Chapter 188 You are admirable
"Why are you crying? Who upset you? This is ridiculous!"
The louder the man's voice, the more ferocious his scarred face appeared, and Qiaoxiu cried even louder.
"Sister, sister, please take me home! Someone is bullying me here! He's so tall, like a big bear!"
His fist is as big as my head; one punch from him could kill me!
The man scratched his head vigorously, thinking how incredibly unlucky he was to have such a sick girl!
"Mother, where did she come from? Let her go!"
The old lady was also confused. This child suddenly appeared. She walked to the left, and the child walked to the left. She walked to the right, and the child walked to the right.
Seeing that he looked pitiful like a quail hiding its head, she couldn't bring herself to scold him, so she asked him gently.
Unexpectedly, the son suddenly returned, scaring the woman to tears.
"Child, don't be afraid, this is my son, he's not a bad person."
"Waaah—why doesn't your son look like you at all!" Qiaoxiu cried even louder.
The mother and son both turned pale.
What kind of talk is that? This person is definitely not thinking straight.
You could see that Qiaoxiu's neck shrank even shorter, as if she knew she deserved a beating, and the mother and son dared not say anything harsh anymore.
"Mother, I'm going in first!" The man ignored her and his eyes were already drifting into the courtyard.
"Waaah... You're not allowed to leave!" Qiaoxiu spread her slender arms and legs and blocked the man's way.
"You..."
"Wow, you scared me! You have to pay me back!"
"..."
The old lady frowned: "Where did you come from, you little brat? Are you trying to extort money from us? If you keep causing trouble, we'll send you to the authorities, you believe me...?" Don't believe me?
Before she could finish speaking, Qiaoxiu vanished like a gust of wind!
This...this...
Why isn't it in 46?
What an idiot!
The man's eyes narrowed, as if he had thought of something, and he quickly went into the yard.
The moment I saw people through the window, I relaxed.
They didn't even notice that the big black dog was sneezing, and its eyes were a little vacant.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing had already boarded the carriage with Qiaoxiu.
Qiaoxiu's heart was beating very fast, as if she were both frightened and excited; she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Sis, where did you come from? I thought you didn't hear me."
“You climbed over the wall, and you were crying so loudly, I’m not deaf.”
Qiaoxiu smiled shyly, her eyes red but bright.
"At first I didn't dare to cry, but then I cried louder and louder."
Sister Qingqing is right, her loud voice startles others.
"That's amazing."
"whee."
"Come on, I'll take you to Madam Wan's place and bring that little girl home."
Before it got dark, Lu Qingqing drove quickly to the manor where Madam Wan lived.
When I saw the little girl again, she had changed so much.
The bulge on her stomach is gone, she's gained weight, and her skin has changed from yellow to white. Her eyebrows and eyes look just like her mother's!
"Madam Wan, you've taken such good care of her!"
Madam Wan has also changed a lot; her eyes are now bright, she walks with a confident stride, and exudes a dashing air.
It was completely different from the languid and wealthy feeling I had when I first met her.
This makes her seem even more vibrant.
A little boy was with her, calling her "Mom," his expression full of affection for Madam Wan.
Lu Qingqing then realized that the child was the mistress's son.
It was only because I went to that manor in the mountains to take refuge last time that I saw the servants there abusing this child. The young master, who was once well raised, was now skin and bones, like a pitiful kitten.
Looking at the innocent and ignorant child, Madam Wan suddenly felt that everyone was so despicable.
When adults make mistakes, they make children bear the consequences.
And she suddenly felt relieved.
Wanjishan, that mistress, had faded from her mind.
The clouds and smoke drift away with the wind, leaving neither love nor hatred.
From now on, she will only act according to her own will.
So she brought the child with her again.
Lu Qingqing was truly impressed.
She wondered: If I were in that situation, could I be so insightful?
Before I could come up with a solution, I heard Madam Wan say:
"Qingqing, I really like this little girl too. I feel like I have a special connection with her. Can I raise her as well?"
ah?
this……
Lu Qingqing still didn't understand what was going on with that family!
"What's wrong? Wasn't this child abandoned?"
Lu Qingqing could only tell Madam Wan about the current situation.
"That's easy. You can leave the child with me for now, and we'll make plans once things are clearer."
If that family has its own difficulties, I cannot take away what they love.
Madam Wan looked at the little girl with affection in her eyes, yet also with a sense of reluctance.
“These days, I’ve watched my child transform day by day, and I feel like my life is starting anew, little by little.”
“When I was little, my dad always lamented that I was a girl. Sometimes I would argue with him, so what if I was a girl? Can't girls go into business or sell cloth with my dad?”
"Later, I saw that the girls I knew started going out less and learning to cook and do needlework. I gradually realized that they were really different."
I was afraid of being different from others, so I started doing what girls are supposed to do: get married, have children, tend flowers and enjoy tea, and stay at home.
It wasn't until I reached this age that I met you.
A girl who is different from others.
Doing things that are supposedly only for men.
I don't think it's strange at all; on the contrary, it's quite impressive. Walking down the street, you can immediately tell she's different from ordinary girls.
Madam Wan looked at Qiaoxiu and said, "Look, you are like a spring that has brought all the other withered grass back to life."
Just like your name suggests: a vast, verdant wilderness.
Madam Wan's evaluation of Lu Qingqing was so high that Lu Qingqing didn't know how to be modest.
She also knew that Madam Wan was probably not trying to praise her, but rather to say what she was going to say next.
"Qingqing, go to the disaster-stricken villages to help with disaster relief."
You also taught the villagers how to intercrop to reduce losses.
I heard that you used to teach others how to deliver babies for free.
I admire you very much.
I want to be like you.
"I never expected that the breach in the canal would be related to our Wan family. Yu Ting has been locking himself in his room since he came back, and he must be in great pain."
I've thought it through; this responsibility rests with every family!
"I want to adopt some orphans who have lost their parents, teach them skills, and raise them to adulthood. Can you give me some advice? Is this feasible?"
"Madam Wan, you also earn my respect!" Lu Qingqing said sincerely.
She is a woman living in the present, a pampered woman who, after being betrayed by her husband, leaves her comfortable home and begins to make a series of decisive decisions.
By now, she was truly amazed and impressed.
"I support you! Of course I support you! But you should act within your means. Right now, the most important thing is the shop you've taken over."
Only when you become strong can you hold up an umbrella for those children.
To provide a safe and secure environment for more children!
"I understand, I understand, I will." Madam Wan nodded excitedly.
Her idea was recognized, which is very meaningful.
She will strive for this for the rest of her life.
“Yes, let’s go together!” Lu Qingqing nodded firmly to her.
"I also believe that more people will join us in the future!"
Together……
Forge a path!
...
After talking for a while, it was already dark, and Lu Qingqing had to hurry back.
The little girl will stay with Madam Wan for now.
Madam Wan sent someone to see her off, but Lu Qingqing waved her hand and only accepted a lantern.
However, when she left, a carriage belonging to the Wan family followed her at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
When they were halfway there, they heard the sound of horses' hooves ahead.
"Qingqing—"
A shout pierced the night.
A gentle breeze seemed to blow, like jade striking ice.
