The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

As she said this, seeing the relaxed expression on Tong Qian's face, she continued, "The reason why that situation just now occurred was firstly because we were indeed making a lot of noise at that time and didn't pay much attention to what you asked. Secondly, when children see something new, they are always curious. If they can be distracted and pay attention to other things, they are not children."

"So, it's not that we feel that what you gave us before was bad. On the contrary, those things are still the most precious things to each of us. It's just that at that time, under those specific circumstances, being able to see you unexpectedly and receive your help was already the biggest surprise. Compared with you, other things don't have that feeling of anticipation."

"Moreover, whatever the older sister gave us, it was something we had never thought of before, nor dared to hope for. It was also the best gift we could receive at this time. We weren't unhappy before, and after you left, the younger sisters even couldn't sleep at night because of what you gave us. So it's understandable that they are excited at this time."

Upon hearing this, Tong Qian wanted to say something, but Li Ziyi was afraid that if Tong Qian spoke, he wouldn't be able to finish what he had prepared to say, so he didn't give her a chance to interrupt and continued to say what he had always wanted to say.

“Miss Tong, actually we are all the same. We regard you as an older sister and a benefactor. We always feel that we have not done enough to deserve your kindness. You not only let us not live that life of begging, but also let us not live under the strange eyes of others. You made us realize that we are not the ones who have been abandoned.”

"It was you who gave us a home. Even though you can't be with us all the time or live with us, we all know in our hearts that we have a wonderful older sister who cares about us. We are supported by this belief many times, and we want to do everything we can to make you happy."

“Even though we’ve caused you a lot of trouble and made you worry a lot, we know that you still care about us. So when we see you unhappy, we’re really scared. We’re scared that we’ll go back to that cold, heartless life we ​​had before. We can bear the gaze of others, but our younger siblings are the most innocent ones.”

"And the reason we were so excited just now was because we thought that, no matter what, this is a village, and it's very different from the town. After coming here, we won't see those dazzling things in the town anymore. At least we're here to help you with your work. Anything we can do to help you, no matter the environment, is a warm gesture to us."

“We all know in our hearts, and we clearly tell ourselves, that it is impossible to be like when we first came here, just to learn enlightenment from the Master, and to have so much free time. But we never expected that you would bring us so many surprises, which is why we lost our composure for a moment.”

As she said this, she lowered her head. At the beginning, she was just trying to explain the situation and stop Tong Qian from getting angry. But as time went on, she became more and more emotional and wanted to tell her clearly about her own gratitude, everyone's gratitude, and how important she was to Tong Qian.

When Tong Qian heard his initial form of address, she frowned slightly but didn't correct him. Although she didn't want to be too distant from them, she often felt powerless to change things. Moreover, gaining the approval of these relatively older children, or rather, getting them to disregard everything and follow her regardless of their past experiences, was not something that could be accomplished in a short time.

Thinking this way, she naturally didn't want to make things difficult for herself with these things that were already hard to explain. She wasn't as bothered by these things as she had been at the beginning. But after hearing his explanation, the anger that she had been forcing on her face could no longer be maintained. She said slowly, "Don't worry, I'm not angry. You really do take me for who I am."

"Am I really that petty in your eyes? I'm happy that more people like you, so why would I be angry with you over this? Besides, Yun is like an older sister to me. We're all family. Why are you thinking so much?"

"I was just a little unhappy for a moment when I saw your emotions. After all, I've been following you around the whole time, and you ignored me as soon as you saw what Yun gave you. I was unhappy, yes, I was unhappy." As she said this, she just looked at them, and all her emotions poured out at that moment without any concealment.

Li Zichen hadn't spoken during the oppressive atmosphere. Although he didn't share his brother's thoughts, he knew Tong Qian wasn't the type to make a fuss over nothing. Hearing her say this now, he was filled with disbelief. It was only at this moment, seeing her clear emotions, that he realized he and Tong Qian were truly family, and the unbridgeable gap between them had disappeared.

"Sister, you've always been the older sister to us. No matter how good Sister Yun is to us, she can't compare to you. There will probably be many people we care about in the future, but the only one we all want to protect is you." Saying this, she stood next to Li Ziyi and looked at Tong Qian with unwavering determination.

Listening to their stirring words and resounding vows, Tong Qian was filled with emotion. Not wanting them to stare at her like this, she coughed lightly and said, "Alright, I know what you're thinking. What you're doing today, thinking of each other and protecting each other, is exactly what I want to see."

"And you must remember, I called you here only to help me, not to have you live in the village forever. However, I think that although the conditions here are not as good as in the town, it is more free here. Besides, I have not restricted your freedom, so why would I not let you see the things in the town?"
