Labor and cultivation are not enough to support his self-proclaimed talent, five cars, and even more so to support his family, almost when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, he accidentally got the opportunity to get an errand in the government, even if he is very poor, Sheng Mingxuan is not willing to miss it.

The thick and fragrant hot tea was overflowing, but Shui Zhi did not give it to Mrs. Sheng, but turned her face and gave the teacup to Shen Lizhi, who was kneeling, adding another handful of firewood to this matter that was about to be settled: "If the old lady thinks about it, she will eat a cup of daughter tea from Miss Lizhi, and this matter will be done." Our lady is charitable, and she won't take a penny more from your family for the money she ransom. ”

The master and servant sang and harmonized, and Mrs. Sheng listened to it and was already moved. Shen Lizhi was also obedient, observing his words and feelings, moving at the right time, and shedding a few crystalline sincere tears: "Madam and sister are both slaves, so I will be cheeky and say one more word." ”

Her eyes lit up faintly, she looked up at everyone in the Sheng family, and said solemnly: "If the Sheng family takes in the daughter and marries in the future, I will definitely not work the old lady, lord or wife to prepare a dowry for me." Thanks to the lady's promotion, Lizhi can also receive some rewards, and he still saves some. ”

While talking, the singer's cuffs fell, the slender hand orchid was lightly twisted, holding the hot tea high, the fingertips were red and numb and she didn't say a word, her expression was weak and docile but resolute, and she was really pitiful everywhere.

Hearing about the dowry, Sheng Yang's heart was evacuated, and he was happy to save a sum of silver. Mrs. Sheng's mother and son were both surprised, and they couldn't afford such a big benefit anymore, so they nodded their heads in unison.

It is a matter of time before he hears the word "good" from the mouth of the Sheng family, and the master and servant of Mo Yu know it, Shen Lizhi is really overjoyed, and he calls "Niang" diligently, if she is heard by someone who doesn't know the inside story, she will think that she is Mrs. Sheng's own child.

Mrs. Sheng let go of her little grandson, dragged her to find Sheng Yang's, flattened her sleeves, sat upright, took her daughter's tea, and after three rings, Shen Lizhi became "Sheng Lizhi". Lizhi had already seen that the family was not very harmonious, and he also kowtowed to Sheng Mingxuan and Sheng Yang respectively, giving the newly appointed cheap sister-in-law enough face.

Seeing that it was done, Mo Yu naturally didn't want to talk to the family any more, so after collecting the money for redemption, he asked Lizhi to go and pack up his baggage, and followed Mrs. Sheng's family out.

Lizhi always smiled with tears, holding Mrs. Sheng's arm, lowering her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, like a gentle daughter.

The singer and the dancer live in a courtyard hut, and the last time a woman was taken out, it was the time when Lu Niang got married. On the way, passing by the abandoned firewood house where she had been imprisoned, Lizhi was very frightened, and deliberately quickened her pace, almost making Mrs. Sheng stumble.

"Mother, I'll go in and clean up. This is where Sister Yao lived, the house was very unclean, you and your brother and sister-in-law were not easy to enter, and you were wronged by your old man's house and so on. When he arrived at the door of his house, Lizhi stopped, lowered his head and negotiated with Mrs. Sheng flatteringly.

Mrs. Sheng was reluctant to agree at first, so she had to follow in, in the name of helping, but she was actually afraid that Lizhi had hidden something valuable. However, Sheng Yang listened to it, tabooed that Sister Yao was dirty, and grabbed his mother-in-law, telling Lizhi to go back quickly, don't delay their big event.

"You are your mother-in-law's master!" Mrs. Sheng saw Lizhi enter the house, and she couldn't spy on anything as soon as the door was closed, so she was so anxious that she smacked Sheng Yang's mouthful: "She thinks I am a mother, just like that little hoof, give all the silver to the family, if I don't stare at it, if she hides something good, it is not our Sheng family who suffers!" ”

"Okay, mother-in-law, you really think she is easy to handle, I don't think it's much softer than the second sister. You beware of pushing her into a hurry for a few dollars, and then talk about something when you get to the Li Mansion. ”

After arguing for a long time, Sheng Yang's family was already tired of it, so he specially picked the most important place and squeezed Mrs. Sheng's words. Sheng Mingxuan also couldn't wait to calm things down, pulled his mother away and walked away, and went to the side to mutter.

The singer's dwelling was crowded and cramped, and Lizhi sat on a cold and hard bunk, surrounded by miscellaneous clothes and skirts. She obviously just said a few words, kowtowed a few times, and accompanied a few smiling faces, but all the strength in her body seemed to be drained, and she didn't want to move for a moment.

Everything was arranged by Mrs. Moyu, and it can also be said that she won it herself, but when it came to the end, Lizhi realized that it was far from being a concubine - the Sheng family was clearly a tiger and wolf den, and before using her to show her loyalty, she had to squeeze the oil and water on her body first.

However, the relatives have recognized it, there is no way out, and it is impossible for Mrs. Mo Yu to tolerate a little singer who is cheap and behaved. Listening to the movement outside the house, Lizhi's heart became more and more sour, and he couldn't help but wipe his tears.

"Sister? Sister Lizhi, how are you? ”

The door was suddenly pushed open a crack, and the cold wind took the opportunity to penetrate and make the branches shiver. A thin little figure came in from outside the door, rubbing his hands and anxiously greeting Lizhi. Even if the thick window paper is pasted, the light in the room is dim and it is not clear to see, and the branches know that it is Wen Yan'er.

Wen Yan'er was wearing a thick blue tweed jacket, and the collar and placket were inlaid with a narrow line of silver-gray wind hair, probably running too fast, her face was blown red by the wind, and the butterfly flower bun on her head was also scattered a few locks, and a tassel hairpin was wrapped around the hair.

"Sister, I heard it, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing." Wen Yan'er couldn't care about the cold hands of herself, she held Lizhi's hand tightly, and her heartache was written on her face.

The matter was dull, and Lizhi's face was hot, and he refused to speak. Seeing this, Wen Yan'er became even more anxious: "On the way back, I met a few sisters in your house and said that you are so blessed that you want to go home and get married." As soon as I heard it, I felt that it was wrong, so I came to you quickly, and I saw those people outside! I stole my ears and realized what was going on! ”

Lizhi listened to the righteous sister's narration, and his heart was not only sour and bitter, but also added a sense of self-esteem. Although the door of the house was raided and broken, and his father was beheaded for injustice, but the widowed mother was still alive, but she wanted to recognize others as her mother and brother, and she was willing to fall into the concubine and the like, and once she closed her eyes in the future, she really didn't know what face she should have to meet the ancestors underground.

"Good sister...... Don't say it, don't say it. Lizhi bit his lip, his skin and flesh were delicate, and he was left with a dense mark by the white shell teeth.

The girl's face was white and soft, carefully decorated with fragrant powder and cream, soaked with tears, washing out two dull and sticky marks. Tears slid under the lip flap, stimulating the tiny bite scars, and the slightest stinging pain was not unbearable, but it was like insects and ants drilling into the heart, endlessly.
