take a wife to support the family

Chapter 93

In many cases, people are forced out.

It's one thing that Lamei didn't have the opportunity to develop her own ideas when she was young, because she was always supported by someone in everything she did, and she really couldn't stand up.

Now that she lives with Lily, it is impossible for her to let Lily take the lead. Not only does Lily teach her to think and do things by herself, but she also has to force her to be the master of her own affairs.

Lily didn't care about it, Lamei was afraid for a while, so she had no choice but to go out and deliver tea eggs to her second sister.

As soon as she arrived on the street, Lamei felt that everyone in the street was staring at her, her black and yellow face, dry hair, dirt on her shoes... Many people were laughing, were they laughing at her?
Lamei was so nervous that she even forgot how to put her hands and feet. Usually, she would go out, but at that time, either Lily took her with her, or she received Lily's orders, and there was always someone who would be the backbone for her.

Only this time, it was her own idea, and she had to complete it by herself. She didn't know what to do, and the feeling of drumming up and down was extremely difficult.

Standing stiffly under a willow tree for a while, Lamei remembered that Lily said before leaving: "There are people coming and going on the street, and everyone has their own business. Who is staring at you? You think, when you walk on the road, you will Do you want to stare at everyone?"

It makes Lamei feel better to use her own heart to guess other people's hearts. She won't stare at people. Even if someone makes a fool of herself on the street, she doesn't remember it every time. It's the same for others?
After encouraging herself for a while, Lamei started on the road again, and when she reached the gate of Liu's Mansion, she hesitated for a while, and the porter said first, "You are the third girl from the Li family, aren't you?"

As soon as the concierge spoke, Lamei was startled, her face was like a frightened rabbit, and she replied in a low voice: "Yes, two big brothers, I'm here to find my second sister." After she finished speaking, she quickly added, "Oh, it's Li Yingchun!"

"Understood!" The concierge looked at each other, and thought that the sisters of the Li family were interesting. Needless to say, the eldest sister was generous, and the second child had a domineering temper. I heard that he could flirt with Mrs. Sheng. Another look, extremely timid, makes people feel cramped after watching for a long time.

The concierge let him go, but Lamei didn't remember how the chef was going, and stood there unable to advance or retreat. It was one of the older concierges who came to his senses: "Oh, you don't know how to go, wait here for a while, and when someone comes in, I call He takes you to the kitchen."

Standing behind the door, Lamei felt the gazes of the two porters sweeping her back and forth. She blushed with embarrassment, and was about to cry: she seemed to be embarrassing the eldest sister.

Then I thought of Lily and said, "What do you do outside, you lose your own people first, and then it's my parents and me's turn. Be generous and let people see that you are not a piece of mud that can't support the wall!"

After a while, a young servant came in from the outside, and the concierge hurriedly called to him: "This is Li Yingchun's sister in the kitchen, you take her there to find her."

This boy also has a sister who works as a servant girl in Liu's Mansion, usually Lily brings some delicious food, his sister always saves some for him, so he knows that Lily and Yingchun are sisters.It was the first time I saw Lamei, and I didn't know Lamei's temperament. While leading the way, I talked to Lamei: "Why didn't your eldest sister come?"

"The food made by your family is really delicious. My mother can't do it. She doesn't have that skill. I told my sister to learn more from Yingchun, but she is not happy."

"Are you coming back for the first time? Why haven't I seen you before. Our house lives well, eats well, and dresses well. You see, the robe on my upper body is so beautifully stitched! Why don't you also come to be a girl? "

……

The young man babbled on for a while, but he didn't realize that Lamei didn't answer a word, and he said it happily. When he saw that the kitchen finally shut up, Lamei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Finally, I don't have to answer those questions." .

Usually, when Yingchun sees Lily, she is very affectionate, but she is not as good as Lamei, but she has no choice but to welcome the girl Babaer, and she takes Lamei to her room to talk and give her tea, "What are you doing here? Why didn't the eldest sister come?" ?”

Yingchun spoke crisply and quickly, and Lamei froze for a moment before replying softly: "Elder sister has something to do, so she asked me to bring you tea eggs."

Yingchun ate really well in the Liu Mansion, she was the tallest among the three sisters, with the rosiest complexion, and a bit of a strong appearance.She also likes to eat. When she has nothing to do, when she hears that there are tea eggs, she peels one and eats it first: "Well, it's delicious! Sister made it new?"

If you are a girl for others, you must have eyesight. Yingchun keenly found an opportunity in the tea eggs, and hurriedly dragged Lamei to see Mrs. Sheng: "Mother, you should try the tea eggs brought by my sister!"

As expected, Mrs. Sheng liked the tea eggs very much. Mrs. Sheng asked how she made them. Yingchun smashed the winter plums with her elbow, and the winter plums moved aside, still a little dazed: This, is this talking to Mrs. Sheng?
Lamei couldn't answer, and Mrs. Sheng was not in a hurry. She ate the eggs in her hand slowly, wiped her hands with a towel, and said, "The tea has a strong taste and a little star anise. What are you using for seasoning? Autumn oil ? Guangqiu oil can’t adjust such umami taste, what else?”

Lamei plucked up her courage and said, "Baitang."

"What?"

Lamei recalled how Lily cooked tea eggs, and at the same time explained the ingredients and process. Her voice was low and she spoke slowly, but fortunately, she was clear enough. Aunt Sheng asked her a few questions, but she also spoke slowly. answered.

Yingchun was anxious to get angry, and Mrs. Sheng smiled and said: "Your sister speaks slowly, and you know what you know. Don't worry." According to her, this Lamei may not be worse than Yingchun girl in the future.

"Hmph, San Niu is the stupidest at home, and I don't know what Eldest Sister is thinking, so I asked her to deliver such a good thing!" Yingchun was full of disgust for her sister.

Ever since she became a girl in the Liu Mansion, Yingchun's knowledge is much higher than that of her sisters, and it's not just a matter of a day or two that she looks down on Lily and Lamei.

Later, Lily turned around and made people look at her with admiration. Yingchun didn't dare to look down on her anymore, but Lamei was still as cowardly and timid as usual.

It's one thing for her to take care of her sister, but it's another thing to look down on her useless appearance and say it when she sees her.

When Yingchun talked about Lamei, she was in the same tune as Zhu Shi. Now Lamei was very annoyed by Zhu Shi. He listened to the anger rising and murmured softly: "I'm not the most stupid."

"What are you talking about?" Yingchun almost jumped up, her Lamei will still talk back one day?
Lamei's voice amplified a little: "I said, I've been with the eldest sister, and I will become smarter in the future, so I'm not the most stupid."

The two sisters quarreled, and Aunt Sheng laughed straight at the sight: "You are still young, so you should be angry about such an idea?"

Yingchun said: "My aunt doesn't know, I get angry when I see her!"

Lamei said slowly: "Do what you can."

An honest person can make people choke when they get angry, Yingchun loves to show off her ability, Lamei's attack really hit her heart, Yingchun immediately felt that the girl was not caring at all, and angrily wanted to ignore her.

After Madam Sheng asked, seeing that Lamei really had nothing to say to her, she said, "It's done, you sisters go play."

Yingchun was really looking forward to this sound, when she got up and left with Lamei, she scolded her on the way: "Look at your wimpy appearance, it makes me feel ashamed too."

The eldest sister has never made her feel ashamed.

Lamei said in her heart: The way you scorpion stings makes the elder sister ashamed!It's just that she was soft-tempered and didn't say anything.

She came here with all her heart to deliver tea eggs to Yingchun, but Yingchun's reaction made her feel that her hot face was attached to her cold ass, listening to Yingchun's rebuke, Lamei felt more and more uncomfortable, stopped and said: "Then I'll go back. "

"What are you in a hurry for?" Yingchun said loudly, "Come on, I have something nice for you."

Speaking of which, Yingchun's temperament is like this, not only does she look down on the girl, but also wants to leave some good things for her.She dug out a pair of small tremella pendants from her cage, and handed them to Lamei: "Here, I didn't even give them to my elder sister, I just kept them for you."

Yingchun always remembered that she and Lamei only had their ears pierced when they were young, and they used cotton thread to hang two peppercorns and put them through the holes to prevent the piercing from growing.The cotton thread is too thin, and it needs to be pulled a few times a day to slide freely. When the eyes and ears get wet, pus bleeds, and the two earlobes are bloody.

Lamei is a crying bag when beating children. At that time, she held her ears and cried every day. Yingchun heard people say that wearing a silver ear pendant would prevent festering. When she went back and told Lamei, Lamei said enviously: "Second sister, grow up in the future." We’re old enough, if only we could wear silver earrings!”

Yingchun said proudly: "Don't worry, I'm so capable, I will definitely give you a pair!"

I don't know when it started, Lamei slowly turned into a wooden figure, forgetting what crying is, what is shedding tears, and never mentioning the earrings.Yingchun also gradually became less close to girls, she prefers those who are smart, good-looking, and eloquent.

Lamei didn't mention the earrings anymore, but Yingchun still remembered that when she won a reward the other day, the first thing she thought of was Lamei, and Tete left it for her, and said: "I don't like this thing, so it's just right for you. "

Lamei was a little grateful for the fact that the second sister still remembered to save things for herself, but when she heard this hurt her heart, she immediately became annoyed: "We are only worthy of what you have left!"

Yingchun was stunned: "Why don't you know what's good or bad?"

Lamei became even more angry: "Why don't I know what's good? I know which one is good to me, but you, don't pretend to be good to me, because I think I'm not as good as you. You are a girl, how noble are you?" ? You only feel that you are doing well when you look at my poor life. You have such a crooked mind, bah! Earrings are given to whomever you like, I don’t care! "

Seeing Lamei talking back for the first time, Yingchun was more surprised than angry, and trembling with anger when she reacted, she threw the earrings in her hand to the ground: "Get out, get out!"

Lamei was even more unwilling to back down: "I can't set foot on noble land, and from now on, I will never associate with you, a noble person!"
