A peasant girl through the ages

Chapter 493 Not Simple

Xinyu shook her head, then suddenly remembered something, got up, knelt down on the kang and began to kowtow, the captain grabbed Xinyu.

"Don't, kid, we don't like this, alas, you can't think of it, and we can't take you home. Otherwise, you will live in our house first, help your aunt to do some work, and wait for you When did you remember, shall we take you home again?"

Xinyu nodded, patted her head, and smiled a little naively, but in the eyes of others, this child is quite cute.

It didn't take much effort for Xinyu to stay at the village chief's house. This afternoon, she wandered around behind the captain's wife's buttocks. She followed the old lady wherever she went.

The wife of the village head is also not idle. After finishing her busy work at home, she gathers together with the women in the village to twist ropes. This bundle of sacks also needs ropes. During the autumn harvest, the demand for ropes is also great.

Xinyu unexpectedly found a strange person among this group of women. If she guessed correctly, this person should be the old lady Song that Sun Yang mentioned.

Mrs. Song's face was real, and it was a bit scary when she saw it suddenly, but the people around her seemed to be immune to her face, so they didn't think it was anything, everyone was talking and laughing.

Of course, it's not that no one cares about Xinyu, a stranger.

"Oh, don't mention it, this child was picked up by our old man before, have you heard?"

Someone echoed, "Is this the little girl who passed out at the entrance of the village?"

Xinyu nodded to everyone in a naive manner, then lowered her head and followed the rubbing of the hemp rope.

"Hey, this little girl is quite skillful with her hands. It seems that she has done this job before, and she is quite fast."

Xinyu smiled: "I can't remember where my home is, but I should have done this before."

The captain's daughter-in-law said with a smile: "This thing has been used for a long time. I guess your family is also from the countryside. You just don't know where it is. Maybe you can remember it in two days."

The woman with something good to say murmured: "Auntie, this child was injured when someone kidnapped him, right? The girl has good features, maybe this child just sneaked out and someone injured her head." .”

The captain's daughter-in-law frowned: "It can't be such a coincidence, if this is the case, wouldn't the child's head—"

I didn't say a word below, if it really doesn't get better, what should the little girl do in the future, and their family can't support an outsider for a long time.

Aunt Song, who had been silent all this time, asked, "Little girl, do you still remember how you got here?"

Seeing Mrs. Song, Xinyu hid behind the captain's wife in a fright.

The old lady smiled and patted Xinyu: "Don't be afraid, this is your grandma Song, she is not a bad person, her face was burned by the fire, she looks a little scary when she is cold, you will get used to it after a long time, don't be afraid—"

Xinyu hid behind the captain's daughter-in-law and shivered a little. She looked so small that even the women around her felt a little distressed.

"Son, don't be afraid, your grandma Song is a good person, you see, we are not afraid, just get used to it."

Xinyu poked her head out from behind the captain's wife, took a peek and then hid back.

Seeing Xinyu like this, Mrs. Song shook her head helplessly.

"My face is really the root of the disaster. Look, it scares other people's children. Don't be afraid, little girl. Grandma is not a bad person. You see, they are not afraid of me. Grandma, I have nothing to do. Otherwise, my appearance makes sense. It shouldn’t be scary to come out, but I also have to live, I want to eat, how can I have food if I don’t work, don’t you think so?”

Xinyu poked her head out, covered her eyes with her hands, and just peeked at Mrs. Song through her fingers.

"Little girl, don't be afraid, we are all here, bad guys dare not hurt you."

Xinyu said timidly, "I'm afraid—"

Aunt Song smiled: "The child knows that she is afraid, so it means that there is no major problem with her brain. It should be that someone hurt her brain before, and she has temporary amnesia. Wait a few days to see—"

With these few words, an idea popped up in Xinyu's mind, this old lady is not an ordinary old lady from the countryside, this person should not be simple.

Mrs. Song asked the village chief's wife to touch Xinyu's head to see if there was any injury. This child's mind was beaten before, no wonder this child forgot about it."

Everyone nodded in understanding: "I said, it's easy to forget things when you're injured, wait until the bag is gone.

Little girl, can you remember your own name? "

Xinyu tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head: "I can't remember."

Someone sighed: "What if I can't remember this all the time, I can't live in your house all the time, can I?"

The captain's daughter-in-law said helplessly: "Let's leave it to our family to consider. For such a big girl, whoever loses her will have to look for her. The accent of the child should be from our side. Whoever loses her child will not be able to find her." Yeah, don't you think so?"

The others followed suit and nodded: "That's right, it's time to find a partner if you have been living for two years. You can receive a sum of money just for the bride price. If you support such a large family, you must expect to receive some bride price."

Mrs. Song is also watching Xinyu furtively at the moment. The little girl looks dark, but her facial features are very good. She can't figure out why the little girl appeared here. I haven't heard of any kidnappers around here. ah?

"Auntie, can your house stay?"

The captain's daughter-in-law was also worried about this matter: "Then what can I do, I can't let the child outside, a little girl's house is not safe, let's squeeze.

By the way, Lao Song, do you have any clothes and shoes that your girl doesn’t wear? Can you get a set for the child to change and wash? Our family either has adult clothes, the girls are all married, and the little ones haven’t grown up yet. Girls can no longer wear gay men's clothes. "

Mrs. Song nodded: "Really, since my girl went to work in the city, the clothes she used to wear are a bit contemptuous. Alas, what happened to the clothes at home, I can't wear them, and I don't look at the people around me. What to wear, she still picks and chooses."

The captain's daughter-in-law persuaded: "The girls in the city don't wear the same clothes as us, besides, your daughter is a waiter, representing the face of the restaurant, if she doesn't dress like that, it's not the same thing.

What's more, the child has a partner, and the child also needs to face, and there is no confidence in going to the in-law's house in tattered clothes. "

Mrs. Song sighed: "What's the confidence? It's not supported by clothes and shoes, it depends on your own ability. Alas, the child is too old to say. A few days ago, the man's grandmother sneaked over to inquire , She didn't expect to meet me, she felt embarrassed herself."

Upon hearing this, Xinyu wondered to herself, is what the old lady said true or false?Is this for her to hear or is there really such a thing?

The others were all surprised: "Ah, come here to inquire? Hehe, this Zhao family is also very interesting. I still don't believe what the child said. I came here to inquire. What are you doing?"

Mrs. Song smiled wryly: "I'm afraid that this ugly woman will drag my girl down."
