Chapter 9
"Father, Xiao Zhuzi, eat quickly, it will get cold later." Bai Jingwen sat down and began to eat happily.

"Zhuzi, sit down and eat." Bai Yeye said, staring at the small pillar at the dining table.

After Xiao Zhang's mother and son came out, they saw Ye San sitting and eating happily, and Jiang Xiaocheng was dragged back when he wanted to go over.When the mother and son passed by Bai Jingwen, she made a wrong step and blocked the way of the three of them.

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Zhang said protecting the two children.

"If you hand over the things, you will naturally let you go. Otherwise, you will take everything away without worrying about it. Where can we find someone to justify it?" Bai Jingwen took out a purse from Zhang's chest. There are silver and title deeds.

"Are you spying on me?" Xiao Zhang screamed.

"No need, whoever hides things is just those few places and your chest is much flatter than before, so people doubt that you said no. You can go now, walk slowly and don't give away." Bai Jingwen looked at the purse and threw it to Bai Yeye Said.

"Xiao Zhang, I didn't realize that your heart is so cruel. You want to cut off my life." Bai Shuye said incredulously when he saw the things in his purse.

"Master, please forgive me, I know I'm wrong." Seeing that something was in Bai Yeye's hand, Mrs. Zhang immediately put up a little white flower and begged, crying.

"Let's go, you go back to your mother's house for a few days, let me think about it." Bai Shuye said and threw the purse to Bai Jingwen.

"Father, what do you mean by that?" Bai Jingwen said.

"You take it, I have never managed the money and I can't." After Bai Shuye finished speaking, he sat down and began to eat.

Mrs. Zhang got bored and went to the table to grab three steamed buns and took the two children out of the gate.

"Hey, back to my mother's house again, that is, the brothers of the Bai family are kind-hearted. It seems like we can go back once a year." Aunt Wang said when she happened to pass by Zhang when she went up the mountain.

Xiao Zhang glared at her viciously and left without looking back.

"Father, since you have already agreed, send the money to uncle," Bai Jingwen said to him, taking out five hundred coins.

"Okay," Bai Shuye looked at the little money left in his purse with anxiety on his face.

"Don't think too much, God won't starve me to death." Bai Jingwen comforted.

After Bai Shuye left, Bai Jingwen began to wash the pot, and Xiao Zhuzi went to feed the chickens in the backyard.

"Xiao Zhuzi, where are you going?" Bai Jingwen yelled when she saw him walking out with a basin of dirty clothes.

"Sister, yesterday I made an agreement with brother Xiaodouzi, today I will go up the mountain to see if there are any peaches." Xiao Zhuzi replied.

"Go, be careful when going up the mountain." After Bai Jingwen said, she locked the door and went to the stream not far away to wash clothes.

The creek is formed by the collection of clear water flowing down from the mountain. The narrowest part is only one meter, but it is more than two meters deep. Some freshwater fish live in it. The widest part is about five meters, but the stream only reaches the knee. Clothes, a good place for children to go into the water to catch fish and shrimp.

"Sister Xiaowen, it's really you. I didn't believe what they said yesterday? Why don't you leave this time?" A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl came to her side with a basin of clothes and asked.

"It's Wenxiu, I'm here to redeem myself and I won't leave. I haven't seen you in the past few years and I've grown into a girl. I don't dare to recognize her when I meet outside." Bai Jingwen turned her head and took a few serious glances before she recognized this person. It is the second granddaughter of the village chief's family.

"That's great. When I was young, you often took me up the mountain. I'll go play with you later." Li Wenxiu said.

"Good to say."

"Xiaowen, I heard that the maids of rich families eat and dress better than us. Why don't you give up and come back?" A woman in her 30s gossips while beating on her clothes. asked.

In order to dispel the suspicion of the villagers, Bai Jingwen shouted loudly: "You are the second sister-in-law Li, you are really right, the maids of rich families are really good in food and clothing. But you also need to meet a good master, otherwise you will beat and scold me." Some are dead and some don't even have a mat.

This time, I was the young master of the master's family who was ill, and I happened to let me take care of him. When the master asked me what reward I wanted, I proposed to go home and then allowed me to redeem myself. "

"What Xiaowen said is true. The last time I went to the town to go to the market, I saw a young lady who was beaten up just because the little maid said something wrong. That's really inappropriate."

"If being a servant girl is really so long ago, I would have been a servant girl."

"Then Xiaowen, since your master's family is good, why don't you continue to stay, why come back? It's really sad to face the loess and the north every day."

"One is because I don't want to live a life that I can't help myself, and the other is because my mother is gone and I am worried about my two younger brothers."

Bai Jingwen returned home to dry her clothes in the sun and looked at it early, so she went up the mountain with a basket on her back to find some firewood, otherwise it would rain heavily for several days and the house would not even be able to start a fire.

At the foot of the mountain, I began to look for valuable medicinal materials and edible mushrooms, while collecting firewood.Not far away, I saw Xiao Zhuzi and a few children picking peaches that had just shone red under a peach tree.

"Little Zhuzi, are these peaches still green and edible?" Bai Jingwen walked over and asked.

"Sister, try it, although it's not as delicious as the one you brought back, it's quite sweet," Xiao Zhuzi replied.

"You can eat as long as you can, then be careful and remember to go home early, I will go over there to pick up some firewood and go back."

Bai Jingwen picked up a lot of firewood but did not find any valuable medicinal materials. It seems that she can only walk in the depths when she has time.I tied the firewood with a rope and was about to carry it on my back. When I heard the sound of "clacking" in the distance, I knew that a chicken had laid an egg.

I checked with my mental strength and found that it was not far away.There is a pheasant nest in the bushes and two pheasants are laying eggs.Bai Jingwen put the firewood into the space and walked over quietly.

After arriving, it turned out that there was only one left, but Bai Jingwen smiled with satisfaction because it was quite fat and big.After a mental force needle passed, the pheasant began to jump up on the spot, took two quick steps to hold it down, tied it with the grass on the side, and picked it upside down.

Then he took a serious look at the dozens of wild eggs in the nest, checked his mental strength and found that they were all fresh eggs laid in the past few days, so he saved one and received it in the space.Then he took the chicken and walked down the mountain.
