Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 179 - 179: 177: The Nightmare Strikes, Harbor of the Mind (4)

:”Asking others for help is not as good as helping yourself. If your Brother Nan likes knowledgeable girls, then become a knowledgeable girl; if he likes poetry and music, your poetry and music should be even better than his, so that he can’t ignore you. As for not having the opportunity to get close to him…it’s even simpler. I work at the bookstore, don’t I? You can come to the bookstore under the pretext of seeking knowledge and meet me there.”

Liu Sisi knew that she shouldn’t be teaching this spoiled child this way, but if the other party was unwilling to listen to her lessons, it would all be in vain, even if she was really capable.

These words moved Gan Miaoruo’s heart!

She tilted her head and looked at her. After considering it for a moment, she finally made up her mind!

“Alright! Ugly monster, since you know so much about my Brother Nan, I will reluctantly let you be my female tutor!”

After leaving Gan Mansion, Liu Sisi took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

It was really difficult to appease the spoiled child! She had no interest in learning at all, so why did Old Madam Gan insist on forcing her to learn?

However, these were not the main points. The main point was what method could Liu Sisi use to make Gan Miaoruo interested in learning without causing disgust?

Liu Sisi pondered secretly.

At the moment, the sun was in the west. When Liu Sisi passed by the bookstore, she originally planned to go in and sit down. However, the door of the shop was tightly closed, indicating that it had not opened.

Perhaps Nan Tianzong had gone out?

Standing in front of the closed shop door, feeling sad for a moment, Liu Sisi pondered and then turned away.

Last time, she promised Nan Tianzong that she would help him for a year. But now that others had helped her, she couldn’t come and fulfill her promise, which made Liu Sisi feel embarrassed.

Early in the morning the next day, Liu Sisi arrived at the bookstore, which was still tightly closed.

She sat at the shop doorway waiting until it was almost noon, but Nan Tianzong still did not appear.

She was already hungry, and thought of Aunt Cao. She couldn’t help but go to her stall and prepare to eat a bowl of planed noodles before returning.

“Oh? It’s you! You haven’t come for several days. How have you been? Are you okay?”

Seeing her, Aunt Cao smiled happily and said, “Come sit down. Let Aunt Cao treat you to a bowl of planed noodles.”DiScover 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no𝒗/e/lbin(.)com

“Thank you, Aunt Cao. To be honest, I’m really hungry.”

Liu Sisi chatted for a while, and then hesitated to ask, “Aunt Cao, why hasn’t Brother Nan come to open the shop today?”

The smile on Aunt Cao’s face disappeared, and she sighed. She took a key out of her pocket and handed it to Liu Sisi.

“Little Nanzi left several days ago. He asked me to give this to you when he left. He also told me not to give it to you unless you asked.”

“Left? You mean Brother Nan left? Where did he go? When will he be back? Why didn’t he say something to me…”

Liu Sisi was very surprised.

“He went home. It seems that something happened in Little Nanzi’s hometown, and he had to go back for a while. He left in a hurry. As for when he’ll be back, he doesn’t know himself. But apparently, he said that once he has dealt with the family affairs, he will definitely come back.”

“Aunt Cao, you mean… this key is for me? Did he say anything else?”

She never expected Nan Tianzong to leave. She always thought Brother Nan was still running the shop.

Even more surprisingly, he left the key to the shop to her before leaving. What did he mean by doing this?

Could it be that he wanted her to fulfill the promise of working for free for one year? Liu Sisi couldn’t figure it out.

“Little Nanzi said before leaving. This key is given to you, and you can pay the rent for the shop monthly, and the silver sold during the period can be used as your wages, just make sure to restock and maintain the current look.”

Aunt Cao put the noodles in front of Liu Sisi: “I think Little Nanzi must have arranged it this way because he was worried that you would refuse to accept it. Now there is no way for you to refuse. Not to mention, Liu, you are lucky to have met such a good boss.”

It’s indeed her luck!

Liu Sisi also understood, she had taken such a big advantage!

If she really started her shop, various expenses would be huge, which would require a lot of capital. Nowadays, she can make money without spending a cent, like a chicken laying eggs, it’s so good!

She still remembered that she had promised him initially, that she would definitely help for a year, so she must keep her promise.

With this key in hand, Liu Sisi suddenly felt inexplicably heavy.

On the third day, Di Yelei still hadn’t returned.

That day, when she went out, Liu Sisi didn’t leave the two children at Sister Guihua’s place, but took the two children to the bookstore instead.

She opened the door, cleaned, and later greeted customers, keeping busy.

In her spare time, Liu Sisi tidied up the inner room, set up a desk and chairs to tutor the two children, and closed the shop to go home at noon.

At noontime, Liu Sisi still followed Nan Tianzong’s previous habit when he was here, went to the Carriage Shop to pick up the restocked goods, and left behind the goods to be transported next time.

Five days later, she went to Gan Mansion again, and this time, Gan Miaoruo didn’t make things difficult for her.

It has to be said that Gan Miaoruo is really smart, as long as she is taught once, she remembers immediately and can deduce other things from one example, which is much smarter than Di Xuan.

Upon learning that Nan Tianzong had returned to his hometown, Gan Miaoruo’s enthusiasm for studying weakened, and she was listless on the desk, angry.

“I still said that I would surpass Brother Nan in study, but now that he’s gone, what’s the use of me studying so well? I don’t want to study anymore!”

“Who said it’s useless? Even if your Brother Nan has left, won’t he come back? Even if he doesn’t come back, aren’t you guys cousins? Can’t you find an opportunity to exchange knowledge with him? As long as you study hard, you will definitely impress him when you meet him again!” Liu Sisi encouraged her.

Gan Miaoruo’s face was full of frustration: “I don’t want to, it’s too boring. He left without telling me, it’s clear that he doesn’t care about me… ”

Liu Sisi was speechless.

Unexpectedly, the next day, while Liu Sisi was tutoring Di Xuan in the shop, Gan Miaoruo came.

“Ugly monster! I’ve decided. From now on, I’ll study with you here! I will wait for my Brother Nan to come back here.”

“… Really?”

Liu Sisi was speechless!

So, originally in the bookstore, Liu Sisi tutored only Xuan’er in her leisure time, and now she tutored two people together.

Gan Miaoruo learned very quickly, and although she started enlightenment later than Di Xuan, she caught up with Di Xuan’s study progress as fast as a flying bird, which also made Di Xuan feel a crisis and worked even harder.

Even the playful YingEr couldn’t help but come over, becoming more focused, and listening in from time to time.
