Chapter 108 Lianxin is too bitter
"Our family's business has nothing to do with Mrs. Zhang!"

In the snow, Aunt Lianxin also yelled anxiously, dragging Lianxin, who was crying endlessly, to the outside of the village.

No one understood her, and she was very sad, but the man in the family died in battle. Although there will be a monthly pension, from this month onwards, the pension silver has become pension food.

Winter is coming, there is enough food, but there is still no money, the family still has a son to support, in the future, Lian Xin's younger brother will marry a wife, and there are many places where money will be used.

Lian Xin went to the military rations, so she didn't have to worry about food and drink, and there was Lian Xin's envoy at home.

Sheng Jiaojiao was so cruel that she would not save her, so she would not beg her.

If Lian Xin entered the military dormitory, it would be the fate of the poor in the future. I can only hope that Lian Xin will find a good man in the future to redeem her body and take her out of the military dormitory.

Tears also appeared on Wenxiu's face, she turned her head and looked at Sheng Jiaojiao, who was standing quietly in the fine snow, taking the umbrella for herself.

There is no dirt and white snow, the girl is noble and indifferent, with a pair of clear eyes, under the eaves of the umbrella, there is no wave.

Wenxiu stood up, looked at Sheng Jiaojiao weeping, and cried:

"How can there be such a mother in this world?"

She had just given birth to a little girl, so when she saw Lian Xin's experience, she felt a little empathetic, wishing to knead this mother's heart into a ball and twist it tightly.

It's really unbearable.

Sheng Jiaojiao blinked her eyelashes slightly, then spoke calmly,
"Tell your uncle to wait at the gate of the military dormitory. After Aunt Lianxin completes Lianxin's slave registration and household registration, she will buy Lianxin back for me."

After finishing speaking, Sheng Jiaojiao held an umbrella alone, turned around, came in high spirits, and returned disappointed, losing interest in enjoying the snow.

Wenxiu stood in the snow, staring at Sheng Jiaojiao's back in a daze. She was stunned for a long time before she realized what Sheng Jiaojiao had told her. She hurriedly let out a happy "Hey", turned and ran home.

At night, Lian Xin, whose nose was red from the cold, was led by Zhang Jin. She huddled, lowered her head, wore tattered shoes, twisted the corners of her tattered clothes with both hands, and stood quietly in Zhang Jin's eyes. behind.

The old lady of the Qi family sat on the main seat in the main room, looked at Lian Xin, then at Zhang Jin, and asked in disbelief:
"This, our Jiao Jiaoer really ordered you to bring it back from the gate of the military dormitory?"

"Returning to the old lady is exactly what Jiao Niang ordered."

Zhang Jin replied respectfully, bending his waist slightly.

Miss Qi, who was tying the sash at the side, heard it, and immediately put down the sash in her hand, got up, and went to Sheng Jiaojiao's room.

As soon as she entered Sheng Jiaojiao's room, she raised her hand, pulled Sheng Jiaojiao's ear gently, and asked anxiously:

"Girl, what are you doing to get Lian Xin back? Uncle Zhang even took that child into the main room."

Sheng Jiaojiao tilted her head, she was reading a book, when she heard what A Niang said, she hurriedly got up, rubbed her ears and ran to the main room, and said:

"Uncle Zhang is really neat in handling things, and he got things done so quickly."

The little Qi family can only speak a word, Sheng Jiaojiao has already walked to the main room before the words finished.

After chasing after her, Miss Qi who originally wanted to hit her a few times withdrew her hand in time.

Although she was annoyed that Sheng Jiaojiao spent money and got Lian Xin back, Zhang Jin was still in the main room at the moment, and Miss Qi knew that she wanted to show Sheng Jiaojiao face in front of outsiders.

So as soon as he entered the main room, he lost the opportunity to attack Sheng Jiaojiao, so he could only withdraw his hand and followed Sheng Jiaojiao into the house.

Seeing that Sheng Jiaojiao was sitting beside Mrs. Qi, Miss Qi could only stare at Sheng Jiaojiao, and sat with Second Lady Qi.

"I've seen Jiao Niang."

When Sheng Jiaojiao was seated, Zhang Jin immediately cupped his fists, bowed, and saluted Sheng Jiaojiao.

He had already learned from Wen Xiu that Sheng Jiaojiao intended to use him, so it was the master and servant who met Sheng Jiaojiao.

The old lady Qi and all the ladies in the Qi family fell silent. Originally, when Zhang Jin came to the door with Lian Xin, the family didn't know what to say, and when Sheng Jiaojiao came, they didn't know what to say.

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the side of the main seat, looked at Zhang Jin dignifiedly.

Zhang Jin is over 40 years old, about the same age as Mrs. Qi, with dark skin and a sturdy appearance. He wears a woolen waistcoat and looks honest.

A moment later, a gentle smile appeared in Sheng Jiaojiao's eyes,
"Uncle Zhang is really reliable in his work, and he has done a good job. I will ask Mrs. Zhang to bring back the transportation and horse fees to the uncle tomorrow. It is hard for the uncle to make a trip."

"It's a villain's honor to do things for Jiao Niang."

Zhang Jin replied respectfully, the last time he went to the pawnshop in Shanqing City for Sheng Jiaojiao, and after returning, Sheng Jiaojiao gave him a lot of money for transportation, so much money Zhang Jin couldn't even imagine.

No wonder he lives in Huangguo Village. I have heard people say that Sheng Jiaojiao hired Niu Yuan and Niu Ju to do things, but he was very generous. The salary he paid to the father and daughter was like buying the lives of the father and daughter. That's enough.

Therefore, Zhang Jin was even more concerned about working for Sheng Jiaojiao again this time, and did not dare to delay during the period. After buying Lian Xin, who had been changed to a slave register, he brought Lian Xin directly to Qi's house to return to his errands.

Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Zhang Jin with a smile, and said softly:
"Uncle Zhang is good at handling things. I will not treat you and my wife badly in the future."

"Yes, my wife and I will work hard for Jiao Niang in the future."

Zhang Jin bowed his back, and pushed Lian Xin who was standing beside him two steps forward, took out Lian Xin's slave registration booklet, and gave it to Sheng Jiaojiao with both hands, and returned to Sheng Jiaojiao in detail what happened after receiving Lian Xin listen.

In fact, there is nothing very special, it is nothing more than how much Lianxin's mother asked for, and how much Zhang Jin used.

Like buying and selling goods, there is not much difference.

In the end, Zhang Jin said a few more words on the occasion, and then respectfully withdrew from the Qi family.

After Zhang Jin left, Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Lian Xin kindly and asked:
"Do you want to go back to your home?"

Lian Xin shook her head, with a numb expression on her face flushed from the cold, her small body, dressed in rags, stood in the main room, facing the members of the Qi family, and said in a low voice:

"My aunt has changed my household registration to slave registration."

It doesn't need money to change a good status to a slave status, and it will be changed soon. After changing to a slave status, it means that this is a slave and can be traded.

However, the slave status must be exchanged for good status, and the price is very high, and it cannot be exchanged for good status so easily.

So even if Lian Xin returned home, she would be sold by her mother for the second time, the third time, many times.

Then she might as well stay at Qi's house, as Wen Xiu said, at least Qi's house is better than a place like the military dormitory.

In the main room of the Qi family, there was a brief silence. Miss Qi looked at the old lady Qi, her heart was a little soft, after all, Lian Xin was too young, and her family changed her into a slave for such an older child ,well.

The old lady's heart is also uncomfortable. Lian Xin is a child of Huangtu Village, so she must have watched her grow up. This child is actually very obedient, sensible, and very smart, but there is no better one. mother.

All the women in the Qi family were silent, but Mrs. Qi San was always outspoken, she patted the armrest of the chair and said:
"Your aunt is really not a thing. Tiger venom doesn't eat children. I'm so mad. I'll beat your aunt up."

She hadn't used iron sand palms for a long time, and Qi Rong didn't get into trouble recently, so her iron sand palms were empty, and now she heard such absurd things done by Aunt Lianxin, she felt very angry.

Where in the world is there such a mother?

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was sitting upright, looked sideways, glanced at Mrs. Qi San, then at Lian Xin standing in the middle of the main room, and said:

"If you hate your mother, my third wife can vent your anger on your behalf."

Lian Xin shook her head again, a trace of sadness finally appeared on her numb face, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said in a soft voice:

"I don't hate my aunt, but I don't want to go home either. Sir, my aunt has already sold me. From now on, Lianxin has no family. The Qi family is my home. I was born into the Qi family. Death is the Qi family's ghost."

Saying that, the little Lian Xin knelt down, kowtowed to Sheng Jiaojiao, choked up and cried:

"I beg you to take me in, sir. In this life, Lian Xin will be a slave and a servant girl. I will serve you wholeheartedly, be it beating or scolding, Lian Xin will be grateful to you."

She is really a smart child, she can talk like this at such an age, and the eyes of the Qi family who are at a loss are all red for a while.

They were very puzzled by Sheng Jiaojiao's act of spending money to get a child back.

Now they understand that if the Qi family can't take Lianxin in, she really has nowhere to go.

Sheng Jiaojiao silently looked at Lian Xin who was kneeling on the ground with her forehead touching the ground. For a moment, she couldn't bear it.

Indeed, Sheng Jiaojiao still has many ways and means to solve Lianxin's problem, but she is used to doing things without leaving any future troubles. If she wants to save someone, it depends on whether this person is worth saving.

The child Lian Xin is quite distressing, but there are too many distressing children in the world, why is Lian Xin better luck than other children, and was rescued by Sheng Jiaojiao before falling into the quagmire ?
There are more and more things in the Qi family, and Qi Rong can only do the daily work of serving tea and water. Sheng Jiaojiao has long wanted to get a girl to take care of these chores.

For example, she can give Aniang Lianxin a sum of money, so that Aniang Lianxin can give up the idea of ​​selling Lianxin.

She can also ask Lian Xin to come to Qi's house to serve tea and pour water, and give the wages paid to Lian Xin to Lian Xin's mother.

Money is not omnipotent in this world, but money can solve most of the problems of time.

However, Aunt Lianxin is obviously a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles. She would rather let Lianxin fall into the fire pit than let Lianxin enter Qi's house to live a good life.

It's just for such an idea to sell yourself for money!
If the family relationship between Lian Xin and her aunt cannot be cut off, in the future when Lian Xin enters the Qi family, the Qi family will have to be inextricably linked with Lian Xin's aunt.

The Qi family is now making a fortune, and they are most afraid of these unreasonable and chaotic attachments.

So Sheng Jiaojiao clearly let Lian Xin see clearly, let Lian Xin's heart be broken by her aunt, she used this method to force the child to see clearly, how her aunt sold her body for such an idea, how to force She went to the military dormitory.

Sheng Jiaojiao wanted to let Lian Xin know that in this world, apart from the Qi family, which was her shelter, nowhere else was Lian Xin's home.

This is Sheng Jiaojiao's method of employing people, and it is also her way of capturing loyalty.

To tear open the warmth of human nature, let a person see the evil of human nature, and thus serve Sheng Jiaojiao more loyally. This is something that Sheng Jiaojiao has been used to since her previous life.

However, she did the thing, used the means, and entered the Qi family smoothly.

This child is smart, he is still so young now, if he is cultivated from an early age, he will be able to be independent in the future.

But looking at Lian Xin's numb little face, Sheng Jiaojiao's heart felt heavy again.

She remembered that before Lian Xin, she knelt down in the yard of Qi's family seriously, bent over the ground, and wrote with stones, earnest and diligent.

At that time, although Lian Xin had a hard time, her eyes were bright, far less lifeless than it is now.

Sheng Jiaojiao sighed, and the entire room of the Qi family was silent.

Miss Qi was the first to speak. She coughed, moved her blocked throat, and said in distress:
"Forget it, the child has been brought back, so just accept it, our family does not lack a pair of chopsticks for this child, right?"

Said, Miss Qi looked at old lady Qi.

Old Madam Qi sighed and looked at Sheng Jiaojiao again.

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded her head, woke up Lian Xin, and brought her to her face again, saying:
"Now our family has a small business, and there are not many rules. Tomorrow you will follow the fourth young master, and you will do whatever he does."

He raised his hand again, touched Lian Xin's small face, and said gently:

"People, you always have to learn to grow up. If you see clearly one day earlier, you won't have to suffer a little from the world. Lianxin is too bitter, but it can soothe the mind and refresh the mind. It is not useless. On the contrary, it is quite effective. Big, so don’t lose hope in your own life.”

Lian Xin stood straight in front of Sheng Jiaojiao, raised her eyes to look at her, tears finally welled up in her eyes.

She knelt down straight, kowtowed three times to Sheng Jiaojiao, and said with a sob:

"Lianxin remembers, Mr. Xie taught."

Just like that, Lian Xin officially stayed at Qi's house, because the house was limited, she temporarily slept in the bunk with Miss Qi, and on the second day, she followed Qi Rong, called the fourth young master Qi Zhi, and learned how to write and practice swords with the fourth young master. , Bring tea and pour water.

Whatever Qi Rong does, Lian Xin will follow suit.

Because of the limited manpower, in fact, the things that Sheng Jiaojiao arranged for Qi Rong to do were similar to the things that the servants of other families did. There were more and more chores at home. After that, now that Lian Xin has been arranged for him, he is also very happy.

Bringing Lian Xin to and fro every day, he didn't show any pretense as a young master, on the contrary, he got along with Lian Xin like a brother and sister playmate.

He and Lian Xin both had monthly silver, and there was still a lot of it. Although Lian Xin called the Fourth Young Master Qi Rong, the Fourth Young Master received the servant's share of the monthly silver, which was the same as the girl's share of the monthly silver.
