Chapter 017: She's Not My Woman

Mo Xiaoxiao was frightened and uneasy all the way, and a gloomy layer of obstacles floated in her heart.

"Old lady, Miss Mo is here."

Master He waved his hand and motioned for Uncle Wang and the others to go down.

He Hongfu looked Mo Xiaoxiao at a loss with an expressionless face, as if he wanted to see through her whole person.

Seeing Mrs. He's kind eyes and smiling face, Mo Xiaoxiao calmed down a little.

"You're the girl Yuwen brought back? It's called Mo ...... What's the matter?

Faced with He Hongfu's unsmiling and serious questioning, Mo Xiaoxiao didn't dare to look at his eyes, and just replied softly. ”

"Master, it's Mo Xiaoxiao."

"Oh, Mo Xiaoxiao, where do you live, what do your parents do, how old are you this year, why did you leave home, and what is the relationship with Yuwen, I hope to hear your honest answer."

"Back to my lord, my home is in Lianxiang Town, which is far away from here, my father has already passed away, my mother remarried when I was very young, I was just sent to my uncle's house since I was a child, and then my uncle's house ......"

Mo Xiaoxiao didn't continue, her voice getting quieter and quieter......

"Go on, I'll finish talking about 1510."

Faced with Master He's upright attitude, Mo Xiaoxiao had to continue.

"Later, my uncle's family fell into the middle of the road, and I was desperate, so I thought of coming to Bizhou City to join my mother, but I didn't know where she lived, and the money was also taken away by pickpockets, and then if it wasn't for Young Master He to relieve the siege, I might have been beaten and scarred beyond recognition, and then ended up on the streets."

"Are you all serious?"

Mo Xiaoxiao nodded violently, and the tearful appearance made Mrs. He feel pity.

"Master, I don't think this girl is lying, and what happened to her is too pitiful......"

"You really don't have the slightest idea about my son?"

Master He continued to speak.

"No, Young Master He is young and promising, and I don't dare to climb high. Just begging for a temporary place to stay, and finding the news of my mother, I will repay it with a spring. ”

"Why should I take you in? If I were to take in all the refugees and beggars in Bizhou City, who were homeless on the streets, wouldn't my family become a refugee camp? ”

"Alas, sir, this ......"

Mrs. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by He Hongfu reaching out.

"Master He, rest assured, Mo Xiaoxiao is not the kind of person who eats and drinks for nothing, before I found my mother, I begged Mrs. He to give me a chance to do a free long-term job in the He family, I am willing to do anything, I was born in the countryside and did all the dirty and tiring work, so I can also feel at ease."

"Yes, yes, that's acceptable, but are you really willing to do anything?"

"Hmm!"

"Okay, from today onwards, you will be the free long-term worker of the He family, how about going to the side courtyard to wash some clothes, chop some firewood, and wash some filth?"

"Master, this ......"

Mrs. He was a little unbearable, but it was difficult to interject when she saw that He Hongfu was serious.

"I do."

He Yuhua knew Master He's temper, and after watching Uncle Wang hurriedly call Mo Xiaoxiao away, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and the only way was to move the rescuers.

The wharf is still full of people coming and going, the mountains and rivers are intertwined with picturesque clouds, the sails on the water are like white sharks that have turned their stomachs, immersed in a lake of ink, the red sun in the distance is slowly rising from the horizon, everything has just woken up and experienced a long night and loneliness.

He Yuwen stood at the wharf, arranging and organizing the short-term workers to carry the goods on the ship in an orderly manner, while talking with customers from the West. He frowned for a while, suddenly brightened up, was silent for a while, and talked eloquently.

I have to say that He Yuwen is much better than He Yuhua in this regard.

He Yuhua searched around in the crowd for He Yuwen's figure, He Yuwen's height of one meter eighty-five and his extraordinary temperament and dress are not difficult to find, and after a while, He Yuhua found He Yuwen's figure on the dock.

"Hey brother, why are you here, let me look for you for a long time......"

He Yuhua panted.

"What's the matter, nothing important will be said later, I'm talking about business."

He Yuwen first smiled politely at the Western customer, and then turned his head and said to He Yuhua seriously.

"Yes, there is something, the girl you brought back was brought over by her father and mother this morning, it is estimated that there is more luck and less luck, and Dad's mean and stinky face will definitely not be polite to her, you better go back and have a look."

He Yuwen's face sank, his brows tightened, and he looked at He Yuhua gloomily and said seriously: "He Yuhua, do you know that I am talking about business now, and you will also disturb me about these small things, I see that you have less confinement, right?" ”

He Yuwen's voice was not loud, but his tone was sharp, and it was obvious that he was already angry, with a cold and frosty face.

After speaking, he turned his head again, still smiling and continuing to talk to the Western merchants, as if nothing had happened.

"He Yuwen, you are too ruthless, she is not your woman, so you don't care about me."

He Yuhua angrily threw out this sentence angrily at He Yuwen, who was facing away from him, and then walked away.

He Yuwen is always so calm and sensible, a person who does not change his face no matter what happens and puts his emotions in his heart, while He Yuhua has all his emotions written on his face, and he is a person who does not know how to hide.

Compared with He Yuwen's wisdom and calmness, He Yuhua's irritable and straightforward nature is simply childish like a child......

He Yuwen glanced at He Yuhua, who was striding away angrily, with a trace of loss in his heart.

He has too much helplessness, he must be more sensible than He Yuhua, he can't be as fearless as him, he can do everything regardless of the consequences, he can think about nothing without hesitation.

He knew that his father must have been persuaded by his mother, and he would not embarrass Mo Xiaoxiao much, and he also knew that even if he left everything like this now, it would not help but make his father misunderstand, how to make this list of business and customers good, so he had to be calm, he had to be ruthless and boring.........

Mo Xiaoxiao was washing a large basin of clothes in the side courtyard, and the water with autumn was so cold that it was cold to the bone, and her hands were red, even then she was willing.

A thinly dressed figure kept rubbing these clothes against the slight cold under the inky clear sky, and the water from the well poured some ancient cold air at the bottom of the well.

He Hongfu and his wife watched quietly at the pillar, how he spoke with the same warm face, Mrs. He on the side was a group of kind, sometimes looking at her husband and sometimes looking at the girl, she knew her husband, a hot heart, a cold face.

It is said that husband and wife are soul mates, and they spend long nights and years together, and they understand each other even, let alone a couple with deep love.

When He Yuhua rushed home, it was already past noon, and he anxiously asked Uncle Wang as soon as he got home.

"Uncle Wang, what about Miss Mo, my father didn't drive her away, did he?"

Uncle Wang shook his head: "Little master, don't worry, no, I just arranged for Miss Mo to do some laundry and cooking chores." ”

"Oh, it's good if you don't. Where is she now? ”

He Yuhua seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his expression was a little relaxed, and he continued to ask.

"In the side yard."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yuhua ran over, and his mood was much more relaxed.

Mo Xiaoxiao finished washing a lot of clothes, and after breakfast, he began to clean the toilet again.

The stinky smell is smoky, the black smoke is miasma, Mo Xiaoxiao is used to it, her expression is calm, it is not the first time she has done this kind of thing, she is often called by her aunt to pick up dung and plant crops at this time.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."

He Yuhua was smiling, still cynical, and ran in front of the door. As soon as he entered the door, he immediately covered his nose, retched, and hurriedly stepped aside.

"Oh, I said sister-in-law, why did my dad let you do this, this stinks, I'll go tell my dad, no, I'm going to throw up."

Mo Xiaoxiao didn't dare to step forward when she saw He Yuhua's big reaction, but she was embarrassed on the side and smiled far-fetched.

"Alas, little master, get out of here quickly, I can do it if it's okay, I can't go to your house for nothing, I can't go out of my heart for eating and drinking for nothing, these are all easy jobs, I can do it, you go out quickly."

"My brother is too boring, no, sister-in-law, you have to go back with me, wash it, it's too smelly."

"I, I'll be done right away, or you can go out and wait for me first."

"Okay, you hurry up ......"

He Yuhua really couldn't stand the smell and hurriedly ran out.

After a while, Mo Xiaoxiao was busy, and went to rinse again, only to find that there was no change of clothes. I had to go out in that dress again.

He Yuhua was holding a birdcage and was teasing a parrot at the gate.

"Alas, sister-in-law came out, you are still wearing this clothes, alas, it stinks, so I will go to my brother's room and get a piece of clothing with you, you can wear it first!"

"Alas, don't ............"

Before Mo Xiaoxiao could react, He Yuhua ran fast, ran into He Yuwen's house with a smoke, and stuffed the birdcage into Mo Xiaoxiao's hand.

Mo Xiaoxiao also teased the parrot, but this parrot knows the master, no matter how she teases, it arrogantly ignores her.

"Alas, I said that you also think that this guy thinks I stink, isn't it, isn't it a little guy......"

"Sister-in-law, you go and change it first, change your clothes and wash them, my brother won't blame you."

When Mo Xiaoxiao was teasing the parrot, He Yuhua, a good guy, had already come out with a piece of clothing.

Mo Xiaoxiao naturally didn't dare to accept it, and shirked it again and again.

"I don't want it, you put it back quickly, otherwise your brother will find out and he will pick your skin later."

"Oh, sister-in-law, hurry up and go in and change, you will be disgusted by my brother like this, he has a habit of cleanliness and loves cleanliness, so he will like it if you are clean."

"I ........."

He was pushed into the room and closed the door again.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up and change it, I'll give you the wind outside the door."

Mo Xiaoxiao was puzzled for a while.

"Why do I want him to like it, it's impossible for me to be with him, and it has nothing to do with it, it's really ........."

The arrow on the string had to be released.

Looking at this formation, Mo Xiaoxiao had no choice but to change it.

This is He Yuwen's white shirt with a tunic, the fabric is delicate and soft, the workmanship is fine, and the design is beautiful and generous.

Although Mo Xiaoxiao wore it on her body, it didn't fit to her thighs, it was too wide, but it lined her skin very well.

Mo Xiaoxiao came out of the house, but He Yuhua was shocked, and she was as pure and beautiful as a hibiscus in the water.

"It's so good-looking, my sister-in-law is really beautiful, my brother's second most beautiful man doesn't look so good."

"Then who is the first beautiful man?"

Mo Xiaoxiao also learned to tease him.

"Of course it's me."

He Yuhua said with pride on his face.

Just then, the gate outside the courtyard opened.

"Squeak......

He Yuwen appeared in front of the two with a heavy face.........
