By the way, I'll pick four people this time, Brother Gang, Brother Yong, Brother Lei, and Brother Qiang. Don't be discouraged if you're not chosen. I'll pick you guys next time."

I was a little disappointed when I wasn't chosen, but I heard there would be a next time, and I was instantly revived with full health.

Those who were chosen couldn't stop smiling.

The ones who laughed the happiest were Aunt Xiuying and Aunt Guilan, because Qin Ru was the first to choose their son.

Qin Ruchu chose them because, besides Aunt Xiuying and Aunt Guilan who helped her the most, they were also smart, knew how to read people's faces, and were observant. They could get the hang of it after a little training. The others were stupid and naive, and if they said something wrong and offended the guests...

After finishing the business, Qin Ruchu went back, and everyone warmly asked her to stay and leave after dinner.

Qin Ruchu looked at the sky and said, "No, it's too late."

If you don't go back now, you will miss the time when the city gates close.

"Take this fish back and eat it." Xiuying stuffed a mackerel into her hand.

She was originally going to exchange it for money.

The older son had married, but the younger son hadn't yet, so she could only find ways to save money.

Qin Ruchu also knew her situation and returned the fish to her: "I can't."

"Here you go, take it. I don't need it."

It's a rare trip for her, so she can't go back empty-handed.

The others watched this scene with gritted teeth, but they could only watch. Who made them unprepared? There was nothing in the house that could be used.

You can't just give me two green vegetables and two handfuls of wheat, right?

It's not too cold.

When Tang Yiqian arrived and saw this scene, Qin Ruchu was holding a mackerel in his hand, with a smile in his black eyes, and was talking to the people.

"How can you take other people's things?" Tang Yiqian's voice was gentle, but his words were unpleasant to the ear.

"What's it got to do with you?" Qin Ruchu rolled her eyes and said in a sneer.

Tang Yiqian saw that Qin Ruchu was not convinced, so he turned to the villagers and asked, "How much? I will pay you."

"No, this is for Chuchu." Aunt Xiuying said with a smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"Brother, come with me." Tang Xinge pulled Tang Yiqian aside.

"What's the matter?" Tang Yiqian shook off her hand and straightened his sleeve which was a little messy because of her grip.

Tang Xinge was so angry at his look that she stamped her feet and said, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Tang Yiqian looked at her in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Tang Xinge had the urge to hit him: "How could you say something like that to your sister-in-law?"

Tang Yiqian was even more confused: "Did I say something wrong?"

Judging from the way those people were dressed, they must not be rich. The mackerel should have been exchanged for money by them. How could Qin Ruchu accept it?

The Marquis' Mansion has no shortage of food for her.

But the family who gave her the mackerel was short of this mackerel.

After hearing what Tang Yiqian said, Tang Xinge looked at him in astonishment, and after a while she said, "But do you know who sent the mackerel to my sister-in-law? The person who raised her."

If you are an ordinary citizen, then of course you can't do it.

But Aunt Xiuying and the others are not ordinary people, they are Qin Ruchu's family.

When a mother gives her daughter mackerel as a gift, why can't she take it?

"Isn't that a servant?" Tang Yiqian frowned.
