Chapter 109 Feeling
Yaren and Shutong were quarreling, and when they heard what the young lady said, they were both stunned.
Yaren's eyes lit up, God, I finally got rid of a freeloader.
Shutong: ...Second Lady, this person is so unlucky, how dare you take it?
Aunt Ding, who was called an old woman, was also stunned. She was also a pitiful person. She sympathized with Li Xiuzhu when she saw him, but after hearing Yaren's words, she was an ominous person! She wanted to persuade her granddaughter not to take over, but at this moment, they had to pretend they didn't know each other and couldn't say anything.
Aunt Ding is so anxious!
Su Ruojin is not doing charity. On the one hand, she just 'buys' Ding to attract people's attention. On the other hand, as she grows up, she has more and more opportunities to go out. Sister Mao Ya will follow her all day long. The family is short of someone. If Li Xiuzhu can seize the opportunity, the Su family will keep her, a girl who specializes in cooking. If she can't, she won't be kind and will sell her off.
Shutong complained all the way, saying that she shouldn't have bought the person back. If she was really stupid and couldn't do anything, wouldn't it be a waste of money to open her mouth.
Li Xiuzhu seemed to have not heard Shu Tong's nagging, and was dumbfounded, like a blind fool.
Su Ruojin: ...You can’t really buy a fool and come back! She glanced at her grandma, and Ding secretly said, "I've bought everything, let's take a look first!"
The mule cart stopped and Cheng Yingzhen greeted him at the door.
Su Ruojin jumped out of the mule cart first. Since she was bringing a stranger with her, she quickly went to her mother's ear and said, "I bought a girl. I don't know her roots. It's better for me not to show any weirdness to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Cheng Yingzhen forced the tears that were already in her eyes back, kid, why do you still need to hire an outsider?
"I was not afraid of being noticed by others, so I deliberately bought one old and one young." Su Ruojin lowered her voice and persuaded her mother not to show her emotions.
Ding got off the mule cart and burst into tears when she saw her daughter, but she had been told when she was at the inn that if she wanted to be with her daughter for the rest of her life, she must pretend not to know her in front of any outsiders. In her eyes, she and her daughter were servants and masters, and there couldn't be any difference between them.
So the scene of finally being reunited became silent because of an outsider.
The Su family bought another servant, an old one and a young one. Within two days, all the neighbors knew about it. Yang Siniang even came over to take a look out of curiosity. She shook her head and said, "Ajin, you don't have a good eye for buying people. Look at this old man. At first glance, it looks like the body has been squeezed dry, and then look at this little one, it’s dull and stupid and can’t do much work. Why did you buy something like this?”
Su Ruojin:…
Yang Siniang looked disgusted and pushed her capable mother out, "Next time, let my mother buy it for your family."
"Hehe... Madam is so busy, so... don't bother her."
"What's the trouble? You should learn from my mother, otherwise you won't be able to buy a girl when you grow up and get married, so how can you be the mistress of the house?"
Su Ruojin: ...Yang Birong, Yang Birong, you are only seven years old, are you preparing to be the mistress of the house so early?
In ancient large families, young ladies like Yang Siniang really began to learn how to be the mistress of the family.
After it was revealed that the family had bought a girl, Cheng Yingzhen took her to the side room, closed the door, and cried secretly on the pretext of letting Ding make clothes.
Mao Ya takes the dumb Li Xiuzhu with her. Apart from lighting the fire, this girl seems to be unable to do anything at the moment.
Su Ruojin said to Mao Ya, "Give her some time. If she still only knows how to make fires after the New Year, I will sell her." She didn't avoid saying this. She said it in front of Li Xiuzhu, but she didn't seem to have any reaction. , still dull, sitting behind the stove when cooking, and sitting at the door of the room given to her when she was not cooking, her eyes kept looking forward, as if there was something in front of her, which seemed quite perceptive to most people.
Fortunately, the hut she lives in faces the east and has the sun, and there is a small patio in the east wing connected to the main house. There are some radishes and spinach growing in it, which is full of life, otherwise it would be really eerie.
Mao Ya's experience was similar to that of Li Xiuzhu. Both her father's clansmen were destitute. Li Xiuzhu was at least a little better than her. Her mother had escaped with her, but as for her mother, as soon as her father died, she remarried and threw away her only son. daughter. So regardless of whether Li Xiuzhu listened or not, Mao Ya, who was not good at words, still recounted her experience and finally said, "Being able to come to the Su family is the greatest luck in my life. I hope you feel the same way. "
The Su family not only became her second home to protect her from wind and rain, but also hired a master to learn from her, so that she would have the opportunity to seek revenge from the bandits when she grew up. The second lady Su also taught her to read, write and settle accounts, no matter what the future holds. , she has the ability to survive in this world safely.
It has been ten days since Li Xiuzhu was bought back by the Su family. During these ten days, no one has disliked, beaten or scolded her. She has also been given good clothes and thick clothes, and the food she eats is the same as the owner's table, with meat and vegetables. There are also big white steamed buns.
Visible to the naked eye, the skin covering the bones begins to become shiny and elastic, which means the body has grown flesh.
A girl about her age had been looking after her, and Li Xiuzhu's lifeless fish-like eyes gradually became brighter.
Although the girl said nothing as usual, her eyes seemed to roll, and Mao Ya understood that she had listened to her words.
They are all the same poor people, and anyone who can help is helpful. Mao Ya turned around and saw a quilt drying in the small patio. She took the quilt in and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to prepare ingredients for dinner. You can bask in the sun again until the sun goes down." Come and light the fire."
Li Xiuzhu seemed to have nodded or not, and she didn’t know it herself. But when the sun went down, she got up and went to the east room kitchen, sat behind the stove, and started lighting the fire as usual.
The little lady in a small coat with a smile on her face all day walked into the kitchen hand in hand with her mother and asked cheerfully, "Sister Mao Ya, are everything done?"
Mao Ya nodded, "Just wait for the madam and the second lady to come over and take the spoon."
Su Ruojin glanced into the stove as usual. This time, her eyes met Miss Li's.
At first she was stunned, then she grinned and said, "Sister Xiuzhu's fire is burning well, come on." She also gave her a thumbs up.
Li Xiuzhu blinked, and then slowly turned to the red stove, his mind still blank as usual.
No, it was not blank, at least, she saw that the fire was red.
After ten days of raising meat, not only did the meat grow, but she also reacted. Can this girl be saved?
Su Ruojin smiled at her mother, Cheng Yingzhen laughed, and started cooking and making soup. Her aunt sat with her in the side room every day, and her beauty has improved in the past ten days. Soon, her aunt will have the same body as a normal person, and from then on, the two of them Together forever!
The last ray of sunset on the horizon was swallowed up by the night, and the sky turned completely dark. Shutong drove his master back in a mule cart.
Siblings Su Ruojin and Su Sanlang who were waiting in the corridor flew towards him like swallows, "Dad...Dad..."
“Dad…”
Su Sanlang grabbed his father's arms.
Su Ruojin curled her lips, "I asked you, okay."
“Huh!” Su Sanlang didn’t believe it, he pouted his little mouth arrogantly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Alas, why do people have to grow up? After the Chinese New Year, she will be an eight-year-old little girl, and she will no longer be in her father’s arms. It’s really not good to grow up!
