Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Farewell
“What are you saying about dying or not dying! We are sisters, not enemies.”
Liu Sisi glared at her fiercely: “It’s just 500 taels of silver. Once you find San Mao, Sisi will introduce you to a good job. We’ll settle down first and then plan for other things.”
“Hmm! My dear sister, from now on, I’ll entrust everything to you!”
Liu Zhi’er clasped her hand and said seriously.
She had already made up her mind to work hard and earn money to pay off her debts!
“Teacher, is the teacher at home?”
As the two were talking, they heard a faint calling from outside. It was Ah-Juan.
Ah-Juan was particularly festive today. She came in from the outside and bowed her head: “Ah-Juan pays respect to the teacher.”
“Ah, it’s Ah-Juan who has come. Hurry up, come and sit here and let’s talk. Why didn’t you go back to your grandmother’s house today?” Liu Sisi warmly greeted her.
Ah-Juan had a joyous look on her face. She obediently got up and sat down on the chair.
“I didn’t go back! My mom and dad asked me to stay at home to prepare for the wedding, and they didn’t let me wander around! They have already calculated that the 18th of the first lunar month is compatible with my birthdate information, so they set the wedding date on this day. So, this year, Ah-Juan can no longer listen to the teacher’s teachings.”
As she spoke, Ah-Juan took out a red invitation from her arms and presented it with both hands.
“I hope the teacher can spare the time to grace us with your presence. I would be honored.”
Liu Sisi reached out and took the invitation, frowning frequency: “Ah-Juan, can you please speak normally with me? It’s very… uncomfortable.”
Ah-Juan glanced around and stuck out her tongue, patting her chest: “This is what my dad asked me to say to you. It made me so embarrassed. Teacher, will you come on that day, on the day of my wedding ceremony?”
“Yes, I will definitely be there, don’t worry.”
Liu Sisi thought for a moment and couldn’t help but instruct her: “You call me ‘teacher’, but I haven’t taught you much. Today, I will give you a piece of advice, which can be considered as fulfilling our predestined relationship.”
“Please do tell, teacher.”
“Ah-Juan, you have a sharp and strong character, and your unwillingness to admit defeat is not a good thing. But being too sharp can backfire. You must remember that in any situation, do not be impulsive, and do not force anything. Then you can definitely turn the tide!”
Ah-Juan grinned dismissively and then bowed in gratitude: “Ah-Juan thanks the teacher for the advice.”
Looking at the as-yet-unappreciative Ah-Juan in front of her eyes, Liu Sisi sighed inwardly, hoping this girl could have a safe and peaceful life.
The days of a small family’s daughter-in-law were not easy, let alone those of a wealthy family!
That night, Liu Sisi casually mentioned Ah-Juan’s visit, to which Di Yelei laughed indifferently: “There are many self-righteous people in this world. They believe they are born to be different and are meant to marry into a good family to enjoy a good life. Everyone has different thoughts, so you don’t have to worry about it too much.”
“I understand, it’s just that she is my student after all, and I really can’t bear to see her stumble, so I said a few more words.”
Liu Sisi sighed: “But you’re right, I was too attached.”
She sincerely hoped that every one of her students could walk a longer and farther path.
The next day, the snow was getting heavier!
The Gan family was up early and bustling about. Today was the day the entire Gan family was to enter the capital.
Gan Jiayou originally wanted to stay a few more days, but his vacation time was running out. Moreover, the weather was unusually cold this year, and it was snowing non-stop. Plus, the selection of studying companions for the princess could not wait. Unable to resist the anxiety in his heart, he set out for the capital ahead of schedule.
