Li Qiusui slapped her forehead. She was full!
Now I almost have my hair turned gray because of worrying about a few cents of silver, and I still want to be so old! I became neurotic under the influence of Mrs. Zheng.
"Girl, should I do some embroidery?" Cuiping reminded.
Li Qiusui screamed.
Cuiping covered her mouth and smiled. It was hard for the girl to write on the back, and she looked like this when she pinched the embroidery needle.
Li Qiu Sui glared at her, "Why don't you bring me the embroidered bandage!"
Flowers still need to be embroidered, and the basic rule for fishing is not to attract attention.
You are allowed to be mediocre, but you are not allowed to be lazy.
The former means you don't have the qualifications, while the latter means you still have potential.
Once you are targeted by your husband, you will be in big trouble later.
Cuiping saw Li Qiu Sui looking bitter and resentful, and quietly retreated out. She still went to the kitchen to see whether it was pastries or good vegetables.
The girl put a lot of effort into her embroidery, so she always wanted some delicious food to make up for it. This was a common practice, so there was no need to ask.
Li Qiusui watched Cuiping go out from the corner of his eye without saying anything, and continued to compete with her embroidery needle.
In the evening, it was getting dark outside, and Cuizhu was still nowhere to be seen. After Li Qiusui had dinner, he also said that Cuiping had invited Xiaolu to go to the east of the city...
Cuizhu entered the courtyard here.
Cuizhu entered the room, and before she could catch her breath, she said: "...it really makes a person angry. My stepmother thought she was just greedy for the money. She never thought that there was something about Cuiyin here... "
"Drink some tea to moisten your mouth first, then speak slowly."
Over there, Cuiping poured tea into Cuizhu's hands.
Cuizhu didn't say much. He drank the whole cup of tea into his stomach in one go.
"Girl, do you still remember Cuiyin!"
It's Cui Yin again. I heard that she is the one who works in the second room and instigates Zheng Hui to cause trouble for her.
Li Qiusui nodded.
"Back then, we worked together as servants in Young Master Zheng's courtyard. We knew that he had a son at home, so I could talk to the master, and both the housekeeper and the housekeeper's wife had quite a bit of respect in front of them. How could I have the courage to take the lead? To offend someone, not to mention fawning over, we do what she says... This person's methods are extremely despicable! I don't like it, so he actually found someone to instigate my stepmother to abuse Xiaobao. She was also the one responsible for this incident The idea given.”
Cuiping was puzzled, "We never offended her! How could she be so cruel and ruthless? Xiaobao is a bigger person, your stepmother is such a thing, she is so short-sighted! She didn't give birth to Xiaobao, you raised her so well , in the future, neither you nor Xiaobao will treat her badly."
Cuizhu nodded heavily, but that wasn't the case. She was working as a maid next to the girl, and she started to have tight money. Apart from the monthly payment, she didn't have much to take home. Later, the girl sold orchids and had loose money on hand. She and Cuiping had to subsidize her and Cuiping from time to time. She didn't keep any money on hand, and handed it all over to the family. Not only did the money support a little treasure, but his father didn't need it. When you go out to work, you don’t have to worry about food and drink.
"By the way, how is Xiaobao?"
Judging from Cuizhu's appearance, Xiaobao should be fine. Cuiping might as well ask if she can rest assured.
Sure enough, Cuizhu opened her eyes and said: "Xiaobao has woken up! He even called me sister. The seeds on my head have no effect at all. The pills given by the girl are still effective!"
Cuiping also breathed a sigh of relief. She had also heard that high fever can make people stupid.
Cuizhu said in a vented voice: "...That woman is nothing! My father is really tough this time. I arrived at the Chengdong house and saw that Xiaobao was fine, so I told my father about going home. He wanted to go back with me without saying a word."
Are you and your daughter the only ones going back?
Cuizhu could see Li Qiu Sui's confusion, "The couple named Zhao came with us. It's really thanks to them, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to scare that woman."
Cuiping saw that Cuizhu was not at a disadvantage and wanted to continue listening, so he said, "Take another drink and tell us in detail."
He filled another glass of water and put it into Cuizhu's hand.
Cuizhu wiped her lips and said with a smile, "I'm really full this time!"
Cuizhu's stepmother's natal family is from this village. She married into the town. The family's livelihood is mainly male labor and relatives go to other places to do business. I heard that many of them earn money. One time, they drank alcohol on the way back and got into conflicts with others. They were all harassed. People were beaten to death.
Cuizhu's stepmother had just given birth to a daughter, so she was not valued by her husband's family, so life became difficult. Later, when Cuizhu's mother passed away after giving birth to Xiaobao, there was a marriage between two families.
Her stepmother took her daughter back to her parents' home. The girl was not brought to Cuizhu's house to raise, but stayed at her parents' home. She usually put a lot of money into it.
Cuizhu said, "Her mother's family is a bottomless pit. There are four or five brothers alone. I heard that there is also a brother who likes gambling. My father is an honest man and thinks that woman is just like my mother. All the money in the family is kept in her. I kept it in my hand. We had just arrived home, and before I even said a word to that woman, her brothers and sisters-in-law came to my door, pointed at me and scolded me. My father was protecting me, and I was alone. Li Gu, no match for those people. Uncle Zhao was smart and asked Aunt Zhao to find Li Zheng in advance. Li Zheng brought many villagers here, so we had a chance to talk."
What's wrong? You should tell her quickly. Cuiping wants to pour her a cup of tea again to soothe her throat.
Li Qiusui also sat up straight.
"My father started to say that he wanted to divorce his wife, and no one could help the woman! My father's attitude was so obvious, and the woman saw it, and cried and begged to take out the two children she had given birth to. She was talking about something and said someone was instigating it, so I asked who it was, and she said it was a maid from the Zheng family who had served Young Master Zheng before. I thought of Cui Yin, who is a perfect match in height and appearance. She did."
So has your father divorced that woman?
Cuiping was so anxious.
Cuizhu pursed her lower lip, "Never stop!"
Let the woman go! Then why are you so happy?
Cuiping gave her a blank look.
Cuizhu said gloomily: "There is no rest... My father invited Li Zheng to be a witness. Xiaobao and I don't have to worry about them anymore. We will have two children born by that woman in our old age."
"How could you agree to take the opportunity to divorce that woman so that you and Xiaobao can have a peaceful life?" Cuiping was furious.
Cuizhu, "I changed my mind in the end. Xiaobao and I don't have biological mothers. The two children born to that woman are still young..."
Are you soft-hearted? Cuiping was too lazy to speak.
Cuizhu grabbed Cuiping's hand, "I've already sold myself, she has no right to take care of me, it's just Xiaobao..."
Cuizhu knelt down in front of Li Qiu Sui, her movements were so fast that no one could react, "Girl, let Xiaobao sell himself to you! When he grows up, if he doesn't listen to you, I will break his legs with my own hands."
Li Qiusui pulled the person up.
Although Youlizheng has testified that Xiaobao does not have to support his father when he grows up, this is because the matter is still in progress. Many years later, where did the term "Public Opinion and Shojin" come from?
"If you think about it, I can sign a living contract for him. Once he is a slave, it will be difficult to cancel it in the future." Li Qiusui reminded her.
She is not an insider of Cuizhu's stepmother's decision, nor is she Cuizhu herself. She cannot empathize with her and judge what is right or wrong, but she still has to say what needs to be said first.
Cuizhu sighed, "Girl, where did you think of it? Unless Xiaobao wants to be a high official in the future, it will have no impact. We are all grateful to you for your blessing to save my life and not be controlled by that woman. How can you ask for that?"
Cuiping asked her, "Have you really thought about it?"
Cuizhu nodded. If Xiaobao can be healthy and stay with her to take care of her in the future, if she spares the woman this time, it will have nothing to do with her what her father's life is like.
After all, Cuizhu is soft-hearted.
Li Qiusui asked her, "How old is Xiaobao this year?"
Cuizhu was stunned, "I haven't reached the age of four yet."
Li Qiusui said, "Then let Xiaobao stay in the house over there first. I remember there are children in that house, and one is about the same age as Xiaobao. This way he can be considered a playmate."
Cuizhu took the time to visit the house over there, so she no longer had to worry about Xiaobao all the time.
