Qiu Dayu looked at the table full of delicious food, but had little appetite.
After lunch, he sat alone in the courtyard, seemingly oblivious to the cold, just sitting there quietly.
Qiu Yan knew about Qiu Dayu's meeting with Zhao Yuanyuan back then.
She figured her uncle must be troubled by this, so she went up to ask him:
"Uncle, is something on your mind?"
Qiu Dayu calmed himself down and said, "I ran into Yuanyuan by chance in front of the door. I saw that she was looking gloomy, so I went up to her and said a few words to make her laugh."
Qiu Yan then asked, "What did you tease her about?"
"Yuanyuan said she's getting married..."
Qiu Dayu recounted the entire conversation between the two to Qiu Yan. "I didn't say anything wrong, but she got angry."
After hearing this, Qiu Yan shook her head repeatedly, "What a blockhead." If Zhao Yuanyuan doesn't take the initiative to express her feelings, her uncle probably won't understand.
Qiu Dayu scratched his head. "How am I such a blockhead? Don't you always praise me for being quick-witted?"
He's now incredibly skilled at using the abacus.
Qiu Yan: "What are your feelings for Yuanyuan?" She wanted to get to the bottom of her uncle's stubbornness.
"A sentiment? What sentiment could I possibly have?" Qiu Dayu said listlessly, his voice muffled.
Since you have no feelings for Yuanyuan, keep your distance from her from now on.
"If you like her, then go for it." Qiu Yan genuinely cared about Zhao Yuanyuan.
When it comes to love, if there is no mutual affection, then it is best not to force it.
If two people are of the same mind, then they should break through this barrier.
Should he boldly pursue it? Qiu Dayu fell into deep thought; he had never considered such a thing before.
"But Yuanyuan said she's getting married."
"Uncle, Yuanyuan has always been in love with you, can't you see that?"
If you continue like this, she might marry someone else in a few months.
"Yuanyuan is completely in love with me?" Is that even possible?
Recalling everything that had happened, Qiu Dayu shook his head and ran out of the yard.
He needs to calm down.
However, after running a few steps, he seemed to remember something and turned back again.
Then, he took out the ginseng he had brought back from Old Qiu's house that morning.
"Xiaoyan, can you take a look and tell me if this is ginseng?"
Where did it come from?
"It was taken by the Qiu family."
Qiu Yan was surprised and picked up the 'ginseng' to examine it closely. "It's not ginseng, it's a herb."
"Grassroots? Are you sure?" Qiu Dayu knew it would be like this.
Qiu Yan: "Confirmed."
"Qiu Dayong is a big liar!" It's really unpleasant to feel like you've been played.
"What's going on?" Qiu Yan was full of questions.
“My mother is sick, and my fourth brother asked me for money a few days ago, saying he wanted to pay for her medical treatment.”
Unexpectedly, no sooner had I given him the money than he gave it to Qiu Dayong.
"Fourth Brother is really something, he's become stupid from all that studying." Qiu Dayu became angrier the more he thought about it.
So that's what it was about. Ever since Qiu Dazhi came looking for his second uncle, Qiu Yan had already guessed that Qiu Dazhi would definitely ask his younger uncle for money.
"Qiu Dazhi is stupid, but you think you're smart?"
If your money is stolen, go and get it back.
Your money was all earned through hard work.
Qiu Dayu nodded, "Xiaoyan, you're right."
He still hasn't paid back the money he borrowed from Yuanyuan's family.
Qiu Dayu, filled with anger, hurriedly ran to Old Qiu's house.
...
After Gu Xiaoran had eaten and drunk his fill, Qiu Yan asked him to take a nap, but he refused and instead played with Lightning alone in the alley.
He was having a great time when he saw a tall figure approaching him step by step in the distance. His face changed, and he turned and ran.
This person was none other than Li Zheng.
"Xiao Ran!" Li Zheng called out, trying to stop Gu Xiao Ran, but she only ran faster. "Father, Mother..."
