Chapter 799

As soon as Mrs. Wu left, Mrs. Gu pulled her face and said to Qingshu, "You go and quit this job immediately."

Qingshu didn't say anything.

Mrs. Gu was so angry: "Are you still stubborn? Do you know what the consequences will be if you continue like this?"

"If you don't quit this job, you will never be able to marry someone like those female officials in your life."

Some female officials in the palace also got married, but very few of them lived well. As for those women who became officials, none of them married.

An An hurriedly said, "Grandma, my future brother-in-law said she would support her sister, and told her not to worry about the rumors outside."

Mrs. Gu said, "That's why Jingen is considerate to her. The more you are, the more you should cherish it."

Qingshu still didn't say anything.

Mrs. Gu was anxious: "You mean you don't want to quit? Qingshu, I will not interfere with you in other matters, but you must listen to me in this matter."

Qingshu asked, "Grandma, you asked me to quit this job, what if I quit this job?"

"If you like doing business, do business. If you don't like it, embroider your dowry at home."

"Then what?"

Mrs. Gu said, "What's the matter? When you get married and have children, you won't have time to think about these messy things."

"Then I live in this life just to get married and have children and raise children?"

Mrs. Gu was stunned: "What else do you want?"

Qingshu said: "I don't know what will happen, but I don't want to live as you said."

After decades of life, if she came to this world just to have children and raise children, what's the point of living for a lifetime?

"Then how do you want to live? Even if you are an official, you can only be a small official of the seventh or eighth rank. Do you know what price you will pay for this small official position? You may not be able to marry in this life and will be alone for the rest of your life."

Qingshu said, "Even if this is the case, I will give it a try. Even if it is true as grandma, I will never regret it."

Mrs. Gu was both angry and annoyed: "Do you want to piss me to death?"

"Grandma, I started studying and practicing martial arts at the age of three, not to marry and have children. Grandma, I don't want to spend my whole life around the back house like everyone else."

Mrs. Gu said with a calm face: "You are determined to be this official after you have eaten the weight."

Qingshu shook his head and said, "No. I asked Jingen before, and Jingen said that he would support me no matter what I do. If he objected one day, I would consider quitting this job."

She didn't want to fight against Mrs. Gu, and head-on confrontation was not a good solution. Fu Jingen was more eloquent than her and would definitely be able to convince Mrs. Gu very well.

Mrs. Gu felt relieved: "What you said is true?"

Qingshu nodded and said, "Of course it's true. As long as Jingen thinks I'm not good at doing this errand, I will quit."

It is impossible to go home and wait for marriage and then take care of your husband and children. At most, you can go back to Wenhua Hall to work as a job.

"You have to keep your word."

Qingshu smiled and said, "Grandma, when did I coax you!"

Mrs. Gu was relieved. She felt that no man was willing to show up on his own wife, and Fu Jingen was no exception.

After Qingshu and An An served Mrs. Gu, the sisters went back to the study.

An An first told Qingshu about Gu Xian: "Mom also wrote a confession, sister, please take a look."

Qingshu didn't answer: "No need to see, you can keep it!"

"Sister, I think my mother writes very sincerely. Sister, I think she really repented this time."

Qingshu chuckled and said, "She almost fell off the cliff and lost her life. Now she repented after a few words. Do you think it's possible?"

"She has been here for more than 30 years, and it is impossible for her to change that."

This is also the reason why she is unwilling to go back to Pingzhou. She knew that she would get angry when she went back, so why did she go back? Not only did she not go back now, but she would not go back in the future.

An An actually knew that Gu Xian might not have sincerely repented, but she still had extravagant hopes in her heart.

Qingshu was unwilling to continue the topic and said, "Then have you returned to Taifeng County?"

"I'm back. Sister, you don't know that my second uncle has changed a lot! I've seen him a few times, and what I said to Hua Mama and the others are completely different from the same person."

She told Gu Heping about all his performances, and after that, she said, "Sister, my second uncle can change it, and I have hope of it."

"Although my second uncle was confused back then, he valued love. For Yuan Shanniang, he could not afford to have a big house. Later, he was abandoned by his biological parents and betrayed by Yuan Shanniang. The reason why he did not collapse was because Fugui and Baozhu needed his care." Qingshu said: "If there were no Fugui and Baozhu, he would not be able to survive that hurdle."

"But no matter what, he got through it."

Qingshu nodded and said, "He has survived it. But if it were our mother, she wouldn't be able to withstand it. When she encounters such a thing, she either blames the world and she cries her face in tears or is over."

An An couldn't refute: "Sister, he took care of his grandfather's grave very well, and the grave was surrounded by pine and cypress."

"He is atonement. But that's fine, so grandma doesn't have to worry about her grandfather's grave being left unattended."

An An nodded and said to Qingshu again: "Sister, Sister Zhu'er said you want to open a female private school in Taohua Village. Is this true?"

Qingshu nodded: "Last time my grandmother passed away, I thought about this again when I went back to Taohua Village to attend the funeral. But I was worried that the clan leader and the clan elders would not agree, so I didn't say it. The time is ripe in the future, and I will ask the third uncle to help with this matter at that time."

An An smiled and said, "Sister, I have given my third uncle money and asked him to do this."

With a whisper, Qingshu asked, "Will the clan leader and the clan elders object?"

"I promised to help the village to build roads without repairing stones and roads are covered with blue bricks. If it goes out on rainy days, I won't worry about getting dirty your clothes, shoes and socks." An An said with a smile: "I told the third uncle that if the clan leader and the clan elder do not agree to run a private school, I will not build it anymore, so they did not object."

"Well, An An, you did this very well."

After being praised by Qingshu like this, An An felt as sweet as honey: "Sister, I have promised us to pay all the expenses in the private school. But if our Lin girl had not come to study, she would have to give the teacher a lecture."

Qingshu nodded and said, "You have thought it through very carefully. After going out, we An'an has grown up."

An An said happily: "If it were my sister, it would definitely be better."

"If it were me, I could only do this."

An An smiled and said, "Sister, if your brother-in-law doesn't agree, you really want to quit this job?"

Qingshu shook his head and said, "No, Jingen respects my decision. He will not ask me to quit his errand."

"Brother-in-law is so nice."
