Kuiwu and Fuqiu arrived in the yard. There was no one else there at the moment. Kuiwu looked at Fuqiu, who had her head lowered, and said, "Fuqiu, I'm sorry. My brother was just a fool. He said anything he wanted. Don't mind it. I've already taught him a lesson. I promise he won't do it again next time."
Fuqiu pursed her lips and said, "I don't blame him, but you can't call me that next time, lest others misunderstand you."
Upon hearing this, Kui Wu quickly said, "Until you agree to it, this will never happen again. However, I really want you to be my wife. This is not a misunderstanding."
Fuqiu's face suddenly turned red. Although Kuiwu had said many heartwarming words before, he had never expressed it as bluntly as he did today. For a moment, she was at a loss.
Kui Wu looked at Fuqiu seriously and said, "It's okay. I will wait for you until you agree to it."
Fuqiu bit her lower lip and finally said, "Brother Kuiwu, you are very good, but Fuqiu's heart cannot accommodate anyone else for the time being. I know you are very good to me, but I can't be with you just because you are good to me. This is not fair to you at all."
Kui Wu was stunned when he heard this, and stammered, "Fu... Fuqiu, what do you mean by you can't accommodate anyone else for the time being? Do you have someone in your heart? Who is he?"
Fuqiu smiled bitterly and said, "No, Brother Kuiwu, you misunderstood. It's just that I'm not ready yet. You can't waste your time on me."
Kui Wu excitedly grabbed Fuqiu's arm and said, "No, I can wait for the day when you can accommodate me in your heart. If you believe in me, can you give me a chance to treat you well?"
Fuqiu was startled by Kuiwu's actions. Her arm was tightly clamped by Kuiwu's big palm. Although he didn't use much strength, the warm breath from his palm still made Fuqiu blush and her heart beat faster.
"Brother Kuiwu, please let go first..." Fuqiu said as she struggled with her arms.
Kui Wu reacted immediately and quickly withdrew his hand, saying, "I'm sorry, Fuqiu, I was a little excited just now. I thought you already had someone you liked. Do you hate me?"
Fuqiu said, "Brother Kuiwu, how could I possibly hate you? You've always taken good care of me, but I just feel a little guilty..."
Kui Wu waved his hand and said, "Fuqiu, you don't have to feel any burden. I treat you well out of my own free will. You don't have to feel burdened by this."
"But…"
Fuqiu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Kuiwu...
"No buts! Even if you don't agree to me in the future, I still don't regret what I did before." Kui Wu said seriously.
Fuqiu's heart ached, and she moved her lips and said, "Am I really that good? Do I deserve you to be so nice to me?"
Kui Wu nodded seriously and said, "In my mind, you are the best. You are brave and kind. You are good in every way."
Fuqiu blushed at Kuiwu's praise and said, "Thank you."
Kui Wu touched the back of his head and laughed foolishly.
Fuqiu burst out laughing, leaving Kuiwu stunned...
"Then Brother Kuiwu, I'll be leaving first." Fuqiu felt a little embarrassed when she was looked at. She said hello and ran away.
Kui Wu was still grinning foolishly at Fuqiu's back as she ran away, muttering, "How cute!"
"Brother, do you think I'm cute?"
"Hahaha…"
The second brother's voice came from behind Kui Wu, followed by the laughter of the third brother and others.
"Hehe, this is not very decent of you, is it? Why did you choose to eavesdrop on my conversations?" Kui Wu said with a stern face.
"Brother, I didn't intentionally listen to you talking with Miss Fuqiu. We came out after seeing Miss Fuqiu walking away. We didn't hear what you said before, but I heard what you just said." The second brother said.
Kuiwu felt a little embarrassed. He had always maintained the status of an older brother in front of the others, treating them as his own brothers. Today, being seen like this by them, he didn't know if it would affect his reputation as the eldest brother...
…
The next day, not long after the Xu family had breakfast, the village chief came to the Xu family...
"Why is the village chief here? Come and sit down." The old man greeted.
"Brother, I won't beat around the bush. It's like this. There are a group of half-grown boys in the village. Some of them don't have much talent for studying, so they want to go out and find a job. I was thinking that your family is in the hot pot business? Can Boss Qian take these boys in the village with him so that he can have someone he can trust?" said the village chief.
The old man frowned when he heard this and said, "Are you saying these children don't want to study anymore? They want to go out and find work?"
The village chief nodded and said, "Yes, but they know all the words they need to know. They just don't have the aptitude for scientific research. It would be beneficial for them to go out and gain some experience."
The old man asked, "Are their parents comfortable letting them go out?"
"Everyone has agreed on it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to say this. But don't worry, everyone has agreed on it. You can do whatever you want with the children. If they don't want to do anything, you can send them back. Their parents won't have any complaints." said the village chief.
The old man waved his hand and said, "That's not the case. I've watched all the children in the village grow up, and I know what they're like. I'm just afraid that if this child is handed over to me, if something happens to him, I won't be able to bear the responsibility."
The village chief said, "I've considered this as well. I've discussed it with their parents, and everyone has agreed that even if something unexpected happens, they won't blame you, brother. Look, everyone's written a letter of guarantee, signed and stamped with their fingerprints. They've also said that even if you don't agree, they understand. Just ignore what I said!"
As the village chief spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and showed it to the old man.
The old man looked at it, thought for a moment and said, "Village Chief, I will call the scholar over and see what he says. After all, he has been busy with the business of this hot pot restaurant."
The village chief nodded.
When Qian Shusheng heard that it was the old man looking for him, he rushed over immediately. Seeing that the village chief was also there, he greeted him with a smile.
"Scholar, the village chief is here for something. Please listen first." After the old man finished speaking, he told Qian Shusheng the village chief's words in general.
After hearing this, Qian Shusheng laughed and said, "Old man, that's great! This hot pot restaurant is in the process of expanding its staff. If these guys can be put to use, that would be great. Besides, they are all literate, and the hot pot restaurant is in need of such people. They are all our own people, so we can use them with confidence."
The villager smiled and said, "Scholar, do you agree?"
Qian Shusheng smiled and said, "Of course I agreed to this kind offer of a pillow for someone who is sleepy."
