Chapter 61: No one cares about the help I’m rushing to help!
The old woman was a little embarrassed. After all, it was not decent to ask for help from others, and this person was her daughter-in-law, who she regarded as a stepping stone. But for Runer's future, she had to swallow her pride, because her daughter-in-law could not push it anymore and she needed to come forward in person.
In the past, he wouldn't have to worry about these things at all.
"Qingwan, mother has mentioned to you that Run'er needs to hire a teacher. You see, A Yue went to ask for one a few days ago, but was rejected. Run'er and Hu'er are both old enough to go to school. The education of a child in his childhood is the most important. You see, the matter of hiring a teacher..."
"Didn't Ah Yue go? The teacher doesn't seem to have the intention to come to the Sima family to teach, and I can't force him."
"That's him. If you had gone, the result would have been different!"
Li Qingwan naturally knew that the old woman had no solution, so she came to her in person. She didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, no one cared about her help, and no one thanked her.
"This……"
"Qingwan, didn't you say you would get this done? Now that the workshop issue has been resolved, you can also take some time to invite the teacher back so as not to delay Run'er's studies!"
"You mean the weavers' salaries have been settled?"
"It's settled. Mother has borrowed two thousand taels of silver from your aunt. You can return it to her later!"
These words almost made Li Qingwan laugh. Why should the old woman pay back the money she borrowed?
However, she did not pursue the matter. She didn't care about the Sima family's affairs anyway, so she let the old woman worry about it. However, the matter of inviting a teacher...
"Qingwan, look what good things I bought for you!"
After Sima Yue outside coaxed Xiuzhu, he came to the door with the rouge and powder he bought. When he saw his mother was there, he hurried forward and bowed, "Mom, you are here too."
"Ayue, what you bought is..."
"Mother, I bought this for Qingwan. It's been quite a while since my son came back, but I haven't bought anything for her yet. Qingwan, look, these are all top-quality rouge and powder. You will be the most beautiful woman in the world after you put them on!"
Sima Yue began to flatter, while Li Qingwan winked at Zi'er, who immediately took the gift and said in surprise, "Sir, this..."
"what happened?"
Zi'er was a little embarrassed, "Sir, you bought all the peach blossom scented ones. Have you forgotten that Madam is allergic to peach blossom scent?"
Sima Yue: “…”
As she spoke, Li Qingwan kept sneezing, "Aqin..."
"Qingwan, I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
"It's okay, the smell is too strong so I have to leave first..."
"Hey, Qingwan, Qing..."
"Mother!"
The group of people were calling out to Li Qingwan from behind, but she took Hu'er and left without even looking back. When the old woman saw her leave due to allergy, she became even more furious!
"Ayue, what the hell are you doing? How could you forget that she is allergic to the smell of peach blossoms?"
Sima Yue not only failed to flatter the girl, but was also scolded. He felt very aggrieved. If he had known earlier, he would have given it all to Xiuzhu. It was a waste of so much money.
"Mom, how do I know she's allergic to peach blossoms? You know I'm not interested in her!"
"Shut up! You are so bold to bring this up. What should we do now? I asked Qingwan to invite Master Zhuang to come to Sima Mansion to teach Run'er, but she didn't give a definite answer. I have lost my face, but she still doesn't agree!"
"This Li Qingwan's temper is getting worse and worse!"
"Ayue, you are a man, how come you can't even handle a woman?"
Sima Yue was scolded by his mother, so he was naturally in a bad mood. "Mom, let me handle this matter. I will go find her. I am her husband, she dare not disagree!"
Dusk is falling and the moon is high in the sky.
When Li Qingwan brought Hu'er out, they came to the backyard pond to look at the goldfish. Hu'er saw that she suddenly stopped sneezing, "Eldest sister, are you feeling better?"
"Be good, Tiger. Sister is fine!"
"Sister, my brother-in-law is not a good person."
what?
Hu'er's words made Li Qingwan frown. Seeing that there was no one around, she squatted down and pinched Hu'er's little face, "Hu'er, where did you get this from?"
"I, I saw this afternoon..."
"What did you see?"
Hu Er was a little embarrassed, his face flushed, and he didn't know how to describe it, "I seemed to see my brother-in-law hugging the little nun in your courtyard..."
what?
When Zi'er heard this, she couldn't stand it anymore, "Madam, look, they stick together every day while you're away, and you don't do anything about it!"
"Yes, Madam, we have to teach that bitch a lesson. Let's see if she dares to seduce you again."
"Okay, they're just a pair of scumbags and bitches. What's there to be angry about?"
Ah Qing: "..."
"Madam, the old lady wants you to go and invite Master Zhuang, will you go?"
"Of course I won't go. Run'er is a bastard. Why should Madam hire a teacher for a bastard?"
Zi'er looked unhappy, but Li Qingwan smiled and said, "No, I have to go. I don't need to care about that bastard, but I want to train my Tiger to become the top scholar."
After she finished speaking, she patted Hu'er's little head and said, "Remember, don't let anyone know about our conversation. In the future in Sima Mansion, the only people you can trust are the three of us. Do you understand?"
Hu'er was a child after all, and he nodded as if he understood what was said. Because he was living under someone else's roof, he showed more maturity than his peers, and this was what made Li Qingwan feel the most distressed.
His trembling look made her uncomfortable.
"Eldest sister, I remember it!"
"In the future, when you study with Run'er, if he bullies you, you will deal with him like this."
Li Qingwan whispered something in Hu'er's ear, and Hu'er suddenly laughed when he heard it, "Eldest sister, is this true?"
"Qingwan!"
Sima Yue was chasing after them not far away, so Li Qingwan immediately asked Zi'er to take Hu'er away. After he came, Li Qingwan deliberately walked towards the yard, and Sima Yue naturally had to follow her.
"Qingwan, don't go. Your husband has something to tell you!"
Li Qingwan ignored him and walked straight into the yard. In the yard, Xiuzhu was mopping the floor. When she saw that her husband had become so servile in order to please that woman Li Qingwan, she became even more jealous.
When will she be able to act without considering this woman's mood?
"Qingwan, don't be angry. I will pay attention next time and buy it for you tomorrow, okay?"
"Ayue, just speak up!"
Sima Yue: “…”
Sima Yue was a little embarrassed, but he still smiled, looking shameless. He wanted to reach out to hold Li Qingwan's hand, but Li Qingwan deliberately held up a cup of tea, not giving him any chance to touch, which made him a little angry, but in order to ask her to come forward to invite the teacher, he could only smile, "Qingwan, you heard what mother said, you see, Run'er should also find a teacher, then Master Zhuang..."
"Since you and your son both want me to give it a try, then I have no choice but to go. But let me be frank. If Master Zhuang doesn't want to come, you can't blame me for this, right?"
