Chapter 15: I can't help myself

Gu Yunjiao took a bucket to fetch water for Jiang Youzhi, and there was no firewood at home, so she took Gu Chuan to the back of the village to pick up some firewood and came back.

Stuffing firewood into the stove and lighting a fire to boil water, Gu Yunjiao explained to Gu Chuan, "In the future, you go to the side of the mountain every day to pick up some firewood and come back, and keep it for boiling water." ”

"But don't go into the mountains, beware of wild beasts."

"You can't lift this water, you call the eldest sister to help you lift it, if she doesn't mention it, you ask the second uncle's brother to help you, if he doesn't help, you can find your own way to get less water at a time."

"In this weather, you have to take a shower and wash your hair every other day at most, otherwise your body will stink, you know?"

Gu Chuan lowered his head, "Got it." ”

Jiang Youzhi came in with a bucket of water, and he didn't bother the sister and brother, poured the water into the water tank, and went out again.

Gu Yunjiao then explained: "In the future, you still have to learn to cook by yourself, the eldest sister is sixteen, maybe she will get married one day, at that time, who do you want to count on?" ”

"Also, if my mother wants to sell the land, you should tell the second and third uncles that they won't let her sell it."

Gu Chuan then nodded.

Gu Yunjiao said again, "I took some of the books at home, and don't let the eldest sister or mother sell the rest, you hide it yourself, and read more books if you have nothing to do, it is always beneficial." ”

Gu Chuan suddenly cried, "Second sister, don't go, okay, my mother and eldest sister don't care about me, and no one will make up for my broken clothes." ”

Gu Yunjiao sighed, "The second sister is also involuntarily. ”

She wanted to leave the Jiang family, and she didn't want to go back to her parents' house, so she wanted to open a pharmacy by herself, and the horizontal and vertical medicines were ready-made, so that she could earn some money to support herself.

However, there are still two problems with wanting to leave, one is the lack of money.

She really doesn't have a penny in her hand, this problem is easy to solve, she has a medicine store, sell something, it's easy to get some silver.

Another issue is household registration.

Her household registration is now in the Jiang family.

This ancient is not like modern times, the flow of population is very strictly controlled, and you have to go to the government with your household registration to open a road when you go out, otherwise, you can't stay in other places, and you may be arrested by the government.

Even if the government doesn't arrest you, a little girl, alone, will definitely be targeted by human traffickers.

The devil knows where it will be sold.

Therefore, the only way to break away from the Jiang family in a dignified manner and set up a female household as a widow can live a clean life alone.

It's just that it's not easy to know about this, and you have to think about it in the long run.

Gu Yunjiao retracted her thoughts and said to Gu Chuan: "You go and bring the clothes, find the needle and thread, and the second sister will make it up for you." ”

Gu Chuan ran out quickly.

Gu Yunjiao saw Jiang Youzhi coming in with another bucket of water, got up and looked at the water tank, "It's enough, don't mention it." ”

"Thank you, you're tired, go and rest."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, "Then I'll go sit in the courtyard for a while." ”

He walked to the kitchen door and stopped, as if he were neither advancing nor retreating.

Gu Yunjiao walked behind him and looked out, and saw Gu Mei's apricot red shirt and pink skirt, standing outside with eyebrows and eyes.

This thought was so obvious that Gu Yunjiao rolled her eyes, sat back by the stove and continued to burn the fire.

Outside, Gu Mei wrung his veil, and said shyly and timidly: "San, San Lang, you, you come with me, I have something to say to you." ”
