Chapter 429: Rong'er's Bamboo Workshop
After a lot of persuasion and a lot of wits and courage, Rong'er sent this Tian Gongzi away.
Since knowing this son surnamed Tian, Rong'er has been taken care of by him a lot. Otherwise! Seriously! It was really difficult for her to live in the Qi country. Especially the assassination of the little hooligan Tian Wen back then, if it wasn't for the help of this Tian Gongzi, she might have died.
But! She doesn't hold grudges! She took revenge and killed Tian Wen, who humiliated her.
"Sister! Sister! What happened to you? β
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walked in, and when she saw that Rong'er's face was wrong, she asked anxiously.
Rong'er looked up at the little girl and said with a smile: "It's okay! Tian Gongzi is here again just now! I sent him away. β
"Oh?" The little girl nodded and said nothing more.
In the eyes of their sisters, Tian Gongzi is a good person. Although he was born into a nobleman, he was different from other noble children, he did not fall. Their sisters all relied on his care to survive in this bustling city.
"You guard the storefront, I'll go to the workshop! Just now! I took a big order, and it had to be completed in 10 days! β
"Ahh Sister! Got another big order? We're not done yet! The little girl pursed her lips and said, "We worked overtime last night!" Sister! Sister Mai'er's hand was pierced by a bamboo thorn, and she cried in pain. β
"It's good to be busy until winter, this winter, we won't take orders!" Rong'er comforted. Hearing that Mai'er's hand was pierced by bamboo thorns, Rong'er asked anxiously again.
"What's wrong with Mai'er? She? Is she always pricked? Did something happen? Does it matter? β
"Sister! We all asked, but she wouldn't say! β
Rong Er explained, left the storefront, and walked to the bamboo workshop outside the city.
Out of the west gate of the main city, two streets to the south, Rong'er entered a courtyard. This is Rong'er's bamboo workshop.
At the door of the courtyard, there is a horizontal plaque signboard that reads: Rong'er Bamboo Workshop.
The courtyard is not very large, and there are three faΓ§ade houses on the street, one entrance and exit room. Inside is a compound. In the courtyard, a large thatched hut was built, which can be regarded as a bamboo workshop. At the back of the courtyard, there is a row of four houses. It is a place where the sisters eat and sleep.
The house was rented by Rong'er and used as a workshop and warehouse. Afterward! There were more sisters in the house, and they had savings in their hands, so they asked Tian Gongzi to come forward and buy the entire courtyard. Rong'er contributed part of the capital and borrowed part from Tian Gongzi, and the rest of the money was saved by the sisters.
"Sister!" A childish voice screamed sweetly!
A little girl about four years old put down the toy in her hand, ran over, and threw herself into Rong'er's arms.
"Grass!" Rong'er saw the grass and pounced, quickly squatted down and hugged her in her arms.
"Sister! The grass misses you! Cao'er said, put her small mouth to Rong'er's face, and kissed it.
The sisters who were doing handicrafts saw Rong'er coming, and they all became excited, stopped what they were doing, and gathered around.
"Sister!"
"Sister!"
"Sister Rong'er!"
"Sister!"
ββ¦β¦β
The sisters all rushed over to say hello.
Rong'er looked at them one by one and nodded at them.
Out of everyone, Rong'er didn't find Mai'er and asked, "Where is Mai'er?" β
"Her hands were pricked with bamboo thorns, they were all swollen, and she was lying at home!" A sister said.
Rong'er hugged the grass and entered the hall.
Mai'er heard Rong'er's voice, got up from the bed, walked outside, and happened to meet Rong'er.
"Sister Mai'er!" Cao'er saw Mai'er's bitter melon face, and screamed sensibly.
Mai'er nodded at Cao'er and let Rong'er into the room. And then! Close the door and bolt the door.
"Woooooo Mai'er didn't speak, but cried first!
"Mai'er! What happened to you? Mai'er? β
Rong'er put the grass on the ground, stretched out his hands, and hugged Mai'er.
Mai'er is the first sister taken in by Rong'er, and she is also Rong'er's right-hand man. She was taken in when she was fourteen, and Maier was thirteen at the time. Mai'er couldn't remember where her home was, and for as long as she could remember, she had been living on the streets, relying on handouts from well-wishers.
That year! Mai'er was so hungry that she went to steal the sacrificial offerings to eat, and when she was discovered, she was beaten and thrown into the street, thinking she was dead. happened to be discovered by Rong'er, who was bent on revenge, and was saved.
"I've got a body! Woooooo Under Rong'er's questioning, Mai'er cried and whispered.
"You? You? Do you have a body? You? Rong'er comforted: "You should be happy?" You? What are you crying for? β
"He's a liar! He has an aunt at home and two babies! Woooooo He moved to Yan Kingdom! Woowoo woo ......"
Originally! Mai'er got along with a small trader who was doing business in the capital of Qi. The other party lied that he was unmarried, and deceived Mai'er into raping/defiling his body. Later, he coaxed Mai'er many times, saying that he was single and how to treat Mai'er in the future. Maier believed him, forgave him, and promised to follow him. Outcome! was discovered by his mother-in-law, who also beat her up.
After Mai'er recovered from her injuries, she took Rong'er to look for it, but the family had already moved back to Yanguo.
Rong'er didn't know the details, only that Mai'er had a good time with a trader from the Yan Kingdom.
"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! There we have it! Rong'er heard this and hurriedly relieved.
"But I'm pregnant? Woowoo woo ......"
"Give birth to the child! We all raise! Let the child grow up and go to his father and ask for an explanation! β
"Sister Mai'er! And me! Cao'er also said sensibly on the side.
Under Rong'er's relief, Mai'er got better. She stopped being self-conscious, got up, and did what she could.
She was deliberately stabbed by a bamboo thorn last night, and she felt sad.
"Where's the eldest sister?"
Coming out of the room, Rong'er found that there was one person missing, and that was the eldest sister who was two years older than her.
"The eldest sister went grocery shopping, and she said that her sister was here and wanted to buy some delicious food."
The eldest sister is the second person taken in by Rong'er.
That winter, Rong'er practiced the Mo family's swordsmanship in the snow, but found a man lying in the snow on the outskirts of the city. Seeing that it was a woman about her own age, out of sympathy, she carried her back and saved her.
"Sisters! We sent! Today! I've got another big order! Fifty sieve baskets, fifty bamboo plates, fifty baskets, one hundred fish baskets, one hundred barben fish cages, ......"
Rong'er reported the list she received today.
When the dozen sisters heard this, they were first surprised. And then! It's a bitter melon on the face. At last! Still shaking their heads and laughing one by one, they admit it.
They are not working for Rong'er for nothing, most of them are self-employed and distributed according to their work. There are only a few people who volunteered to work for Rong'er to repay Rong'er's adoption and life-saving grace.
As for who works for themselves, and who wants to repay Rong'er's kindness, it's not up to Rong'er to decide, but! The sisters decide for themselves, and it is entirely up to the conscience of a person to be a human being.
"Sisters!" Rong'er habitually greeted: "Today! I'll teach you how to make a barried fish cage! β
When the sisters heard that they were going to teach them the trade, they gathered around them one by one.
"The cage is placed in the ditch of flowing water to block the fish entering the water. After the fish entered the barbarrier cage, they could not get out of the cage because of the barbarooner. So! Call it an inverted beard cage. β
While demonstrating, Rong'er explained: "The cage is still the same fish cage, except that an inverted whisker is installed at the neckline of the cage. Let's make the fish cage first, and then make an inverted whisker to be mounted on the neckline of the cage......"
