my husband is the leader

In the early morning of the next day, under the orders of the housekeeper, Jenna went to the department store in the city to buy what the wife needed.

There are perfumes, hats, gloves, porcelain and other items in the list. She got more than 100 yuan. In fact, she was very puzzled why such an important job was entrusted to her alone, although the maid Mary who was supposed to go shopping with her After Ya fell down the stairs, she was fired because of a broken bone and could not move, but Jenna always felt that it was not an accident.

Of course she didn't dare to embezzle. If she was sent to the police station to leave a record, her only job would be over.No one will hire a thief, she can only live on the streets, becoming a beggar like the hero in Sister Carrie.

...However, the matter she is involved in now is far more serious than theft. The maid and the master colluded to murder the mistress, no matter how you look at it, it is a matter of death penalty!

Moreover, the original owner was also sucked by the family, and she hadn't saved a penny since she started working. Although she can understand that women in this era basically have this kind of thinking, she is also an unexpectedly complicated person.

She didn't mention anything about Diego in the diary at all, and she was very cautious, so that if the diary was seen by others, it would not expose her conspiracy with Diego.However, she was stupid enough to believe Diego's saying that he would marry her, and she didn't know whether to say she had brains or no brains.

In short, this mess is hers now, and she really has to think about how to break the situation... And before leaving, Diego secretly stuffed ten yuan into her "intimately" and winked at her , Completely cut off the idea that she didn't buy the poison because she didn't have enough money.

... oh shit.

Jenna cursed him in her heart, and she had to bite the bullet and get in the carriage, preparing to continue thinking about what she should do on the road.

When the carriage finally arrived in the city, it happened to be the time for the mall to open.She quickly bought the things specified by her employer, put the change and receipts in the coin purse, and prepared to stay until night.

The oriental who sells poison is called Wen Can, who is said to be an immigrant from the Qing Dynasty, and has a brother named Wen Qing who is doing business in England.But Wen Can is more cautious than his brother. He never tells others where his store is. If you want to buy something from him, you have to go to a local bar called "Gree Horse" to find the owner, and then Wen Can will talk to you. Meet.

Although Jenna is also very poor now, she still wants to complain: Poison is only ten yuan in total, is it worth it?

But she still has to go to Wen Can, which means she has to find something for herself to stay until night.This is actually a very difficult job, because she has to deceive the coachman in the manor, and cannot let the coachman know the real reason, and Diego didn't tell her what to do at all.

But Jenna quickly thought of a good way.

After handing over the bought things to Mr. Mark, the driver, when he asked Jenna if there was anything missing, Jenna shook her head, and then deliberately showed an expression as if she was about to cry, begging the driver to go back later.

"Of course, miss, Madam didn't set a time for us to go back, but do you have anything else to do?" Mr. Mark asked suspiciously.

"Actually, I'm hiding from my family. Today is Sunday, and my brother will definitely come and ask me for money."

Jenna acted as pitifully as possible, even squeezed out a tear or two on purpose, covered her face and trembled and said, "I only have five dollars a week, and they will take all the money and not give me a cent Stay, I thought of Maria being fired after her fracture. What will she do in the future? If I get sick and lose this job, my family will definitely sell me... I must save some money for myself , I don’t want to give them any more.”

"Oh, you're right, miss!"

Mr. Mark was very angry when he heard the words, and he waved his fist and said, "Your family is too much! I have heard that they will come to ask you for your salary every week on payday, but I didn't expect them to take it all! No wonder a young and beautiful girl like you works so long and doesn't even have a new dress, and never goes out on the day off, so that's what it is! Don't worry, if they dare to harass you again, we will let the police Drive them away! No one can take away your earnings!"

"It's very kind of you, Mr. Mark."

Jenna pretended to be touched and said, "But I don't have the courage to face this matter yet... I think at least today, I can hide from my brother first, okay? He only has time to leave the factory to find me on Sundays .”

These words are also true, she is indeed not ready to face the original owner's family, if they make a big fuss, it will be very bad for her.She must buy as much time as possible... There are too many troublesome things, and she can only solve them one by one.

"No problem, I understand your concern."

Mr. Mark agreed, "Then wait until tomorrow morning before going back. It's not safe to travel at night. I just said that something is out of stock and won't arrive until the next day. I just want to take a look. I'm in Chicago. My niece, let's go back tomorrow."

"That's great."

Jenna breathed a sigh of relief. She said that she also planned to go to the free place. After saying goodbye to Mr. Mark, she secretly went to the racetrack.

Before dealing with your enemy, the most important thing is to know him first.

She has no clue about Diego now, and she is going to watch his game in a while and find out some things about him.

Now she is no longer the person who used to be able to drink three cups of milk tea every day, and she must spend every penny sparingly.Of course she had no money for a carriage, so Jenna decided to walk over.

On the way to the racetrack, a circus was performing in an open space. She glanced at it curiously as she passed by, but at this moment, an Indian fortune-teller who claimed to be "Patch" suddenly called out. she.

"Wait a minute, miss, I see something special in you... I can give you some hints and guidance."

"Ok?"

Jenna stopped in her tracks immediately. She looked at the Indian dressed as a priest who was playing with Tarot cards on the table, and pointed to herself suspiciously, "Call me?"

"That's right, it's you."

The Indian stared at her with a serious expression, "I can see that you have a very wonderful fate, which is very rare... Now you are trapped in a critical moment of life and death, with prisons and corpses on one side and unimaginable fate on the other." Success and flowers, and the balance you're standing on is tipping from side to side."

"really?"

Jenna's eyes widened in surprise. Although she always thought that fortune tellers were liars, he seemed to have hit on her situation. She was indeed hanging by a thread, although he didn't know where he saw that she could get it. With unimaginable success, she didn't even have high expectations for herself.

Maybe this is a kind of rhetoric, just like those modern fortune tellers who say "Brother, your seal is black, and there may be bloody disasters in the near future"...

"That's right, come and draw a Tarot card, it can guide your fate." The fortune teller stared at her and said, "It's free."

free?Who doesn't know that free things are the most expensive... those street photographers also say that they are free.

Jenna murmured to herself, she always felt that the next step would be for the fortune-teller to trick her into buying amulets or other things to collect money, and to be honest, Indians don't really match Tarot cards.

"OK then."

So Jenna sat down opposite the fortune teller. She drew a card symbolically, but when she wanted to see the face of the card, the fortune teller drew it away.

The Indian fortune-teller put away the cards, and then suddenly took Jenna's hand to look at the palmistry.

"Oh... I see it! A wonderful lifeline! It seems to be over, but it continues again... Your life will be full of glory, but also very dangerous, it depends on your next choice..."

Jenna:?

…So smoking tarot is just a smoke bomb, and the real divination method is just palm reading?

Jenna glanced at her palm, and sure enough, she found that the connection of the lifeline was broken.But this proves nothing, she feels that what the Indian Pacha fortune-teller said is the best thing, and this routine can be applied to everyone.

"Then do you have any suggestions?" Jenna asked without expecting.

"Next will be your critical moment."

The Pachi fortune-teller's expression suddenly became extremely serious, "I see danger, as well as opportunity. You will marry a blond man you met today, and that will become your hope of breakthrough."

"..."

Jenna couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, restraining the swear words she almost blurted out.

A blond man, the only pure blond man she saw during her trip from the manor to Chicago today was her owner, Diego Brando.

Don't mess with me!

"For the smoothness of your marriage, I especially recommend the amulet of our Pachi tribe, which can help you get together with your significant other as soon as possible. Today, it is only on sale for five yuan..."

"No, no."

Jenna declined the fortune-teller with a blank expression. What was she thinking?She knew it would be like this!

All divination and reading will eventually become sales!

"Think again, if you buy this amulet, you will definitely be able to walk on the right path of destiny!"

The fortuneteller tried to keep Jenna, but Jenna ran away.She's crazy to spend five yuan on a fortune teller's trick, and upon closer inspection, it looks like a mummy's eyeball... Could this thing be an amulet? !

The best thing for a woman in this era is to marry well, so scammers take advantage of people's psychology.But as a person of yellow race who will be discriminated against, she is very self-aware... go and lie to white people!

What she has to think about now is not the issue of getting married, but how to find a way to make money, and then escape from this damn place!

So when Jenna came to the racetrack, she went around and bet all her money on Diego without hesitation.

The horse betting is mainly to guess the champion and the ranking. She has no idea about the ranking, so she only ticked the champion.Diego's odds are not high, only 1.35, and one of his opponents today is a strong and favored champion horse racer Mandon Timm, whose odds are as high as 1.95.

But Jenna still decided to go all out and take Sotiago Brando.

Trust your instincts.

...It is said that he has never lost in a game!This bitch man wants to use her to murder the old woman, let's see how she uses him to make a fortune first!

But just when Jenna filled out the betting form without hesitation and was about to watch the next game, she suddenly heard a thick man's voice behind her, reminding her.

"I don't think it's a good idea to go all in on DIO. Today is not the best course for his Arabian horses. Today's course is more about speed than endurance. Of course, if you are his admirer, just pretend I didn't say it .”

Jenna turned her head immediately, and she unexpectedly saw a man dressed in cowboy leaning against the wall, looking at her seriously but not lacking in friendliness, nodded to her, "His odds are not high, if it is for If you want to make money, I suggest you bet on other players. In fact, there are many speed players today. No. 5 and No. 7 are good choices.”

"..."

He seemed to be very friendly to help analyze the players, and said a lot of technical terms that people couldn't understand.However, Jenna didn't really listen to what he was saying - she was completely attracted by the way he looked.

—is a blonde.
