Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Chapter 7: Adapt to changing circumstances

The grandmother standing there said in surprise: "Dan Yitou has changed. He can even say thank you. Although his brain is injured, it has improved his intelligence."

Zhou Xinyue smiled, not knowing how to explain, and said to the grandmother sitting there, "You have indeed changed a bit. Erdan said you lost your memory, but I think you have become smarter."

Zhou Xinyue said sadly: "I have caused such a big disaster, and I don't know how to explain it to the mistress and the master! I am extremely distressed. I deserve this suffering."

The mistress and Grandma Li sighed helplessly at the same time.

The mistress said, "I have told you many times before that you must not have any feelings for Erlang (Jinlang). Although you were silent at times, you always assured me that you and Erlang were just master and servant, and there was no love affair between men and women. I believed you and had discussed with the master to take you into the clan and find a good marriage for you in Cangdu under the name of the daughter of the Jin family to comfort your mother's spirit in heaven. Who knew that you... Alas!"

Zhou Xinyue was speechless. She didn't know what kind of person Goudan was before. She dared to do such a thing in the feudal era of ancient times. She was a new-age woman. Although it was nothing in modern times, it was completely different in this era.

Zhou Xinyue also muttered in her heart, since this matter has already happened, Goudan has no blood relationship with Jinlang, so it would be okay for Jinlang to marry Goudan. Logically speaking, since the mistress and the master both want to repay Goudan's parents for saving their lives, why don't they take Goudan into their own mansion and make her their daughter-in-law? It's very strange that they would rather go through a big fuss and hold a family entry ceremony to take her in as a goddaughter than let Goudan marry into their mansion.

Zhou Xinyue thought of this and said doubtfully, "Madam, I have completely lost my memory now and can no longer remember what happened before. If it were me now, I really wouldn't dare to do such an ugly thing. But now, as a bystander, I dare to say that since this has happened, does the Madam have any plans to take this dog... oh, no, me into your house?"

The two elderly people were shocked. Grandma Li, who was standing, said hurriedly, "No, absolutely not. This, this must not happen. This, this, this cannot happen."

Zhou Xinyue widened her eyes and asked, "Why?"

Grandma Li seemed to have something to say, but she held it back and glanced at the mistress quickly.

The mistress frowned and said, "I don't know how to explain it to you. Anyway, this is absolutely not possible. But you just need to know that I just want you to live a good life, but you must not marry Erlang."

After the mistress finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Xinyue with a firm, unquestionable look.

Although Zhou Xinyue was confused, she nodded and said nothing more.

Zhou Xinyue nodded hurriedly and said, "Thank you, Madam. I'm sorry to trouble you."

The mistress looked at Zhou Xinyue with a gleam of light in her eyes, smiled, shook her head, then stood up and left the room with Grandma Li.

On the way back to the room, the mistress couldn't help but look back at Zhou Xinyue's room thoughtfully. Grandma Li couldn't help but say, "Madam, how come this Gou Dan got hurt on the head and his temperament has changed. I can't tell what has changed, but I just feel that he is different from before."

My grandmother also felt the same way and said, "Yes, this Y-head, I can't explain it, it seems different from before. You can't tell me what's different, but I can't really put my finger on it. I'm not as timid as before when talking to people, and my speech seems to be smoother, unlike before when I would stutter when I was nervous. It seems like I've grown up a little and become smarter."

Grandma Li also said hurriedly: "Yes, what the eldest lady said is true. When she was talking to the eldest lady just now, she really didn't stutter at all. Could it be that she really grew up overnight and suddenly became smart?"

The lady smiled and said, "This is a good thing. I was hoping that she would be more sensible so that I could marry her off with peace of mind. Sigh... I really didn't expect it..."

Grandma Li supported her and comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. We can discuss this matter after the master comes back."

As she was talking, the mistress tripped and fortunately Grandma Li hurriedly supported her so that she did not fall to the ground. The mistress smiled and said, "Alas, I am really getting old. My eyesight is getting worse and worse. Forget about the left eye. Now the right eye is probably almost the same."

Grandma Li said quickly, "Madam, it's my fault. I didn't notice it. Fortunately, you are not hurt."

The lady smiled bitterly and said, "How can I blame you! You have been with me for so many years, and we are not much different in age. It's okay, don't worry about it, and go!"

Zhou Xinyue was lying down, her head hurting, but she was thinking wildly, could it be that the mistress had seen through it? The look she gave me just now seemed to see through me, fortunately I managed to cope with it, alas, I don't know what kind of person this Goudan was before, I don't know what will happen next, I don't know if this master and those people can be dealt with, how should I end it then? Thinking of this, Zhou Xinyue felt annoyed, but Zhou Xinyue also comforted herself in her heart: Alas, let's wait and see, I will deal with it as it comes, anyway, my head is injured, it's reasonable to pretend to have amnesia, I don't want to think about it, I should heal the injury quickly, but this medicine is good, my head doesn't hurt as much as that day.

Zhou Xinyue closed her eyes and continued to rest, trying not to let her mind wander.

On this day, there were a few people chattering in the room as if they were discussing something. Their voices were not loud, but they could be heard faintly.

Zhou Xinyue slowly opened her eyes and turned over. There were several people sitting in the room. Zhou Xinyue was startled and her eyes widened.

Luckily, Erdan was beside me and said with a smile, "Are you awake? Come on, drink the medicine."

After saying that, Erdan helped Zhou Xinyue sit down as usual and put a soft cushion behind her back. He wanted to feed her mouthful by mouthful, but Zhou Xinyue shook her head to indicate that she should drink it herself. Then, Zhou Xinyue drank it all in one mouthful.

Erdan hurriedly and considerately wiped her clean with a handkerchief. Erdan looked at Zhou Xinyue meaningfully, his eyes full of worry and fear.

Erdan stood up, lowered his head slightly, bent his legs, placed his left hand on his left chest, covered his right hand with his right hand, bowed respectfully, and then walked out with the medicine bowl.

Zhou Xinyue looked at Erdan, lowered his head slightly, slowly took three steps back, and turned to walk out.

After Erdan left the room, there was a little boy with a round face and rosy cheeks sticking out half of his head from the door. He was standing on tiptoe and quietly looking at Zhou Xinyue.

Those little eyes are the same as Erdan's, small but revealing childishness and cleverness, which is very lovable. His lips are slightly thick and big, and he looks honest and very funny.

When Zhou Xinyue saw him, she immediately guessed that the round-faced boy was Sandan.

After leaving the room, Erdan pulled Sandan several times and finally pulled him away. Sandan's eyes were full of worry and heartache.

Zhou Xinyue felt a warm feeling in her heart. The boy was very likable. She liked him even from a distance.
