Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 6
Chapter 6 A Strange Person
Her voice was as beautiful as flowing water.
Su Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and her gaze shifted to the youth’s eyes. In the blink of an eye, there were only a few words left in her heart: her face was like a crown jade.
At most, she was two or three years older than her, so she could definitely be considered a handsome youth.
Her burning eyes made the youth’s heart jitter.
“Ugly woman! Why are you staring at me?”
What? She’s ugly?
Su Wanwan came back to her senses and glared at the youth, “You’re ugly! You’re so ugly that you can’t even describe my beauty. You’re just talking nonsense!”
Su Wanwan suddenly noticed that she was very close to the youth. The youth looked down at her, his eyes as bright and cold as the moon. She raised her foot and pressed closer.
“How dare you!”
The youth took a step back. Su Wanwan grabbed the youth’s collar. The youth was unable to move. Su Wanwan put her hand on his face again. Seeing the youth’s red ears, she let go and smiled confidently. “I’m not ugly. Do you see clearly?”
The youth glared at Su Wanwan. His gaze once again fell on the ginseng and said coldly, “This ginseng is mine. If you want to find it, please find another one.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the youth crouched down to pull out the ginseng.
Can you pull it out like this? Su Wanwan rolled her eyes and broke off a branch to carefully pull away the soil beside the ginseng.
“You really want to rob me?” The youth frowned and clenched his palm. Su Wanwan raised her eyebrows and looked at him, “What? Are you trying to hit me with this posture? Do you think you can beat me? Let me tell you, I can beat a hundred vegetable chickens like you!”
If her previous ability was still there, she would definitely not let such a person be arrogant in front of her for a second!
What is vegetable chicken? It’s definitely not a good word! He frowned and grabbed the leaves of the ginseng. He forcefully pulled them apart from the ground.
It actually broke! This would be cheap! It affected the price of her ginseng!
“Get lost!”
“How could a woman be so rude!” This was the first time someone had spoken to him like this!
“Don’t you know that being a shrew can make life more comfortable?”
At the very least, what happened yesterday made Su Wanwan feel that this principle was correct.
The youth paused. He suddenly remembered what the Headmaster had said. He wondered what the woman had experienced to have such thoughts. He glanced at Su Wanwan’s tattered clothes and his gaze was filled with compassion.
“Forget it, I’ll give you the ginseng.”
Su Wanwan was not happy, what did she mean by let go? However, after thinking about it, since they had all seen each other at the same time, she could also back down if he gave in. “How about half for each person?”
The youth tilted his head slightly and thought. He really needed money to buy ink, ink, paper, and inkstone. He nodded and said, “Alright.”
After saying that, she crouched down to dig for ginseng. Su Wanwan hurriedly grabbed him. The burning sensation on her arm surprisingly did not annoy him, and even gave him some … greed?
“I’ll do it myself! Don’t break the ginseng!”
Su Wanwan quickly dug out the ginseng. Seeing that her roots were intact, she was very satisfied with her work. However, she was somewhat conflicted.
If he wanted to give half of it to this person, then the price of selling ginseng would be pitifully low, and it was not easy to talk to Zhen Xiuxiu about it. As he struggled, he saw the footsteps of the youth and his cold voice, “You sell the money and I’ll give you half of it.”
“Where did you find you?”
“The cottage next to the willow tree at the end of the village.”
“What’s your name?”
“Surnamed Qi.”
The voice was ethereal, and the youth’s figure could no longer be seen.
Su Wanwan scratched her head and thought for a moment, but she did not know the name of the youth from her memory.
“How strange. Who wants to ask your name? You only have one surname. Why are you pretending to be cold?” Su Wanwan said angrily. She took the ginseng and went home.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw Zhen Xiuxiu looking for her in panic and shouting, alarming Granny Jiang to come out together to look for her. Su Wanwan’s heart warmed up. She quickly ran to hug Zhen Xiuxiu and said, “Mother! I’m here!”
“Where did you go! I couldn’t find you! I thought you …”
“I just woke up. Hurry up and go back to sleep.” Su Wanwan said.
Granny Jiang frowned and said seriously, “I heard a tiger howl on this mountain. You have to be careful. It’s better not to go out in the middle of the night.”
“Alright, thank you, Granny Jiang.” Su Wanwan pulled Zhen Xiuxiu into the room, quickly hid the ginseng and lay down. Suddenly, she found that Zhen Xiuxiu’s eyes were wide open, somewhat blurry and lonely.
Guessing what Zhen Xiuxiu was thinking, Su Wanwan said, “Mother, without father, we can live a better life! There is no grandfather bullying us, and there is no big uncle and second uncle messing with us.”
Zhen Xiuxiu closed her eyes and a tear rolled down from the corner of her eyes. “I know that since I came out, I won’t go back! I pawned that silver hairpin tomorrow, so I’ll buy some rice to eat. I’ll embroider a few more embroidery samples to sell, and we’ll definitely be able to eat it.”
If those things were exchanged for silver, it would definitely not be enough! Su Wanwan knew, but she also nodded her head, “Mother, don’t worry, our good days have just begun! Don’t worry, I will let you live like Madam Shangguan in the future. I even want you to throw money at others when you are angry! It’s best to drown all those people in silver and make them speechless!”
“Pfft! Then I won’t bear to part with it.” Zhen Xiuxiu smiled. The two of them talked for a while. Su Wanwan asked Zhen Xiuxiu to take her tomorrow, but Zhen Xiuxiu was worried. “We have to take an ox cart from town. We … don’t even have a penny.”
Su Wanwan smiled and said, “It’s fine. I owe it to you tomorrow. I can pay it back!”
“That’s the only way.” Zhen Xiuxiu nodded. The two of them had fallen asleep at some unknown time.
The sky lit up slightly, and the two of them were about to ride in the oxcart. Just as they opened the door, they saw Su Daqiang leaning against the door and anxiously pulling Zhen Xiuxiu.
Zhen Xiuxiu’s eyes revealed a trace of anticipation, but she heard Su Daqiang say, “Motherf*cker, I haven’t eaten all day … Hurry up and cook!”
These words splashed down like a basin of cold water. Zhen Xiuxiu was so angry that she began to tremble. She pushed Su Daqiang away forcefully, “Go and see if there is a grain of rice in the house? Even rats aren’t willing to step into our three bedrooms! What kind of food are you cooking? What’s there to eat?”
Finally, Zhen Xiuxiu was so angry that tears began to flow out of her eyes. She felt that yesterday’s decision was the right one. She declared again, “I was wrong. It’s not’our family ‘, but’yours’. I will find someone to write the divorce certificate to you when I come back from the town.”
Su Daqiang was dumbfounded. He didn’t know what had happened on his face. “Child, how could you say that! How could I have let you down? You have to leave the house? Quickly take the child back to cook. As for mother, you just have to admit your mistake. Mother will definitely forgive you.”
“Heh, a clever woman cannot cook without rice. Mother already said that there is no rice! You still want Mother to go back and cook rice. Do you have no ears or no eyes?” Su Wanwan said angrily, and a strong palm wind blew over.
“Pa!”
