Chapter 9 The Sisters Settle Accounts Clearly
Qiao Mai found a thermos from the space, took out the red ginseng water in the pot, put it in the space, cleaned the pot, cleaned the stove, and then returned to the kang to continue lying down.
When Ruxin came, she was sleeping. The little girl was really diligent. When she came, she washed the dishes first, and then sat at the table and continued to draw.
I have to say that Lu Sanniang's tutor is really good.
These two daughters are polite, not snobby, hardworking, and kind-hearted like her.
In the evening, they cooked the meal again, put it on the kang table, and after calling her to get up, Mrs. Lu and Ruyi also came.
"Sister, are you feeling better?"
"It's much better, but it's too hard like a core, so don't come tomorrow, I can do it myself."
"No, we have discussed it. We will take care of you for at least ten days. After that, we will see how you recover. Then we will decide whether you are at home alone or send someone to accompany you at home."
"Okay then, I'll listen to my sister."
Qiao Mai is not a pushy person either, so just come.
"That's right, why don't you eat, and we'll go home first?"
"Uh-huh."
The Lu family left with the two daughters, and Qiao Mai didn't have to come out to cut in the door, they locked the courtyard door behind their hands.
"Mother, Aunt Qiao looks nice."
"You've only known it for a day?" Lu Sanniang smiled and glanced at Ruxin.
"Yes, my daughter thinks it's very compatible with her."
"She is indeed a good person. My mother asked someone to inquire about it. What she said is true. She didn't lie to us at all. It's really pitiful. Good people are bullied by others, and good people are ridden by others. Good people always get rubbed grind it."
"Mother, it's a blessing in disguise, but I know it's not a blessing. It's not bad to take this opportunity to escape from that devil's lair."
"Let's treat it as a family from now on?"
"Okay, my daughter likes a large family."
Such days lasted for ten days in a flash. I ate enough and drank enough. With the nourishment of red ginseng water, Qiao Mai's body became better day by day, and now I don't feel sore tailbone when I sit.
Every morning and night, she would exercise on the kang for a quarter of an hour, and her body was recovering rapidly.
The sun is good outside, and when there is no wind, she will bask in the sun for a while.
In order to make her hands feel better, she soaks them in hot water with a little vinegar for a quarter of an hour every day, then wipes them dry and then applies some hand oil from the space.
Sleeping in the space every night, the body does not need to take a bath, it is already clean and refreshing, the parasites on the body have disappeared, and the hair has a little shine.
She combs her hair neatly every day, and Lu Sanniang also gave her a hairpin.
In terms of appearance, she doesn't look like a married woman at all, Lu Xin would compliment her every time she came.
"Aunt Qiao, you are looking better and better now. When we stand together, people will definitely say that you are younger than me."
"Stop praising me, I don't know what I look like? I can't hook up with being pretty."
Indeed, when she looked at herself in the environment, it took her a long time to accept it.
In her previous life, she was a cute, sweet, and super cute type, but now she has become such an ordinary woman, and she can't accept it.
But you can't have your cake and eat it too, think about it, without a good-looking appearance, she can live with more peace of mind.
As for remarrying? I have never considered men in my previous life, and I look like this in this life. A good man will definitely look down on me, and she will also look down on him, so I might as well live by myself. Fortunately, I have a baby to accompany me, so I won’t be bored with.
Half a month later, Lu Sanniang gave her the house key.
"Sister, you can move now. We won't come here if we have nothing to do. If you are bored, go to the street."
Qiao Mai stretched out his hand to take it, "Look, my hand is almost healed. I'll embroider it in a few days and put it in your shop. Let's try to sell it first."
"No rush, it won't be too late to talk about it after you fully recover."
"Let's talk about it in advance, I just have something to tell you."
"Speak, sister, listen."
"That's right, you know what my natal family and my previous in-law's family are like. I just want to live a quiet life and don't want to trouble my upper body, so I ask my sister to get a fake deed of prostitution and keep it with me."
"Fake sale contract?"
"If my natal family comes to make trouble, I will take this thing out, and say that I sold myself to you to work in your embroidery village in order to survive."
Lu Sanniang thought for a while, "I can have this."
"What's more, let's write a fake IOU."
"Do you still need to write an IOU?"
"Yes, I fell ill after giving birth to a child, and you cured me. Even the treatment and health care cost twenty taels of silver."
"Are you afraid that someone from your natal family will come to **** blood?"
"Well, if they can sell me once, they can sell me twice. Even if they sell themselves, they still think about my monthly money. If they owe money, they will naturally have to pay it back, so that they will never change their minds again. It's on me."
"It's clearly written in the law. After a girl gets married, she will no longer be controlled by her natal family. They don't have the guts to do that, do they?"
"The law is the law. I can't sue my parents to the yamen. I have to be punished myself. Speaking of which, this is also a family matter. Generally, the people don't sue the officials and don't investigate. Besides, if they entangle me with the favor of giving birth, Neither can I."
"That makes sense. That's fine. I'll put it on the counter tomorrow. If anyone dares to come to my shop to make a fuss about you, I'll use this to deal with them and help you vent your anger."
"It is Qiao Mai's blessing to meet my sister. In the future, we will cooperate and strive to earn more money."
"Speaking of this, we have to settle accounts with our brothers. In the future, your embroidery will be sold in my shop. I plan to share it with you. After all, the embroidery art and materials are yours. If I sell them, then Let's get fifty-five points, what do you think?"
"I listen to my sister. When the time comes, I will write a document. Our sisters will put our fingerprints on it. Will we be considered sisters to settle accounts?"
"Haha, yes, I will deliver it in a few days."
While talking, Lu Sanniang took out a pouch from her bosom and stuffed it into her hand.
"Here is ten taels of silver. You take the **** first. If the cloth shop in the town does not have good cloth, you can take a car to the county. There are many cars on the official road that carry passengers back and forth. If you make a round trip every day, you want If you are afraid, call me to go with you."
Qiao Mai asked when she saw that she mentioned the county seat.
"Sister, my household registration has not been done yet. I annoyed them by leaving Tian's house at the beginning. I don't think it will be easy to move this household registration."
Lu Sanniang pursed her lips and thought for a while, "Don't be afraid, you stay here first. I'll ask someone to see if I can take some trouble and get it done straight away. By the way, where is your divorce letter?"
"It's been kept well."
"Don't worry about this. With my sister here, there will be a way to solve it."
After Shopkeeper Lu left, Qiao Mai went back to the courtyard, locked the courtyard door, went back to the house and locked the door again, and then flashed into the space.
The little baby has been in the space for half a month, and sleeps every day when he is full. He seems to have grown a little bit, and has a little flesh on his body, and his skin is not so red anymore. He looks like a normal child .
Qiao Mai lightly poked her little face with her fingers, and the child continued to sleep after sucking her little mouth.
She got up and went to the shelf, picked up the palace fan and embroidery and looked at them carefully.
This whole row is full of this, and it is more than enough to open a shop, most of which are bought, and a dozen of them are embroidered by herself, after all, she had limited time at that time.
Seeing that the weather is getting warmer, it's time for her to make a plan.
Shopkeeper Lu has invested a lot in himself, so she has to see some results no matter what.
So Qiao Mai took ten taels of silver, locked the door and left the house. She planned to get acquainted with the environment first.
So she wandered around the area where she lived first, and she found that the houses in this area were exactly the same, and no other places were different, only this area was like this.
It seems that all the people living here are foreigners, and they are all tenants.
Is this a slum in a small town? Or call it a street of outsiders?
Similar to a Chinatown abroad in the previous life? Really fresh!
