Hu Xi'er was slightly stunned, "What fast money?"
She knew stealing was the quickest way to make money, but she wouldn't steal...
Stealing people was fine.
Liu Cuirong tugged at her sleeve and pointed to a pavilion at the end of the street, "Do you see that building?"
Hu Xi'er glanced over and said nothing.
"That's the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, do you know what it's for?" Liu Cuirong asked again.
As soon as Hu Xi'er heard the name, she knew it wasn't a good place...
She immediately broke free from Liu Cuirong's hand, narrowed her eyes, "You want me to sell myself? Why don't you go?"
Liu Cuirong blinked, "Don't you need money? That stuff makes money fast. Once you save enough, you can leave the county town, change your name, and find a man to marry in the countryside. This is the best way out. Otherwise, you and Huaihua just wandering around the county town all day, this isn't a solution..."
Liu Cuirong seemed to be thinking of her, but in reality, she just wanted Hu Xi'er to become a prostitute.
If a maid from the Yun family went to a brothel, wouldn't her reputation be ruined?
Hu Xi'er felt a surge of anger, "If you want to sell, go sell yourself. I'll keep myself clean. Even if I beg for food on the street, I won't be a prostitute..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're so stubborn!~"
Liu Cuirong gave her a sideways glance, crossed her arms, and pouted, "I heard you're messing around with wild men outside, as long as they give you money, it's fine. You don't care if they're ugly or fat or thin. A piece of silver can get you into a cornfield. What's the difference between you and a prostitute?"
"Hmph, at least they have a bed. You, on the other hand, crawl into a cornfield and aren't afraid of getting pricked in the butt!~"
Hu Xi'er: "..."
Was this human talk?
"I must have been blind to come looking for you. Disgusting!" Hu Xi'er spat, and then left in a huff.
Why didn't a scoundrel like this get struck by lightning and killed with a 'crack'?
Liu Cui Jin stood by the door and eavesdropped for a while, then sneered, "Hmph, dogs biting dogs, all covered in fur!~"
Neither of them was any good...
Hu Xi'er returned to the small courtyard and saw Jin Huaihua chopping firewood, which made her feel even more depressed.
She only knew how to work, work, work, with no ambition at all.
She even felt that Jin Huaihua was dragging her down. If only she could get rid of her.
The travel expenses given by Madam Gu were almost spent. If they couldn't find work, they would really have to beg for food...
Hu Xi'er sat on the kang for a while, but still wanted to go to the Dark Fragrance Pavilion to take a look.
She washed her face, put on some rouge, outlined her eyebrows with charcoal residue, and then went to the Dark Fragrance Pavilion.
At the same time, the old Yun family.
"Oh, it's so chilly this morning. I see frost on the corn leaves!~"
Old Man Yun got up early and cut two bundles of corn stalks from the field to burn as firewood...
Madam Gu stepped forward and patted the grass leaves on his shoulder, "Are we harvesting wheat today?"
"We need to hurry up and harvest the wheat. I see Du Laosan's family is already in the fields before dawn!" Old Man Yun walked to the washbasin to wash his hands and glanced towards the guest room, "Has that young lady woken up yet?"
Xiao Xi Tian had eaten too much last night and drank a pot of tea. In the latter half of the night, her stomach started to bloat and she kept burping...
Nanny Gao and the others were anxious, but there was no doctor in Dashui Village. They had planned to go to the county town to invite a doctor, but who knew that Xiao Xi Tian had cured her with just one dose of Imodium.
It was just indigestion, but she made the whole family unable to sleep.
"She's not awake yet. I think she won't be able to go out today!~" Madam Gu said with a smile.
Old Man Yun wiped his hands and looked puzzled, "Why don't these rich young ladies stay at home honestly? Why do they keep running out..."
They should read books and do embroidery when they have nothing to do, but they insist on coming to the countryside.
"A proper young lady doesn't leave her home. When guests come, she shouldn't show her face. She must wear a veil when she goes out, and she cannot talk to strange men!" Madam Gu said as she walked towards her daughter's room, "But people from the palace are different!~"
Although the palace rules were strict, once they left the palace, wouldn't they go wild and have fun...
Old Man Yun followed behind, stunned for a moment, "Old woman, are you saying that young lady is from the palace?"
Madam Gu smiled faintly and did not answer.
She pushed open her daughter's room door, picked up the sleepy Xiao Xi Tian, "My dear daughter, it's time for breakfast!~"
"Mmm! Peanuts, potatoes..." Xiao Xi Tian opened her big eyes, hooked her arms around Madam Gu's neck, "Mommy, the peanuts and potatoes are ripe, we can harvest them now!~"
Madam Gu: "???"
Old Man Yun: "???"
What peanuts and potatoes? They had never heard of them!
"Mommy, peanuts can be stir-fried, sprinkled with salt or sugar, and then they can be served with wine for Daddy and my brothers..."
"And potatoes can be stir-fried into potato chips, made into potato paste with green onions, or stewed with fish and beans. They're very appetizing!~"
Xiao Xi Tian said a lot, her bright big eyes blinked, and Madam Gu was almost enchanted.
"Is daughter talking about the things planted in the fields?" Madam Gu kissed her, "After breakfast, Mommy will go with you to harvest the peanuts and potatoes, okay?"
"Mmm, Mommy is the best..." Xiao Xi Tian's eyes curved, and a small dimple appeared on her chubby face.
She had a dream about potatoes and peanuts last night.
Thinking of the fragrant roasted potatoes, she couldn't help but drool.
At the dining table.
Du Tie Shan ate millet porridge, washed the dandelion sent by Sister Su Zhen yesterday, fried it with chili sauce, stewed a pot of cabbage and tofu, and steamed a curtain of flower rolls. Breakfast began...
"Feng Juan, why are you just lazing around here every day?" Yun San Man said while eating a flower roll, glaring at her, "Don't you need to mind the family's shop? If you only rely on that shop assistant, you won't know if anything is lost!"
Gao Feng Juan snorted after hearing this, "You're not home every day, and you expect me to manage everything. I can't handle it!~"
"I'm helping the family with the autumn harvest, can't you be more understanding?" Yun San Man ate half a flower roll and drank some tofu soup, "What if we get divorced someday, and you can't even run the shop..."
"No, Yun Laosan, have you been wanting to kick me away for a long time? You keep mentioning divorce, who are you looking down on?" Gao Feng Juan put down her chopsticks, stood up with her hands on her hips.
She didn't like millet porridge and stewed cabbage and tofu anyway, so she didn't plan to eat breakfast.
Yun San Man frowned, "If you keep making such a fuss, believe it or not, I'll write a letter of divorce right now?"
What is this?
You can't even say anything. This guy, he helps the family with work for a few days, and she's always looking at him like this...
"Write it, write it! You damned scoundrel, if you don't write it, you're not surnamed Yun!~" Gao Feng Juan shouted and yelled, annoying Xiao Xi Tian.
Third sister-in-law is so troublesome, she might end up like second sister-in-law!
"Wasteful thing!" Yun San Man cursed.
He pushed Gao Feng Juan aside, rushed to the table by the door, picked up paper and pen, and wrote the words 'Letter of Divorce'...
