Chapter 244
Even if she recognized her, Gu Yingying pretended not to know her, and said to Xingya:
"You called me? Are you looking for me to buy tea?"

Xingya shook her head slightly, and said: "I came to you because I was entrusted by my sister, please come with me to her place for dinner. No matter what tea you want, my sister will prepare it for you."

When the little girl said this, she didn't dare to look at Gu Yingying's face, for fear that meeting her sharp gaze would bring some pressure to her.

At this time, Gu Yingying didn't hear her name called, so it was difficult to guess whether the other party recognized her.

She remembered that when she was at home, the aunt always abused herself, either not letting herself have enough food, or arranging herself to do some work.Like feeding the chickens, as long as the grandmother is not around, the aunt will let her do it.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get her uncle's praise.

Don't even think about getting any gifts from the aunt.

Because she didn't have enough to eat at home and was bullied by her auntie, she could only rush to the village entrance to wait for her father before dark.

Every day, the happiest thing is that after she came to the village entrance, she could see her father who came back in a bullock cart.

When Xing Ya'er thought of her father, and her mother whom she had only met a few times and then never saw again, the hatred for Gu Yingying deepened in her heart.

I have heard from Sister Linglan that if Sister Wanrou hadn't kindly taken her in and recognized her as a righteous sister, she would have brought her back to the imperial city to enjoy the blessings.Then, after she grows up in the government office, she may become a maid for others like some women.

"Like us, being a maid for your sister Wanrou, you can still have good clothes to wear and delicious food to eat. I really don't have many."

"No, Elder Sister Linglan, I don't want to be a maid!" When Xing Ya'er was at home before, she heard her aunt say that she was going to be sold.In this way, she will not be able to earn a penny for the family while eating at home.

Said she was a loser.

She was very angry, but she didn't dare to say anything to her uncle.

Once, she really heard her aunt and uncle say that they would wait a few more years and sell her to some rich man's house as a maid.Not to mention anything else, you can get dozens of taels of silver.

The money obtained does not have to be given to her grandparents, let alone her father.

In these years, the people who have contributed the most and paid the most are the people with long houses.

Therefore, the silver taels obtained are all held by the auntie, and will be kept for the cousin and the others to marry their daughters-in-law.

Xing Ya'er didn't want to be a maid, so she said to Ling Lan: "When my father was still alive, he told me to let me live well. At that time, when my grandmother comes out, she will take good care of me. Then Wait a few years, just a few years, and I will have a good life."

"Oh." Ling Lan sighed helplessly, and said:
"Xingya, why are you so naive and think of many things so simply? Think about it, your grandmother was imprisoned, and it will take a few years before she will be released. By then, will she Older?"

"So what? In our family, isn't it just that the grandparents are older?" Xing Ya'er didn't understand at all, what sister Ling Lan wanted to ask her when she asked her.

"Let me explain it to you. Your grandmother is not too old now. She is in charge of things and money at home. Your aunt can't say anything. But wait a few years, when your grandmother is released After you come out, your uncle will also be released. Among them, who is younger?"

Ling Lan explained, then stared at Xing Ya'er's face, waiting for her answer.

Xingyaer said:
"Of course my aunt is younger."

After saying this, she suddenly understood that Sister Ling Lan was trying to tell her something by telling her this.

Doesn't that mean that when her grandmother is released, it's hard to say whether she can continue to be in charge of the family.

Because my aunt is very strong and still young.

The second aunt has always been very honest, she will not argue with the eldest aunt, nor is she willing to fight.

In this way, even if grandma is released, it is hard to say whether she can have enough food.

Xing Ya'er felt that she was very pitiful, and she didn't care that Ling Lan was still looking at her, so her mouth slumped and she shed tears.

If sister Wanrou hadn't kindly taken her in and wanted to take her back to the imperial city.I'm afraid it will be like what Sister Linglan said, when she goes home with her grandmother, she will still have to be angry with her aunt.

"Sister Wanrou is so kind." Xing Ya'er expressed gratitude.

Ling Lan reached out and rubbed Xing Ya'er's forehead, and said: "You are sister Wanrou's younger sister, if she is not nice to you, who else can she be nice to? You can tell my sister what you want to eat or where you want to go for fun in the future." I will tell Sister Wanrou later, I will definitely take you there."

"Okay. I think..." Xing Ya'er said to Ling Lan, she wanted to eat the pastries and meals made by Gu Yingying, they were really delicious.

He used to live in the village, and often went to Gu's house for dinner.No matter when you go, you can eat delicious meals.

I also know that Gu Yingying and Xu Xinlan both came to Fucheng to sell food.

If you want to buy it, you only need to ask for some silver taels from sister Wanrou, and you can buy it and eat it.

"Okay, what you said, Sister Linglan can agree to you. But before that, you have to help us with one thing. As long as you get things done and let us feel at ease, you will I'll give you a lot of delicious food."

After Linglan said this, she took out two sweet-scented osmanthus candies from her sleeve pocket, and after peeling off the outer layer of kraft paper, she fed the candies to Xingya.

The candies are so sweet that Xingya wants to eat several more after eating two.

Now I asked Lily of the Valley for candies.

"It's delicious, I want to eat it."

Ling Lan squinted her eyes slightly, and said: "If you still want to eat, then you can tell Gu Yingying, let her believe it after hearing it, and come to Sister Wanrou. You will get a lot of delicious food .”

For sweets, even for pastries, Xing Ya'er and Ling Lan took the carriage to West Street, waiting for Gu Yingying and the others to return.

After greeting Gu Yingying, she couldn't hear her name being called.But Xingya didn't give up, and tried to remind a few more words, but she still didn't hear what Gu Yingying said, which had nothing to do with buying tea and pastries.

I had to ask directly:
"In a few days, isn't your second brother and the others going to the imperial city to rush for the exam? Why don't you go home and help with the work, and why don't you sell food in Fucheng with Sister Xinlan?"

But sister Linglan taught her this before bringing her here.She still remembers it all the time.

Sister Linglan said that she asked this question to make Gu Yingying think they were afraid of her going after hearing this.So don't tell the truth.

No matter what Gu Yingying said, after returning home, she must truthfully report it to Sister Wanrou.

Xingya looked expectant, waiting for Gu Yingying's answer.

Gu Yingying quickly realized what this little girl was thinking.It's just that Feng Wanrou, who has a scheming heart, can think of any way for Zhao Xun, and it's really hard for her.

I really want to remind Xing Ya'er that if she goes to live in the imperial city with Feng Wanrou, no matter how many years she has been there, she will not be treated like a relative.

It's better to stay in my hometown, even if I can't go to relatives and friends, but as long as Xingya is willing to endure hardship and want to live, it's not difficult.

Not to mention anything else, if you go to West Street and help people choose vegetables, you can also take care of food and housing, right?

The people who run bookstores on this side of West Street are all educated, and they will not look down on Xing Yaer just because she is the daughter of a death row prisoner.

But it's hard to say whether the people who live on the East Street are willing to help Xing Ya'er.
