Chapter 24 24 [-]. Tormented one after another

Zheng Yuanxin's daughter-in-law muttered: "Tian Erya said that if she learns a craft well, she will never have to worry about food for the rest of her life. Your elder brother and I have advised her not to work in blacksmithing. It's too tiring, too hard and too dirty, but she didn't listen, and neither did we." Method."

Zheng Yuansheng picked up a piece of amber walnut and put it in his mouth: "Tian Erya is quite stubborn. Can she forge iron?"

"Yes. I heard from your elder brother that the scissors she made are not bad. However, the second uncle criticized the scissors she made as garbage, so she turned around and threw the scissors into the furnace. Tell me, how stubborn you are."

Zheng Yuansheng chewed walnuts without saying a word.

Zheng Yuanxin's daughter-in-law stood up: "Okay, Yuan Sheng, study hard, sister-in-law won't waste your time."

"Sister-in-law, go slowly." Zheng Yuansheng sent his sister-in-law out, glanced in the direction of Wutong Garden, walked back to the study, and closed the door.

After a while, his book boy Xia Tian came in covering his mouth.

Zheng Yuansheng looked up: "What are you laughing at?"

"Fourth young master, it's so funny. That Tian Erya read 'I'm stupid' in the room, making the servants in the courtyard laugh. Do you think there is something wrong with her?"

Zheng Yuansheng frowned: "When did it happen?"

Xia Tian was in high spirits: "It was just now. Xiao Man passed by her room, heard her saying this, and called everyone over. As expected, Tian Erya kept telling the paper that she was an idiot."

"Call yourself an idiot to paper?"

"Yes, she still took the paper to the gate of the yard, calling me Wutongyuan idiot. It's ridiculous."

Zheng Yuansheng thought for a while, understood, and smiled lightly.

Summer poured tea for him: "Fourth young master, do you also think he is ridiculous?"

"Yeah." He knew in his heart that Tian Erya was learning how to read. The day before yesterday she took a note that said 'I owe you ten taels of silver' and signed it as 'Idiot'. She went to ask for the account and was ridiculed by everyone. Character.Today he imitated him to read Wutongyuan again. This girl had done heavy work for a day, her hand was injured, and she insisted on reading, which was different from the girls he knew.

Early the next morning.

Zheng Yuanxin's daughter-in-law thought that Tian Erya was burned yesterday, so she would definitely not go to the iron yard today, but when she was eating in the morning, she heard the servant girl report that Tian Erya was waiting outside the door.She walked over Shi Shiran: "Tian Erya, what do you want from me?"

"Eldest young mistress, I'm afraid that if I go to the iron yard alone, I won't be able to enter the gate, so I'm waiting for your order."

Zheng Yuanxin's daughter-in-law looked at the burnt area on the back of her hand: "Your hand is so injured, you still want to go?"

Tian Erya smiled: "I've taken the medicine, I'm fine."

"Go and clean the nine large water tanks and fill me with water?"

"Yes."

"You girl really didn't look back when you bumped into the south wall. I'll tell the guards in the iron courtyard. From now on, you can come and go freely, and you don't need to report to me again."

Tian Erya was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Elder Young Mistress."

Zheng Yuanxin's daughter-in-law was speechless looking at her.

In the iron courtyard.

Zheng Yide got up early in the morning to play with scissors. He used to start forging scissors at this point every day, but now he suddenly stopped doing it, and he was not used to it.He was thinking about hearing the sound of the door, when he saw Tian Erya coming in from the corner of his eye, and covered the scissors with an oilcloth.

Tian Erya saw him stepping forward to salute quickly: "Second Lord, be well."

"Well, the injury on the back of the hand hasn't healed yet, why are you in a hurry to work again? You can go back and rest for a few days, and save others from saying that our Zheng family is mean and ungrateful."

"My injury is fine, I can continue to work." Tian Erya said, looking for a basin to clear the water out of the tank.

The women pulling the bellows stood aside and looked at her. In the past, these were their jobs, but now Tian Erya took over the work, which made them feel a lot easier.

Seeing them standing still, Zheng Yide picked up his whip and whipped them over: "I don't know what to do to find a job? The iron yard doesn't support idlers."

Those people screamed after being beaten, and hurriedly swept the yard and wiped the iron stove, and they were busy.

Tian Erya avoided the wound on the back of her hand from getting infected, and her work speed was much slower than yesterday, and she didn't clean out the five water tanks until noon.

Zheng Yide took a piece of scrap iron and threw it over: "You work too slowly, and I will punish you for not eating at noon."

The piece of scrap iron fell into the water tank, splashing water spots all over Tian Erya's face. She wiped her face, and just cleaned the half-filled water tank, because there was more iron slag from the scrap iron, she had to scrub it again, she was angrily He glared at Zheng Yide.

Zheng Yide squinted at her: "If you don't want to do it, you can get out of the iron yard, no one is stopping you."

"I do."

"There is no meal at noon."

Tian Erya really wanted to give him two slaps, and thought of observing his scissor-making skills, she could only endure it: "Yes."

Seeing her angry and helpless look, Zheng Yide laughed happily.

At lunch time, Tian Erya leaned against the wall, watched others eat their food, touched their hungry bellies, closed their eyes, and advised himself to keep out of sight and out of mind.Suddenly, she felt covered by something, and countless fists and feet landed on her body. She struggled desperately, and after countless punches and kicks, she shook off the thing covering her head, and found that it was a sack covering her head , and no one around.

Zheng Yide drank some wine, admiring Tian Erya, whose nose was bruised and face swollen after being beaten.

Tian Erya looked angrily at those blacksmiths and women, they were sitting not far from her as if nothing had happened, and they didn't respond to her gaze.

On this day, Tian Erya had a miserable life, even if she was hungry and beaten.While he was carrying water, someone kicked her in the hollow of her knee, and she fell to the ground, pouring a bucket of water all over her body.He got up and looked around, and the people around passed him and her with expressionless faces and unwavering eyes. She could only admit that she was unlucky, and continued to carry water.

Zheng Yide announced that work was over, and planned to punish Tian Erya for not filling the nine water tanks with water. Unexpectedly, when he issued the order, Tian Erya just filled the ninth water tank, so he had to give up.

Tian Erya dragged her exhausted and aching body out of the blacksmith yard, but when she was about to go out, she tripped again and fell to the door.She glanced at the guard, slowly got up, and moved forward step by step.

Her body was covered in muddy water and her face was bruised and swollen. Soon, the servants of Zheng's family came to watch. They pointed around her and followed her to Wutong Garden.

Zheng Yuansheng, brothers Zheng Yuanxin, Zheng Yuanli, and Zheng Yuanfei were heading to the restaurant. They saw people chattering around and followed suit.

Zheng Yuanxin was startled when he saw Tian Erya's miserable state: "How did this happen? Who beat you?"

"I accidentally fell." Tian Erya was embarrassed by her embarrassed appearance, glanced at them, and quickly lowered her head.

The third son, Zheng Yuanfei, yelled: "Why did you accidentally fall? It looks like someone beat you up. If you dare to behave wildly in the Zheng family, you should end up like this."

Tian Erya pretended not to hear, and walked forward.

Zheng Yuansheng looked at her from behind the crowd without saying a word.

Zheng Yuanli rubbed his arm: "Is the blacksmith a place for normal people to stay? But if he said a word there, the second uncle was upset, so the second uncle gave him a warning and started to tidy up people. As a newcomer, Tian Erya just entered Datieyuan contradicts Second Uncle, it will be enough for her in the future."
