Chapter 114： Help me with work (please recommend monthly tickets)

Chu Chu lowered her head and whispered: "I can't go back."

 Dani was curious: "Why? Did they force you?"

Chu Chu shook her head and said, "If I go back, my brother will not be able to enter the school."

In fact, it was not just because of this. The old woman also said that if she stayed at home and could not get married, her two younger brothers would not be able to get a wife in the future, so she must stay.

“Dani! Come in!”

Uncle Jiang shouted in the yard: "Close the door!"

 Dani shrunk her neck, quickly stepped into her yard and closed the door.

The girl was shut out, her head lowered.

After a while, Chu Chu raised her head and glanced at the closed door of the Jiang family, sighed, and began to look around.

This place is very empty, with only three households.

But these three families look very wealthy. The big houses are all made of blue bricks and tiles. Even the courtyard walls are built very high, making it difficult for people to see what’s going on inside.

Chu Chu turned around and walked slowly outside, touching her new clothes and skirt from time to time.

At this age, it was the first time for her to wear a beautiful new dress made of such good materials, and she was actually very happy.

She would be happier if she were not disliked by others.

Seeing that the hem of her clothes was about to be dragged to the ground, Chu Chu quickly hugged her some more.

Picked up his package in the corner, carried it to a haystack, sat down, put his hands on his knees and started to be in a daze.

She must not go back, not only for her brother to go to school, but also for herself.

Grandpa, the patriarch, told her that even if she couldn't become the Jiang family's wife, she couldn't bring shame on the Chu family.

He also said that the Jiang family were very kind and asked her to stay here for a while. As long as the Jiang family saw how good she was, they might accept her.

Chu Chu sighed.

What the patriarch said was somewhat contradictory, leaving her at a loss as to what to do.

The only thing we can do together is to let her stay with the Jiang family and find opportunities to repair the relationship between the two families.

When I looked up, I suddenly saw a four or five-year-old baby standing not far away, looking at her curiously.

This female doll is so beautiful. She is wearing a small pink shirt and skirt, with two small hairpins on her head and a silver collar around her neck.

Her eyebrows are picturesque and her skin is pink and rosy. She is more beautiful than the dolls in the New Year pictures.

This was the first time Chu Chu saw such a beautiful child, and she was stunned for a moment.

"Why don't you go home?" Yingbao asked when she saw the young lady hiding behind the haystack with a stupid look.

Chu Chu shook her head: "I don't want to go back."

Yingbao took a step forward and asked, "What's your name?"

Brother Dacheng never broke off the engagement in her last life, and the head of the Chu family didn't bring a new person over, so she was a little curious as to who this strange girl was.

“My name is Chu Chu, what is my little sister’s name? Are you also a child of the Jiang family?”

Ying Bao nodded, kicked the mud under his feet, and continued to ask: "If you don't go home, where will you sleep at night?"

Ch Chu Chu thought for a while and pointed to the haystack behind her, "Can I sleep here?"

Children in the village have played the game of hiding in the haystack. As long as she digs a hole in the haystack, she can squeeze in the hole to rest at night.

Yingbao shook her head, "No, you can't sleep here, there are wolves at night."

This is the southern slope, and there are no homes around. Wild animals often appear at night, and wolves are one of the most common wild animals.

She often heard wolves howling at night.

Ch Chu Chu was startled when he heard this, and was a little helpless, with confusion between his brows.

Ying Bao saw the girl's honest expression, rolled her eyes and asked, "Are you really not planning to go home?"

She has been very busy recently, and she really wants to find a helper. She doesn't know if the girl in front of her is qualified for the job.

Chu Chu nodded: "I can't go home." At least not now.

“Then you want to marry my brother Dacheng?” Yingbao asked.

"I...I don't know either." Chu Chu felt a little embarrassed talking about this with a little baby. Yingbao said bluntly: "My brother Dacheng may not like you, so I advise you to give up."

Chu Chu lowered her head, her pretty face flushed.

Before she agreed to come, she expected that she would be discriminated against and disliked, but it was still a bit embarrassing to be pointed out directly by a little kid.

But it is true. The Jiang family didn't like her and didn't even bother to let her stay.

But even so, she can't go home now.

Because the patriarch grandpa said that if it was not possible, she would have to stay with the Jiang family for at least ten days before going back. Otherwise, the family would not provide any expenses for her brother's schooling in the future.

"I, I never thought about letting... make your brother like you. I just... just can't go back."

Chu Chu said, tears falling down.

Ying Bao felt a little pity when he saw her crying.

Step forward, pat her and comfort her, saying, "Don't cry. I'm just telling the truth. I didn't mean to make fun of you."

Chu Chu nodded and wiped her tears with the back of her hand, "Yes, I know."

The two were silent for a while, and Ying Bao asked, "Aren't your parents worried if you stay here?"

Chu Chu shook her head: "I don't have a mother, dad, he..." She should be worried.

But when he got on the sedan chair, his father showed no expression at all. On the contrary, his little brother Chu Qing cried so hard that his face was covered with snot and bubbles.

The eldest brother had the same expression as his father as always, showing neither sadness nor joy.

Ying Bao understands that she is a poor child without a mother.

"Well, if you don't mind, you can help me work. I'll find a place for you to stay temporarily and I'll pay you. But you can't use this as an excuse to stay in my house, let alone have any plans against my brother Dacheng. , are you willing?"

Chu Chu blinked and nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll help you with the work."

Ying Bao nodded with satisfaction, "Then come with me."

Chu Chu stood up, picked up the package and followed the little baby.

Yingbao took her to a hut next to her vegetable patch.

The hut built by my family is to be used for guarding the vegetable plot in the future.

Since the vegetable field was often visited by wild animals, my father asked someone to build this hut to make it easier to guard the vegetable field.

“You can live here from now on.” Yingbao pointed to the hut.

The hut is not big, so it is okay for one person to live in it. Moreover, the house is equipped with thick doors and windows. As long as they are bolted from the inside, it is very safe.

Chu Chu was obviously very happy and immediately nodded and thanked Ying Bao, "Thank you, sister."

Yingbao pushed open the wooden door and took her in to take a look.

It is one foot square inside, with a small bamboo bed and a table.

Because no one lives there, the bamboo bed and table are covered with dust.

"I'll bring you a quilt later. Lock the door at night and no one can open it, you know?" Ying Bao taught like a little adult.

“Yeah, I know.” Chu Chu was so happy that she walked around the room, touching here and there.

Yingbao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the girl was not dissatisfied. He turned around and went home to talk to his mother-in-law about retaining someone.

Chun Niang didn’t say anything, she dug out an old quilt and gave it to Chu Chu.

Then he gave her two unused clay pots and a small half can of rice, asking her to boil water and cook her own rice.

Chu Chu thanked Chun Niang: "Thank you, aunt. From now on, if aunt has any work to do, just call me and I will do anything."

Chunniang sighed: "I don't have anything to do for you here, so just listen to Bao'er and do whatever she asks you to do."

I don’t know what my daughter’s plans are. Is it really a good idea to keep a girl from the Chu family?

Don't rely on the Jiang family to affect the marriage after Dacheng.

But my daughter said that she would ask the Chu girl to abandon this idea, work down-to-earth, and ensure that she would not have other thoughts.
