Chapter 1142: Learned a Lesson (4)
Yang Ruxin frowned slightly, but her expression did not visibly change. She merely watched Guan Tongshi quietly.
"Mother," Guan Qingshu frowned, wanting to stop Guan Tongshi from continuing.
"Did I speak incorrectly?" Guan Tongshi scoffed, "Xinxin, my Qingyue has been looking forward to this since before the new year. And now, you suddenly come here and say it’s not appropriate. Isn’t that terribly unfair?"
"Mother," Guan Qingyue hurriedly interrupted Guan Tongshi, "What are you talking about? What’s unfair? There must be a reason behind Xinxin’s actions, you..."
"What reason? If she says you can’t do it, then you can’t," Guan Tongshi glanced at her daughter, "Only you would be so naive."
Yang Ruxin remained silent from beginning to end. She was thankful that she hadn’t actually let Guan Qingyue work in her shop, as that would surely have made it difficult to send the gods away after inviting them in.
"Xinxin, I want to know why it’s not suitable?" Guan Qingyue still couldn’t help but ask.
"You are an unmarried girl, and the chef in the store is a man. Although there will be other people, after all, it’s not good for an unwed man and woman to be together... it could affect your reputation," Yang Ruxin explained patiently.
"Xinxin, I understand," Guan Qingshu rushed to say, "It’s okay, don’t mind it..."
"How could it be okay?" Guan Qingyue suddenly burst into tears, "Do you know I’m too scared to even step outside now? I’m afraid of running into the Wang Family... I thought I could leave the village, escape from here, but Xinxin, now you’re telling me I can’t. What am I supposed to do?"
Yang Ruxin frowned, "Are you blaming me?"
