Chapter 2 Eccentricity
"Mother, I'll do the laundry!" Chu Yuqin stopped thinking and snatched the wooden basin from Yu's hand, "You are already very tired from working in the field, so leave this rough work to me." ”
"No, no! You haven't done rough work all these years, look at your hands, where is the rough work? Just leave it to your mother. Yu said.
After all, the original owner is a big girl, and his hands are not worse than the small jasper of a small family.
Young Master Zheng is the most valuable son of the Zheng family, and the eldest girl ring who stayed by his side, of course, there are many people who stutter, even if it is a good rouge gouache, someone will give it. These hands are indeed squeamish.
However, this is also what Chu Yuqin is satisfied with.
Chu Yuqin saw that the Yu clan was so cautious, and spoke helplessly.
"Mother, are you going to offer me as a bodhisattva? If you can supply it for a while, can you still provide it for a lifetime? ”
As he spoke, when Yu was stunned, he snatched the things in her hand.
"Mother just thinks your hands are so good-looking, if you make it thick, it will be a pity. My mother is sorry for you and doesn't want to wronged you anymore. ”
Chu Yuqin raised his lips and laughed: "This is not a grievance. I'm at home now, and I don't have to look at anyone's face, let alone kneel to anyone. Here I am Chu Yuqin, not Yahuan Yuqin. ”
"It was my father's incompetence that sold you and caused you to live a hard life for so many years." When Yu heard her say this, his heart became even more uncomfortable.
Chu Yuqin originally wanted to comfort the Yu family, but she didn't expect it to remind her of those embarrassing pasts.
She put down the basin in her hand and hugged Yu.
"Mother, I am a slave and a maid in the Zheng family, although there are hardships and difficulties, but there are also gains. I learned a lot at the Zheng family. You'll find out later. ”
If he wants to change the status quo of this family, Chu Yuqin will definitely return to his old business.
If not for them, she would do it for herself.
Now to say this to the Yu family, it is also to make a foreshadowing in advance, and when the Yu family and Chu Dashan ask later, they will say that her skills are all learned in the Zheng family.
"Mother......
Chu Yulan stood pitifully at the door of the kitchen.
"Our cornmeal is gone. There's no way to make a mushyness for my sister tonight. ”
Yu's face was sad, "What can I do about this?" ”
"I will eat whatever my mother eats. If it's gone, it's gone. Chu Yuqin didn't care.
"But mother, you always eat wild vegetables like this, and your body can't stand it. There are still three or four months before the grain harvest, what should I do during this time? I'm afraid that if I can't carry it at that time, everyone will fall. ”
What's more, their family's field is not much in the first place, and the crops grown in that field can't support their whole family, even if they are frugal.
"Tomorrow is market day, I'll go to the city and ask if there is anyone who wants to do laundry, and then I'll take over the laundry. Washing ten pieces and eight pieces can also earn two or three yuan, and cornmeal is three dollars a pound. If you're lucky, you might find a job. ”
Yu thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of a way out.
"Five years ago, I was the eldest girl of the Zheng Mansion, and at that time, I brought back a tael of silver every month, and sometimes a reward of silver or something. Even if you have used some of it over the years, you should have a little bit of silver, right? Or is it that we are separated from the mansion and not even a little money is given to us? ”
When the family was separated, the original owner was beaten by the Zheng family with twenty boards, and he was unconscious in bed, and he didn't know the specific situation of the separation.
"Your grandmother said it was gone." Yu said.
"Even if it runs out, it's not for the people in our family. The uncle opened a shop, the third uncle studied, and those all cost silver. My sister sent so much money back, and my father offered to let my brother go to school, but my grandmother almost broke my father's head. ”
Chu Yulan complained: "My sister's silver has long been tossed away by the mansion. ”
"Erya!"
Yu reprimanded: "What are you doing with your sister telling this?" When the silver is gone, it's gone, and it's the most important thing for us to be together as a family. Now that we are separated, we do our own work, and we don't have to do the heaviest work like before, and we can't even drink enough wild vegetable soup. Forget about the past! ”
"Mother is generous, but I'm stingy." Chu Yuqin said lightly, "Mother, put the clothes here first, and I'll wash them when I come back." ”
"Where are you going?"
When the Yu clan saw Chu Yuqin walking outside, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
She hurriedly took Chu Yuqin's hand.
"Don't go to your grandma. She's so spicy, how are you her opponent? When the time comes, it will be a big trouble, but you will complain, saying that you don't respect the elderly. ”
"My money cannot be wasted. That's my hard-earned money at the risk of my life. They can eat it if they want, at least give an explanation. ”
After Chu Yuqin finished speaking, he strode outside.
"Big Girl......
The Yu clan couldn't stop it, and blamed Chu Yulan, "Look at what you did." What do you do with this for your sister? She was recovering from a serious injury and could not be stimulated. ”
Chu Yulan was aggrieved and pouted.
"I've been holding these words in my heart for a long time. My sister is not an outsider, can't I complain a few words? Besides, it was the money that my sister earned, and she had the right to know where the money went. My sister has been suffering for many years, and she can't even eat corn paste when she comes back! ”
"You're usually so well-behaved, but I didn't expect to cause so much trouble when you make a fuss. No, I'll have to go over and take a look, but I can't make a big fuss. ”
......
The mansion is a little far away from Chu Dashan's house.
Grandma Fang's and grandfather Chu Song lived with the big house and the third room, and the third room has not yet asked for a daughter-in-law, so there is no separation.
The uncle of the big house opened a shop in the city, although it was a little smaller, but the sparrows were small and had all kinds of organs. Even if you start a small business, you can earn a few taels of silver every month.
Fang's youngest son is still studying in a private school, this is an old man, and he looks like something.
However, according to the memory of the original owner, this person is not reading material at all. He spent all day in the city drinking with fox friends and dog friends, and befriended some people with bad behaviors.
It's just that Fang and Chu Song didn't know all this.
"Yo, who is this?" Zhang, who lived next door, looked at Chu Yuqin.
"Healed? Good complexion! Yuqin girl, the Zheng family can't go back, have you thought of other ways out? Li Yuanwai asked me about you a few times, if you are interested......"
Zhang didn't finish his words, and was frightened by the eye knife shot by Chu Yuqin and shut up.
She watched Chu Yuqin enter the courtyard next door and patted her chest, "This stinky girl's eyes are like knives, it's really terrifying." Come on! People don't look down on outsiders, and they still want to marry into a big family to be a young grandmother! ”
The old mansion is different from Chu Dashan's house, their house is a tiled house, and there are almost seven or eight rooms, which does not include the kitchen, thatched house, and utility room.
Fang's was drying vegetables in the yard, and when he couldn't finish eating fresh vegetables, he made them into dried vegetables and kept them for later to eat.
Look at her with a round waist and fat hips, it has become a stark contrast to Chu Dashan's yellow-faced and thin-skinned person.
"Chu Xiaocui, you dead girl, you haven't come out for a long time, do you plan to hatch eggs inside?"
After drying the vegetables, Fang scolded at the people in the room.
"The old lady is a lot old, and she still has to serve you, a money-loser. Your father can earn money, but it's for your brother, get out of the yard for the old lady. ”
Dafang's daughter, Chu Xiaocui, walked out with a new headband, new clothes, and a frown.
"Grandma, Daddy is coming back today. If I get my clothes dirty and my hair messed up, Daddy will think I'm suffering at home! Grandma doesn't want Daddy to be angry, right? Daddy said, I have to take good care of it when I reach the age of kissing, and I can't be like a village girl, so he can't tell me a talented master. ”
"Does your father really want to give you Master Xu Xiucai?"
Fang Clan suddenly lost his breath, and his eyes shone brightly.
"Of course. Dad said, if I take good care of my face and skin, it is possible to find me a lifter. When the time comes, I can help the third uncle! ”
Fang immediately suppressed his anger, "Then don't do it." ”
After speaking, he said angrily: "I knew that I wouldn't be separated." In the past, there was still work for the Dashan family, but now everything has to be done by the old lady. ”
"It turns out that in the eyes of my grandmother, our second room is a slave doing rough work. Also crawled out of your belly, grandma is really eccentric. As soon as Chu Yuqin walked into the door, he heard Fang Clan's words, and he couldn't help but sneer.
