CHAPTER 22

SHEN JIN : " OF COURSE YOU  ARE NOT LIKE XIUYUAN ! YOU INTERFERED WITH XIUYUAN ARBITRARILY , MADE RUONAN SAY HARSH WORDS TO XIUYUAN AND PUSH HIM AWAY!  YOU DIDN'T SEE HOW SUFFERING XIUYUAN WAS TODAY! WHY DID YOU SEPARATE THEM IF YOU REALLY THINK OF HIM? "

CHU XIUMING : " I'VE MADE UP MY MIND , DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. "

SHEN JIN: " I'VE MADE UP MY MIND TOO , DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.  HUMPH!"

WITH SAYING THAT SHE GOES TO HER ROOM.  IN HER BEDROOM SHE TALKS TO HERSELF. 

SHEN JIN: " I'VE CONFIRMED XIUYUAN'S AFFECTION , BUT I STILL DON'T KNOW RUONAN'S THOUGTHS. XIUYUAN TAKE ME AS HIS SISTER IN LAW. AND HE DOESN'T HAVE PARENTS. WHY DON'T I PROPOSE THE MARRAIGE FOR HIM? I'LL GO TOMORROW , GOOD IDEA! GOOD NIGHT. "

CHU XIUMING : "[HIMSELF] I SHOULDN'T GIVE IN ON XIUYUAN'S MATTER , I MUST THINK FOR THE BIG PICTURE ."

THE NEXT DAY SHE INVITES RUONAN AND TALKS ABOUT RUONAN'S MARRAIGE.

SHEN JIN : " RUONAN , HAVE A SEAT , HERE. "

RUONAN: " AH?  LORD JIN  YOU ARE HAVING SO MANY ISSUES AROUND HERE . JUST SPLIT IT OUT ,  WHAT'S IT THIS TIME? I'M QUITE BUSY IN MY STORE. "

SHEN JIN : " THEN I'L BE FRANK , I'M PROPOSING A  MARRAIGE OFFICIALY  ON BEHALF OF MY BROTHER IN LAW TODAY.  "

RUONAN : " BROTHER IN LAW ? WHO IS THAT? "

SHEN JIN : " CHU XIUYUAN ."

RUONAN : " BUT DIDN'T YOUR GENERAL SAY THAT CHU XIUYUAN IS HIS LIUTENANT ? "

SHEN JIN : " MAYBE HE DIDN'T MAKE IT CLEAR . ANYWAY , I.M PROPOSING FOR XIUYUAN . MY HUSBAND AND I  WILL TREAT YOU WELL IF YOU MARRY HIM. "

RUONAN : " BUT YOUR HUSBAND DID TELL ME TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM. "

SHEN JIN : " THAT'S A MISTAKE.  PLEASE DON'T MIND IT. I'VE KNOWN XIUYUAN FOR A WHILE . HE IS HONEST ,  SINCERE AND KIND.  YOU WILL BE HAPPY IF YOU MARRY HIM. I JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT DO YOU REALLY DON'T LIKE XIUYUAN AT ALL?  IF YOU CAN'T DECIDE IT NOW , PLEASE GIVE HIM MORE TIME.  YOU WILL LIKE HIM. IF YOU SPEND MORE TIME WITH HIM. "

RUONAN : " I MAY BE A  WOMAN , BUT MY BURDEN IS NO LESS THAN A MAN ."

SHEN JIN : " YOU ARE NOT MARRIED ,   YOUR FAMILY IS NOT HERE ,  WHY DO YOU HAVE HEAVY BURDENS? "

RUONAN : " HAVEN'T YOU ALWAYS BEEN CURIOUS ABOUT WHY MY STORE CAM HAVE  A 20%  DISCOUNT  SO LONG? "

SHEN JIN: " SURELY I AM. ! "

RUONAN : " DARE YOU GO TO A PLACE WITH ME? "

SHEN JIN: " SURE! "

KIDS : " SISTER RUONAN . HOW ARE YOU ?"

RUONAN : "[TO THE VILLAGERS]  DID THE TONICS I GAVE YOU WORK? "

OLD WOMAN : " I'M PRETTY GOOD ,  YOU SHOULD  SAVE YOUR MONEY. "

RUONAN : " I'M  FINE. JUST TAKE IT. NOT A BIG DEAL ."

YOUNG  WOMAN : " THANK YOU SO MUCH. LADY , PLEASE DON'T MIND . WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH BROTHER NAN.  YOU DON'T KNOW IT I  WAS PREGNANT  WHEN MY MAN FELL DOWN FROM A CLIFF AND DIED ON A TRIP. I'D BE DEAD TOO. WERE IT NOT FOR RUONAN TO TAKE US IN . WE SHOULD ALSO RETURN HER KINDNESS .  EVEN TO BE SLAVES IN THE AFTERLIFE ! BROTHER NAN HAS BEEN SO KIND TO US.  "

RUONAN : " THAT'S ALL THE PAST , DON'T MENTION IT . "

YOUNG WOMAN : " WE CAN'T FORGET ."

RUONAN : " BY THE WAY ,  THIS IS THE MONEY FOR REPAIRING YOUR HOUSES. TAKE IT. "
