"Miss, you've already given us a lot, we can't take your money anymore. Susu will never forget Miss's life saving grace. No matter what happens in the future, as long as I am able to help, I ask Miss to speak up for me anytime. "
Susu bowed, and without taking the money from the table, she turned and left.
The hot water to wash her face and rinse her mouth was on the shelf, Yue Huaiyin grabbed the silver ingots in her hands and threw them into the basin precisely one by one. Water splashed out onto the carpet and she laughed coldly, "You know that I gave you a lot too. You know that I have saved your life? "
The next day, Susu and Auntie Chen really left the shop, and did not even dare to ask for this month's wages. The Rouge Shop clerk muttered to himself for a long time, until the pale Yue Huaiyin came out and asked: "Is there anyone else who wants to leave?"
In the Baisha Village, Xiaowan and Aunt Zhang had come to the tile house to help clean the grass. A few women in the village stuck their heads out to take a look, but after half a day, the grass in the few acres of land in front of the village was all cleaned up.
The villagers all knew that the mother and daughter pair who would live here from now on would work in the Ling Xiao Inn.
Only now did Susu hear from Xiaowan that this village was different from her family's Qingling Village. Although there were people like her father who worked from afar in Qingling Village, there were only a few. Most of the men still stayed at home to farm.
On the other side, most of the men were working outside, even the ones near by, working on the town's docks, or doing business. The only men that could be seen in the village during the day were the white-haired grandpa, and the boy in open pants.
When the Uncle Biao arrived in the afternoon, he changed them into new bolts and locks, wiped the paper on the window again, and brought the two of them to the restaurant for dinner at night.
The aunt was very polite, she said that she did not dare to come to the tavern like this every day to eat and drink, hoping that Susu would properly work for her shop. After she returns to ask the villagers what was suitable for her to grow, she would grow fresh vegetables early so that she could send them to the tavern.
Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan knew that they had their limits, so they naturally followed Auntie Chen's instructions. In the future, when there were no new year holidays, they would not always invite her to eat.
After the whole family happily ate their dinner, the sky had already turned dark and they had to walk seven or eight miles to the Baisha Village. The mother and daughter pair were about to head back when Uncle Biao pulled the carriage and said, "Now that Susu is here, she has washed all the kitchen food and told me to take a breather. You can come by yourself in the morning and uncle will send you back at night, it won't be troublesome."
When everyone bid farewell in front of the door, the Xiaowan shouted. "Susu, are you coming earlier tomorrow?
A joyful laughter came from afar. "I know, internal manager …"
Seeing the Xiaowan being so happy, Ling Chaofeng intentionally said: "Don't have Susu, all you know is to chat and gossip all day from now on.
However, Xiaowan saw that no one was around. She gently caressed her husband's waist and asked with watery eyes, "Do you need to be tidied up tonight?"
Ling Chaofeng carried her in one go. Aunt Zhang, who was in the kitchen, heard Xiaowan call for help, but her heart warmed up.
The next morning, when the sky brightened, Susu went out.
The sky wasn't clear today, and it was a bit gray. Rain was still falling in the wind, so Susu lowered her head and walked forward while holding the umbrella.
However, not long after she left the village, she heard footsteps behind her. She subconsciously looked back, and saw that although a tanned and strong man was not as tall and straight as the Manager Ling, he was still a man, and was much taller than Susu.
He was wearing a patched shirt and straw sandals. He was wearing thinner than this season. Was he not afraid of the cold? His arms were mostly exposed, and strong muscles could be seen on his arms. In his hands, there was a thick hemp rope.
Susu swallowed her saliva. Her heart was thumping hard, the footsteps from behind were getting closer and closer, more and more urgent, and as she saw that she had caught up to her back, she hugged her umbrella and closed her eyes.
However, the man walked past her without speaking or looking at her, and went straight ahead. He moved quickly, and very quickly, he left Susu behind by a large margin.
Susu heaved a sigh of relief and hurried back to the inn. When she reached the door, Ershan coincidentally opened it and said: "Sister Susu, it's been a long time since you came here.
Susu waved her hand: "Not far."
The people in the shop all got up, Xiaowan saw that Susu had really come so early, and laughed out loud, pulling her along and saying, the shop normally does not have much business, when there is free, everyone has nothing to do, and today it did not seem like there were any customers coming, so she was told to come late, wind or rain did not come.
Susu said: "How can I do that, I only got paid, even if the shop has no customers, there will always be dust that I can't not clean. "In the future, let me do all these. Don't be polite with me, or else I won't be able to keep you guys alive any longer."
With that said, Susu picked up his big broom and swiftly swept it in front of the door.
Ling Chaofeng walked over to Xiaowan's side and said: "You are the inner manager, and the current employee is Susu. There might be others in the future, and you are sisters as well. If not, she will feel uncomfortable, and you will feel uncomfortable too. Why do you need to make things unnecessary for her, it would be better for her to go somewhere else. "
Xiaowan nodded her head, "Hubby, I have remembered it. If I don't do well, you have to remind me often."
After they busied themselves in the morning, the dark clouds drifted by and it was clear as day.
When she heard that Xiaowan had moved her mother's grave to the back of the mountain, Susu wanted to pay respects. When she saw that there was nothing wrong with the shop before noon, the two of them took some incense and paper money and went up the mountain.
They were all children that had no mother, and grew up with their stepmother. However, Susu had received love and care from the Auntie Chen like his own mother, so she did not have any feelings for his deceased biological mother. On the other hand, the Xiaowan was different.
After saying these words, the Xiaowan could not help but have red circles under her eyes. Susu advised: "Now that you have such a good home, it is all thanks to you.
Standing on the back mountain, they could look down at the Ling Xiao Inn and see the pyre and well at the back door. That day, Xiaowan was busy at the well, so she and her mother hid beside the pyre. They wanted to wait for Xiaowan to go in and drink a few mouthfuls of water from the basin.
"It's been so long in the blink of an eye. It seems like it's still the same thing as yesterday." Susu said, sighing with emotion, "Xiaowan, are you the reincarnation of Guan Yin, the Bodhisattva?"
Xiaowan laughed, thinking of sher Jade Ring, he then said to herself: "If I really know magic, it would be great."
Speaking of her Jade Ring, the most contradictory thing she had done the past few days was to heal her leg for Miss Lian Yi. However, if it went well overnight, the people from the Meng family would be confused, even Lian Yi himself would be baffled.
Thus, she could only make a wish for Lian Yi to experience less pain and then see her every now and then.
After that, throughout the entire day, there were no more guests in the inn, so Susu was not surprised, because Xiaowan had already explained everything clearly to her, and Susu also knew that the Ling Xiao Inn was a hoodlum shop, so the local citizens definitely would not come.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. At the beginning of April, Ling Chaofeng had secretly informed the Xiaowan that the Emperor and Empress had successfully returned to the capital.
The Xiaowan was naturally happy, that day when they followed Susu to the town to buy vegetables, they pulled Susu to the city's god temple to pray for their blessings. laughed at her again. really didn't think this way, whether or not she wanted to be a baby. She hoped that the Empress and the Emperor would love each other forever.
When they were waiting for the Uncle Biao outside the temple to come and fetch them, there was someone by their side who was holding a baby doll and crying loudly. Everyone gave a gentle and blissful look and wished that the child would grow up healthy and safe. The Xiaowan looked at him and said softly, "Don't be greedy, just give birth to yourself."
Xiaowan blushed and shook his head.
She knew that her husband had said that she was still young and needed to wait, but she really liked little babies. He just wanted to give her a child as soon as possible.
When Uncle Biao came to pick them up, he saw that the yamen's people were beating gongs and drums on the streets. The original Zhixian, Lord Liang, was promoted to the Li Prefecture Department.
When he returned to the tavern, he told Ling Chaofeng that the new county magistrate had already known about it. He said that the new county magistrate was the nephew of the neighboring prefecture magistrate, and that this official had donated the money to him.
As Baisha County was not a political fortress or an economic agricultural land, the upper management would not care about it. To Ling Chaofeng, it was fine as long as he was a "obedient" person.
Naturally, he would not say these words to Susu.
Closing the door, the couple started to discuss. Xiaowan said: "There's still Lord Liang up there anyways, we will definitely give him some pointers. Let's not ask him to come and cause trouble for us."
Ling Chaofeng laughed: "If he is a fool, I do not wish for him to know our secret, I have already informed Master Liang about it, there is no need to speak about it too clearly, if it is really inappropriate, we can just drive him away sooner or later."
It was at this moment that Susu shouted from downstairs, "Innkeeper, a guest has arrived."
The two guests who had suddenly arrived came by boat from outside the city. According to their accent, they were from the southwest. No one in the restaurant could understand what they were talking about. It was only after they had spoken official language that they knew to stay at the restaurant.
Susu informed them about the living quarters's price and they were greatly shocked. They looked up and down the entire inn and finally gritted their teeth and stayed in a room to the north.
In order to save money, they didn't eat in the restaurant. After putting down their luggage, they left. At night, when they were waiting for the Uncle Biao to send Susu home, they finally returned with a few steamed buns. They only needed a few mouthfuls of water before they went upstairs.
There was a rule in the inn that regardless of the customers' business, after Xiaowan married into the Xiaowan, the big and small Heavenly Family did not stop them. However, this time, two or three days had passed, and the two of them almost could not get out early or come back late, they did not care even if they wanted to.
Xiaowan woke up early today, and coincidentally met Susu. Seeing that Susu was looking around while she was walking, she went up to him and asked: "What's the matter, are there any bad people on the road?"
Susu shook her head and laughed: "That's the person who almost goes out with me every day, I didn't see him today. Although he scared me half to death on the first day, and later, got used to it, meeting him on the road once a day, I am very at ease.
The Xiaowan asked: "Those two from the north room went out again. Did you see them on the way?"
Susu said: "No, I only saw the cart carrying goods twice on the way, I did not see the two guests."
