Lin Zifu was very embarrassed.

However, Aunt Liao thought of another possibility and said: "In fact, many families want their daughters to become concubines of big families, so they will directly sell long-term workers, after all, it is possible to become a maid in the house, and if you are lucky, you can coax people to become an aunt, so you can be regarded as a lifelong fool." ”

Lin Zifu didn't expect such a thing, but thinking about it, it was really possible, for the maids in the village, it was lucky to be able to have food and clothing without worry in this life.

It's better than marrying a poor family with no food and facing the loess with your back to the sky for the rest of your life.

Aunt Ying knows this best, after all, she has been in the Zhou family for more than ten years, and said: "I am used to living the life of a big family, and then come back to live a hard life in the village, in fact, many maids are unwilling, so while they are still in the house, those maids will try their best to climb the master's bed, and if they succeed for a lifetime, even if they are oppressed by the master's mother, they are willing, which is also a kind of luck, if you are unlucky to meet the master's stinginess, or the days of falling out of favor are not so good." ”

When the time comes, if it is not the yellow flower girl, it is very likely that she will be kicked out of the house.

So this kind of thing is very risky, but for the sake of glory and wealth, many girls are willing to give it a try, which is also the saddest part of the whole thing.

Aunt Liao continued: "In the village, the children of our Aunt Guixiang family chose to do short-term work, and other families all took silver and sold themselves, and the two daughters and one son of Li Caihua's family who came just now were all sold, and you can still see young and strong young men in the village, and there is only He Yunhu, He Yunhu's child has a good heart, Zifu has seen him before?" ”

Lin Zifu smiled and nodded: "Yesterday when I went into the mountain to find a mountain spring, I met him cutting trees, he took us there enthusiastically, and he helped me cut bamboo yesterday afternoon, which is a good person." ”

Aunt Liao agrees with this: "He is indeed a good person, but he is a hard-working person, his father died and there was a mother left long ago, his mother's eyes can't see, so he is doing all the big and small things in the family, he is reluctant to leave his mother, so he has been staying in the village, cutting firewood and selling it in the town on weekdays, sometimes going to the river to fish and selling it in the village for a little silver, a person planted four or five acres of land, what a good child, why no girl is willing to marry him." ”

Lin Zifu could probably guess the reason: "Probably because I don't want to marry and serve a mother-in-law who can't see with my eyes." ”

Aunt Ying sighed: "They are all hard-working people." ”

Aunt Liao suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Zifu, you can go and ask him if he is willing to dig herbs, this is still a good person, and as long as there is an opportunity to make money, I will not let it go, I can help him." ”

Lin Zifu felt that this was a good thing, but she was embarrassed to ask a girl's family, and said embarrassedly: "But I can't go directly to his house, if you think about my identity to find him, I don't know how much gossip will come out of the village." ”

Aunt Liao complained and patted her head, and said embarrassedly: "You see that I am abrupt, it is really inappropriate for you to ask directly, it is better for my aunt to run away in person, you wash the wheat winter, I will go to Yunhu to ask." ”

As soon as Aunt Liao left, Aunt Ying said: "Actually, you are the most unlucky, and you can be regarded as lucky, Mrs. Zhou really wanted to bury you at that time, and now being alive can be regarded as picking up a life." ”

Aunt Ying said this before, and Lin Zifu was very angry every time she heard it, and she was angry that Mrs. Zhou was so ruthless.

"So I have to live well, not only to live well, but also to be beautiful, mother-in-law, do you think the Zhou family will let us go so easily? I always felt that Mrs. Zhou would not give up. ”

I don't know why, but I have this bad premonition in my heart.

After all, Mrs. Zhou wanted to kill her directly, and she didn't believe that Mrs. Zhou would let her go with such kindness.

Aunt Ying shook her head slightly, and she was not sure: "I don't know if she will let us go, the top priority is to make good money, and if she kills us again, we will also have the money to leave here." ”

She couldn't understand Mrs. Zhou, this woman must be ruthless if she wants to say that she is ruthless, she made this ghost in order to save Zhou Mingqi, Mrs. Zhou was not moved at all, and even later wanted to get her out of Zhou's mansion.

Originally, there was such a thing as a secret marriage, and it was completely possible to bury the clothes and birthdays that Lin Zifu often wore with Zhou Mingqi, but Mrs. Zhou originally wanted to let Lin Zifu be buried directly, if it weren't for Master Zhou's temporary soft-heartedness and helping Lin Zifu say a good word, Lin Zifu would definitely be a corpse now.

Lin Zifu pouted dissatisfiedly: "How can you say she can be so bad, in her eyes, human life is so unimportant." ”

Aunt Ying was also in a bad mood and said: "None of the wives of big families are soft-hearted masters, Master Zhou has accepted several concubines, but these concubines either can't give birth to children, or are inexplicably crazy, and in the end, Mrs. Zhou is always the only one in the backyard." ”

This is a living house fight, Lin Zifu thinks, she is really lucky, at least Mrs. Zhou sent her to such a remote place.

The two of them cleaned Mai Dong while talking, and had already cleaned Mai Dong and put it aside to drain the water.

Aunt Liao came back with a smile on her face, and she was still carrying two fish in her hand, one of which was directly given to Lin Zifu: "This is given to you by Yunhu, to thank you for taking him to collect medicine together." ”

Lin Zifu was a little embarrassed: "If you want to say thank you, I also thank him, he helped us so much yesterday, I can't accept this fish." ”

Aunt Liao directly stuffed the rope of the bolted fish into Lin Zifu's hand and said, "You just take it, this is Yunhu's intention, if you don't accept Yunhu, it will be uncomfortable." ”

Aunt Ying said: "Take it, and I'll repay it later." ”

The two fished sauerkraut in the sauerkraut jar of Aunt Liao's house, and then went home with Aunt Ying.

On the way, Lin Zifu hugged the wooden basin, and the fish was placed in the wooden basin, and glanced at the fish and estimated that it weighed two or three catties, and said a little helplessly: "He Yunhu is so enthusiastic, I didn't repay him for helping us cut bamboo last year." ”

She doesn't like to owe favors, and as a result, she doesn't owe or owe, and in the end, the more she owes, the more she owes.

Aunt Ying smiled and said, "The days are still long, and I want to repay the opportunity in the future." ”

This is the case, when I returned home, Aunt Ying cut the fish, and Lin Zifu dried the wheat winter.

The wheat winter on the roof is already a little dry, and it works very well after being exposed to the sun for a day.

After kneading Mai Dong, she dried what she had dug up and dried it in another dustpan and put it on a shelf in the yard to control the moisture.
