Ye Xinyan changed out of the clothes that were covered outside, and said to Mama Jin: "Mother-in-law, sew the clothes first, I'll go out to buy some miscellaneous noodles and make dry food to eat on the road." ”

Seeing that she put her coat on the torn cotton jacket, Mama Jin hurriedly said, "I'll sew a cotton jacket for you first, and then you can go out." ”

Ye Xinyan shook her head while putting on her coat and said, "Time is tight, we have to hurry early tomorrow morning." Sew your clothes inside and out, and then sew mine at night when I have made the dry food. ”

Mama Jin sighed, it was difficult for them to go along the way, but fortunately, there was still a hope in their hearts, they planned to find their cousins, and when they settled, they would be able to sell those jewelry and buy a small yard.

The eldest lady is also optimistic that they can buy a yard in front of the store and live in the back, and they can do business and have a place to live, which is enough to make a living. Now that the gold, silver and jewelry have been stolen, how will we live in the future? How can the eldest lady, who has been pampered since childhood, suffer from this hard life?

The two of them could only eat the sticky cakes made by Ye Xinyan and the pickles of the inn for dinner. Ye Xinyan suppressed the disappointment in her heart, and as usual, chewed the mixed dough cake and tried to swallow it, although it seemed difficult to swallow, she didn't complain.

After the meal, Mama Jin comforted her in a low voice while sewing Ye Xinyan's clothes: "I calculated, we still have some silver, although it is less than five taels, but if we save it, how can we support it in Miyi County." When we find relatives and have a place to stay, there are many jobs to make money, and my mother-in-law will never let you go hungry. ”

"yes, I know." Ye Xinyan agreed absentmindedly, thinking in her heart about how to live without money.

She originally planned very well, and found Mama Jin's relatives and had a reliable guarantee. With the silver taels and jewelry they carry, they can do a small business or something, and earn money to make a living. Slowly has a foundation, even if you earn a small wealth, it is not impossible.

But it's not going to be easy right now. In this era that she is not familiar with, it is a bit difficult to start from scratch in an environment where women can't show their faces, not to mention that they are still two helpless women.

People's hearts are the most unpredictable, Mama Jin is attached to the Anguo Mansion, when she has status and wealth, relatives or something, she naturally gets along very well. Now that Mama Jin is in trouble with her, and she will not have a strong backing and backing in the future, whether her cousin is relied on or not, Ye Xinyan really doesn't dare to make up her mind.

She could imagine that the job that Mama Jin said could find was nothing more than helping people, helping people sew pulp and laundry, etc., under normal circumstances, doing that kind of livelihood can sustain life. But that kind of work will never earn enough food and clothing. What's more, if a person eats whole grains, how can he not get sick, if there is a disaster, with that kind of income, he can only resist. If you can't resist it, then there is only one way to go.

The next day was the time they had agreed with the vendors to set off. With the shadow of being stolen, for safety, Ye Xinyan and Mama Jin took apart the scissors they were carrying, and each carried half of them in their arms.

Money is something outside the body, even if it is stolen, as long as the person is good. Ye Xinyan is afraid that his personal safety is threatened, and it is better to have a weapon for self-defense than nothing.

Fortunately, the small traders were cautious, and in order to avoid the secluded paths, they only took the crowded roads, went around in a big circle, and finally arrived in Miyi County in early November.

Miyi County is the destination of Mama Jin and Mama.

Mama Kim didn't have the exact addresses of her relatives, and it would take a lot of time to find someone. Ye Xinyan and Mama Jin discussed, and now they have no money to live in a hotel or rent a yard, so they simply rented a small house in a compound where the poor lived, and began to inquire about Mama Jin's cousins.

According to the business and age of Mama Jin's cousin, the two assisted their names, and asked all over the streets of Miyi like a sieve. Half a month later, I finally got the exact news that the family had moved and moved away four years ago. As for where it went, the neighbors did not know.

Wanting to cry without tears is Ye Xinyan's mood now.

In this year, although the household registration check is not very strict, if you want to live permanently, you still need a certificate. They came to Miyi County because they had acquaintances who could make a guarantee. As long as you can live for a long time, you will naturally be a permanent resident. What can they do if they don't have a guarantee? You can't just shoot a shot and change places and wander around.

Seeing that the little silver left in hand continued to be consumed, Mama Jin had to take care of the neighbors in front of the house and behind the house, and took some money to wash and sew clothes for people to make a living.

The Chinese New Year is less than a month away, but they still have nowhere to stay. At the end of the year, Lijia, who manages Fang City, is going to come to investigate the population, how can they deal with it then? Ye Xinyan was at a loss.

While washing clothes, Ye Xinyan discussed with Mama Jin: "Granny Tan in the front yard earns the money of the intermediary, why don't I cry to her, pretend to be pitiful, and let her guarantee that we are relatives?" ”

Mama Jin was doing a more difficult sewing work in her hands, and when she heard Ye Xinyan's question, she raised her eyes and looked over. Ye Xinyan has been able to wash her clothes decently, but as Ye Xinyan becomes more and more capable, the sourness in Mama Jin's heart is getting more and more. The eldest lady is a real daughter, but now she is suffering like this.

Ye Xinyan saw that Mama Jin looked at her and didn't speak, so she asked again: "What do you think?" If you think it's okay, I'll go to Granny Tan tomorrow. Otherwise, you can go. ”

Granny Tan has a wide road, and she has always relied on the door in her hand to help the neighbors set up a line, introduce a job, and extract some intermediary fees from it. Strictly speaking, Granny Tan is not very familiar with them. But when they are not more familiar with the candidates, they can only give Granny Tan some fees to see if she is willing to vouch for them.

If you say it's familiar, it's better to say it to Mama Jin. But Ye Xinyan considered that Mama Jin was older than Granny Tan, and she could be regarded as having a face in the Guogong Mansion for so many years. At this time, he lowered his value to beg a poor mother-in-law, for fear that Mama Jin would feel uncomfortable.

And she is different, she was originally from a poor village, and she is young, so it is not a shame to ask an old woman. It's just that she doesn't have much contact with Granny Tan, and every time she takes a job, it is Mama Jin who negotiates with her, and she thinks that Mama Jin should be familiar with her, so she discusses it with Mama Jin.

Mama Jin sighed, "Then Mrs. Tan is good to say, anyway, what she earns is also the money of the Chinese people, and she should be able to agree if she has money." It's just that her daughter-in-law is a broken mouth, I'm afraid that we will put it on the head of Mrs. Tan, and her daughter-in-law will know everything she says, even Lijia can know it. ”

When Ye Xinyan heard this, she immediately dispelled her thoughts, they planned to live permanently, and it was always inappropriate to leave such a hidden danger.

"If that's the case, then forget it. Lijia asked, let's directly say that we lost the road guide, and we won't meet our relatives. At most, after the New Year, let's rent another house, maybe we can meet the turnaround elsewhere. ”
