Chapter 367 - 356: Qu Xin
Before turning ten, Qu Xin lived with her grandparents in Baisha Village as her parents worked abroad. She would only see her parents during the New Year celebrations, but each visit would last only a few days.
After she turned ten, various accidents frequently occurred in Baisha Village. To ensure the safety of the villagers, the government provided a sum of money for the villagers to move out.
Qu Xin then relocated to the city with her grandparents, joining her successful parents and the twin brother and sister they had by their side.
However, having never lived with them for long, and being used to the rural lifestyle, Qu Xin found it hard to adapt to her parents’ lifestyle. Her parents were very dissatisfied with some of her behaviours and often admonished her, even comparing her to her brother and sister.
Thankfully, her grandparents supported her at that time.
However, as they aged, her grandfather passed away when she turned eighteen. A few months after she enrolled in university at twenty, her grandmother passed away as well.
Without their mediation, the relationship between Qu Xin and her parents, as well as her siblings, became more strained. Fortunately, she was in university and moved out to live in the dormitory. Other than returning home during the festivals, she seldom went back and arguments often broke out whenever she did.
For her university major, she stubbornly chose traditional Chinese medicine, a course she liked, with the support of her grandmother. This was because her grandfather was a village barefoot doctor whom she had been learning from since she was young. She had an inexplicable fondness for the medicinal herbs and continued to learn from her grandfather even after they moved to the city.
During her university internship, she worked at the city’s traditional Chinese medicine hospital. Due to her good performance, she naturally stayed on to work there.
Three months ago, her parents asked her to get engaged to her sister Qu Wan’s betrothed, a man from a family who had business dealings with the Qu family and had helped them to expand their business in the past.
