Quick Wear: I and the Villain Beat the Scum Together

Chapter 157 My Welfare Mission 5

After a month of treatment, Gu Qinghan's injuries had almost healed, and he was able to walk again. However, it would take some time for the poison to be completely eliminated. So, Gu Qinghan had no choice but to stay and temporarily reside at the Si family home.

On this day, Si Ke was drying medicinal herbs in the yard, but the second and third brothers came back with bruised faces and noses, supporting each other.

When Si Ke saw this, she stepped forward and stopped the two guys who were deliberately avoiding her and trying to sneak back to their room.

"What happened? Who hit you?" Si Ke frowned and stared at the two of them.

The second brother lowered his head, and the third brother didn't say anything either.

Seeing that both of them were silent, Si Ke laughed angrily. "You're not going to say anything, are you? Fine! You're capable. Then from now on, both of you don't talk in front of me."

After saying that, Si Ke ignored the two of them and turned back to sorting the herbs. As for the medicine for injuries, she would give it to them whenever they were willing to ask.

Gu Qinghan, who had been sitting on a small stool nearby, watched the entire scene unfold. He patiently approached the two boys, wanting to ask what was wrong. However, as soon as he moved, they gave him an unfriendly look. It seemed as if they were spitting fire at him.

Who is he recruiting?

So, finding an opportunity when Si Ke was not around, Gu Qinghan took the two boys aside and started to ask them some questions.

However, he didn't expect that the first thing the second brother said was, "When are you leaving?"

Weren't these two guys quite kind to him before? Why are they chasing him away now?

"My injury hasn't healed yet!"

"If you're not well, you can go home and recuperate! Why are you staying at my house?" This time it was the third brother who spoke, and his words were much more blunt.

Gu Qinghan rubbed his nose. He really didn't know how he had offended these two. So he asked cautiously, "Um, did I do something wrong?"

"Do you know that everyone in the village is saying that my sister picked up a man and kept him at home, saying that she has no shame. They also say that my sister is dirty... Wuuuuu... It's all because of you... It's all because of you... Wuuuuu..."

The third brother burst into tears when he finished speaking. Although he didn't understand the meaning of some of the words, he knew that they were insults to his sister.

Gu Qinghan froze. He hadn't thought of this. Wasn't this simply tarnishing the girl's reputation for no reason? Even if they had nothing, even if they had a large family besides them, they couldn't withstand these people's dirty talk!

However, they were all lost in their own thoughts, and before they could come to their senses, Si Ke walked out from the other side.

Seeing her approach, everyone was stunned.

"I remember you were learning calligraphy from Master Gu these past few days, didn't Master Gu teach you the saying 'the innocent are innocent'? There's another saying I'll pass on to you today: people live for themselves. We're not money, so we can't please everyone. Just be yourself. If you care too much about what others think, you'll become less and less like yourself, and it'll be very tiring."

Si Ke reached out, rubbed Xiao San's head, and gave him a lecture. Then he took out a porcelain bottle and said, "Let's go back to the yard. Sister will apply medicine for you."

The two of them followed Si Ke obediently, but Gu Qinghan stared at the pretty figure with burning eyes.

From the very beginning, he felt that she was very special, not like an ordinary village girl. Now, he only felt that she was even more special.

"Hiss... Sister, be gentle!" The wound on the third brother's face immediately felt a sharp pain when it touched the medicine, and the tears that had just been stopped were about to fall again.

"Now that you feel the pain, let's see if you dare to fight with others in the future."

"If Fatty Li dares to say that to you again, I will fight with him!" This time it was the second brother who spoke. He seemed the most steady person on weekdays, but when it came to his sister's affairs, it was like touching his reverse scale, and he would really jump out of control.

"So, you are still stupid. They are jealous that our family is richer than them. They have been jealous for a long time and can't find an outlet, so they came up with this. They just want them to have a hard time and don't want our family to have a good life." Si Ke poked the second child's forehead with amusement. Although he was only twelve years old, he was not much shorter than her.

"Sister, don't you mind what those people say about you?" The second brother frowned, looking puzzled.

"It's not that I don't mind, it's just that I don't care. They're not people I care about, so why should I care about what they say?"

The second child shook his head, not understanding at all. The third child was even more confused by Si Ke.

Seeing that both of them were looking at her in confusion, Si Ke explained again, "Let me put it this way. Fatty Li had a fight with you today. After the fight, you will be angry, but you won't take it too seriously. But if one day, your parents or I scold you or beat you for something, you will remember it for the rest of your life. Do you know why? Because we are your family, the people you care about. So there is a saying that goes, the one who can hurt you is always the one closest to you, that's what it means."

The second child understood, but the third child, still younger, didn't get it. But it doesn't matter, he'll understand when he's older.

The one who can hurt you is always the one closest to you!

Regardless of whether they understood it or not, Gu Qinghan, who had been silent all this time, clenched his fists. No one understood this better than him.

"Then sister, are you going to let them keep talking nonsense like this? How about you take us with you next time and we'll go beat them up again. I don't believe they dare to talk nonsense again?" The second brother couldn't help but think of the previous battle between Si Ke and the young master of the Dong family, and couldn't help but feel eager to try.

"This method is not good. If you hit them, they will really think that you have hit their sore spot. Otherwise... I might as well find someone to marry! That way, no one will gossip about us in the future." Si Ke wanted to tease the two of them and said with a smile.

"Get married? Sister wants to marry...who?" The second brother became anxious when he heard this and asked hurriedly.

"Young Master Han, what do you think?" Si Ke looked like he was asking for advice.

"Who is Young Master Han?" The third brother was confused.

"Sister, are you talking about the son of Manager Han, the shop owner you delivered medicine to? No, that guy is not a good person. I don't like the way he looks at you every time you go to deliver medicine." The second brother had gone to deliver medicine with Sike, so he naturally knew.

"What about Xu Xiucai from the next village?"

"That's no use. He just reads some crappy books and acts like he's the top scorer in the imperial examination. If my sister were to marry him, she'd be humiliated."

“But these are the only ones I know!”

"Anyway, I just feel that none of these ugly guys are worthy of my sister."

"Wow, after studying for a few days, you can even use idioms..."

Si Ke was about to tease him, but a voice suddenly came from behind him: "What about me?"
