Chapter 604: Episode 322 What’s your story?
Zhou Yunyun’s troubles had been resolved, and everyone at Daoxiang Garden breathed a huge sigh of relief.
In the main hall of the tavern, Chun Xi held the girl’s wrist and scolded her mercilessly, berating her for only keeping her troubles to herself and not revealing a thing to anyone around her.
"Isn’t there anyone you trust in Daoxiang Garden?" she pointed angrily at Zhou Yunyun’s forehead and said fiercely, "I don’t mean to look down on you, but with your limited abilities, if your father decided to sell you, you wouldn’t even be able to utter the word ’no’! Among all of us, is it only your teacher who can solve problems for you? Are we all just freeloading? What would you have done if she hadn’t brought little Walnut to Daoxiang Garden for a visit that day?"
Once she started scolding, she seemed to go on endlessly.
Zhou Yunyun hung her head, obediently allowing Chun Xi to lecture her as much as she wanted, the area under her eyes turning red, not daring to speak a word. It wasn’t until Chun Xi finally ran out of breath and turned away to drink some tea that Zhou Yunyun timidly raised her head and said with a quivering lip, "Thank you, everyone. Without your help, I definitely would have been sold by my father. I don’t know what to say, that is..."
She approached each person one by one, thanked them with a bow, and finally turned to Wen Huaren.
"Brother Wen, my father is, to speak bluntly, nothing but a vagabond. You openly confronted him yesterday, and if he seeks revenge on you in the future..."
Wen Huaren has always had the temperament of a standard scholar, kindhearted but somewhat soft in handling situations. Yesterday at the threshing ground, however, was a rare display of his firmness.
Perhaps feeling the need to maintain a certain demeanor in front of the young lady, he looked quite composed at that moment, and with a slight smile he said, "It’s nothing to worry about, I’m not afraid of him. In any case, your father should think twice before bothering you again. As long as you’re safe, that’s all that matters."
