Shui Qiancheng thought he would be beaten, so he immediately shrank his body nervously, and Shuying stopped in front of him.

"I don't bother to hit an idiot like you. It will only make my hand hurt."

"..."

"Okay, even if you take a hundred steps back, just pretend it has nothing to do with me! What on earth were you doing in the warehouse for a whole month? What did you see?"

"Wha, what..."

What happened when he was locked in the warehouse? Shui Qiancheng backed away, more scared than when he was slapped by Shuying before.

"Didn't the warehouse where you were locked up have windows? What did you see there?"

"I only saw my farmland..."

"So, have you seen it?"

At that time, because I was bored all day long, I would sometimes stare blankly out of the window.

Shui Qiancheng tilted his head, and Shuying opened her mouth in surprise...but she didn't say anything, sighed and left.

…

Don't understand.

What can you see when you look out the warehouse window?

The scene I saw at that time was no different from usual.

Shuying, her brother, sister and younger siblings work in the farmland behind their home every day, digging soil and pulling weeds.

...What do you mean! What does it mean to take a hundred steps back, even if it has nothing to do with her...

Her tone seemed to have something to do with her.

Shui Qiancheng wiped the floor with a rag to vent his anger.

"Hey... Shui Qiancheng, are you helping to mop the floor?"

A voice suddenly came from behind. Shui Qiancheng looked back in surprise and found that the person who poked his head in was the village chief's daughter-in-law.

She holds orange tree branches in her hands and holds baskets filled with different kinds of citrus.

"Shuying asked me to mop the floor..."

"It turns out she asked you to wipe it."

The sister-in-law smiled bitterly and put the basket on the table.

"She asked that your affairs be handed over to her, so we didn't interfere. It seems that you were tortured by her."

"……Um?"

Shui Qiancheng stopped, and his sister-in-law turned to look at him.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you saying that Shuying asked her to be in charge of my affairs?"

"Yes, Shuying said it. When you came to our house, she said she would take full responsibility. Although I knew she would be very strict, I guessed it right."

My sister-in-law inserted the orange tree branches into the flower arrangement on the shelf and adjusted it.

"However, considering her mood, I believe you will also think it is excusable. Of course, I believe you have your considerations, but in the end she was implicated in a heartbreaking result..."

Shui Qiancheng couldn't understand what she was talking about.

Is it understandable that Shuying is so strict with herself?...Is this what my sister-in-law said just now?

Shui Qiancheng was speechless, and his sister-in-law didn't know how to explain Shui Qiancheng's silence, so she smiled lonely.

"Don't think she treats you as a punching bag. She is very angry because she has always said before that she hopes you can work hard for her sake..."

A servant came from the corridor calling: "Madam, Madam."

The sister-in-law immediately responded and walked out.

Shui Qiancheng knelt on the ground, holding the rag, and opened his eyes blankly.

...Why did I forget these things?

I used to play and read with Shuying a lot.

Shuying was better at reading than her two brothers. The village chief and Shuying's parents said with regret that if Shuying had been a boy, they would have sent her to the capital for further study.

It is not a bad thing for a woman to study, but even if she passes the state examination and the joint examination, it will only arouse curious eyes from the world.

Moreover, even if you pass the state examination, the governor and the prefect are sometimes reluctant to write letters of recommendation for taking the examination.

Shuying also planned to attend Yongfeng's private school, but was rejected.

"Shui Qiancheng, I really envy you. You can keep studying and take part in the examination."

Shui Qiancheng forgot when Shuying said this to him... By the way, it was before he left for the capital.

You can go to the capital to see your beloved sister, or you can go to study there.

I was so excited at that time, Shuying smiled and sent me off.

"You have to work hard for my sake."

Shuying said this at the time.

I forgot about this...

When he left the village, his heart had already flown to the capital. He had no idea what Shuying's mood was when she said these words. He could only nod to her and say: "Okay."

"Hahaha……"

His vision was blurry and he couldn't help laughing.

Small drops of water fell on the clean floor.

I really didn’t know anything, so no wonder I was hated by her. She also said that I had done nothing to regret Shuying, and I went too far.

"...Hahaha...what's wrong with me...what am I doing..."

He desperately wiped away the tears, but no matter how hard he wiped them, they still quickly fell to the ground.

"No...if this continues, the floor will never be wiped clean...haha...hahaha..."

It was so ridiculous that he thought it was so funny that he could only laugh.

Why……

Why was he only punished like this?

Shuying leaned against the railing of the corridor, holding her chin, and stared blankly at the yard.

She seemed to be thinking about something. When she heard Shui Qiancheng's cry, she turned her head and saw his face swollen from crying, frowning slightly.

"...Have you finished mopping the floor?"

"Well, I'm sorry it took so long to finish. The floor and shelves are all clean."

I don’t know anything, I don’t even know that I don’t know anything.

Maybe it's too late.

"If you know, I want to ask you something."

"……What's up?"

"I was locked up in a warehouse for a month."

Shuying looked at Shui Qiancheng's face intently, and then looked at the yard silently.

"I look outside from the warehouse window. Although I don't look outside all the time, I look outside almost every day."

He originally thought that the scene he saw had not changed at all. His family was digging soil and pulling weeds in the farmland behind him every day.

I see it every day, why haven't I found it yet?
