Chapter 57: You shouldn’t think like that.

“I’m not as good as my sister that I can do a career, earn merit for the Wei family, let the Wei family be favored by noble people, I’m really useless ……” Wei Qingwan bit her lip, her eyes flooded with tears.

Wei Yi Chen frowned, “Wanwan how did you come up with such an idea?”

“I …… just feel that I am inferior to my sister in every way, and I am sure that I will not be liked by you.”

After Wei Qingwan finished saying this, she thought Wei Yi Chen would comfort her, but she didn’t expect Wei Yi Chen to stop, frowning and looking at her with a grave expression.

“Big brother?” Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Yichen suspiciously.

“Wanwan, we should be happy that Ruo’er is good, and we should not think that the other’s excellence will cause us to lose favor and be disliked. Since we are family, both good and bad are family; since we are family, how can we compare each other everywhere?” Wei Yi Chen said in a grave tone.

Wei Qingwan froze for a moment, then realized with a jolt that she had just slipped up.

“Big brother, I don’t mean that, I’m naturally happy that my sister is excellent, I just suddenly realized that I need to work harder after my sister is so good, or else I’m going to be left behind when my older siblings are so good, and I want to contribute to the family as well.” Wei Qingwan explained.

“It’s fine if that’s what you think.” Wei Yi Chen’s expression eased, and then added, “Just don’t put too much pressure on yourself, and don’t think that Ruo’er’s excellence will affect you or anything, if Ruo’er is excellent and powerful, we’ll just be happy for her, and there’s no need to have any other thoughts.”

“Uh, I know.” Wei Qingwan responded softly.

Seeing this, Wei Yi Chen didn’t say anything more, thinking that Wan Wan was just a momentary slip of the tongue, she has always been very kind and gentle, not so much so that she would really have any problem with Ruo Er.

The two made some small talk before parting ways.

As soon as he returned to Wang Mei Yuan, Wei Qingwan jumped on the bed and cried like a pear, let Cui He how to comfort are useless.

“Go to Xie family study, get Mr. Wang’s favor is sister, can improve the barren land planting seedlings is also sister, compared with sister, I’m not as good as this and that is not as good as that, I sooner or later to be abandoned by parents as the other!”

“Miss, you mustn’t think like this, if you cry and break your body, then the one who will be pleased and happy is not Missy? You must not give up on yourself!” Cui He was also worried.

She was afraid that Wei Qingwan would be devastated, and once Wei Qingwan tried to lose favor, then as Wei Qingwan’s personal maid her days would also become difficult.

“What can I do if I don’t give up on myself, I can’t blame anyone else, I’m not the flesh and blood of my parents, I don’t have a blood relationship with them, and it’s only a matter of time before I’m disliked ……”

The more Wei Qingwan thought about it, the sadder she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her future was hopeless.

“Miss ……” Cui He didn’t know how to comfort Wei Qing Wan for a while, muttering, “If only my mother was here, she might be able to help you out, Miss.”

“But Sister can’t come back nowadays either.” Wei Qingwan murmured.

If Sister had been there, she would have helped herself.

It’s just a pity that because of the last incident, Sister was punished to the manor.

“Miss, why don’t you seek an opportunity to beg for mercy with madam, if you open your mouth, madam will listen.” Cui He added.

“I …… will try it next time.” Wei Qingwan answered in a low voice.

Governor Qian was very efficient, and when he returned, he posted a public notice and sent his men around to publicize it.

However, anyone who did not have land, whether they were farmers or fishermen, could go to the government office to register, and the government would distribute the barren land in the south of the city in an orderly manner, and teach them how to improve the cultivation of the barren land.

As soon as the news came out, a long line formed in front of the county courthouse.

Soon after the people who actually got the official approval and had the right to cultivate the land let out cheers.

For a time, the whole county was filled with the joyful voices of the poor people.

Watching such a scene, in the distance on the teahouse Lu Yuhong can not help but emit emotion: “This Wei family Miss out of the really a good idea, look at these displaced no field and no land can not eat, how energetic ah, let them come to recognize the land labor, that is certainly more than the hired people to heart.”

Chu Lan stared at the street without making a comment, but from his expression, Lu Yuhong could still see Chu Lan’s approval of this matter.

“Brother Chu, would you say that right now within this Xing Shan County, are you more interested in the owner of the Four Treasures Store a little more or the Wei Family’s eldest young lady a little more?” Lu Yuhong’s inexplicable curiosity popped up again.

“Brother Yu, your curiosity is too great.”

“I’ve been like this since I was a child, it’s not like it’s the first day Brother Chu has known me.” Lu Yuhong muttered.

“Four Treasures Zhai sold things although good, means although shrewd, but are for money; Wei family Miss improve the barren land planting crops is for the people, compared to the two, high and low immediately see. However, my curiosity about both is not heavy, the purpose of my trip is still the matter of anti-Japanese.” Chu Lan replied.

Lu Yuhong said, “The people of this Xingshan County are really suffering, with Japanese invaders on the outside and such a yearly schedule on the inside. I hope that this Miss Wei’s method will be useful and really produce food, and I also hope that the reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive soon.”

“Reinforcements arrive only if the commanding generals are capable, if Wei Mingting fails to make an achievement this time, he won’t be able to keep his position as a sixth rank lieutenant. Even if he has a daughter who can help the people’s welfare, it won’t work.”

“Indeed, to be a military general or to be able to win battles, but I see Wei Ming Ting like a some ability, otherwise it will not rely on so many troops to defend so long. I also arrived at the Xingshan County after careful observation to know, this Xingshan County’s military strength is really pitifully small.” Lu Yuhong lamented.

After two busy days, Wei Ruo went back to Xie’s house to read with Xie Ying.

After arriving at the Xiefu Academy, Wei Ruo sat down in his seat.

Wang hadn’t arrived yet, and Xie Ying was on the sidelines organizing her warhorse drawings.

Seeing Wei Ruo, Xie Ying, who had never had much curiosity about Wei Ruo, suddenly looked at her with a look full of curiosity.

“Did you really grow crops in the wasteland south of the city?”

South of the city wasteland improvement planted crops is the most talked about in the past two days in Xingshan County, the most attention of the matter, Xie Ying want to do not know is difficult.

“Uh-huh.” Wei Ruo nodded.

“Then you’re awesome.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

“I rarely compliment people, and you’re the first of your age to be complimented by me.” Xie Ying emphasized.

“Then I’m honored.”

“It’s not that you’re honored, it’s that you’re really good. It’s so much more powerful than those women I’ve met who only know how to fight over jealousy and beauty. When I usually meet with those people, they are always yakking and I get tired of listening to them. I couldn’t look at people like that and thought they were uninteresting, but I now realize that you are very different from those people.”

Wei Ruo couldn’t help but smile, the two of them had been attending classes together for so long, Xie Ying had always been indifferent to her and rarely spoke so much to her, she didn’t expect that she would actually develop admiration for her because of her accomplishments in the wasteland south of the city.

Is this a windfall?
