Chapter 174
Jiang Xuehe observed for a few days and found that Gu Dandan had indeed been a lot more honest recently, and she didn't know if she was afraid that she would send her back to the Cao family so she pretended to be honest, but Jiang Xuehe still asked Yang Ermiao to discuss with Cao Laosan about buying Gu Dandan back.
This matter is not difficult to do, Cao Laosan has no intention of embarrassing Jiang Xuehe, but he is still a little angry that Gu Dandan escaped alone. He said that he originally bought it for five hundred taels, but now Jiang Xuehe also bought it for five hundred taels. As soon as Gu Siyan heard this, he became angry, thinking to himself where Gu Dandan was worth five hundred taels?
Yang Ermiao gave the silver without saying a word, saying that this was what Cao Laosan said after drinking, and he had to hurry up. It is said that Cao Laosan will be more cheerful after drinking, if he doesn't drink and talk directly, I'm afraid that he will have to provide him with some materials with Jiang Xuehe. Jiang Xuehe didn't want to have anything to do with him in business, so Yang Ermiao took it upon himself to give the money.
Compared with being involved with the Cao family in business in the future, Jiang Xuehe also felt that the five hundred taels were more cost-effective, so he had no opinion.
She only said to Gu Dandan: "Although I bought you, I have no intention of returning your freedom." Would you like to let you be my Gu family's subordinate? ”
Gu Dandan nodded hurriedly, she would rather be a maid who only does rough work now, and she doesn't want to go back to the Cao family to live that kind of life is worse than death.
"It's useless to talk about it now, we still have to see the actual action when the time comes." Jiang Xuehe said coldly, "You can recuperate here first in the next few days, and then we will take you to Fucheng together." You just go to a place where no one knows you and start over. ”
Gu Dandan didn't expect Jiang Xuehe to be willing to take her to Fucheng, and she was immediately flattered. She knew that Gu Siyan's brothers and sisters didn't want to have more intersections with her, and they probably wouldn't care much about her after they went to Fucheng. But that's okay, then she'll be more at ease, and if she can go somewhere where no one knows her, she'll start all over again. And this time, she wants to be a good person.
Jiang Xuehe looked at Gu Dandan's eyes, and also felt that Gu Dandan should have repented. However, the nature of the country is easy to change, and this kind of thing cannot be easily decided, so let's talk about it later. I just hope that Gu Dandan has really changed and can be a useful person in the future. If she did well in the orphanage, then she was not unable to consider setting her free.
After Gu Dandan's matter was resolved, Jiang Xuehe went to He's house to visit Jiang Yingchun with the New Year's gift. Originally, I had planned to come over a long time ago, but the matter of meeting Gu Dandan was delayed for a few days.
Jiang Xuehe brought some new clothes from Fucheng, and there were a few particularly soft ones, which she specially prepared for the unborn child, and Jiang Yingchun liked it very much when she saw it.
"The fourth sister is careful, and the things she sends out are always so intimate." Jiang Yingchun said with a smile.
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "It's good that the second sister likes it, it's rare that the second sister didn't refuse the gift I gave me once." It can be seen that you really like it this time. ”
Jiang Yingchun shook his head and smiled: "I don't really like the gift you sent." It's just that for me and Little Butterfly, we don't need much clothes and jewelry, usually those are enough, and I always feel ashamed to take more. But this time is different, when my child is born, you will definitely not be in the village, and the child will not receive your gift when the time comes. Besides, I really need that kind of material right now. ”
Jiang Xuehe thought to herself, she may not be able to catch up with the washing three, but the full moon gift will definitely send another one, how can this little material be enough? However, she would not tell Jiang Yingchun this in advance, lest Jiang Yingchun refuse it when she got it. She knew in her heart that Jiang Yingchun was very strong, so she was always reluctant to accept too much favor from others. But this is how relatives come and go, not to mention that the ready-to-wear clothes made by Jiang Yingchun are mainly sold in her shop, and she just adds more gifts to these.
"Second sister is tired during this time?" Jiang Xuehe felt nervous when she looked at Jiang Yingchun's big belly.
Jiang Yingchun said with a smile: "The doctor said that I have a good pregnancy this child, and I also think it is good, and now I eat and drink well and have nothing to worry about, but I am too idle." I wanted to do some needlework, but your brother-in-law still made people stare at me and didn't let me do the needlework. ”
Jiang Xuehe hurriedly said: "It's really not appropriate to use needlework when you're pregnant with a child, the second sister should listen to the second brother-in-law." ”
He Dongsheng asked Yao Carpenter and his daughter-in-law to help, and for him, his wife was more reliable than his mother. After all, his wife really came to take care of people, and if his mother came over, she would definitely put her mother-in-law's score every day, and Jiang Yingchun would have to turn around and serve her when the time came.
Jiang Yingchun said with a smile: "I naturally know that he is for my good, but it is not a problem to just move a few stitches, otherwise where will my child's clothes come from in the future?" He's a big man and he doesn't know how to do needlework. ”
"Don't I have a shop in town? Whatever my sister needs, just let the people in the shop do it for you. Jiang Xuehe said with a smile, "Otherwise, I'll say hello to Shopkeeper Yang, with him, it's definitely no problem." ”
Yang Ermiao is an idle person, and he has been running between Fucheng and County for the past half a year, and sometimes he will go to other state capitals to see fresh goods. Because he didn't play much of a role in Fucheng, he stayed in the town longer than in Fucheng.
Jiang Yingchun shook his head and smiled: "Your shop was originally lent to me to make money, why am I embarrassed to make more trouble." However, I have been inconvenient recently, so I have handed over the matter of ready-to-wear to Aunt He San, and there is nothing wrong, right? ”
"Naturally, no, I think Aunt He San is also dedicated and doing a good job." Jiang Xuehe said and took out another stack of drawings, "These are what I drew when I had nothing to do in Fucheng, the second sister will collect them first, and then see what can be done after the confinement, and do it while you can do it." ”
Jiang Yingchun was pleasantly surprised when he opened one casually: "This peach blossom skirt is too good-looking, right?" Peach blossoms, pear blossoms, apricot blossoms, orchids, begonias, rhododendrons...... The four sisters, this is based on the theme of the flowers that bloom in the spring, and each of them has designed a dress? It's good if I can make it, but I can't do it if I need some silk flowers. ”
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "If the second sister wants to do it, I will send the silk flowers from Fucheng when the time comes." I also have a shop in Fucheng that can sell ready-to-wear clothes, and I think that when the time comes, I can unite Fucheng and the one in the town, and the Fucheng sells it, and the shops in the town also sell it, and I want to tell everyone that the clothes are all from Fucheng. ”
Jiang Yingchun couldn't help laughing: "You are really a clever ghost, you have played the banner of Fucheng, and there will definitely be many people who will buy this clothes at that time." ”
"That's really the clothes that Fucheng has, and it's not a lie. If it sells well, the second sister can also make more money. Jiang Xuehe smiled, "But this time it's not trivial, the second sister must not let anyone who can't believe it see." ”
Jiang Yingchun nodded: "I naturally know this, don't worry, I've always been careful, and it'll be fine." ”
Jiang Xuehe was naturally relieved of Jiang Yingchun, but she just mentioned it in passing. After all, it's a matter of urgency, and you can't go wrong with more embankments.
Jiang Xiyue also followed Jiang Xuehe, and after she greeted Jiang Yingchun and asked for warmth, she hugged the little butterfly on the side and asked her about her homework. After Jiang Xiyue went to Fucheng, Little Butterfly could only continue to stay at home and learn things from Jiang Yingchun. But how can Jiang Yingchun have the ability to control her now, so the little butterfly has not made any progress in this regard, and she is very embarrassed in the face of Jiang Xiyue's questions.
Seeing this, Jiang Yingchun smiled and said: "She is a country girl, as long as she can read and settle accounts and will not be deceived, as for deeper things, even if she can't learn it for a while, it's nothing." ”
Jiang Yingchun thought to herself, in the past, she thought too highly of herself, so she would die to save face and suffer crimes. But she couldn't help it, she learned too many things from Pei's family, many of which were not used by country women, and even country women should not learn. Because after studying, the more she felt that she was from a pathetic background, there were too many restrictions, and it was difficult to find a wishful husband who could understand each other. Isn't it embroidery that can really make her live a good life now?
Therefore, Jiang Yingchun didn't want his daughter to learn too much, and sent the little butterfly to Jiang Xiyue just to appease Jiang Xiyue. Since Jiang Xiyue left, she hasn't let Little Butterfly touch the things that Jiang Xiyue taught at the beginning.
Jiang Xiyue also understood what Jiang Yingchun meant when she heard this, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. In her opinion, it always hurts to read more books. Although she has read a lot, it is far more than the load of a country girl, but she was also a showman in the past, although she is not a conscience, but she is not speechless, so she has never had Jiang Yingchun's troubles.
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "This different girl is suitable for learning different things, although I admire Sister Xiyue's talent, but I can't do it like Sister Xiyue, just as Sister Xiyue thinks I can make more money than you." The second sister has always loved the little butterfly, so she naturally knows what the little butterfly is more suitable for, and Sister Xiyue doesn't need to be too sorry. ”
Jiang Xiyue sighed: "What you said is also true, I am crazy." ”
She is bent on running a girls' school, and Little Butterfly is her first student besides her daughter, so she naturally pays more attention. It's just that from the day she went to Fucheng, Little Butterfly was probably destined to miss out on her female school. Thinking of this, Jiang Xiyue is still very regretful. Just looking at Jiang Yingchun's current posture, as long as the little butterfly learns her craft, she will not worry about her vitality in the future.
Jiang Xiyue couldn't help but start thinking, for a woman, is it more important to have enough food and clothing for herself, or is it more important to have a pioneering mind?
When she returned to Gu's house, she couldn't help but ask Jiang Xuehe such a question.
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "If you can't even guarantee food and clothing, how can you open up your thoughts?" People always have to make sure that they are alive before they can seek more things. That's why I think it's important to have a craft that can provide you with food and clothing. Only when you are alive and rich can you go out and see more, and then your horizons will naturally be broadened. ”
Jiang Xiyue nodded thoughtfully, and finally understood why Jiang Xuehe's orphanage wanted to teach children a craft, maybe the women's school she wanted to run should also add this item?
