Chapter 7: "Selling Yourself to Bury Your Mother"
In the following days, Ling Xiaoxiao still stayed at home honestly as before, extremely well-behaved, on this day, just after dinner, Ling Xiaoxiao took the initiative to take over the housework of washing dishes, A-Niang smiled very comfortingly on the side, "Our little ones have finally grown up." ”
Ling Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and replied, "Ah Niang, when you say this, it makes me feel very disobedient before." ”
"You didn't worry much about it anyway."
Ah Niang poured a cup of tea, and after Ling Xiaoxiao was done, she handed it over, and wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, "Sit down, don't be busy, Ah Niang knows that you have this heart." ”
"A-Niang-" Ling Xiaoxiao didn't sit down immediately, but squatted down and lay on A-Niang's lap, she didn't know what was going on, she felt a little sour in her heart at the moment.
A-Niang snorted and laughed, and then touched her head, "Why is such a big person, and you still love to be so coquettish." ”
"I don't care, anyway, in A-Niang's heart, I'm still a child."
After speaking, Ling Xiaoxiao's head was immediately patted, "It's still young, look at Ah Hua in the next room, people are one year younger than you, and now the babies are out, what about you?" I know how to play everywhere all day long, and I don't look like a girl at all. ”
"Auntie, don't you see that I've become well-behaved recently, don't talk about me anymore." Rubbing the head that was patted, Ling Xiaoxiao replied.
"It's only been a few days, who knows if you've really become well-behaved, maybe after a few days, you'll be with those people again like before."
is worthy of being a mother, and I guessed it accurately. But now that I've said that, the reasons I thought of before can be used.
"Then A-Niang, if your daughter wants to be good and learn from female workers, I don't know if A-Niang is willing?"
Hearing this, Ah Niang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she fiddled with Ling Xiaoxiao's face with her hands in disbelief to see if it was someone else's pretense, and finally looked at her with suspicion.
Being stared at was really a little weak-hearted, Ling Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "A-Niang, I didn't lie to you, it's Xiaocui in the next village, you've seen it, and you've been to our house before, I went out and met her a few days ago, and I just talked about her going to the city to work as a female worker, so I mentioned by the way if I could bring me with me, and I could help her as an apprentice, but I didn't expect her to agree immediately, and then let me come back and ask if you agree." ”
"You let A-Niang think about it first." Looking at A-Niang's contemplative appearance, Ling Xiaoxiao's heart began to be uncertain, and she pressed her hands that wanted to pull the corners of her clothes.
After a long time, Ah Niang said, "Did Xiaocui deliver eggs to my family that day?" Ling Xiaoxiao hurriedly added: "Yes, yes, her family had a happy event that day and sent us red eggs." ”
Ah Niang thought for a while, and then said: "Then follow Xiaocui well, don't make trouble for others." ”
Ling Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly, Ah Niang had passed this level, and after that, she could only hope that the plan would be completed smoothly.
The next day, Ling Xiaoxiao left home with the big bag prepared by A-Niang, at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Anzi looked around, and when he saw the familiar figure appear, he ran forward and took the burden on Ling Xiaoxiao's back, Xiao Anzi was a little crying and laughing, almost thought that he was going to move, but he didn't laugh for long, the back of his head was attacked, looking at the other party's slightly red eyes, Xiao Anzi pursed his lips and stopped talking......
In Pingyang City, the market is still as lively as ever, but what is different from usual is that in a corner of the market, there are several circles of people inside and out, and in the center of the crowd, there is a woman's cry, dressed in plain clothes, kneeling on the ground, and there is a person lying next to the woman, covered by a broken straw mat, looking very pitiful.
"Uncle, I beg you, as long as my aunt is buried smoothly, the little woman is willing to be a slave, a cow and a horse, I beg you." His dry lips kept spitting out these words, kowtowing around as he spoke.
There was a lot of talk around them, but no one really came forward yet.
"Tut-tut, it's a pity that it's too thin, it looks like a minor, and it's not warm to buy it back to warm the bed."
"Yes, I feel a little hard to hold it, so forget it......" The person next to him said hehe, but before he could say a word, his ears were picked up.
"What are you talking about, you have eaten the gall of a leopard, and you still have this mind, ah......" The woman's sharp voice sounded in the crowd, and then the man couldn't stop begging for mercy, and the people around him looked at this scene and laughed, not strange.
But before this scene lasted long, there was a commotion in the crowd, and a fat-headed and big-eared man was seen surrounded by a group of people and walked into the crowd.
The man first looked up and down at the woman kneeling on the ground, and was very satisfied with this thin figure, especially when his eyes were aimed at the flat body, his eyes were even brighter, and then he raised his hand and beckoned the housekeeper beside him, and the housekeeper instantly understood what he meant, so that his subordinates evacuated the crowd, and then walked to the woman's side, cleared his throat and said: "Our master is kind, help you bury your mother, you can follow me back to the house." ”
Hearing this, the woman immediately bowed her head and thanked her, and then got up and followed the butler very softly, but when others were not paying attention, the woman turned her head and winked at a person around the corner, and in just a moment, she returned to normal.
It didn't take long for the woman to appear in front of her eyes with two glittering big words "Li Mansion", the brilliance was something she had never seen before, and it was really a big corrupt official, and the woman slandered in her heart.
"Look silly, it's a blessing for your life that our master took you in, and you must serve you well in the future." The butler's voice sounded next to her ear, and the woman immediately put away her surprised expression, and then lowered her eyebrows and responded.
When she entered the house, she was placed in a side room in the west courtyard by the housekeeper, and when she was the only one left in the room, she breathed a sigh of relief, ran to the basin, washed her face, and a young face was exposed.
"I'm so tired of pretending." Ling Xiaoxiao sat down on the chair and poured two large glasses of water from the table one after another. Looking at the red hands again, Ling Xiaoxiao felt that this sacrifice was quite big, he had heard that this old man Li liked young girls, and sure enough, he led himself into the mansion so quickly, but he didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly at the beginning.
Thinking of the previous situation, Ling Xiaoxiao still folded her hands and bowed a few times to the roof reverently, "Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji, I was forced to say it just now, God must not take it seriously." ”
At this time, A-Niang, who was working at home, couldn't help but sneeze, rubbed the tip of her nose, very strange, and didn't have a cold and nothing, and suddenly thought of the girl who had been out for a few days, maybe the girl was talking about herself, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she started working again......
