[Red Chamber] Xiuyan is a little Shennong
Chapter 20 Selling as a Slave
The county town said it was not big, but it was not small. A girl just ran away, and it was not easy to find.
Xiao Xu has already gone back and doesn't care about this daughter at all.
The cousin made such a fuss, but it made people feel that Xing Xiuyan was intolerant.Xiao Xu's calculation was based on this point, and she wanted Xing Xiuyan's family to keep her daughter.Then her family can save her daughter's food expenses, and let her earn money to send back.
Xiao Xu's abacus was cracking, but Xing Xiuyan couldn't make Xiao Xu's wish.
Xiao Xu's daughter ran away, so Xu Qingyi and the others had no choice but to find someone first.
Mrs. Xu's cousin was more clever, so she asked people from the same town to tell Mrs. Xu.
As soon as Mrs. Xu learned of Xiao Xu's actions, she was extremely displeased along the way, and when she arrived at Baihua Bakery, she knew that Mother Xing was not very happy.
Mrs. Xu laughed angrily.
"What's the matter, she doesn't take her daughter seriously. You want to treat her daughter like your own daughter and don't want your own daughter?" Mrs. Xu used to be the wife of a county magistrate and also did a small business. Xing Xiuyan is not easy.
Don't look at my daughter as if she does some things, but anyone can do those things.
"If you make an opening now, she will be able to push all the other daughters to your side someday. If you want to make a deal with her, she might steal your own daughter's marriage one day." Mrs. Xu did not look down on herself. It is the youngest daughter of Xu, but it is really possible for Xiao Xu to do such shameless things, "How much can you help her?"
"No way?" Mother Xing didn't quite believe it.
"If you don't believe me, just go out and rent a house, and don't live here." Mrs. Xu said, "Go and open a small shop yourself, try it with your niece, and see if you can make money." To the money!"
Mrs. Xu has always known that her eldest daughter is sometimes confused, but is it too stupid to make her daughter suffer for the sake of her sister's daughter?Or do you want others to see her and think her good?
Go dream!
Others said she was good on the surface, but secretly laughed at her for being stupid.
This family, that is, Xing Xiuyan can do a lot of things, support it all, and let Xu Qing and his wife come to work.Sometimes, if necessary, let the Xu family come, and the uncle of the Xu family is now also planting strawberries.
What's the matter, do you want Xing Xiuyan to pull up all relatives and give money for nothing?
There is no such reason in the world!
"Let her go." Mrs. Xu almost poked her eldest daughter's head with her hand, "Don't let the life get better, you start doing it. If someone's daughter is gone, let someone look for it, and it's not you. She ran away. Tell Qingyi and the others to go back to work and stop looking."
Mrs. Xu has such an attitude, let alone she doesn't care about that granddaughter.If the granddaughter ran like that, don't blame others.
"What if..." Mother Xing was worried that if something bad happened to her niece, would she and Xiao Xu continue to be sisters?
"What if?" Mrs. Xu sneered, "Your sister's family has so many daughters, patriarchal stuff. She is also a woman herself, so who is to blame for being so contemptuous of girls?"
Mrs. Xu admitted that she didn't care much about her daughter before. After all, there are so many children, and some of them still have to go to school.Her husband died of illness not long after the birth of her youngest daughter. Where did she find so much energy to take care of so many people.
And Xiao Xu's daughter, Jin Hua, was running to the door of a rich man, saying that she was going to sell herself as a maid.
The housekeepers of rich and noble families are not surprising at all. Although people in the south of the Yangtze River are relatively rich, there is no shortage of poor people.It is not uncommon for someone to sell herself as a maid.
It just so happened that Jin Hua was pretty good-looking. She was around ten years old, and she was able to do a lot of work.
Seeing that Jin Hua was thinner, the butler felt sympathetic, and simply took her in to see the master.
As a result, Xing Xiuyan and the others naturally failed to find Jinhua.
Mrs. Xu stayed at Xing's house for the time being, for a few days.
Xiao Xu's heart ached when she learned that her daughter was gone, and she blamed Xing Xiuyan's family more.
"Hey, you give back my daughter." Xiao Xu thought about it. After a few days, if her daughter can't be found, then the Xing family will have to pay for it. Your daughter is sold, you black-hearted people."
Before Xiao Xu could make a fuss in front of the Baihua pastry shop, Mrs. Xu ran out with a broom.
"You left your daughter in the county, who is to blame?" Mrs. Xu scolded, "You sold your daughter yourself, and now you want to come here and ask for double money? Go, you want compensation, and report to the official!"
Mrs. Xu didn't really want to report to the police, but she just wanted to scare her little daughter.
"Family, what are you talking about reporting to the government?" Xiao Xu ran aside, "Mother, you can't be too partial. They are making a lot of money now, and they look down on us poor relatives, and you still help them."
"Why don't you say that you didn't help them before?" Mrs. Xu is Xiao Xu's elder, so she didn't intend to save Xiao Xu's face by saying these words, "You used to let your daughter live in her mother's house, It’s been a few months, where’s your face?”
"..." Little Xu didn't feel ashamed at all.
The others listened to this and looked at Mrs. Xu pointing.Xiao Xu originally wanted the Xing family to be pointed at and threatened, so that she could continue to look for the Xing family in the future, but she never expected that Mrs. Xu would be here.
Mrs. Xu glared at Xiao Xu, "As long as you want to save face, don't let your sister raise your daughter for you, and don't abandon your daughter. Your daughter has hands and feet. She ran away. It's none of other people's business. Throw it away." I've found the work I'm doing, what else do I want?"
Don't look at Mrs. Xu telling Xu Qingyi and his wife not to look for them, she told other members of the Xu family to look for them, and kept asking people.They also asked people to go to the flower building to ask if there was someone who looked like Jin Hua. If they were photographed, they would buy it back, lest the people in the flower building refused to tell.
However, they did not find the golden flower.
It is impossible for all people to continue looking for the golden flower, looking for a needle in a haystack, but if they cannot find it, what can be done about it.
What a disgusting thief.
Run to someone else's house and just toss like this.
Mrs. Xu couldn't see it, it would be better not to have such a granddaughter.
At this time, Jinhua came.
It turned out that after Jinhua went to be a maid, she was sent by the master to serve the girl at home. The girl wanted to eat cakes from Baihua Bakery, so she asked her to come out and buy them.
At this moment, Jin Hua was already wearing the clothes of a servant in the mansion.
"Mother." Jin Hua walked in front of Mrs. Xu. She felt that her mother valued her younger brother too much, but she still came to Mrs. Xu, "I found a job to do."
She wants her family to know that even without Xing Xiuyan's family, she can do it.
Before, Jin Hua heard that a girl from a family in the town married a young master in the county, and Jin Hua was very envious.But her family is not that rich, all she can do is to work as a maid in a wealthy family, she is really afraid that one day her mother will send her out and sell her at will.
Even though it was impossible for her mother to sell her to a brothel, she was still worried that she might as well find a future by herself.Serve as a maid for a rich family, maybe you can be a young mistress in the future.
Jin Hua didn't meet many people in the small town, and heard limited news.She felt that it would not be a bad idea to be a maid for a wealthy family, and she would have opportunities in the future if she could get in touch with those young masters more.
This is the mistake of unequal information exchange and not having a deep understanding of oneself.
Serving as a maid for a wealthy family, how can a son of a rich family marry a maid as his wife, at most he will let the maid be the housekeeper and the maid will be the concubine.That's still a lowly concubine, the kind that can be sold at any time.
"Damn girl, where did you go?" Xiao Xu pinched her hard after seeing Jin Hua, "You also made me misunderstand your aunt."
Xiao Xu immediately found the steps for herself, and seeing that the clothes on Jin Hua were different, she frowned, "Where did you come from?"
"Girl asked me to buy pastries." Jin Hua said.
"What girl?" Little Xu didn't understand.
"What else can it be, go and be a maid for someone." Mrs. Xu understood at a glance. She hadn't seen such a situation before.
"It's hard at home, my cousin refuses to take her in, so I can only be a maid." Jin Hua was not very happy, why Xing Xiuyan had such a good life, and she had such a miserable life, it was too difficult.
"No one is forcing you to be a maid." Mrs. Xu said, "You have a family of your own, and you don't lack your stutter. Who is to blame?"
Old Madam Xu was also angry, that Jin Hua actually sold herself as a slave.
This trick is really ruthless, it is to make everyone feel that the Xing family is ungrateful and ungrateful, and does not take care of relatives.
"How many younger sisters do you have? Come one at a time. I'll be happy if someone drowns your cousin with spit." Mrs. Xu didn't give Jinhua any face.
Fortunately, the neighbors all know Xing Xiuyan's temperament, and also know that Xing Xiuyan has people from Xu's family and Xing's village.
Who doesn't have a few weird relatives, Xiao Xu's family is weird, and her daughter is also weird.
"Grandma, I'm here to buy pastries for the girl." Jin Hua emphasized, "It's not that I won't give her money."
Jin Hua wanted to take it for nothing, so she could keep the money the girl gave her.But Mrs. Xu is here, so it's not easy for her to take it for nothing at the moment. At most, they can give them two yuan more, and if they can dig out a penny or two, that's fine.
It can be said that the golden flower is the true biography of Xiao Xu. Although she seemed delicate and weak before, she actually has an idea.
"Give it to her, you get both money and goods." Mrs. Xu said, "Don't give her too much, lest you raise a white-eyed wolf."
"..." Jin Hua told herself not to be angry, she had to take the pastries back.
Xiao Xu grabbed Jin Hua's arm, "How much silver did you sell?"
As soon as these words came out, the people around looked at Xiao Xu's eyes even more speechless, shouldn't Xiao Xu mean to ask her daughter to return the money and not sell herself into slavery?
Xu Shi noticed the disdainful gazes of the people around her, and Xiao Xu hurriedly said, "Who made you sell yourself into slavery, you must be angry with your cousin."
Xiao Xu has already gone back and doesn't care about this daughter at all.
The cousin made such a fuss, but it made people feel that Xing Xiuyan was intolerant.Xiao Xu's calculation was based on this point, and she wanted Xing Xiuyan's family to keep her daughter.Then her family can save her daughter's food expenses, and let her earn money to send back.
