"Ma'am." The little flower seller was wearing thin clothes with patches all over her body. It was already cold this day, and her lips were blackened from the cold.

"Tweety, why are you here? Is there something wrong?" The last time Lin Ruyi saw her was more than a month ago when she sold herself to bury her mother.

Tweety plopped and knelt down in front of her, tears immediately fell down.

"Ma'am, I sold myself to you before, and you said that I would pick flowers and return them to you, but now it's cold and there are no flowers. Can you, can you let me lay a floor in your firewood house? My house is occupied by my third uncle. I have nowhere to live, I really have nowhere to go.

Madam, please take pity on me.I am willing to do anything, I can do anything.It's cold, let me wash your clothes, I'm not afraid of the cold. Tweety knelt on the ground, not knowing whether it was too cold or too sad, her body was shaking all the time.

Lin Ruyi saw that Tweety was thinner than before, really skinny, with wounds on her neck and wounds on her hands, it was really pitiful.

"Get up first and come in with me." Lin Ruyi saw that the alley was full of people, so she called them into the house before talking.

Tweety quickly got up from the ground, but she felt a little dizzy and staggered a little.

Lin Ru saw the complaint and supported Tweety, she was really too thin, her arms were full of bones.

"Have you had breakfast?" Lin Ruyi asked.

Tweety shook her head lightly. Not only did she not have breakfast, she hadn't eaten for two days.

After she buried her mother, her third uncle's family occupied the house. If she wanted to live at home, she would have to do a lot of work every day, but she could only eat two steamed buns a day.

Like now that it's cold and there's not much work at home, they didn't want her to stay at home for dinner, so they drove her out.

Lin Ruyi helped Cui'er in, and Chu An'an and Chu Zijun immediately recognized her as the flower seller.

"Miss, why are you here? Sit down quickly." Chu Anan walked over and asked.

Tweety forced out a smile, ashamed to explain her reason for coming.

After Lin Ruyi asked Tweety to sit down, she went to the kitchen to have a look. It was Chu Jieyi's cooking in the morning, and she couldn't eat it.

Fortunately, there was half a bowl of rice porridge left, so she warmed it up and brought it out to Tweety.

"This is the only one at home for now, you can eat it while it's hot." Lin Ruyi said to Cui'er.

Cui'er looked at the white rice porridge, her eyes became hot, and she immediately knelt on the ground.

"Thank you ma'am, thank you." She kowtowed and thanked.

Lin Ruyi really didn't like it, and others would kneel down on her every now and then.

"Get up quickly, eat the food first, while it's still hot, it won't taste good when it gets cold." Lin Ruyi pulled Tweety up.

Tweety stood up, picked up the chopsticks, and carefully ate the bowl, with tears dripping down the bowl.

Tweety quickly finished the rice porridge in the bowl, and then stood stiffly holding the bowl.

"Ma'am, I'm going to do the dishes." Tweety looked in the direction of the kitchen, but she didn't dare to go there without Lin Ruyi's permission.

"Go, I'll find you some clothes." Lin Ruyi saw that the clothes on Tweety's body were too thin, just an autumn dress, and it's already winter, and wearing only that can't resist the cold at all.

Tweety nodded quickly, and took the bowl to the kitchen.

She found the water tank, scooped up a little water to wash the dishes, and placed them next to her.

Lin Ruyi found a piece of her previous clothes, which was a thin jacket. Although it was old, it was better than the clothes Tweety was wearing.

After showing Tweety to put it on, he called her into the room for questioning.

"Is there no one else in your family?" Lin Ruyi asked.

Tweety shook her head, "My father got sick the year before last, and my mother passed away two months ago, so I'm the only one left."

"Are grandparents gone?" Lin Ruyi asked.

Tweety shook her head, "It's gone."

"Where are the other elders in the family? You sell yourself to me, and I want to make sure they won't come to trouble me in the future." Lin Ruyi originally planned to find someone to help the family, but now Tweety is willing to come, and she has also contacted her several times, Learn a little about her.

I don't know anything about other people, so I might as well ask Tweety for help.

"No, they won't care about my life." Tweety said resolutely.

Lin Ruyi always felt uneasy, but seeing Tweety's pitiful appearance, she felt a little bit reluctant.

If you drive her away, she will definitely starve to death.

"Then you stay here first. Can you cook?" Lin Ruyi asked.

"Yes, although I'm not very good at it, I can learn." Tweety nodded immediately.

"Can you do other housework?" Lin Ruyi asked.

"I can do anything," Tweety said.

"Okay, then you are in charge of making breakfast. I will tell you what to do the next morning the night before, and you just do what I tell you. Breakfast is usually not too difficult, it is simple. Then it is cleaning, Help with the laundry. Others depend on the situation. If you have something to do, you can do it, and if you have nothing to do, you can rest. I will give you a tael of silver every month, okay?" Lin Ruyi asked.

Mainly, she felt that winter was too cold, and it was really hard for Tweety to help them wash the family's clothes.

"No, I don't need money. My wife just needs to give me a place to live and take care of my meals." Tweety waved her hand quickly, as long as she can take care of my meals, she can't ask for money.

"It's okay, that's what you deserve, then I'll calculate your wages as one or two taels of silver a month. Take care of food and housing, and reimburse half of the medical expenses if you get sick." Lin Ruyi said.

Tweety heard that she still has to take care of half of the medical expenses, which is great.

"Thank you Ma'am, Tweety has been your cow and horse all my life." Tweety said with emotion.

"Too serious, then I'll take you to the room where you live." Lin Ruyi got up and took Tweety to another side room.

It is opposite to the room where Yangliu lived before, and there is no bed in it, only a low couch.

Tweety didn't dislike it at all, and was very satisfied, which was much better than the cowshed she slept in before.

Lin Ruyi found a quilt for Tweety to spread by herself, and found some old clothes so that Tweety could change and wash them.

For lunch, she cooks herself, making four dishes and one soup.

Tweety helped her and kept learning from the side.

Cui'er and Yang Liu are hard-working people, they don't need Lin Ruyi's instructions, they just find work by themselves, never idle for a moment.

With Tweety's help, Lin Ruyi is free again.

Lin Cheng has already started to keep accounts, not only keeping notes, but also keeping some accounts at home.

Lin Ruyi checks every day, basically there is nothing wrong, and if there is any mistake, it will be corrected immediately.

Three days passed immediately, and Lin Fulai continued to work.

But not only he came, her mother and Yang Liu also came.

"Mother, sister-in-law three, are you here to go to the market?" Lin Ruyi brought the two of them into the house, and Tweety went to pour water immediately upon seeing this.

Seeing Cui'er, Sun Hehua was stunned for a moment, then pulled Lin Ruyi aside and asked, "Who was that girl who poured water just now? Why are there always many people in your family?"
