Chapter 59: Settle down
Chapter 59 Settled
"Ah Shu, it's me, Brother Cao, are you better?"
Cao Zixin's voice was outside the door, Yu Shu heard it, and let go of the worry in her heart, it seems that Cao Zixin does not blame her for hiding her daughter's body.
It's just that she was picked up from the side of the road by someone last night, and now she will inevitably feel uncomfortable when she looks at him again, but fortunately he didn't come in when he stood at the door, Yu Shu secretly cleared his throat before replying:
"Much better, Brother Cao, thank you for bringing me back last night and asking for a doctor for me."
"Don't be polite to me, I told you you can come to me if you have something." Cao Zixin stood by the door with his back hand, and he didn't look inward, which was different from last night's special situation.
Yu Shu didn't know how to answer now, if she usually got along with Cao Zixin, she would have to make a joke according to his words, but now she didn't have that mood to be funny, she just thought about what she should do next.
The Ji family can't go back, Yu Xiaoxiu can't see it, Master Qingzheng doesn't know her situation now, she doesn't have a copper on her, if she doesn't find a place to spend the night first, I'm afraid she will have to sleep under the bridge like yesterday, and partner with beggars.
I don't know if Cao Zixin is willing to take her in for a few days, if it is inconvenient for him to take her in, then she will have to go to Meilin in the east of the city to join Jingchen Daxia, since that time she changed him for money so that he can eat, and every once in a while she will go to Meilin to find him to mingle, although Jingchen's attitude towards her is lukewarm, but probably does not mind caring about her a few meals.
As for Master Qing Zheng, he himself is still eating and drinking in the Ji family, so don't count on him.
Cao Zixin waited for a while and didn't hear any movement in the house, leaned towards the door, and called out loudly:
"Ah Shu?"
There was a quick response in the house: "Brother Cao, can I discuss something with you?" ”
"You say."
"I" Yu Shu said cheekily: "I won't tell you, I was kicked out of my family yesterday, you must also know that I was beaten, I can't go back home, and there is no one else to take refuge into, do you see if you can take me in for a few days and let me live here for a while." ”
There was silence outside the door for a while, Yu Shu thought he was embarrassed, and hurriedly added:
"I don't live with you for nothing, I can work, I can do the cleaning of the house, cooking, washing clothes, I can also help you in the work in the shop, I don't want you to work, as long as you give me a place to live and let me have a meal."
Her low-voiced request did not look like she was normal, Cao Zixin listened to it quite unpleasantly, held the door frame with one hand, and asked softly:
"Ah Shu, it's inconvenient for you to tell me, what happened to your family, why will you be kicked out?"
Yu Shu thought about it, since he asked for people, it was not good to lie anymore, so he told the truth:
"I've been hiding it from you before, I'm really embarrassed, in fact, my mother is a concubine of the third master of the Yi Xueji family in the city, and I also have a younger brother, the two of us are not from the third master, we remarried with my mother, and life has been difficult at home, I, I secretly fished in the yard of our old lady yesterday, and I was caught in the morning, and the house was stolen by thieves the night before, and no one was caught, and the Ji family just happened to be angry and had nowhere to sow, so they punished me heavily, beat me with a whip, and drove me away."
Speaking of the worst of the worst, Yu Shu was a little gloomy, and now that she was so embarrassed, she really needed deep reflection in this matter.
After coming to this ancient world, she lived too freely, relying on the fact that she was an adult inside, she underestimated the system of this ancient society, and never seriously studied the habits of the people here, blindly following her own likes and dislikes, but ignoring that this is a place that is very different from the world world where she has lived for more than 20 years, and she needs to adapt to the environment, not let the environment adapt to her.
Before there is no corresponding ability, being strong will only make her kowtow and break the blood. Since she lives in this place now, she has to abide by the rules here.
The last time the twenty rattan strokes didn't wake her up, this time she was whipped with a whip, but the lesson of living blood, no matter how obsessed she was, and she walked forward with her head bored, then she really lived half her life in vain.
Yu Shu reflected while talking, Cao Zixin listened at the door, and had another thought, and heard Yu Shu tell him calmly, she was caught for stealing fish and was beaten by the Ji family, although she felt that her own behavior was also immoral, but more complained about the Ji family's excess, and he had also heard of the precious name of the Babao fragrant carp, but no matter how wrong this little girl was, before the Ji family drove people away, they insisted on beating them up, and taking a little girl out of anger was that the Ji family was not kind.
If he hadn't met Yu Shu last night and asked her to stay in the heavy rain with her injuries on her back for a night, whether she would have died now or not is another matter.
"Ah Shu, you are a girl, it is not appropriate to live with me, I will discuss with Sister Zhao and let you live with her first, do you think this is okay?"
"Okay, what's not going to work."
The sound of the answer came from behind, Cao Zixin turned his head, and saw Zhao Hui coming in with a soup bowl and said to him:
"You go to the kitchen and look at the hot water, I'll talk to her."
Seeing that she agreed first, Cao Zixin was of course a hundred good, and let her go into the house.
Yu Shu heard the words outside, he never thought that it would be so easy to find a place, and when he saw Zhao Hui coming in, he said, "Aunt Zhao, you-"
Zhao Hui sat down on the edge of the bed, the wonton noodles in the bowl were smoking, and she said to Yu Shu while stirring the spoon:
"I'm alone, you can rest assured that you can stay with me for as long as you want, you can heal your injuries first, and then say anything else, come, eat while it's hot."
The fragrant wonton was fed to his mouth, his eyes were hot, Yu Shu couldn't adapt to the kindness of this elder, his throat rolled, and then he whispered:
"Xie Lu, Xie Zhao."
That morning, Yu Shu moved to Zhao Hui's house, the small courtyard was not as big as Cao Zixin's, only one room, one stove room, and a small vegetable field in the yard, planted with some seasoned coriander and peppercorns, and raised a nest of chickens.
Cao Zixin carried the bamboo couch in his study to Zhao Hui's house and put it in the bedroom, Zhao Hui insisted that Yu Shu sleep in her bed, made a layer of mattress by himself, and slept on the bamboo couch instead.
Yu Shu's fever subsided, and she didn't need someone to take care of her in front of the bed, Zhao Hui changed the medicine on her back again, and she nested on the bamboo couch to make up for sleep, and Cao Zixin also went back to rest.
Cao Zixin and Zhao Hui didn't do business today, they stayed at home, and at night, Yu Shu woke up, Zhao Hui actually killed a chicken, stewed chicken soup for her to replenish her body, Yu Shu thought that he and her were only two sides of the relationship, and they were treated so favorably, although they were ashamed to be treated like this, but they didn't know how to refuse, only wrote down this affection, and kept it for later repayment.
Just like that, a day passed, and the next day, the whiplash wound on Yu Shu's back began to scab, and the wound medicine prescribed by Lang Zhong was very effective, but Zhao Hui was worried that Yu Shu's back would be scarred after the injury.
Zhao Hui also heard about Yu Shu's matter, she thought the same as Cao Zixin, thinking that the Ji family was too ruthless, Yu Shu, an unmarried girl, suffered this flesh wound, leaving a scar on her back.
Zhao Hui was worried, so she got up early to change her medicine, put on her clothes, and comforted Yu Shu: "When the scab is removed, I will find some old honey for you to smear, that can remove scars, and I am not afraid of leaving marks." ”
Yu Shu didn't worry too much about such a "trivial matter" as a scar on his body, slowly put on his clothes, turned his head and said to Zhao Hui:
"Aunt Hui, I'm much more profitable today, you don't have to accompany me at home, go out to do business."
Zhao Hui chatted with Yu Shu for a while last night, disgusted that "Aunt Zhao" was not kind enough, it just so happened that she was a woman who lived alone, and there was no man at home, so she asked Yu Shu to change her mouth and called her Aunt Hui.
Zhao Hui saw that Yu Shu's complexion was fine, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll clean up and get out." ”
Yesterday the door was closed for a day, Cao Zixin also went out to open a shop today, he came once in the morning, sent half a catty of river cakes, and said a few words to Yu Shu at the door, and left.
As soon as Zhao Hui left, Yu Shu didn't nest on the bed, got out of bed with her clothes on, walked outside slowly, and walked around the yard for a while, a hen with a few chickens followed behind her, clucking, but she was not afraid of life.
Breathing outside, Yu Shu's boredom disappeared a lot, and when he returned to the house, he was just about to sit on the bed, when he heard the sound of the door outside, and vaguely heard Cao Zixin's voice, so he went out to open the door.
As soon as the bolt was pulled, she was pushed open from the outside, she hid two steps back, did not stand firmly, and was hugged head-on, she inhaled with back pain, and before she could push the person away, she listened to the thing in her arms crying in her throat:
"Sister, woo woo, sister"
This cry sounded sneering, Yu Shu felt a little in his heart, and the slap that was about to slap Yu Xiaoxiu's head fell on his back, and he also hugged him, his eyes softened, and he scolded in a low voice:
"Cry a fart, hurry up and smack me, I'm not dead yet."
"Woo woo"
When she scolded, Yu Xiaoxiu cried even more, and with a chuckle on the other side, Yu Shu raised his head and saw Cao Zixin looking at her with a smile, his eyes were too gentle, and for some reason she was a little embarrassed.
So he slapped Yu Xiaoxiu on the head, and said angrily: "Okay, hurry up and let go of me, I hurt to death when I caught it." ”
Yu Xiaoxiu finally stopped the magic sound piercing her ears and let Yu Shu go, but she still grabbed her arm, with two bubbles of tears, looking at her.
Cao Zixin said: "I went to open a shop in the morning, and he squatted in front of my store," he looked back and forth at the two sisters and brothers, and the most stubborn fell on Yu Shu's face, his eyes flickered, and he pointed out, "Your brother is very smart, I heard you mention it, and I know that Lu Dao came to me." ”
Yu Shu seemed to hear that behind his words, he was alluding to the fact that she didn't go to him for help as soon as possible after her accident, pursed her lips, and didn't say that she left Ji's house yesterday, and first went to Mianzhai to look for him, but the door was closed and no one was seen.
The three of them went into the hall to talk, and Yu Xiaoxiu cried to her.
But said that Yu Shu was kicked out yesterday, Yu Xiaoxiu came home from school, and watched the family drag his sister away, and he didn't know what happened, he went to Aunt Cui for help, not only scolded, but was also locked in the house by her, and asked Aunt Liu to take it away at night.
The front and back doors of the Ji family have been guarded by the nursing home, Yu Xiaoxiu couldn't find Yu Shu if he wanted to go out, he was dragged back by Aunt Liu for a night, and he couldn't get out of Lu the next day, so he had to sneak out this morning, because Yu Shu told him where he worked, thinking that she had nowhere else to go, so he groped and found Mian Zhai, and squatted there before dawn to wait.
Therefore, Yu Xiaoxiu is still a little smart.
