Chapter 141: Temptation

Star fruit was strictly guarded, and in order to prevent Erya from coming to his eyes, he did not hesitate to offend Qiao Kangcheng again. But she didn't expect that Erya would be able to gain a firm foothold in her territory without passing through her and making a sound.

Erya, who was wearing an apron to cook for the hired workers, also saw the star fruit, she greeted the star fruit with a big rice spoon, and her sweet smile showed intimacy: "Sister star fruit is back, I will serve you rice." ”

Now that she has torn her face, how can star fruit still believe that she is sincerely begging for a living?

The meal was quickly served, and just looking at the side dishes on it, the star fruit could tell that she was flattering herself.

Is it necessary?

Carambola put the rice bowl aside, and while concentrating on processing the gastrodia, she said to Erya without raising her head: "You go, I don't need you here." How long have you been here, and I will pay you according to the day. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work!" Er Ya leaned against the pillar beside the star fruit, played with her nails and smiled: "When Second Brother Yang hired me, he patted his chest and packed the ticket, if anyone dares to pick me up, he will be in a hurry." If I had been driven away without a mistake, he would have paid me a hundred taels of silver. ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at the star fruit with a smile, and her voice dragged smug: "If you want to drive me away, you go to settle Yang Xu first, and then prepare a hundred taels of silver for me." ”

Star fruit stopped her movements and looked up at her with a frown.

"What are you looking at me like that?" Erya giggled, crisp and loud: "I have a contract written by Second Brother Yang in my hand, if you don't compensate me, I will go to the county government to sue you." I know that you have a relationship with Master Qin, but no matter how much you have a relationship, he will not dare to blatantly shield you. ”

After Erya finished speaking, she twisted her body and left, and before leaving, she glanced at the food she was serving, and smiled charmingly: "I ordered croton, you must not eat it." ”

That arrogant appearance really makes the roots of people's teeth itch.

Star fruit also glanced at the meal, shook his head heavily, and then seriously dealt with the wild gastrodia.

is a villain, how can she be as important as her wild sky.

Star fruit has been busy, according to its own ideas to prepare the soil, adjust the humidity, temperature before washing hands and ready to eat. When she was busy, she had forgotten about Erya, but when she saw the bowl of rice again, star fruit thought about it again.

She looked at the food with great interest, and finally came to the conclusion that the salt of the roasted cabbage was a little too much, and the green onions in the stewed meat were not fully cooked. As for high-end seasonings such as croton, Erya is pure bragging.

"I thought I had a lot of courage, but I didn't dare to make mistakes easily and show my handle!"

The star fruit ate fragrantly, and then called Yang Xu to come over and talk.

When he came, his face was covered with sweat, and he looked so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. When he saw star fruit, he wiped his face with his sleeves and smiled at the star fruit with a full face: "But what do you have to order?" Third sister, just say that I'm still relatively idle here. ”

Are you still free after all this?

Carambola handed her a sweat towel, poured him a bowl of water and brought it over, and after hesitating for a moment, she still asked, "You and Erya, do you have a special agreement?" ”

Yang Xu was so tired that his mouth was dry and he didn't care about drinking water, and he refused to let go of the water bowl when he was holding it, and his posture of drinking water was quite arrogant. So as soon as the carambola's words came out, Yang Xu, who was pouring water, choked directly, and coughed for a long time without relieving himself.

Carambola smiled helplessly, and was busy patting him on the back: "You drink slowly, I won't rob you!" ”

It was easy to breathe a sigh of relief, Yang Xu straightened his waist and looked at the star fruit inexplicably and said: "Erya and you have been friends for a few years, I don't look at anyone's face, and I can't ignore your reputation, right?" ”

"Without her, can you ruin my reputation?"

"You don't even need your junior sister to ask for the door, if you want to spread it, you are ruthless, right?" After Yang Xu finished speaking, he realized that the attitude of star fruit was not quite right, so he frowned again and asked carefully: "You actually don't want to use her?" ”

Carambola looked back at him seriously, couldn't bear him to blame himself too much, shook his head and said: "Employing people is employing people, and signing such a deed is a bit too much." With such a talisman in her hand, she is inevitably unassuming and arrogant! ”

"Eh, that's what you said!" Yang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a glow between his eyebrows: "I didn't want to write it originally, but I really can't do it if I don't sign it." ”

He pulled the bamboo chair and sat down, and after taking a sip of tea, he said to the star fruit: "There are many people here, and we run to the mountains all day long, and from time to time there are people who are hot and cold, and scratch their hands and feet; Occasionally, people are bitten by snakes or insects, or touch poisonous weeds that should not be touched.

Uncle Zhou is very good at medicine, but he mostly looks for medicine in the mountains, either he just looks at the mountains, the water, the wind and the rain, or he can't get out of the stacks of books. It is rare to count on him to see a doctor and take medicine. Most of the Lang Lang he invited were with him, and he left after resting. ”

Yang Xu sighed helplessly, took another sip of water and said, "Can't have an accident, can't make a mistake, we have to treat it tightly." I was worried, but the second girl came to the door and cured several on the spot, which can be regarded as a great help.

When I asked again, people came to look for work, and they could cook and clean up the house, and they didn't ask for much wages. It's hard for me to find such a hired worker with a lantern, so naturally I am full of promises. ”

"What about the deed?" After all that, star fruit still didn't understand why she was privileged.

Yang Xu sighed and said: "On the second day after Erya came, a mountain opener let the snake bite. Erya took a knife to bleed, and I didn't know if I was scared or what, the cut was a little big, and the man couldn't stand the pain and slapped Erya twice. In order to prevent the remaining poison from being clear, there was more poisonous blood in the back, and the man complained of dizziness after wrapping the wound.

His relatives and friends felt that Erya deliberately manipulated him, arrested Erya and scuffled, and forced me to drive people away. Erya was beaten and scolded, and cried into tears, and knelt on the ground to beg them to be considerate of her. Her family situation is not good, and if she can't earn money to go home, her family will not be able to accommodate her. ”

Yang Xu looked up at the eyes of the star fruit, and asked her with some sadness and pity: "She is like this, can I still protect her?" In order to reassure her, I wrote her the deed. ”

Hearing this, star fruit could only say secretly: Good means!

The villager is simple in the end, you saved his life, and there are not many people who can still coerce relatives and friends to be unforgiving to you. Moreover, before the workers entered the mountain, the king had to lead people to drive away the beasts and spread medicine to ward off poisonous snakes and insects. Even the workers themselves are also equipped with insect repellent powder.

Even if you can't prevent it from being bitten by a snake, Uncle Zhou and seven or eight Lang Zhong are still on the mountain, how can you go to the grass hut under the mountain where there is no doctor at all? Even if you can't find Zhou Lang and others for a while, the place where everyone is going should be Lang Zhong's house!

Star fruit told Yang Xu about his doubts, and Yang Xu's face stiffened when he heard it.

Carambola smiled slightly: "Erya and I used to have an unpleasant quarrel over trivial matters, she came to me last time to ask for work, and I rejected her!" ”

"She's not here for the money?" Yang Xu understood, and his face turned pale directly: "Then what should I do?" Now let her go, and get a hundred taels of silver. ”

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, anyway, you keep more snacks. Don't make a mess. ”

For many days after that, it was very quiet. Erya not only didn't make trouble, but also did her best, and was also kind and kind to people, and she had contact with people, and most of them liked her.

Not only that, but she always helps people. Since she came, few people have no need to worry about fever, serious colds, minor injuries and illnesses. The most important thing is that she never collects cash, not even medicine money.

The others didn't want to give it, so she smiled kindly: "I picked these herbs in the mountains, and I didn't spend a copper plate." You really want to be grateful, and you should also thank the star fruit, this mountain of medicinal herbs is hers. ”

So Yang Xu was stunned: How can such a humble and kind person be a bad person? It must be that the star fruit is cautious, and she still remembers the old hatred of the previous years, and she has a prejudice against Erya.

Hey, woman, it's trouble!

Yang Xu shook his head, and no longer put his eyes and thoughts on Erya.

Star fruit is so busy that her feet don't touch the ground all day long, and she naturally doesn't know much about these little things. In fact, the people in the village are also very concerned about Yang Miao, especially her family affairs.

In the middle, it was headed by Aunt Zhang, who had been mentioned by Erya.

As soon as they saw Zhang's family, they inquired enthusiastically, and when they met Yang Miao, they also looked up and down with scrutinizing eyes, and then took her hand and asked her what kind of man she liked.

Every now and then, Yang Miao is so ashamed that she has no face; Every time a matchmaker comes to introduce an 'unsatisfactory' family affair, Yang Miao is so angry that she stomps her feet.

In fact, she is really jealous of star fruit, even if she knows that her relatives should be together, but every time she experiences these experiences and looks back at star fruit, she is so jealous that she almost goes crazy.

In particular, Erya once again talked about Yang Chunxiao's evaluation of her two brothers in front of her; In particular, she was under the window of star fruit, and heard with her own ears that star fruit was very hesitant to use her two elder brothers.

At that time, she thought: Who would really be good to herself? Star fruit's current actions are a little sincere, maybe like Erya, it is just a use and calculation for them?

Although the two elder brothers still became stewards later, Yang Miao had already lived up to his previous gratitude.

On this day, the star fruit came back from outside, and Yang Miao greeted him and said mysteriously: "Tao'er, I have something to tell you." ”

Star fruit was originally in a hurry to read, but since Yang Miao came, she could only push back the matter of reading.

As soon as she let people into the house, Yang Miao closed the door with her backhand, and said with a red face: "Tao'er, Aunt Zhang next door told me to kiss me." Her maiden nephew, a talent in the middle of the year before last. ”

Carambola thought to herself: What about Master Qin? Not long ago, you were still ambitious, you must study hard, work hard to change, and do your best to make the Master like you?

Although he thought so, he could see that Yang Miao's blushing face was full of satisfaction, and star fruit could no longer mention Master Qin. After all, Master Qin has no intention of Yang Miao now, and what will happen in the future is even more uncertain.

So, she carefully asked the man's character, family background and other conditions, and felt that although he was not from a superior family, it was more than enough to match Yang Miao, and it was no wonder that Yang Miao was happy.

Carambola was also happy for her, and said with a smile: "So, I really have to congratulate the second sister." ”

Yang Miao smiled on her face, but her heart sank suddenly: Congratulations? She really never thought of helping me please Master Qin, she really felt that I was not worthy of Master Qin at all.
