Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 78
Zhang Xiaocao was happy when she heard the words, this is free labor for free, and it happens that the land at home has to be taken care of by someone, and with these three people, she can save a lot of trouble!

At this moment, she looked at the three of them very pleasing to the eye!

The patriarch has no objection, as long as these three people stay in Zhangjia Village honestly, it doesn't matter if they sell to anyone!Some villagers felt a little regretful, but they didn't say anything when they thought that the three had stolen Zhang Xiaocao's house.

Just like that, Zhang Xiaocao easily took the three men who had repented and returned home...

On the way home, Zhang Xiaocao learned about the life experiences of the three of them after general inquiries.

Speaking of which, the three of them are also poor people. The original name of the leader was Qin Gouzi. Zhang Xiaocao thought the name was ugly, so he changed his name on the spot to Qin Zhong. He lost his father when he was five years old. He was only seven years old that year, so he had to wander around. Later, he met Shorty Tong and Slender Liang who were also homeless and begged for a living.

He also picked up the name Tong Xiaozi casually. He didn't know his last name at all, so Zhang Xiaocao named him Tong Xiao.

Liang Shouzi also wandered around at a young age, and his memory has long been blurred. His greatest expectation is to have enough food every day, so he took Liang (Liang) as his surname. Because he is tall and very thin, he is called Shouzi, Zhang Xiao Grass helped him change his name to Liang Yi!
Now, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness are all in place!

The act of Zhang Xiaocao bringing the three thieves home frightened Grandma Zhang. It was Zhang Xiaocao who spent a lot of time talking and explaining several times before Grandma Zhang reluctantly accepted it.

Zhang Xiaocao knew grandma's worries, and it wasn't that she hadn't thought about the three of them being habitual thieves. It might be bad if they were left behind, but she was still willing to try and give them a chance to reform. There can also be a few more good helpers. There are so many lands in the house that need to be managed by others. If she takes care of everything on herself, won't she be exhausted?
However, she still thinks that she should communicate with them first and give them some reminders that she doesn't want them to do some taboo things.

After sending grandma away to make dinner, Zhang Xiaocao called these people into the main room, and said straight to the point: "If you sell yourself to me, then from now on, you will be mine, but don't worry, I won't do it." You don't have to treat yourself as slaves when something humiliates you. The reason why you are kept is because I hope you can really reform yourself. You are still young, have hands and feet, and have done so many years of sneaking. I want to come to you Tired too! Now that you have this opportunity, you should work hard, I will not treat you badly, and you will treat yourself as the long-term workers I hired, but the length of time is up to me! As long as you work hard, the year-end I will give you wages, and I will give you a lot of the long-term workers in other places. You can eat whatever my family eats. If you have plans to start a family and start a business in the future, I am happy to see it happen!"

Zhang Xiaocao carefully observed their reactions, seeing that they couldn't believe it, and gave them time to digest!

After careful understanding, the three of them were all overjoyed. Originally, they wanted to have a place to live and not have to live in fear. They were afraid that one day they would be caught and be dragged to cut off their hands and feet. Now they can behave like a normal person. Live like a human being, and in the future, they may not be able to find a daughter-in-law, and their own children, a family and a happy life, this is what they all want in their dreams!

But before they were happy for too long, Zhang Xiaocao poured a basin of cold water down.

"However, remember it for me. Put away those bad habits in the past. I don't want anyone in the village who loses a chicken to put the chicken thief on you! What did you do before? There are many, I will not look down on you, but there are many people in the village who have prejudice against you, you have to fight for yourselves, your contract of sale is still in my hand, this thing is of little use to me, but it can affect yours Children and grandchildren, once you do something taboo, I will not give you any chance, just sell it!"

Zhang Xiaocao's words made the three of them tremble, and almost at the same time, they secretly told themselves to be a new person and not to make the same mistakes as before!As for escaping, they never thought about it at all. After signing the deed of selling themselves, they are regarded as slaves. Even if they escaped, they have no household registration and guidance. The ending of the fugitive slaves was very miserable. Almost all of them were exiled to the coldest frontiers or mines to work as coolies. There would be no room for recovery in their lives. There was only one final ending, and that was—death!

Therefore, this is also the most fundamental reason why Zhang Xiaocao didn't leave after suffering all the hardships in the Zhang family!

The three of them didn't want to sneak around, but they had to do it because of life. Now that they have a chance to settle down, how could they not seize it?So they all promised Zhang Xiaocao again and again that they must be a good person and work hard!

Zhang Xiaocao was very satisfied with their performance, with a smile on her face at night, and her voice was much gentler: "Of course, we are one now, if someone bullies you or deliberately embarrasses you, I will defend you, in a word In other words, if people don’t offend me, I won’t offend others. If people offend me, I will pay back! Have you remembered everything clearly?”

The three of them warmed up in their hearts, they looked at each other, and said to Accountant Xiaocao solemnly: "Miss, we will keep this in mind, and we will definitely not embarrass you!"

Miss?

The corner of Zhang Xiaocao’s mouth twitched, and she was very unimpressed with this term. She waved her hand and said, “These words should not just be said nicely, but should be kept in your heart and reminded yourself all the time! Also, from now on, you will call them directly. My name, don’t call me Miss, I’m not a Miss either!”

The three of them were in a bit of a dilemma. If they really wanted to call them by their first names, they dared not!
"How about we call you Little Grass Girl?"

This is more respectful, and they can accept it!

Zhang Xiaocao felt that this title was good, and it sounded better than Miss, so she nodded.

After dinner, Zhang Xiaocao's headache came again. The house was not spacious, except for the main room, there were only two rooms, one was for her and grandma, and the other was for Mu Hua. Things, but let two sheep live, there are three more people, and they don't even have a place to live.

Mu Hua is not at home, but she can spare it, but she is unwilling, Mu Hua is extremely insecure and sensitive because of what happened when she was a child, if she does this, he must think that he is not important, and will become more sensitive and inferior !
Moreover, although women are not strictly controlled in this era, it is absolutely unacceptable for a woman to live under the same roof with a strange man!

At this moment, Zhang Xiaocao's desire to build a new house is extremely strong!Although this thatched house can keep out the wind and rain, it is not warm. It is freezing in winter and hot in summer. She has thought about this a long time ago, but she ignored it because she was so focused on cotton. Now that she thinks about it again, she just Thinking that when the work is done in the second half of the year, I must build a blue brick and tile house, a house similar to a courtyard like Lizheng's house.
