Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 40

Early the next morning, Xia Junyan was going to go up the mountain with Xiaoyu.I was packing my bags at home, when suddenly Xiaoyu came running back from the outside, "Quick! Ah Xia, hide your things quickly!!"

The next moment, Li's voice sounded.

"Ah Xia, my aunt brought you some white noodles! I saw you look thin yesterday, but you haven't eaten well these days. Hey, your aunt's family has a large population. If you don't have enough to eat, just tell your aunt, Auntie’s house doesn’t have any good food, but there are still some steamed buns made of white flour. A-Xia? A-Xia, where are you?”

The two stuffed things under the bed in a panic. Xia Junyan looked in the room several times to make sure that she would not reveal her secrets. Then she opened the door and walked into the yard: "Thank you, Aunt Li. I have always been like this. Life is good, don't bother Aunt Li."

Mrs. Li looked around at Xia's house. After being beaten up by Liu Wu and others last time, Xia Junyan had no time or money to repair it. Now even the door is broken.The windows were also leaking, and there was nothing in the yard except a broken stool and a straw mat.Covering her face, Li said sadly: "Back then your father owed a large sum of money to the gambling house, and he didn't know how you would pay it back as a girl. Although my aunt's words were not nice, she told the truth. It was also to underestimate you when you grew up. Yes, if Liu Tou from the town comes again next time, what will you do!"

Xia Junyan looked at Li Shi in surprise.This woman doesn't seem to be sympathetic, what the hell is she thinking?
"I think it's pitiful for you to dig wild vegetables in the mountains every day. Auntie has acquaintances in the town, and the family is short of a little maid. Don't sell your life, just help take care of the old man. It's a big family, how many people want to send their daughter to the capital?" There's no way. It just so happens that I can talk to their family, so I'm thinking of us, A-Xia right now." Li Shi blew up the sky lake in his sister's house.

The two discussed it, and rashly proposing marriage to Xia Junyan would arouse the other party's suspicion.It's better to stay at Li Chun'e's husband's house for a while.Now that everyone is in the mansion, the rest of the matter is easier.Li Chun'e's husband's surname is Zhou, and they have a family in Zhouji Buzhuang in Yun'an Town. They are also a famous person, and after a little inquiring, they know that there is indeed an old lady in his mansion.

Li felt that Xia Junyan would not object to this proposal.The Zhou family has money, but Xia Junyan is short of money, and she doesn't want her to sign the deed of sale. She has been served for three coins a month. If it wasn't for face and figure, Li would want to go!
"The old lady of the Zhou Mansion is kind and not difficult to serve. If you agree, I will tell the Zhou Mansion right away!"

If Xia Junyan had just come here and heard Li Shi's proposal, she might have gritted her teeth and really agreed.But now you want to send her away for just three coins?At the beginning, the big brother Zhuangshi went out once or twice a month, so she pretended that she had never seen the world!
"I'm clumsy, and I can't do the delicate work of serving people. If I can't serve the old lady well, I will also hurt my aunt."

Xia Junyan was having a headache on how to coax Li Shi out.Seeing the door that looked like a decoration, Xia Junyan gritted her teeth secretly - even if she doesn't live here, she still needs to fix the door firmly!

Mrs. Li wanted to persuade her again, but unexpectedly, a little Douding rushed over with a high-pitched voice outside the door: "Axia, where is my sister!!" Mrs. Li turned around, and it was Mrs. An's youngest son, Changsheng, who came here. , the voice is loud, must be shouting everywhere.She came to find Xia Junyan in private, and she didn't want many people to know.Impatiently glaring at the boy, he persuaded again: "Ah Xia, think about it, and tell your aunt when the time comes."

"Huh... Fortunately, longevity is here." Xiaoyu came out of the room with a bamboo basket on her back, "I was always worried that she would break into the house directly just now! Bah, disturbed and kind guy!"
