Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Apologize to Me Properly 1

Wei Ruo laughed lightly, “It has two meanings. It would be a waste if I kept it since I wouldn’t use it.”

Wei Yilin retorted: “That’s just arguing for the sake of arguing. You’re going to school, how could it be a waste? How could you not use them?”

Wei Ruo smiled, then turned to call Xiumei: “Xiumei, get some of my stationery.”

Yes, miss!” Xiumei’s voice came from inside the room.

After a short while, Xiumei walked out with a big bamboo basket in her hands. Xiumei huffed and puffed as she carried the bamboo basket to everyone.

Upon seeing the contents of the basket, Mrs. Yun, Wei Qingwan, and Wei Yilin all changed expressions.

A basket full of stationery!

The most eye-catching were the sheets of paper, the color and texture immediately revealing their origin from Four Treasure House.

It was not one or two sheets, nor ten or twenty, but a thick stack!

The rest of the items included several inkstones, over a dozen brushes of various sizes, and more than ten sticks of ink.

All these items seemed to be of higher quality than what Wei Qingwan had brought.

“Ruoruo, where did you get so much stationery from?” Mrs. Yun asked with surprise on her face.

Even her eldest son didn’t have this much!

“While at Mo Jiazha, I unintentionally helped an old woman who got lost in the mountains. Her son was in the stationery business, so she gave me a basket of these items as a token of gratitude. Although I haven’t read many books, I know these items are not cheap, so I moved them all over when I came from Mo Jiazha.”

When Wei Ruo moved to the Wei Family, it was well-known that she brought two carloads of belongings.

However, everyone thought it was just cheap stuff, and no one had inquired about what Wei Ruo had brought back.

Who would have thought that in her unsightly belongings from the countryside, she had hidden such treasures!

Wei Ruo said: “So, mother, is it alright for me to say I won’t be needing Qingwan’s gifts? I can’t even use up what I have in this basket full of stationery. Accepting Qingwan’s gifts would only have left them collecting dust in the house. I didn’t want to squander Qingwan’s kindness.”

“Who would have thought that my words would be misconstrued by Qingwan and Yilin? I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but perhaps they initially believed I was the bad guy.”

At her words, Wei Qingwan and Wei Yilin’s faces took on an unpleasant look. Mrs. Yun then said: “As long as it’s cleared up, it’s only a misunderstanding.” Wei Ruo nodded: “Yes, it’s good to clear it up. I initially thought since I had so much stationery, I should give some to Qingwan, but seeing that she had an extra set ready to give to me, she probably won’t need it for quite some time, so I’ll just not give her any for now.”

‘As for Yilm, he just contradicted me and accused me of quibbling and having a poor attitude. Although as his elder sister, I shouldn’t be petty with him considering his young age. But as his elder sister, I can’t spoil him excessively either. If I were to ignore his brash and disrespectful behavior, I would be failing in my duty as his elder sister.”

Wei Ruo’s words left the three before her at a loss for words.

Mrs. Yun also realized that Wei Yilin’s attitude towards Wei Ruo was problematic: “Yilin, apologize to your elder sister! As the younger sibling, how can you talk to your elder sister like that?”

“But mother…”

“No ‘buts’!” Mrs. Yun said sternly.

Wei Yilin was on the verge of exploding, but under Mrs. Yun’s intent gaze, he had no choice but to bow his head.
