Lu Zihan regretted it.
She regretted it and in a fit of rage, she actually eloped.
It's because their lives were too smooth before, they never experienced the hardships of life, and they blindly pursued free love.
She looked at the man in front of her and sighed softly.
It’s not because this person is not good to her, but because he has tried his best and their lives are still very difficult.
Hearing her slight sigh, Guan Xiaochun, who had just raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, looked over with concern, "Zi Han, what's wrong?"
Lu Zihan quickly smiled and said, "Nothing, I was just thinking, the New Year is in half a month, when should we go to town to buy New Year's goods."
Guan Xiaochun sorted the pile of chopped wood in front of him, tied the best ones together with bamboo strips, and threw the inferior, unformed ones into the kitchen.
While doing this, he replied to Lu Zihan, "I'll go hunt some game in the next couple of days, and then take it along with the firewood to town to buy. During the New Year, I'll definitely buy you something you want to eat."
When I was in Puning City, I complained every day that the food was not tasty. I would often take a bite of a plate of fruit or a dish and then send it to the servants. Now, I have to wait until the New Year to eat something delicious.
"It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the baggage. And then, I don't know how to do anything and can't help."
Lu Zihan couldn't help but blame himself again. As he spoke, he went to help Guan Xiaochun pick up wood.
Originally, her brother had prepared a lot of silver for her, but on the way to Wudang Mountain, they passed through a town and ate and strolled on the street for a while. During this time, Lu Zihan accidentally showed off her wealth and was targeted. When Guan Xiaochun went to the bathroom, the bag was taken away.
By the time they discovered that the thing was missing, the person had already run away and it was impossible to find it.
Fortunately, Guan Xiaochun had saved some money on him, and after pawning Lu Zihan's clothes and jewelry, the two of them were able to hire someone to build two wooden houses at the foot of Wudang Mountain.
But how much money could there be? Lu Zihan didn't know how to save along the way. Although Guan Xiaochun reminded her once or twice, she was afraid that she would feel wronged, so she could only find ways to make as much money as possible.
At the beginning, Lu Zihan thought this kind of life was very interesting and everything was new. But when all her money was used up and Guan Xiaochun had to go out to earn money every day and could not accompany her all the time, and had to do the cooking, washing, cleaning and other chores at home by herself, she began to feel that this life was too difficult!
"Put it down, be careful not to prick your hand. I'm not to blame for what happened before. You were just too naive and didn't know the evil in people's hearts."
Guan Xiaochun took the wood from her hand and blew into her palm with his mouth.
"Your hands aren't suited to this. If you want to do something, go embroider a couple of handkerchiefs. I'll take them to town to sell later. But that kind of work hurts your eyes, so take a break after embroidering. Don't rush."
"After the New Year, I still have to go to town to find something to do. I've already talked to my uncle-in-law from Wudang Mountain about it. I can use my status as a Wudang Mountain outer sect disciple to apply for a security guard position. Although the monthly salary for security guards in this town isn't as high as in Puning City, if we save a little, it should be enough for the two of us to live on."
Speaking of embroidered handkerchiefs, Lu Zihan suddenly remembered that the young lady of the Shen family came to her and said that they wanted to set up a teaching workshop together to teach women from poor families handicrafts. At that time, she was dismissive and thought that they were just idle and had nothing to do. Now she realized that their idea was really rare.
Alas, it’s no use saying all this now.
Everything is my own fault.
If I had taken good care of the bag and not lost it, my life would not have been so miserable; if I had not run away from home, I would not have to suffer this hardship.
However, if she didn't elope with Guan Xiaochun, she would marry in Lin County and marry someone she didn't know and didn't like.
Will I definitely be happier than I am now?
Lu Zihan wasn't sure either.
At night, she lay in Guan Xiaochun's arms and said in a faint voice, "Brother Chun, I'm sorry!"
Guan Xiaochun was silent for a while before saying, "Do you regret it?"
At first, he never thought that he would be favored by the county magistrate's daughter. Even though Lu Zihan appeared in front of him frequently and said some caring words of comfort, he only dared to think that it was because of his junior sister Xiaoyu that Miss Lu and her brother took care of him.
But since when, my colleagues around me have been looking at me with strange eyes, saying that I am so close to Miss Lu, is it possible that I am a toad wanting to eat swan meat?
He realized that he seemed to be really interested in this favored girl. He had not paid attention to the news about his junior sister Xiaoyu for a long time.
He was very self-aware and knew that he was not worthy of the other party, so he took the initiative to deliberately avoid Lu Zihan.
Seven days later, Lu Zihan was waiting for him on his way back from work. She looked distraught, tears in her eyes, and said pitifully, "Am I really worse than Guan Xiaoyu?"
Guan Xiaochun flatly denied it, "No! I'm not worthy of you!"
Lu Zihan grabbed his sleeve and looked at him aggrievedly, "You are very good, hardworking and ambitious, and have your own pursuits. In comparison, I was just born a little better than you."
"Believe me, I know my parents are arranging a marriage for me. They won't agree to our marriage, but I have a plan. We can leave Puning City and go somewhere else to live a simple life just for the two of us..."
A woman has said so much and is willing to sacrifice to such an extent for their relationship. As a grown man, why is he still hesitating?
All he lost was a job as a constable, but she gave up her status as a county magistrate's daughter and her comfortable life.
