Chapter 352: Rightfully Done
This is too unthinkable to treat people as human beings. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Thinking of Mrs. Qian's naturalness, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became.
Fennel's complexion is also not very good-looking.
She has reached the age of discussing relatives, and now she is following the elders of Qin Lao Niang, Luo, and Yao to learn about human affairs.
Although she has been learning imperceptibly before, it is not until these days that the elders have begun to break up and crumple all kinds of major and minor things that happen in the family little by little, and explain and analyze them to her.
Fennel really understood that the people she thought she had understood before, in fact, she had been only half-aware of them because of her age and experience.
It's like this incident that happened at home today.
In addition to teaching her how to deal with people like Mrs. Qian who were unclear and unscrupulous, Yao, who was present at the scene, also spread out and told her a lot of very cruel but very realistic feelings about the world.
For example, a woman has no private property.
Even if Mrs. Qian's handkerchief can really give up a piece of the family property at that time, it will only be possible for the girl she adopts to keep it......
And although Lilac and Xiangye were also angry, they were angry that Mrs. Qian had hit their family and their children with the abacus. In fact, I was angry and didn't grasp the point.
But after thinking about it, the more Lilac thought about it, the more she couldn't understand, and gradually became suspicious, so she asked Fennel: "Second sister, does the meaning of Mrs. Qian's handkerchief with her mean that when the adopted daughter grows up, she will serve her with food, clothing, daily life, and serve her?" ”
looked at the fennel chin head, and immediately added: "Then don't you let the adopted daughter marry?" Serve her all your life until she returns to the West? ”
Fennel let out a long sigh and nodded, "If we understand correctly, that's what they should have planned." ”
Lilac hung her face with a "swish", and couldn't help but say indignantly: "This is called even the adopted daughter, what is the difference between this and finding a maid!" ”
said and said: "It's still a maid who doesn't have to pay wages!" ”
Sichuan pepper was stunned when he listened.
But I heard someone next to me murmuring: "Actually, it's just to be called by the maid." ”
Pepper followed the voice and looked over.
It was the eldest of the three little sisters adopted by the head of the family who spoke, and her name was Ya'er. If she remembered correctly, she would have been the same year as Lilac, at the age of twelve.
When the old year first came, she couldn't say a word for a day, she never lowered her head, her little head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and the pepper sisters didn't even see what she looked like for half a month.
The name Ya'er was not blurted out by her by accident until the spring season of flowers and trees after the year, saying that her mother had called her like this.
As the weather warmed up day by day, they slowly adapted to the family life of the Qin family, and the little boys and girls who were like quails with their hands and feet slowly opened their hearts and let go of their courage.
Just like Ya'er, now she not only dares to chat with her sisters, but also dares to talk to her elders.
Compared with the cowardice when he first came, as if he had changed people, he gradually had his own ideas when he spoke and did things.
And Lilac heard Ya'er's echo, so she nodded heavily at her: "Yes! ”
The bud nodded.
Huajiao was a little curious, so she asked Ya'er: "Sister Ya'er, have you ever heard of such a thing?" ”
When Ya'er heard Hua Jiao's question, she hesitated for a moment before she nodded affirmatively and said, "I've heard of such a thing before." After thinking about it, he told the pepper sisters: "Some old ladies are old, and they like to take a daughter by their side, take care of food and clothing and serve her." said that she was an adopted daughter, but in fact she was a maid, because many of them were bought slaves. It's just that some will say yes when they buy it, and some will write something even and press a handprint. As long as they serve well, they will be disqualified. So, it's quite a lot of people's willingness. ”
It's just that Ya'er doesn't want to talk to their sisters that they heard that the people who generally adopt daughters to take care of their lives are widowed old ladies. If it is an old man, he usually takes a concubine directly.
But when Lilac heard this, she still blew up her hair directly: "Then what's the matter with her coming to our house to ask for a doll?" ”
The little head of the bay leaf shook like a rattle.
Sichuan pepper and fennel are also incomprehensible.
It's just that Hua Jiao suddenly realized that there may not be a few such cases.
Ya'er understood a little, thought about it, and said: "I heard the eldest aunt say that Mrs. Qian kept saying that she wanted to find a clean child, I'm afraid that the child who is a slave is not clean!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the peppercorns and fennel both sank their faces, and the cloves jumped three feet high: "It's not clean!" I think they're not clean! That heart is so dark, and I hate others! He also said: "In order to enjoy the happiness of the rest of my life, I will let other people's girls be lonely for half a lifetime, and I don't know where to live when I am old!" ”
As he spoke, he asked Fennel: "Second sister, doesn't she have children herself?" Or children are unfilial! ”
"Of course there are children." Only Fennel really couldn't understand the motives of these people, so she said: "It doesn't have to be that the children are unfilial, maybe it's to reduce the burden of the children!" ”
Lilac was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and muttered: "I seem to have heard Master Chen say that from here to the south, people there like to adopt moths." When the family fights or goes to sea for adventure, those moths will be thrown out to take the lead. As for the son, you can sit back and enjoy the ......"
Not to mention fennel and bay leaves, even Lilac herself is a little stunned, which is really subversive of their worldview.
It's the first time she's heard something like this, but she can't help but wonder if she would be as willing as Ya'er said if she got to that point.
Just as Fang Cai Lilac blurted out "a maid who doesn't have to pay for her work", the purpose of adopting a daughter to serve in the second half of her life is so strong that she does not need to be paid month by month, which in Hua Jiao's view, may be regarded as an exploitation of the surplus labor of the adopted party.
But it may be a mutually beneficial deal.
While ensuring that the adoptive party can spend their old age smoothly and peacefully, it also ensures that the adoptee can maintain their living needs, and more importantly, it can improve the status of the adoptive party and make it good to leave the country.
If she really came this far, perhaps, she would be willing!
It's just that Hua Jiao can't help but think again, if she really goes to which step, maybe, there will be no room for her to choose!
