Blessed Peasant Woman of Time Traveling

Chapter 19

He Shi was confused by Ding Xiang's actions, "Second girl, what are you doing?"

Haitang was still sitting there unpacking the old cotton-padded clothes, without raising her head, she said, "Mother, Ding Xiang is thinking about how to make money."

Ding Xiang shook He's arm and said: "Mother, although our family has a few taels of silver, we can save some money to live besides building a new house, but we can't sit and eat. My sister said that I will raise more chickens and pigs in the coming year, but in case someone steals it If you get sick, or get sick accidentally, you will lose money instead of earning money, so... I thought about going to the county to see which one would accept a girl, so that I could earn a monthly subsidy for the family, not to mention, being a girl is also a problem. It’s easier than working in the fields, and I’ll be able to find a good husband when I’m healthy and tender.”

He Shi was taken aback when he heard that, "Being a girl?"

Ding Xiang didn't want to be a girl for someone else's family, but she just coaxed Mrs. He so that she could get away and go to the county.

"Mother, isn't it great to be a girl? The food, clothing, and housing are better than ours, and the work is easier than mine. The most important thing is that I can still earn a monthly allowance, and the family also saves my rations."

Ding Xiang's words really moved Mrs. He a little bit, Mrs. He bit his tongue, thought for a while, and said: "Although there are many benefits to being a girl for a rich family, but you have to be disciplined, and you may be beaten and scolded. Can you stand it?"

"As long as I work hard, listen to my master, don't talk nonsense and don't meddle in other things, there's no need for them to beat me or scold me. Mother, it's settled like this." Ding Xiang said and went to make medicine for Haitang. Don't let He make any more fuss.

Haitang felt that it was feasible, so she said, "Mother, you can let the second sister try it. If there is a rich family to accept the girl, it's better if she is more knowledgeable than staying in this ravine. Anyway, if you don't sign a death contract, do it." You can come back in a year or so. If you come from a rich family, people look down on you, and you can choose a better one to marry, maybe you can marry in Liangfeng Town."

He couldn't make up his mind, so he went out of the house and called Meng Gui in who was digging the foundation there.

Unexpectedly, Meng Gui felt good when he heard it, nodded in agreement, and said that there are many people who can't bear poverty and let their girls go to the county to be maids, and they seem to be looking for a person from the south of the county, named Zhang He knew that some people in the county accepted girls, and they were very prudent, so Ding Xiang could just ask the person surnamed Zhang Yazi when the time came.It's done, just give someone five cents.

Ding Xiang was secretly happy, she could finally visit the county.

Mrs. He is a person who can't hide his thoughts. As soon as he left the house, he said to the uncle and nephew of the Wei family: "My Ding Xiang really has an idea. She even thought of going to the county to be a maid for a rich family. It’s not bad for a good family.”

Wei Xiaozi nodded and said yes, "Your girl is quite thoughtful at such a young age."

Wei Dashan smacked his tongue, "Tsk tsk tsk..."

He was confused, "Brother Dashan, do you think there is anything wrong with this?"

Wei Dashan said with a sneer: "What's so good about a good girl going to be someone else's slave. Some of those big families treat girls as human beings. If they are not good at their hands and feet, they will definitely be rejected. It is commonplace to be beaten and scolded." In my opinion, the second girl of your family is not bad-looking, but her temper is a bit..., and her work is actually not very..."

Ding Xiangben was brewing medicine at the door of the house, and when Wei Dashan only spoke half of what he said, with a teasing tone, he walked over and poked his neck and said, "What's wrong with my temper, and what's wrong with my work?"

Wei Dashan quickly shook his head, "I didn't say anything, actually what I meant was that you should not be taken advantage of by the princes of rich families, or forced to be a concubine, that would be miserable!"

Ding Xiang didn't want to be a girl at all. Hearing what he said, Ding Xiang smiled, "This is my business, can you control it? I'm happy to be a rich man's concubine. Don't be in my parents' house." Blind in front of you!"

Wei Dashan was choked speechless, he looked at Meng Gui and He Shi again, they didn't say anything.Meng Gui and the He family really thought so. It seemed good to be a concubine for a big family in the county, at least not poor. Wouldn't the position be stable if she gave birth to a son and a half daughter?So they really didn't want to stop Lilac.

Wei Dashan was completely convinced, Meng Gui and He Shi had little knowledge and would not plan for their daughter, and Ding Xiang was fearless, and would never turn back until he hit the south wall.

What can he say? It's not his own family business. If he continues to talk, he will only get annoyed.At this time, Shorty Wei was still winking at him, not wanting him to meddle in other people's family affairs.It's just that Wei Dashan is inexplicably anxious, Haitang has been ruined like this, if Dingxiang is taken advantage of by men again and then abandoned, will her family live through this day, and will she be able to go out after being scolded?
But... being nosy is really not his hobby.

The next day, Ding Xiang happily went out.Besides her pocket money, Haitang also gave her twenty Wen.But Meng Gui and He Shi made an agreement with Ding Xiang that if they didn't find a suitable family within three days, they should go home immediately!Ding Xiang responded with a full mouth.

There is a road in Qingshan Town that leads directly to the county. Don’t take any forks on the road. You can go north all the way to the county.When Ding Xiang went out, Wei's nephew and uncle happened to come to work, and Wei Dashan looked at Ding Xiang's back and was really worried.

But after thinking about it, if the girl insisted on going, he couldn't just beg for nothing and block the way.

To Ding Xiang's surprise, she ran into her cousin Sun Hong on the way!Sun Hong was also surprised, "Ding Xiang, you are not going to the county, are you?"

When Ding Xiang saw him, she became angry, "You don't care about me!"

Knowing that Ding Xiang was still angry about Haitang, Sun Hong said again: "Ding Xiang, is your sister okay? Don't worry, my job as an errand in the county government is almost settled. Today I will go to the county to see her brother Ma Nao. gone."

"Is my sister okay? If I say she's not good, what can you do for her? You and Manao are already engaged, and now you're all focused on getting an errand, so you don't care about my sister."

Sun Hong didn't know how to answer. Now he was really looking forward to finding a job in the county government, to get ahead early, and stop digging in the soil with his face to the loess and his back to the sky. When the time came, he would take over Haitang and the child to live.

But at this time, he really couldn't do anything for Haitang, he couldn't let the Shan family know about him and Haitang, so he didn't want to say anything more about it, "Ding Xiang, what are you going to do in the county, if you need anything I will help, and I will do my best."

"I'm just going to look around the county. It's fine. When I get to the county, take me around the county government office and let me know where you will live a good life in the future."

Sun Hong looked a little embarrassed, "Okay."

They arrived in the county not long after the sun went down. The county was much more lively than the town. It was almost dark and many shops were not proofed. There were also many people walking on the street. There is everything.

Sun Hong first took her around the county government office. He admired the gate of the county government office from a distance, and he couldn't hide his longing eyes.Thinking about it, he is an out-and-out farmer, but he has only studied for two years, and he wants to work in this noble place. If he is not engaged to Agate, he will never have the opportunity to leave the farm in his life.

Ding Xiang had seen enough and was about to leave when she saw a black-faced strong man running out and asked Sun Hong, "Are you my brother-in-law Sun Hong?"

Ding Xiang laughed secretly, Sun Hong and his sister were just engaged, and this strong man even called his brother-in-law.But the strong man was not very enthusiastic. He looked at Sun Hong a few times and felt that this brother-in-law was fairly handsome, much better than his sister, not to mention that he had read books, and he was better than himself who could not read a word.

Although he was not particularly satisfied with Sun Hong, he felt that he was more than enough to match his sister.Instead, he looked at Ding Xiang and asked suspiciously, "Who is this girl, and why are you with her?"

Sun Hong hurriedly bowed and bowed, "Brother, Ding Xiang is my cousin. She came to the county for business, and she met me on the way. We didn't come by appointment."

Ding Xiang glanced at them, "Go ahead, I'm leaving."

Sun Hong didn't dare to say send her off, let Ding Xiang go.

The black-faced strong man didn't care, pointed to a row of small houses on the left side of the county government office and said, "Come on, I'll take you to meet my uncle, let him touch your bottom first, and see what abilities you have, so that he can help you Ask for an errand in front of the county magistrate."

Sun Hong's face turned red immediately, "Okay, thank you brother." After speaking, he hurriedly followed behind the black-faced strong man.

Lilac looked back and glanced, thinking that he would be counseled by Sun Hong. If he dared to take off agate in the future, the black -faced strong man would not beat him to death. possible.

When Ding Xiang came to the street, when she saw a little girl in rags begging by playing the flute, her idea of ​​buying flute and Xiao was immediately blown away.
