Chapter 6 The Road to Fortune
Looking at the empty stove, Chen Youyi couldn't help but feel angry, but she was also a little helpless. In the final analysis, it was because she lived in Qin Xianzhi's house, and she could find Zeng's family to get back clothes and dishes once, but it was impossible to stare at her all the time.
And this feeling of having a meal without a meal is really bad, Chen Youyi still likes the days when she received her salary from 9 to 5 every day in her previous life......
After sighing silently, Chen Youyi began to clean up the room. Before I knew it, I was busy in the afternoon, Chen Youyi moved a pier and sat at the door, touched her empty stomach and looked into the distance and comforted herself: "It's okay, I just lost weight, didn't I?" But...... Why don't you go up the hill tomorrow? ”
She was talking to herself, but she caught a glimpse of Sister-in-law Lin who was walking this way, and smiled at her hurriedly.
Sister-in-law Lin also smiled back, and the pace under her feet was a little faster. "I roasted some potatoes in the afternoon, so I brought you some."
Chen Youyi didn't say anything polite to her, and took it with a smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law, sister-in-law knows that I'm hungry, right?" It hurts me so much. ”
Sister-in-law Lin was a little embarrassed by what she said, so she only blushed and pushed the bowl into Chen Youyi's arms and said, "Then eat more." ”
Chen Youyi chewed the baked potatoes carefully, thinking that she would have to hide the leftovers for a while, but she saw that Sister-in-law Lin took out a handkerchief and began to embroider it.
Thinking of what she said before that she wanted to exchange the handkerchief for money, Chen Youyi couldn't help but move, and only asked with a smile: "I don't know where the handkerchief embroidered by my sister-in-law is going to be sold?" ”
"Go to the county seat, there are many embroidery villages, and the proprietress is good, and the price offered to me is very fair!" Speaking of things she was familiar with, the smile on Sister-in-law Lin's face was much brighter.
"Oh...... Is the county far from our village? ”
"It's not very far, go out from our West Village Exit, walk along the avenue for half an hour, and then turn a corner." Seeing Chen Youyi asking, Sister-in-law Lin hurriedly asked, "Father...... Do you want to go to the county seat? ”
Chen Youyi nodded, and smiled helplessly: "I have no food and no savings, I want to find an errand to support myself." ”
Sister-in-law Lin opened her mouth in surprise when she heard this, and she didn't say anything for a long time. After all, in her heart, the men who can work in the county are all powerful, let alone women's families!
Although Chen Youyi has a big difference between the past two days and the past, she still doesn't believe that she will go to work in the county seat after eating and drinking all the time.
Chen Youyi didn't care how she reacted, her mind was already full of how to find a job tomorrow and plan for the future.
Because Huzi was left at home alone, Sister-in-law Lin was a little relieved, so she sat down for a while and went back. Chen Youyi thought that she would get up early to go to the county seat the next day, and after cleaning up herself, she also rested early.
The next day, Chen Youyi really got up early in the morning, hastily ate a few baked potatoes and set foot on the road to the county seat. It's just that she is too fat, and her body is very weak, and she has to rest for a while before she can continue, and this stop-and-go is almost noon when she arrives in the county seat.
After walking around the county, she realized that in ancient times, women could find a limited number of jobs. In addition to going to the embroidery village to be an embroidery lady is to go to a restaurant to be a cook, the original owner has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never learned embroidery at all, let alone Chen Youyi. She wanted to go to the restaurant to be a cook or helper, but when the shopkeeper saw her figure, he bluntly said that he was afraid that she would stay in the kitchen and eat secretly.
After wandering around for almost an afternoon and not finding any work to do, Chen Youyi couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Is it really possible to go back to that village and live the life of a primitive person?
The sight collided with the little girl selling silk flowers at the corner of the street, and Chen Youyi's eyes, which had dimmed a little, brightened again. Oh, she can't find a job and she can start her own business!
But here's the problem, she doesn't have the capital...... And the original owner made all kinds of trouble in the village, and the people in the village had long avoided her like a snake and a mouse, and it was impossible to lend her money, so what should she do......
Thinking like this, Chen Youyi couldn't help but feel bitter again. It's not easy to survive in ancient times......
When I raised my eyes again, I saw a little couple standing in front of the stall of the little girl selling bead flowers, and the little lady was entangled in asking for bead flowers, and the man looked at her helplessly and then took out a few copper coins from his belt to buy bead flowers for the little lady.
Looking at the happy appearance of the little lady, Chen Youyi pondered for a while, and the entanglement in her eyes was gradually replaced by firmness, she had no capital, but she could borrow it!
But who to borrow from? As far as her popularity in the village is concerned, people have taken a detour when they see her, how can they lend her money?
Except for Sister-in-law Lin, but as soon as this idea came out, she immediately denied it herself, and it was difficult enough for Sister-in-law Lin to pull Huzi alone......
Suddenly, a figure flashed in his mind, Chen Youyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and after clenching his fists, he firmly turned around and walked towards Xinghua Village next to the county seat.
Qin Ziheng was boiling medicine for his mother Mu Xiulian, but when he heard someone calling him at the door, he hurriedly put down the medicine jar and walked towards the door, but stopped when he saw someone coming, and his eyes gradually became cold.
Looking at his increasingly cold face, Chen Youyi couldn't help but feel a little weak in her heart, and she also took a step back. However, the villagers who led her here didn't know it, and said enthusiastically: "Brother Qin, this girl said that she was your relative and came to look for you." ”
Qin Ziheng looked at Chen Youyi with a cold face, but he was very friendly to the villager, and nodded politely, "Thank you, Brother Yuan." ”
The person who was called Brother Yuan scratched his head with a smile and left, Qin Ziheng then put his eyes back on Chen Youyi and said coldly: "Didn't you promise not to pester me?" ”
Chen Youyi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I didn't ...... I'm not here to pester you, I'm ......"
"And what are you going to do?" Qin Ziheng was very impatient with her, and directly interrupted her.
Seeing him like this, Chen Youyi also suddenly calmed down, looked up at Qin Ziheng and said, "I want to borrow some silver from you." ”
Qin Ziheng hooked his lips when he heard this, and sneered coldly: "Didn't I give you all the money, you have squandered it all the way since you left Beijing, and now what are you going to do?" ”
