Chapter 159: Awkward

After Ye Yu settled on the hairy girl, he went to several other families in the village. She heard all these family things from her eldest brother. Some of them are patriarchal in their families, some are mistreated because they married their stepmothers, and some are bullied by their uncles because their parents died early.

These girls are big and small, the older ones have already begun to talk about marriage, and the younger ones are only in their early tens. She went to ask the girl who said she was married, and knew that the girl was willing to marry, so she didn't say anything about accepting apprentices.

The girl who is to be married will be said to be restless when she goes in and out every day, and it is better to forget if there is too much trouble.

Ye Yu walked around the village for most of the time, and finally settled on four apprentices. Just as she was about to go to Lizheng's house, she saw a young woman wrapped in a headscarf approaching with a large basin of washed clothes.

It's windy at the beach, and it's not uncommon to wear a headscarf. But her headscarf not only covered her head, but also covered her face, and Ye Yu stared at the exposed eyes for a while before remembering who it was.

"Chunying's sister-in-law?"

She was very impressed with the young woman, who had been to the island when she was clearing the fields. She worked as diligently as an ox, and she hardly ever rested. I only eat a little bit for dinner, and I always keep most of it to take home.

Every time Aunt Qiu saw her, her face would be very complicated, like sympathy and pity. Later, she asked quietly, and Aunt Qiu said that her name was Chunying, and she was a hard-working person. It's just that the family is too poor, and the brother can't marry a daughter-in-law, so he changes her for a relative.

Her husband was a very short man, sensitive and suspicious by nature, and he was very short-tempered, and often beat her. The neighbors persuaded and helped, but it didn't have much effect, and it was impossible for the couple to get along, and life still had to go on, so slowly everyone didn't care.

Ye Yu didn't see her wearing a headscarf much when she was on the island, how long has it been since she came back, and she was beaten again......

Chunying raised her eyes and saw that it was Ye Yu, and a smile subconsciously appeared in her eyes.

"Little Fishing ......"

The opening touched the wound at the corner of her lip, and she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly lowered her head.

"Xiaoyu, why did you go back to the village today?"

Ye Yu pursed his lips, feeling very uncomfortable. She knew that she shouldn't be impulsive, there were many girls like Chunying and Mao Yatou in this world, and she couldn't pull them when she saw one pulling them another, but she still couldn't hold back when she saw the faint bruises under Chunying's headscarf.

"Sister-in-law Chunying, I came to the village today to collect apprentices. You know that my workshop will open next year, and there will be a lot of female workers at that time, and it will definitely be too busy to teach alone, so I will accept a few apprentices first. As long as you are skillful and can bear hardships and stand hard work, the salary of 300 wen per month in the first three months is 300 yuan, and then it will rise again depending on the situation, are you interested? ”

Chunying seemed to have been hit on the head by a big cake falling from the sky, and she was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses. Of course she is interested, very interested, as long as she can not go home, she is willing to do it for nothing.

But the husband at home ......

"Xiaoyu, I really want to go, but I still have to ask the men in my family for their opinions."

Chunying can't make her own decisions, and Ye Yu probably understands. She nodded and walked over to Chunying to walk with her.

"I'll go to your house and talk to him."

Try her best, if it really doesn't make sense, then she can't help it.

The two of them quietly and soon arrived at Chun's house.

The family is also poor, or they can't change relatives. The courtyard wall of the house has collapsed a large part and has not been repaired, so you can walk in directly from the collapsed courtyard wall without going through the door. At this time, a man was sitting in the yard scraping bamboo strips, and there were several made baskets next to him.

If there is a craftsman, it is not crooked melons and cracked dates, how good it would be to beat the daughter-in-law, alas......

Ye Yu followed Chunying into the door and took the initiative to greet her husband Liao Xiaozi.

"Ye family girl? What are you doing here? ”

In the past, the village collected flower pots, and Liao Xiaozi earned a lot from the Ye family by handicraft, so at this time, he saw that Ye Yu's words were very kind. However, when he heard that Ye Yu wanted to accept his daughter-in-law as an apprentice to teach the craft, his face suddenly darkened.

"No! Chunying is my daughter-in-law, she has to take care of me, and she doesn't have time to go to the island as an apprentice. ”

Chunying, who was drying clothes on the side, suddenly gloomy in her eyes. It was very hard to hold back and not shed tears.

"Brother Liao, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I will be paid as an apprentice."

He doesn't want to do anything more than he doesn't want his daughter-in-law to work for others for nothing, and if he has money, it's another matter. Saying that he had to take care of him and couldn't leave, there was work on the island before, so he still sent people to sign up. At the end of the day, it's about money.

"Presumably Brother Liao should know how expensive the rouge gouache sold outside is, and I won't tell you that the workshop I will open next year is to do rouge gouache business, so I have to teach a group of people in advance to teach the female workers recruited later. Chunying's sister-in-law is careful and I am very optimistic about her, so I have this proposal. The salary in the first three months is only 300 Wen, and the later will look at the qualification processing money, and after you are proficient, you can also charge by the piece. ”

Ye Yu said what she had said to the other families to Liao Xiaozi again. Liao Xiaozi was undoubtedly moved, and his hands had stopped.

The work delivered to the door, being able to learn the craft and get a salary, is better than eating rice at home. Anyway, this woman is annoyed to watch at home, let her go out to earn money, and if she saves a few hundred dollars a month, she can send her nephew to study.

Yes, nephew. Liao Xiaozi is not congenitally developed, and he can't give birth to his own children in this life, so most of the money he earns is spent on his nephew, counting on his nephew to be filial to himself when he grows up.

Of course, no one knows about his inability to give birth to a child except for his family, not even Chunying. She is still a big girl with yellow flowers, and her family has kept this matter a secret.

Liao Xiaozi thought about it, the twenty-year-old work contract looks very long but it is not bad, at least Chunying has a job to do for twenty years and has a salary, twenty years later, Chunying is only in his forties, and he can continue to use his craft to earn money when he comes out, not bad.

After thinking about it, Liao Xiaozi agreed to come down. Seeing Ye Yu leave, he turned his head and trained his daughter-in-law.

"Go to the island and work honestly for me, if you are lazy and your wages are deducted, come back and come back to see me, I won't kill you! Also, since the Ye family has made breakfast, there is no need to take food from home anymore, if you don't eat a meal, you won't starve to death, besides, the island is so big that you can eat anything you want. ”

Chunying only promised to be good, looking at the aggrieved appearance, but her heart blossomed happily. Soon she took care of herself and went to Lizheng's house alone. Her man doesn't like to go out, so naturally it is impossible to stay at home with her.

When she arrived at Lizheng's house, several families had already come to the courtyard of Lizheng's house. Looking at the past one by one, all the girls who came were the little girls who were often bullied at home in the village, and she suddenly seemed to understand something, and her heart was sour.

"Okay, everyone is here, and I have written this contract. I'll read it to you first, and if you think it's okay, I'll press the mudra. ”

After all, Li Zheng is older and thinks more comprehensively than Ye Yu, so he has made a small modification to her contract and added a few clauses that are beneficial to the villagers or Ye Yu. Anyway, as long as you don't have bad intentions, this contract is a proper guarantee.

After the four families asked what time of the month they would be disbursed, they happily pressed their handprints, and then left behind.

Chunying finished pressing her handprints and stood with the little girls, they were all similar, they were all thinner than their peers, and their hair was very boring. Their clothes were still patched everywhere, and they didn't bring their own rations.

Ye Yu had expected it a long time ago, and he was not surprised. In fact, she also packed three meals, not just breakfast. Sister Sang's food is too cheap, even if the whole village eats a big white steamed bun, she can provide it, not to mention just a few little girls.

"Let's go, you go to the side where I parked the boat and wait for me, and I'll go to Aunt Fuhua's house to find you."

The girls were excited in their eyes, and obediently went out of the door of Lizheng's house together.

The old man touched his beard and sighed: "Girl, you can't help them for too long." ”

Women are born to get married, and after a year or two, except for Chunying, everyone will say that they will marry each other, and then it will be troublesome.

"Grandpa Lizheng, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Ye Yu already has a plan in her heart, but this plan is still just a prototype, and when she perfects it little by little, the life of the female doll in the village will definitely be much better.

After coming out of Lizheng's house, Ye Yu went to Aunt Fuhua's house. One is to visit her, and the other is to find her to do something.

Although Ye Yu only collects the catch of her own village, there is no restriction on dry goods, she came to ask Aunt Fuhua to help her collect some dry goods in various villages. No matter how much Aunt Fuhua collects, she still gives her two pennies more at the market price.

The profit that can be obtained in this is very large, and Aunt Fuhua responded without even thinking about it.

Anyway, now that there is a new daughter-in-law in the family, she is a lot idle, so she can free up her hands to do this, and by the way, earn some change for the family and come back.

Ye Yu returned to the dock after saying that he had collected the dry goods, and the five girls stood obediently by the boat and waited, their eyes full of hope.

"Let's go, get on board."

She got on the boat first and beckoned, and then a few girls jumped up. Just as she was about to go rowing, Chunying hurriedly said, "Xiaoyu, I'll come, I'll row." ”

When she was not married, her father and brother often went out to sea to fish, and sometimes took her on the boat. Unfortunately, after the typhoon, the ship was destroyed, and my father was injured and could no longer go to sea. There is no income at home and he is taking medicine, and soon he will be poor and unable to open the pot.

It's a sad tear to think about.

Ye Yu gave way to the position, and the boat quickly left the village. When the village almost disappeared from view, several people in the cabin breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had escaped from the cage.

There is a little girl who is more clever, and she has already called Master Ye Yu when she opened her mouth. This girl's name is Xiaocao, and she is a baby who was raised in her uncle's house.

"Master, can we never go back to the village after we go to the island?"

"This ...... I'm afraid not. ”

If it is a deed of sale, it is fine, but it is only a long-term contract, and they are still under the management of the family.

The girls were inevitably a little depressed when they heard this, but the current situation was much better than before, and it was necessary to be content.

The boat swayed and approached Baoshan Island little by little, and the fate of these girls was rewritten.

There are five people in the family at once, saying that it is not too much, and it is not too much. They have been accustomed to working at home since they were children, and as soon as they enter the yard, they begin to find their own work. It's a little embarrassing to call Xu diligently.

"Yu'er, it doesn't matter if they come here to eat, but they can live, our yard seems to be a little unliveable, right?"

"Auntie, they're going home at night. There are so many men on our island, and it's easy to gossip if you don't go back to the village at night. ”

Ye Yu also wanted to keep them on the island, but firstly, there were no good living conditions on the island, and secondly, the workshop had not yet opened, and there were no female workers on the island, only most of the men, so it was they who let them live in the village for a long time and gossip and get beaten.

"That's right, I thought you were going to keep them."

The Xu family has lived in the village for a longer time, and they understand what happened to Chunying Xiaocao and others. knew that his daughter wanted to help these suffering girls in the village, so he misunderstood that his daughter wanted to leave them behind.

After the mother and daughter finished speaking, they returned to the courtyard, and several little girls who had finished their work knelt in front of Ye Yu and kowtowed to her to call Master, and even Chunying knelt down together.

said that it was an apprentice, that is, an apprentice, Ye Yu accepted this gift, and then led people to wash their hands and faces first, and then sat down in their own handicraft house, the first part was to teach them to recognize things. For example, all kinds of dried flowers and beeswax and other items, as for the moisturizers, emulsifiers, flavors and so on that I bought later, I also took out.

She didn't change the name of these things, and let these apprentices see it generously, not afraid of the secret recipe leaking at all. In addition to the flowers, there are many other things to make these rouge gouaches, most of which are purchased with mobile phones. Even if the betrayal exposes the recipe, no one else can buy those things.

The girls knew that this opportunity was rare, and they all remembered it very seriously. Ye Yu was idle, answering questions for them while taking out the newly bought couriers and sorting them out.

The little girls were so focused on the things on the table that they didn't pay much attention to Ye Yu. Even if she occasionally sees something strange in her hand, she just looks at it curiously and doesn't ask too much.

Their world is too small and too small, and some of them have never left the village since they were born. How do they know what's in the outside world?

The little girls were all like blank sheets of paper.

After Ye Yu taught them for two days, he asked them to go to the flower field again, learning to take care of the flower seedlings and learn to distinguish the flowers at the same time. I took the time to find Sister Sang and gave the safety course I had set before.

Because of the high danger of the power grid, she can only be called qualified when she is completely proficient in the use of transformers, and she is dizzy when she learns. When I was writing my homework on Xiaoyun Island, I couldn't help but complain to Dabao, but I didn't expect Dabao to pick up a brush and brush to draw a picture for her, write the answer, and explain the head.

Ye Yu was shocked, talent......

If Dabao hadn't been injured, he would definitely be a very powerful person by now. But now he seems to be quite happy now, touching fish and shrimp every day, and climbing trees everywhere. The last time I came here, I was almost sent away by a coconut he threw down.

After thinking about it in a mess, probably seeing that she was in a daze, Dabao came over directly. Ye Yu, who was close, could almost count how many eyelashes there were on his eyes.

"Sister Xiaoyu, it's time for you to do your homework."

"Huh? Homework? Didn't you already help me ......"

Ye Yu turned his head to see that the homework paper he had just drawn had been thrown into the trash.

"Sister Xiaoyu, do your own homework. I remember someone saying it! ”

“……”

This is the reason, but this guy actually amuses himself, and he loses his homework, which is really annoying.

"You go out, I'll write it myself slowly."

Ye Yu ruthlessly pushed Dabao out of the room.

Dabao: "......"

Just as Ye Yu was scratching his heart and doing his homework, the rested Jiang family merchant ship set off again.

Of course, this time Ye Hai and his father were on the boat, and they just wanted to be able to get home immediately.

The boat is loaded with local weaving and wine, as well as a lot of local wild herbs and gouache. These are the specialties of the ancient Yue Kingdom, and they can be sold at a high price in Tangyu.

Jiang Lan flipped through the goods list twice, and was a little distracted.

"Miss, is there something wrong with you?"

Bell is very sensitive to her own lady's emotional perception, and she seems to have been listless since she got on the boat.

"Slave maid to invite Dr. Miao over to take a look at you?"

"No, you go to the door and keep guard, I'll stay by myself for a while."

Jiang Lan leaned on the window, looking at the endless sea outside and sighed silently. At the beginning, he said that he would fake a marriage with Ye Hai, and when the merchant ship returned to Tang Yu, he would send his father and son home. Now that half a year has passed, the merchant ship is once again loaded with goods and goes to Tang Yu, she also talks and takes Ye Hai and his son with her, but she is always panicked in her heart, and she wants to lose her temper and doesn't know why.

"Bell, go to the master's place to have a look, and ask Dr. Miao if the master's illness is serious."

"Okay!"

Bell turned his head and went to the stern master's room to inquire, and returned after a while.

"Miss, you're worried, sir. When the slave went, the master was playing chess with his uncle, and when he saw that his uncle should be invincible, he sweated a lot. ”

Jiang Lan: "......"

Just Ye Hai's chess skills with his father, I'm afraid that my father will release the water all the way, right? No, if she really loses too badly, then she has no face, Ye Hai is still her own son-in-law.

Jiang Lan couldn't sit still when he thought about it, so he immediately went out.

In fact, this time she wanted to go to Tang Yu with the same goods as before, and she would go back quickly. As a result, because he wanted to send Ye Hai and his father, his own father also had to go with him.

At this time, he didn't know that he and Ye Hai were fake marriages, he just thought that Ye Hai was going home to visit relatives, not to mention that the family was gone, and he had to go with him.

Jiang Lan's heart was sour. I used to go out with the boat alone, and I walked for a few months, and my father didn't say that he wanted to follow. Now there is no more son-in-law, and he is so reluctant. If he knew that Ye Hai was just a fake son-in-law, he wouldn't know what to be angry about.

It's a big head to think about.

"Oops! I won, put down the pieces! ”

The old man was very happy, and he pressed down and swallowed a large piece of his son-in-law. is still happy with a novice like her son-in-law, and when she goes back with her daughter, she swallows a large piece of it, and she has no energy at all.

"Yo, Lan'er is here. The sea is a little bit worse than you, and it would be hard to say if you delayed it a little longer and Lan'er helped. ”

"Daddy......"

Ye Hai sneered, his face slightly reddened. He seems to have embarrassed the eldest lady again.

"Okay, I'm a little tired after playing chess, and I want to lie down. In the sea, you can accompany Lan'er to the boat for a spin. ”

Old man Jiang was very eye-catching, and called the bell while cleaning up the chess pieces.

"I seem to be a little hungry Bell, you go to the kitchen and steam a bowl of custard for me."

The bell looked at the lord and then at the young lady, and finally listened to the lord's words and went downstairs to make egg custard. Now there is no one around the little couple.

Jiang Lan and Ye Hai returned to her room.

"Miss, don't get me wrong, I didn't want to go to the master to ......"

As soon as he heard this, Jiang Lan was inexplicably a little more annoyed.

"Ye Hai, do you want to be angry with my father now? I'm afraid my dad won't be able to see that we're fake, right? Do you feel that you will be too lazy to pretend that you will be able to go home soon? Did I treat you badly? Can't wait to clear up the relationship? ”

Crackling and asking, Ye Hai was stunned.

Didn't the eldest lady say it herself, wouldn't she be the aunt of the Jiang family when she got on the boat, you have to be more conscious.

He......

Jiang Lan vented, and probably remembered some of the words he said before, and his face was very cute. Ye Hai swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively, "Miss, the old man just said that dinner should be eaten together, should I go?" ”

"Of course...... Stabilize my father first, and wait until you get home. ”

"Good ......"

Ye Hai couldn't help but look at her a few more times, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, turned around and went downstairs to find his father.

There is still half a month to go to Tang Yu, and he and her are not all the way after all, but he is not worthy of her.

In the past few months, Ye Hai is not wood, and he occasionally has the impulse to want to talk to Jiang Lan. But every time he thinks of the mess in his house, no matter how hot the fire is, it goes out.

Now that the Ye family has not been separated, with the virtue of his own grandmother, if he knew that he had a rich businessman's granddaughter-in-law, he would definitely come to the door to blackmail the money.

Grandpa and grandma are not good people, and the two uncles are also very greedy, the father at home is not useful, not to mention the aunt and the little sister, and now they don't know what it is like to be bullied.

It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a muddy family. Jiang Lan is the bright moon high above him in his heart, sacred and untainted, so no matter how uncomfortable he is, he can't say something.

In the evening, the old man made a large table of good dishes in the kitchen, and also made two pots of good wine. Dr. Miao was on the side, and Jiang Lan and his family were together.

As soon as Jiang Lan saw that his father had poured three glasses of wine, he immediately stopped him: "Dad, you can't drink, didn't Dr. Miao say that you can't drink." ”

Old Man Jiang waved his hand and smiled: "Doctor Miao is sitting next to me, I don't dare to drink it." This is the wine poured for you. ”

As he spoke, he placed a glass of wine in front of her. Jiang Lan stopped talking at this time, looked at the wine and didn't know what he thought, so he took it up and drank it all. Ye Hai on the side looked at her anxiously, and was relieved to see that she didn't feel anything after drinking the wine.

The old man was amused.

"What are you worried about the sea, Lan'er followed me to the wine table when she was seven years old. Regardless of how good the amount of alcohol is, this small glass is no problem. ”

As soon as the words fell, Old Man Jiang saw his daughter lift the wine jug and pour himself another glass.

Hey? What's going on?

This meal hasn't been touched yet, why did you drink first??

It's Chinese New Year's Eve today!!

I wish you New Year's greetings in advance, and wish all the little babies who read the text a healthy and healthy new year, and financial luck is rolling in!
