The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

After a long silence, Kui'er finally spoke hesitantly: "I know you mean well, and you consider things from my perspective, wanting me to do better and have my own life. But I don't know what kind of attitude I should have towards life."

Seeing her so silent, Tong Qian knew she shouldn't act rashly, so she decided to end the conversation. Let's not talk about these things for now, and we can think about these difficult issues later when we have the chance. Let's go out and get something to eat now, since you're going to sing, and it wouldn't be appropriate for you to go hungry.

"However, aside from that, there is indeed something I need you to do. I told you about it yesterday. During this period, you need to listen to some of the unique characteristics of Yun's singing, as well as those little habits that others can't mention. Try your best to develop a certain tacit understanding with Yun."

“I know you don’t want too many people to see you right now, but even if you really don’t want to play the zither here later, we can put up a screen behind you so you won’t be exposed to people. But your zither skills are something I really like. I know I can’t force you, but I was thinking of giving you and Yun a chance to play together, so that at least I can see what kind of effect my previous idea would have.”

Hearing her say this, Kui'er was surprised that they had considered her so thoroughly. Just as she was about to express her opinion, Tong Qian interrupted her, saying, "Alright, let's not talk about these things now. Let's go out and eat something first. We can talk about it while we eat."

Kui'er seemed to be listening and let out a soft sigh of relief. If she had said what she just said, she might not have said anything, but if she could truly think things through...

After Tong Qian let the two order what they wanted to eat, she simply ordered a cup of tea. Kui'er sat there, her eyes filled with confusion. She wanted to ask something, but she was afraid that what she said at this moment might be inappropriate, so she just focused on eating what was in front of her.

As Tong Qian watched, a warmth spread through her heart. Finally, in Kui'er's heart, she had been included, or rather, someone else. She had tried to care but couldn't bring herself to say it, while Kui'er had never wanted to speak up in the first place. These were two fundamentally different things for her.

Yun tried to speak, but didn't know where to begin. The atmosphere among the three of them suddenly became a little awkward.

Tong Qian watched as the two of them diligently ate the food in front of her, but no matter how she looked at it, something still felt off. Meanwhile, she carefully considered how she could talk to Kui'er in a way that wouldn't make her feel any resistance.

Seeing how distracted the two were while eating, and knowing that they wouldn't be able to settle down if he didn't speak up, he coughed lightly and then told them his plan to have Kui'er go back to the village with him for a few days.

As Tong Qian was explaining her plans, she noticed a slight change in Kui'er's expression. However, no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't figure out what emotions were behind that expression. She had truly encountered some extraordinary people today; no matter how carefully she looked, she couldn't understand what they were thinking.

At this moment, Yun looked at Kui'er cautiously. On one hand, she was curious about Kui'er's attitude, and on the other hand, she was afraid that Kui'er would think that Miss Tong's plan was because she didn't want Kui'er to stay here any longer and was afraid that Kui'er would cause trouble for Miss Tong.

However, when Kuai'er heard Tongxiang's plan, he was indeed conflicted. If it was just about letting his own village do things, he would feel uncomfortable. But when he heard that she wanted him to teach a few children to play the piano, he suddenly felt a longing for the kind of life he had previously yearned for.

If before, I just wanted to go to a quiet village and live a simple life by myself, then now that I have a few children playing around with me, and I can use my knowledge to help them improve, isn't that more valuable to me?

Thinking this, he suddenly felt a sense of longing for the suggestion Tong Qian had just made. Looking at the worried expressions on Tong Qian and Yun Yatou's faces, he thought to himself, "Perhaps it's because I always gave them the impression that I needed to be treated with utmost care that they're afraid to really tell me anything."

If it were Yun Yatou, Tong Qian would probably be discussing these things with her, not asking questions. Perhaps she hadn't truly opened up. Thinking this, a long-lost smile appeared on her face as she said:

“Actually, Miss Tong, I think your suggestion is really good. Being able to spend time with a few children in such a quiet place has always been something I've longed for. Now that I have the opportunity to experience that kind of life a little earlier, it's probably a luxury for me, but…”

Hearing her abrupt stop, Tong Qian was momentarily confused as to what she was still worried about. However, the fact that she had agreed to such a request was already quite remarkable, so she quickly asked, "What are you still afraid of?"

Looking at her seemingly genuine expression, Kui'er finally spoke, "Didn't you say before that you wanted me to see what techniques Yun'er would use when she sang, hoping that I could develop a certain level of understanding with her? If I leave like this, what will happen to this matter?"

Hearing her concerns, Tong Qian was delighted. The fact that she was able to make such a concession and dare to express her own thoughts in such a short time was enough for her. As for the tacit understanding with Yun Yatou, how could that be an obstacle? Since she had said such a thing, she naturally already had a corresponding solution.
