Chapter 172: Recognition (2)
Li Ziyu thought that her aunt's journey was not easy, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
I didn't register in the yamen at that time, and my aunt and cousin Xiaoou were still good citizens, otherwise I really wouldn't forgive myself.
In the future, let yourself take care of your aunt and cousin. In the future, I must let my aunt and cousin live a good life, and let the nightmare of the past pass. To live, you have to look forward, and there is nothing that you can't overcome.
Qiu Yue wanted to go to the East House to see the little masters, but she was afraid that she couldn't help but show her clues. So she resisted her impulse, unloaded the cabbage and turnips, and left.
Li Ziyu sent Qiuyue out and deliberately said to her on the hillside: "Aunt Chai, after you go back, you will have to work hard, and my family still needs a lot of vegetables." It's best to send a car every day, as long as the vegetables are recycled in my family. You can rest assured that the price will definitely give you a fair price. ”
"The eldest niece is benevolence, I remember. I'm not here today, I'll send another car tomorrow. Qiu Yue also replied loudly, and left after finishing the carriage.
The people in the village who were temporarily resting at the bottom of the slope heard it clearly, and no one was suspicious, and some even asked about the price of the vegetables.
Li Ziyu answered them with a smile and turned back.
She first went to the west room to see her aunt, and saw that she seemed to have unloaded a thousand pounds of burden, and lay on the kang and fell asleep.
Xiao Ou, who was guarding his mother's relatives next to him, saw Li Ziyu come in, and hurriedly called "Miss" habitually.
Li Ziyu stepped forward and touched Ouyang Luo's forehead, and only relieved when she found that her body temperature was normal. Only then did she turn to look at Xiao Ou and whispered, "Sister Xiao Ou." You are my cousin, don't call me Miss in the future, and don't call my younger brothers and sisters Miss Young Master. Although it is not yet possible to let them know the truth. But I will say that you are my mother's cousin, what should you call in terms of generation. ”
"But" Xiao Ou wanted to say and stopped, wanting to say something but embarrassed to say it.
Li Ziyu couldn't help but smile, knowing what she was worried about.
The hierarchy of the Daye Dynasty is extremely strict, once a slave is sold, unless the master is gracious, or it will be a slave for life.
And at the beginning, both their mother and daughter signed a contract. If there is a file in the county government, even if Li Ziyu returns the deed of sale to them, he will not be able to erase the mark of being a slave in this life.
Li Ziyu turned around and opened the locked wooden box. Took out two deeds of sale from inside, and tore them to shreds in a few clicks. Then he locked the wooden box as if nothing had happened, and the movement was natural and smooth, without a pause.
Xiao Ou looked at Li Ziyu stupidly. Blinked. He blinked again, and then seemed to have just reacted, and asked in disbelief: "Oh oh, cousin, did you tear it just now?"
Li Ziyu looked at Xiao Ou's rare cuteness, and couldn't help but want to tease her: "Cousin! Actually, your deed of sale to me"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ou was so nervous that he couldn't breathe, and his hands subconsciously grasped the hem of his clothes.
"Actually, I didn't plan to file with the yamen in the first place. Other words. Your deed of sale itself is a piece of waste paper. Got it this time, right? Hehe" After Li Ziyu finished speaking, she smiled and picked up the curtain and went out. Leave Xiao Ou alone in the house to digest slowly.
"Ahh I understand! Haha, great! From the West Room came Xiao Ou's excited shouts and faintly suppressed sobs.
Li Ziyu walked slowly towards the outside of the hospital, and her heart was also complicated and inexplicable.
In this hierarchical dynasty, there is a dream of a good citizen for several generations as a slave of slavery. For the sake of this dream, in order for even one member of the family to get rid of the status of slavery, they did not hesitate to sell their conscience to help their masters. In the hope that the master can be extra gracious and remove their slave status.
With the status of good citizens, their personal freedom is free, and their children can participate in the imperial examination and change their courts, just like other good citizens. Even if you can't become a master, you are not a slave who can be beaten and scolded, bought and sold, and even your life will be gone at any time as long as the master says a word.
Li Ziyu does not dare to agree with such a social system. After all, she grew up in a social system where everyone is equal, of course, absolute equality is impossible, but it is much better than here, right? However, she had to blend in with this dynasty and follow the rules here. She didn't dare to challenge something that was ingrained in a dynasty, and she didn't have the ability to do so. Under the condition that survival is not guaranteed, where does she have the capital to challenge the entire social system?
Maybe one day, I can adapt to the environment here. Survival of the fittest, there is nothing better than a human being to adapt to the environment. Human beings are inherently servile and can survive in any condition. No matter how harsh the box is, he will have reason to convince himself to fit into the box and live as well as he can.
When Li Ziyu walked out of the house, she saw that the second car pulling the green bricks had already returned. The people in the village were doing the final palletizing work, and everyone was doing it very seriously.
Li Ziyu looked on the slope and saw that it was about to be finished, so she wanted to go down and make an appointment with the old village chief on the time and number of people to work tomorrow.
As soon as Li Ziyu walked down the hillside, before he reached the old village chief, he saw another carriage on the street in the village, and it was Chai Bin when he looked closely.
Li Ziyu stopped and waited for Chai Bin to arrive. She knew that Chai Bin must have something to do when he came back so late.
Chai Bin greeted the people working in the village with a smile, and his sturdy body and big leopard eyes did not look vicious at all. On the contrary, it gives people a feeling of spring breeze.
The people in the village also responded enthusiastically, obviously having a good impression of Chai Bin. This made Li Ziyu secretly surprised.
In the perception of ordinary people, Chai Bin's image should be domineering and evil. But he has the ability to get along with anyone, and he can't make people disgusted with him. It's a great skill, and not everyone has it.
Li Ziyu now knows why his grandfather sent him to find his father and mother. It's inevitable to be on the go all year round and deal with all kinds of people. To have martial arts and to be exquisite, not everyone can do it, Chai Bin is undoubtedly the best candidate.
After Chai Bin finished greeting the people in the village, he stopped the carriage to the side and wanted Li Ziyu to go.
Li Ziyu glanced around without a trace, and greeted Chai Bin: "Uncle Chai, is there anything wrong with coming so late?" ”
Chai Bin laughed: "Yes, the bluestone slabs, stones and tiles you asked me to inquire about have been settled." No, I'm afraid you're in a hurry, so I'll come over quickly. ”
Li Ziyu also smiled and said, "That's a good feeling, thank you Uncle Chai!" Let's go, let's talk in the house. ”
After speaking, he led Chai Bin to the slope, and Chai Bin followed behind Li Ziyu like a door god.
