Upon entering the courtyard, Chen Dongyue saw Madam You confronting a woman with high cheekbones and sunken eyes.

There was a little girl who was probably half a head taller than Jun Lan, and she was protecting her behind her.

The man with high cheekbones stretched out his fingers like chicken claws, pointed at Madam You's nose and started spraying, "Well, you are a whore, and you have been taught by a little whore... Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch. "

Chen Dongyue is most annoyed by others calling people names whores. After all, this will bring back those disgraceful memories in her heart that belong to the original owner.

So when she heard the zygomatic woman calling her a whore, Chen Dongyue reflexively snapped her fingers off, "I'm warning you, don't call her a whore in front of me~ How rude!"

If there is any contradiction, let’s just talk about it, right? Don’t be an old prostitute or a prostitute~~”

"Who are you?! Who cares about you~~~Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo[peehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Hingeing wailing in pain as she frantically tried to pull her fingers out of Chen Dongyue's hand.

But it was useless. The more she struggled, the harder Chen Dongyue broke.

The cheekbone woman bared her teeth and continued: "You put my finger down first, and then I talk."

"No," Chen Dongyue flatly refused, "When I caught your finger, I knew that your secret was on your finger.

Once you let go, your scolding mechanism will definitely have to be restarted. Hurry up and tell me what's going on. "

Chen Dongyue was holding the fateful index finger of the zygomatic woman. She really couldn't break free, so she could only explain: "I tied this clothesline in the morning. The rule here is, whoever tied the clothesline is the one who tied it." use.

But this little... child hung their things on my clothesline. Aren't they being unreasonable? "

"Okay, I understand." Chen Dongyue nodded, and then said to the child behind Madam You: "She has finished speaking. Tell me what happened."

"She cut the clothesline in our house first. This is where my mother and I used to hang clothes." The child explained in a low voice.

"Then it's your mother-in-law's fault!" Shui Hua Niang jumped in front of Chen Dongyue and spat at Zhigo Gu Granny, "Why do you have the nerve to embarrass a child? You are so ambitious!"

"But the rules in our yard are ......... Oh, you can return you! I am unlucky, I don't want this rope, this is always possible?"

"Okay," Chen Dongyue smiled at the cheeky woman, but didn't let go, "but the clothes and quilts on the ground were thrown away by you, right? Just pick them up and wash them, and this matter will be over."

But before Mrs. Zygomatic Bones could agree, Madam You patted Chen Dongyue on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself."

In this case, Chen Dongyue no longer 'forced' Zhonggu Po to stay. As soon as her hand relaxed, Zhong Gu Po quickly took out her fingers.

Perhaps because she was still angry, she spat at Chen Dongyue's feet before leaving, then she rushed back to her room and closed the door with a bang.

"Are you sick?! Isn't it disgusting!" Chen Dongyue jumped two steps in disgust and cursed in the direction of Mrs. Zhigogo's room.

"Let's go into the room and talk." Madam You held the clothes and showed an apologetic smile to Chen Dongyue, "She is like this, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. Don't take it to heart."

"Oh, there are such people everywhere, and there are quite a few of them in our village." Shui Hua Niang said as if to rescue Madam You.

After saying that, she looked at Chen Dongyue, as if asking for her approval.

But looking at it, Shui Hua Niang remembered that the person in their village who was the most bully and afraid of the strong was Chen Dongyue, wasn't it? !

Uh... She was a little embarrassed, so she quickly went back and added, "But people change all the time, and no one can tell for sure. Hehehehehe, by the way, shouldn't we go in and chat? Let's go. Come on, let’s go in!!”

Chen Dongyue, who had no idea that she was once a bully, happily followed Mrs. You and the others into the house, carrying a backpack.

......

The furnishings in the couple's house are very simple.

A canopy bed, two wooden boxes, a low table, and four chairs were all the large furniture in the room.

There was a small cupboard on the low table, and two rattan baskets were placed on the top of the cupboard. Next to it were a cutting board and a small kitchen knife that looked like a saw.

In addition, there is a bamboo basket and several embroidered blankets placed on the wooden box.

The curtain on the bed may have turned yellow due to age. Through the curtain, Chen Dongyue saw that there were only two thin quilts on the bed.

"You two sit down wherever you want," Mrs. You greeted Chen Dongyue and Shui Hua Niang slightly awkwardly, "I'm an average cook, but I can make pasta pretty well. If you two don't mind it later, can I bake pancakes for you?"

Caitang, go outside and get some water first. Mom will come to make noodles. You fetch the water and then light the fire in the pottery stove. "

The little girl named Caitang glanced at her mother twice, and then whispered "Oh" in a low voice. She was about to pick up the wooden bucket at the door and go out to fetch water, but was stopped by Chen Dongyue.

"Don't be so troublesome. You still have to make noodles and stuff. Here, I have meat buns." Chen Dongyue took out a small bundle from her backpack and put it on the table.

Then she said to Shui Hua Niang: "Grandma, can you be generous today and reward me with two handfuls of coarse rice? Madam You will bring out a pot, cook porridge in the pot, and put the chopsticks on it to steam steamed buns. Let's do this for dinner later." Let’s have something simple?”

You know, most of the grains Song Bufan and the others bought are now with Shuihua Niang and Chen Dongyue. So let alone two handfuls of coarse grains, they still have even twenty handfuls of coarse grains.

Although Shui Hua Niang was not very willing, what kind of family was she? ! Do you need to eat two kinds of food in one meal? !

Landlords and wealthy people don’t dare to build things like this, right?

But due to Chen Dongyue's kindness, she could only grit her teeth and agree, "Two handfuls of rice, yes, yes, but I'll catch you, so don't do anything."

With a hand as big as Chen Dongyue's, if she grabbed it twice, how could it be repaid? !

"Okay," Chen Dongyue opened the food bag in the backpack and muttered, "Porridge with steamed buns, but unfortunately it's almost pickles."

The little girl carrying the bucket, her eyes lit up, "We have pickles at home. I pickled them two months ago. They are perfect to eat now. I will go to the backyard to get them!!"

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Dongyue to say anything, Caitang ran out with the bucket.

"You kid!!" Madam You shouted at the door, then looked at Chen Dongyue with an embarrassed face, "How about we just have porridge?

This steamed bun... Mrs. Chen should take it back tomorrow for her family to eat.

Now that the weather is cold, everything can be stored without fear of damage. "

"Sir, do you want two handfuls of rice?" Chen Dongyue shook her head crazily, "No, no, no, in the middle of the night, no, not even in the middle of the night, it doesn't take as long as a stick of incense to eat to make you hungry, so what's the use of that! "

"Ms. You, you're welcome~~" Shuihua Niang also said: "Let's just eat and drink with Dongyue without any worries. She won't starve herself or us anyway."

After saying that, she raised her eyebrows at Chen Dongyue and smiled, and Chen Dongyue also raised her eyebrows at Shui Hua Niang.

The friendship between the two was indeed forged over food.

"Then I won't be polite," Madam You sighed softly: "Don't make fun of me, Caitang and I are indeed not living a wealthy life.

It's almost the end of the year, and I'm just waiting for the embroidery workshop to pay me wages before I can buy food to support my children. "

"Ms. You," Chen Dongyue suddenly became serious, "If you want to follow me, can Qiao Niang still give you your wages for last year?"

"I don't know," Mrs. You sighed even louder, "but I have been in the embroidery workshop for so many years, and I know that it is basically impossible to leave the embroidery workshop without paying a price.

Madam Chen, I think you and your aunt are both good people, so I won’t beat around the bush with you.

Nowadays, the business of this embroidery shop is indeed average, so Qiao Niang’s squeeze is even greater than before.

If I really want to leave the embroidery workshop and find another way out, I guess I won’t be able to get this year’s wages next year, and last year’s wages will probably be deducted as well.

I was thinking that if Madam Chen could allow me and Caitang to have enough to eat every day, I would accept those losses if I followed Madam Chen...

After all, you have seen it here, neighbors, shopkeepers, everyone is like this, they will bully when they see weakness.

There are seven or eight families living in our large courtyard. Caitang was bullied just now. Even if her neighbors were at home, they would not go out and ask more questions...

Although this is the way the world is, I thought, maybe I can change my way of living in a different place, right? "

After saying that, Madam You looked out the door, looking somewhat lonely.

"Let's do this," Chen Dongyue also looked out the door and said, "If you are willing to go back to Qingshan Village with us and take up an apprentice, I will guarantee you every day..."

Shui Hua Niang kicked Chen Dongyue's feet at the right time.

"Ahem, I'll give you a lunch. If you want to stay..." She looked at Water Flower Girl.

"It's convenient to live in," Shui Hua Niang immediately answered, "The old mill in our village is empty. This house was originally built with stones, which is better than an adobe house.

If you want to stay, just ask my man to tell the clan leader, and I will take the six sons to make up for the leaks. "

"Oh, I know that house. It's right next to the ancestral hall. There are people living on both sides. It's also very close to the home of my clan's master, so it's quite safe." Chen Dongyue interjected.

Madam You still had some hesitation in her eyes, "Then the rent..."

"What kind of rent do you want? They are all shabby houses." Shui Hua Niang said funnyly: "Houses in the countryside are not valuable at all. I will tear up anyone who dares to ask for rent from you."

Hearing what Shui Hua Niang said, Mrs. You couldn't help but curl her lips and let out a slight smile.

"Now that accommodation is settled, let's talk about remuneration?" Chen Dongyue finally came to the key part.

At this time, Caitang happened to come back with pickles.

Shuihua Niang stood up immediately, pocketed all the rice on the table into her blouse, then picked up the buns and said to Chen Dongyue and Madam You, "Speak slowly, Caitang and I will cook."

After saying that, she stopped Caitang who was about to enter, "Let's go and show Auntie, where are your stove and firewood? By the way, there are also pots, go find Auntie a pot."

Caitang responded with a crisp "Huh" and led Shui Hua Niang to the backyard.
