Daming female local tyrant

"Gensheng, you made a mistake. It's not what you thought." Before Jing Lan could explain, her grandmother Gao Shi had already spoken, "Alan came back today to bid farewell to us, and she will follow the eldest aunt of the Shen family. We went to Xiao's house in Jinling City together, and we don't know when we'll be back..."

After hearing this, Lin Gensheng lost his anger and worry.

When he looked at Jing Lan again, he was much gentler, and said, "It seems that I was wrong, Alan, are you going to the city tomorrow?"

When Geng Hu saw that Lin Gensheng was angry at Jing Lan when he came back, he was a little worried about Jing Lan, but after hearing his mother's explanation, Geng Hu calmed down and slipped out quietly.

Because since Jing Lan was made a slave by the aunt of the Shen family, whenever Lin Gensheng came back, whenever he saw Geng Hu, he would scold him as an evil spirit. His own daughter became the servant girl of the Shen family.

If it weren't for the fact that the Geng family sent twenty catties of rice as compensation for Geng Hu's trouble, Lin Gensheng would have beaten Geng Hu.

Therefore, Geng Hu was a little afraid of Lin Gensheng, and he dared to come to Lin's house just now because Lin Gensheng went to the field and was not at home, so he dared to follow Ah Shan to Lin's house to meet Jing Lan.

Jing Lan looked at this cheap father in front of her, and looked down on him from the bottom of her heart, thinking that he was cowardly and incompetent.Otherwise, she would not have become Shen Wan's maid.Of course, before she became a maid, she thought of everything very badly. She had no freedom, no self-esteem, was bullied and beaten, and even became a plaything of her master.However, when she really became a servant girl and served Shen Wan for these two days, she found that none of the things she thought about happened.Instead, she had food, clothing, and a good night's sleep.The dark circles under her eyes today are also because of that girl Cuizhu, she can't blame her master Shen Wan at all, she has arranged a good room for her to sleep in.

If Shen Wan's maid will be like this in the future, then Jing Lan will no longer blame her cheap father for being cruel, for being cowardly and incompetent, and selling herself to Shen Wan as a maid.

Today, when she was walking slowly on the road home from Shen’s other courtyard, Jing Lan remembered what Shen Wan said. She said that Jing Lan could open her eyes and learn a lot by following her, which was better than being a child in the countryside. Good people are better.

Jing Lan is 13 years old this year. If she stays in Qingxi Village all the time, when she is fifteen or sixteen years old, she will probably be like other village girls of the same age and marry an ordinary young farmer from a surrounding village.In another year or two, they will have children, and from then on they will live a busy life at both ends of the house like ordinary village women.After several decades, she will also become like her current mother, Xie Shi, with frost on her temples early on, and she will become an old village woman with vicissitudes on her face.

And Jing Lan didn't want to become such a person.

After thinking about this clearly, she was not so reluctant to leave Qingxi Village for Jinling City.

She said to cheap father very simply: "Leave early tomorrow morning, my aunt asked me to go back at dinner."

Lin Gensheng looked outside and said, "Your master didn't ask anyone to watch over you, so I thought you ran back by yourself. Since your master asked you to come back to see us, you should stay at home and rest. By the way, what about your mother, I didn't see her when I came back just now?"

A Guo, who moved a small bench and sat next to Jing Lan, hurriedly said to Lin Gensheng, "Father, Auntie went to the town to buy meat and fish. She said she wanted to cook a delicious meal for Sister A."

"Buy meat and fish?" Lin Gensheng frowned, and was upset again. He looked at his mother and asked, "Where did she get the money? The family doesn't have any money to buy rice, and she still wants to buy meat and fish? Isn’t it borrowed money from the next door?”

Mrs. Gao told him that Jing Lan went home with her wages.

Lin Gensheng was surprised again. He said that the wages were paid after only two days?

Gao: "The aunt of the Shen family that Alan served was a good person. She paid Alan's wages for half a year at once, a total of ten taels of silver."

"Ten taels! Where's the money?" Lin Gensheng's eyes widened and he yelled in disbelief.

"Alan gave five taels to my mother and five taels to my daughter-in-law."

"Show me quickly!"

Gao stood up and opened the box next to the bed, and took out the ingot of five taels of silver from under the box. .

He murmured, "I haven't seen such a big ingot of silver for many years..."

When he looked away from the silver ingot in his hand, he smiled when he looked at Jing Lan again. He said that Jing Lan seemed to be a blessing in disguise this time.Accidentally fell into a nest of blessings. It seems that signing the deed of sale with the Shen family was the most correct decision. Now the Lin family has hope.Ten taels of silver for half a year, and 20 taels of silver for a year. Even if the Lin family stopped farming, the money was enough for the whole family.

Jing Lan listened to him, and the more she listened, the angrier she became.

It seems that he, a cheap father, thinks that all the wages that Jing Lan earns as a maid in the Shen family should be handed over to the family, and he even said that the Lin family does not need to farm.She just wanted to ask him, all the money she had worked so hard to earn was handed over to the family, and the family spent it all. What would she do when she came out of the Shen family when she was old?

No savings, no more money, will her cheap father think she is a burden, sell her again, sell her to someone as a stepmother, sell someone to be a concubine, and then get some money from her?

Jing Lan almost blurted out to him, do you treat me as a human being, am I still your biological daughter?From the moment he first entered the door until now, his face has become like turning the pages of a book.

It's a pity that she is not the original owner, and she will not be stupid enough to think that to be filial to her family, she has to hand over all the hard-earned money she has earned, and she has to squeeze out all the dregs of her bones to support her family for this so-called family relationship.

Filial piety to the original owner's parents, good to the original owner's siblings, she will do it, but she will never do what her cheap father thinks.

Taking care of herself first, and then her family, she is so selfish.

She decided that it would be enough to take five taels of wages from home every year, and she would save the remaining 15 taels for herself to make money in business in the future.

Jing Lan intuitively felt that if she entered Jinling City, she would have many more opportunities than in Qingxi Village. She could make money. To make money, you must first have capital.If you want to ask her why she wants to make money, of course she wants to become a good citizen and become a property owner and live the affluent life she hopes, instead of going back to Qingxi Village to be a peasant woman, or to be a stepmother or concubine for others.

Lin Gensheng saw that Jing Lan kept silent after he finished speaking, and still pursed his lips tightly, looking unhappy.

I wanted to get angry and scold her, but I thought that Jing Lan is now a cash cow for the Lin family, so it's better not to scold her and make her unhappy, and it would be bad if you don't take money from home in the future.

He returned the five taels of silver that his mother had taken out, and asked his mother to lock it up so that she would not take it out again. The money had to be saved, and he would ask Ah Shan for a wife in the future.

Gao nodded, took five taels of silver, opened the box, hid it at the bottom of the box, and finally locked the box.

Around noon, Mrs. Xie came back from Jiuting Town, carrying three or four catties of meat, a piece of fish, and some snacks and vegetables.

After arriving home, Lin Gensheng ran over and asked her to give him the four taels of silver left over from buying vegetables, and then asked Xie not to cook all the meat, but to keep half of it, salt it, and eat it later.

Mrs. Xie asked him why he didn't cook and eat all the meat. Jing Lan was going to Jinling tomorrow, and he hadn't seen her for a long time.

Lin Gensheng said: "Alan has no shortage of meat in Shen's house, but we are short of meat. If we can save one, it is one. Don't talk too much, just do as I say."

Xie had no choice but to cut half of the leaner meat and marinate it with salt, and she used the remaining fatter half for cooking.

At noon, Jing Lan only ate one bowl of rice and put down the bowls and chopsticks. It was very strange that she ate at least three bowls in Shen's other courtyard, but she was full after eating at home for one night.Seeing her younger brother Ashan and younger sister Aguo devouring the food, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

Mrs. Xie asked Jing Lan to eat more and was going to serve her a meal. Jing Lan held down the bowl and chopsticks and told her that she was really full.

Lin Gensheng ate his food and made a vague voice. He told Mrs. Xie not to persuade her, saying that Jinglan had no shortage of food in Shen's house, and since the sun was setting, she had to go back to the other courtyard of Shen's house. It would be okay to eat less at home. Save some for the family.

After hearing this, Jing Lan felt rebellious, and said that she saw that Ah Shan and Ah Guo were delicious, and she wanted to eat some more.After speaking, he stood up, went to the kitchen to scoop up the rice again, came to sit down, picked up chopsticks and picked up large pieces of fish and meat to eat.

Lin Gensheng wanted to say a few words about Jing Lan when he saw it, but he didn't say it in the end, he just speeded up the speed of serving dishes.

A meal that was even more sumptuous than last year's Chinese New Year was finally swept away by the Lin family like a storm.

After dinner, Jing Lan wanted to wash the dishes, but Xie refused to let her, so she asked Jing Lan to go back to the house to take a nap, because she saw that Jing Lan had dark circles under her eyes, and it seemed that she didn't sleep well last night.

Jing Lan agreed, and went back to the room where she slept with her younger sister, and climbed onto the crude bed to take a nap.

She only agreed to her mother to take a nap. First, she was affected by the green bamboo last night and did not sleep well. Second, she missed the wooden bed that she slept with her younger sister A Guo in the Lin family. She always felt that it would be difficult to stay here Sleeping on the bed.

With her head against the pillow, she quickly fell asleep comfortably.

In order not to affect Jinglan's nap, Xie did not allow Ashan and Aguo to enter the house to disturb Jinglan, and let them play in the yard.

Mrs. Gao also moved a bamboo chair and sat under the sycamore tree in the yard outside to peel broad beans. Lin Gensheng went to wander around the mulberry fields. He just discussed with Mrs. Xie, and he will use the money to buy some silkworm seeds tomorrow. Raise this year's spring silkworms.He said that in the future, Jing Lan would save all the money she took home, and build a house for Ah Shan to marry a wife in a few years.

Lin Gensheng had the final say in the Lin family, and his so-called discussion was nothing more than informing the Xie family.

Over the years, Mrs. Xie has also gotten used to letting her husband make up her mind about housework. Today, she just made up her own mind. She used the money to go to the town to buy meat and fish. Just like that, Lin Gensheng asked her to cut off half of the meat and marinate it for later. .

After Xie finished her work in the kitchen, she moved a bamboo chair and came over to peel broad beans with her mother-in-law, while talking about some trivial things about her parents.The two talked most about Jing Lan. They both thought that Jing Lan's master, Aunt Shen, was a good person and treated Jing Lan very well, so they felt at ease.Gao also said that she hopes that she can live until the life contract expires eight years after Jinglan, become a good citizen, and go home with a reliable person to start a family, otherwise she will not feel at ease when she dies.
