Chapter 58 Qiu Yu Ruo decides to...
When Qiu Yuruo decided to tell Su Yunting her secret, the first thing she did was go to the door and check if the gate was secure.
Only after confirming that there were only the two of them in the entire house did she pull Su Yunting into the main room.
Qiu Yu asked him to sit down first, and she prepared to sit opposite him, but Su Yunting held her hand tightly.
Qiu Yuruo: "I have something important to tell you."
Su Yunting still wouldn't let go: "Sit here and talk, I'm listening."
Although she felt in her heart that he wouldn't mind her past experiences, Qiu Yuruo was still worried that if something went wrong, she wouldn't be able to bear the fear and avoidance in his eyes.
The thought of that possibility filled Qiu Yuruo with bitterness. She didn't look at him, but used her other hand to pry his fingers apart one by one. "Let's sit across from each other and talk. That will seem more formal."
Qiu Yuruo pried open his fingers that were gripping hers, turned around to go to the other side, but was hugged from behind by Su Yunting.
How could he not sense the unease in her heart? Even if Su Yunting didn't know everything about her secret, he had already guessed the general idea.
The moment she left his side, he stood up and hugged her, whispering, "Don't be afraid. No matter what memories you have or what other experiences you have, I'll always be by your side, forever."
Qiu Yuruo's heart skipped a beat. "What did you guess?"
Su Yunting tightened his grip, pulling her completely into his arms. "I'm not some bookworm who only knows how to study. Many miscellaneous records and strange tales have it that some people are different from birth, and some people have some extraordinary encounters after experiencing some changes."
Yu Ruo, don't be afraid. No matter what kind of extraordinary adventures you have, it doesn't matter whether you tell me or not. Nothing can affect my love for you.
A reassuring embrace and a sincere confession soothed her worries and negativity.
She relaxed her body and slowly told him about her past and present lives.
After listening, Su Yunting exclaimed, "No wonder my girl is so different from others; it turns out you come from a world of great harmony."
Although Qiu Yuruo had dreamed of returning to the modern world every day, she didn't have such a strong bias against modern society.
She quickly shook her head and denied it: "No, no, it's still a long way from Datong."
Su Yunting: "If equality for all is written into the law, the elderly and infirm will not have to worry about being destitute in their old age, and those who lose their parents in childhood will have food and clothing. Isn't this a world of great harmony?"
Qiu Yuruo: "...The education we received was indeed like this, and compared to the era we live in now, it is indeed more progressive."
Su Yunting: "The progress is more than just a little. Just the fact that girls can study and do things just like boys is a huge step forward compared to now."
Qiu Yuruo hadn't reminisced about her past life for a long time, but today, when it was brought up again, she couldn't help but feel nostalgic once more.
Those ordinary days and nights of the past now seem beautiful in retrospect, and even the endless test papers from my senior year of high school are shrouded in a soft glow in my memory.
When living in modern society, we always accumulate countless complaints about our families, schools, and even the society we haven't yet entered.
However, when you travel to ancient society, even if you don't mention that you only see meat a few times a year when you are in the Qiu family, even now, although the conditions for food and clothing have improved, the inconveniences in life compared to modern society are countless!
She didn't speak, and he felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. He loosened his grip a little, stepped in front of her, looked down at her, and said, "With me here, I won't let you be lonely anymore."
His words pulled Qiu Yuruo back to reality from her reverie.
She saw a hint of unease in his eyes.
She hugged his waist, giving him a sense of security through her actions. "The past is the past. From now on, let's stay together and make the most of our time. Neither of us will feel lonely."
The embrace from his lover dispelled Su Yunting's unease. "Okay, we have each other's company, so we won't feel lonely anymore."
The two hugged for a long time before holding hands and going to the backyard to look around again.
The original owner used two of the four main rooms in the backyard as living rooms and the other two as bedrooms.
When we move in, Su Yunting and I will each use two rooms as bedrooms.
Su Yunting did not object to his wife's arrangement.
In his previous life, he lived a life of purity and abstinence, but in this life, he has almost lost control of himself time and time again. Not to mention that he is still in mourning, in his wife's previous life, she was considered an adult at the age of eighteen.
In her previous life, she received more than ten years of systematic education, but in her daughter-in-law's mind, she still prefers that eighteen years old is considered an adult.
Seeing that he did not object, Qiu Yuruo's joy was immediately reflected on her face.
No matter how many sweet words he said, nothing moved me more than the respect he showed through his actions.
Each person has two rooms in the main hall, with Su Yunting in the east and Qiu Yuruo in the west. There are three west wing rooms, one for each of the two younger sisters, and the other room is set up as a guest room.
Yun Che naturally moved into one of the east wing rooms. The other two rooms were for the cook and the maids, and the kitchen.
With the rooms assigned, the next step is to go look at the furniture.
The two of them can make the final decision about buying the house, but Qiu Yuruo thinks it's better for each of them to choose their own furniture.
...
Throughout the following summer, the people of Sujiazhuang noticed that Su Yunting and Qiu Yuruo, the young couple, were frequently going to the county. Sometimes it was just the two of them, sometimes they brought their apprentices, and sometimes they brought their younger siblings.
Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that Su Yunting had already bought a house in the county, and the money for the house was even subsidized by the county magistrate. His whole family was about to move to the county!
The news caused an uproar throughout Sujiazhuang.
Being able to buy a house in the county was already a big topic of conversation, but what everyone was even more interested in was that the money Su Yunting used to buy the house was actually given by the county magistrate.
Su Yunting was favored by the county magistrate, which is why he was given money to buy a house!
Even the slowest person now understands that Su Yunting is destined for great things.
Suddenly, the number of people coming to my house increased dramatically.
Whenever villagers come to her home, Qiu Yuruo will warmly welcome them and tell them the location of her house in the county, inviting them to visit her home when they go to the county.
After dinner, Qiu Yuru called her younger siblings back and asked her two apprentices to stay a little longer, as she had something to say to them.
Qiu Yu had already told Su Yunting what she wanted to say to the children during the day, and Su Yunting hadn't left since Qiu Yu wanted to educate them.
The whole family, including the two apprentices, sat down. They knew that their sister-in-law, their "master," had something to say, so they didn't joke around like before and sat quietly waiting for her to speak.
Looking at her increasingly radiant second sister, her lively youngest sister, and the three boys who were already taller than her, Qiu Yuruo felt a great sense of accomplishment in witnessing their growth.
You can be physically healthy, but you can't let your mindset slip.
Qiu Yuruo first said to the children, "The furniture we ordered has been made. It will be dried in the carpentry shop for a while before it can be brought into our home."
The children were excited when they heard this. They had seen the prosperity of the county town when they went to choose furniture, and they knew that they would be able to move to the county town to live in the future. In the days since they returned to the village, they have been looking forward to the furniture arriving at their home as soon as possible, so that they can move to the county town to live.
Looking at their expectant little faces, Qiu Yuruo continued, "Moving to the county is just the first step for our family to leave Sujiazhuang. In the future, we may move to the prefecture or even the capital."
Moving to the county seat was something we never dared to dream of before, but our sister-in-law's "master" said that we might even move to the prefectural capital or even the capital! The children were so excited that they could hardly contain their excitement.
Qiu Yu gave them a moment to be excited before speaking again, her tone becoming serious: "Before we move out of Sujiazhuang, I hope that no matter what heights you reach in the future, you will always remember to be humble and grateful to those who have helped us."
Don't look down on those who were once your peers just because your status has changed.
After hearing this, the children all stood up, their expressions becoming serious, and said to Qiu Yuruo, "We understand, Sister-in-law, 'Master'."
Qiu Yuruo had never been a teacher or raised children before, and she worried that if she only told them this, they would say they understood now, but if the environment changed in the future, it would be unknown whether they could maintain their original intentions.
Qiu Yuruo: "At this time last year, it was the most difficult time for our family. I set up a food stall at the entrance of the village. I was the only girl who had just come of age, with a child. Have you ever thought about why the two of us who were the most vulnerable to being bullied were able to stay at the entrance of the village so peacefully?"
The children exchanged glances, and then Yun Che said, "Because we set up our stall at the entrance of our own village, we have the support of the villagers, so others don't dare to bully us easily."
Qiu Yuruo nodded and continued, "Last year, we were weak and only managed to earn money to treat your eldest brother thanks to the village. Our family was able to move to the county because your eldest brother recovered, and we will have the opportunity to move to the prefecture or even the capital in the future."
I don't expect you to repay a small kindness tenfold, but in the future, whenever the villagers or those who have helped you come to us for help, as long as it doesn't affect your own well-being, you should try your best to lend a hand.
Yun Che and his two siblings went through the most difficult days for their family. Although before his sister-in-law married into the village, apart from a few other families, no one else in the village had helped them much, after his sister-in-law married into the village, they did receive protection from the village.
In Ping An's heart, after her grandmother passed away, the most important person in the world to her is her master. Now, her master feels that the villagers have helped her in the past and she should remember their kindness.
Since it was what Master wanted, Ping An kept it in mind.
The second apprentice, Su Chao, was one of the few children who hadn't suffered much hardship. However, his parents were kind and righteous, and he had a good upbringing. He genuinely agreed with Qiu Yuruo's words.
For whatever reason, the children all solemnly replied once again, "We understand."
Seeing that they seemed to have truly remembered this time, Qiu Yuruo felt relieved. Then she looked at Su Yunting, asking him with her eyes if he would say a few words as well.
Unexpectedly, Su Yunting only said one sentence to the children: "Remember your promise today."
The children said, "We've got it!"
Su Yunting: "Since you've remembered everything, go back and rest."
Qiu Yuruo: ...
After the children had all left, she asked him, "Why didn't you say anything?"
Su Yunting looked at her and smiled: "You've done a very good job educating them. What I want to say isn't suitable for them to hear."
Qiu Yuruo: ?
Su Yunting stood up, pulled her into his arms, and said to her in a low voice, "I just want to tell you that my love is the best girl in the world."
