Chapter 368： Zhao

Chapter 368 Zhao's

"Ma'am, do you know what new things have happened in the village during this time?"

Yang Lan'er glanced at her, knowing that the little girl went to gossip with the three aunts and six wives in the village again, and smiled: "I haven't gone out since I came back today, I don't know."

"The old village chief's third daughter-in-law threw herself into the river yesterday."

"Oh, jump into the river?" Yang Lan'er raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"But he didn't die, and was rescued."

"Oh,"

"Ma'am, do you know why she threw herself into the river?"

"I don't know, little girl, don't pant like a village woman when speaking, and speak coherently." Yang Lan'er knocked on her forehead.

Xiao Ruo clutched her painful forehead and said in a low voice: "It's because the bandits ruined that night. The village head's house is considered the best in the village below. The bandits were the first to rush into their house. When a bandit searched the house, he saw that Mrs. Zhao was born as beautiful as a flower, hiding in the corner of the room and trembling with fright, I felt sorry for him, so I just..."

"Oh, I'll go outside for a walk." Yang Lan'er walked outside the door. It's been so long since the bandit incident, why did she just jump into the river now?

"Hey, ma'am, wait for my servant, I still have a few new things to say." Xiao Ruo hurried out of the room.

Xiao Zhu came from the outer courtyard, saw Yang Lan'er smiled and said, "Ma'am, someone is looking for you."

"Oh, who is it?"

"It's a woman from the village, and the slaves don't know her." Xiaozhu lowered her head and replied.

"Then go and have a look."

Yang Lan'er walked to the front yard, and saw an extremely thin woman of eighteen or nineteen years old standing in the yard.

She approached and smiled: "You are looking for me?"

This woman's eyebrows are like crescent moons, her eyes are like autumn water, and her skin is fairer than other women in the village.

Yang Lan'er has a little impression of her. She is the third daughter-in-law of the village chief's family, Mrs. Zhao, who sold her apples last time, but I don't know why she came here today?

When Mrs. Zhao saw her knelt down suddenly, she shed tears without saying a word, and choked up, "I beg Lan'er to save me."

"Hey! You get up first, get up and talk carefully." Yang Lan'er avoided her body, not accepting her gift, and motioned Xiaoruo Xiaozhu to help her up.

"If Lan'er doesn't promise me, I won't be able to kneel here today." Mrs. Zhao pushed away the support of the two maids.

The smile on Yang Lan'er's face faded, and she said softly: "Mr. Zhao, you'd better get up first and then talk. Is there anything that you can't get over?"

"Lan'er, have you heard about me?"

Yang Lan'er nodded.

"I am really driven to nowhere, please take me in, I can cook, wash and sweep the floor, I can do anything, I can endure all kinds of hardships, I just ask you to give me a place to stay.... "As he spoke, he sobbed again.

The two maids couldn't afford her.

Yang Lan'er frowned. From her crying, she learned that Zhao's affairs were known to everyone. The village chief's family divorced her, and her natal family refused to accept her. Although the husband was on her side, in the end Unable to withstand the pressure of the family, he had to compromise in the end.

"Siblings, if the family needs a servant, just accept her. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

Yang Lan'er turned around, and saw the county magistrate, Tan Anjun, and Su Yongyuan standing at the door of the study.

Upon hearing the words, Mrs. Zhao immediately kowtowed to the county magistrate: "Thank you for taking this son in, and I am very grateful to this servant."

Yang Lan'er frowned, feeling upset, Su Yongqing must have taken too much care of his own affairs, but she didn't want to save his face when he spoke up, after all, they had to rely on him for some things now.
