Chapter 063: The heroine's halo, the heart of a saint
"In that case, thank you in advance!" The words had been said, and Gu Yue could only accept it.
Unexpectedly, she came here today just to embarrass herself. She originally wanted to make Su Wan feel inferior, but in the end, she became the one who suffered the most.
It's nothing, just self-humiliation!
The smile on Gu Yue's face was really forced. Su Wan had already gone back to the house to get her some soap.
"Luckily I saved a few for myself. You're just as lucky as me if you came early!"
Su Wan was very considerate and packaged the soap before giving it to her.
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to be so amazing and be able to make something so good. I'm really ashamed of myself!"
Gu Yue did not reach out to take it, but signaled with her eyes to the maid Qiu'er beside her.
Qiu'er stepped forward and snatched the soap from Su Wan's hand. Her nails accidentally scratched the skin on the back of her hand. A red mark instantly appeared on Su Wan's fair and tender hand, and faint blood seeped out of it.
Su Wan hissed, and seeing this, Su Chen immediately came over and picked up her hand to check. Su Yi and Su Yun also jumped up from their chairs.
"Wanwan, are you okay?"
Su Wan shook his head:
"I'm fine, Third Brother, it's just a small problem!"
She hadn't expected Qiu'er's attitude. She did have an impression of this little maid, who had served her in the past. Later, she made a mistake and was fined a month's salary by her former owner, so she held a grudge against her!
Su Yi immediately ran back to the house to get medicine. Their family often worked and would injure their hands, so his second brother specially bought some ointment.
"How dare you! Kneel down now!"
Seeing this, Gu Yue immediately scolded Qiu'er, and Qiu'er knelt down reluctantly.
"What are you doing? Why don't you apologize to Su Wan? She was your master after all, and you are so reckless in your actions!"
Qiu'er originally wanted to stand up for Gu Yue and take the opportunity to vent her anger, but she didn't expect the young lady to get so angry.
"Miss Su, I was wrong, I didn't mean it!"
She lowered her head and twisted her fingers. If Su Wan cared about such a small matter, it would be her who was being narrow-minded.
"It's okay. Since it was an unintentional mistake, it wouldn't be right for me to hold on to it. But you have to serve Miss Gu on a daily basis, and it's better to cut your fingernails so long, so as not to accidentally hurt Miss Gu."
"I understand, thank you Miss Su for the reminder!" Qiu'er still spoke in a reluctant tone, pouting as if she was forced.
Su Yi had already taken out the ointment for Su Wan to apply.
"It might be a little painful, Wanwan, bear with it!"
"Fifth brother, don't be so nervous. It's not a big deal. It will heal sooner or later." Su Wan smiled helplessly. Seeing her fifth brother's concern for her, she was still very happy in her heart.
"It's bleeding, how can it not be serious?" Su Chen echoed from the side.
This scene hurt Gu Yue, and her face turned paler.
Seeing that Su Wan was fine, Su Yun turned around to comfort Gu Yue.
"Yueyue, don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you!" As he said that, he glared at Qiu'er.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue just smiled at him awkwardly. She felt so uncomfortable that she almost got up and left on the spot.
Everyone sat in the yard for a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward, until Chen Yinghong ran over happily.
I heard her shouting from outside the yard:
"Yueyue, you're back"
She knew that her good sister had returned to the village, so she came to her to reminisce about the past, but Gu Yue did not show much happiness.
"Yinghong, long time no see, how are you?" Chen Yinghong ran over and held Gu Yue's hand.
Gu Yue felt a little disgusted, but couldn't let her go.
"I'm fine. How about you? Are you doing well at Gu's house?"
"Of course I'm fine. My parents are very good to me." Gu Yue thought to herself, you are talking nonsense. Of course my biological parents are good to me.
"I really envy you. You have someone to wait on you every day and you have such beautiful clothes to wear. Unlike me, I can only work in the fields every day. Recently, my parents have been arranging a marriage for me and plan to marry me off in two years, but I don't want to get married at all. If I have to marry, I will only marry someone I love!"
Chen Yinghong said this as soon as she arrived, and she glanced at Su Yun when she said the last sentence.
"But you're only thirteen, and in two years you'll be fifteen. It's too early to get married. My mother said it's best for girls to get married when they're seventeen or eighteen."
"I'm not like you. My family doesn't spoil me wherever I go. Our family is not well off. I have an older brother and a younger brother. If I don't get married when I'm old enough, I'll have to stay at home and eat free meals. My mother wanted to marry me off so that she could get a dowry for my brother to get married!" Chen Yinghong is also a poor person. She was born in a family that favors boys over girls.
Gu Yue showed sympathy on her face, and the others said nothing. It was none of their business anyway, and they didn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs.
Besides, Su Wan and Chen Yinghong don't get along, so why worry about it?
But at this moment, Gu Yue's halo of the heroine appeared. She thought about it and said directly to Chen Yinghong:
"How about this, Yinghong? You don't want to get married anyway. I'm usually alone in the Gu Mansion and don't have anyone I know to confide in. Why don't you come work for me in the future? I'll give you a monthly salary, and when you find someone you like in the future, I'll let you go and marry the person you like."
When Gu Yue said this, Chen Yinghong's eyes lit up instantly, and then her eyes turned red.
"Really? Yueyue, are you willing to save me?"
"Of course, we are best sisters. How could I not help you if you are in trouble?"
Chen Yinghong hugged Gu Yue's waist and buried her whole body in her chest. Although Gu Yue disguised herself well, Su Wan still saw her head tilted back.
"Yueyue, you are so kind! You are the kindest girl I have ever met!"
Seeing this, Su Yun also smiled with relief.
He thought to himself that his Yueyue was such a beautiful and kind person, which made him very happy.
Su Chen also laughed. He glanced at Su Yi, who shrugged indifferently.
"Then hurry back and tell your parents that I'll give you five taels of silver as a monthly stipend. Then pack your things and come back to the mansion with me later. I'll let Qiu'er go with you."
Gu Yue invited Qiu'er to follow Chen Yinghong to her home to be a witness.
Qiu'er looked at Chen Yinghong and felt that her position was threatened. Although she was very reluctant, she still followed her.
When she gets to the Gu Mansion, if she dares to ask for the young lady's credit in front of her, she will definitely find a way to deal with her.
What's more, I am also a personal maid, and I only get four taels of silver a month. Why should she get five taels?
When Chen Yinghong's parents heard that they would be given five taels of silver as a monthly stipend, they agreed immediately and happily helped their daughter pack her clothes.
Qiu'er said that she didn't need to take these tattered clothes with her, and she would naturally be given maid's clothes to wear when the time came.
He even said that he was working for the richest man's family. He was so shabby, it brought shame to the Gu family.
