Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune

468, Able to Recognize and Correct Mistakes (2nd Update)

But she dared not give too much.

“That’s right, originally his body was beyond saving, doomed to stay this way for life. But you have fed him something, indirectly conditioning his body. Once I have applied acupuncture, and after waiting for a couple of years, I think there’s an eighty percent chance he will be just like any healthy child. Whatever others have, he will have!”

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhinuan’s eyes instantly reddened.

She hugged Xie Yi tightly.

“Master Dugu, thank you so much!”

Xie Yi, on the other hand, held onto Xie Zhinuan tightly.

He wanted to thank his mother, for she had given him a second life and a healthy body.

Parents who gave rebirth should indeed be like this.

“Why thank me? We had an agreement, it’s an exchange. If you are willing, leave the child to me for education in the future. I have a lifetime’s worth of martial arts, and it’s time to find a true heir!”

As for Xie Zhinuan, he was not qualified to teach.

When it came to martial arts prowess, he was just so-so; there was not much potential for improvement.

But this child had a good foundation, plus a mother with a treasure within her, not his birth mother, but Xie Zhinuan was truly beyond reproach in her treatment of this child.

A birth mother could do no more than that.

If he taught the child well, who knows, Xie Zhinuan might be so pleased that she would give him some other treasures.

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhinuan helped Xie Yi put on his pants.

“Aunt Chen, please choose an auspicious day for Ayi to pay respects and learn martial arts!”

Such a matter of pledging apprenticeship must be taken seriously.

And Dugu Zhen liked things to be taken seriously.

Xie Yi pursed his lips, but in the end, he accepted.

He did not yet know that his own mother’s martial arts were of the same lineage as Dugu Zhen’s, belonging to the same clan.

However, regardless, Xie Zhinuan was still grateful to Dugu Zhen, instructing the kitchen to fulfill all of Dugu Zhen’s requests, whether it be food or drink.

As long as the estate had it, it should not be refused.

It was like treating him as a respected elder.

When Manager Chen was about to leave, Xiaoyuan personally came to see him off, “Miss has some matters to deal with and asked me to escort Manager Chen!”

Xiaoyuan had someone deliver pastries and braised meat.

“This is a small token of our Miss’s appreciation. This portion is for you, Manager Chen. Please take it home for your children to try something different. And for this portion, please make a trip and send it to Xiaoyuan’s sister’s house!”

“Thank you, thank you, I surely will. Please tell Miss Xie that from now on, Dong Sheng is in her care. If this fellow misbehaves, she has my permission to discipline him however she sees fit!” Manager Chen said, casting a glance at Dong Sheng who stood slightly doltishly to one side, his heart aching.

Such a smart lad he once was.

What a sin.

“You’re overthinking, Manager Chen. Dong Sheng is very capable, and the Miss relies on him heavily. When we meet again, he will certainly be a different Dong Sheng. You can rest assured and head back!”

“Very well, very well, I bid you farewell!”

Manager Chen boarded the mule cart, and before leaving, he took a special look at Dong Sheng.@@novelbin@@

The mule cart gradually moved away.

Looking on, Dong Sheng’s eyes reddened.

“Actually, you’re not doing too badly. At least you have an uncle who would go to such lengths for you. Serve the Miss well from now on, and let go of past events. If you still yearn for Xiaoyuan, you should strive even harder to become someone worthy of her!”

Xiaoyuan said this, seeing Dong Sheng’s eyes reddening as if he was about to cry. It wasn’t appropriate to say more.

“Let’s go!”

“Sister Xiaoyuan,” Dong Sheng called softly.

“?” Xiaoyuan looked at him.

“I, I…”

Xiaoyuan patted him on the shoulder, “To know your mistakes and be able to correct them is the greatest virtue. The Miss kept you, in part because of Xiaoyuan, but the main reason is that you are worthy. Dong Sheng, making the wrong choice once is enough. You must seize this opportunity now, or no one can help you for the rest of your life!”
