Chapter 364 - 212 Farewell_2
Uncle Liang advised, "Grandma is also right—Zhaozhao’s illness has just recovered, and his body is still not robust enough. It wouldn’t be suitable for him to engage with women right away. He needs more time to recuperate... As for the sister-in-law, perhaps she truly did not mean any harm. Harmony within the family brings prosperity to everything..."
The couple went on and on inside the room, and the maidservant dared not enter, let alone risk displeasure for the sake of a village girl. Thus, not a single person went in to report.
Qian Yixiu waited outside the door for over half an hour. The sun was nearly at its zenith, and she saw no one come out to invite her in.
The gatekeeper, always eyeing for advantage, but having received benefits from Qian Yixiu, did not want to let her wait foolishly any longer. He said politely, "Miss Qian, please go back. Perhaps Grandma Liang is busy and has no time to see you today. You can come again another day."
Qian Yixiu looked at the sun overhead, knowing well that while the others lived among the clouds, she dwelt in the mud. Still, she felt both disappointed and distressed.
She looked again at the tall gate and high walls. That family belonged to the gentry, while hers was humble. Friends? Maybe that was just wishful thinking on her part. So, she said, "Let’s go back," and then turned to walk towards the carriage.
Suddenly, Monkey Brother and Benben ran towards the Jiaomen like mad, and the gatekeeper couldn’t stop them.
Laughter rang from within the high walls, followed by Uncle Liang’s voice, surprised and delighted, "You’re here? Where’s the little girl?"
His long legs carried him swiftly, and with Monkey Brother in his arms, he soon reached the Jiaomen. There he saw Qian Yixiu, eyes red and glaring fiercely at him. She ignored him completely and quickly climbed into the carriage.
He was baffled. After putting down Monkey Brother, he climbed into the carriage too and asked, "Young girl, why don’t you even come in when you are at your own home’s door?"
