Sturdy Countryside: Lord, Please Blow The Lamp

...

Brother, don't you know that the village chief is really not a thing, and that Xia Ziqi, why didn't I realize that she is such a sinister person before. In Xia Dafu's room, Xia Daya endured He couldn't stop walking in, and told Xia Dafu what happened at Xia Guchun's house today.

Fortunately, Xia Beibei finally came. Otherwise, Ziyin would not know what would have happened in the future. This family is really vicious, ten thousand times more vicious than her mother.

Didn't you think she got along well with you before? Xia Dafu just smiled.

As for Muzi's family, he had already seen through his heart that Xia Guchun would do these things, and he was the kind of person in his heart. Muzi, even if Xia Beibei didn't intervene, he would at most He also objected a few times, but in the end he would still agree with Xia Guchun, because in Muzi's heart, there was nothing that could compare to his own future.

Brother, don't embarrass me anymore, my scalp is numb. Xia Daya muttered and rubbed her cotton-padded jacket.

In the past, she was ignorant, but now, there is still time, and she slowly learns to take a long view and look for the good.

Brother, Xia Ziqing is already preparing to go to Licheng, why are you still copying these things, it will be too late.

It's too late, anyway, Dad still wants to take the lanterns away, and I can make a lot of money after I copy them and sell them in the study in the town. Xia Dafu said gently.

In fact, he copied books not for the sake of earning a lot of money, but because he didn't want to go to Beijing with Xia Ziqing. If the two of them walked together, he knew that he would spend more money than Xia Ziqing.

He thought, save as much as you can, it’s better to go alone, and he also made an appointment with a few scholars who don’t have much money like him, but if you stay overnight in a ruined temple, you don’t need to stay in a hotel, and you can save a lot Silver comes.

Xia Ziqing got fifty taels of silver, plus what the previous village chief saved, it must be quite a lot, but you only have... how can you compare to him, big brother?

Brother went to Beijing, not to compete with others for money. Xia Dafu smiled faintly.

...

Ziyin is here, sit down quickly, sit down. Seeing Xia Ziyin brought back by her granddaughter was also expected, Sang Jinghong came to a stool for Xia Ziyin to sit down.

Grandma Sang... Xia Ziyin's eyes turned red when he saw Sang Jinghong's soft eyes looking at him.

Poor child, you'll be fine once you get to Grandma Sang's house, ah. Sang Jinghong sighed, and secretly scolded Xia Guchun tens of thousands of times.

Such a good child, even thinking of selling it, is simply worse than a beast.

Ziyin, you should stay at my house first, and I will build you a house in Xiajia Village in the future. With your embroidery skills, you will definitely be able to make a living. Xia Beibei returned the deed of sale in her arms and said .

Jiu Niang, I... you can leave this contract of sale for now, and then you can give it to me after I make money and pay off the fifty taels of silver. Xia Ziyin looked at the contract of sale, although he really wanted to I grabbed it and tore it up, but I still held back.

Hearing this, Xia Xiaoju, who was standing next to Sang Jinghong, had a twinkle in her eyes, Wu Shiqiu and Wu Shiqing's eyes were also cold, and Sang Jinghong was stunned for a moment.

That's fine. Xia Beibei didn't say anything, but put Xia Ziyin's contract of sale back into her arms.

You can stay in grandma's room first, and I will prepare the bedding for you. As for the others, if you need any help from me, just ask.

Yes. Xia Ziyin responded.

She has also fallen to this point, and there is nothing to say. If there is not Xia Beibei, she will be taken away by Master Sun.

Shiqiu, Shiqing, put all your things in my room. There are too many people in the house, so we can only squeeze them together. Move the bed in grandma's room to my room too. Go. Xia Beibei continued to order.

Jiu Niang, isn't that bed... Isn't that bed for her?

Before Wu Shiqiu and the others responded, Xia Ziyin looked up at Xia Beibei in surprise.

If the bed at the end of Grandma Sang's room was carried away, where would she sleep? Are you laying the floor? However, these two girls belonged to the son of the world, how could Xia Beibei let them freeze, she could only wrong herself.

She smiled bitterly.

Ziyin, you should sleep on the same bed as Grandma Sang these days. It's too cold to sleep on the floor. Although the two Miss Wu are strong, they can't withstand the moisture. Sang Jinghong interrupted suddenly.

Jiu Niang, it seems that this house has to be built as soon as possible. In the past few months, it can only be done like this.

Yes, grandma. Xia Beibei replied.

Jiu Niang, I... Xia Ziyin wanted to say that she could sleep with Xia Beibei, but before she could say anything, Wu Shiqing's voice sounded.

Ninth girl, don't you still need to prepare things for going to town tomorrow? Just hurry up, we are here.

Yeah, my stuff isn't ready yet. Xia Beibei slapped her head.

Being disturbed by Xia Guchun, she forgot about her own business, she turned to Xia Xiaoju, Xiaoju, are you ready for the things your family is going to sell tomorrow?

It's already ready. I will go with my mother and grandma tomorrow. I have borrowed the ox cart. I will give you twenty copper coins for a whole day. Xia Xiaoju happily stretched out two fingers, pointing at the Xia Beibei said.

Well, I'll look for you at your house tomorrow, and you should go home quickly, otherwise, your mother can't find you, so you should be anxious. Xia Beibei said.

Well, sister Jiuniang, then I'll go back first. Xia Xiaoju nodded and left quickly.

She has been out for a long time, if she doesn't go back, mother and grandma should really rush to find her outside.

After Xia Xiaoju went back, Xia Beibei first arranged the family's sleeping problem, and soon after, someone came to talk about farming.

Miss Nine, my subordinates don't understand, why are you bothering about that Xia Ziyin? Wu Shiqing, who followed Xia Beibei back into the room, looked at Xia Beibei and couldn't help but ask, frowning.

What's more, that Xia Ziyin is just like Village Chief Xia, he has no conscience, okay?

You can't just watch her being pushed into the fire pit. Xia Beibei glanced at Wu Shiqing lightly.

In fact, since Xia Ziyin came to her home to learn embroidery, she has already felt it. Xia Ziyin will come to her room to talk to her from time to time. On the surface, it is because they are good friends, but in fact, she knows, Xia Ziyin wanted to find out what she was doing alone in the room.

The reason why Xia Ziyin's contract of selling herself was shown just now was just to test her.

After all, it is impossible for her to stay only in Xiajia Village in the future, and it is impossible for her to have only one rice shop. There is no need for those who are not loyal to her by her side.

Obviously, Xia Ziyin will not be the one who is loyal to her, so it's better not to stay by her side.

Wu Shiqing shook his head, and Miss Nine was indeed too kind.

...

Xiaoju, what you said is true. The village chief really sold Ziyin to... Grandma Xin was stunned when she heard her granddaughter come back and tell them what happened to Xia Guchun's family.

How could such a vicious thing do such a thing? My own daughter can sell it without hesitation.

Fortunately, I went to find Sister Jiuniang, so Ziyin was not hurt. Xia Xiaoju nodded, and sipped the porridge on the table.

Then what is it like now? Ziyin was bought by Jiuniang? Aunt Ji asked immediately.

If Ziyin entered Jiuniang's house, life would be easier, said Grandma Xin.

In the future, by relying on Xia Beibei, she might be able to find a good marriage, let that bastard Xia Guchun regret it for the rest of her life.

Uh, that's right, but Ziyin... Hey, she wants to redeem the deed of selling herself anyway. Xia Xiaoju sighed. When she heard Xia Ziyin's words just now, she felt weird, especially for Xia Bei. Bei's attitude didn't seem to be thanking her, it was clearly a matter of course.

She really couldn't figure it out, wouldn't it be good to follow Sister Jiuniang?

Xiaoju, what are you talking about? Ziyin doesn't want to follow Jiuniang? Xia Dao gave Xia Xiaoju a strange look.

Behind Xia Beibei's back, but the son of the world, just being a maid is better than staying in Xiajia Village and continuing to suffer Xia Guchun's anger. She is still unwilling, is she crazy or stupid?

Ziyin probably doesn't want to lose her freedom. Xia Xiaoju guessed.

Then what is she going to do? Aunt Ji asked.

The body of freedom cannot be lost, but Xia Beibei bought her back, that can be regarded as a life-saving grace, shouldn't it be repaid?

Aunt Ji didn't know what to think about Xia Ziyin anymore. Anyway, this was a matter between Xia Beibei and her, and she couldn't get involved.

Didn't Ziyin learn crafts from Grandma Sang now? I think she must want to earn money from embroidery so that she can return Sister Jiuniang's fifty taels of silver first. Xia Xiaoju guessed.

Apart from the ability of embroidery, Xia Ziyin has no other skills, so she can only rely on this to support herself.

Hey, this child is also suffering. Grandma Xin sighed again.

Xia Xiaoju pursed her mouth, is Ziyin still suffering? It's lucky enough to have Xia Beibei's help. Now that they have come out of the village chief's hands, no matter what they do in the future, they will not be a miserable person.

She felt that Xia Beibei was wronged, so she offered fifty taels of silver to help Xia Ziyin. She didn't want to repay her kindness without saying anything, and...

If she read correctly just now, Xia Ziyin stared at Xia Beibei with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

When she was at the village chief's house, she supported Xia Ziyin, and no one knew Xia Ziyin's emotional changes better than her. Xia Ziyin... seemed to hate Xia Beibei too.
