Chapter 187: Do You Want To Send A Girl As A Concubine?
Qiao Chu didn't answer, just looked at her quietly.
Dongfang Shuyuan finally couldn't say anything and lowered her head.
She wiped the corners of her eyes with some sadness: "I know you won't agree, and I refused, but she just didn't listen, and very enthusiastically insisted on asking me to bring all these things back, and forced them on me, saying they were for me.
You replenish yourself..."
Qiao Chu still didn't speak, waiting for Dongfang Shuyuan to finish.
Dongfang Shuyuan had actually finished speaking. She looked at Qiao Chu helplessly, not knowing what she should say.
However, Qiao Chu didn't say a word, and she didn't seem angry or sad. She just looked at Dongfang Shuyuan quietly.
Dongfang Shuyuan panicked: "Chu Chu, I know I was wrong, what do you think I should do?"
Qiao Chu sighed: "This is your matter. She didn't tell me, so I just pretend I don't know. You can do whatever you want to do about your matter."
Dongfang Shuyuan: "..."
If I knew what to do, could I still be in such trouble?
Isn’t this just because I don’t know what to do?
"You brought the things back, and I won't ask for them. Whether you keep them for use or send them back is your business." Qiao Chu said, with a strange smile on his lips.
"As for that Ma Xiaoyu, I just pretend that I don't know about it. If you want to bring it back, just keep it in your room. I won't want it here. If she takes the initiative to tell me, I will refuse."
After Qiao Chu finished speaking, he sighed again at Dongfang Shuyuan, patted Dongfang Shuyuan on the shoulder, and turned back to his room without saying a word.
Dongfang Shuyuan looked at the pile of things in front of her and was dumbfounded.
Qiao Chu was not stupid: The reason why Mrs. Ma didn't dare to tell herself was because she knew that she was a decisive person. As long as she told herself and refused, there would be no room for improvement.
But if she spoke through Dongfang Shuyuan, it would be different.
Dongfang Shuyuan is not confident, so she doesn't know how to refuse other people's requests. She is always worried that she will offend others if she refuses too simply.
When Dongfang Shuyuan took the things back and was in a dilemma, a normal person might accept it out of face because of the close relationship between the two families.
But is Qiao Chu the kind of person who would accept a concubine just because of her face?
nonexistent.
Therefore, Qiao Chu only threw the problem back to Dongfang Shuyuan.
If you don’t know how to refuse, you have to bear the consequences yourself.
And Qiao Chu would never pay for the cowardly concessions of others.
That night, Qiao Chu slept soundly, but Dongfang Shuyuan spent the night making sesame seeds.
The next morning, Qiao Chu got up in high spirits, but Dongfang Shuyuan walked out of the room with dark circles under her eyes.
The two faced each other and their eyes met. Dongfang Shuyuan lowered her head in embarrassment and said with some guilt: "Chu Chu..."
Qiao Chu looked at Dongfang Shuyuan like this and just wanted to sigh: "Yuanyuan, there are some things that no matter what others say, it's useless. You can only do it yourself. If you don't know how to refuse, you have to bear the responsibility inside and outside.
The consequences for people…”
"Then what should I do? How can I get the best of both worlds?" Dongfang Shuyuan thought about it all night and couldn't think of any way to get the best of both worlds.
Qiao Chu smiled: "There are only three types of things in this world, my things, other people's things, and God's things. I make the decision on my things, others decide on other people's things, and I can only accept my fate on God's things...
If you distinguish clearly, you will understand."
"In this world, there are more choices and trade-offs. Where can we get the best of both worlds?"
After Qiao Chu finished speaking, he went out coolly: "I'm going out to have breakfast, you don't have to do anything for me."
The main reason is that Dongfang Shuyuan didn't sleep all night, and she is not so inhumane and insists on eating the food cooked by Dongfang Shuyuan.
Qiao Chu ate the pancakes soaked in mutton soup warmly. Halfway through the meal, she saw Dongfang Shuyuan holding a lot of things and lowering her head in the direction of Ma's house.
Qiao Chu lowered his head and hid the smile in his eyes: he finally took that step.
However, if Mrs. Ma could take this step, how could she give up so easily?!
After all, Dongfang Shuyuan still lacks knowledge and does not understand the complexity of human nature.
Sure enough, when Qiao Chu finished his bowl of mutton soup, he saw Dongfang Shuyuan walking back feebly holding the pile of things...
Qiao Chu walked around the market. After Shi Shiran returned home, he saw Dongfang Shuyuan sitting in the yard waiting for him.
As soon as she saw Qiao Chu coming back, Dongfang Shuyuan immediately greeted her: "Chu Chu!"
"Huh?" Qiao Chu pretended not to know anything, "What's wrong?"
"I...I went to return those things, but Mrs. Ma said, it's okay if you don't want them, just let me keep them for myself. But I'm not pregnant, so what am I doing with these things..."
Dongfang Shuyuan said, her eyebrows almost knotted, with a look of embarrassment on her face.
After Dongfang Shuyuan finished speaking, Qiao Chu asked with a smile: "Then what can I do for you?"
"..." Dongfang Shuyuan choked: Yes, I have been nagging a lot. What do you want Qiao Chu to do for you?
She thought about it blankly and couldn't figure out what she wanted to do.
"You...can you help me return these things?" After Dongfang Shuyuan finished speaking, she felt it was inappropriate.
From the beginning to the end of this matter, Mrs. Ma never told Qiao Chu face to face that she asked Qiao Chu to retreat. How could Qiao Chu retreat easily?
For a moment, Dongfang Shuyuan rubbed the corners of her clothes to pieces and bit her lower lip, not knowing what to do.
Qiao Chu smiled and sighed: "Then if Mrs. Ma says that if Chen Qingshan is unwilling to take a concubine, then let your Aqiu take her as a concubine, will you be willing?"
"Ah?" Dongfang Shuyuan was stunned for a moment and looked up at Qiao Chu blankly.
When she met Qiao Chu's eyes, she came back to her senses: "I...I..."
"You don't have to answer me. Just ask your own heart. If you accept it, do you really accept it?"
"Can you accept it with joy?"
"Is it still the same as before, choosing to wrong yourself and help others?"
"If you don't accept it, do you dare to refuse Mrs. Ma's request?"
"After rejecting, are you worried that she will be angry? Are you worried that you will offend her? Are you worried that she will ignore you from now on?"
"Since you were a child, how many things have you done to please others by forcing yourself to do so?"
"Are you ready to continue doing this in the future?"
One sentence after another, every sentence was like a hammer hitting Dongfang Shuyuan's heart, causing her brain and heart to throb with pain...
It's like Hong Zhong Da Lu, and it's like a wake-up call.
Dongfang Shuyuan's tears rolled down as she thought of all the things she had experienced since she was a child to please others and wrong her...
Qiao Chu didn't say any more, patted Dongfang Shuyuan on the shoulder, and went back to the house.
Lying on the bed and turning over, Qiao Chu expressed that she was very melancholy.
what to do?
Following this attitude, I will also have to eat out for lunch...
When will this Chun Niang of that year and Dongfang Shuyuan of today be able to figure out her own feelings?!
If she continues to struggle like this, she may need to hire a cook to come back...
However, inviting a cook back means that she must be absolutely loyal.
Otherwise, I would not dare to eat so many delicious fruits and vegetables...
