shock!After dressing up as a vicious stepmother, I spoiled the villain

Speaking of which, she had complained earlier when her family sold her for money and grain.

The Zhao family that was sold was quite satisfactory, and he was transferred to the wife's small courtyard to work, but what if her destination was the kind of deep pool that eats people without spitting out their bones.

Such as Xuanpinghoufu.

Then she might have died.

That's all, after so many years, it's meaningless to think about this. Bi Tao took a deep breath and entered the small penthouse.

The Zhou couple had just finished eating when they looked up and saw Bitao coming in.

The daughter who had been away for many years now stood in front of the two of them with elegant clothes and pink cheeks. Father Zhou, even though he was a rough man, couldn't help but burst into tears.

The three of them didn't hug each other and cry when they met, which was unlucky in the house. Bi Tao blinked her eyes and held back her tears, but her voice was still trembling: "Dad, Mom."

-

After expressing her emotions, Bi Tao led the two of them to the side room where Yu Wei was: "Madam is inside."

Naturally, she wanted to go in with her, but she also had to explain the rules to her parents: "Madam is a rare kind-hearted person. After your parents go in, please don't do anything inappropriate. Whatever Madam asks, you just need to answer truthfully."

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother nodded repeatedly.

Yu Wei sat on the Taishi chair and looked at these two honest farmers. From these two people, we could see a true portrayal of the working people at the bottom.

Her hair is tied back, and most of her white hair is mixed with black hair. Her skin is rough and brown, and she is dressed in coarse linen clothes that have been washed white, with traces of splicing on the corners. She has a pair of black cloth shoes under her feet, with the fabric at the toe of the shoe picking up. Hairy, but still looking clean and tidy.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother wanted to kneel down, but Yu Wei hurriedly stopped him.

Just kidding, she was just used to this era. Bitao and the others would just kneel down occasionally, but Yu Wei was afraid of losing her life if she asked two old people to kneel down for her.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Wei chatted with the two of them again. In addition to asking about the population and family atmosphere of the Zhou family, he also asked about the situation of the entire Zhou family.

After all, Bitao has not been at home for many years and does not understand many things.

After asking around, Yu Wei had a rough understanding of the Zhou family. They were an honest but highly motivated family.

Of the three sons of the Zhou family, two are already married and work with the whole family in the village. They are a hard-working family. In addition to their own rations and taxes, they also have surplus grain to sell in the town.

The younger son was sent to the old carpenter in the town to work as an apprentice and earn a trade. After completing the apprenticeship, he would be considered a promising youngster in the village.

Later, Yu Wei learned that since the famine years, the Zhou family had worked hard and bought two acres of paddy fields in five years. Life gradually became better. Until now, they have successively purchased five acres of paddy fields and eight acres of paddy fields in these years. dry land.

Among them, eight acres of dry land have now been turned into fertile land by the Zhou family.

Not to mention that during this period, his two sons were married to wives who later gave birth to two grandchildren and two granddaughters.

Much better than the average family.

Marrying a daughter-in-law, whether it is at this time or in modern times, can seriously damage a family's vitality, but the old Zhou family is happy to bear it.

Yu Wei didn't shy away and asked Bi Tao directly: "Your parents are also capable. Did you ever complain when they sold you to the Zhao Mansion?"

Bitao glanced at her parents, thinking about the madam's words, but she did not speak.

After hearing this, Mother Zhou shed tears and said, "Back then, my family was poor, and there was really nothing we could do about it. The children couldn't eat. Seeing that life was becoming more and more difficult day by day, I thought about whether one of them could survive. One, it turned out that we were sorry for Niu'er. We and I went to the city and made a special inquiry to find out that the Zhao family was a good man and treated their servants very kindly, so we sold Niu'er to the Zhao family. , and met such a kind person like Madam."

It is not difficult to hear from this fairy-like wife's mouth that the other party values ​​and favors Bi Tao.

Zhou's parents were extremely grateful to this fairy-like lady, not to mention ironing them too much.

Yu Wei glanced at Bitao and saw tears glistening in Bitao's eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

This is the tragedy of being a woman in this era. There is obviously a very obvious difference in treatment from her brothers at home, but this treatment is negligible to them.

Obviously, it is not impossible for you to sell your son to work as a servant in a wealthy family in exchange for money and food to support the remaining members of the family. But in this way, your son will become a slave, and the next three generations of your son will also be a slave. To put it bluntly, you just can't bear it.

But this is the general trend, and Yu Wei won't say anything. They are a harmonious family of three, but she wants to ruin this atmosphere by eating too much.

This was the first time Bitao knew that her parents had gone out of their way to inquire about the Zhao family. The Zhao family did not treat their servants harshly. It turned out that her parents were also considerate.

Her resentment towards her parents was gradually dissipating.

Yu Wei smiled and said to Bitao: "It seems that your parents are also thinking about you. In so many years, have you ever fulfilled your filial piety for your two elders?"

How to fulfill your filial piety when Bitao is not with your parents? To put it bluntly, it means giving money.

Bi Tao also calmed down and answered one by one: "This servant has been in the house since she was a child. Although she serves the lady every day, she also sends money to the house every month."

That's the one who gave the money.

Yu Wei looked at the Zhou family, his eyes seemed to be seeking confirmation.

Apart from the first few years, Bitao stayed with the original owner for a long time and was promoted to a first-class maid. The Zhao family was not a family that harshly criticized a maid's monthly salary. Later, when she went to the Xuanping Hou Mansion, Bitao's monthly salary was issued by the original owner. No matter how unsatisfactory his life was, he would never lose Bitao's few taels of silver.

Otherwise, ancient labor was worthless.

Father Zhou received Yu Wei's look and quickly replied: "That's right, Niuer sends money home every month. We have saved a lot for her over the years, and we are not afraid of Madam's jokes. We originally thought , when the girl reaches the age, I will redeem her body and take her back home."

Yu Wei didn't expect this, and Bitao didn't expect it either.

She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Does the family keep all the money I sent back?"

Mother Zhou smiled shyly at her: "We all have hands and feet, your brothers are getting older, and there is no shortage of food and drink for the good land. Our family had no choice at the beginning, but now it is better, you Of course I will keep my money for you, and if you want to go home in the future, you will have someone by your side."

Bi Tao couldn't help it at this moment, tears fell from her eyes, she was half coquettish and half playful: "Who wants you to redeem yourself!"

"If you sell me out, I won't do this anymore. Madam treats me well. From now on, I will be madam's person in life and her ghost in death!"
