Zhen Yi went to the river to fetch water for cooking dinner and boiling water for bathing, and happened to see this scene.
It was his parents who saw a weak family getting a reward from the emperor, so they shamelessly got involved, and then were thrown out!
Don't know how much do they want as a gift this time?
With a father and mother who suck human blood like leeches, she would feel ashamed to marry into any good family.
Zhen Yi put the bucket down and while filling it, she looked at her face reflected in the river.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that being a human being was really boring, and she wanted to just jump into the river and end it all!
Zhen Yi looked at the sparkling river, the migratory birds under the blue sky, and the gorgeous sunset...
Nothing is more beautiful than her life!
Ruoshui hurried home and frowned when he saw Zhen Yi standing by the river with a lost figure from the corner of his eye.
Not wanting to meddle in other people's business, he strode away. After taking a few steps, he stopped again.
Cursing in a low voice, he walked towards the river. Before he got close, he shouted to the river: "Zhen Yi."
Zhen Yi came back to her senses and turned around to see Ruo Shui. She lowered her head subconsciously and asked, "Brother Ruo Shui, did my parents get involved with your family again just now? I'm sorry!"
"It's okay, you are you, your parents are your parents, you don't need to apologize for them."
Zhen Yi lowered her head and said, "You don't need to care what my parents say, just ignore them."
Ruoshui said: "I know this, you don't have to worry. I came to you because my family is going to hire someone to open up wasteland for 300 yuan a day. Then you can go and help when you have time!"
Zhen Yi was surprised and looked up at him: "Isn't it fifty coins?"
The village chief said that the price for men was 100 yuan and for women was 50 yuan. Many villagers went to the village chief to sign up. Zhen Yi did not want to get close to the weak family and was afraid of embarrassing the weak family, so she did not sign up.
Ruoshui said: "If you say fifty cents to the outside world, we will give three hundred cents to some diligent people in private. Don't talk about this to anyone, and don't say it to anyone. Just say fifty cents a day."
Zhen Yi understood that the other party was afraid that she would tell her parents. She nodded: "Brother Ruoshui, don't worry, I won't tell."
"Then remember to clear up wasteland when the time comes."
Zhen Yi smiled and thanked her, but did not agree: "Thank you, Brother Ruoshui."
Weowu Shui was just afraid that she would not be able to think about it for a while. After all, we were in the same village and we all grew up together. If something happened, she would feel uncomfortable.
After all, if he had a father like Zhen Yi, he would either run away from home or not want to live anymore!
"Is there any news about your third sister?"
Zhen Yi shook her head.
Ruoshui nodded: "If there is no news, it might be good news, so you don't have to worry!"
After Ruoshui said this, he left.
No news is good news, Zhen Yi feels right.
My father wanted to send the third sister to a wealthy family in the next town for a wedding, but the third sister ran away overnight and was never seen.
She knew that the third sister had eloped with He Dayong, the hunter from the next village, but there had been no news from her for two or three years, and she didn't know how she was doing now.
However, I think it should be better than home!
Brother He is good at hunting, and the third sister is a very goal-oriented and good at running a household.
Zhen Yi thought that Zhen Mei would make money in the past, and always secretly saved a portion of the money she earned. This was the reason why she was able to run away overnight.
Zhen Yi was suddenly startled. Brother Ruoshui asked her to open up wasteland and paid herself such a high salary, and then suddenly mentioned the third sister. What was he hinting at, or was he trying to give herself the confidence to get out of her current hardship?
Weak family members are all good people!
Zhen Yi was no longer as frustrated as before when she was interrupted by Ruoshui.
At worst, she ran away like the third sister!
Although she didn't have anyone to elope with, the third sister told her where she would go, and she could go and join her when the time came.
After thinking about it, Zhen Yi filled the bucket and went home with a load of water.
What Ruoshui said was not a suggestion that Zhen Yi should elope with someone. He just wanted to tell her that there are many escape routes in life, and she has the hands and feet to avoid going to a dead end.
The worst thing is to just walk away!
Life is full of infinite possibilities!
Of course, Weak Shui's temperament is quite unconventional, and his ideas are different from many people's.
When he learned that Zhen Mei had run away, he appreciated it very much!
What a female man!
Great run!
Great run!
Running and croaking!
When Ruoshui returned home, the villagers had already left. Everyone was busy moving tables and dishes to the village chief's house for a drinking party.
Before Yuci's things were moved, he immediately picked up two large boxes and walked to the stone house at the back.
Ruoxuan was in the stone house looking at what was in the box.
There was a whole box of gold ingots, about ten taels each. They were so golden that Xiu Xuan liked them very much.
There is also a whole box of jewelry and jade. There are ones suitable for children, and there are also ones suitable for young women and old women. Most of them are for children. Obviously the people who prepare them are very careful.
The most abundant items are fabrics, including silks, silks, and satins. They are all tributes. Every piece of fabric is the best, and even many outside cloth shops cannot buy it.
There are many pieces of cloth that the powerful and powerful people in Beijing have saved for their children to use when they get married.
The fabrics are also available in various colors, so everyone, men and women, old and young, can find something suitable.
Ruoxuan found a set of emerald hair and face for Mrs. Lei, a set of rubies and red gold hair and face for her mother, and a set of South Sea pearls for Jiang. These three sets of hair and face are the best among them, and each set can be regarded as a legend. Family treasures are passed down.
In addition to hair and face, Xuan Bao also picked out some items, such as hairpins, bracelets, jade pendants, earrings and other small jewelry for them. Everyone has a jewelry box full.
The jewelry box was made by Ruohe before and had some flaws. The defective product was not sold and was used by Xuanbao.
Then he gave each of his uncles and brothers a jade pendant, which were all heirloom-level jade pendants.
Jiang and Liu were even asked to randomly select fabrics to make clothes for their families.
The whole family refused.
Mrs. Jiang waved her hand: "It's too valuable. I can't wear it in the village. I keep Xuan Bao as a dowry. Second Auntie doesn't want it!"
She has no daughter, so it is not suitable to wear it in the village.
Mrs. Lei also said: "Yes, grandma is old. I don't like these fancy things. I will be worried when I go to the ground wearing them!"
Ruoxuan said: "I can't wear it now, but I can wear it in the future! Keep it all. I will make more money in the future and buy more jewelry for everyone. I won't be afraid of losing it! Buy it again if you lose it!"
The whole family was amused by Ruoxuan.
Mrs. Liu and Ruoshui smiled and advised everyone to keep it.
Finally, Mrs. Lei also spoke and asked everyone to accept it.
Ruoxuan also picked two red gold butterfly headdresses made of colorful gemstones and stuck them in her hair. As long as she moved her head slightly, the butterfly wings would flutter, just like real ones!
Flowers love to attract bees and butterflies!
Ruoxuan said happily: "Aren't we going to treat everyone to a banquet? I'll go treat Grandma Xuanyuan and Brother Xuanyuan!"
She has something for Shenjun Xuanyuan and Grandma Xuanyuan, and by the way, Shenjun Xuanyuan can see if her butterfly is beautiful! (End of chapter)
