The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

“You don’t need to worry about so much. You must know that I taught Yun’s singing skills. When we were together, we were actually the same in these things. Besides, in just one or two days, you will definitely find that Yun has been trained by me and is no longer the same as before.”

"Besides, the reason I asked you to go there is just so you can adjust your emotions and find a sister for your children to play with. After all, you know that when I'm busy, I sometimes can't take care of anything. Before, when they were in town, there were people looking after them. Now that they're back there, I'm even more worried."

"Your presence here is a favor to me, and it's not impossible for you to develop a certain level of understanding with Yun. I'll come back with you a few days before we launch your performance style. After all, I'm still a little uncertain about the final result if I don't keep an eye on it."

Hearing Tong Qian say this, Kui'er's already wavering resolve could no longer be maintained, and a genuine smile once again appeared on her face. Even if she had to continue playing the piano afterward, such a brief moment of peace would probably be a kind of salvation for her.

“Miss Tong, thank you so much for being able to truly understand what I’m thinking. Even though I came here with you, I haven’t really felt any peace. I always felt like I was just living in a different place, continuing the same life. But the future you’ve envisioned for me is so beautiful that I have no reason to refuse.”

Seeing that she had agreed to the matter, Tong Qian felt relieved. It was good that she didn't have to think about how to handle the situation safely, nor did she have to worry too much about what emotional changes might occur at this time.

Thinking this, he glanced at Yun Yatou. In her eyes, he saw a sense of relief on one hand, and an expectation that he couldn't quite decipher on the other. So he casually asked, "Yun Yatou, do you also want to go back with me?"

As Yun Yatou listened, she suppressed the obvious expectation on her face. Although she longed for a simple life, she also knew that the money she could earn at the teahouse every day was not a small amount. If no one was watching over her, something might go wrong.

Moreover, there's a drama troupe here too. It's fine when Miss Tong is here, but if Miss Tong doesn't come for a long time, and I'm not here either, I don't know what they might think. Compared to that comfort, I know better what I should be doing.

“Miss Tong, to be honest, everyone would yearn for such a simple life. Although the conditions weren’t great, everyone has a warmth in their heart. You probably don’t know, but the happiest days I’ve had over the years were the time I spent with you in the village.”

Seeing the incredulous look on Tong Qian's face, he continued, "I know you won't believe it, but you should know that in our situation, what we crave most and what we can't have is peace and quiet. But I know what I should do now. A teahouse can't function without people."

"You've been busy lately, and while the boss and the troupe leader often listen to you, that's not always the case. When no one's around, they might have other inappropriate thoughts. So, I'll stay here until you've dealt with those important matters, at least to prevent them from having any opportunities to take advantage of you."

Hearing Yun Yatou's plan, Tong Qian felt a mix of emotions. She had been thinking about finding her the best life she could afford, but she had forgotten that after such a big change, what she longed for most was that rare peace and tranquility.

I knew I couldn't be so careless when considering things anymore, but I never expected that she could put herself in my shoes and consider the current situation so thoroughly. The reason I could say I wouldn't come was because I always felt that with Yun here, the boss would still have some consideration and wouldn't do anything underhanded.

Hearing Yun say this, he realized that he, who never trusted others easily, had become exceptionally trusting of Brother Xiuping and Yun at some point, to a degree that was even beyond his expectations. Thinking this, he sighed softly.

Then he murmured, "Alright, I know you're thinking of me, but remember, if you really want to live that kind of life later, you can come back to the village to find me whenever you have free time. Although someone needs to keep an eye on things here, I think they won't dare to do anything too much for the time being."

"Besides, even if we know in our hearts that neither the troupe leader nor the boss is entirely trustworthy, they don't know each other's attitudes towards me. So let them remain in this state of confusion, guessing at each other's intentions. This way, we don't have to worry about unnecessary things."

Seeing the obvious joy on Yun's face, he realized that he hadn't considered things enough before, so he continued, "To be honest, after I brought those things back to the children yesterday, they were all very happy and even very grateful to you."

"You even asked me when you could spend some more time with them. I've never really known what your true feelings are, but since you have this idea, you can choose some days later and have the troupe leader perform his play both in the morning and afternoon. You can go back to the village and spend a few days with me and the children. There's nothing wrong with that."

As Tong Qian listened, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face. "Miss Tong, since you put it that way, after the troupe leader has calmed down the emotions of everyone in the drama troupe in a few days, I will go back to the village to accompany you and Kui'er. This way, I can also help her and me develop some tacit understanding. Actually, I really care about those children."
