Parents are busy farming

Then he spoke slowly.

"My name is Luo Keren, and I am from Luojia Village, ten miles away in the west of the county. I originally had a happy family, with parents who loved us, and a sister who doted on me. My sister is smart, smart and beautiful, and anyone who wants to marry me will ask for it. The threshold has been leveled. I still have ten acres of fertile farmland at home, and I have no worries about food and drink. I am now a little rich. I have always lived innocently."

When the girl said this, a happy smile appeared on her lips unconsciously.

"It's just that my family's happy life was ruined by one person, and that person was Master Fu. Master Fu owned a hundred acres of land upstream of my family. When he went to check the fields, he happened to meet my sister who was delivering water to my parents in the fields. . As soon as he saw my sister's appearance, the old bastard became lustful. Within two days, an evil slave came to my door and informed my parents that Master Fu wanted to take my sister as his concubine. My family would not allow it. "

Speaking of this, the little girl seemed to be back to that time again, with anxiety and sadness on her face.

Ye Zifen reached out and grabbed her hand, giving her strength.

Luo Keren came to his senses immediately, tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes.

Ye Zifen took out her handkerchief, wiped her tears, and waited until she calmed down a bit before asking, "Did they use despicable means?"

When Luo Keren heard Ye Zifen's question, he nodded and continued: "There is a river in our village for the villagers to irrigate and drink. When Master Fu saw that my family disagreed, he directly ordered the evil servant to block the river water, so that the entire Luojia Village could They even told the villagers directly that it was because my sister did not agree to be her concubine. At first, the villagers were as angry as my parents, but as time went by, the villagers' lives became inconvenient, and the crops in the village needed irrigation. There was nothing we could do. So someone started complaining about my family."

Ye Zifen heard this and asked: "Didn't you try to report it to the official?"

Luo Keren quickly said: "I reported it, why didn't I report it? After the Yamen came, he really stopped stopping us from using the river water, but the river water was often salty. After the villagers irrigated the crops, the leaves of the crops turned yellow at first, and then they all turned yellow. died."

When Ye Zifen heard this, his eyes immediately became fierce. Then he asked: "You didn't report it to the official?"

Luo Keren said: "I reported it, but the river water was no longer salty at that time, and there was no evidence to prove that he made the river water salty, so this had to be like this. From then on, the villagers vented their anger on my house He also often called my sister a loser. One day, my sister suddenly disappeared. My parents and I were so anxious that we couldn’t find her. Later, a slave from the Fu family came to inform us that my sister should be found directly. I paid the master a favor and offered to be his concubine."

Ye Zifen has already guessed that if she wants to calm down the villagers' anger and save her family, this is the only way her sister can go.

Zi Zifen's voice was filled with infinite desolation: "Did something happen again later?"

Luo Keren nodded and became angry, "After my parents knew that my sister had done this, they were worried all day long, and gradually their health became worse. But the most fatal thing was that soon there was news in the Fu family that my sister and The young man, Shitong, died of miscarriage. And the one who reported my sister was Master Fu."

At this time, Luo Keren's expression seemed to be cannibalistic, filled with hatred.

"When my parents heard the news, they fell ill. Later, they both passed away on the same day. In a good family, I was the only one left alive. I also wanted to follow my parents and sister, but I was unwilling to do so. , I won’t be willing to say anything until I see the Fu family being punished."

Luo Keren's voice was full of anger.

Ye Zifen only felt distressed after hearing this, "Why did you sell yourself into slavery again?"

Luo Keren regained some sense and said: "I heard that the Fu family wanted to buy a girl again, so I sold myself, but I was disturbed by that Hsinchu guy. Fortunately, God paid off and gave me another chance. This opportunity came to me by myself. Seeing that the third lady was about to fall into it, I wanted to find an opportunity to tell you in the next two days, but I didn't expect that you would find out about it yourself. "

Ye Zifen nodded, not doubting what she said. To put it mildly, she was the only one she could rely on if she wanted to take revenge.

"Don't worry, I will let you see that day. I see that you are clever and courageous. From here on, you will be the steward of this backyard. Can you manage these girls well?" Ye Zi said Fin fell in love with the girl even more after hearing her story.

When Luo Keren heard this, he immediately nodded vigorously and promised: "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely do a good job!"

Ye Zifen was very relieved about her, "I'm going to dye the cloth tomorrow, but there are some temperature control issues inside. Just keep it under control and don't tell others, okay?"

Luo Keren didn't expect that the young lady could dye cloth, so he nodded harder.

Zi Zifen took her outside and asked everyone to stop.

Everyone looked puzzled. Seeing what the fifth young lady said to the third young lady, the third young lady nodded.

Then Fifth Miss stood in front of everyone and announced loudly: "From today on, Luo Ke will become your manager, and she will lead you to work. If you need anything, you can tell Manager Luo or me. Everyone knows Yet?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion at first, and then someone showed a jealous expression on their face, but no one dared to raise an objection.

"Slaves understand!" everyone replied.

Ye Zifen looked at Luo Keren and said, "If you have any questions in the future, tell me immediately. As for the things you care about, don't wait and watch the excitement."

Luo Keren nodded.

Ye Zifen and Ye Zifei unlocked the door and returned to the front yard.

Luo Keren began to lecture everyone: "I know some people have objections to my being a manager, but now I am a manager. If you have the ability, you can talk to the fifth lady. If you don't talk to the fifth lady, you are doing small things behind your back. , don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Seeing a few people with their eyes lowered and expressions of dissatisfaction on their faces, Luo Keren didn't take them seriously. They had been together for more than a month, and she had a certain understanding of everyone's personalities and tempers.

"Starting from today, all the threads spun by the spinning group have been marked. The next day we can only use the threads spun by ourselves. There are not enough threads and less cloth is produced. Don't blame the fifth lady at the end of the month for the low monthly salary. .”

During this time, she really discovered some problems. Since she was in charge, she had to manage everything in the backyard.

When someone heard this, they immediately raised an objection: "Guanshi Luo, you know me. I'm good at weaving, but I always spin poorly. What should I do?"

Another person quickly said: "Yes! Manager Luo, I am good at spinning, but I am very slow at weaving. Doesn't that mean I won't get much money this month?"

Luo Keren thought for a while and said: "If anyone feels that something about himself is not good, find a partner. In addition, two people will be selected to check the cloth every day. After checking, they will sit on their own marks. If there is a problem, find two people to check. people."

"Of course, if the inspector finds something wrong, the piece of cloth will not be counted and will be punished. We will wait for everyone to come and register their own exclusive marks."

There was an uproar as soon as these words came out. From then on, they had to be even more cautious, because everything was linked to themselves, and they were even stricter than the third lady looking at them.
