Chapter 4 The Qin Family

Shen Xiaoyu knew that Chongxi was not a good thing, and he heard the man and woman on the road say something "funeral" before, and said: "My father is about to starve to death, my mother is no longer there, I heard that Chongxi can get a lot of things." ”

When Qin Zheng heard this, he said, "Do you know what Chongxi is?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Wang Xiuyan said: "Child, this may be dead!" As a result, as soon as the words fell, Qian Yuemei coughed and frowned.

Wang Xiuyan hurriedly stopped her mouth, and then hurriedly said, "Sister, I lost my words." ”

Qian Yuemei's eyes narrowed, looking at Qin Zheng, and her expression had already expressed dissatisfaction. Her son is not doing well, this Wang Xiuyan is cursing her son at this time

"Although it is Chongxi, the Qin family also has a face, and the people outside are confused!" Qian Yuemei said so, the word "funeral" will be passed out, but it will break the lintel of the Qin family.

Qin Zheng had a headache, so he looked at Qian Yuemei and said, "Madam really likes this child?" He also saw that this child was not very likable, but because Wang Xiuyan didn't like this child, Qian Yuemei nodded.

Qian Yuemei nodded slowly and said, "Master, I think this kid is very good." ”

Wang Xiuyan didn't say anything, standing aside, Qin Zheng said: "Then let's see how this family is, if the adults also agree, they will sign the contract." ”

Shen Xiaoyu didn't expect that she would make progress in this matter so quickly, she really thought that a girl like herself really didn't look down on her at first!

Qin Zheng left first, Wang Xiuyan also followed, Qian Yuemei glanced at Shen Xiaoyu, and then glanced at the grandmother beside her.

Mama Su was Qian Yuemei's dowry, and after understanding, she stepped forward and said, "Girl, come here." ”

Shen Xiaoyu stood up from the ground, his knees were a little sore, and when he walked over, he heard Mama Su ask, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Shen Xiaoyu." Shen Xiaoyu reported his name.

"We have to sign a contract later, and when the time comes, whether you are dead or alive, your father and mother can't care, even if you go to the yamen, it's useless, do you understand?" Qian Yuemei asked.

Shen Xiaoyu thought about it and said: "I understand, I'm not afraid of death, but this winter our family really can't get by, the house is leaking, and there is no food, I don't want to die with my father, there must be one alive." After finishing speaking, he knelt down again, his head was on the ground, and said to Qian Yuemei: "Ask Mrs. to accept me, please Mrs. accept me!" ”

Qian Yuemei's eyelids raised and smiled lightly, this child knows who is the hostess in this family, and it is useful to know who to kowtow to.

Mama Su glanced back, and said to Shen Xiaoyu: "You get up first, you are a filial daughter, the master said, look at the situation of your family, if it is really okay, I will set you, and I will not lose your father when the time comes." ”

Shen Xiaoyu hurriedly kowtowed, and said in his mouth: "Thank you, madam!" Thank you, Mama! ”

Mama Su asked Shen Xiaoyu to get up, and then said: "Don't thank me, it's all a gift from our wife, our Qin family has given a lot of things, and your father will be able to be comfortable for a few years at that time, and when he enters this gate in the future, who should he listen to, do you understand?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu didn't understand, and said, "I'll listen to Madame!" ”

Qian Yuemei was satisfied, and then said, "I'm tired, you can ask about the rest of the matter." After saying that, let the maid help her go down first.

Seeing that this lady was gone, Shen Xiaoyu asked Mama Su: "Mama, how much money do you have?" Is it enough to marry a daughter-in-law? She also remembered what her mother said before she died, if she was buried with someone, her father would never be so single, if she was enough to marry a daughter-in-law and have a younger brother and sister, her father would be able to live this day, and she would not be ashamed of her mother.

Mama Su was stunned for a moment and said, "Marry a daughter-in-law? To whom? She seemed to have listened to Shen Xiaoyu's words just now, and the child's mother seemed to be dead.

Shen Xiaoyu nodded: "My father." ”

Mama Su didn't understand, so she said, "Your stepmother won't be good to you." ”

"I will also serve here in the future, and it doesn't matter if my stepmother treats me well or not." Shen Xiaoyu said.

Mama Su was surprised, but she didn't expect this little girl's mind to be very flexible.

"You're a man who understands." Mama Su said with a smile, but she liked Shen Xiaoyu more and more. She also knows what Madame thinks, she is just a girl who is happy to use it, it is not bad to be able to do this, not to mention that the second young master is not really terminally ill, and it will not be easy to show her stuff in the future if she gets such a clear girl. When the second young master grows up in the future, this girl will be useless, and Mrs. will also say a good family affair that is right for everyone.

Shen Xiaoyu told the address of his home to the Qin family's housekeeper who was guarding the door, and by the way, he knew that the family's name was Fu'an, and he became the second housekeeper of the Qin family at a young age.

All the way home, Shen Xiaoyu felt a little uneasy, if the Qin family went to the village, her father would know what was going on, if he knew that he had sold himself, he didn't know if he would kill her.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, many people who came down from the mountain came back with empty baskets, and there was nothing left to eat on the mountain.

When I got home, Daddy Shen had just come down from the roof, and Shen Xiaoyu entered the yard and said, "Dad, there is nothing to eat on the mountain, and we still eat steamed sweet potatoes at night." ”

Father Shen nodded, and then asked, "Why didn't you bring a basket up the mountain today?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu looked at the basket placed at the door and said, "There is nothing, even if there is, we can get it back." So saying, he went to work on the stove.

There is a great drought in the village, and it doesn't rain all the time, and now the water in the village is all dependent on the well at the entrance of the village.

Father Shen took a bucket to the entrance of the village to fetch water, and came back after a while.

"Dad, why did you come back? Is there not enough water? Shen Xiaoyu asked, if the water is broken, then there will be no way to live at all.

Father Shen shook his head and said, "No, the water is still enough, but Erniu's grandmother is gone." ”

"Gone?" Shen Xiaoyu didn't understand it at first, but then she understood, no, she was dead, just like her mother.

"Yes, hungry." Father Shen said, he was also a little flustered in his heart, this has already begun to starve to death before winter, and he doesn't dare to think about what the days will be like in the future.

Shen Xiaoyu didn't make a sound, remembering that she had beaten Erniu for a sweet potato before, and now that she thought about it, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't want to die, and she didn't want her father to die......

The next day, Shen Xiaoyu didn't go up the mountain again, he boiled a big pot of water at home, and there was less and less food at home.

At noon, someone came to the house, and Shen Xiaoyu saw that the person was Fu'an, the second housekeeper of the Qin family, and his heart began to feel empty.

Father Shen didn't know what he was doing here, so he asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

When Fu'an saw Shen Xiaoyu, he pointed and said, "I'm looking for her, are you his father?" ”

Father Shen nodded, then protected the child behind him, and asked Fu'an, "What's wrong with my child?" Isn't it naughty out there?"

Fu'an smiled and said, "No, you are really blessed to have such a filial daughter." ”

Father Shen didn't understand, so Fu'an said directly: "Your daughter said that she was going to our Qin family to Chongxi, and she changed a lot of things for your old man!" ”

Father Shen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Chongxi?" The Qin family? Then he turned around and looked at Shen Xiaoyu.

Shen Xiaoyu was weak and said, "I went." ”

Father Shen was shocked, he couldn't imagine that a ten-year-old child could do such a thing, and hurriedly said to Na Fu'an: "My child doesn't go to Chongxi, what the child says can't be true." ”

Shen Xiaoyu saw that his father was like this, and he expected it in advance, so he said, "Dad, I don't want to die with the two of you." ”

Father Shen slapped Shen Xiaoyu's left cheek and scolded: "You kid, you really don't know life or death, I said I won't go!" ”

Fu'an was also stunned by this slap, looking at Shen Xiaoyu, he felt a little uncomfortable, although he said that he became the second housekeeper of the Qin family at a young age, but when he was as old as Shen Xiaoyu, he seemed to still take urine and mud!

"Don't don't, don't do it yet, such a young child, what's the matter if it's broken?" Fu'an stepped forward to stop him, it's not good that this little girl is the second young grandmother in the future, and he won't be able to go back to pay if he breaks it.

Father Shen pushed Fu'an and said, "I'm his father, it's better for me to kill her than for her to fill in the graves of others!" As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

Shen Xiaoyu covered his left cheek, stood firm, and then said, "Dad, our family has no food." ”

"Daddy will make money to buy food!" Father Shen said.

"Dad, the price of food in the city is almost more expensive than people, and in a few days, I won't even be able to rank Chongxi!" Shen Xiaoyu said.

Daddy Shen was unconvinced: "Dad can go to the back mountain, and he won't die!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu said: "There is nothing to dig up in the back mountain, otherwise Erniu's grandmother would not have died......

Daddy Shen couldn't say a word, this world is like this, everyone lives a difficult life, yesterday was Erniu's grandmother, who knows if there will be people starving to death tomorrow?

Shen Xiaoyu continued: "The house is leaking, and although the thatch is paved, as long as it snows, it will collapse again. ”

Father Shen felt weak, and suddenly sat down on the ground, listening to Shen Xiaoyu say, "Dad, we have no way to live......

Daddy Shen's tears fell, he didn't expect that he would come to this point, and he didn't expect that he didn't even think much about a child.

Fu'an was also a little sad when he watched this, it was quite distressing that a little girl would think so much.

"Our Qin family is also a big family, and we give a lot of things." Fu'an said: "Everyone knows that our Qin family is a well-known good person in Liaocheng. "I don't abuse children either.

Father Shen knew that if this child continued to follow him, he might really starve to death, it didn't matter if he died, but the child was still young, but he sent it to Chongxi, in case the young master of the Qin family really died, wouldn't his daughter also die?

"Girl, that's Chongxi, it's really going to die!" Father Shen said, his voice was also a little choked.

Fu'an looked at Shen Xiaoyu, Shen Xiaoyu thought about it, and said, "Anyway, it's death, I want to die when I'm full, I don't want to be a starving ghost." ”

After Daddy Shen heard this, he howled and cried, Fu'an looked at Shen Xiaoyu, when he saw the girl knocking on the door to sell himself, he could see that this girl was not an ordinary person!
