In one sentence, Xiangtao was stunned on the spot as if she was struck by lightning.

Her daddy...

Dead!

After a while, Xiangtao felt that all her physical strength was instantly drained. Her whole body became weak and she fell backwards.

Hua An quickly looked and held her behind, and said anxiously, "Xiangtao, are you okay..."

But Xiangtao only felt dizzy, and Brother Hua'an's worried expression gradually became blurred in front of him, and even the sunlight was not so dazzling.

The call in her ears gradually faded, but she could no longer hear any sound and slowly lost consciousness.

"What?"

The news came to Nie Ling'er, which surprised her: "How could this happen?"

Chuncha also looked extremely ugly and shook his head: "Who knows, Huaan said that the villagers in the village told him that the day after Xiangtao was sold, her father died and was angry to death."
p>

"Xiangtao has been sensible and capable since childhood. His father loves her very much, so after learning that her daughter was sold, and she suffered from a serious illness, she couldn't bear it for a while and then she yelled."

Speaking of this, Chuncha couldn't help but gritted his teeth in resentment and said annoyedly: "There is such an older brother in the world who sold his sister without telling it, but he also concealed the news of his own father's death and kept plundering Xiangtao.

Yueyin, using the excuse of buying medicine for her father."

"Miss, Xiangtao has not left a copper coin for herself in the past six months. It has all supplemented the family of this sarcastic brother. This is really hateful to be the elder brother!"

After hearing this, Nie Ling'er felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly. The experience of Xiang Tao was already pitiful, but she didn't want to be sold and used.

Fortunately, she has been thinking about her father, but her brother has seized this weakness and kept sucking her blood.

"Where is his brother's family? What do you say?" Nie Ling'er asked.

Chuncha said with a more atmosphere: "Don't mention the lady, Huaan said he didn't see his elder brother's family at all. The villagers said that Xiangtao's elder brother's family had moved away long ago, and it's unknown where he moved.

”

"If you do such a conscience, you will definitely be stabbed by the villagers. It is normal that you can't stay there!"

In this way, Nie Ling'er could only sigh softly: "I guess it's still nearby, so I can't be in Huaiyang City, so I can come to find Xiangtao to get silver."

Chuncha nodded quickly: "I guess so, too. The lady gives Xiangtao Yueyin every month, even in Huaiyang, is enough for the family to eat and drink. If her elder brother and sister-in-law have another livelihood of making money, then life will be

It is much more nourishing than in the village.”

"They are treating Xiangtao as a money tree. They use their sold sister to make money to support their family. It's really bad!"

"It's useless to say this now. The money given is basically not back. Besides, such a scoundrel is afraid that it won't be so easy to get rid of in the future."

After saying that, Nie Ling'er asked again: "How is Xiangtao now?"

"Don't mention it, my eyes are almost crying." Chuncha said with heartache: "Hua'an said he fainted on the road, and he fainted all the way. He kept crying when he returned to his house."

"I just went and took a look before I fell asleep. Maybe I was tired of crying, and my eyes were swollen like walnuts."

Hearing this, Nie Ling'er felt heartbroken. None of the sufferings in this world would let her go.

"She will have to face this matter sooner or later. Now she knows it is not a bad thing for her, otherwise she will not know when she will be deceived by her brother." As she said that, Nie Ling'er looked up and ordered Chun

Tea: "Let Xia He take care of Baoer these days, give Xiangtao time to let her slow down."

"Tell Baolai and Fulai, pay more attention to whether there are suspicious men around the house approaching, and try not to let Xiangtao go out by himself."

"If his rogue brother dares to come to the door again, let Baolai and Fulai beat him out."

"Xiangtao is useless and has a weak temperament. I have to make the decision for her in this matter!"

After hearing this, Chuncha finally smiled: "I thanked the lady Xiangtao for her. If you support her, Xiangtao will definitely not suffer any further."

Nie Ling'er also pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

It would be fine if it was family affairs, but Xiangtao's body contract is in her own hands and has nothing to do with his elder brother's family. She would not watch her maid be bullied.

Unexpectedly, Xiangtao got up early the next morning. As usual, she picked up the broom and started cleaning the yard.

Except for a pair of swollen eyes, she was just like before, quietly lowering her head to work.

But it is because of this stubbornness that makes people feel more and more distressed.

Xia He came forward and didn't tease her like she was on weekdays. He spoke gently: "Xiangtao, Miss, please take a few days off. I will help you with the work in the yard these days."

"Sister Xia He, I'm fine, I can work." Xiangtao spoke, his tone as usual.

Xia He was slightly stunned, and his eyes were looking at Chuncha beside him, as if asking her what to do?

Chuncha kept watching from the side and asked, "It's really OK?"

Xiangtao looked up and nodded at Chuncha: "I know everyone is caring about me, but I'm really fine, I'm not showing off."

Hearing her say this, Chuncha had to nod and said, "Okay, but if something goes wrong, you will go back to the house and lie down immediately. Do you understand?"

"Yeah!" Xiangtao nodded and then continued to sweep the floor.

Seeing this, Xia He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and curled his lips, "Okay, worrying about it!"

Seeing that the time was almost over, the masters were about to get up, and Chuncha didn't care about Xiangtao anymore, and told others to go to the yard of each master to take care of the masters' washing and breakfast.

Jiang Ming is still making the breakfast at home. Today he made tomato seafood noodle soup.

Because he knew that Nie Ling'er didn't drink white rice porridge, he had never made it since.

"Well, this time I made it well, the ingredients ratio, the boiling heat and seasoning were just right." After drinking it, Nie Ling'er gave a rare praise.

When Jiang Ming heard this, he couldn't help but grinned happily and hurriedly said, "It's the master who taught me."

"The main thing is that you are willing to work hard." Nie Ling'er put down the spoon, looked up at him, and asked, "You have made a lot of this soup in private, right?"

"It's been dozens of times." Jiang Ming scratched his head embarrassedly, and after saying that, he hurriedly explained: "But Master, don't worry, you don't waste it, you've given it all to Chuncha and the others."

Chuncha also spoke aside: "Yes, I just drank the dumpling soup a few days ago. Xia He complained all day long, saying that he was almost drunk into dough bumps."

Hearing them say this, Nie Ling'er couldn't help laughing, and then praised Jiang Ming: "Practice makes perfect. Although this method is a little clumsy in the improvement of cooking skills, it is indeed the most effective. Keep it up.
