Xia Jingrong had spent several days with Yu Rujia, and considering what she had done for the Xia family, he had developed a good impression of her. Hearing Gao Guojing's words, he assumed that Gao Guojing was still holding a grudge against Yu Rujia for bullying him in the past.
Xia Jingrong defended himself, saying, "Rujia is a girl who came to our Xia family all alone. She felt insecure, so she thought of taking more things from us brothers to sell. She only felt secure when she had money."
“She is a good person at heart and never intended to do anything to us brothers. When something happened at home, she was busy taking care of everything, and for that she suffered a lot of injustice and a bad reputation.”
“Now that we’re still supporting Duofu and the others, we’re always busy. Jingguo can’t keep up with those trivial things she did in the past.”
The original owner's personality was hard to describe. Relying on the power of the second wife, Han Meifeng, he acted arrogantly and domineeringly in the Xia family.
Those born in the Jing generation are not good at keeping things. If there is anything good, the original owner will find a way to snatch it, even their clothes.
The pure-hearted Xia family's Jing generation was trampled underfoot by the original owner's adopted daughter for eight years. If the Xia family hadn't encountered trouble and replaced them with Yu Rujia, an old monster who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, the Jing generation would still have been trampled underfoot by the original owner.
Xia Taishun slapped Gao Guojing on the back: "I saw the money Rujia exchanged. She used it all to pull strings. Even your precious pocket watch, if I hadn't stopped her, she would have exchanged it for money."
"No matter how much she took from you before, after what happened, you are not allowed to hold a grudge against her. In fact, you should give her even more in the future, understand?"
When the Xia family got into trouble, Xia Taishun went back to handle it and knew best what Yu Rujia had done for the Xia family. Yu Rujia's importance in Xia Taishun's heart had surpassed that of his own son, Gao Guojing.
Gao Guojing, a mere fourteen-year-old, could hardly withstand the force of Xia Taishun's powerful slap, a former elite soldier, and immediately grimaced in pain.
Gao Guojing said aggrievedly, "Dad, your son isn't one of those heartless people. I've already let go of those things. I said those things to remind my brother that Sister Rujia isn't someone who listens to advice, so he should be careful and not be deceived by her."
Gao Shujing said slowly and deliberately, "Only a few of you will be fooled by her. I have never been fooled by her."
That's true. The original owner of this body also had designs on Gao Shujing at the beginning, but unfortunately Gao Shujing was a genuine gentleman with a gentle and refined appearance, but inside he was already as black as ink.
Initially, when the original owner of this body snatched things from Gao Shujing, he didn't take it to heart. However, after seeing this, the original owner treated Gao Shujing the same as other members of the Jing generation and repeatedly snatched things from him.
Seeing that the original owner was becoming increasingly distorted, Gao Shujing, after discovering Han Meifeng's mindless protection of the original owner, secretly took action against her in order to make her think twice and not bring trouble to the Xia family.
Taking advantage of a moment when no one is looking, she steals the things that she has taken, the value of which is at least several times that of the things she stole from Gao Shujing. After taking the things, Gao Shujing will also tell the original owner of the body in private, provoking her to make a scene.
When the original owner of this body brought in an adult to help her, Gao Shujing denied taking her things and was able to provide a bunch of evidence to prove that what she said was true.
Because of this, no one believed her when she complained. They just thought she wanted more things, so they gave them to her. However, the value of the things given to her later was far less than the value of what she lost.
The original owner of this body knew how to treat people differently; otherwise, she wouldn't have put on airs in front of the elders. Before Gao Shujing started fighting with her, the original owner of this body was always seen as a pitiful little thing by the elders.
As a result, after several confrontations with Gao Shujing, she not only failed to get back what she had lost, but also exposed her true colors in front of the elders, causing them to treat her less kindly than before. She ended up losing more than she gained, and after that, she dared not provoke Gao Shujing again.
Gao Guojing thought for a moment and then said, "No, Sister Rujia only deceives the elders. She doesn't care about us peers at all. She just steals from us directly."
Gao Xiujuan pinched him: "How long ago was that? You still remember it now? I don't recall ever teaching you to be petty with people. Who taught you that?"
Gao Guojing felt wronged. Sure enough, no matter when he faced Yu Rujia, he was the one who got hurt. Even if she wasn't there, it didn't affect the outcome.
Gao Shujing still had some brotherly affection, and seeing his aggrieved younger brother, he brought the topic back: "After I get there, I will try to contact Rujia as soon as possible and stop her from going there."
The group discussed in detail how to support Yu Rujia before they parted ways.
Back in the room, Gao Guojing still wouldn't give up and kept nagging Gao Shujing, "Brother, if you can't manage things after you get there, write back. I'll apply to go to the countryside after I graduate from junior high."
Gao Shujing carefully collected the books on the table; they were all technical books. He planned to take them to the countryside, thinking they might come in handy someday.
Gao Shujing: "Study hard. Haven't you always wanted to join the army? The higher your education level, the greater your chances of advancement. At the very least, you need to graduate from high school."
Gao Shujing felt that with his many skills, he would definitely be able to find a way of life that suited him, and he was not worried about the hardships of going to the countryside.
The only thing that worried him was Yu Rujia. Since she revealed her true colors, she no longer attacked him, but she also treated him like a stranger, not even sparing him a glance when they met.
He used to think it didn't matter, since there wouldn't be many opportunities to meet in the future, so it was fine to remain strangers. He would even greet her normally when they met, maintaining his composure.
But things are different now. After going to the countryside, he will live with Yu Rujia to take care of the children and see her every day. I wonder if she can let go of the past grudges and live together peacefully.
Gao Guojing said with a bitter face, "Given our family's situation, can I still join the army?"
Gao Shujing: "By the time you graduate from high school, these things will have been over for several years and will have mostly faded away. They won't affect you anymore. You should focus on your studies now."
Having collected a lot of herbs in the past few days, Yu Rujia spent the next few days at home processing the herbs. She had completed the first half of the process and was just waiting to make them into pills and put them into bottles, but Captain Huang had not yet delivered the bottles.
The medicinal herbs cannot be left outside for too long, otherwise they will lose their medicinal effect. Just as Yu Rujia was about to ask Captain Huang when he would go to town to buy bottles, he came over with a bunch of bottles.
Team Leader Huang: "You, Yu, do you think these bottles can be used to store medicine?"
He brought over porcelain bottles, the kind with the corks removed, about the size of a palm, numbering twenty or thirty. They were quite exquisite in appearance, and I wondered where he found them.
