The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 195 - 191: Maybe She Also Had a Bit of Selfishness

Chapter 195: Chapter 191: Maybe She Also Had a Bit of Selfishness

Xie Qin followed Wen Ran all the way to her home.

As soon as they entered, Hongguo threw a set of clean clothes over, "There’s hot water; take a bath, wash your hair, and then sleep on the bed."

Xie Qin glanced at Hongguo, hesitated, and said, "Oh."

Watching her go to take a bath, Hongguo snorted, then quickly washed up, and climbed onto the bed, "Sis, I don’t like her."

"Why?"

"She doesn’t talk nicely to you."

"Hahaha, you little clever thing, you even know what talking ’not nicely’ means?"

"Uh-huh!"

After brushing off Hongguo with a couple of sentences, Wen Ran lay on the bed, feeling drowsy.

Turns out Hongguo didn’t read for long either and snuggled into her arms like a catfish.

Wen Ran opened her eyes, confused, "What’s wrong?"

"Sis," Hongguo hesitated, "I’m not getting married in the future."

Wen Ran chuckled, "Why?"

"Can’t I not get married?"

Seeing Hongguo serious, Wen Ran’s sleepiness vanished, and she thought for a moment, "Whether you get married or not, I will support you.

But didn’t you say before that you wanted your son to take care of me in old age?"

The young girl wasn’t opposed to marriage before; perhaps she got scared by the Gao family’s people today.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Fear of marriage~

"No need," Hongguo lifted her head, earnest, "I’ll work hard to earn money, and I can also take care of you in old age.

I don’t want to get married. If I do, I won’t be able to spend money freely on you."

"Well," Wen Ran understood, "Hongguo, I must tell you that every family has its difficulties.

Also, there’s a saying, ’different strokes for different folks.’

Living life, you still have to look at your own circumstances.

"Marriage means a young man leaving his family, a young woman leaving her family, and the two of them coming together to form a new family.

This new family will also welcome new life. At this time, your role is not just a son or daughter, but also a dad or mom.

You can be filial to your elders, but there should be a limit. Look at Xie Qin, who empties her own home to support her family of origin.

The family of origin is comfortable, but she doesn’t consider her own family. Her children will grow up, and in ten years, they will form their own small families. Each and every thing is about money."

Love without material basis is like a loose pile of sand.

Similarly, without a material foundation, life for children will be particularly tough.

"Don’t misinterpret marriage because of Gao Le and Xie Qin’s situation. You don’t have those kinds of family members, and my pocket is full."

She rubbed Hongguo’s head gently, "Besides, when you grow up and want to be filial, I’ll accept it.

But if you make your family a mess for me, you don’t need your brother-in-law, I’ll handle it myself! I raised you because I took a liking to you; from my heart, I want to be good to you and see you happy.

It’s not an investment in you, hoping to get this or that return many years later."

Maybe, she had a little selfishness herself.

In Hongguo, she saw her past and present life...

She wondered, if she’d had such a sister to lend a hand in the past, would her previous life have been less difficult?

And would her current life be a bit happier?

After all those words, which Hongguo half-understood, she just turned her teary eyes, tears falling.

"Sis," Hongguo, like a little beast, desperately absorbed warmth from Wen Ran, "Can I be your daughter in my next life?"

That way, she could live twenty more years than her sister.

Then she could take care of her sister in her old age.

"Scram," Wen Ran laughed and scolded, "Being your sister in this life, how much more worry do I have to bear, and you want to be my daughter? How?

You little thing, you still want to bite the hand that feeds you?"

"Hehehe," Hongguo wiped her tears on Wen Ran, "Sis, Sister~"

"Stop clinging to me, get off~"

The dim light swayed slightly, and the silhouette of the two sisters playing around was reflected on the window, everything was so warm.

Xie Qin, who had been standing at the door for quite some time, was truly bewildered.

In the end, what is love?

A gust of wind blew, his face turned cold.

He raised his hand in a daze and wiped his face, full of tear stains.

He was crying?

...

The next morning, Hongguo, like a diligent little bee, boiled water and called Wen Ran to get up.

Wen Ran yawned, "Why so early today?"

"It’s not early, sis, hurry up. We have to eat breakfast at Auntie’s, you need to pick pig grass, and I have to go to school."

"Alright, alright," she got up, and there was another person on the bed.

Having almost forgotten about yesterday, Wen Ran was startled by Xie Qin.

"Oh my," Wen Ran’s sleepiness disappeared instantly, "You scared me."

Xie Qin got up, glanced at Wen Ran, "How do I get home?"

Wen Ran: "...Should I carry you home?"

Xie Qin was confused, "Ah? No need for that."

"Since you know no need, why so many words? Get up quickly. Later you go to the Xiao Family, how you get home is not my concern."

If it weren’t for the fact that Gao Le brought back more than enough blue bricks yesterday, she wouldn’t bother with these things.

Sigh~

Sometimes, thinking about it, the straightforward transactions of later generations are good.

No matter what, involving personal relationships makes everything complicated.

Breakfast was somewhat silent.

Gao Le woke up, looking like he aged three years.

After eating, Gao Le drove the tractor and took his wife away.

"Old Five, I..."

Xiao Chenye patted Gao Le’s shoulder, "No need to say more, I understand."

Gao Le gave a bitter smile, "Forget it, I won’t say anything, going home, hope we brothers can gather again someday."

"Okay."

The tractor rumbled away.

Wen Ran suddenly came to life, "Oh, finally they’re gone. Really, Xie Qin’s got no brains."

Mrs. Xiao had something to say about this too, "Exactly, exactly, how could a family that truly loves their daughter ever reach out to ask her for money?

It’s clear they have Xie Qin wrapped around their finger, those Xie Family people are detestable."

"Well, after all, it’s other people’s family affairs, we shouldn’t meddle."

"Mm!"

Time was almost up, everyone went off to do their tasks.

Mr. Xiao carried a hoe to the fields, Mrs. Xiao tidied up at home, and Hongguo happily went to school with her bag slung over her shoulder.

As for Wen Ran...

Today, she had her own personal helper—Xiao Chenye.

The basket is his, and the work, naturally, is his too.

"Three baskets of pig grass," Xiao Chenye laughed, "What if someday I quit being a driver and come back to pick pig grass with you?"

"What?!"

Wen Ran couldn’t believe it, "I only have one lazy trick, and you want to snatch it! You jerk!"

"Hahahahaha, can’t it be that I just want to be with you?"

"Get lost!"
