After the system ran, I took off with my family
Chapter 274: Old Friend, Malice
This name...
Lin Shuyue raised her head and looked.
"Xiaoya! It's really you!"
Five meters away, a middle-aged man with dark skin and wearing loose satin clothes looked at her in shock.
"Who are you? Uncle Xiangzi?"
Lin Shuyue finally found this person from her memory, Lin Xiang, Taohua's father.
"Hey, it's me!"
Lin Xiang happily trotted forward, looked Lin Shuyue up and down, grinned and said: "The little girl has grown taller, become more beautiful, and has become a big girl!"
"Uncle Xiangzi, are your family all in the capital? Where are the others in the village?"
Looking at Lin Xiang's silly smile, Lin Shuyue's eyes flashed.
She had not forgotten how aggressive he and other villagers were when they surrounded her father and forced him to take them with them on the way to escape the famine, and the resentful looks on their faces when he refused to go with them.
Hearing Lin Shuyue's question, Lin Xiang immediately straightened his back, gathered his wide sleeves, and said with a little pride: "Our family all lives in the capital, but the rest of the village lives in a village near Pingshun Wharf outside the city."
After saying that, he glanced at her clothes implicitly and straightened his back even more.
Lin Shuyue pretended not to notice his gaze and continued to ask, "So where do you live, Uncle Xiangzi? Where are Aunt Cui'e and the others?"
"Oh, we bought a house in Beijing, in Wumi Lane in the west of the city. Your aunt is very free and is eating melon seeds and chatting with neighbors at home."
Lin Xiang flicked his sleeves and spoke calmly.
Lin Shuyue curled her lips. If her chin wasn't raised so high and her face didn't have a strange look caused by the suppressed pride, she would have believed it a little.
After Lin Xiang finished speaking, he asked again: "Ayue, where do you live? Where are your parents and two brothers?"
"Oh, my parents and brother are not in the capital." Lin Shuyue said vaguely.
"What? They sold you out? Just left you alone in the capital? Your father is really, how could he be so cruel?"
Lin Xiang shouted loudly, causing the people who were watching the excitement in front to turn around and look.
Without waiting for Lin Shuyue to explain, he angrily said, "I'm so angry! How can my niece, Lin Xiang, be a lowly maid?"
"Don't be afraid. I, your uncle, will definitely not ignore you. You know Mr. Liu, right? The Liu Mansion in the west of the city is very famous. The Liu Mansion is very wealthy and has several farms outside the city.
Your sister Taohua was lucky enough to be favored by Master Liu and is now Master Liu's concubine Tao. Master Liu loves her very much. Your brother Dazi also works in Master Liu's house.
Don't worry, as long as she talks to Master Liu, your master will definitely release him."
"By the way, which mansion were you sold to?"
Lin Xiang looked anxious, but he was very proud in his heart.
When he first saw Xiao Ya standing next to the carriage, he thought it was the Lin family's own carriage.
Now it seems that the little girl must have followed her master out. Her master must have left for something and asked her to guard the carriage.
Thinking of this, he felt as refreshed as if he had drunk a big bowl of ice water in summer.
Lin An, Lin An, you left him without any regard for our friendship. I thought you would be rich in the future, but I didn't expect that more than a year later, you would be so poor that you had to sell your daughter.
Unlike him, he is now Mr. Liu's father-in-law, and his daughter brings back money as a tribute every month.
Now, not only has he bought a house in the capital, his son also works in the Liu family. He goes to the teahouse to listen to storytelling or to the pub to have a drink every day. His life is very comfortable.
Lin Shuyue was speechless as she looked at the complacency that could not be concealed on Lin Xiang's face. How could he be so proud of his daughter being someone else's concubine?
This Mr. Liu, you can tell he is very old just by hearing him. It's pitiful that Taohua has to become someone's concubine before she even reaches the age of 15.
However, she was also a little angry in her heart. He seemed to wish that her family would fall into poverty and he made such malicious speculations about her father.
After thinking for a while, she rolled her eyes and deliberately wiped them with her sleeves, saying softly, "Uncle Xiangzi, is what you said true? Can you really help me redeem myself?"
After saying that, she grabbed his sleeve again and looked at him with bright eyes: "Uncle Xiangzi, thank you, you are such a good person!
No wonder I always heard villagers secretly praising you for your kindness, loyalty, and wealth, and that you will definitely live a rich and prosperous life in the future! Now I see that what those uncles and aunts said is true! "
"Uncle Xiangzi, thank you so much! When I am free, I will definitely repay you!"
When Lin Xiang first heard her say that she would redeem her, his expression was a little unnatural, but later he was flattered by her sincere praise, and immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this little thing."
She's just a little maid. As long as his good son-in-law takes action, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?
If all else failed, he would ask his daughter for money, a little maid, at most a dozen taels of silver, and redeem her and keep her at home as a maid.
I just don't know if I'll have the chance to meet Lin An again. If there is a chance, I really want to see his expression when he finds out that his daughter is working as a maid in his family. Wow... it must be exciting.
As soon as Lin Shuyue saw his expression, she guessed what he was up to.
She was now facing the street, and saw Qinghe and the other two were already coming over here with snacks, and were about to reach her.
"Miss, Miss, you are back!"
Lin Shuyue spoke before Qingzhi and gave them a subtle look.
When Lin Xiang heard her words, he immediately straightened his chest, put one hand behind his back, and then turned around.
Qingzhi, Qinghe and Qingsheng were a little confused at first, but when they saw the lady's eyes and the strange man next to the lady, Qinghe was the first to react.
She was seen holding Qingzhi's hand and walking towards him with steady and graceful steps.
When she got closer, she smiled and nodded slightly: "Yes, I bought some lotus cakes for my mother."
After saying that, she glanced at Lin Xiang again, frowning slightly: "Ayue, who is this?"
Lin Shuyue explained timidly, "Miss, this is my uncle from the same village, Uncle Xiangzi. We got separated when we were fleeing famine, and I didn't expect to meet him in the capital."
???
Are you a villager from the young lady’s previous village?
Those ungrateful bastards!!!
Qingzhi and Qinghe looked at each other, then she rolled her eyes and began to add to the drama.
The smile on her face disappeared, her lips pouted, and she said rudely: "Ayue, don't take advantage of my kindness to you and bring any cats and dogs to my side!"
Qingsheng touched his nose, silently stepped aside and played the role of the coachman.
Lin Shuyue never treated her people unfairly, so Qinghe and Qingzhi's clothes and hair accessories were no worse than those of the ladies from ordinary wealthy families.
Qinghe was born in a good family and had a dignified and elegant temperament. Coupled with Qingzhi's arrogant and domineering look, Lin Xiang shrank his neck and dared not raise his head. He no longer had the smug look he had just had.
He claimed to be Mr. Liu's father-in-law, but in fact he had never even entered the gate of Mr. Liu's mansion.
All in all, the highest-ranking person he had spoken to in his life was just the manager of the Liu Mansion.
