Chapter Two Hundred and Nine: Twin Sisters
"The more late it is, the more uncertain it is. I'll talk about it later, but I can't help but want to share it with my mother. ”
Li Xiaoyue smiled, "Very good, whether it is a boy or a girl, I like it." Tell Cuihong, don't be pressured, don't you have to have a son, you know? ”
Li Changfu nodded, "Well, I'll tell her." However, we do want a son, not to say that we don't love our daughter, but to have a son who will support my sister in the future. ”
"It's like a mother, there are a few uncles who support her. A scumbag like Liu Yunde, with such a bad character, is an uncle at home, but after seeing his uncle, he became a mouse. ”
Li Xiaoyue pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, such an idea is very good." Don't be stressed and take good care of yourself. I'll go back now and won't let her cook. ”
"If it really doesn't work, I'll go find a few servants and come to the house to do things. After all, the house will be built very big in the future, and Cui Hong and Xiaohua can no longer be allowed to cook in the kitchen every day. ”
Li Changfu nodded, "Well, okay, mother." ”
When she got home, Zhou Xiaohua walked over with her eyebrows, "Mother, I may have it again!" ”
Li Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wu Cuihong, who was touching her stomach with her hand not far away, "Oh, you have it too?" ”
"What do you mean? Could it be that the sister-in-law has it? Zhou Xiaohua looked at her sister-in-law, she still wants to show off in front of her mother-in-law today!
Li Xiaoyue smiled, "Maybe, but the month is small, your sister-in-law didn't say it." Are you sure about this? Shall I call you a doctor? ”
Zhou Xiaohua smiled, "Actually, I'm not sure, I just think that the menstrual affairs have always been very punctual." It's a few days late now, and I think it should be. ”
Seeing this, Li Xiaoyue's two daughters-in-law have completely different personalities, which can be shown from one thing.
"Then you two don't continue to work, Changhuan and I will do it."
Wu Cuihong hurriedly waved her hand, "No, mother, let's just move lightly, usually the body is well-maintained, it's good to do some work!" ”
Zhou Xiaohua glared at her sister-in-law, this sister-in-law is too sincere, she doesn't enjoy it when she can enjoy it!
The sister-in-law is saying this now, if she doesn't work, it will seem that she is lazy.
Li Xiaoyue pretended not to see the eyebrows of these two people, "Forget it, I don't fight with you, and I can't do heavy work." I have already told Changfu that I am going to hire a few servants to go home. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaohua patted her head, "Mother, if you don't say hiring a servant, I almost forgot." The second uncle's maiden cousin's wife was gone, and she married a bride again, and she couldn't tolerate the two daughters left behind, so she wanted to sell them to a big family as maids. ”
"The second aunt couldn't bear it and wanted to take it, but my grandfather had a big family over there, and there were people who worked, and there was no need for servants, so they told me and my sister-in-law. We haven't agreed yet, wait for my mother to come back and make a decision! ”
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyue was surprised, "I haven't heard your second aunt say, how old are those two girls?" ”
"It's all thirteen, twins. There is also a younger brother, and the boy is reluctant to do it. However, after the stepmother gave birth to a son, it is estimated that she was also sold. Zhou Xiaohua replied, "Come to our house to do things, and when you get older, tell them about your in-laws, and don't treat them harshly." ”
Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Okay, I'll tell your second aunt." As long as the two girls are diligent and honest, let them come. ”
"The second aunt's personality, you know, is unreliable, and she will never let her come to our house to do things." Zhou Xiaohua explained that with two people coming to help, she would be brisk.
Li Xiaoyue also tends to find someone who knows the roots, rather than buying a servant from the human tooth.
Li Xiaoyue's second sister-in-law got Li Xiaoyue's affirmative reply, and immediately asked for a day off and asked her husband to send her back to her parents' house.
Brought back a pair of skinny twin girls that night.
Li's second sister-in-law introduced Li Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, these are the two daughters of my cousin's family, my cousin is a bastard, I don't want to say it, but Lotus and Lotus Rong are both good girls." I used to have a good relationship with their mothers. ”
"I still remember when their mother was dying, she took my hand and begged me, if the stepmother can't tolerate the two sisters, let me help find a way for these two children to live."
"Listen, I haven't swallowed my breath yet, I just think about the things that follow, it can be seen that I still understand men, and my ears are soft. These two children, who stayed over there, were sold sooner or later. ”
Li Xiaoyue was stunned, there is a stepmother and a stepfather, there have been since ancient times!
"Second sister-in-law, I believe you. These two children are also pitiful, and they know the roots, and they don't say anything about the subordinates, so they come to help cook, do things at home, and don't have to go to the ground. ”
"Thirteen this year, when you are older, you can show the boy in our village, and after sixteen, you will marry in our village. With your cousin watching from the side, you can rest assured that they will be able to live a peaceful life in the future. ”
When Second Sister-in-law Li heard her sister-in-law say this, she hurriedly said, "Lotus Lotus Lotus Seed Seed, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to your sister-in-law?" As long as you are diligent here, you can eat and drink. I'll show you people in the future. Don't believe what your stepmother said, go to a big family to be a slave and maid, people will beat when they say they will be beaten, scolded when they say they are scolded, and they will be bought and sold as livestock. ”
Lotus and Lianrong heard their cousin say this, and hurriedly knelt down, "Thank you, sister-in-law, give us a way to live, we will do anything." ”
Li Xiaoyue hurriedly helped up, "Hurry up, don't kowtow." They are all relatives, and they just need to work quickly with logistics. One month, I'll give you two sisters ......"
Second sister-in-law Li stopped, "What kind of money?" Just give it food. ”
Li Xiaoyue blinked, "If you don't give money, can their stepmother be willing?" ”
"I have already given them five taels of silver, and these two children have nothing to do with them." Li's second sister-in-law replied, "It's just that there is no shortage of people in our family, I can stay for one day, but I can't keep them for three years." ”
After all, the family is living and has not yet been separated, and Li's second sister-in-law is not at home, so she can only find a place for her niece to settle.
Li Xiaoyue thought for a while, "Is it reliable?" What if I regret it? ”
Second sister-in-law Li rolled her eyes, "I'm not a fool, I asked the top eight to write me a note and take the money, these two children have nothing to do with her parents, they pressed their fingerprints." ”
"Besides, they don't know that I put the child next to me, and it's not so easy to find it."
Li Xiaoyue thought about it and nodded, "That's okay, then let's make a short-term contract for three years." I'll ask Xiaolan to write in a while, the two of you have been working in my house for three years, including food, shelter, and eight clothes all year round, and 600 yuan per person every month. ”
"There are two choices, one is that all the six hundred dollars will be given to you, and you will save it yourself. The other is to give you 100 wen as pocket money, and I will give you 500 wen to keep in the account. When your contract is fulfilled, I will give it to you all at once. ”
When Second Sister-in-law Li heard this, her eyes lit up, "The second method." Children are small and don't save money. You put it in the account, and give them a hundred dollars a month as pocket money. When the three-year deed is completed, each person will save eighteen taels of silver, and then I will add a little more, so that I can prepare a very decent dowry. ”
