Tangli held her in his arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her silently.
"Tangtang, I was really sad during that time. Dad passed away and Mom was sick, and I took care of everything by myself. Dad's funeral hadn't been handled yet, and the elders of the family wanted him to wear mourning clothes, but his family came and said they wanted to hand over Baoqing Pavilion to his uncle, so he didn't wear mourning clothes anymore."
"Dad always praised him for being filial and someone he could rely on, but he treated me like this."
That was the lowest point in her life. She was struggling to support her father's hard work. Later, her mother fell ill. If anything happened to her mother, she would not be able to survive.
It was Tangtang who helped her and gave her a hand.
Tangtang is the light in her life...
Lu Qing hugged Tang Li tightly.
Her mood gradually calmed down. In fact, she no longer liked Wang Cangshu. She just felt angry. How could Wang Cangshu still show affection to her when he treated her like that?
"A Qing, just throw the garbage into the trash can and don't think about it anymore." Tang Li said.
Lu Qing was amused by her.
Yes, garbage!
Wang Cangshu is trash!
This description is so apt!
After hearing what Tangtang said, she felt less sad.
…
In that dilapidated house, Wang Cangshu stood there blankly.
How did Ah Qing become like this?
He actually said such heartless words.
He made so much effort to be with Ah Qing, and even persuaded his mother not to look down on Ah Qing because of her identity as a businesswoman. His mother agreed... Why did Ah Qing get angry and not give him any chance?
Wang Cangshu felt very uncomfortable. He wanted to let it go, but he kept thinking of Ah Qing in his heart. When he closed his eyes, he saw her innocent and romantic look.
It was not until the medicine was boiled dry and made a "puffing" sound that Wang Cangshu suddenly came to his senses and went to get the medicine.
All of this was seen by Wang Cangshu's mother, Mrs. Du.
…
Lu Qing and Tang Li returned to the workshop together.
Lu Qing no longer felt uncomfortable and returned to his carefree self, directing the people in the workshop to work.
Baoqing Pavilion's business is getting better and better, and the scale of the workshop has been expanding again and again. Now there are more than fifty people in total.
To facilitate management, each process was assigned a manager, who then appointed a general manager, who reported directly to Lu Qing. This layered approach made management much easier for Lu Qing.
"Tangtang, I'm full of energy every day now. Tell me, is it okay if I don't get married?" Lu Qing came in front of Tangli and asked eagerly.
She was eighteen years old, not young anymore, and she was annoyed by the constant marriage proposals in her family, so she told her mother about it. Her mother burst into tears, saying it was for her own good, fearing that if she died, she would be left alone and without anyone to accompany her in the future.
But if she really married someone like Wang Cangshu, she would have to serve him and his mother for the rest of her life. What good would such a life have? She didn't want to stay at home and take care of her husband and children; she wanted to venture out into the world. She always felt that a woman shouldn't be confined to the small world of the backyard.
She didn't dare to mention it to her mother, so she wanted to ask Tangtang what she thought of her shocking idea.
"If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. Wait until you want to get married."
"What if you have never wanted to get married?" Lu Qing asked.
"Then let's not get married." Tang Li said.
Lu Qing's eyes lit up.
Tangtang can actually accept this idea!
"When you meet someone you want to marry, I'm afraid even eight cows can't stop you." Tang Li gently tapped Lu Qing's forehead.
Lu Qing's face flushed: "I won't do that!"
"Aqing, don't get married just for the sake of getting married, but to meet the right person. If you can't meet the right person, it's better not to get married." Tang Li said.
Lu Qing thought about it and felt that it was true. If she could meet a man like Tangtang's husband, who would be willing to accompany her no matter what Tangtang did, she would be willing to marry such a man.
She just wants to find someone who shares the same feelings with her!
Lu Qing suddenly understood that it was her luck to meet Tangtang.
Lu Qing originally wanted to stay away from the garbage, but she didn't expect that the garbage had legs and would jump to her by itself.
The person who came this time was not Wang Cangshu, but his mother Du.
Mrs. Du never liked her very much.
However, Lu Qing felt that it was not easy for her to raise Da Wang Cangshu. She worked hard to educate him and became ill.
Therefore, after she got engaged to Wang Cangshu, she treated Du very well and almost obeyed her every word.
Seeing that she was covered in pudding, Lu Qing would buy her clothes during festivals.
Mrs. Du had knee pain, so Lu Qing bought her an moxibustion bag and fumigated her knees to make her feel better.
Lu Qing knew that she was aloof, and always said that the things were given by others and it would be a waste to keep them.
During those two years, Lu Qing treated her like his own mother.
However, no matter how well she did, Mrs. Du didn't seem to change her opinion of her and was somewhat disgusted with her identity as a merchant's daughter.
What made Lu Qing most heartbroken was what happened after her father passed away. Mrs. Du was so aggressive that she actually wanted her brother to take over Baoqing Pavilion.
Now, looking at Mrs. Du standing outside the door, Lu Qing felt disgusted.
However, since she was an elder after all, Lu Qing still patiently called out, "Auntie Du."
Mrs. Du had a stern face. Although she was not yet forty, she looked much older, with graying hair, thinness, and a certain harshness to her.
She came to see Lu Qing out of shame because her son was not doing well. He was distracted by reading books every day and was thinking about a woman!
Mrs. Du was afraid that her son's future would be affected, so she came to find Lu Qing.
"I have something to tell you." Mrs. Du said.
"Then hurry up, I still have to go to the workshop to work." Lu Qing said.
Mrs. Du's expression suddenly turned ugly.
Lu Qing has always praised her, when has he ever spoken to her like this?
She's an elder! This girl doesn't respect her elders at all.
"Sister Du, you're here? Are you looking for Ah Qing? Why are you standing outside? Come in and sit down!"
Lu Qing's mother Ma saw Du and hurriedly said.
Mrs. Du originally wanted to turn around and leave, but after Mrs. Ma said that, she walked in.
Lu Qing had no choice but to follow him in. He couldn't just leave.
Ma quickly asked Du to sit down, and served her tea and water, being very attentive.
"Sister Du, why are you here? Is something wrong? How is Cang Shu now?" asked Ma.
"Cang Shu has returned from the academy. He has learned everything he needs to learn. Now he is reading at home and preparing for next year's provincial examination." Mrs. Du spoke of her son with some pride.
"Sister Ma, I came here today to talk about my two children." Mrs. Du said.
"Sister Du, you go ahead." Ma said with a smile.
Mrs. Du said, "I think Lu Qing is a good kid. I was impulsive when I said I wanted to cancel the engagement. These two kids are actually quite suitable. Sister Ma, what do you think?"
