Chapter 4 Tooth Sacrifice ([-])

Shen Ji looked at Wei Ying, who had been sizing her up just now.

"Master, why is Aunt Wei so poor that she paid two taels of silver to buy me back?"

Wei Ying said slowly, "Because I am also born on the seventeenth day of the third month. It is said that Yin people born on the same day can protect me from disasters."

It turned out to be like this.Doesn't that mean that when Aunt Wei confirms that she can't save Wei Ying from the disaster, and the family really can't solve the problem, she will sell herself off.

"No, don't sell me!"

Wei Ying glanced at her, "You are very interesting, and I don't want my mother to sell you. But, if that day comes, everything in the house will be sold out..."

"Or, before that, I'd be dead."

Shen Ji subconsciously shook his head, "No, don't die!" How could he wish so viciously.But she is not willing to let her be sold again to raise medical funds for Wei Ying.

"Make money, is there any way to make money?" She looked at Wei Ying eagerly.

Wei Ying glanced at her with a very regretful look, "When I was in good health, I could write letters for others, and it cost two cents a piece. Although there are not many people who want to write letters, there is some income. Your handwriting It's too ugly, and it's missing arms and legs."

Only then did Shen Ji understand why Wei Ying was so happy when she knew she could read and write, and why she was so disappointed after reading her handwriting.She hasn't really practiced brush calligraphy, so it's good to be able to hold the brush correctly.Moreover, she wrote in simplified characters, so she didn't lack arms or legs.She can read Wei Ying's textbooks, and she can guess traditional Chinese characters pretty well.However, writing is difficult.There is no way to improve this in the short term.

"There must be a way. I can help your family with work, don't sell me."

Wei Ying glanced at her, "Before you either dropped the bowl or spilled water, and the kitchen was smoky after a fire. It's comparable to a useless scholar like me."

"That's because I don't want to work. I will work hard. If I don't run away, don't sell me. I will find a way to make money." Before that, she didn't think well, she just wanted to escape if she didn't want to be a slave .But after Wei Ying talked about it, she realized that this is not modern times, and she is just an eight-year-old girl who cannot work to earn money.Rather than running around and encountering some terrible things, it is better to go through the difficulties with the two mothers and sons who are not considered bad people.This account was quickly settled by Shen Zhi.

Wei Ying had said so many words for the first time, and his spirit was very tired. Seeing that she gave up the idea of ​​running away, he closed his eyes and rested his mind.If he really wanted to run away, wouldn't his mother's two taels of silver be wasted.

Shen Ji went out a little bit in a daze, and saw that Mrs. Wei was still busy, so she hurried over to help.

"Jing'er fell asleep?" Aunt Wei looked up at her.

"Yes."

"Why are you so restless?"

"Ma'am, I'm worried about the young master's illness, and whether the family is about to get out of control." Shen Ji didn't realize that when she talked about the Wei family, she used "family" to describe it very early on.

Speaking of these two things, Aunt Wei was also silent.

"Ma'am, let's think of a way together, do you think I can help you earn money?" Shen Ji thought about it, and if he didn't think about being a slave, he wouldn't be so repulsive.Just as Aunt Wei took her in, she paid off the debt with her work.When I grow up in the future and my wings harden, I will talk about leaving.

"You?" Aunt Wei was obviously worried about her ability to handle affairs.If it wasn't for her, she might be able to prevent disasters and be able to accompany Ying'er, she would have felt that her money was wasted.Moreover, it seems that there is no effect of preventing disasters now, and it is almost a idler, although he does not eat much.

"Mother, I will work hard in the future. I will feed the chickens and light the fire for you. In fact, I can also cook. Or, you can teach me how to embroider."

"Don't be busy with embroidery. You said you can cook, so let's cook first."

"Well, I'll start cooking tomorrow. In fact, I'll see how you cook the fire. Before, I just wanted to be lazy." Shen Ji lowered his head as he said.In good conscience, Aunt Wei treated her well.Although the food was poor and tasted bad, she ate the same food herself.Only when he ate egg soup for the first time, Shen Ji thought it was delicious.Because I was very hungry at that time.In fact, Mrs. Wei's craftsmanship is very bad.She is best at embroidery, and the vegetables she grows are not as good as those of the neighbors next door.

"You know how to cook?" Aunt Wei's eyes seemed to light up.

Shen Ji nodded. As a foodie, her craftsmanship is actually very good.She thought about it, Wei Ying is probably a sesame bun with a white face and a dark heart.Looking at a gentle young man, he actually has a lot of eyes.

However, what he said was also true.She is young, has no money, lacks food and clothing, and does not know her way when she goes far. Where can she run.Now, they can only help each other with the mother and son.

Shen Ji came to the kitchen, searched, found a white radish, and then, it was gone.There are also eggs that Wei Ying made a small stove.Then under the guidance of Aunt Wei, I found some flour.

"Mother, the young master said that he really doesn't want to eat eggs."

Aunt Wei wondered: "But, apart from eggs, the only thing that can make up for the family is the hen that lays eggs."

Seeing her hesitate for a moment, Shen Ji really reached out to get the kitchen knife, and sighed that he felt sorry for the parents of the world.Her own mother is also like this, she will eat whatever is delicious.

"Mother, there is no need to kill the chicken. What do you think of the fish soup?"

"Of course fish soup is good, but my family has no money to buy fish. Even if I buy it, I have to wait until I go to Jishang tomorrow."

Shen Ji waved his hand, "Auntie, there is a small stream at the head of the village. I have seen people go down to fish." She thought about it, and now she must make Aunt Wei feel that she is a useful person.However, she still can't make money and doesn't know how to make money.Moreover, she is now selling herself to the Wei family, and every penny she earns belongs to the Wei family.However, she is still willing to contribute to improving the food.After all, she also benefits herself.

Just this white radish is really not good for dinner.Moreover, she really wants to eat dry food.During this period of time, I always wake up hungry in the middle of the night, then get up and drink a ladle of cold water, and continue to sleep after drinking.Eating dry rice is definitely a luxury, and only Wei Ying in this family eats dry rice.Moreover, this year's harvest is definitely not good.Those ten acres of Susukida would definitely not receive much rent.The second half of the year will be even more difficult.Maybe you will live the life of eating chaff and swallowing vegetables and digging Guanyin soil in the legend.

We must find a way to solve food and clothing. It is summer now, so we don't need to think about temperature for the time being.It's really a big deal to have enough food.

Hearing what Shen Ji said about fishing in the river, Aunt Wei frowned, "Those are boys, I am a woman, how can I go fishing. Besides, I don't know how to do it."
