The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

Tong Qian looked at Ji Xiuping's expression, which was a little annoyed but also a little hopeful, and she couldn't say anything for a moment. But how come her little brother was so old and still didn't understand those complicated things? But she also blamed the original owner of the body for being so reckless in that situation.

Even if I can help him deal with things now, when he passes the imperial examination and enters officialdom, he will still face many dark things. I can't always be by his side. At that time, those gossips will affect his career even more.

Thinking this way, I decided that in addition to making him and Master Qiu study hard, I should also teach him the necessary skills. Otherwise, if such a little white rabbit were to enter the officialdom, he would be devoured by those cunning old foxes. Let's start by dealing with this matter.

After smiling gently, she guided the conversation by saying, "Brother Xiuping, if we want the villagers to change their opinion of us, shouldn't we first let them see the true nature of my family? At that time, wouldn't they realize that many things we did before were just exaggerated by us, which led the villagers to have the wrong perceptions?"

"At that time, would the villagers blame my parents, thinking that they deliberately took advantage of their kindness, and then feel sympathy for us, or even feel guilty? Would those previous bad words change a little then?"

“Although this will indeed affect their situation, they never cared about our feelings from the beginning. For the sake of their son, they didn’t care about my situation at all, and they even dragged you down. Now that I think about it carefully, I really feel that there are too many inappropriate things.”

"I know that what I'm about to say might sound a bit outrageous to you, but I have to say it. If they were even half as good to me as you are to me, I probably wouldn't be thinking of changing our particularly unfavorable situation in this way."

Having said that, I won't continue. If before I only wanted Ji Xiuping to cooperate with me, now my goal is to change Ji Xiuping's personality, to let him see those dark things, and to also have the ability to fight against those conspiracies.

Seeing him pondering his words, I felt a sense of relief. Even though I knew it was impossible to change his attitude anytime soon, there was still time, and one day, my little brother would surely become someone that no one could match.

Based on his previous reading of the book I gave him, it's not hard to see that his comprehension ability is excellent. As long as I have enough patience, his transformation will definitely be remarkable one day.

Thinking this, she didn't hold back her praise at all, just quietly watching him and waiting for him to give his opinion. However, upon closer inspection, it was not hard to find that Ji Xiuping's appearance was indeed very good. Compared with the handsome men she had seen in modern times, he was even better.

In this absolutely quiet environment, Ji Xiuping was so engrossed in thinking about what Tong Qian had just said that he didn't even notice her staring at him. It wasn't that Ji Xiuping didn't know anything, but rather that what Tong Qian had just said was so drastically different from his own understanding.

She had never talked to me about these things before, let alone discussed them in more depth. I really didn't know when she had thought about them, or even considered them so seriously.

I've always known that, at some point, Tong Qian was no longer the same person she used to be. If before I could say that I needed to think things through before considering something, now her thoughts are much more far-reaching than mine, and I can't ignore them.

If we follow her advice, we can definitely change the villagers' minds, but if we don't handle it well, it could affect Tong Qian's own situation.

Thinking this way, he shook his head in disagreement, "Qian'er, although reputation is indeed important, and it is undeniable that the method you mentioned is effective, if it is not handled properly, it will affect you and make the villagers feel that you have abandoned your family for me."

"No matter how they treat you, filial piety is something that everyone here values. Even if I can't get a government job, I won't allow you to risk your reputation. Qian'er, stop talking. I won't allow you to do that."

Seeing his unquestionable demeanor, Tong Qian sighed inwardly. She had thought he could transcend his own situation and simply examine it objectively, but she hadn't expected him to still be thinking about not affecting her. It seemed she still had a long way to go.

He shrugged helplessly, then said in the same serious tone, "Brother Xiuping, don't think so much. No matter what I say to you now, you don't need to consider my thoughts or my situation."

"Actually, the reason I'm asking you these questions is simply to get you to consider from your own perspective, or from the direction the situation is heading, what the most appropriate and necessary thing to do is. Think about it again now."

As she said this, she leisurely picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water for Ji Xiuping and herself. She was indeed a little hungry at this moment, but such an opportunity was rare. As for eating, she would wait.

Following Tong Qian's thoughts, Ji Xiuping considered the appropriate attitude. If Tong Qian's parents were strangers, he probably wouldn't have questioned Qian'er's suggestion, since it was the quickest and most effective solution.

"Qian'er, if we don't consider those things, what you said is indeed a very suitable solution. Moreover, the advantage of this is that what they say is more credible, and the change in circumstances can better illustrate the truth of a matter."

"Moreover, in this process, our familiar neighbors can also testify to the truthfulness of what we say and do, which will better reflect what we need to express."
