The general's wife knows medicine

After the Little New Year, we officially enter the New Year.

On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Tang Peipei went to Yunxiu and met Zeng Xiuyuan.

It had been over a month since the two last met, and when they met again, they both didn't know how to start the conversation.

Tang Peipei thought that since she was the one who made the appointment, it was her turn to speak.

Then he said, "Brother Zeng, we have decided to leave Jinghe Town after the New Year, so we are here to talk to you about cooperation."

Zeng Xiuyuan was listening quietly at first, but when Tang Peipei opened her mouth to say that she wanted to leave, he instantly lost his composure.

He stood up and walked to Tang Peipei, "Are you really going to leave? Why? We can continue to cooperate."

Seeing Zeng Xiuyuan was a little excited, Tang Peipei comforted him, "Brother Zeng, please sit down first, and we will talk it over."

Zeng Xiuyuan also felt that he had lost his composure. He touched his nose embarrassedly and sat back in his seat.

"Brother Zeng, I actually had the idea of ​​leaving a long time ago, but because I didn't have enough money, I postponed it until now." Tang Peipei looked at Zeng Xiuyuan and said seriously: "The reason why I rent a house now is because I thought about leaving from the beginning."

"You actually want to leave so early?" Zeng Xiuyuan felt a little disappointed.

"Well, I didn't leave at the beginning. First, I didn't have money, and second, little Tuanzi was still young. Now little Tuanzi is almost six months old, I think it's time."

Zeng Xiuyuan was silent for a while, then asked, "Where are you going?"

"I haven't decided yet. Let's go to the capital and see what a prosperous place is like. If I think a place is suitable, I will settle down there," said Tang Peipei.

"Then we will..." Zeng Xiuyuan wanted to ask if they could meet again in the future, but felt it was a bit abrupt.

"If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again." Tang Peipei knew what Zeng Xiuyuan had not finished saying, and replied.

"Peipei, can't you just stay?" Zeng Xiuyuan thought about it again and again, but couldn't help but ask what was in his heart.

"Brother Zeng, there's no need for me to stay." Tang Peipei told the truth. She didn't like ambiguity.

Especially since she knew he was about to get married, she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

"Haha." Zeng Xiuyuan laughed at himself. He still overestimated himself.

"Okay, I will settle your shares in Yunxiu with you on time. Just give me the address when you arrive at the new place." At least with the address, I can know that she is doing well.

Tang Peipei shook her head. "No need. I came here today to talk about this."

Tang Peipei took out all the drawings she had drawn during this period and handed them to Zeng Xiuyuan.

"Brother Zeng, let's terminate our previous contract. These are the paintings I drew during this period. I will sell them directly to you. How much do you think is appropriate?"

Zeng Xiuyuan just stared blankly at the drawing in his hand, feeling a little cold in his heart.

It seems that she had thought about it a long time ago. How long did it take to draw so many pictures? She wanted to completely cut off contact with me.

I feel bitter in my heart and can't control my emotions.

Zeng Xiuyuan put down the drawings in his hand, stood up and hugged Tang Peipei who was standing in front of him.

"Do you really have to do this? Are you really so cruel? You're so cruel to leave without giving me any thoughts?"

Tang Peipei didn't expect Zeng Xiuyuan to suddenly do this and was stunned on the spot.

Seeing that Tang Peipei didn't respond for a long time, Zeng Xiuyuan pushed Tang Peipei away a little, still holding Tang Peipei's shoulders with both hands, looking straight at Tang Peipei, as if he would not let go unless Tang Peipei gave an answer today.

Tang Peipei looked at him with a smile on her face, but the words she said were like a basin of cold water, chilling Zeng Xiuyuan to the core.

"Brother Zeng, what's the point of keeping the thought in your mind? Let you be immersed in the pain of not getting what you want forever? Or are you going to divorce Du Yuanyuan after you complete your career and then marry me back?" Tang Peipei's voice was icy cold.

If that was the case, it would be better to never contact him again. This way, he would always be the gentle and elegant Brother Zeng that she knew.

Otherwise, she would only look down on him more and more.

Zeng Xiuyuan's original plan was to divorce Du Yuanyuan and marry Tang Peipei after the matter was accomplished.

But now, listening to Tang Peipei's cold words and looking at her cold eyes, Zeng Xiuyuan slowly let go of Tang Peipei.

"I'm sorry!" He knew that his idea was wrong, but he just wanted to be with her until old age.

Tang Peipei shook her head. "Brother Zeng, you haven't done anything wrong to me. I just want to say that since you have decided to marry Du Yuanyuan, you should treat her well. This is what a responsible man should do. Since we are not destined to be together in this life, let's just forget it."

Zeng Xiuyuan felt a little ashamed. He thought he was a scholar, but he was not even as good as a woman.

"I will not forget it. I will hide it in the deepest part of my heart. It is the proof that I have loved you."

Tang Peipei didn't say much about this, she believed that time would give them the answer.

"Brother Zeng, how much do you think I can give you for these design drawings?" Tang Peipei did not forget the purpose of her trip.

"You provided the store with five sets of design drawings every month. Together with the profits from the dyeing workshop, you can get two hundred taels every month. I will also settle your bill for these drawings based on this."

Zeng Xiuyuan said this as he sat back in his chair and started counting the design drawings given by Tang Peipei.

"Brother Zeng, you might lose money this way. No one knows if all I have done can help you make money like before." Tang Peipei said honestly. She didn't want to take advantage of Zeng Xiuyuan.

"Like you said, that's possible, but there's also a possibility that I can make more money from this than before?" Zeng Xiuyuan didn't care. Even if he lost money, he would be willing to do it. She was short of money, but he had money and didn't need this little bit.

Hearing Zeng Xiuyuan say this, he knew that he had his own ideas and said no more.

After all, no one would complain about having too much money, and she really needs the money.

Zeng Xiuyuan counted and found that Tang Peipei had a total of forty design drawings, which could earn him a total of one thousand six hundred taels.

Tang Peipei's heart moved slightly when she heard the numbers Zeng Xiuyuan said.

This...isn't it too much?

Zeng Xiuyuan directly took out 1,600 taels and handed it to Tang Peipei.

Tang Peipei took it, and Zeng Xiuyuan took out another three hundred taels and handed it to Tang Peipei, "This is your bonus for this month. I guess I can't wait until the accounts are settled to give it to you. Keep it for now."

"Why is it three hundred taels? It was always two hundred before?" Tang Peipei did not take it. She had principles and she did not want what did not belong to her.

"It's the New Year this month, and the profit is more than the previous few months, so it's an extra hundred." Zeng Xiuyuan said with a smile.

Tang Peipei was a little embarrassed and reached out to take it.

Zeng Xiuyuan continued, "In fact, because of your designs, many wealthy families in the county come to us to make clothes. This month, we may give you less. Even so, you should bear it."

"I know that Brother Zeng won't let me suffer too much."

The matter was settled, and the two sat in silence.

"It's getting late, so I'll go back first." Tang Peipei stood up.

Zeng Xiuyuan nodded without saying anything, feeling extremely reluctant to leave. He knew that after this time, they would be separated by the ends of the earth.

Tang Peipei also felt lost, but her reason prevented her from turning back.

Standing at the stairs with his back to Zeng Xiuyuan.

"Brother Zeng, I won't come on your wedding day. Let's set off on that day." After a pause, "Let's take care of each other from now on."

After saying this, he went downstairs and left without waiting for Zeng Xiuyuan to speak.

Zeng Xiuyuan took two steps forward and then went no further.

Now that things have come to this, take care of yourselves!
