Chapter 53: Is It Dirty?
[The exiles in Liaodong are miserable, and the book friends also support it, don't hesitate to collect, don't be soft on the recommendation, thank you for the crabs :)]
"Mother, aunt, Liaomin is also a human being, and he is also a member of our Ming Dynasty!" Chu Fan said categorically - while the work has not yet started, the sooner this heart knot is opened, the better, so as not to delay the matter when it comes.
"If the Tartars hadn't taken their homeland, what difference would they have made to us?" Seeing that the little third aunt's lips moved, Chu Fan took the lead and blocked her back, "Say the same thing, wear the same clothes, worship the same ancestors, auntie, why are they inferior to us?" β
"They steal people......" The little third aunt lowered her eyes when Chu Fan said it, and muttered.
Chu Fan looked at Zhang's expression, and knew that she also saw it this way, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, the women of this era have been completely imprisoned by science, and they are so imprisoned that they don't even have the least sympathy.
"Auntie, mother," he began, patiently persuading, "you put yourself in their shoes, but if there is a job to fill their stomachs, will they go to the secret door?" β¦β¦ They are all desperate people who have been forced by the Tartars, can't we pity them? β¦β¦ The saints have said that there are scriptures and rights, and their lives cannot be saved, so what are the names and festivals to talk about? β¦β¦ Besides, most of the people I recruited this time have families and children, not to mention anything else, they received wages, how many fewer people can die this winter? You are all believers in bodhisattvas, so you don't need me to say how much merit this is, right? β
Zhang was the first to be moved, and after reciting "Amitabha", he said to the third aunt, "His aunt, Fan'er is right, who is this salary for, of course, you should come first with these people who are dying of hunger." β
The little third aunt actually figured it out, but she still muttered, "Li'er is this Li'er, but I always feel weird and awkward." β
Chu Fan smiled, "Auntie, let's recognize Li'er and not recognize people, okay?" I also pointed out that you and my mother helped manage more than 100 people, you always feel awkward, how can you take them to work in the future? β¦β¦ You also know the situation of my family, just wait for these tobaccos to be cleared so that the Japanese country can exchange it for silver, if you miss this winter, it will be a big trouble...... You feel awkward, your face must be ugly, your face is ugly, the Liao people are flustered, the Liao people are panicked, and the hands are not good, when do you say that we can make this tobacco clear? β
The little third aunt was amused by his tongue twister, and laughed out loud, "Yes, yes!" I don't feel awkward anymore! β¦β¦ But they are really dirty! β
"Huh?" Chu Fan's face was bitter, and he said in his heart that this little third aunt still couldn't turn around.
"They crawl around in their nests every day, how many lice and fleas are there on their bodies!" The little third aunt saw that Chu Fan was embarrassed, and smiled even more happily.
Chu Fan then understood that the pimple in the little third aunt's heart had been solved, but she raised this was a new problem, and after discussing with the two old men, he decided to get a few large wooden barrels in the warehouse, take a bath every day, and then change into special "work clothes" before starting work, so as not to pass the lice and fleas to the family.
"The silver of the cloth for the work clothes is spread evenly over each person's head and deducted from the salary." Seeing Zhang's painful face, Chu Fan hurriedly added, which made the old man's face soothe a little.

"Zhuzi, you just pity her, she is a lonely little girl, it's not easy!" Aunt Gu raised her head and said pitifully-just now seeing Xu Wanyun's reluctant look when she turned around three times in one step, Aunt Cao couldn't help it, rushed out, and dragged her to Xia Guozhu.
Zhuzi looked down at this thin girl with big eyes and two red phoenixes, and immediately remembered who she wasβwhen it came to her miserable life, both sides of the Sand River abounded. But in the eyes of the pillars, the really most pitiful are those young girls, especially those who have not yet learned needlework, except to sell their flesh * body, they have no other way to survive! The girl in front of me is one of them, and she is also the most beautiful one.
At this moment, the girl raised her head, and in her misty eyes, the color of pleading and pleading was like substance, and she hit the softest part of his heart, he sighed lightly, and was just about to agree, when he raised his eyes to see, the hundreds of pairs of eyes on the right were not full of pleading? If you loosen your mouth, the order of the scene that you have managed to maintain will be chaotic.
Gritting his teeth, Xia Guozhu said loudly, "Fellow villagers, I am also ordered to do things, the son doesn't want to be a lone woman, I can't help it, I'm really sorry." β
Hearing him say this, the lone women on the right let out all kinds of lamentations, and slowly dispersed reluctantly, but they didn't notice that Xia Guozhu had jumped off the big stone, leaned over and leaned into Xu Wanyun's ear and said, "You go first, and come back to me after half an hour." β
Xu Wanyun immediately understood the meaning behind the words, was overjoyed, and without saying a word, she knelt down and kowtowed to Xia Guozhu three times.
When she got up, she didn't go back to her nest, but went to the river and found a stone to sit down in a daze.
I don't know why, she subconsciously felt that this opportunity was very important to her, and it would be an opportunity for her to change her life.
No one wants to be willing to fall, especially Xu Wanyun.
When she was serving those soldiers on Phi Island, she still had a trace of dedication, after all, those who dared to fight with the Tartars with real swords and real guns seemed to her to be great heroes; But when she arrived in Dengzhou, serving these men of all kinds made her sick.
But she was really forced to do so, because she had tried all the ways to make money innocently, but none of them could succeed - because she was still young when Liaoyang City was broken, and her mother had not had time to teach her that hand needlework, and it was definitely not possible to make a living by needlework; Selling yourself to a big family as a maid is also because of this reason, people have said, use it as a big girl, don't know needlework, be a little girl, and be too old; As for the work of pulpping and washing clothes, the Liao people grabbed it too much, and it was not her turn at all.
In desperation, she could only do this most shameful secret door and sink in a dark fate.
Now, the news brought by the pillar lit up in her fate like a lightning bolt that pierced the darkness - although it was only a short month, the hope of making money was still firmly grasped in her heart like a huge hand.
The wind by the river was still biting, but Xu Wanyun's heart was hot, and when she stood up, she walked towards the bridge, which had gradually calmed down.
The pace is extremely firm.
