"Young lady, there is a person who claims to be the niece of Aunt Wei who is asking to see her outside." Zhu Qiao listened to the report from the porter, hesitated for a moment, and still told Ruan Xiaoman.

Niece?

Aunt Wei's relatives?

"Let Aunt Wei go and meet." Ruan Xiaoman agreed without much thought.

When Aunt Wei heard that a niece came to see her, she didn't believe it, but when she saw someone, she felt that it looked a little similar to her eldest brother, and that's it.

Looking at the man in his twenties, with a sad face, wearing an indigo linen dress, combing the woman's hair in a bun on his head, and pinning it with a wooden hairpin, he was no different from an ordinary country woman.

Aunt Wei couldn't help but think that her brother and sister-in-law wanted to marry her to Zhang Er Mazi for a small dowry, if she hadn't sold herself, I was afraid that it would be like that for the rest of her life.

"Auntie." Wei Yumei shouted stubbornly, but she was not afraid that Aunt Wei would doubt her background, but she heard her parents occasionally mention that there was such an aunt, saying that she was sold to the Sun family in Qingyang.

"Don't call me aunt yet, let me ask you, where are you from? How did you find it here? "Aunt Wei is not old and confused, and when such a niece suddenly appeared, her first reaction was that she was weird.

"Auntie, my name is Wei Yumei, I am just twenty this year, my parents are from Luohewan, and I later fled to Ishikawa County, I was born in Ishikawa County. When I was fifteen years old, I married Qingyang, and because I had nothing to do for three years, my parents were hit hard and went away one after another. My brother and sister-in-law couldn't tolerate me, so I had to beg for a living outside, and then I heard that my aunt was still alive, so I searched all the way. The more Wei Yumei spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and choked up.

My brother and sister-in-law couldn't tolerate it, Aunt Wei felt very uncomfortable, and she sold herself because her brother and sister-in-law couldn't tolerate it.

Although this is her own choice, the bigger reason is because of the persecution of her brother and sister-in-law, is this retribution now?

"Do you have any proof?" Aunt Wei was still skeptical.

"Yes, this peach comb was left to me by my father, and he said that this peach comb was originally a dowry for you, but it turned out to be ......" Wei Yumei hurriedly took out a peach comb, and there was a peach character engraved on it.

This wooden comb she didn't want was unlucky, but the family couldn't afford any dowry, and she didn't have the money to replace it with a new one, so it was difficult to use it.

Unexpectedly, one day this wooden comb would become a token, and she wished that it would be returned to its original owner.

Aunt Wei took the peach wood comb handed to her by the maid, and there was indeed a peach character on it.

She still engraved this word, no one in the family knew the words, and the words she learned were taught by that person, but unfortunately they were not related.

"What are you coming to me for? I'm just sending someone under the fence, and I can't help you or anything. Aunt Wei sighed, she didn't have feelings for this niece, she just pitied her experience.

"Auntie, I just want to have something to eat, and I don't dare to hope for anything else." Wei Yumei said loudly, but she didn't believe what Aunt Wei said was just sending people under the fence, how could there be a maid under the fence?

And the furnishings of this room look very magnificent, but it doesn't look like a room where people live.

Aunt Wei looked at Wei Yumei and looked at the things in the room, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She only sees the scenery on the surface, but she can't feel the uneasiness in her heart.

It is already a great blessing that his kindness can be exchanged for stability for the rest of his life.

In fact, without her guidance, Ruan Xiaoman can still make rouge gouache, and it may take a little detour, but in the end it will definitely be better than the craftsmanship in her pocket.

And she is a principled person, in the end, Aunt Wei still wants to help her niece, but she is afraid that Ruan Xiaoman will not agree.

"I'll give you some silver, you take the money to find a better livelihood, whether you want to marry in the future or have other plans to do it yourself." Aunt Wei thought about it and finally made a decision.

"Auntie." Wei Yumei shouted in disbelief, but quickly covered it up again, "How can I marry someone like this, who will want me to be divorced after three years of nothing, is it possible that I want to be a stepmother?" I don't want to be a stepmother, in case I meet an unscrupulous descendant who has no conscience, and when I am old and useless, I will come to discard me, who will I cry to.

As for finding a job, I haven't suffered anything, but that meager salary can't even eat, let alone live, my aunt and niece are really desperate to come to you. ”

Aunt Wei was a little soft-hearted by her crying, and was thinking about whether to beg Ruan Xiaoman, but when she looked up, she saw Ruan Xiaoman and Zhu Qiao coming in one after the other.

"I heard that Aunt Wei has a niece, I thought you should finish talking about the old days, so I came over to take a look, why did you cry? Loved ones should be happy to meet. Ruan Xiaoman helped Aunt Wei back to her seat, sat down beside her, and looked at Wei Yumei carefully.

Wei Yumei knew that Ruan Xiaoman was not a good master to get along with, so she couldn't help but raise her spirit to deal with it, and told her life experience again, and finally knelt down to Ruan Xiaoman, "The slave and maid dare not ask the young lady to provide for the slave and the maid to support the slave and maid, and only ask the young lady to take in the slave and maid for a few days, so that I can serve in front of my aunt for a few days, so as to fulfill my filial piety." ”

"Since I want to be filial, I naturally have no reason to stop it, but the rules in this house are not to raise idlers, Aunt Wei is kind to us, we raise her, but you, if you live, you can live with Aunt Wei, if she is not used to living with you, then you go to live with other people, as for what you should do, I will let the housekeeper arrange it." Ruan Xiaoman said without thinking.

Then he didn't look at Wei Yumei much, but talked to Aunt Wei for a while and left.

is really ruthless, Wei Yumei thought that Ruan Xiaoman would pretend to be more or less pretending to let her experience the feeling of being served.

"Auntie, niece wants to talk to you about something intimate." Wei Yumei rolled her eyes, stood up, and said to Aunt Wei flatteringly.

Aunt Wei hesitated for a moment, and then let the maid next to her retreat.

"That young lady doesn't even give you face, and one of my guests really uses me as a slave." Wei Yumei couldn't help but mutter.

"What kind of guest are you? Don't say anything like this in the future, it's not like my sister is still not idle when she comes to live here. Aunt Wei's face turned pale, and she said coldly.

There is still a little regret in her heart, she has long had no hope for that family, and she still wants any family affection, so she is afraid that she will hit her feet with a stone.

But Ruan Xiaoman had already opened his mouth to keep her down, so Aunt Wei had to kindly advise her.

Wei Yumei listened to Aunt Wei's words, her face was scornful, she was extremely embarrassed, and she was busy admitting her mistake.

It's just that Ruan Xiaoman is so ruthless, I'm afraid I can't get close to her, I'm afraid that the person's entrustment can't be done, and Aunt Wei can't count on it, she is really a little unwilling.
