time travel farm girl

Zisu had just returned to the store when she was called into the counter by the proprietress.

"Girl, you are back. If not, the store is really busy, and I would have asked your uncle to visit your house."

Zisu asked in astonishment, "What happened?"

"Hey, a mother surnamed Lin in Mr. Lin's house sent people to look for you several times."

Mother Lin!

Zisu's heart tightened. When she left Master Lin's house last time, it was clear that the matter was over. Although she might not find the real culprit who drugged her for a while, she had already cleared her innocence. What are you looking for yourself for?

"But what's the matter?" Zisu asked, looking at the proprietress with tight eyes.

The proprietress shook her head, "The person who came didn't say anything. He came a few times and saw that you were not there, and said he would come back in a few days."

Zi Su breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was not a bad thing.Otherwise, I am afraid that I have already asked the proprietress for the address and went to Taojia Village. Since I said that I will come again, it must be because I have something to do with myself.

It's just that what can mother Lin do with her?Could it be that she must be required to work in the Lin Manor?

"I've been driving all the way, I'm going to wash my face, godmother."

The proprietress let her go and said repeatedly: "Go, go."

Zisu went back to her room, took out the silver from the package, and found a safe place to hide it.She only left a few dimes of silver in Taojia Village, and she brought out the most of them. After much deliberation, she still felt that it was safe to keep the silver under her nose.

After she finished tidying up and walked out, she looked up and saw Xiulan staring blankly at the bowl in the tub, with a preoccupied look on her face, she couldn't help but stepped forward curiously: "Sister Xiulan, what's wrong with you?"

Only after she yelled a few times did Xiulan realize it.

After realizing it, Xiulan hurriedly took the loofah in her hand to wash the bowl in the wooden basin, and said repeatedly: "It's okay, I just lost my mind."

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Zisu didn't ask any more questions. She walked up to Uncle Li and started to help him with the work, chatting with Uncle Li at the same time.

"Uncle, are you tired these days?"

Uncle Li glanced at Zisu in his busy schedule, smiled and shook his head, "I'm not tired."

While helping to chop and serve vegetables, Zisu pouted at Xiulan and said softly, "Uncle, sister Xiulan, what's wrong?"

Uncle Li glanced at Xiulan, and said softly: "During the few days you were away, people from Xiulan's family came and said they told Xiulan about a family."

Zi Su was startled, how old is Xiulan, let's just talk about her!But after thinking about it, I felt that there was something wrong with my thinking. After all, in this other world, it was normal and reasonable for people to marry at the age of fourteen or five.

"Sister Xiulan doesn't want to?" Zisu glanced at the dull-looking Xiulan, and lowered her voice.

Uncle Li nodded, and said softly: "I heard from the proprietress that the man's health is not good. But the dowry is a lot, a total of six taels of silver!"

Six taels of silver!Not much to say.But for those who have no money, that is really a lot of money!Zi Su sighed, being poor is really short-sighted!With Xiulan's appearance and character, if she finds a farmer with a job to live on, as long as the couple is willing to endure hardships and stand hard work, regardless of natural disasters and man-made disasters, life will always be better!

"Clap"

There was a crisp sound next to her ear, and Zisu quickly raised her head to look over.

Xiulan was already so frightened that she went to pick up the bowl in the basin in a panic. She didn't want to, and her hand was cut open by accident, and a ray of bright red immediately floated in the basin.

Zisu hurried forward and took out her hand, "Quickly, get some stove ashes and apply it." Then she pushed Xiulan aside and said, "Go and help Uncle Li add firewood and serve the dishes, and I'll come." do the washing up."

"No need, no need, it's fine." Xiulan said anxiously: "How can I let you wash it, I will wash it."

"Okay, don't argue with me."

Zisu pushed Xiulan aside, she sat down and began to wash the dishes.

The proprietress came over at some point, looked at the broken bowl that Zisu had put away and frowned almost invisible.

Zi Su quickly lost her smile and said, "Godmother, I slipped and didn't notice for a while."

"Okay, don't cover for her." The proprietress sighed, looked at Xiulan who lowered her eyebrows and trembled, and said softly: "I know, you are not happy in your heart. But your parents have You took money from others and spent it, if you don’t go, what should you do?”

The tears that Xiulan had been holding back flowed out all of a sudden, she raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face, while pursing her lips tightly.Zisu looked carefully at the proprietress, and the proprietress noticed Zisu's gaze, shook her head, turned and walked out.

Although Zisu had doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to ask. She silently washed the bowls in the basin, and when the bowls were washed, she helped to serve the dishes in front.

"Basil!"

Seeing that it was the proprietress calling her, Zisu walked into the counter and said softly, "Madam, what's the matter?"

The proprietress sighed, and said softly, "You are thinking, why don't I help, right?"

Zi Su blushed but did not deny it.

"I can't help you!" The proprietress said in a deep voice, "I didn't help much in the past two years. Your godfather almost divorced me because of this matter. If it wasn't for your brother Dashuan."

"Ah!" Zisu looked at the proprietress in astonishment, and lost her voice, "Godfather is not that kind of person!"

The proprietress pinched her face and said with a wry smile: "Yes, of course your godfather is not that careful and unreasonable person, but if it is a bottomless pit that can never be filled, what should we do?"

"why?"

The expression on the proprietress's face became more and more distressed, she paused, and said: "Xiulan's father is my youngest brother, and because he is the youngest, Xiulan's grandparents dote on him very much, so he developed a bad habit of eating too much and being lazy. Not only that, but he has also become addicted to gambling, but every time he gambles, he will lose, the more he loses, the more he gambles, the more he gambles, the more he loses."

Good bet!

Zisu finally understood what the proprietress said before, and it was true that meeting such a gambler would not be able to withstand such a toss even if there was gold and silver at home!

"Hey, Miss Xiulan is so pitiful."

"Life is bad!" The proprietress sighed, leaned slightly and raised her voice again: "At least her father has a conscience and didn't sell her into that fireworks field, otherwise it would be even more pitiful."

"No way!" Zisu lost her voice, "That's his own daughter!"

"What do you think!" The proprietress looked at Zisu, "Many fathers and mothers sell their daughters. How many people only see who pays the highest price, so they don't care about their daughter's life!"

Zi Su thought of Aunt Tao, her third brother and fourth sister.A strange feeling arose in my heart, and I suddenly felt that Aunt Tao's cowardice was much better than Xiulan's father's gambling!

"Okay, let's go." The proprietress patted Zisu who was stunned and said nothing, "I just want to tell you, it's not that the godfather and the godmother don't help her, it really can't help her."

Zisu nodded, she understood the helplessness of the proprietress, although the bloodline cannot be broken, but she can't ruin her life just because of that bloodline, right?It really is true that there are two kinds of people in the same house, whether it is Boss Chai or the proprietress, they are people who know how to choose.

Leaving the front hall, Zisu saw Xiulan sitting on a small stool washing dishes in the back kitchen, looked at her twitching shoulders from time to time, and felt very sad, but everyone has their own fate, she is nothing Savior, it is not easy to take care of yourself and your loved ones in this different world.

They were so preoccupied with each other until he was dozing off, Zisu rubbed her sore arms and fetched water to go into the room to freshen up. Just when she finished washing and was about to go to bed for a good night's sleep, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Zisu asked as she kicked off her shoes to open the door.

"It's me, Shirley."

Zisu opened the door and saw Xiulan with red eyes standing outside the door, "Come in, Miss Xiulan."

Xiulan nodded and followed Zisu into the house.

"What's the matter, Miss Xiulan?" Zisu asked Xiulan to sit on the bench beside the small table, took the white porcelain teacup on the table, poured a glass of water, and handed it over.

"No...it's nothing." Xiulan said quickly, opened the package in her hand, and pushed it in front of Zisu, "These are the shoes I made for you. Try it and see if it fits."

"Made it for me?" Zisu looked at the cloth shoes with pink uppers embroidered with green flowers and plants on the table in astonishment. The materials were average, but the stitches were neat and the soles were solid. It seemed that some thought had gone into it.She reached for the shoes and said happily: "Sister Xiulan, you are really capable, you can also embroider."

Seeing that Zisu was very happy, Xiulan also grinned, wiped a stiff smile, and said softly: "I'm stupid and can make these little things, how can you do it?"

"No, let me tell you, Sister Xiulan, you are really capable." Zisu held the pair of shoes in her hands repeatedly and looked at them. Although the color is a bit vulgar, it is the trend of this world!She actually followed the trend!

Xiulan smiled and said softly, "You can try it on."

"Hey." Zisu took off the old shoes on her feet and tried them on. They were a little tighter, but the cloth shoes were getting looser and looser. "It fits well, Miss Xiulan."

"That's good." Xiulan looked at Zisu pacing back and forth, her curved eyebrows and eyes were unusually bright, and her heart, which had been suffering all the time, became a little better with Zisu's bright smile.She touched Zisu's face with her hand, and said softly: "You are such a capable and good-looking person, I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry you in the future."

"Hey!" Zisu took off her shoes and sat down next to Xiulan again. Seeing that the smile on Xiulan's face was a bit far-fetched, she glanced at the pair of pink shoes again, sighed, and said softly : "Sister Xiulan, don't you really want to marry?"

Xiulan nodded, "Actually, I never wanted to get married."

"Why?" Zisu looked at Xiulan in confusion.

"When I was young, I always saw my father take the family money to gamble, and sometimes forced my mother to ask my uncle for money, and even said that he would sell my mother." Xiulan looked at Zisu and laughed at herself. The corner of her mouth curled up, and she said softly: "If I find such a man like my mother, you say..." Xiulan paused for a moment, but did not continue, but a big drop fell from her delicate eyes. tears.

"Then don't marry." Zisu said to Xiulan: "You ask your aunt to borrow six taels of silver to pay back the family, and tell your father that the six taels will be considered as your selling money. no problem."

Xiulan stared at Zisu in astonishment, she didn't come back to her senses for a while, but when she came back to her senses, she said hesitantly: "That's okay?"

"Why not?" Zisu looked at Xiulan and said, "Didn't he sell you for six taels of silver, so you can buy yourself."

Xiulan's eyes lit up, as if she had found hope in Zisu's words, but the next moment, the light in her eyes went out like burnt coals.

"Aunt, she won't agree."

Zisu suddenly remembered what the proprietress had said at noon, and fell silent.The proprietress may not mind paying six taels of silver to get her niece out of the fire pit, but if she offends Xiulan's father and that scoundrel because of these six taels of silver, I'm afraid Boss Chai will not agree.

"Then what should we do!" Zisu sighed, seeing Xiulan holding her face in despair, she quickly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, let's think of a way."

Xiulan shook her head, and said softly: "Don't think about it, this is my life." After saying that, she stood up and said to Xiulan: "Go to bed early, I'll go back to rest too, and I'll go back to sleep in two days. Gotta go home and get ready."

Seeing Xiulan standing up and walking towards the door, Zisu suddenly had the feeling that Xiulan was spit out by the darkness.

"Wait." Zisu stopped Xiulan, "I have an idea, but it's a little dangerous."

Xiulan turned around sharply, looked at Zisu, and said anxiously, "What's your idea? Tell me, I'm not afraid of danger."

Zisu looked at Xiulan who was full of hope, she was slightly depressed, and said softly: "I bought you, how is it?"

"You?" Xiulan looked at Zisu in astonishment, "You bought me?!"

"Yes." Zisu nodded, and said to Xiulan: "You should know that there is a dividend between me and your uncle, and I can pay for your money."

"Then you buy me!" Xiulan stepped forward and grabbed Zisu, and said anxiously: "Zisu, if you buy me, I can do any job. After you get married, I will give you the money." Take care of the children, do housework, do the laundry, clean the toilet, I can do it.”

Zisu's shoulders hurt from being held by Xiulan, and her head was heavy when she shook her, so she hurriedly said, "Sister Xiulan, listen to me first."

Xiulan quickly let go of her hand, stood still in front of Zisu, and looked straight at her, for fear that Zisu would say something that would turn her back on her.

"It's not difficult for me to buy you, but the problem is, I'm also a child, what if your father finds me, what should I do?" Zisu looked at Xiulan, pointed to her thin body and said, "I can't win." he."

"Then what should I do?" Xiulan stared at Zisu in a daze, then she suddenly came back to her senses, and said anxiously: "You are so capable, you must be able to think of a way, Zisu, help me, help me... ..." Tears poured out of his eyes again.

"Don't worry, just listen to me." Zisu took Xiulan's hand and sat down on the bench again, and said softly: "I mean, I bought you, you should find a place first Avoid it, and then tell your father, someone else bought you, what do you think?"

"Avoid?" Xiulan lost her voice: "Where can I avoid? Besides, can I hide for a while, or for a lifetime?"

Zisu smiled and said, "There is a place where you can hide forever!"
