Chixi cooked delicious meals and left tonight with Sister Guihua and the young wife of Wang's family, You Lanmei, to have dinner together. Sister Guihua and the Xi family should be familiar with each other, and they were smiling. Sister You Lanmei was nervously lowered her head and silently stewed her rice, and she rarely even had dishes.

Chi Xi reminded: "Don't just eat, order food."

You Lanmei nodded in panic, lowered her head and said quietly: "Thank you...thank you."

She has always been timid, and her father died at the age of thirteen. Her mother could not raise a few children, so she sent her to the Wang family as her daughter-in-law. Her mother-in-law was mean. Although she was not as good as Su Xiuying, she was also a famous shrew in the village.

She didn't tell her to do anything, but she even beat or scolded her.

She finally got the job given by the Xi family. She spent less time with her mother-in-law and was beaten and scolded a lot less often, but every time she got her wages, she would be scattered by her mother-in-law.

But my mother-in-law was not greedy and insisted on asking her how to hatch chickens, ducks and goose seedlings. If she didn't say it, she would be beaten.

She couldn't bear it and said.

Today... she watched Chen Xiufang be driven to attend the house because she revealed her secret. The Xi family still had a certificate in her hand. If she wanted to pursue the matter, she could send her to the county government to meet the officials at any time.

Except for the vicious people, no ordinary person is not afraid of officials. She is a cowardly little woman who has long been scared to death.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Chi Xi noticed something wrong with You Lanmei and said with concern: "If you are uncomfortable, you will let you rest for two days and you can't resist."

"No, I'm not feeling uncomfortable..."

You Lanmei shook her head in a panic, and tears that could not be controlled fell into the bowl. Sister Guihua asked oh, "Girl, why are you crying? No one beats you or scolds you, why are you crying while having a good meal?"

You Lanmei felt guilty and aggrieved, but more afraid. The bowl in her hand slid on the table. She immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Chi Xi and Tian Cuihe, crying heartbrokenly: "I'm sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it. My mother-in-law insisted that I tell her the trick of hatching eggs. If I don't say it, she will beat me to death. I really can't stand it. Please don't take me to see the official, I know I did something wrong, I...I..."

She cried so hard that she couldn't make any noise, she wanted to beg for forgiveness, but she knew that she had made mistakes first.

Chi Xi's face tensed, she frowned and helped You Lanmei: "What do you have to say? Stand up and say it well, and what should you do on your knees?"

You Lanmei shook her head, tears shining, and she choked and said, "Chixi, I'm sorry for you first. I don't ask you for forgiveness, I just ask you not to send me to the official position. My Haoer is still young and can't be without a mother."

"Get up and say something."

Chi Xi is not used to being kneeling down and wants to pull up You Lanmei, who is collapsed into a pool, but she is not strong enough, and You Lanmei is falling down again, so she can't pull it up at all.

Sister Guihua put the bowls and chopsticks, walked over and grabbed one of Youlan's arm, and pulled the person up without much effort.

She frowned and said angrily: "What's wrong with you? Is their family not good to you? You have a lot of money for a copper coin. Every holiday, I have to give you two kilograms of rice, and sometimes I have a piece of meat for you to take home to eat. Those words were negotiated and written in the voucher. Why did you all have no mouths?"

You Lanmei cried and accused heartbrokenly: "I know I shouldn't say it, but if I don't say it, my mother-in-law will beat me to death!"

She said, rolling up her sleeves and revealing her mottled arms.

New injuries plus old injuries are dense and shocking.

Except for Xi Dazhuang who turned his head in time and did not look at her arm, everyone else took a breath.

You Lanmei never dared to say these words to others, but today she seemed to have found a vent and said in pain: "During this period, because I worked here and earned wages, she beat me a lot less, but she was not greedy and forced me to ask about hatching eggs. If I didn't say it, I would beat me to death. I... I really don't want to die, I am afraid of pain, and I am afraid of death!"

After saying these words, she knew that she had no chance to work in the Xi family.

If she had lost this job and her wages, she would probably have to be beaten a few times. The more she thought about it, the more she became more desperate. If she had not had a son and a daughter who was still young, she would have wanted to jump into the river and forget it, and she would have been killed after her death.

Chi Xi sighed lightly, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, gently wiped her tears, and comforted her in a low voice: "I don't think you did something wrong in this matter. Nothing is important in life. When life is threatened, it is not wrong to make a life-saving choice."

You Lanmei seemed to have auditory hallucinations, looked up at Chi Xi in disbelief, widened her eyes and murmured: "What did you... say?"

"I said, I don't think it's wrong to tell the trick of hatching eggs when you're almost dying."

Chi Xi said seriously: "The one who is wrong is the person who is not greedy and beats and scolds you. You just made the right choice in times of crisis, which is not wrong."

You Lanmei let out a "wow" sound, and suddenly pounced on Chi Xi's arms, hugging her tightly and burst into tears.

Chi Xi patted her back gently.

He waited silently for her to cry enough, and then whispered: "If a person is not independent, no matter how much others say, it will not help you."

You Lanmei raised her red eyes in confusion and looked at Chixi, and asked hoarsely: "Then what should I do?"

"Depending on whether you want to change the status quo."

Chi Xi said seriously: "No matter how fierce your mother-in-law is, you are a young man. Will you let her beat you stupidly? If you can't stand it, Heli is better than being worried about being beaten to death."

"Heli?"

You Lanmei seemed to have heard something amazing, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, my Haoer and Nuannuan are still young, they cannot be without their own mother. Haoer is fine, and they are spoiled at home, but my Nuannuan is only four years old, and she will be sent to her grandmother to wash clothes and sweep the floor. If I leave, how will my Nuannuan live?"

"You work here for us, enough to support you, mother and daughter."

Chi Xi said in a low voice: "Of course, I'm just a suggestion. You decide what to do. If you want to leave that home, I will help you. If you choose to stay, we can't do anything."

You Lanmei asked in tears: "You... are you willing to keep me?"

"I don't think survival is a wrong thing, but it is indeed wrong for you to violate our agreement. I deduct your reward for half a year, do you have no objection?"

Chi Xi said it when she talked to them about wages.

If you do well, you will be rewarded with one penny a day in half a year.

It was nearly two hundred documents in half a year.

You Lanmei nodded quickly and was very grateful: "No, I have no objection, you are willing to keep me, I am very grateful."

She is vivid in her memory of how Chen Xiufang begged for mercy in pain.
