Chapter 34: Pawn

Liang Hongxia actually hasn't accepted the fact that she will be busy with housework in the future.

Although she was tired enough in the past three days, she still had Yang Qingxiang on the side to help, and she could still find an opportunity to be lazy and ask her to help do this and that with all kinds of reasons.

Although Zhong Miao's dead girl is staring, she is not there all the time. Coupled with the soft nature of her younger siblings, she can also be busy in the end.

But if her brother and sister really find a job in the town, then how will she live the rest of her life!

Liang Hongxia was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Zhong Miao watched coldly from the side, where would she not know her thoughts?

"I said second uncle, my mother went out to make money, this matter has long been decided. At that time, you said that you were not familiar with it, and you wanted my mother to take you for a few days, aren't you doing well now? Besides, it's not like there's a job, and now it's just a trip to the town to try your luck. ”

"Or do you want to swap with my mother, she does housework at home, and you go out to make money?"

At this time, Wang Wenjing stood aside and was reluctant to give up, and when she heard the words, she looked at Zhong Miao with black and white eyes.

Zhong Miao winked at her and snorted.

"I've heard that it's not easy to find a job now, but I did find a job that I guess is also doing laundry, cooking, and taking care of children. When it comes to washing clothes, there are a lot of them, like a hill, and when they are washed, it will be dark, and their hands are wrinkled and they can't be seen, who can stand it in the long run? Maybe your hands are going to rot......"

Wang Wenjing exclaimed very cooperatively, "Ah, it's terrifying! ”

turned around and took Yang Qingxiang's hand, "Mother, otherwise you still don't want to make money, there is just such a little work at home, and it will be done after a while, so you won't wash your hands." But in this case, there is an adult waiting to eat at home, so it is better to let the second aunt go out to make money. ”

As soon as the words fell, Liang Hongxia, who had just heard that she could go out to make money instead of Yang Qingxiang, immediately changed her face, pointed at Wang Wenjing's nose and scolded.

"How do you talk, little girl? Didn't you say early in the morning that you would let your mother go out to make money? My mother also said that this year's harvest is not good, and she can earn some money. Daddy and mother have decided to do a good thing, and when it comes to your girl's mouth, it will become something that can be changed? ”

Liang Hongxia was fierce, looking as if she wanted to teach Wang Wenjing a good lesson.

turned around and said Yang Qingxiang unceremoniously, "Brother and sister, what do you mean by this?" Just let a little girl talk nonsense, and those who don't know think that Wen Jing hasn't been taught well since she was a child. ”

Zhong Miao blinked, "What do the second aunt and an eight-year-old girl care about!" If you don't hold back, just listen to it, it's okay if she said what Grandpa and Grandma decided, right? ”

She paused, then opened her mouth again and brought the topic back, "Then my mother will not be able to go to the town today?" If the second aunt really feels that the housework can't be done, then my mother can't delay it for another two days......"

"Zhong Miao, how can you think like that? It's a good thing to make money to subsidize the family, but I'm just worried that my younger sibling hasn't gone out for fear that she won't fit in. ”

Liang Hongxia hurriedly expressed her position, for fear that if she spoke slowly, she would have to go out to find a job.

Her hands were white and tender, but they couldn't be washed by washing clothes.

As Wang Wenjing said, there is so much work at home, no matter how much you say it, it is easier than the work outside. She is at home, and she can rest directly when she is tired and sleepy, but it is different outside, and she has to look at her face to do anything.

That's too embarrassing.

Liang Hongxia's brain spun fast, and she was even busy catching up with people.

"I don't think it's too early, if you don't leave for a while, it's really uncomfortable, and you have to sweat." When she turned around, she saw that Wang Wenjing was still holding Yang Qingxiang and didn't let go, and she stepped forward to pull her back, "You can't be so squeamish, it's not good to get in the way of business." ”

Wang Wenjing rarely stayed by Liang Hongxia's side obediently, and grinned at Zhong Miao when people were unprepared.

Zhong Miao responded with a wink.

After solving Liang Hongxia, Zhong Miao, Wang Baolian and Yang Qingxiang embarked on the journey to the town together.

Jiangping Town is four miles away, because Wang Baolian brought a basket of finished needlework, and Yang Qingxiang was going to look for work, it was better to take the ox cart after a little discussion.

The ox cart is not expensive, two cents per person, Wang Baolian handed over six wen, and the coachman left directly.

The journey went smoothly, and it was estimated that a cup of tea would enter Jiangping Town.

The ox cart drove until it stopped in front of a cloth village, and Wang Baolian asked Yang Qingxiang and Zhong Miao to wait outside, and she took the finished needlework and embroidery into the settlement and came out.

Zhong Miao thought about it, and let Yang Qingxiang go in together.

“…… Little aunt, my mother will be with you first, I made an appointment with my friend to meet nearby, her things fell to me, I will return them and come back. ”

Because of this sentence, Wang Baolian also looked Zhong Miao's whole body up and down.

"You don't even go out of the gate much, how can you have friends in the town?"

Zhong Miao was trying to find a reason to fool around, but Wang Baolian didn't really care, "Just pay attention to your own safety, otherwise I won't be able to deal with my mother." ”

After she finished speaking, she took Yang Qingxiang and went to Buzhuang.

Yang Qingxiang looked back at her twice, her mouth opened, and she didn't say anything in the end.

Zhong Miao stood in place and walked along the left avenue, preparing to go to Shiliu Street.

When she first arrived in Qingguo Village, she had followed Mrs. Jiang to the town twice. Because Mrs. Jiang had taken her to Shiliu Street, she still remembered that there was a pawn shop in the middle of the street.

And she also has a piece of mutton fat white jade that she has worn since she was a child, according to Mrs. Jiang, it was given by her father Zhong Zijun when she was just born.

Not only is it valuable, but it is also an existence that can prove its identity.

But the Zhong family is dispensable to her, and since she has abandoned her, she naturally doesn't recognize the Zhong family.

Therefore, this piece of jade is far less important to her.

It just so happens that now that she is short of money to do business, it is better to treat it as worthwhile.

Zhong Miao found the Nine Heavens Pawn Shop on Shiliu Street with this in mind.

Probably because it was still early, there was no figure at the door of the pawnshop, and a shopkeeper stood behind the counter, and the abacus was crackling.

Sensing that someone had stepped forward, the shopkeeper glanced up, and I didn't know if he had just woken up, wilted, and didn't look energetic.

He swept Zhong Miao's whole body up and down, probably expecting that what she was going to do was not a good thing, and said lazily: "You wait a while, I'll check the accounts." ”

Where does Zhong Miao have that time? Wang Baolian handed over her needlework and it would be good soon, and if they were to wait for a long time, they might be suspicious.

Thinking like this, she ripped off the piece of mutton fat white jade that she had been wearing around her neck and handed it directly to the shopkeeper.

"How much does this cost?"
