Then he turned back to the little girl and asked, "Is what he said true?" ”

The little girl cried, "I've already returned all the money to them, but they don't want the money, they have to be me." That old man is in his 60s, and he can't do it anymore, but he wants me to be a little one. How will I live in the future? ”

"You girl, you have no conscience when you speak. When you need help, and people pay to help you, you have to keep your promise, and now you say that if you give the money to others, you can redeem yourself and run? The big man pointed at her and scolded.

The little girl knelt down in front of Chen Youyi with a plop, grabbing her skirt, "This young lady, you must save me and make the decision for me, I have really returned the money to them, I really don't want to stay in that family, if I stay." It's good that the old man is alive, if he dies, I don't want to be bullied to death by the big house, the wife of his family is only notoriously vicious. If you really let me go back, you might as well let me die here. ”

She frowned again, this matter had nothing to do with her, but she couldn't take a step inexplicably, so she said to the big man, "Although she has already returned the money to you, then let her go, she is still a little girl in her teens, and the old man is in his 60s, won't this ruin this child's life?" ”

The big man, seeing her open to intercede, was not angry or annoyed, "If this lady wants to stand up for her, it is not difficult, my lord said, she borrowed ten taels of silver at the beginning, but she also repaid it." But the old man's family wants people not to have money, and there is no shortage of money for him. ”

"But being a master is not a pure wicked person, if anyone really wants her, take out another twenty taels of silver and take the person away without any accountability."

"Twenty taels? Inside and out, didn't he earn these 20 taels of silver for nothing? It's much higher than this usury. Chen Youyi felt that they were a little too much.

But the big man refused to give in, "My lord also said the same, if the lady really wants to come forward and get the money, it's simple." If you can't get the money, get out of the way, I don't know my mother, and I don't want to embarrass you, just let me take her away. ”

"I don't want to go back, even if I die here, I will never go back, Miss, please save me, you must save me." The little girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously.

Chen Youyi suddenly thought that when she was away, her mother-in-law was always alone at home, and she could take out 20 taels of silver by herself.

agreed, "I'll pay for her." ”

The big man was stunned for a moment, and looked Chen Youyi up and down again, "What this lady said is true?" ”

"Since I say it, it won't be fake. Come and take the money from me. After that, Chen Youyi took him to the breakfast shop, and the sister-in-law of the jungle brought 20 taels of silver to him to count in person.

The big man was reasonable, and after weighing the silver, he said with a smile, "Then this little girl will be yours." Then he said to the girl, "Now that you have met a noble person, you must repay them well in the future." ”

After the big man left, the little girl knelt in front of Chen Youyi again, and kept kowtowing, "This young lady saved me, and Xiaolian will repay the young lady for saving her life by being a cow and a horse in the future." ”

"Get up quickly, there is not so much politeness in front of me. Your sister-in-law, I remember that when I came here a few days ago, I left a set of old clothes here, although they are older, they should be able to wear them, you take out the clothes and let her change them first. ”

Your sister-in-law agreed to go to the back and take out her clothes, and helped the little girl scrub and change her clothes.

Chen Youyi was sitting in the outer hall drinking tea, and when Xiaolian came out, she glanced up and down, and said with a smile, "What a beautiful embryo, so white and so cute." In the future, you will follow me, although I am not as good as the old lady of a rich family, but at least you can be guaranteed to eat and wear, and if you have the ability to do something at home, you can help run errands and do some work, and it will not be in vain for me to buy you back. ”

Xiaolian knelt down in front of her again, "In the future, I will do whatever Miss asks me to do, and I will only listen to Miss in everything." Don't ask for wealth and wealth, just ask for the lady to give her stuttering. ”

"How many times have you said it, hurry up, you don't have to make such a big salute in front of me, I'm just a common person like you, get up quickly."

Xiaolian stood up from the ground with a smile on her face, she smiled cutely, and Chen Youyi liked her more.

"Qin Niangzi, do you want to stay here today?"

"No, Xianggong went to join the army, only my mother was alone at home, I don't worry, it's still early, I'd better go back, and I'll leave the matter here at the breakfast shop to you."

She then got up and rushed to the village with Xiaolian.

On the way, Chen Youyi asked again, "What did you just say your name?" ”

"My name is Li Xiaolian."

"It turned out to be called Xiaolian, but this seems to be a bit inappropriate, your name is Xiaolian, and my mother-in-law's name is Mu Xiulian, so she must be uncomfortable in her heart." My friend frowned and pondered about it.

"Don't be afraid, miss, you can change my name, it's okay not to call Xiaolian, in fact, I didn't call this name before. Actually, my mother sold me to the old man, so she changed my name. Xiaolian said in a low voice.

Chen Youyi took her hand, "In the future, we will be with me, we will all be a family, don't be too restrained, just treat my family as your home." When I get to the house, I mainly take care of my mother-in-law, and if you don't mind the name, I'll help you change one. ”

As she spoke, she thought, "I don't have any nice names, or it's simpler." Let's call it Li Xiaoxue, I like snow, how about it? ”

She smiled and nodded, "From then on, my name will be Xiaoxue, thank you Miss for giving such a nice name." ”

"Don't call me Miss in the future, I'm not a Miss. It's not appropriate for you to call me by my name, I have a younger brother at home, and he calls me sister-in-law all day long, so you can also call me sister-in-law with him. Chen Youyi said.

Xiaoxue blinked curiously, "Then that younger brother of yours is older or younger than me?" ”

"I'm younger than you, I'm only eight years old this year, but I'm not at home, I study with a gentleman in the mountains, you can't see him on weekdays, and when he comes down from the mountains, I'll introduce you two to each other." It's good if you call his brother my sister-in-law. ”

In Chen Youyi's eyes, she didn't have such a deep concept of class, and she never used Xiaoxue as a girl.

Xiaoxue has become an orphan, and when she was brought home, she was already thinking about treating her like a family member, so she didn't care too much about being called.
