Although Mei Yichen was indifferent just now, when he heard Chen Suqing say this, he was still a little unable to hang up, and said a little sneeringly: "I'll ask people to help you fetch water." โ
Chen Suqing glanced back at him and said, "No need, I'll just come by myself." โ
Mei Yichen didn't seem to be very angry when she heard her tone, and she didn't know what she was awkward, so she stood in place, not knowing what to say.
Chen Suqing glanced back at him and said, "Although I don't pay much attention when I go out, the difference between men and women is inconvenient after all. How can this water be so good for them to beat?"
Although Chen Suqing was talking about his own business, there were some things in his words that warned Mei Yichen and the boss's wife. Listening to the strings, Mei Yichen is also a smart person, how can she not know the meaning of her words, and Ah Fu is here, so it is not good to say anything.
When the proprietress heard this, she smiled and said, "It's my negligence, and the two girls are indeed a little inconvenient here." As he spoke, he glanced at Mei Yichen again and said, "That's it, I have a little girl at home, and I asked her to serve the two girls for a few days." โ
Chen Suqing naturally refused, but the proprietress was full of fists and said, "No matter what, first ask her to boil water for the girl." As he spoke, he said hello to Mei Yichen and went downstairs.
Chen Suqing looked at her figure in a hurry, and didn't move again, just glanced back at Mei Yichen again, and then sighed.
Chen Suqing glanced at Ah Fu again and said to her, "Let's go to your room first and help you pour the dirty water." โ
Ah Fu stood between the two, and he was also embarrassed, so he responded and entered the room with Chen Suqing.
Entering the room, Chen Suqing said with some disgust while packing up her things: "That boss lady is not a good person at first glance, I don't know what to think." โ
Chen Suqing is not a person who likes to complain, and there is a reason for saying this at this time, because she has been watching Ah Fu silent, afraid that she has something on her mind, and now she takes the initiative to say it, but she can also relieve the embarrassment.
But Ah Fu didn't answer her words, just picked up the bucket and smiled at Chen Suqing.
Chen Suqing saw that she didn't say anything, and she didn't know if she really didn't care, or if she was embarrassed to express it, just when she was still speculating about Ah Fu's thoughts in her heart, there was a sudden knock on the door.
In fact, the door was not closed, but it was slightly hidden, Ah Fu heard the sound, so he put down the bucket in his hand and stepped forward to open the door, Chen Suqing heard the sound, and also walked over, and said in the back: "Who is it?"
The two opened the door and saw a little girl outside, carrying a bucket of water in her hand, looking inside a little timidly.
When Chen Suqing saw her, she knew that she was the maid that the proprietress said, so she said, "You are here to deliver water?"
The girl nodded, and then asked, "Is the water here?"
Chen Suqing smiled: "You can let this go, I'll carry it myself for a while." โ
When the little girl heard this, she knew that this was not her guest room, so she hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Which room do you live in?" โ
Chen Suqing nodded, and said to Ah Fu: "Then I'll go back first, and when I'm done, I'll pour water together." โ
Ah Fu nodded at her, glanced at the little girl again, bit her lip, and didn't say anything.
Chen Suqing and the girl came out of the room, she saw that the little girl was thin, so she reached out to help her carry water, but the girl hurriedly waved her hand and refused.
Chen Suqing looked at the little girl sideways, and saw that she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, her hair was clutched, and she couldn't tell if she had a tie, and she looked younger than Chen Subing.
Because the weather was cold and they were afraid of the cold water, they all carried a large bucket of water up at a time, but the girl was thin, but she was carrying a large bucket of water, and her body was slightly tilted to the side, which made Chen Suqing look at it, and she felt a little unbearable.
Fortunately, Chen Suqing's guest room was not far from Ah Fu's, and seeing that he was about to arrive at the door, Chen Suqing asked in order to relieve the embarrassment, "What is your name?"
The little girl lowered her head and said shyly, "My name is Ah Zhen." โ
Chen Suqing opened the door, pushed the door in with him, and said with a smile: "How old are you this year?"
Ah Zhen carried a bucket into the house with her, and replied, "It's sixteen this year." โ
Chen Suqing didn't expect her to be about the same age as herself, but she looked much thinner, but she didn't have much to comment on.
Ah Zhen entered the house, first helped Chen Suqing tidy up the bathing utensils, then carried the bucket to the bath bucket, rolled up her sleeves and began to pour water into it.
Chen Suqing was picking up her clothes, turned her head, and glanced at Ah Zhen. Suddenly, I saw that there were several deep blood marks on her hands with her sleeves rolled up.
Chen Suqing was also a little stunned, and she didn't know how to open her mouth if she wanted to ask, but Ah Zhen noticed Chen Suqing's gaze, hurriedly put down her sleeves, picked up the empty bucket and said, "This bucket of water shouldn't be enough, I'll go out first, and then go downstairs to fetch a bucket of water." โ
Before Chen Suqing could speak, he had already hurriedly taken the door and went out.
Chen Suqing saw her go out, but she was still thinking about the injury on Ah Zhen's hand, she couldn't think of such a thin and small, even some poor little girl, how could there be such a hideous wound on her hand, could she have been beaten? Who was beaten?
Just as Chen Suqing was thinking about these things, the door suddenly opened, and Ah Zhen walked in from outside, carrying a bucket of hot water in the water. Chen Suqing took the bucket and asked directly, "What's the matter with the injury on your hand?"
When Ah Zhen heard this, her eyes were a little flustered, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said nothing.
Chen Suqing said again: "Did you be beaten?"
When Ah Zhen heard this, her body trembled, and she said again and again: "No, no, I accidentally made it myself." โ
Chen Suqing looked at her expression and knew that she was being right, but when she saw Ah Zhen like this, she didn't dare to say it if she asked again. If you don't do it well, it will scare her, so she waved at her and said, "Okay, I don't have anything to do, or you can go out." โ
When Ah Zhen heard him say this, she breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and ran away with the bucket.
Chen Suqing sighed, although he was thinking about this in his heart, but looking at a basin of water, he could only focus on what was in front of him. So I took a simple bath with hot water first.
After bathing, she changed into a lotus dress, which she has been a little brighter in color for a few months, just because it is about to be the New Year, it is too plain and not good-looking, so she specially chose this one.
She gathered her hair, and then carried the dirty water to Ah Fu's room, and told her to go down with her. Ah Fu greeted her and said, Ah Zhen had already helped her pour it just now.
So the two of them carried the water in Chen Suqing's hands downstairs, and as soon as they arrived in the backyard, they heard low crying.
