Lin Zhu invited the woman into the house and asked her in detail about her background. After asking, I realized that this woman's experience is extraordinary, and her background is not small. It turned out that this woman's surname was Chang, and she was sold into an official's mansion when she was young, and she rose all the way from a rough girl to a first-class maid. The maid was about to be married at the age of twenty, so the wife of the house was the master and the son of the steward.

With the passage of time, the steward's son became the steward, and she also became the steward's lady in charge of the affairs of one party. and a wise and sensible son. It can be said that her life is very nourishing.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances, first the husband was demoted because of the matter, lost the position of steward, and then the son was framed and wanted to be sold by the main family, and she was also disliked by the main family, but the plea failed, the family was driven out of the house, the son did not know where to be sold, she and her husband had to return to their hometown, they could go to the juniors who were very respectful to them, but because her husband and wife lost their errands, they were penniless and their attitudes changed greatly, and when she went out to find something to do, they threw out their luggage, and after that, they closed the door.

Although her husband and wife were angry but there was nothing to do, they had to look for something to do in this cold day, unfortunately, she and her husband were lost, and the search was fruitless, she herself somehow arrived outside Lin Zhu's house in Linjia Village, because of the heavy snow, she didn't eat anything for two or three days, so she knocked on the door to ask for help.

After listening to her words, Lin Zhu already had eight points in his heart to keep her. However, there are some things that need to be asked. "Aunt Chang, if you want to find something to do, my family can invite you," said this, Lin Zhu's voice paused, she looked at Chang's reaction, but Chang just nodded yes, and waited for her next step, "However, I think you will definitely have to look for your husband and son, it won't be long, which makes me a little worried." Lin Zhu decided to get straight to the point and put the problem out first. The people who came out of Chang's mansion compound would only see more of the world than her, and they would not fail to understand the meaning of her words.

Chang listened to Lin Zhu's words, and just wanted to say something, Lin Zhu said again: "I can give you two choices, one is to only do it for three or four months, and leave after winter, during this time, I can give you five hundred yuan per month." With your qualifications and a few months of buffer, it will definitely be easy to find a big family to do things. The second is to sign a five-year work contract, within five years, 300 wen per month for the first three months, and then increase it as appropriate every month, with four days off per month, and the salary for the annual festival will be calculated separately. You can think about it. ”

After Lin Zhu's words were finished, he didn't care about her anymore, just let her sit in the hall and think about it, and she went back to the house to see the situation of Fu Dou'er's little bun.

Chang sat there, not moving, his eyes followed Lin Zhu's figure until she entered the east house. Chang thinks that he has seen a few worlds, and he doesn't know how many official wives and ladies he has received, but like a child as old as Lin Zhu, he said such things in an orderly manner, but he has never seen them. She has fallen into such a field, except for her husband and son, she can also make her worry, she doesn't care about anything else, she is ready to sell herself, but she didn't expect Lin Zhu to give her such two choices. I couldn't make up my mind for a while.

It stands to reason that she could have chosen the first option, so that she would not only solve her current predicament, but also find her husband and son more quickly. But she hesitated, in the first option, Lin Zhu had actually helped her to the maximum, and she could have two taels of silver in four months, which was a big gain, according to what Lin Zhu said, she could find another big family, which must be more than the money Lin Zhu gave. However, she always felt that something was wrong.

After thinking about it carefully, I found that Lin Zhu never let the adults in the family come out to speak, and it was Lin Zhu who was always in charge of her affairs. Not only that, the second option proposed by Lin Zhu is also very beneficial to her, as long as she has the salary, she can go to find her husband when she has a break for the four days, and it is not a deed of sale, but a deed of work, when she thinks that she can not sell herself as a slave, Chang's heart can't help but feel a burst of warmth, after being a slave for a long time, she saw that her son was sold by the master's family, and at that time she didn't know how much she hated the identity of a slave and a maid. Now that she doesn't have to sell herself, she is very excited, and she can't wait to agree to the second way that Lin Zhu said immediately.

Chang just wanted to call Lin Zhu, but suddenly the sound of a baby crying came from the east house, and Lin Zhu's soft coaxing voice, "Okay, Xiaofu Dou'er doesn't cry, oh, oh, don't cry." But the crying still didn't stop, "The milk has been drunk, and the diaper has been changed for you, so you are still not satisfied." Lin Zhu hugged Fudou in the back room and coaxed her, but he just kept crying, making her sweat profusely, but she didn't know what the problem was?

When he was in a hurry, Chang's voice came in from outside, "Little girl, why don't I come and take a look?" ”

Lin Zhu thought about it, she was also more experienced than herself, so if she didn't do it here, she would deal with the matter in front of her first. So he invited her into the back room.

Chang Shi was outside the house first, dusting off his body before lifting the curtain and going inside. As soon as I entered the house, I saw that Lin Zhu was holding a little baby with great effort, walking around on the kang and shaking his arms. But the child in his arms still cried.

Chang saw that there was water in the house, so he washed his hands with water first, and then took off his coat, leaving only the cotton clothes inside, and then took the child in Lin Zhu's hand. first put him on the kang and opened the wrapped quilt, only to find that the clothes Fu Dou was wearing were tied too tightly, which made him a little uncomfortable before crying, plus Lin Zhu's way of hugging him was a little wrong, and it was not relieved, so Fu Douer kept crying to protest.

Chang dressed him again, wrapped his diaper, and wrapped the quilt again, which calmed him down. In her arms, she fell asleep comfortably.

After Chang put down the sleeping Fu Dou'er, Lin Zhu motioned for her to come out and speak, for fear that it would not be good for them to wake him up if they spoke loudly in the house.

Chang put on his coat again and followed Lin Zhu out of the house. Just now, Lin Zhu saw that she washed her hands first, and then took off her coat before hugging the child, and she was very satisfied with her approach. "Aunt Chang, Xie Lu thanked you just now." "It's nothing." Chang shook his head slightly. I wanted to say something more, but I couldn't open my mouth.

Seeing her like this, Lin Zhu took the initiative to ask, "Has Aunt Chang thought about it?" Chang Shi combed his hair with his hands, "I thought about it, but don't you need to ask your parents to come over to discuss?" "No, there are only two people in the family, me and Fu Dou'er, and everything is up to me." Lin Zhu explained to her that he didn't have parents, and asked her to think about it again, but Chang was just stunned for a moment, and said that he would do things with her in the second way.

Lin Zhu was a little puzzled when she saw that she answered so happily, ordinary people would not doubt that if only the child's family invited someone, could they send out the question of money? Why wasn't she worried at all?

Seeing Lin Zhu's expression, Chang said to her with a smile, and gave her the kindness of hot water on a cold day, even if she was willing to be a slave and a maid. Not to mention taking her in to do things at home.

Since Chang had decided to stay, Lin Zhu told her that she would sign the work deed first, and that she would have to ask the village chief for help, and then buy her some clothes, and her luggage would be gone, leaving only the clothes on her body.
