Xia Qianqian pretended to smile mysteriously: "Aunt, guess?"
Xia Ruyu looked at Xia Qianqian. After not seeing her for two years, this girl seemed to have been reborn. She looked extremely smart. Since she was determined to stay in Yangliu Village to make porcelain, she should be able to find a good marriage if she didn't go to the county town with her. So, she nodded firmly: "You will!"
"Aunt has good taste!" Xia Qianqian clapped her thigh happily, "It's so refreshing to chat with smart people!"
Xia Ruyu knew that she had made the right bet, so she began to interrogate him in a roundabout way: "Your father doesn't know how to make porcelain either, where did you learn this technique?"
"I studied it on my own. Maybe I'm born smart. I got inspiration when I was firing tiles and have written several porcelain recipes." Xia Qianqian went back to the room and took out the porcelain recipes to show Xia Ruyu.
But Xia Ruyu couldn't read and couldn't understand. She said embarrassedly: "I can't read. Your father is the only one in our family who can read a few words."
"It doesn't matter. When I make porcelain in the future, I'll ask someone to send some good ones to your aunt. It will also help your aunt gain face in front of my uncle's relatives." Xia Qianqian said generously.
Xia Ruyu was very pleased with this. She married up from Yangliu Village to the county town. She had been looked down upon by her parents-in-law over the years. Even her sister-in-law and brother-in-law dared to bully her. She had very few opportunities to go home after marriage. If she had a family to support her, how could she have suffered such grievances
She never expected that the one who wanted to win honor and support her in the end was her eldest niece who she had always despised! Regardless of whether it would work out in the future, this was a token of her heart!
Xia Ruyu felt mixed emotions and liked Xia Qianqian to the extreme: "I have heard about your deeds from your grandmother. You have done a great job. If anyone in Yangliu Village bullies you again, go to your second and third uncles. If they dare to say no, send a message to me and I will punish them."
"Okay, thank you for your love, aunt." Xia Qianqian smiled and picked up two more pieces of meat for Xia Ruyu. From now on, you don't have to worry about the old Xia family anymore!
After dinner, Liu Wan'er pestered Xia Qianqian to tell her a story: "Cousin, please tell me a story!"
"Okay, today I'll tell you a story about cat and mouse..." Xia Qianqian began to tell the story vividly. Xia Yu, Liu Wan'er and Xia Yunyun listened attentively. Xia Ruyu helped Qin clean up the house, and she didn't look majestic at all.
They stayed until the afternoon, when Xia Ruyu took Liu Wan'er and Xia Yu away. Liu Wan'er waved reluctantly, "Cousin, I'll come back tomorrow to listen to your story."
"Okay." Xia Qianqian agreed with a smile. She had nothing to do now anyway.
Qin was filled with emotion: "It turns out that women also need to be capable to be respected by others. I have lived half my life in vain, and only today do I understand this truth."
"Of course. When Yunyun grows up, I will also teach her to read and write."
"Qianqian, luckily I still have you. Sometimes I feel like you don't look like my child at all. How could I give birth to such a smart and capable child like you when I am so stupid?"
Xia Qianqian's heart skipped a beat. Did Qin suspect her
"Maybe, your father took pity on us and begged for mercy from some god, which gave you new abilities!" Qin continued.
Xia Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and half-jokingly said, "Mom, you are right. I am now the salvation sent by God."
She saved Qin and the children, but she herself was wronged. She was the young mistress of the Gu family!
