Chapter 50: Twists and Turns
While they were talking happily, the woman who sold herself to bury her mother arrived at the door of the teahouse and saw the son who gave her money, so she walked straight over and stood there to bless Wei Xian.
Ling Xiaoxiao felt that she didn't look like she was from a poor family, and she looked like a young lady from a big family.
After Wei Xian beckoned her to sit down, she asked why her life experience had fallen to this point, the woman looked at the two people in front of her, did not twist, and directly began to talk about her life experience.
"The little girl's name is Qin, called Cuicui, is a family in Yuefeng Town, Fengguo, her father is a foreigner, her mother is a lady, her family has two fields and 100 acres, 100 long-term workers, and her life is very rich.
There is an amazing sister who married to the Moon Country three years ago, and there is a seven-year-old brother who lives happily, but one day the sister sent them bad news at her husband's house in the Moon Country, and the sister was found to have an adulterous affair, and after being hit by the husband's family, she jumped off the cliff and is still missing.
My parents hurriedly sold their property and rushed to Fengguo, but on the way they encountered bandits, the money was robbed, my father was killed in order to protect us, and my younger brother was nowhere to be found in the chaos at that time.
We didn't know any of our mother and daughter, and we couldn't find my brother-in-law's house, so I begged along the street for several months, and now my mother is gone, and I can't bury my mother hastily, but I don't have any money in my hand, so I can only come up with this method.
But I still have to take revenge and find out the whereabouts of my sister and brother, so I can only sell myself for three years.
But after three years of service, I will still pay off the two taels of silver, which can be regarded as a return of kindness, because I can also play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I also know a little bit of business, so give me time, and I will earn money. Qin Cuicui truthfully told the two people in front of her about her situation, and also told Wei Xian her thoughts.
Ling Xiaoxiao felt that if this woman was placed in modern times, she would probably be an independent woman in the new era, with brains and ideas, and more importantly, she was neither humble nor arrogant.
"I didn't expect your life experience to be tortuous enough, but I borrowed you for these two taels of silver, you are now a free body, you can do whatever you want, and you can pay me back later." Wei Xian, who had just met, patted the woman on the shoulder and said, because she was originally a woman disguised as a man, and she didn't tell her parents, if she brought back another woman, it was estimated that her father would reprimand her again, so she rejected Cuicui.
"Childe, since you helped me, I can't go back, I have served you for three years, I have no complaints, do you dislike me for being ugly, do you know less, I can learn." The woman suddenly knelt on the ground and said, because she had already thought of the worst possible outcome since she had made this decision.
"Hey, I don't mean that, you get up first, these two taels of silver are not much in my place, and my father will not agree to me taking a woman home, by the way, don't you know how to do business, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, then go to restaurants, cloth shops, teahouses to find a livelihood, I don't need you to serve here, you have to pay me back in the future." When Wei Xian saw Cuicui who was about to kneel down again, she felt that she couldn't resist it, and motioned to Ling Xiaoxiao to help with her eyes.
After seeing her friend's eyes, Ling Xiaoxiao knew that she didn't know how to refuse and solve this kind of problem, so she stood up and helped Cuicui up: "That's it, I and Wei Gongzi are friends, Wei Gongzi's family is inconvenient to take you back, my relatives here have a restaurant, don't you know how to settle accounts and do business, then arrange something for you in the restaurant, including food and accommodation, so that you can often see Wei Gongzi, and you can also have a place to stay, so as not to make Wei Gongzi so embarrassed, do you think it's good?" Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the lovely-looking Cuicui in front of her and felt that it was not bad to let her go to her own restaurant, but she just lacked helpers, and she could be regarded as helping her and Wei Xian at the same time.
Cuicui looked at Wei Xian's face with an embarrassed expression, knowing that he really didn't want to serve himself, so she stopped squirming and bowed to him: "That little girl has thanked Wei Gongzi here, I don't know if Gongzi can tell the little girl her name and residence, and if you save enough money in the future, you can send it directly." ”
"No need, just call me Wei Gongzi, I will often go to that restaurant in the future, you can give it to me then." Wei Xian breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Cuicui finally let go of her and didn't follow her, and quietly stretched out her thumb to Ling Xiaoxiao, and then bypassed Cuicui in the middle to hug Ling Xiaoxiao.
"Are you brother and sister?" Looking at the two people who were acting intimately, Cuicui asked suspiciously.
"Yes, I'm my brother, she's my sister." Wei Xian hooked Ling Xiaoxiao's neck and said with a flying expression, as if her eyes were shining.
And this expression also made Ling Xiaoxiao remember the arrogant temperament at that time many years later, and put her arm on her body informally, and Wei Xian was also the first sister she had in this era, and the last.
"Don't listen to her, we don't have anything to do with it." Let's go, I'll take you to see the restaurant, Ling Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Wei Xian, who was lying on her shoulder, pouted in disgust, and turned back to Cuicui and said.
Then Ling Xiaoxiao took Wei Xian and Cuicui to the restaurant she had just bought, and opened the door to let them in: "This is my relative's restaurant, but it has not been renovated yet, someone will come over tomorrow at the latest, you first find a room in the backyard to live in, I will go back and tell them today, tomorrow you will follow them to help, there should be no bedding in the house, this is fifty wen, advance your salary first, and then give it to me when you earn the money." After Ling Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she took out the money from her pocket, not because Ling Xiaoxiao was stingy, but because she felt that this woman was not the kind of person who liked to be chared, so she chose to use this way, and Cuicui was more acceptable.
"Cuicui has thanked the two of you for this time, and she will not be grateful in the future."
"Anyone will encounter difficulties, help out, it's no big deal, okay, you can rest here, let's go first." Ling Xiaoxiao waved his hand and said.
After the two of them were a little farther away from the restaurant, Wei Xian slapped Ling Xiaoxiao with her hand: "Okay, you, you're only young, and you're so old-fashioned in handling things, I think you're older than me." ”
"Age is not a problem, so let's call each other by name in the future, how about I call you Xianxian?" Ling Xiaoxiao thought that calling Xian'er was too much like the name of the people in the family, and it was very numb, so she planned to call it this name.
"Okay, no one has called me Xianxian yet, then I'll call you Xiaoxiao, have you eaten, I'm so hungry, take you to eat delicious, I know that there is a wonton that is very delicious, and many people line up every day," Wei Xian was excited to take Ling Xiaoxiao to that place.
