Chapter 144 Xie Xun's Identity
The woman smiled awkwardly, "My Ni'er is different from you. You are the daughter of an official family, while my Ni'er is just a wild girl from the countryside."
Li Mumu shook her head. "They're all the same. What's the difference?"
"this……"
Qin Ling glanced at the speechless woman and said, "Wang'er's mother, I didn't understand before, but now I see that this little girl can be very useful if she studies. Why don't you understand?"
"Village chief, I... then there will be no one to help me with the work." The woman smiled sheepishly, "My daughter is stupid, how can she compare with others? She can't even recognize a few words, isn't it a waste? Let her brother go alone."
The little girl followed her mother timidly, biting her lip. She was not very old, but looked two or three years older than Li Mumu.
Li Mumu looked at the timid little girl and realized that this girl should be Tao Ni. She was timid and cowardly. Later, in order for her brother to have a marriage, she chose a marriage exchange. In other words, she married into the man's family, and the man's family married another girl.
There is no need to pay for betrothal gifts or dowry.
However, the man she was going to marry was more than ten years older than her, and had a bad temper and was violent. She died from domestic violence while pregnant.
But no one from her family stood up for her.
Li Mumu felt sad when she thought about the plot.
She held the girl's hand, which was still warm, and said, "Sister Nizi, do you want to come to my house to learn to read and write?"
Nizi shook her head and said, "No, studying is useless. When I grow up, I will marry someone to help my brother find a wife!"
Wang'er's mother glared at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it shameful to talk about getting married at such a young age?"
Nizi was so scared that she lowered her head even deeper.
But Li Mumu didn't give up. "Studying is very useful. It can help you learn to read and use your knowledge to make money."
Although Li Mumu is young, no one doubts what she says.
After all, in everyone's eyes, she is just a knowledgeable and capable girl.
Wang'er's mother's eyes lit up, "Mumu, can my daughter be as capable as you? It would be nice if she could become a doctor. She could make money treating illnesses and then she wouldn't have to worry about her family members getting sick."
Li Mumu nodded. "Of course you can, but if you can't even read, how can you understand medical books and prescribe medicine for others?"
"That's right." Wang'er's mother was delighted. "Mumu has said so. If you are willing, you can give it a try. Whether it works depends on your own luck. If not, then don't waste everyone's time."
Nizi's eyes lit up visibly. She wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare. "Mom, I want to play with my sister Mumu."
Li Mumu breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps there wasn't much she could do because she was restricted by the various settings in the book.
But she couldn't look at the person standing right in front of her, even if he was just an insignificant passerby. But since she had met him, she wanted to try to help him.
"What are you playing for? I asked you to go there to learn skills. If you don't study hard, watch out for your skin." The woman said and smiled at Li Mumu.
Qin Ling nodded. "That's more like it. If I were to say, it's because Miss Mumu is a good person. Otherwise, why would I need to persuade you about such a good thing? It's less worrying for her."
Wang'er's mother chuckled and did not refute. She was not very knowledgeable. She had been working since she was born, then got married, and after getting married, she continued to work and had children. She had never thought about anything else.
"Did you hear me? If you have any girls who are fine, you can send them there. I'll say it again, they're there to learn to read and become capable, not to cause trouble. If anyone can't manage their children well, I'll show no mercy and tell them to get out of here as soon as possible."
Old Master Qin spoke the ugly words upfront, and he was also very authoritative in the village, which saved the Gu family a lot of trouble.
Old Man Gu watched from the side without saying a word from beginning to end, but he knew what was going on. No wonder his little granddaughter insisted on coming to this poorest village.
Although he is a bit poor, he is indeed humane. After all, no one is perfect and everyone has their own flaws.
After drinking two taels of wine, Mr. Gu became clearer in the cold wind. He looked at the children running home, smiled and talked to himself.
"My little girl, when she's stupid, she's really stupid, and when she's smart, she's really smart too. She's blessed, blessed."
Xie Xun watched Li Mumu playing with her brothers from the side, and couldn't help but smile.
Although every day during his exile with the Gu family was very hard, he had to admit that it was the most solid and humane life he had lived in the past ten years.
"Aren't you planning to go back to the capital?" Xie Xun asked in a low voice.
Gu Jian smiled, his eyes deep, giving people an unfathomable feeling, "At the beginning, I was still thinking about clearing my grievances, but now I feel that this kind of life is quite solid."
"Are you disappointed that a loyal minister of many years deliberately punished you because of Li Yuan's problem?" Xie Xun asked.
"You just don't listen, don't forget how you survived?"
Xie Xun smiled bitterly, "I will never forget, you saved my life."
Gu Jian smiled faintly, "I don't ask you to remember who saved you, but you must understand the meaning of your survival."
"I know why I survived, so I can't just sit back and watch!" Xie Xun's eyes were determined. "He treated his own son like this. Witchcraft, haha. Since he believes in it, isn't he afraid that the people he wrongly killed will come after him for revenge?"
"Xie Xun, your surname is Xie." Gu Jian reminded in a cold voice.
"You saved me, didn't you think my father was wronged?" Xie Xun was a little excited. "Don't tell me that you saved me without asking me to seek justice for my father and let the world know that the current emperor is a man who is afraid of even his own son and must punish him immediately."
"Xie Xun!" Gu Jian spoke again to remind him of his identity.
Xie Xun also gradually calmed down, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Mr. Gu knew that as a ten-year-old child, he had actually done very well.
"Xie Xun, before you have enough strength to take responsibility for what you say, watch your words."
"But you are not a stranger."
Mr. Gu was speechless after hearing his words.
"You risked your life to save me and had someone raise me. Even though you've never met me, I know you did this to protect me. If I can't trust you wholeheartedly, who else can I trust?"
Gu Jian sighed. He was just a child after all. "Live well."
Xie Xun understood, the implication was that the time was not right yet.
Okay, then he waits.
One day, he will let the world know the truth.
