Chapter 315 Qin Huairu 1
Even if Qin's mother doesn't want to see her daughter anymore, she can't just let her become someone else's little girl. She will be stabbed in the back by others. Although their family is poor, they haven't sold their sons and daughters yet.
"Mom, I didn't ask you to sell your son or daughter. Didn't we have a relative who heard that he was working as a servant in a police station's house? Why don't you introduce me to it? I won't be able to give you much monthly money, but At least I can take care of my food and lighten my burden at home.”
Qin's mother looked at her daughter, thinking that the harvest at home has been getting worse and worse recently, and the most important thing is that the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are increasing. The family is really going to have a northwest wind. If her daughter really goes to be a little girl in someone else's house, That can really save some rations.
"Let me think about it..." Mother Qin. He hesitated for a while, but couldn't resist Linlang's persuasion. Finally, he took the bacon that the family was reluctant to eat during the New Year and asked the distant relative to introduce him to a job for his daughter.
"I don't ask for much money, just give me food to eat. Besides, my girl looks small, but she is very quick at work. Maybe it can help you reduce a lot of burden." Qin's mother said shamelessly, "If it weren't for the family, I can’t live any longer, and I don’t want to send my daughter to serve others. Just do it, and for the sake of seeing your relatives, please help me.”
A distant relative asked Sister Wang to look at Linlang, who looked thin, and sighed, "Forget it, the kitchen is short of a few helpers anyway, so you can come in and help, but you have to be more obedient and work more quickly. ”
Linlang nodded obediently and followed Sister Wang to meet Sister Liu in the kitchen. The other party looked her up and down and found that she was also a poor girl. She thought that it didn't matter if there was one more person. Anyway, she just treated her as a meal. Eat, and keep people here without paying.
"You have to watch this person carefully and don't let him hit the young master and grandma in front of him, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." Sister Liu said with caution.
Sister Wang nodded quickly and took Linlang to the servant's room next to her. In fact, five or six people were crowded into a small house. Every time they went to the toilet, they had to poop in the spittoon. It was particularly inconvenient. Since Linlang had just come in, So the job of getting to the spittoon fell on me.
Linlang was quick with her hands and feet, worked diligently, had a particularly sharp eye, and spoke pleasantly. She gradually gained the favor of everyone in the kitchen, and even got some extra things every time.
Although I don’t get paid for working by myself, I can at least have a good time from time to time, and I can even get some happiness from it.
"Today is the beginning of winter. Those aunts want to eat mutton, so my family bought two sheep.
Although we can't afford the best mutton, those mutton bones will not be wasted. They will make a pot of mutton soup for us and add some haggis. My dear, it is so delicious. "Sister Wang's mouth was almost drooling when she said this. It is said that their life is much better than that of poor families. At least they can have enough food and clothing in the house, and these aunts are also easier to take care of.
< br>
The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, so the mansion made a few clothes for each of the servants below, including Linlang. The two pieces are two pieces of winter clothing, and they are very thick. Although the style is older, they are very warm when worn.
Thinking that my family was so poor that they were going to die from the northwest wind, and there were two younger brothers who were so poor that they had no pants to wear, I hesitated for a while and wanted to ask Sister Wang for two days' leave to go back to visit relatives.
"That's right. You've been out working for a month or two. It's time to go back and have a look. But the road is not smooth. Otherwise, why don't you send a message to your family and ask them to come and see you."
The main reason is that there is chaos outside. Although the security inside the city is better, once you leave the city, it is a mess outside, and there are even some kidnappers. Although this girl is young, she has been well-raised recently, and she looks a little meaty. At first glance, she looks like a good girl.
Linlang brought a message to the fellow villagers asking them to come to the city to see him. At the same time, he also took out the money he had saved, and asked someone to buy some cloth and cotton, plus a piece of ocean he had saved during this period.
After Sister Liu learned that her relatives were coming to visit her, she specially gave herself two pieces of bacon and a piece of bacon that no one wanted. "The food is edible, but this duck has been there for two or three years. It probably fell into a corner and was forgotten. You can take it back and let your parents eat meat." Nowadays, young people are not good and poor people can't even afford meat. , although my family still has a few acres of land, they can only make ends meet.
Linlang smiled and said thank you twice, but her parents brought bad news. The reason was that her father accidentally fell into the river when he went out to work some time ago, and then contracted the cold and still has a high fever.
"My family has already sold two acres of land. If this continues, I will probably have to sell all the land.
I heard someone say that there is a foreign product called aspirin that is very effective in reducing fever, but it is very expensive and costs dozens of dollars.
Ni, now we can only count on you at home. You must work hard here. If your father is really gone, our mother and I will have no hope. ”
After all, he was his biological father. Linlang always had trouble doing things and rolled his eyes. "Mom, although I don't know what aspirin is, I also had a fever when I was working. An eldest sister gave me some medicine. , or you can take it back to dad to try it, maybe it will be useful.”
Naturally, Linlang didn't dare to blatantly take out anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-pyretics. The anti-inflammatory drugs at this time were simply magic medicine, and the price was terrifyingly high. I heard that they could be sold for the price of gold on the black market.
Linlang went to her room, took out a few pills, then hollowed out the middle, stuffed the antipyretic and anti-inflammatory medicine inside, trying not to be seen, and finally handed the bottle of medicine to Qin's mother.
"Mom, this is what I have saved up with great effort. Don't be reluctant to take it back and cook it for your brothers. Although I still have no wages, the eldest sisters in the kitchen are very good to me, and there are often some in the house. I’m living a pretty good life with the reward, so don’t waste it.”
Qin's mother looked at the good things her daughter had accumulated and shed tears. "It seems that I did the right thing by sending you here. You can work hard here and save some money when you get older." , Mom will take you back and find you a good husband.”
Linlang smiled awkwardly, said nothing, and sent Qin's mother away. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart and continued to do her work.
Because she had accumulated some good personnel, Linlang also inquired about some information. However, she was still just an ordinary person and had no way to connect with them, so she could only take her time.
"Xingfang, who is serving the third concubine, said that she went back to get married when she was old. Now there is no one to serve the third concubine. She said that if she wants a little girl, she should be more sensible.
Sister Liu doesn't want you to stay in the kitchen all the time. Although it's nice here, you can make more money by being around the third aunt.
There is a problem in your family now, so they pushed you up. You must gain some strength, but you must not embarrass us. ”
Linlang's eyes lit up when she heard this. The third aunt was the most favored person in the house and should know a lot of inside information about the police chief, so she immediately agreed obediently.
