Chapter 99

Yin Tao made a big meal, which surprised Liu Er: "Sister, you are so good at cooking, the taste is not worse than that of the cooks in our house."

"Then eat more!"

Liu'er burst into tears while eating.

Startled, Yin Tao hurriedly put down her chopsticks and asked, "Oh, what's the matter? Why are you crying inexplicably?"

"I'm so envious of my sister, being able to leave the Feng family and live my own life." Liu Er said sobbing.

"You're fine in the eldest lady's courtyard. Now that Dongmei is gone, no one will bully you."

"What my sister said is that even Zhao's mother only comes in once every three or two days now."

Liu Er wiped her tears and said again: "But, I really want to have a home of my own! Sister, I was sold when I was seven years old. I used to be a fire-fighting girl from another family."

"Later, the family committed a crime, and the whole family left the capital. I was sold to the Feng family again, and I slowly fell into the eyes of the people above and entered the eldest lady's courtyard to work."

"Sister, our lives are not our own. We don't know whether we will live or die tomorrow? Have we been sold again?"

Yin Tao was also silent, how she didn't know, in Feng's family, she was very low-key, and she didn't even leave the courtyard, but disasters still happened one after another, and she was helpless at the time.

Looking around the house, although it is simple, it can be kept warmly. Yin Tao is very comfortable and stable here.

Seeing Liu'er being so wronged and sad, she thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival night. She once thought that Liu'er didn't care about being sold, but it turned out that it was just buried deep in her heart.

She brought a dish to Liu'er and said, "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold, come to me when you're free, and I'll give you a tooth sacrifice!"

Liu'er burst into tears and laughed: "Okay, I have a place to go in Kyoto! Sister, don't think I'm annoying!"

After eating, the two packed up together, and Yin Tao sent Liu Er out.

Called a carriage for her outside, and gave the driver money to send the person to Feng's house.

The car went a long way, and Liu Er held up the curtain and waved to Yin Tao.

When Aunt Qiu saw the person walking away, she called Yin Tao over: "Which girl is this?"

"My former master family, knowing that I am here, specially sent someone to see if I am doing well!"

"Your home is not bad, but no matter how good it is, don't think about going back when you come out." Aunt Qiu said: "We are outside, even if it is a small trader who is despised by everyone, at least we can be free."

"Well, it's natural! I was driven out because of a disaster." Yin Tao was still in a bad mood when she remembered what happened back then.

"If you want me to tell you, it's better to drive you out. Look, what's not good now? Although we don't earn much, we are not stable. People, there are tiles on the top, beds and quilts on the bottom, and clothes when you go out. Covering the body, enough to eat three meals a day, isn't that enough?"

"Aunt Qiu is a transparent person!"

"Haha, I'm just saying it casually, if I can make money every day, I will wake up with a smile when I fall asleep; then I'll buy a big mansion with a few entrances, and raise a group of maids and servants to serve them, and wear them every day. The splurge of gold and silver."

"Hahaha!"

Yin Tao looked at Aunt Qiu not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and the last sadness was gone.
-
The first heavy snow in winter came unexpectedly.

When I woke up in the morning, I saw a dazzling white yard and snowflakes were still floating in the sky.

Yin Tao had rarely seen heavy snowfall, so she stood at the door of the house and stared blankly. She couldn't help reaching out to catch the falling snowflakes. The crystal clear snow fell on the palm of her hand and quickly melted.

But after a while, Yin Tao became cold all over, so she hurriedly went back and put on a cotton-padded coat.

I woke up late today, Ye Xiuwen had already left.

Yin Tao opened the courtyard door and went to the tea stall. She didn't see Aunt Qiu. It seemed that she would not be out of the stall today.

I went to the vegetable market again, and there were only a few people hiding under the eaves selling vegetables.

She suddenly realized that there might be no vegetables to eat in winter. No wonder Aunt Qiu said a few days ago that she should save more vegetables for the winter, but she didn't take it seriously.

At the moment, I couldn't care less, and I bought a lot of vegetables that I could put back.

The snow didn't stop until evening.

In the evening, after Ye Xiuwen came back, Yin Tao told him about it, Ye Xiuwen said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the palace to get it, enough for the two of us to eat."

"The palace is getting food? There are so many people in the palace. If they all go to get it, even the palace can't stand it?"

"Don't worry about this, it's impossible for everyone to get it. Besides, even those big families have a hot spring village outside who is responsible for growing vegetables in winter. How could the palace be short for food?"

"Oh, it really is the rich people who live comfortably! Let's follow the big family!"

After solving the problem of ingredients, Yin Tao let go of half of her heart and said, "Aunt Qiu came to tell me today that she will not be doing business this year. She is going to make winter clothes for her family."

"Then you should rest as well, the weather will get colder and colder, and your business may not have enough money for charcoal to set up a stall outside for a day. You can just burn charcoal fire at home, you don't need to save, I will find someone to pull a cart of charcoal back tomorrow. If you are cold and sick, you will lose more than you gain.”

"Well, with charcoal, I won't save it!"
