Chapter 51: The Grace of Dripping Water in the Storm
"Yes, yes, yes." Mother Zhou said five words in a row, took out the deed that had been prepared long ago from her arms and handed it to Liuli.
Liuli took the deed and gave it directly to Amber, who took a closer look and saw that there was no problem, so he nodded to Liuli.
"It's three taels of silver, you take it."
"Hey, good." Mother Zhou happily took the silver, only to hear Liuli say again: "Since Zhou Xiaocao is sold to me, whether she lives well or badly, whether she lives or dies in the future has nothing to do with you." ”
"Naturally, naturally, let her serve Erniang as a girl in the future." Zhou's father also came forward and looked at the silver with Zhou's mother.
Liulifu raised his voice again: "Please also give everyone a witness, Zhou Xiaocao will be a member of my Song family in the future." ”
"Even if you sell yourself, it naturally has nothing to do with the original family."
"Well, if you want me to say that I won't go back to such a home."
"yes." The crowd echoed the gossip.
Liuli was satisfied, and after saying goodbye to everyone, she left with Amber Coral, and Zhou Xiaoshu led Zhou Xiaocao to follow.
Until the gate of the Song family, Zhou Xiaoshu hesitated and didn't know whether to go in, these days he was working in the Song family, how the two sisters and brothers treated him, he knew it in his heart, and he was very grateful, but he really didn't want to sell his sister.
The three of them walked in front, and when they saw that the brother and sister behind them didn't follow up, they turned back again: "Let's go into the house." ”
Coral also ran to take Zhou Xiaocao's hand and pulled the person into the yard. Zhou Xiaocao is introverted, and Coral doesn't have much contact with her on weekdays, probably because of a relationship of similar age, but she can get close quickly.
Amber went to the kitchen first to serve warm food, and then took two pieces of chopsticks: "Brother Xiaoshu, you eat first, I'll go to learn." ”
Where has Zhou Xiaocao ever seen such a good food, she swallowed her saliva unconsciously, Coral pulled her to sit down at the table, and handed her the dishes and chopsticks to her, but Zhou Xiaocao still endured her hunger and looked at her brother.
Zhou Xiaoshu hesitated, and finally nodded at his sister, and the brother and sister began to eat.
After the two of them finished eating, Liuli pulled the two of them to the inner room, and took out the deed of betrayal from his arms: "Give, Xiaocao's deed." ”
"Erniang?" Zhou Xiaoshu was shocked, he was thinking about discussing with Erniang, could he not sell Xiaocao, and he would think of repaying her three taels of silver, but he didn't want Erniang to give them the deed himself.
Liuli smiled clearly: "A free body is more important than anything else, take this body deed back quickly, but don't leak it in front of outsiders, if it reaches your father's ears, it will be troublesome." ”
The moment Zhou Xiaoshu took the deed, tears fell, he couldn't bear to shed a single tear in such a sad and angry confrontation with his father and mother just now, but he couldn't help crying at the moment.
Liuli handed out a handkerchief and said in a mocking tone: "Men don't flick when they have tears." ”
She wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but she didn't want Zhou Xiaoshu in front of her to kneel straight down with a "bang", and then "knock", "knock" and "knock" three heads, it was really loud.
Liuli was shocked: "This is what to do, hurry up, hurry up." ”
"Erniang has a great kindness to my brother and sister." Zhou Xiaoshu not only didn't get up, but also pulled Xiaocao to kneel down together: "Xiaocao, kowtow to your benefactor." ”
Zhou Xiaocao was obedient, and "knock", "knock", "knock" kowtowed three times.
Liuli couldn't bear this, and pulled the two brothers and sisters up one by one: "You kid, I just can't bear to see you being tortured, just help you out, it's worth it for you like this?" ”
"Erniang's efforts have been rebuilt with my brother and sister, although I Zhou Xiaoshu doesn't read much, I also understand some things." Zhou Xiaoshu's voice was solemn and resolute: "In the future, I, Zhou Xiaoshu, will make cattle and horses to repay Erniang's kindness." ”
Liuli really didn't want it, one of her own helpers was exchanged for this child, she really couldn't get used to the style of the Zhou family's parents, and she thought of herself from Zhou Xiaocao's experience of being sold, so she helped.
"Okay, okay, look at the grass you're scared of, go wash your face."
Zhou Xiaoshu went out to wash his face, and also fetched water for Zhou Xiaocao, and the cleaned Zhou Xiaocao was white and clean, and it looked much better.
Although he returned the deed to them in private, Zhou Xiaocao was already a person with Liuli on the surface, so he temporarily settled down in the Song family.
During the day, she helped with the work, and followed her brother step by step. After the fruit dan peel was made, Coral taught her how to pack, and she was busy packing alone.
In the evening, Liuli found the wooden bed where she and Coral had slept again, and laid a cover for Zhou Xiaocao to sleep on.
It's just that in addition to the two main rooms in the east and west plus a kitchen, there is not even a decent wing room in the house, Zhou Xiaocao can only squeeze in the room of glass and coral, and Zhou Xiaoshu and Amber are temporarily squeezed.
In fact, as early as after the demand for fruit dan peel production increased, Liuli deliberately set up two more rooms to be used as a workshop, saving the day and day in the small kitchen crowded.
Now it seems that it is imminent to get up the house, and I will help others to the end, Zhou Xiaocao's family will not be able to go back, it is estimated that I will have to live in the Song family for a while, and I can't always squeeze to sleep.
And in the future, the coral is getting bigger and bigger, and even though it is a sister, it also needs some personal privacy.
The weather was fine, and Liuli picked up some of the new fruit dan peels made in the past two days, filled a small basket, and went out.
She was there to thank her for saving her life that day.
The location of the mansion, she had been going back and forth to the town many times, and she knew the way early, so she went out early in the morning, and arrived as soon as the sun came out.
Ruri knocked on the door, waited for a while, and a crack was opened inside.
"This little brother, I'm here to visit your master." Ruri said politely.
"Who are you?" The porter looked at the glass guardedly.
"I'm from this nearby village, I came here a few days ago, do you remember?"
"I don't remember", the porter unceremoniously chased away, "Let's go, this is not the place you should be." As he spoke, he was about to close the door.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Liuli stopped tightly, "I'm here to thank the master's family, please go and report it." ”
"I don't have time to pay attention to you, hurry up!"
"Hey, you...... Don't close the door" Liuli saw that she was about to be locked out, but she saw an acquaintance with her sharp eyes: "Ace! Ace! ”
The people inside heard their names called, and they walked this way.
"Azer, it's me, I'm here to bring you some food, thank you and Childe for saving me last time. They wouldn't let me in. Ruri said hurriedly.
Ace frowned and glanced at the porter: "Let her in." ”
"This ......," the porter seemed to hesitate.
"What? Can't Childe even want to see a friend? Ace's face turned noticeably colder.
"The subordinates don't dare." The porter immediately solemnized, "Please come in." ”
Liuli entered the door, but she felt an indescribable weirdness in her heart, why did this gatehouse seem to have a lot of power? It is said that the person guarding the door should be respectful in front of the personal guards or servants of the master's house, but this gatekeeper still dares to hesitate after Ace gave the order?
Maybe it's because the rules are different? Liuli said in her heart, didn't think about it anymore, and followed Ace to the inner courtyard.
