The head of the family knows that Chai Migui is expensive. Although this family is not considered to be Mingrou's head of the family, but now there are only two people, and the food and clothing costs are clear at a glance. No matter how Mingrou has never been in contact with these trivial things, she also knows that the family's firewood, rice, oil and salt are not out of thin air. It was born, the seeds planted in the spring, I want to raise two chicks, and I want to buy another piece of clothing. These things all need money, but when she and Ye Qiuniang came out of the Ming Mansion, they didn't bring any valuable money at all. s things.

After eating, Ming Rou held the Ming family heirloom jade pendant and fell into deep thought.

Ye Qiuniang came over and sat with her on the stone pier in the yard. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, leaving little spots on the ground.

"This, give it back to you."

Mingrou heard the soft voice ringing in her ears, turned her head, met Ye Qiuniang's full eyes, and looked down, only to see that she was holding a piece of crumpled rice paper in her hand.

Of course Mingrou knew what it was, she had touched this piece of rice paper countless times, every time she grasped it in her palm, it was like grasping Ye Qiuniang's whole life, with this deed of sale, she had to obey Own.

Turning his head, he didn't take the rice paper, didn't look at her again, and said sullenly: "I gave it to you, why did you return it?"

"This was originally your thing, after all, it must be returned to its original owner, and I have never thought of redeeming it in my life."

Hearing her words, Mingrou felt a little unhappy: "You are you in the first place, and you don't need to be subordinate to anyone. Since you have the opportunity to get rid of this shackle, why do you want to take someone else's surname, be someone else's slave, and be a cow for the rest of your life? Ma, isn't it good to be yourself?"

Ye Qiuniang took a deep look at her and said, "If it's you, I don't mind at all."

Ming Rou felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her hot eyes, and felt that she was going to be burned by every word in her words, a small blush rose on her face at some point, and she said awkwardly: "I'm not that Such a pedantic person, not to mention whether this piece of broken paper can bind you, if I really want to keep you, I will definitely think of other ways."

Ye Qiuniang smiled: "I know, it's really not because of this deed of sale that I'm staying now, and Missy doesn't need to think of any other way, because Missy already has a good solution."

"What better way do I have?"

Ming Rou raised her head and looked at her suspiciously.

Ye Qiuniang smiled and said nothing, put the rice paper into her hands and got up to leave. Although the old man valued her at the beginning, he was afraid that Mingrou would not be able to control her, so he secretly gave the deed of sale to Mingrou, not to mention that Ye Qiuniang didn't care about her at all. Don't care about this, even if this deed of prostitution really falls into the hands of others, with her current ability, she will not panic at all.

But since it is in Mingrou's hands, Ye Qiuniang has no idea at all.

What I didn't expect was that the little girl took the rice paper that was stuffed into her hand, rubbed it lightly, and tore it again. The thin rice paper instantly turned into shredded pieces of paper. It was soon taken away by the autumn wind.

Ye Qiuniang, who had just stood up, was stunned when she saw her move.

Then he lowered his head again, pursed his lips slightly and smiled.

This scene happened to be seen by Ming Rou who just raised her head again, and she stared at her dumbfounded for a moment. She just felt that the Jiujiu in front of her was getting better every day. One cannot take one's eyes away.

Ming Rou didn't know if it was because he just tore up the deed of sale to please her, or something else, but felt that Jiujiu's current happiness must be related to her, and couldn't help but feel excited, stood up and to catch her.

Now Ye Qiuniang is a mature woman, so naturally she doesn't play around like a child like her, she turns around and fixes Mingrou with a slight look.

"Starting tomorrow, I'm going to work in Zhuangzi. You should stay at home by yourself."

Mingrou blinked her eyes and looked at her when she heard the words: "Isn't it rented land, why do you still have to go to work?"

"The autumn harvest is just now, and we will start planting rice next year. If we don't find work during this period, there will be nothing to eat at home."

Mingrou's eyes dimmed instantly.

Then he raised his face and said to Ye Qiuniang: "Jiujiu, I will go with you too, I will do whatever you do, I can work too."

After speaking, he slapped his chest loudly.

Hearing what she said, Ye Qiuniang looked at her with a half-smile: "What can you do, threshing millet or plowing the ground?"

Ming Rou was at a loss for words for a moment, but she was still unconvinced and said: "Even if I don't know how to do it now, I can always learn it if I follow you."

Ye Qiuniang looked at her thin body and thin shoulders, thought for a while, and finally swallowed back what she wanted to say, not wanting to hurt her young heart.

"I'll do it for a few days first, and see if Guanshi Tong needs manpower before taking you there. You can rest at home for a few days. A Tao is free in the morning. If you feel bored, let him take you around. , get acquainted."

Mingrou saw that Ye Qiuniang was really going to do something, and didn't dare to make trouble anymore, but when she thought of her refusing to take her away, she felt a little unhappy.

Ye Qiuniang's eyebrows were as gentle as water, she looked down at the unhappy Ming Rou, stroked her hair lightly and said, "Just a few days, and in a few days, when the new owner comes back, I will take you to find her. Sometimes there might be a suitable job for you."

Hearing her soothing words, Ming Rou let go of her pursed mouth.

After Ye Qiuniang comforted her, she stood in the yard, looked towards the courtyard in the distance, and fell into deep thought.

In today's Leshan County, there is no doubt that Du and Zhang are confronting each other. Since ancient times, food is the most important thing for the people. Whoever controls the food is the winner. Now both of them are big food households. At that time, the family was basically the only one, but now the Ming family under the control of Du Xian has been divided into a large part, and its strength is not as good as before, but the Zhang family, which is closely behind, has now taken the opportunity to catch up.

And Du Xian had close contact with Mr. Zhang in private before, and now the two are splitting forces in the county, and the relationship has become delicate again.

Ye Qiuniang is happy to see the results. These two people used to have a close relationship in private, but now the situation has changed, and it is inevitable that dogs will eat dogs. The situation in Leshan County will not change much in a while, and it just happens to be more for Tongzhuang. More time and opportunity to develop slowly.

It's just that there are a lot of things going on in Zhuangzi now. It has been nearly half a year since she returned to Ming's house after the death of the grandfather. It seems that there is no big problem in Zhuangzi's management, but there are still a few small properties that have been allocated in advance and need someone to take care of them. Therefore, now he has to leave Mingrou behind and deal with some temporary matters first.

It's not that Ye Qiuniang doesn't want to directly pull Mingrou to the top, but their status is still unstable now, and Mingrou's goal is too big, no one can guarantee that Du Xian will not do something out of jealousy.

What's more, some eyeliners were placed in the corners of Tongzhuang, Ye Qiuniang didn't want to startle the snake prematurely.

In this way, Mingrou—let's keep her in the dark for the time being.

Ye Qiuniang's own identity is not so eye-catching, and it is much more convenient to do what she does. Earlier, after the Tongzhuang formalities were completed, her identity has been kept secret. When the servants saw Tong Guanshi, they seemed to be respectful to her, and they all regarded her as a newcomer. The boss valued her and entrusted her with some things to do.

Little did they know that this little girl in front of them was their new owner.

But Ye Qiuniang knew that she was only temporarily acting as Mingrou's, guarding the last family property in Tongzhuang, and teaching these things back to her when Mingrou was able to take charge of herself one day.

Mingrou didn't know Ye Qiuniang's good intentions, but she knew that Jiujiu went out to work now for the sake of this family and to support herself, so although she was depressed, she didn't dare to make trouble, but the feeling of dislike for herself came back to her heart, A little aggrieved.

The two of them had a day's free time after breakfast. The clothes they changed yesterday hadn't been washed yet. When they got up in the morning, they soaked in the wooden basin and went out. Right now, when they were free, Ye Qiuniang moved a small bench and sat next to the well to wash clothes. .

Mingrou is a rich lady, how could she know how to arrange these things, now that she sees Ye Qiuniang washing clothes, she feels like she woke up in the morning and didn't see such a pot of dirty laundry there, and she had to come back from the mountain to do the laundry again .

She hadn't washed it before, but when she was in Ming's house, she met some servants who washed clothes before, and rushed forward to grab Ye Qiuniang's basin.

"Jiujiu, I'll wash."

Ye Qiuniang is now living with Mingrou, the original intention is to let her understand the hardships of life, but when it comes to real things, she is still tied up and dare not let her go, and can't bear her hard work.

"It's just two pieces of clothes, I'll just wash them."

After Mingrou was rejected, she didn't insist any more, and silently moved a small bench to sit aside to watch her wash clothes.

Jiujiu won't let her do it today, and tomorrow she will go to work, and if she can't wash it herself, it will be over!

It's nothing to do laundry, but now Ming Rou has grown into a big girl, when she saw Ye Qiuniang washed her dirty clothes, she suddenly felt shy for no reason.

When I was in the Ming family, these clothes were washed by the nanny, even if I ran into these small clothes, I didn’t feel embarrassed, but now I see my thin piece of cloth rubbing back and forth between Jiujiu’s slender fingers , Why do you feel so ashamed?

Ming Rou felt a surge of heat on her face, she stood up abruptly and stopped looking at Ye Qiuniang.

He just didn't notice the faint smile on the corner of the woman's mouth who was bending over to do the laundry after she turned around and stood up.

Mingrou found an excuse to get out of the yard, and wandered around the house for a while, until the heat on her face faded a little, then she noticed that there were a few hens and chicks in the nearby field looking for worms to eat, let her What's interesting is that these chicken cubs are all painted in different colors, even if they are mixed together, they can be clearly distinguished.

Ming Rou suddenly became interested, thinking that if she also raises chickens, she must paint them with a cinnabar red color like lip balm, which looks different from the neighbor's, easy to distinguish and beautiful.

Mingrou is a little girl, so she is naturally very interested in such things as rouge and rouge. When she was playing with Xu Qionghua before, she often went to the street to buy all kinds of rouge and rouge to play at home. Watch the big girls put flowers on the mirror, put rouge on their eyebrows, and make themselves beautiful.

It's a pity that I don't bring anything with me now, and I don't have any yellow or white things on my body. Let alone buying rouge, even eating is a problem.

Seeing the colorful chickens running around under their noses, chirping and chirping, I felt a pang of regret.

But a thought came to him suddenly, since he has nothing to do anyway, why not make these lip balms by himself.
