After Jinyu returned to her yard, she ate a few dried plums and picked up embroidered bandages.

"What is Madame embroidering?" Cui'er asked curiously as she wiped the vase on the cabinet next to her.

"You'll know when you embroider it." Jin Yu didn't raise her head and said, she continued to embroider seriously, and planned to go to the shop on the street to make a set of long-life locks, bracelets or something.

The white fat baby is wearing a belly pocket and a silver collar or something, it must be very cute and cute, Jinyu thought, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously, so that Cui'er on the side really put her mind at ease.

When it was almost noon, half of the five poison patterns on the embroidered bandage had been embroidered, in fact, Jinyu wanted to embroider a little tiger or something. However, there was this custom in ancient times, and the reason why the five poisons were embroidered on the child's belly pocket was exquisite.

Regardless of superstition or not, she is very local and also embroidered this pattern, hoping that the child will grow up healthy and safe.

"Madam, the old lady's housekeeper's mother is here." Ping'er entered the house to report.

What did she come over for? Jinyu wondered and motioned for someone to come in.

"I've seen Madame, the old slave came here on the order of the old lady, Dong'er's girl's contract has expired, and her uncle has come to pick up someone, so I'm waiting in the house at this time." After the housekeeper's mother-in-law, Zhang's mother-in-law, greeted Jinyu and explained her intentions.

"Madam, madam, you go and help the slave and maid beg the old lady, the slave and the maid will not leave, the slave and the maid are willing to sign a death contract to serve you for a lifetime, and the slave and maid have not expired, there are still three months." Another person suddenly rushed in from outside the door, kneeling in front of Jinyu, pleading with red eyes.

Wouldn't it be nice to have the opportunity to not have to be a subordinate in advance? Why is Dong'er reluctant to leave? Is there something hidden here?

"Dong'er, you originally intended to stay, I'm very happy, as long as you think it through yourself, you can make your own decisions about whether to stay or not." Jin Yu never asked about the life experience of these girls around her, judging from her impression of this girl on weekdays, she felt that she was not the kind of person who did not want to go back because her family was poor.

"Madam, the old lady has already promised his uncle." When Zhang's mother saw Jinyu intervening and obstructing, she reminded her a little unhappily.

Hearing this tone, Jinyu suddenly felt very unhappy, she really wanted to help Dong'er fight for this matter.

"What's going on?" Cao Cheng, who heard crying outside the door, walked in, looked around and asked.

Mama Zhang's face immediately smiled, which was completely different from her previous attitude towards Jinyu. It was perfunctory before, but now he is a full servant, and he told him again about his intentions, and by the way, he also said Jinyu's attitude.

Jinyu didn't say anything, just waited and saw what he said. Can't you keep someone if you want to? And this girl volunteered to stay.

"Since Dong'er doesn't want to leave, just stay, I'll go tell my mother." Cao Cheng hesitated for a moment, and what he said made Jinyu quite satisfied.

"Thank you, thank you, madam, Dong'er will work harder." Dong'er kowtowed to Cao Cheng and Jinyu as she spoke.

"Okay, go out, don't make any noise about Madame." Cao Cheng waved his hand, and then walked out, and Zhang's mother and Dong'er Ping'er hurriedly followed. In the room, there were only two left, Jinyu and Cui'er.

"Dong'er has no father or mother, and that uncle is also a seventeen or eighteen bend. She went to the house to do things, and all these years of monthly money went into the bag of that gambling uncle, and if she went back with him at this age, she might be sold somewhere. Cui'er said with a sigh.

"You know that." Jinyu only knew that these girls' backgrounds must be pitiful, but she didn't expect Dong'er's backgrounds to be like this.

Cui'er told Jinyu that it was Dong'er who told her.

Yes, if you go back like this, you will be jumping into a fire pit, so you might as well stay here and do things. As long as you don't do anything wrong, your life is okay.

Fortunately, Cao Cheng was willing to help speak, so he didn't have to offend the mother-in-law himself, it really collapsed, and he might not be able to protect Dong'er, after all, she was originally from the Cao family, not from her mother's family.

Instead of spending money to buy a newcomer from the tooth shop, how can it be good to leave a well-trained person who understands the rules, Jinyu felt that Cao Cheng should have no problem with this, so she didn't worry too much, put the embroidered bandage back into the bamboo plaque, and dragged a handkerchief to cover it, ready to rest and have lunch.

After a short time, Cao Cheng turned around, and after entering the house, Jin Yu found that his face was not good-looking. "Why, my mother didn't agree?" She asked.

"How could my mother be such a ruthless person, I heard that you want to keep people, and Dong'er also volunteered to stay, so I agreed, but I haven't gone far yet, and the slave has changed her mind and wants to leave." Cao Cheng said angrily.

"Huh? How so? When she begged here just now, Cui'er and Ping'er heard it. "Jinyu really can't figure it out.

"Am I going to lie to you, that girl will come to you soon, you can ask yourself." After Cao Cheng finished speaking unhappily, he turned around and walked out of the house.

Jinyu really didn't believe it, she didn't have the patience to wait, and went out and walked directly to the small room next to the girl's residence. When I got to the door, I heard the suppressed cry inside, as well as Ping'er's persuasion.

When Jinyu entered the house, Dong'er didn't know it, and was still crying on the quilt. It was Ping'er who pushed Dong'er and told her that her wife was coming, so she raised her head.

"What's the matter with you?" Jinyu was annoyed by crying and asked.

"Madame, don't be angry, it's the slave maid who is not good, and the slave maid is half-hearted." Dong'er got up and knelt in front of Jinyu again, kneeling on the ground and convincing her mistake.

Jin Yu obviously felt that she didn't want to leave at all, and since she had opened her mouth, she wanted to find out; "If you don't want to leave, just stay, and if there's anything unspeakable, just say it."

"What the slave wants to leave is, that is, she is reluctant to be a lady. Madam, after the slave and maid leave, you have to take care of your body, take good care of yourself......" Dong'er cried and raised her head to stop talking and then spoke, and wanted to say something, but she didn't expect to see Zhang's mother standing at the door, and immediately closed her mouth and bowed down.

"Hurry up, your uncle is already urging, and he specially borrowed a donkey cart to pick you up, no matter how late it is, you will have to rush overnight." Zhang's mother opened her mouth angrily.

Dong'er hurriedly got up and cleaned up her usual clothes in a haphazard manner, and cherished the rouge pollen that Jinyu usually rewarded on the small table.

Jinyu sighed, walked to the courtyard, and after a short time, she saw Dong'er with red and swollen eyes, walking out with a burden on her back, and kowtowing to Jinyu again.

Jinyu didn't know what to say, just now she had asked Cui'er to secretly give Dong'er a silver ticket of fifty taels, and told her to hide it so that she would not be searched by that wild uncle, and it would be used for emergencies.

Dong'er walked a long way, and frequently turned her head to look at Jinyu, seeing that Jinyu felt strange and uncomfortable, a girl who served herself would actually be reluctant to herself, and she seemed to be very uneasy, could she be such a weak person in the eyes of others? Jinyu really didn't understand......
