Chapter 360 2 Ya, your father and I are running out of food.
Chapter 360 Erya, your father and I are running out of food!
Hearing these women shouting, everyone's eyes immediately glanced at Xue Cha. Xue Cha sighed inwardly, she knew it!
Several people asked her questions, and soon Mrs. Liu and Li Dajiang came over. As soon as Mrs. Liu saw her, she rushed over, hugged her and cried!
Li Dajiang's eyes were slightly red when he saw his daughter at this time.
"Erya, I thought I would never see you again!"
"Why are you here?" Ms. Liu finished crying and looked at her daughter carefully. The Erya at this time was very different from the Erya before. Although she was good-looking before, it was only limited to their Huangpo Village, and her face was also beautiful. I have no meat and my complexion is yellow.
Now Erya has a fair and tender face, rosy inside, and rosy lips. Looking at what she is wearing, she can see that it is fine silk and satin, with fur on her sleeves and collar.
The dress looks great!
If the steward of the foreign master sees Erya now, he should immediately carry her away in eight sedans! How can I dislike it!
Mrs. Liu thought so and naturally held her daughter's hand, "Erya, is it Miss Song who bought you?"
Xue Cha nodded, and the aunties on the side said, "Ms. Liu, look at what your daughter is wearing. Look at her fair and tender face. I guess Erya is living a good life!"
"Miss Song just said that Erya is her personal maid!"
"You know what a personal maid is? They are people who work with the lady and don't do any dirty work!"
"And I get monthly money every month!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Liu and Li Dajiang's eyes instantly lit up. Wouldn't it be a good idea to get money every month?
Xue Cha was slightly moved when she saw her family, but when she saw the glint in her mother's eyes, that little move had long since disappeared without a trace!
She pursed her lips slightly, "I don't have any monthly money to take!"
"Ah? No? Why?" Ms. Liu was confused.
Xue Cha said, "I was just bought by the lady and she broke a set of glass tea sets she owned!"
"That tea set costs ten taels per cup! A set is estimated to cost several hundred taels!"
"And this is the only one in the house, and I broke it!"
"I received ten blows, and the manager said that the tea set should be paid for with my monthly salary!"
Mrs. Liu and the other women were shocked. Oh my god, one cup costs ten taels of silver!
One set was broken, a few hundred taels!
That is a cup made of gold!
"You damn kid, why don't you be careful when you work!" Mrs. Liu patted Xue Cha on the back!
Xue Cha didn't say anything. When Liu finished talking, she said, "Mom, if you want to buy cotton, go and buy it quickly. I'm going back!"
"Hey, wait!" Mrs. Liu stopped her.
Xue Cha turned around and Mrs. Liu whispered, "Hey, Erya, how can we have money to buy cotton? If you have some, give it to us first."
"I don't have a penny."
"Can I use your wages to pay for it? Aren't you their maid? Sooner or later, the money for breaking the glass cup will be paid off, and we will wait for the follow-up," Ms. Liu said.
Xue Cha breathed out, "How many pounds of cotton do you want?"
Liu made a rough calculation and said, "Thirty pounds!"
The couple refurbished their quilt and mattress, and then refurbished their son Jinxiu's quilt and mattress, and made the rest into cotton-padded jackets, leaving a few kilograms at home!
Sixty cents per catty, how much is thirty catties?
Only 1800 copper coins, which is almost two taels of silver!
"No, it's too much. The lady will definitely not agree!"
"You will know if you ask, why are you so stupid!" "Your father and I can't even eat now, so how can we have money to buy cotton? If you don't help, we will freeze to death this year. ! You don’t want to think about us, but also think about your brother, he is still so young!" Liu said with blame in his tone.
What's going on with this daughter? Let's not talk about how she can't make enough money every month. She's already working as a young lady's personal maid. Why can't she even do this well?
With so much cotton, even if a few kilograms were stolen from each car, it would still be undetectable!
"Xuecha, come here!" Song Changshang stopped halfway and said hello.
Just now she asked Xue Cha if she could help, and Xue Cha said she could, so she didn't go there. But now that her mother was talking endlessly, she didn't seem to care about Xue Cha, and looking at Xue Cha's expression That's not right either, so she hurriedly greeted him.
Xue Cha said, "The lady is calling me," and went over, leaving Mrs. Liu alone!
"Your mother asked you for money?"
Song Changshang asked in a low voice, Xue Cha nodded, "I said no. She asked me to buy thirty kilograms of cotton on credit with you!"
"And he said he wouldn't be able to eat!"
Song Shangshang was speechless. This was a bit ridiculous. Last year there was a flood and they couldn't eat, but this year the harvest is particularly good! The village head's wife had just talked to her about this.
They say this year’s autumn harvest is particularly good, double that of previous years!
Everyone pays the tax and keeps the seeds for next year, so there is still a lot left over!
It will be fine to eat until next winter.
Then why can’t we eat?
"Xuecha, give ten pounds of cotton to your mother!"
Xue Cha looked at her with confusion on her face, and Song Changshang explained, "Isn't your brother very close to you? I think he is for you."
"We will never come to this village again."
"Row."
Xue Cha gave ten pounds of cotton as a gift, but what Song Changshang didn't expect was that Xue Cha's mother was quite greedy.
When she saw rouge and gouache on sale, she wanted to buy a facial cream for her son to apply!
"It's not expensive, only sixty cents. If you tell your lady again, she will definitely agree." Mrs. Liu held ten kilograms of cotton and looked at the jars of facial cream in the box.
I looked at others buying those big apples and pears, and said, get some more apples and pears!
This time Song Changshang took action in person. She walked up to Mrs. Liu and said, "Auntie, you think I'm the one who took advantage of me! Let's not talk about taking away ten kilograms of cotton for free!"
"Want something else?"
"Your daughter broke my glass tea set. I was merciful by not beating her to death!"
"I gave these ten pounds of cotton because you, mother and daughter, haven't seen each other for a long time, and Xue Cha has begged me for a long time, so I gave it to you. Why do you have to go above and beyond?"
Mrs. Liu was frightened by Song Shangshang's momentum. She was trembling and dared not speak. Song Shangshang was also convinced. What kind of mother is this?
When you know that your daughter has made mistakes in the house, you still ask your daughter for this or that. You don't care whether your daughter will be disgusted, blamed, beaten or scolded by the master because of these things!
Only thinking about your own interests!
A little bit is a little bit!
who!
"Let's go, what are you doing standing still! What kind of mother is this? You've already sold your daughter, and you still want to suck her blood."
Song Changshang clicked her tongue twice, turned around and went back, and Xue Cha quickly followed.
The women around also felt that Mrs. Liu was a bit too much. If they knew that their daughter had made such a big mistake in the master's house, they would never force their daughter to ask for it. If these official ladies got angry, they would fight her. What if their daughter dies?
After all, a master who beats, scolds, or even kills a slave will not go to jail!
