Xiao Ji told Yan Zhu all about Hong Xing'er's behavior.
Yan Zhu expressed satisfaction with her and gave her the promised gold earrings.
Xiaoji is so beautiful that she finally has a chance to show off in front of the older girl. She keeps talking and her chubby face smiles particularly sweetly.
At this moment, she had already told how the old man was yelling in the house and how he went out and got in the car.
He told Wen Yu how the second master limped away from the side door and where he went.
Finally, he said: "Miss, if you have something to do in the future, just ask Zhuzhu to tell the slave to do it..."
Wen Yu leaned against the cushion with a smile on her lips, "I heard from Zhuzhu that you are very familiar with Wen's family. Now I really want to ask you something."
"Girl, please ask me!"
"It's like this. In a few days, the old lady will hand over my mother's dowry to me. I have never been in charge of property before, and it is not convenient for a big girl to go out.
There are only two little girls around me, Zhuzhu and Hong Xinger. As for Zhuzhu, I have another great use. So there is only Hongxing, a big girl. Alas, you also know that she is still devoted to the eldest wife. Therefore, I am short of someone in charge of the industry outside, and I am short of two big girls..."
"Big girl? Two?! Girl, what do you want?!" Xiao Ji's heart was beating wildly and he was sweating all over.
"First of all, you have to be loyal! You have to be devoted to me. Secondly, you have to be capable. Those who are in charge outside must be literate. Those who manage money and property must be careful. The key is...the hands and feet must be clean and free of bad habits. Well...still You need to be able to deal with people outside and do things. It is best to be decent-looking. After all, in the future, you will be a manager or shopkeeper for me."
Xiaoji can hardly breathe, is it in charge? Shopkeeper? Taking care of industry?
Oh My God! This is a good thing falling from the sky!
"As for the girl, I don't want to be pretty, loyal and careful. I want to find it myself first, and don't want the second wife to assign me. Well, that's all for now, Xiaoji, what do you recommend?"
Xiao Ji was even more dizzy when he heard this. Don't you want to look good? ! Me, me! Can I do it? !
Her ideal in life since childhood was to be the big girl next to girls. Dress well, eat well, go out with the girl as a guest, and hang out among the decent girls.
Then, the girl married well, she was slave to her master, how proud was she?
You know, the eldest girl next to the girl has a better position than the aunt! ! Like the mother next to the old lady, even the girls have to be polite.
She longed for this opportunity day and night.
But her father and brother were ostracized in the house and could not help her. As for herself, she looks... Which girl next to her is not slender and pretty?
For this reason, she complained more than once that her parents favored sons over daughters and made her brothers look so handsome, but they made her look like a teapot with no mouth.
All her talents are useless.
Over the years, I have been looking for opportunities everywhere, saving some money to curry favor with the grandma in charge, let alone the big girl next to the girl, I can't even be considered a second-class girl!
When I heard the girl say this, I felt like I had a life-saving straw. I wanted to hold on to it, but I was afraid of being rejected by the girl. All my dreams were completely in vain, and I was almost crying.
"Hey, Xiaoji, what's wrong with you?" Wen Yu saw Xiaoji's expression changing, wanting to laugh and cry, so he deliberately teased her.
"Girl...I, I..." He knelt down with a plop. "Girl, although Xiao Ji is not good-looking, Xiao Ji will definitely be loyal, and will only be loyal to girls in his life! And I..." She broke into sweat and didn't know what to say. "Hongdou, no, no, no, Zhuzhu, Xiaoji doesn't know what to say anymore. Can you help me talk to the girl!?"
She looked at Yan Zhu with a flattering look.
Yan Zhu spat out the melon seeds in her mouth and nodded, "Girl, Xiaoji is a good girl. She is actually quite capable."
"Yes, girl, Xiaoji is very capable. He is not afraid of being dirty or tired. Xiaoji is willing to serve the girl. Give the girl a chance..."
Wen Yu said: "Zhuzhu said so, and you behave like this... then let's try it."
When Xiaoji heard this, she was filled with joy and immediately kowtowed, bangbang: "Thank you, girl, thank you girl! Wow..." She really cried.
"Okay! Get up! Let's make an agreement first. If you don't do well and don't like what I want, I can quit you."
"Don't worry, girl, Xiaoji will do a good job."
"Well, actually I need a lot of people. What are your parents and brothers doing now? Will the whole family come over to make things easier?" Wen Yu hesitated.
Xiaoji nodded desperately, "Of course it would be best if the whole family worked for you, and they all work in one place. For example, Xiaoji, the whole family knows all the temperaments, and they can discuss things with you and work more carefully for you. Look at the second wife There are whole families working for her, including the girl, the young master, and the former. If she follows different masters, there will be fights between the masters, which will be troublesome! "
"Eh? Xiaoji, you are very smart! This is better than Zhuzhu." Wen Yu joked.
Yan Zhu glared at Xiao Ji, what's the matter? You haven’t come yet, so you want to compare me to someone else?
Xiaoji smiled flatteringly: "Sister Zhuzhu..."
"I just don't know if your father and brother are willing to..."
"Girl who is willing! I am willing! My father and brothers are very capable. My brothers are also literate and can read ledgers! But there is no chance... Girl, you will never regret using them."
"I hope... you go back first and talk to them quietly. If you want, I will tell the old lady later and ask for your family to come over. Remember not to disturb others."
Xiao Ji whispered, "Xiao Ji knows! If the girl can get your mother's dowry back, I don't know how many people will be jealous!"
Well, this girl is really smart.
Yan Zhu said: "Tell your father: Don't think that our girl has never been in charge of property before, just because she is easy to fool. I tell you, our girl is very smart! If you make false promises for a long time, they will not be able to do it by then." You’re going to be a drag!”
"That's not possible!" Xiaoji said categorically. A great opportunity finally fell from the sky. I want them to drag me down! "Girl, don't worry, girl... I can't be wrong. I'm so happy..." She wiped away her tears again.
That night, Xiaoji trotted home. Her mother and brother have come back, but her father has not come back yet.
Her face turned red and she was sweating profusely. She wanted to say something, but she also wanted to wait until her father came back to discuss it together. After all, it was her father who had the big decision.
Anxious, restless. When I went in, the door slammed.
Her mother was annoyed, "What are you doing, girl?"
"Mom! Please be more polite when you talk to me from now on! Huh! You, all of you, have to count on me for support!" She said proudly, her nostrils turned upward.
Her mother didn't like her because of her ugly appearance. She said, "I'm sick!" So she picked up the bed sweeper, and Xiao Ji ran to the side to be quiet.
After a long time, her father came back. He was a thin man in his forties, poorly dressed but quite clean. It can be seen that he was very talented when he was young.
The family gathered together... Sure enough, they were all quite handsome, and I don't know why Xiaoji was so different.
Xiaoji didn't even wait for her father to sit down, and suddenly became excited. "Dad, I have something big to say!"
Xiaoji's father's name is Li Yuanqing, his eldest brother Li Jiang, his second brother Li Yuan, and his fourth brother Li Tan.
"Is there something important to say again? Okay, let's talk." Although the girl is ugly, she is still her own child. no way.
Then, Xiaoji said the matter angrily.
After hearing this, Xiaoji's family were all a little stunned: "Are you telling the truth?!" her father asked.
But her mother shook her head: "This is impossible, isn't it? The eldest girl..." But she knew: the eldest girl is not favored, and she spends her days trying to please everyone, but gets nothing.
She is not welcome in this family! If you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather, and the big boss doesn’t care about her! On weekdays, those girls and women talk a lot. "I've never heard of anything about dowry!"
Xiaoji was excited, "The girl told me this herself! What could you hear in the kitchen and warehouse?" with a look of disdain on his face.
She was so effeminate that she almost went to copy the broom again.
"Why would a big girl tell you this?" asked Dad Xiaoji.
"I'm friends with Zhuzhu from the eldest girl's house! Zhuzhu recommended me to the eldest girl!"
"But... tell you?" Her father didn't believe it.
"Tell me what's going on? The eldest girl needs help! The outside industry needs people to take care of, and the people around her need to be served. The eldest girl said she wants to make me a first-class girl!" Xiaoji's eyes gleamed.
Father Xiao Ji believed it. Although his girl always loves to dream, she is really not a liar.
When a eldest girl reaches an age and wants to get engaged, a dowry will definitely be involved, but it is still impossible to hand it over to the girl...
"I recommended our family to the girl, and she agreed. Don't give me the monkey half-heartedly! If you don't let me be the eldest girl again, I won't be done with you!" Xiao Ji said sternly.
Xiao Ji’s father was angry: This girl!
But after looking at the three sons, I found that the eldest was nineteen and none of them were married. It was because the family couldn't find a good one in the house. And he didn't want to find something wrong that would delay his life. I can’t see a future!
"Xiaoji." Her father sighed, "We are slaves, and we obey our master in everything. If it is true as the girl said, and she wants us to go, father will take your brother with him, and he will be loyal without any hesitation. Here. Before, we didn’t have a chance to talk, you know?”
Xiaoji's face was filled with happiness, "Okay, it's good if you know!"
"Silly girl, we have our enemies in this family, and they won't let us go easily. You have to tell the girl that if you want someone, you have to find a way. Otherwise, our family will be in misery." At least the family is now in trouble. Still together.
If he really offends the second wife, he might be sold separately.
That would be tragic...
"Don't worry! My daughter understands this!" Xiaoji shook his head proudly.
