Chapter 509: Think Of A Way To Improve The Gu Family’s Standing (1/2)

Mo Beihan’s hopeful face fell.

Gu Qingyao laughed. “My teacher just arrived. I have to stay and take care of her. Grandfather and Grandma Guo are also here and need someone to take care of them. If I remain at home, there will be more resources.”

Mo Beihan was reluctant to give up. “I can send whatever they need. Didn’t your teacher ask you to go to the provincial capital to get some books? We can leave together!”

Gu Qingyao held back her laughter. “I really cannot leave with you so soon. You know that my family’s background is poor and our circumstances are exceptional. I recently stayed in the city for a while and now everyone is paying close attention to the Gu family. All of them are eyeing us, and thinking of marrying into the family.”

“This kind of attention cannot be good for the Gu family. I had better stay at home like a good girl! My teachers are all here, so I can take the opportunity to learn a little!

“The spring planting is about to begin, then it will be the autumn harvest. I have to stay home and help with the housework. Surely, I can’t leave it all to Youngest Aunt! She has to work to earn work points too! Ting Ting is so young, but she is already doing small jobs in the fields and she has to do the household chores too! As her older sister, I cannot possibly be so pampered, right?”

“You are pampered. I cannot bear to have you do the farming. I can support you. With a husband to support you, why do you have to work so hard?” Mo Beihan said self-righteously.

Gu Qingyao: “…”

“All right!” Gu Qingyao coaxed him. “In any case, it’s not possible for me to leave with you for more than half a year. We just met, and you want me to go with you, then return immediately?

“I had better stay home for a while! When the weather gets warmer, I’ll visit you in the provincial capital. If you want to go to Nancheng at that time, we can do that. Then I will hurry back. I must definitely reach home by the autumn harvest.”

Mo Beihan was reluctant. “When the autumn harvest arrives, I will take leave and do your work for you.”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

Although this fellow was a little childish, Gu Qingyao was delighted that he cherished her so much.

“Go home! It’s too cold here. There are still many days left until the new year holiday! We can meet again in a while!”
