Chapter 32
Qiaoyun didn't know about her changes, she was busy every day, leaving before dawn in the morning, returning home after dark at night, weaving when she came here, and never had a chance to look in the mirror.So Qiaoyun was a little puzzled by the surprised eyes of Liu's mother and daughter.

"Mother, what do you want from me?" Qiao Yun asked again.

Mrs. Liu still couldn't get back to her senses, but Xiumei hurriedly said, "My mother came here to find you, it's time for the silkworm to climb the tree. Aunt Qitang came home today, so the silkworm has already grown It’s almost time to climb the tree. No one else in our family can release silkworms except you, so my mother wants you to go back.”

When Qi Xiumei spoke, her eyes flickered a little, and Liu Shi was also taken aback when she heard Xiumei's words.No, when the seventh siblings came to the house to discuss this morning, she had already agreed to give the ants and silkworms to other people's homes.This Xiumei, why do you still say that?When Qiaoyun went home to release silkworms, the job on this side would be gone. This was sixty yuan a day.

Fangshan silkworms can be said to be earning money, and Qiaoyun could earn two or three shillings back in previous years.But that job is also dependent on the sky. If the year is not good, or if there are too many birds and animals and the disaster is serious, you won't be able to earn so much.Qiaoyun is getting paid every day now, rain or shine.

Comparing the two, Liu thinks it is better to let Qiaoyun stay in the cloth village.Today their mother and daughter came to the town to buy two pieces of cloth for Xiumei to make clothes.Seeing that it's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, Mr. Hu might come to Qi's house, Xiumei must dress up well.

This is the only cloth shop in the town, so if they want to buy cloth, they must come here.Come here to mention Qiaoyun to the buddy, in fact, I want to use Qiaoyun's name to get the buddy to give me some money.Liu Shi really didn't expect that Qi Xiumei would have a convulsion and wanted Qiaoyun to go home.

Liu opened her mouth and was about to say no, but found that Xiumei secretly stabbed her waist twice from behind, "Mother, don't talk for now, let me take care of today's matter." Qi Xiumei said in a low voice.

Xiumei said so, and Liu is a spoiled daughter, so of course she can't open her mouth to expose Xiumei at this moment. "Yeah, it's time for the mountain silkworm to climb the tree. Our ant silkworm has hatched at your aunt Qitang's side, so we can't say no to it." Mrs. Liu didn't know what her daughter was going to do, but she still followed the embroidery. The beautiful words go on.

Qiaoyun raised her eyebrows, what kind of tricks are these mother and daughter up to?As far as she knew, ants and silkworms were very popular in Qijia Village. Not to mention that the Qi family didn't raise too many every year, even if there were more, it would be very easy to get rid of them.Is Mrs. Liu out of her mind?Let yourself give up the errand here and go back to release silkworms?Doesn't she know which is lighter and which is heavier?

"Mother, what about my errands? You can't just throw them away halfway, right?" Qiao Yun asked Liu.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help being tongue-tied when Qiaoyun asked her such a question. She hadn't planned to let Qiaoyun go back, so of course she didn't know what to say now.

Qi Xiumei, on the other hand, has a quick mind and has already thought of an excuse, "Our father and our mother have discussed it. You are a girl's family. If you come to town so early and late, you are afraid that there will be danger on the road. Parents said, can you You can't discuss with the shopkeeper here, let you take the loom and raw silk back to weave."

"You do the same work when you go back. You go to release silkworms in the morning and weave cloth in the afternoon. There is no delay in either. One year is less than two months. If our family does not raise silkworms, we will lose a share of income. .” The more Qi Xiumei talked, the more she felt that this idea was very good.

In the past, Qiaoyun weaved at home, and it was the same way. She worked in the morning and weaved in the afternoon. In that case, all the stalls outside the house could be handed over to Qiaoyun.In the past half a month, their mother and daughter have been working at home, and they are all exhausted.

Xiumei looked at her hands. These days, she cooks, picks vegetables and washes dishes all day long, and her hands are rough.The kitchen was so smoky that it made her look ashamed and her complexion extremely bad.No, she can't do this anymore, if it goes on like this, one day when I see Mr. Hu again, people will hardly know her anymore.

Qi Xiumei looked at Qiaoyun with envious eyes, this dead girl is enjoying a blessing now, look at how well she is raised.Why?She is a servant picked up by the Qi family, and she should be working hard without enough food and clothing.As a result, she is now hiding in the town, one day without the wind blowing or raining, she is white and tender, and she looks like a rich lady, which is not acceptable.

Mrs. Liu was on the side, hearing Xiumei's words, her eyes lit up, yes, why didn't they think of this method before? "Yes, that's what happened. You see, we are also worried when you come home so late every day. Why don't we discuss it with the shopkeeper, as before, and come to the town every few days to deliver cloth. How good is that? "

Qiao Yun understood after hearing the mother and daughter singing together, it was not pleasing to their eyes because they saw that they were more comfortable in the town.Qiaoyun lowered her eyes, bowed her head and said nothing, but she was pondering in her heart. After a long time, she turned to look at shopkeeper Han, "Uncle Han, what do you think about this matter?"

"No, I'm afraid it's not good. Our looms and raw silk are very valuable. If you take them back, what if you lose them? The days after tomorrow will get longer and longer, and it will be dark." It's too late, and it's not too dark when you go home, so there shouldn't be any danger. You'd better stay here, go home and do all kinds of messy things, how much time do you have for weaving in a day?" Shopkeeper Han certainly disagreed.

"Shopkeeper, my sister works in your house, and this is also a matter of mutual consent. My sister works, and you pay her wages, but it's not for you. Why can't it work? If you say that, I won't let Qiao Yun is working here." When Qi Xiumei heard what shopkeeper Han said, she knew that things were not easy to handle, so she planned to play a rogue.

Mrs. Liu also realized now that Qiaoyun is a member of the Qi family, so it should be what the Qi family says. "That's right, Qiaoyun is from the Qi family, she is my daughter, so why should I say nothing? There are many things at home, and Qiaoyun must go back. If you don't agree, then don't let her here."

Mrs. Liu's words were naturally taking advantage of Qiao. Although she didn't know how much shopkeeper Han valued Qiaoyun, she could tell from the wages Qiaoyun took home that Qiaoyun's craftsmanship was indeed good.Liu felt that this was a bargaining chip, and she had to make good use of it, maybe she could get shopkeeper Han to raise Qiao Yun's wages.

Sure enough, when shopkeeper Han heard this, his expression changed.The key is that Qiaoyun works here, they really didn't sign a contract.Qiao Yun was someone their master personally took care of, and shopkeeper Han didn't even think about signing any contract.As a result, at this time, it was not good for him.

 I have been busy all afternoon before I have time to update.Dear friends, happy Laba Festival, huh, huh, here comes the second one.
