lady

Chapter 9
Ye Xinyan took off the clothes she had covered outside, and said to Nanny Jin: "Mother-in-law, let's sew the clothes first, I'll go out and buy some miscellaneous noodles, and make dry food to eat on the way."

Seeing her putting her coat on the ragged padded jacket like that, Jin Momo said quickly, "I'll sew a padded jacket for you before you go out."

While putting on her coat, Ye Xinyan shook her head and said: "Time is tight, we have to go early tomorrow morning. You first sew your inner and outer clothes, and I will sew mine at night after I have prepared dry food."

Nanny Jin sighed, they had a hard time walking along the way, but fortunately they still had hope in their hearts, they planned to find their cousin, and if they settled down, they would be able to sell those jewelry and buy a small yard.

The eldest lady also optimistically said that they could buy a yard with a shop in front and a house in the back, and they would have a place to do business, enough to make ends meet.Now, those gold, silver and jewelry have been stolen, how will they live in the future?How can the young lady who was spoiled since childhood endure such a hard life?

For dinner, the two of them could only eat pancakes made by Ye Xinyan and pickles from the inn.Ye Xinyan suppressed the disappointment in her heart, and as usual, chewed the mixed noodle cake and tried to swallow it. Although it seemed difficult to swallow, she didn't complain.

After the meal, Nanny Jin comforted Ye Xinyan in a low voice while mending Ye Xinyan's clothes: "I'll figure it out, we still have some silver, although it's less than five taels, but if we save it, we can still support it to Miyi County .When we find relatives, we have a place to stay, and there will be plenty of money-making jobs, mother-in-law will never let you go hungry."

"Yes, I know." Ye Xinyan agreed absently, thinking about how to live without money.

She had planned well in the first place, and found Jin Nanny's relatives, and she had a reliable guarantee.With the silver and jewelry they carry, it is no problem to do a small business or something to earn money.Slowly gaining a foundation, even earning a small fortune is not impossible.

But now it's not easy.In this era she is not familiar with, it is a bit difficult to start from scratch in an environment where women cannot show their faces, let alone they are two helpless women.

People's hearts are the most unpredictable. Jin Nanny is attached to the government of Anguo. When she has status and wealth, she will naturally get along well with relatives and so on.Now that Nanny Jin is in trouble together with her, and there will be no strong backing and backing in the future, Ye Xinyan really dare not make a decision whether her cousin can be relied on.

She could imagine the jobs that Nanny Jin said could be found, but they were just helping people, sewing, starching and washing clothes, etc. Under normal circumstances, doing such a job could sustain life.But that kind of work will definitely not earn food and clothing.What's more, people who eat whole grains will not get sick. If a disaster occurs, with that kind of income, they can only resist.If you can't resist, then you have to wait for death.

The next day was the departure time they had agreed with the small vendors.With the shadow of being stolen, Ye Xinyan and Jin Momo took apart the scissors they were carrying, and put half of them in their arms for safety.

Money is something outside the body, even if it is stolen, as long as the person is good.What Ye Xinyan is afraid of is that her personal safety will be threatened. It is better to have a sharp weapon for self-defense than nothing at all.

Fortunately, the small traders were cautious. In order to avoid the secluded trails, they only took the crowded roads, went round and round in a big circle, and finally arrived in Miyi County in early November.

Miyi County is the destination of the two of them.

Mammy Kim didn't have the exact addresses of her relatives, so it would take a lot of time to find someone.Ye Xinyan discussed with Nanny Jin, and now they had no money to live in a hotel or rent a yard, so they simply rented a small house in a large courtyard where the poor lived, and began to inquire about Nanny Jin's cousin.

According to the business and age of Jinmao's cousin, the two of them asked the assistant's name in various streets in Miyi like a sieve.Half a month later, I finally got the definite news that the family moved and moved away four years ago.As for where he went, none of the neighbors in the neighborhood knew.

Wanting to cry but no tears is Ye Xinyan's current mood.

These days, although the household registration check is not very strict, if you want to live permanently, you still need a certificate.They came to seek refuge in Miyi County because they had acquaintances who could serve as a guarantee.As long as they can live there for a long time, they will naturally be permanent residents.If there is no guarantee, what can they do?You can't change places with just one shot, just wander around.

Seeing that the little money left on hand was being consumed continuously, Nanny Jin had to entrust the neighbors in front of and behind the house to earn a living by washing and mending clothes for people.

The Chinese New Year is less than a month away, but they still have no place to stay.At the end of the year, Lijia, who manages Fangshi, will come to investigate the population. How will they deal with it then?Ye Xinyan was helpless.

While doing laundry, Ye Xinyan discussed with Nanny Jin: "Grandma Tan in the front yard earns money from the agency, how about I go and cry with her, pretend to be pitiful, and ask her to guarantee that we are relatives?"

Nanny Jin was doing a more difficult sewing work, when she heard Ye Xinyan's question, she raised her eyes and looked over.Ye Xinyan was already able to clean the clothes decently, but as Ye Xinyan became more and more capable, Nanny Jin felt more and more sad.The eldest lady is a real daughter, but now she is suffering like this.

Seeing that Nanny Jin looked at her silently, Ye Xinyan asked again: "What do you think? If you think it's okay, I'll go to Granny Tan tomorrow. Otherwise, you can go too."

Granny Tan has a wide career path, and she has always relied on her network to help neighbors and neighbors to set up a line, introduce a job, and extract some agency fees from it.Strictly speaking, Granny Tan is not very familiar with them.But when there are no more familiar candidates, we can only pay Granny Tan some fees to see if she is willing to guarantee them.

If it is familiar, it would be better for Nanny Jin to talk about it.But Ye Xinyan considered that Nanny Jin was older than Granny Tan, and she had a reputation for working in the Duke's Mansion for so many years.At this time, I lowered my value to beg a woman from a poor family, for fear that Nanny Jin would feel bad.

But she was different, she was originally from a poor village, and she was young, so begging an old woman would not be considered ashamed.It's just that she doesn't have much contact with Granny Tan, and every time she gets a job, it is Jin Nanny who negotiates with her. She thinks that Jin Nanny should be familiar with her, so she discusses with Jin Nanny.

Nanny Jin sighed, "Then Mrs. Tan is easy to say, anyway, she earns money from middle-class people, and she should be able to agree to it if she has money. It's just that her daughter-in-law has a bad mouth. I'm afraid we will put it on Mrs. Tan's head. Everyone knows what her daughter-in-law said, even Li Jia knows."

When Ye Xinyan heard this, she immediately dismissed the idea. They planned to live here forever, so it's always wrong to leave such a hidden danger.

"If that's the case, then forget it. When Lijia asked, let's just say that we have lost our guide, and we can't meet relatives. At most, after the new year, we can rent another house, and maybe we can find a turning point elsewhere. "
