Chapter 491: Chapter 493: I’m Getting Married to _1 Chapter 491: Chapter 493: I’m Getting Married to _1 Feng Gu also held back her tears, “Sister Nan Feng, I apologize for coming to see you today.
I didn’t really want to co, but my brother and sister-in-law insisted.
I didn’t an to cause you any trouble.
Regardless of whether you help or not today, I won’t bla you.
I’ll marry whoever my father arranged for .”
“Feng Gu, you…” Nan Feng was nearly speechless with exasperation.
“Feng Gu, let persuade you once more.
If you were a penniless girl with absolutely no ans, I would certainly help you financially.
But think about your current lifestyle.
You have a job, you earn a tael of silver every month working here, which gives you a middle-class inco in the county town.
You’re fully capable of leading a good life on your own.
Why insist on jumping into the fire?” Nan Feng did her best to persuade her not to accept such so-called filial piety.
“Sister Nan Feng, thank you for taking care of all this ti.
You are a very good person.
However, I have my own destiny and I cannot bla others,” Feng Gu remained stubborn.
“No, Feng Gu, you should think carefully about what I just said and co to see once you’ve figured it out!”
After finishing her speech, Nan Feng took out a piece of broken silver from her wallet and turned to Feng Gu’s brother, “When Feng Gu first ca, I gave her five taels of silver.
I agreed to provide her credit in advance because I found her likable.
But I made it clear even then, and our contract also clearly stipulates that there won’t be further credits.
I won’t involve myself in Feng Gu’s family affairs.
Since you’re here to claim her now, I’ll let her leave.
I still owe Feng Gu half a tael of silver for her wage, here’s the money now, and as for Feng Gu… you may take her away.”
“Sister Nan Feng… I’m leaving now, please take care of yourself!”
Feng Gu was dragged away by her brother, frequently looking back as she went.
…
Nan Feng was not in good spirits that day, even with a thriving business on the opening day.
When closing the shop, while she tidied up the shop and Li Moxiu ca to deliver the account book, Nan Feng casually asked, “Do you think I did the wrong thing?
Should I have bought her before, or should I pay ten taels of silver to buy her back now?”
They were all discussing Feng Gu’s situation in the backyard earlier today, Li Moxiu had heard everything clearly from within the shop.
Faced with Nan Feng’s question, Li Moxiu looked at her and said, “Everyone has their own fate.
So people resign themselves to their destiny, while others strive to change it.
You don’t need to feel guilty or bla yourself.
You, a young girl, have been working hard in the county town, and it has not been easy.
You’ve done your best.
So people need to experience a few setbacks to understand, let Feng Gu figure it out on her own.”
“But if I really let her figure it out on her own, will it be too late and lead to a serious mistake?”
“Miss Nan, if a person is determined to make a mistake, you can stop them once, but they will likely make the sa mistake again next ti.”
“…”
…
Feng Gu never returned after she left.
Nan Feng knew Feng Gu, with her weak and conservative nature, would likely never return.
She had built a rapport with Feng Gu over ti and she did hold so affection for her.
As such, Nan Feng didn’t rush to find another servant, she let Aunt Pei handle the housework while she managed the shop.
On the tenth day, Wang Ju from the Business Association ca to invite Nan Feng to the annual eting.
He ntioned all mbers of the Association were expected to attend to discuss the vision for the coming year, and to strengthen the unity among the residents of the county in order to boost the local economy.
