Chapter 46： Cinnamon

Chapter 46 Cinnamon

Meaning or servant, anyone who is not a fool knows which one to choose. Who would be willing to become a slave unless they are forced to have no other choice?

Su Ruojin is not a native of the ancients. He has been infiltrated by equality and freedom in his bones for a long time. It is difficult to accept that a person wants to sell himself. What does this person think?

 Life in Lishantun was difficult, and Feng Wangtian knew that. Since the master did not force people to sign a deed of sale, Feng Wangtian certainly hoped that his niece would not become a slave who could be bought and sold at will.

But his boss was not a bad person, and for a while Feng Wangtian didn't have the nerve to intervene. He hoped in his heart that his boss would not agree to his niece's request.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Xiang Gui thought that the second lady disagreed, and the anxious head was straight, 咚 ..., left again, and was shocked to stop Su Ruojin. To pull her up, she refused to die.

He raised his head with tears streaming down his face: "Second Lady, please!"

After twenty-four years of life, Xianggui finally grabbed a chance of survival, even if it cost her her head and blood.

"Do you know what it means to be a slave?" Without freedom in life, life and death are controlled by the master's family. What is the difference between this and being in prison?

"I know, of course I know!" Xianggui cried, "but I would rather be a slave with no real freedom than a fake dead person who can be abused by others."

Faking the dead?

Su Ruojin stared at Xianggui's face. Although she was crying with tears all over her face at this moment, she was many times better than the life-and-death look she had last night. Would anyone really rather sell themselves into slavery than go back to their original life? ?

But even if the original life is not satisfactory, at least it is free!

Cheng Yingzhen heard the noise in the corridor and came out with her baby in her arms. She saw Xianggui kneeling in front of her daughter. She was happy to know that she was going to sell herself. She bought out Xianggui. From then on, all the people and things in her past could not hinder Su. Home.

Seeing that his daughter was still silent, he stepped forward and asked, "If you sell it, you won't have any regrets. Are you still willing?"

"I am willing...I am willing..." Xianggui knelt down in front of Cheng Yingzhen and hugged her legs with both hands. "Madam, I would rather work for you all my life than go back to the old days and let others bully me."

Feng Wangtian originally wanted to stop her, but when he heard what his niece said, he sighed. He thought about how haggard he looked when he went to pick her up from his sister's house. He couldn't even bear to look at her!

The poverty in the mountains is unimaginable to those who have never seen it. They eat soup and chew grass for two meals a day. Many families don’t even have a set of clothes to go out. There are many boys aged seven or eight in the village who are naked. Running wild outside.

My sister has a large family of dozens of people, and life is already difficult. The niece was divorced and returned to her parents' home, and she has another mouth to talk to. There is no room for her mother-in-law. She beats or scolds her every day, and she wishes she would trample her to death so that she will lose a piece of food. Q.

If it weren’t for her sister’s desperate protection, Xianggui would have died so many times!

Difficult! It’s so hard to live! If he hadn't run out of the mountains and came to the capital to meet the noble family, what would be the difference between their family and his sister's family! He understood what his niece meant and sold himself off. From then on, he had nothing to do with the Chen family who abused her. Although he was a slave, he had monthly money to draw. Such a good boss would definitely not rub her down. Her future life would be very different. It may not be too moisturizing.

 Cheng Yingzhen knew that her daughter had a kind heart and would not tolerate being a slave to others, but the world was like this, and she, a little person, could not change it.

“Ah Jin, we didn’t force her, it was her own choice.”

"Yes, madam, second lady, Xianggui is willing to do so. She will never regret it in the future, and she is willing to work for you..."

"There is no need for you to act like a cow or a horse, as long as you do what you have to do well, don't reveal the master's affairs or secret recipes, and be a loyal slave."

Hearing the word slave, Xianggui’s eyes brightened, and she opened her eyes with excitement, “Second Lady, do you agree?”

If the days of slavery are better than her original days, Su Ruojin is willing to fulfill her heart, "then buy it." Only then did she catch her.

Feng Wangtian wanted to go home, so he stayed for two more days. He didn't go home until he went to the government to get Xianggui's selling contract. When he went back, he took away the ten taels of silver that Xianggui sold himself to, "Uncle, tell your mother, The money was given to his old Chen family. From now on, I, Xianggui, will be considered dead and have nothing to do with them anymore."

Feng Wangtian sighed and felt happy for his niece. After all, she was living a good life.

Looking at the ten taels of silver that her uncle took away, Xianggui was unwilling to accept it. In fact, she told the host's family that she only needed to give them a modest two taels. She really didn't want to let the Chen family get so much silver. But the master was busy doing things, and she had no choice. Looking at her uncle's back, she felt a little melancholy, but more importantly, she was full of hope for the future.

Suddenly, she ran after him.

Cheng Yingzhen was a little worried, "Do you regret it?"

Su Ruojin shook his head, "No."

“Can’t bear to leave her uncle?”

“Nor.”

“That’s...” Cheng Yingzhen couldn’t guess.

Su Ruojin guessed a few things, "I guess he asked his uncle to pay a few taels less for selling her body, and let his uncle secretly give the rest to her mother."

After hearing what her daughter said, Cheng Yingzhen thought it was possible. She smiled and said, "I was as dejected as a dead person two days ago, but today I have become smarter."

It is better to be clever than stupid.

Three days ago, Su Ruojin was still wondering whether to use her, but now he bought her. Things in the world are really unpredictable.

Now that she has escaped from the suffering of her native family, even though Xianggui is too busy in the Su family, her face has undergone visible changes, from gray and yellow to plump and pale, wearing a light brown linen shirt and skirt. Dressed neatly and neatly, the whole person walks with the wind blowing on the soles of his feet, and the whole person is full of vitality, which makes people happy to see it.

 Cheng Yingzhen, mother and son, were freed from housework. Cheng Yingzhen concentrated on taking care of her son. When she had time, she began to use needle and thread to make clothes for the family, of course when her daughter was not at home.

Her daughter felt sorry for her and didn't ask her to do such troublesome work, but she couldn't rest, and she always felt uncomfortable because she didn't have any work in hand.

Thinking of this, maybe this is the shadow that my daughter said her family of origin cast on her. Think about it, in the first seventeen years of her life, the life she lived in her uncle's house was almost the same as that of Xianggui!

There are so many miserable people in the world!

 With the manpower at home, Shutong was completely freed from the breakfast stall and followed the little master all day long to find a suitable breakfast shop.

In order to make walking easier, Su Ruojin wrote a book and dressed up as a boy, and would drag Su Dalang out every now and then to see how to choose a shop and how to deal with people in the dental shop. "In the future, when you become a parent official, you will definitely have to deal with people's livelihood. You don't have to know these things." , but you must understand and don’t be blinded by the adjutants and subordinates below.”

Su Ruojin's search for a shop has long attracted Mrs. Xu's attention. She found her idle son and said, "Let's play tricks on her."

One update at 12:00 noon, and another one at 7:00 pm!
