Xia Dingfeng said: "Sister-in-law, Ruyu is very family-minded. Ruyu admires Qianqian very much, and now our whole family is optimistic about Qianqian."
Qin said, "Okay, let Qianqian go to the county town."
"I'm not going." Xia Qianqian put down her bowl and chopsticks and said seriously, "No matter where I go in the future, I will take my mother and my brothers and sisters with me."
Xia Dingfeng said, "My niece, although your aunt married in the county town, she is just an ordinary family and can't take care of your family. It's great that she can take you there."
"So I won't go." Xia Qianqian said.
Qin was anxious: "Qianqian, just follow me. Once you get to the county town, you'll have hope for your life."
"No." Xia Qianqian sternly refused and said to Xia Dingfeng, "Third Uncle, thank you for your kindness. Please help me take care of Xia Yu at home. When I have a promising future, I will not forget your kindness."
Seeing her so determined, Xia Dingfeng felt regretful and said to Qin: "It will take some time for Ruyu to go back, sister-in-law, please persuade Qianqian. I will take Yuer back first."
"Okay. Thank you, Third Brother." Qin sent Xia Dingfeng and Xia Yu out, and then went back to persuade Xia Qianqian, "Qianqian, just listen to me this time and go to the county town with your aunt!"
Xia Qianqian washed the dishes and cleaned the house: "Mom, you don't have to say anything. I will never abandon you and your sister."
"Qianqian, we have a house and money at home, Yunyun and I can get by, you don't have to worry..."
"Mom, what's so strange about going to the county town? In the future, I will take you to the provincial capital and the capital!"
Qin Shi only dared to listen to Xia Qianqian's bold words but didn't dare to believe them. For her, the county town was already very far away, not to mention the state capital and the capital? This was something she would never dare to dream of in her life.

Pingning Town
Gu Changsheng stood under the eaves holding a hand warmer, watching the servants sweep the snow in the yard. The third young master of the Gu family was afraid of the cold, so as soon as there was snow in the yard, someone would come to sweep it, and there was always a charcoal basin in the house.
Even so, Gu Changsheng still caught a cold.
"Ahem..." He stood under the eaves and coughed softly, his brows furrowed. This body was more fragile than he had imagined.
"Master, please come in quickly!" Qing Tong half persuaded and half pushed Gu Changsheng into the house. There was a bowl of medicine on the table, which looked dark and unpalatable.
This medicine is what Gu Changsheng must drink every day.
"Master, take your medicine."
Qing Tong handed the medicine over, and Gu Changsheng drank it readily. Then he quickly put a piece of candied fruit into his mouth and said, "Tell me about Yangliu Village."
"What?" Qing Tong said with a smile, "Miss Xia now has a house to live in, charcoal to burn, rice, flour and meat, nothing is missing. Master, you can just rest assured and recuperate at home!"
"Tell me about it." Gu Changsheng glared at Qing Tong. He felt uneasy if he didn't hear from her for a day. Good or bad, he wanted to know her current situation.
Qing Tong said helplessly: "The informant reported that Miss Xia beat her aunt today. Xia Lao San wants Miss Xia to go to the county town to find a good marriage."
"Bold Xia Dingfeng!" Gu Changsheng suddenly got angry and slammed his fist on the table, causing the cups and bowls to clank.
Qing Tong was also startled: "Master, don't be angry, Miss Xia didn't agree."
Gu Changsheng sneered: "She will definitely not agree."
Qing Tong: “…” Then why are you still angry after you knew that
"Go to the kitchen and see if the braised pork is ready. If it is, quietly put it at her doorstep at night."
