Shi Chunfen looked at her without saying anything. It didn't matter to her whether Yu Atu had given up on Chu Ling. There was nothing wrong with liking someone, but if you hurt others because of your own love, that would be unrepentance.
"Don't worry." Shi Chunfen said calmly: "She just came to Liuzhou to recuperate. I have no intention of taking her in yet."
"Not yet?" Yu Atu quickly caught the key point in her words, "Does that mean it will be possible in the future?"
Shi Chunquin pursed her lips and said nothing.
Yu Atu sighed and held back what he wanted to say.
Shi Chunfen glanced at her and said funnyly: "You can say whatever you want, no need to hide it."
Yu Atu gritted his teeth and said bluntly: "I just don't understand why grandma still gives her a chance to get close to uncle even though she knows she has bad intentions?"
The dignified eldest mistress of the Chu family obviously had countless excuses to drive away that woman, but Shi Chunfen refused to do so, and even gave her a chance to break into the house. What's the point of sending two girls to guard her now?
Shichun Equinox's eyes darkened, and he felt a rare sense of loss.
In this matter, she was indeed careless. If she hadn't left Jiang Ya with something to talk about, Jiang Ya would not have had the chance to live in the Chu family.
She tugged at the corners of her lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Maybe it's because I'm really stupid, so I'm always so passive."
Seeing her admitting her incompetence so frankly, Yu Atu didn't know what to say for a moment.
Shi Chunfen looked at her and said calmly: "Don't worry, although I was defeated by Jiang Ya before, I have no intention of letting her get what she wants this time when I return to Liuzhou."
No matter whether Chu Ling is attracted to Jiang Ya or not, she will not allow a woman who has framed her to come in. Between her and Jiang Ya, it is destined that only one of them can stay.
Yu Atu looked at the stern look in her eyes and shuddered inexplicably. I wonder if it was her hallucination. She always felt that when Shi Chunquin came back from Huating this time, her whole person had changed a lot. Compared with the previous state of being indifferent to the world, she felt that she had changed a lot.
, there was obviously a bit more edge in her eyes, and what frightened her even more was that this edge seemed familiar, as if it was the same as in Chu Ling's eyes.
Could it be that after she left Huating, something big happened in the county government's mansion?
Shi Chunfen didn't want to continue to argue with her about this matter. Taking advantage of her silence, he quickly changed the subject, "By the way, there are a few things I want to ask you about my aunt."
"Oh?" Yu Atu came back to her senses and immediately smiled at her, "Grandma, please."
"Has Auntie ever worked as an accountant before?"
Yu Atu was stunned, he didn't expect that she would suddenly ask this, and couldn't help scratching his head, "It seems so... But I just helped the neighbor's shop to settle accounts, and I did it for about half a year. When the shop started to improve, I will do something else.
Hired a bookkeeper."
"Yeah." Shi Chunfen nodded slightly. Although he didn't sound professional, he was one of her own, and there was nothing she couldn't trust.
Seeing her secretive look, Yu Atu suddenly became curious, "What's wrong, grandma, why did you suddenly ask about this?"
Shi Chunfen said frankly: "Your uncle wants me to go out and open a tea house. I plan to ask my aunt to come over and settle the accounts. You know, this is my first time to open a shop. In terms of accounting, I think it is more reliable to hire my own people."
.”
"That's it." Yu Atu looked at her blankly, feeling sour in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ling has gone to this extent for her sake. Once Shi Chunfen has a shop, it means that he has real economic power in his hands, and he no longer has to look at the Chu family's face to behave. How can she not feel envious of this?
She lowered her eyebrows and forced a smile, "Then I really have to thank grandma for my mother."
Even though she was jealous of such blatant support, she had to be grateful for the spring equinox.
Shi Chunfen smiled and said bluntly: "You don't need to thank me, I'm just doing it for myself. I can't trust anyone more with the things on my books than my aunt."
This was the truth, and Yu Atu quickly laughed, "But after such a long time, I don't know if my mother can return to her old career."
"We'll find out in two days after asking." Shi Chunquin smiled and said, "Anyway, I haven't seen my aunt for a long time."
Yu Atu's eyes lit up instantly, "Really? We can go home to see my mother?"
"Why not?" Shi Chunfen said with a smile: "It's not just your home, it's also my natal home. I don't think the eldest mistress of the Chu family would have to seek permission from other people even to go back to her natal home."
Yu Atu became even more happy and couldn't help but shed tears, "That's great, I really miss my mother and two brothers."
After getting the good news, she only cried for a while, and then she couldn't wait to go back to her room to pack her things, saying she wanted to prepare well and see if she could bring anything for home.
It was rare to see her so happy during the Spring Equinox, and her own mood improved a lot. She had been in the Chu family for so long and rarely planned anything for herself. This time she decided to ask her aunt for help, and she really made a lot of determination. On the one hand
She was afraid that the Chu family would say that she helped her parents' family, but on the other hand, she sincerely hoped that she could do something for her aunt while she was still young.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop; the child wants to be nourished but cannot be kissed.
She didn't want to give up the opportunity to see her aunt more just for the sake of other people's eyes.
She only has ten years in her life. In addition to being the eldest mistress of the Chu family, she also wants to live for herself.
Chu Ling stayed with the old lady for a long time, and did not return to the courtyard until after dinner.
Shi Chunfen expected that he would not come back for a meal, so he only left a bowl of iced hawthorn soup for him to eat. It was already summer, and eating too much at night would inevitably make him feel hot. In addition, they had just returned from the road and there was no food available on the way.
It is easy to accumulate food, and hawthorn soup is the best dessert after a meal.
As soon as Chu Ling came back and saw the bright lights in the house, Shichun Equinox was sitting at the table waiting for him, his tired mood was immediately gone.
"Uncle, are you back?" When Shi Chunfen saw him entering the door, his eyes lit up.
Chu Ling curled his lips, took Hongxing's twisted hot handkerchief to wipe his hands, then walked to the table and sat down, his eyes fell on the food box on the table, his smile froze, "I've already eaten at my grandmother's place
.”
Shi Chunfen raised his eyebrows, knowing that he had misunderstood what he meant, so he opened the food box with a smile, "You take a look first before talking."
The lid of the food box was opened, and a blast of cool air hit his face. Shi Chunfen took out the hawthorn soup inside and placed it in front of Chu Ling.
Chu Ling looked at the remaining ice cubes in the food box and realized Shi Vernal Equinox's intentions. He breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to take the spoon, and said with a faint smile: "Hawthorn soup is good for digestion, and iced to relieve the heat. Madam, you are interested."
