Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years
Chapter 8: Three years of drought?
The Jiang family has three large brick houses with tiles, which are considered to be one of the few in Shili Village. After all, Old Jiang is also a scholar. When he was young, he made a living outside and accumulated a lot of wealth. After the war broke out, he returned to Shili Village and never left again.
The mute girl went directly back to the room she lived with Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei was not in the room. Instead, Qian Xiuzhu was sitting beside the bed with an oil lamp burning in a daze. When she saw her coming, she was stunned for a moment and then smiled.
"Your hair is still wet. Come on, Mom, let me dry it for you."
The mute girl pursed her lips and smiled, but did not refuse and stood with her back to Qian Xiuzhu.
Picking up the prepared cloth, Qian Xiuzhu slowly twisted the little girl's hair, twisting it, and she came closer and smelled it suspiciously.
What does this smell like? Why is it so fragrant?
She wanted to ask, but even if she asked the little girl, she might not be able to explain clearly, so she just thought it was where the mute girl picked the flowers and grass and dyed them.
On weekdays, few people play with the mute girl. The mute girl likes to pick flowers and plants, and she is always scolded by Mrs. Liu for doing so.
Putting this matter aside, Qian Xiuzhu began to worry. According to the situation in the dream, there will be a drought this winter, and there will be a severe drought for three years.
In the second year of the drought, turmoil began outside, and there were still people inside who wanted to rebel. The conscription was carried out in Shili Village, and all the young men in the village were recruited to become men.
Originally, twenty taels of silver per person could be exempted from the conscription. Unfortunately, the family suffered from natural disasters one after another, and the family could not raise so much money. However, Jiang Shujian was saved by the Liu family with the money secretly hidden by selling gold and inlaid jade. Before her death, she Neither of them could see their husband, Da Lang, and Er Lang for the last time.
With the three strong laborers in the family gone, she could only live a hard life with Sanlang and Sister Wei.
After that, she became sick with worry and could not afford to fall ill.
The house leaked and it rained all night long. At this moment, the mute girl's family came to find her. Only then did she realize that the gold inlaid jade was actually the mute girl's body. But the mute girl had been sold. Where could she give her another one as compensation? Daughter?
Mrs. Liu had another evil idea - to push her sister Wei out to be a daughter of that family.
When she woke up in a daze, Ms. Liu accepted the thank-you gift from the family, and Sister Wei was also taken away. She tried her best to die with Mr. Liu, but it was useless. Sanlang wanted to help her. Her hands were stained with Liu's blood.
Qian Xiuzhu didn't want to think of this. Every time she thought of it, her heart ached, and her hatred for Ms. Liu became even more intense. She wanted to kill her with her own hands.
But right now, I have to explain it to my little girl first.
"Mute sister, my mother really doesn't know about your breast beating. If I had known earlier, I would never have let Madam Liu touch you."
Qian Xiuzhu didn't know that she believed this. Mrs. Liu was very cautious. Every time they were alone, she abused the original owner. As far as the memory of the original owner was concerned, she was not sure whether Qian Xiuzhu would do it for the original owner and Mrs. Liu. match.
In ancient times, filial piety was paramount. In her impression, Mr. Jiang and his wife were such people. How could they fight against the Liu family for the original owner?
"This is our fault as parents. From now on, our family will be in good order and we will definitely be able to live a good life!" Qian Xiuzhu touched the mute girl's withered grass-like hair, took out an egg from her arms and stuffed it into In the hands of the mute girl.
The mute girl did not shirk. She held the egg in both hands, turned to look at Qian Xiuzhu, and pretended to smile in surprise.
This smile almost made Qian Xiuzhu dazzle.
In her memory, the mute girl was very cute when she was a child. When she grew up, she liked to lower her head all the time. When she asked, the mute girl just shook her head.
Nowadays, although he looks a little sallow and thin, his facial features on his palm-sized face seem to have been painted on, especially his eyes, which are big and juicy.
She understood why in the dream, Mrs. Liu counter-offered the mute girl's worth from five taels to seven taels, but the leading young man still agreed.
Her heart skipped a beat, Qian Xiuzhu reached out and pulled down the thick bangs of the mute girl. She was worried and said: "Mute girl, you know, keep your head down when you meet outsiders? There are a lot of bad people out there!"
The mute girl just looked at the egg in her hand and nodded repeatedly. Halfway through, she looked up at Qian Xiuzhu in confusion, handed the egg to Qian Xiuzhu again, and opened her mouth to signal her to eat.
Qian Xiuzhu's nose felt sore and she almost shed tears again.
This silly girl is more sensible than her own daughter!
In the end, Qian Xiuzhu didn't eat the egg. She just told the mute girl to eat it quickly so that Sister Wei wouldn't see her and left.
The mute girl watched Qian leave with bright eyes, and the smile gradually fell from the corner of her mouth.
In my memory, the Jiang family has never cared about her as much as they do now.
This Qian Xiuzhu gave her a feeling that her personality had collapsed. Could it be...?
Shaking her head, the mute girl decided to put this matter aside for now.
She lowered her head to chew the egg, and when her eyes swept over the clothes, she suddenly knew the reason.
It should be that the original owner's injuries were exposed to the Jiang family. The good things now are all making up for it.
She sighed inwardly and couldn't eat the eggs anymore. She put the eggs on the bed, took out the short needle and alcohol swabs prepared by Futuan from the space, disinfected her middle finger and pricked it with the short needle. The needle tip immediately sucked the emerging blood droplets into Peng Da's needle body.
After closing the needle cap, the mute girl did not immediately put the blood sample into the space, but asked the group: "You won't do anything bad with the blood sample, right?" 】
There is a saying from the ancients that 'the hair and skin of the body are influenced by the parents'. It can be seen that they must not have a high tolerance for blood collection, so she is not optimistic about collecting blood samples.
Futuan, who was originally excited that he was about to get the first sample, screamed with anger and appeared directly in front of the mute girl from the system space, and at the same time put on his new skin and new wings.
The mute girl's eyes lit up, [Haha! 】
Erha with black wings looks very cold.
But she didn't mind at all and happily wanted to reach out to Fu Tuan.
Fu Tuan ducked away and bared his teeth: "This Tuanzi is a wolf!" 】
The mute girl looked at its wise eyes and hooked her fingers: "Come closer and let me take a look." 】
Fudan proudly raised his chin and flew to the host's eyes, but was grabbed by a hand.
【Wolf? Do you think I have never seen a wolf? Xiaotuanzi, you changed into the wrong skin, but you are still very handsome. 】
Futuan, who was about to explode after being praised like this, immediately raised his tail and said angrily: [I want you to say it! 】
Although it was only a small ball, it was still very comfortable to touch. The mute girl rubbed her hands and said: [If collecting blood samples will not affect the collector, I will try my best, but you have to know that people in this era are very concerned about their bodies. I love you but you won’t agree easily. Is it understandable? 】
This blessing group had known about it for a long time, and it immediately nodded, [Understood, understood! 】
The mute girl nodded with satisfaction. After taking the sample back into space, she immediately heard a notification that twelve thousand points had been credited.
Inadvertently scanning the eggs on the bed, she asked: [Can things in this world also be stored in space? 】
Futuan's eyes lit up, he broke free from the host's hand, and said in a bewitching voice: [The host can spend points to open a 100 square meter storage space, not 1800, not 998, only 888, you can't buy it, you can't be deceived. ! 】
As soon as it finished speaking, it saw the egg in the host's hand disappear.
Feeling that the egg had appeared in the system space, the mute girl glanced at it, and her big eyes clearly said two words: profiteer!
Fu Tuan disappeared into the air in shame and anger.
Taking the egg out of the space again, the mute girl happily peeled the eggshell open. "Save the time for the flowers and save the money" is her life creed.
