Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"It's quite interesting. It seems like it was indeed what my son said. He insisted on sticking it up."

"Madam, where is the young master?"

Mrs. Jiang leaned on the soft couch and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Let's see, if he really likes that girl, it's not impossible to take her in and make her a concubine for my son."

"But madam, the young master seems to want to marry that girl, not like he wants to take a concubine."

Mrs. Jiang opened her eyelids and looked at the maid who was speaking.

The eldest maid quickly lowered her head and said, "This slave made a mistake. Naturally, the young lady of the Jiang family cannot be a peasant girl."

Cheng Wan was naturally completely unaware of the conversation between the master and servant. At this time, she was driving the carriage while listening to Xu Zhinian's words.

"Awan, my uncle gave your family a gift. I was worried that you wouldn't accept it yesterday, so I didn't tell you openly.

Also, my uncle asked me to tell you that he has sent people to investigate the matter of the Yingqiu County Magistrate, and will report the results to King Rui as soon as possible for him to make a decision.

Ah Wan, have you found someone to settle the matter? When will the hotel be ready to open? "

"The ninth day of the lunar month next month is an excellent day. If nothing else, it should be the day we open. I still need to make some preparations before then."

Cheng Wan and Xu Zhinian kept talking. A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Wan took Xu Zhinian into the random building.

The Suiyi Building at this time was very different from the previous Guxing Building, and Cheng Wan's previous ideas had basically been realized.

"My boss."

There are still a few men in the random building doing the final details.

Cheng Wan smiled kindly at the person who worked hard for her, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone, please work harder and finish the last bit of work. I will give each of you another bag when the time comes." Little red seal.”

Hearing this, these men burst into laughter. Even if there were only two or three pennies in the red envelope, it was in vain. Two pennies could buy an egg.

Of course Cheng Wan would not be so picky. This group of people worked very hard, and she could see it. Although they did not give each person an extra half a penny or a penny, but ten or twenty pence per person was enough. You have to have it no matter what.

After coming out of Suiyi Building, Cheng Wan didn't stop in Shuoyang City anymore. He drove Xu Zhinian in a carriage and headed straight out of the city to Pingnan Village.

But Cheng Wan didn't expect that just when she and Xu Zhinian were approaching Pingnan Village, they met two unexpected people.

Cheng Wan stopped the carriage and looked at the girl and middle-aged man not far away with some surprise.

She didn't know the middle-aged man, but she had an impression of this girl.

It was the girl whose left little finger was chopped off by the kidnapper.

"girl!"

The girl with the broken finger was very excited when she saw Cheng Wan, and she hurriedly ran towards the carriage.

Cheng Wan jumped out of the front room of the carriage, and Xu Zhinian opened the curtain, "A Wan?"

"It's okay, just sit in the carriage."

"girl!"

The girl with the broken finger was face to face with Cheng Wan. She wiped her tears with her sleeve and watched Cheng Wan cry and laugh.

Cheng Wan sighed silently as he looked at the girl's worn and thin clothes, the baggage on her back, and her face that was chapped by the cold.

This girl hasn't been here for so long. Cheng Wan thought she would never come again, but she didn't expect to meet her here today.

Cheng Wan glanced at the uneasy man not far away and said warmly: "This is very close to our village. Come back with me first and then we'll talk about it later."

In the dining room of Cheng Wan's house, the girl with the broken finger and the middle-aged man were sitting at the table, each holding a hand-warming cup. In the cup was the slightly hot tea that Yanqiu had just poured for them.

The girl with the broken finger took a sip of hot tea and sighed comfortably. She looked at the reserved man next to her and said, "Dad, take a sip quickly to warm yourself up."

father?

Cheng Wan and Xu Zhinian looked at each other, a little confused.

Mrs. Lin and the others were also confused.

"Girl, do you still need someone to work for you?"

The girl with the broken finger raised her head and glanced at Cheng Wan, her eyes full of anxiety.

Her father suddenly became nervous.

"What I said before counts. If you want to work for me, of course you can. From now on, you will be just like Guihua and Yanqiu. It's just..."

Cheng Wan looked at the middle-aged man with a happy face and was a little confused, thinking, "Both father and daughter are going to work for me?"

"Girl, oooooh."

The girl with the broken finger suddenly burst into tears. She wiped away her tears and said, "When I got home, my family said that I was not clean anymore. It would be better to die... outside. Everyone in the village went to my house." Look at the excitement, there are... quarrels at home every day. My father and my grandma want to drive me... out of the house, and ask me to hang myself with a rope or hang myself outside, wu wu wu..."

Cheng Wan's face darkened, and Mrs. Lin and the others also looked ugly.

"I...I didn't want to die. I told my parents that I would find a way to survive for myself. My dad...just took me and secretly ran away from home...at night."

"Her mother and I were worried that she was lying to us. How would she live outside the house? Secondly, we were also worried that it was true how could she walk such a long way by herself? So, I, I took her all the way to find her. Come here. Girl!"

The man suddenly knelt down, tears and nose streaming down his face.

"Her mother and I are incapable of protecting her, and she can't survive at home!

The girl is kind-hearted, give her a way to live, she has been diligent and capable since she was a child, and she is designated to work well for the girl. The girl only needs to give her a bite of food, and let her live anyway. "

The man said and kowtowed, and Cheng Daniu quickly pulled him up from the ground.

Cheng Wan felt her heart congested. She exhaled a breath and looked at the girl with the broken finger, "What's your name?"

"Jinxiang! My name is Jinxiang!"

Cheng Wan nodded, "Stay and work for me, I'll pay you."

Jin Xiang cried with joy and kept nodding her head. Her father also smiled with tears in his eyes, with a long-lost relief in his eyes.

"Here, this is your household registration. Put it away and don't lose it."

Jinxiang took her household registration from her father's cracked hands and shouted with tears in her eyes: "Dad..."

Jinxiang's father wiped away his tears, took out a small cloth bag from the baggage he was carrying, and then carefully took out a few copper coins from the small cloth bag, "You can take these few copper coins. Dad has no ability, so he can only I’ve given you so many copper coins. Work hard for the girl from now on, and don’t worry about me and your mother. Dad will come see you again when he has the opportunity. Your mother and I will feel relieved knowing that you are here with the girl.”

Jinxiang's father has seen with his own eyes the current state of Guihua and Yanqiu. Their brows are full of relaxation and joy, and they don't look like they have been tortured at all. He is naturally relieved to leave his daughter here.

Jin Xiang's father didn't stay long, only drank two cups of hot tea and left.

He said he had been out for too long and was worried about his family.

Cheng Wan's family understood him very well, and wrapped three steamed buns for him in oil paper, and watched him leave along the village road amidst Jin Xiang's cries...
