Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qu Feng felt that she was really lucky. It was as if the hardships she had suffered in the first half of her life were all so she could enjoy the second half of her life. She actually gave birth to such a considerate and sensible daughter. “Alright, let’s not cry anymore. I will comb your hair first.”
Qu Feng looked relieved. Not only because her daughter was sensible, but because her daughter had married a husband who understood her, doted on her, and cherished her.
“If you comb your hair once, you won’t have to worry about wealth or illnesses. If you comb your hair twice, you’ll have many children and you’ll live a long life. If you comb your hair thrice, you’ll be together forever.” Qu Feng said her blessings to her daughter in a choked voice as she combed Xu Qing’s hair. When she got married, her mother had combed her hair the same way and sincerely wished her happiness. Now, her mother had left her, and she could no longer go back to see her family. She was marrying her daughter off today.
Xu Qing was moved, and her eyes were filled with tears. She knew that Qu Feng was a good mother! She was just under a lot of stress from trying to survive amidst poverty.
Suddenly, a seductive voice sounded. Deng Chengxi was dressed in light purple and holding an exquisite box in her hand as she walked in with a smile. “Little Qing, I’m not late, am I?”
Xu Qing looked over and smiled. “No, you came at the right time!”
Qu Feng felt that this girl was really stunning!
It was dawn now. On their wedding day, the bride’s friends gave gifts to add to her dowry, one after another. It was the most sincere blessing.
“This is the wedding gift I prepared for you. You have to keep it well.” Deng Chengxi handed the jewelry box to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing opened it and couldn’t help but exclaim. Qu Feng was even more stunned.
“Don’t tell me you’ve taken out all the treasures you’ve accumulated over the years?” Xu Qing smiled brightly and handed the jewelry box to Xun Fen for her to keep it. Deng Chengxi had given it to her, so she wouldn’t refuse. When Deng Chengxi got married in the future, she would carefully prepare a gift for her to return the favor.
Deng Chengxi smiled and said, “It’s good that you know! But your makeup is very ordinary. It doesn’t highlight your features at all. Instead, it covers your features! Hurry up and remove it. Let me redo it for you.”
Xu Qing was amused. Her makeup skills were alright! Of course, she was a surgeon, so in terms of makeup skills, she was indeed a little lacking! However, her makeup skills weren’t that bad! Xu Qing looked at the time. Since it was enough, she would let Deng Chengxi do whatever she wanted.
While Deng Chengxi was reapplying Xu Qing’s makeup, Li Helan and Wu Xiao’an also came. They had also prepared a wedding gift for Xu Qing. Although the gifts were not expensive, the kind intention was what mattered. As for the Xu family, no one came.
However, Xu Qing didn’t dwell on it. At this moment, Xu Qing saw a cowering figure at the door.
Xu Qing immediately recognized who the other party was! It was Xu Jiangdong and Mo Qiu’s youngest daughter, Xu Yue. She was four years younger than Xu Qing. Because Xu Yue was a girl and had always been quiet, she wasn’t well-liked in the family.
However, compared to Xu Qing’s family, she definitely fared better. Perhaps it was because her parents usually left her alone at home and only Xu Qing had taken care of her, she treated Xu Qing better. She had never bullied Xu Qing’s family and would occasionally secretly help Xu Qing with her work. After helping her for a while, Xu Yue would run away without saying anything because she was worried that she would be beaten up by her family.
“Come in quickly. Don’t stand outside.” Qu Feng naturally saw Xu Yue and quickly greeted her.
Xu Yue was a little afraid. She grabbed the corner of her clothes with both hands and didn’t dare to enter. Only when Qu Feng pulled her in did Xu Yue walk in timidly.
“What’s wrong?” Xu Qing’s tone was gentle. She really didn’t want to have any contact with the Xu family. If the Xu family found a breakthrough with Xu Yue, it wouldn’t be good for Xu Yue either. Moreover, Xu Qing wasn’t a saint, so she couldn’t take care of everyone.
“Little Qing… I… I prepared this for you… as a wedding gift.” They didn’t know if Xu Yue felt embarassed or something else, but after stuttering, she stuffed the cloth she had secretly saved up to buy into Xu Qing’s hand. Then, before Xu Qing could say anything, she turned around and ran away.
Xu Qing looked at the handkerchief in her hand and was slightly stunned. Then, she smiled. She didn’t expect Xu Yue to be so considerate. Fortunately, Xu Yue had not been led astray by the Xu family.
