Several men tied her up and carried her away. No matter how hard she struggled, it was useless. This was the price she paid for abandoning her mother at all costs.
After handling these matters, Fu Yuan quickly returned to the cave. Ji Mingxuan was sitting by the fire, carefully carving a wooden figure.
Fu Yuan had followed Ji Mingxuan for many years. He knew that his master liked to carve wood when he was in a good mood, and this time he was actually carving people.
He glanced quietly, and if he saw correctly, it should be Miss Zhao.
It seems that the master is serious this time.
He has been with his master for many years, and he has never seen his master care so much for a woman.
Is it just because Miss Zhao saved him?
no.
Fu Yuan thought to himself that the master is not that kind of person. There are many ways to thank people. It is impossible for the master to make fun of his marriage.
There must be something good about Miss Zhao that is worthy of the master's heart!
In this case, when I officially get to know Miss Zhao, I must behave better and not leave a bad impression on my future mistress.
The next day, Zhao Huanyu got up early in the morning to clean up Li Xiaohua's room. This was the original owner's room, but it was later occupied by Li Xiaohua.
The family is not rich, and there are not many things in the room. However, Li Xiaohua loves beauty and has a small bronze mirror.
Zhao Huanyu gathered up all her bedding and other things, threw them in the yard and burned them. Zhao Dafu looked at it and felt it was a pity. After all, the things Li Xiaohua used were pretty good, so it would be a waste to burn them like this.
But he didn't say anything, he just watched silently, and even took the initiative to help clean up the ashes after the burning. He used a cane to carry the ashes wrapped in lotus leaves to the fields, where they could be used as fertilizer.
After clearing out the room, Zhao Huanyu went to town to buy new quilts and ornaments for herself. The new quilts she bought before were left to her cousins, and she wanted to buy more this time.
She couldn't bring it back by herself, so she decided to rent an ox cart.
Today there was an ox cart going to the town in the village, so Zhao Huanyu went to ride on it.
A big event happened in the Zhao family yesterday. Everyone started talking before Zhao Huanyu came. When they saw her getting into the car, they started talking even louder.
"Xiaoyu, since the Liu family has been abandoned, your good days are about to come!"
"Yes, you two siblings have had a hard time living under that woman these past years!"
"It's really unlucky. You said that Xiaoyu's father is a very honest man. How come he met such a shameless bitch? He is really unlucky for eight lifetimes!"
"Is your dad's leg serious? Can he still work in the future? If it's not serious, that's fine, but if it is serious, it will be a hard life!"
"What a sin. I went out without making any money and hurt my leg. Xiaoyu's father has been really unlucky in the past two years!"
…
Most of the aunts in the village are more concerned about Zhao Huanyu's family, and most of their bad words are directed towards the Liu family.
The main reason is that Mrs. Liu doesn't know how to behave, and her relationship with everyone in the village is not very good. In addition, she has been blindly supporting her parents' family, and is looked down upon by others. Naturally, no one can speak for her.
"Thank you for your concern, aunties. I will definitely work hard to earn money to treat my father's leg."
She looked at everyone in the car with a smile, making people think she was more sensible.
When they arrived at the town, everyone got off the car and left. Zhao Huanyu said to Wan Zhu who was driving the cattle cart: "Uncle Wan Zhu, how much does it cost to rent your car?"
Wan Zhu didn't expect that a little girl like her wanted to rent a car. Instead of answering directly, she asked: "What do you want to do?"
"I don't have anything at home. I want to buy some more things. I may buy too many things and I won't be able to take them back."
Zhao Huanyu answered honestly, and Wan Zhu asked again: "Do you need me to wait here, or do you need me to follow you to collect goods?"
"If it's convenient, could you please Uncle Wanzhu to come with me."
Wan Zhu nodded to express understanding: "Then ten cents."
It only costs eight cents to stand there and wait, but if he wants to pull the bullock cart to follow him, he will have to pay more. After all, there are many people on the street and it will be troublesome to pull the bullock cart in.
Zhao Huanyu readily agreed, and together with the penny she had just paid for the car ride, she gave Wan Zhu eleven pence in total.
The two of them went into the city together.
Now that the mother and daughter are no longer at home, she has no worries and feels much more comfortable buying things.
I bought a quilt and a pillow for each of the father and son, as well as some rice, flour, food, and some condiments.
This time there was an ox cart, so she bought a larger quantity.
Wan Zhu was holding the bullock cart and waiting outside the shop. He could not help but widen his eyes as he watched the boy inside carrying large and small bags to his cart.
How can this little girl have so much money to buy these things?
No wonder Liu and her daughter wanted to steal her money before!
Fortunately, Wan Zhu was not the kind of person to do anything nice, so he helped load the things into the car and then rushed back to the car.
On the way, I inevitably met the villagers who had just arrived in the town by car. When they saw her buying a cart of goods, their eyes widened.
"With so many things put away, we won't have anywhere to sit down later!"
Some people couldn't help but clicked their tongues, and Wan Zhu said: "Xiaoyu has chartered a car, you can walk back by yourself later!"
As he spoke, he raised the whip in his hand and the cow walked faster.
What Zhao Huanyu didn't notice was that after she left in the car, several people followed her furtively.
Zhao Huanyu did not go home directly with Wan Zhu, but got off the car on the mountain road on the way. She put her small backpack on her back and said to Wan Zhu: "Uncle Wan Zhu, please help me take all my things home."
, my dad is at home, I’ll go to the mountains to try my luck while it’s still early.”
Wan Zhu was impressed when he saw that she was not merciless in spending money. He was even more impressed when he saw her taking her time and climbing up the mountain alone. From morning to now, this little girl has not eaten anything, and now she is going up the mountain again.
Already.
Based on this alone, many men in the village cannot match him.
Don't blame her for making money as a little girl.
Thinking of this, the smile on Wan Zhu's face became more genuine: "Hey, I understand, you go back early and pay attention to safety!"
Wan Zhu waved his hand and drove the bullock cart away.
Zhao Huanyu watched Wan Zhu leave, quietly filled the backpack half full, and walked up the mountain with a relaxed pace.
The people following behind her had no idea that her empty basket was already half full, and they were all excited about her sudden descent.
"This is really a gift from God. I was thinking about hijacking the bullock cart too, but I didn't expect this little girl to get out of the car by herself and go up the mountain alone!"
The leading man was gearing up and felt that he was really lucky!
"Yeah, I'm still thinking about whether to make that cow go crazy, but it seems there's no need! Boss, let's follow quickly and don't let that little girl run away!"
The two of them ran forward quickly, and several others followed suit. Don't miss this good thing!
