Chapter 248: Persecution
"That's right, sister, my mother misses you, you don't go home to see it this New Year, your host is really ruthless." The middle-aged man looked at Yun Niang, sighed, and was about to come over and pull Yun Niang's arm, and said, "It just so happens that you haven't signed a contract with the Ye family this year, so let's go back." ”
Yun Niang's body was slightly on one side, and the man's hand fell into the air, and when he was stunned, Yun Niang had already said gently: "Thank you brother for your kindness, but I have already agreed with the owner that I will still work with them this year." ”
"Okay, sister, don't lie to your sister-in-law." This Zhong Wang shook off his handkerchief and walked to the main house by himself, saying as he walked: "I heard that the shopkeeper Ye is no longer in this county for a long time, where do you go to sign a contract with her?" ”
As she spoke, she glanced Yun Niang up and down again, and finally her eyes stayed on Yun Niang's apron, and there was still a little bit of flour left on it, because the fire had just been burned, and a little dust fell on Yun Niang's face and head.
Seeing Zhong Wang's disdainful gaze, Yun Niang's face showed a cramped look, Zhong Wang's expression was fully understood, the corners of his mouth were hooked again, and he said cracklingly: "Look at you, now that others don't even want you to embroider, they just treat you as a cook, what are you doing here?" Didn't you fall in love with the shopkeeper of this house, so you didn't want to leave? ”
Seeing that Yun Niang didn't speak, she continued: "I have heard that although this shopkeeper Liu is nominally a shopkeeper, in fact, he is just doing things for Shopkeeper Ye like you, besides, even if you have a heart, people have not yet married, how can you marry someone like you?" Don't be delusional, you are here, you are just a little embroidery girl for the rest of your life! ”
"But I'm free here, I'm happy." After Yun Niang finished speaking, she pursed her mouth tightly.
"Happy? Yo, but you're so happy to be a cook for others? Zhong Wang's family seemed to have heard something like that, haha laughed, laughing out of breath, or the man next to her coughed, she stopped laughing, and said: "Since your pursuit is so simple, sister-in-law, it's easy to say, sister-in-law has found you a good home, which can make you happier than now." ”
"A good home?" Hearing this, Yun Niang's little face suddenly turned pale, she lost her mind for a while, took two steps back, forced herself to calm down, and said, "Sister-in-law, let's laugh, who would want me like this." ”
"So it's your good luck to come, just been abandoned, and immediately found another sycamore, this person is the king of our county, that is a rich lord, people paid a hundred taels of silver as a hire, want you to be a concubine."
"Concubine?" Yun Niang chewed these two words quietly, and a bitterness welled up in her heart.
"Although she is a concubine, she is also half a master in the house, and when you give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future, won't your status be stable." Zhong Wang found a place to sit down, as if realizing that she had said the wrong thing, she said again: "Oh, by the way, you can't have children, but it doesn't matter, you are young, as long as you hook the heart of Wang Yuanwai, it is not the same if you have children or not." ”
Seeing that there was tea on the table, she glanced at Yun Niang, as if complaining about her lack of eyesight, and poured herself and her man a cup of tea, she tasted it leisurely with the teacup, and regarded herself as a guest.
"Brother, do you think so too?" Hearing Zhong Wang's words, Yun Niang's tears almost fell, she said how could they be kind enough to visit her, but she didn't expect to sell her again.
It has been more than three years since she was abandoned, and she has been working at Liu Man'er's house for more than two years, and every time Liu Man'er settled a year's salary to her early, she handed them over without a penny, thinking that they would not come to disturb their lives again, but they didn't expect that today they came to the door again, Yun Niang really didn't expect it.
Seeing Yun Niang's crying appearance, Zhong Ying turned his head to the side and persuaded: "Your sister-in-law is also good for you, you think that Master Wang's family is rich, and people can take a fancy to you is your luck, what's wrong with you marrying in the future and wearing gold and silver?" ”
The more he said it, the more he became more confident, and he said, "Okay, what kind of life do you have now?" If you let others know that my Zhong Ying's sister is doing something to others, what do you let others think of me? Okay, without further ado, you pack your things and get ready to come with us. ”
When Yun Niang heard Zhong Ying's words, she laughed angrily and said, "It's really funny for my brother to say this, you don't like to be ashamed to let your sister be someone else's subordinate, so you won't be ashamed to be a concubine for others?" What's more, the water thrown out by the married woman has long had nothing to do with the Zhong family! ”
"Smack!" Hearing this, Zhong Ying slapped the table heavily and said, "What are you talking about?" When you were forsaken, did your brother take you in? Now you've just been a slave in someone else's home for two days, and you don't even recognize your brother and sister-in-law and mother? ”
"That's right, sister, the water spilled by the married daughter, but now that you have been abandoned, then you are still the daughter of our Zhong family, don't blame your brother for not speaking well, it is really during this time, your brother doesn't know how much criticism he has suffered outside, you should understand that your brother is, but you can't say angry words to anger your brother is."
Zhong Wang's tone is gentle, a good and seductive elder, but Yun Niang just thought it was funny when she heard it, it was really funny, who abandoned her like a shoehorn in the past, and now she saw that she was profitable, and she came over to say these words, is she so easy to deceive? Is she really like the dough on the chopping board, allowing other people's flesh to be pinched flat?
"What if I say I don't want to?" Yun Niang said coldly.
"Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmakers' words, you can't help whether you want it or not!" Zhong Ying said toughly.
"So, I don't even have the right to say no?" Yun Niang's voice became colder and colder, she now felt that she was in an endless ice field, and she was terribly cold, but there was a big fire pit behind her, and these relatives in front of her were fiercely stretched out their hands and pushed her into the fire pit, the implication was that she was going to freeze to death, and they were all for her good.
"Yes." Zhong Ying nodded, "We're all for your good, I'm your brother, will I hurt you?" ”
"Who knows?" Yun Niang showed a mocking smile, and then sneered: "That Wang Yuanwai is in his sixties this year, what good life can I have if I get married?" Brother, are you really saying this for my sake? Or is it just to sell me out of the king's ranks, so that I can get the one hundred taels of money? ”
"You!" It seemed that he was annoyed and angry, this Zhong Ying raised his palm, and was about to give Yun Niang a slap.
Yun Niang stood there stubbornly, waiting for his thunderous slap, but the palm he waved did not fall for a long time, Yun Niang looked up, only to see that his palm was grabbed, she turned her head and saw Liu Yunsheng standing behind her like a big tree, his steely hand tightly grasped Zhong Ying's hand, not letting his slap fall.
At this moment, she seemed to have found a savior, and tears of grievance rolled down.
"Yun Niang."
Liu Yunsheng called her, and really wanted to take her into his arms and comfort her, but there were two initiators in front of him here, so he couldn't make some intimate moves in public.
"Who are you? Why come to my home! "They are all people who open shops in this county, Liu Yunsheng doesn't know the two of them, it's just that he just heard Yun Niang's words, and he doesn't have a good face for the two of them at the moment.
"Hmph, who are we, Shopkeeper Liu won't not know each other!" Zhong Ying snorted coldly and said, "You came just in time, so we don't have to go to you again, we came here today to take Yun Niang away." ”
"Yes, our Yun Niang is a rich lady, and in the future, we will eat fragrant food, drink spicy food, gold, silver and jewelry, and enjoy it inexhaustibly, but we will not work for your family anymore." Zhong Wang on the side also answered.
"What you said is out of the blue, it's not for your own selfish desires, you want to sell Yun Niang to an old man, if it's really for Yun Niang's good, you shouldn't push her into the fire pit." Liu Yunsheng said coldly.
"Of course we are for her good, what more does a divorced woman want? She can't have children, and it's already very good to be able to marry a king. Zhong Wang pursed his lips and said, "What's more, this is a family matter of our family, don't interfere with outsiders." ”
"What if I don't let you take her away today?"
"Don't let us take her away? Why? Zhong Wang's face glanced at Liu Yunsheng up and down, and said, "Isn't it that you have fallen in love with our girl?" ”
When Liu Yunsheng heard Zhong Wang's words, he was a little stunned for a while, and Zhong Wang's face instantly understood, "Oh, I understand, it turns out that you really like the girl in our family." ”
Seemingly proud that he had learned Liu Yunsheng's thoughts, Zhong Wang laughed and said: "Young man, liking is not just the most lip service, if you really like our family's Yun Niang, don't say that I didn't give you a chance, now Wang Yuanwai has promised to give us a hundred taels of dowry, if you can give more dowry, even if we offend Wang Yuanwai, what?" ”
Hearing this, Liu Yunsheng fell into silence, he was not reluctant to pay the money, but he had just used the money to buy another house in the county, and the store had just opened, and there was no more profit.
Seeing that Liu Yunsheng was silent, Yun Niang's heart was slightly disappointed, but soon, she figured it out, "Sister-in-law, don't embarrass Shopkeeper Liu, you know that he can't come up with so much money, not to mention, Shopkeeper Liu is just my friend, and what I Zhong Yunniang owes you has already been paid off, so no matter what, I won't go back with you." ”
