Xu Tiansheng looked at the gradually darkening sky, sighed, stood up helplessly, and shouted to the door: "Xiao Man, I'll come again tomorrow."
Lin Junman heard Xu Tiansheng's voice outside the door, and her eyes shifted from the book in front of her. She turned to look outside and sighed softly. She had thought he was outside, so she could act calm. Now she realized she had overestimated herself. Even if she didn't see him, he would still affect her.
Seeing that there was still no movement from inside the door, Xu Tiansheng could only shake his head and walk away. It seemed that Xiaoman would not see him today.
Everyone was having dinner when they saw Xu Tiansheng coming back with a listless look on his face, and they looked at each other.
"Brother Xu, have you had dinner?" Lin Su asked. Jin Yue said that her master had gone to repay a woman's debt. Usually, debts owed to women are debts of love. She didn't know to whom Xu Tiansheng owed the debt.
"Not yet," Xu Tiansheng said with a forced smile. On the way back, he'd been trying to think of ways to make Xiaoman forgive him, but after all his thinking, he still had no idea. He came here to hear everyone's opinions. He knew it wasn't a glorious thing to do, but he was completely at his wit's end.
"Master, please sit down. I'll go get you some rice." Su Jinyue stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Looking at Master's expression, she knew that he hadn't had a good start today.
Xu Tiansheng nodded and sat down next to Su Lihe, "Is there any wine?" He really wanted to drink today.
Su Yanxi bent down, picked up a bottle of wine from under the table and handed it to Xu Tiansheng, "Uncle Xu, are you in a bad mood?"
"Yeah!" Xu Tiansheng nodded, took the bottle, waited for Su Jinyue to hand him the glass, poured himself a glass, and drank it in one gulp. He really wanted to get drunk today, because if he was drunk, he wouldn't feel so suffocated.
"What happened?" Su Lihe asked.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Xu Tiansheng coughed awkwardly a few times. "When I was young, I made a mistake and broke a woman's heart. I want to make amends now, but I don't know how." He felt a little embarrassed to say this in front of so many young people. But young people are more experienced in this kind of thing.
"It depends on what Uncle Xu did. If it's just a minor misunderstanding, all it takes is some coaxing and explaining. But if he's a complete traitor, redeeming him or making amends will be difficult. I absolutely won't forgive him," Bai Lina said. Sometimes a woman's heart is big, forgiving everything for the man she loves. Sometimes it's small, holding onto even the smallest details for a long time. Especially when her man is involved with another woman.
Xu Tiansheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "If it's the latter, is there really no way to save it?" Apart from Jin Yue and Yiren, he rarely came into contact with other women, and he didn't understand women's minds.
He and Xue'er hadn't been together for long. He had taken Xue'er away from the capital, but before they could be together, they encountered robbers on the road and were forced to jump into the river. That was how he ended up in Shangxin Village.
"Uncle Xu, who did you abandon after having an affair with?" Qu Yingli looked at Xu Tiansheng in surprise. Xu Tiansheng gave the impression of being honest and reliable, so how could he do something worse than an animal?
Bai Lina, Lin Suwen, and Wang Meizhen all looked at Xu Tiansheng with curiosity. They all wanted to know what exactly Xu Tiansheng had done.
Xu Tiansheng coughed awkwardly a few times and looked at Su Jinyue, "Jinyue, don't you have any solution?" It was really difficult for him to talk about that kind of thing.
Everyone turned their attention to Su Jinyue, and their meaning was very clear.
Su Jinyue looked at Xu Tiansheng inquiringly, and when she saw him nod, she said, "Master was forced by his family to marry a woman, and he ran away from home in a fit of anger. So now he wants to make up for his mistake, but the other party doesn't appreciate his kindness." She said evasively.
Wang Meizhen looked at Xu Tiansheng, her face full of indignation, "Doctor Xu, how could you do such a thing? Do you know how much harm this will do to a woman? People's words are scary, do you understand?" She didn't know what it was like in the city, but in the countryside, if a woman was abandoned by her husband, she would definitely be drowned in the spit of the village gossips.
"Uncle Xu, I really misjudged you." Bai Lina held Xiao Yuer, stood up and walked out of the main room.
"Hmph!" Qu Yingli snorted coldly, then stood up and walked out.
Lin Suwen glared at Xu Tiansheng angrily and said, "What you did was really too much. The other party is right not to forgive you. If it were me, I would definitely make you live a life worse than death." She didn't care whether he was Jin Yue's master or not. She was very angry anyway.
Xu Tiansheng's face flushed crimson. He hadn't expected such a strong reaction from everyone.
Su Jinyue lowered her head and said nothing. Seeing her master being despised by everyone, she felt a little pity for him, but also felt very happy.
"Jinyue." Xu Tiansheng looked at Su Jinyue. If he had known how much everyone would react, he wouldn't have let Jinyue talk about it.
"Master, I can't help you with this matter. I am also a woman, and I cannot forgive such a thing either." Su Jinyue shrugged helplessly, stood up and walked outside.
Xu Tiansheng was stunned for a long time, then he sighed deeply and picked up the wine on the table and started drinking. He knew it was his fault, so wasn't he trying to make amends?
Su Lihe smiled and patted Xu Tiansheng's shoulder. "Once a woman starts to care about something, it's harder to get her forgiveness than to climb to the sky." He understood this very well. It only takes a minute to make a woman angry, but it takes several days to make her happy. In the end, the man always gives in first. So he rarely does such stupid things.
"Uncle Xu, has the other party been waiting for you to come back all these years?" Su Yanxi asked.
Xu Tiansheng took a sip of his wine and nodded. "That's why I feel even more guilty." He had made such a mistake out of youthful impatience. Now he truly regretted it.
"It's not easy for a woman to willingly wait for a man for so many years. Uncle Xu, you must cherish a woman like that," Su Yanyue said. Although he had never met her, he believed she must be a very good woman. He only hoped that Uncle Xu could ask for her forgiveness.
"I know." Xu Tiansheng nodded bitterly. What he hoped most now was that Xiaoman would give him a chance to make amends.
"Uncle Xu, sending flowers is popular now. You can try sending flowers. Maybe the other person will forgive you if he is happy." Su Yanxi suggested.
