Chapter 54
Li Yuezhu never expected that it was the work of her family. Fortunately, she was in an ordinary farmhouse now. At most, she could fight with Li Cuihua, so her family had nothing to worry about.
"Then what are you going to do now?"
Chen Jiuying turned around and glanced at Li Yuezhu, who had saved her.
"My name is Chen Jiuying, and I am the ninth oldest child in the family. You can also call me Xiaojiu."
When Li Yuezhu heard Chen Jiuying's words, his eyes widened immediately. It was really a big family, the ninth oldest...
"Hello, my name is Li Yuezhu."
After exchanging names, the two of them instantly became like handkerchief acquaintances and began to get close.
"Thank you very much this time. If it weren't for you, I would definitely have been sold to Yihong Courtyard by that gangster. I feel scared just thinking about it now." Chen Jiuying took Li Yuezhu's hand and said very gratefully.
"Then you should be more careful in the future. Take all precautions. It is difficult to guard against domestic thieves. Since you already know that this is a problem in the family, it is better to solve it as soon as possible."
Chen Jiuying nodded quickly. She was similar to Li Yuezhu in one aspect. Looking at her worried expression, Chen Jiuying covered her mouth and smiled.
"We really don't know each other until we fight."
Li Yuezhu laughed loudly after listening to Chen Jiuying's words, thinking that just a moment ago they were fighting over an insignificant piece of cloth, and now they were having a drink and chatting together. It was so unpredictable.
Chen Jiuying looked at Li Yuezhu's unbridled smile with envy on her face. There were rules at home, and if she didn't do anything right, her father would become very strict.
"Where is your home? I will definitely bring my mother to visit you one day." Chen Jiuying said seriously.
Li Yuezhu also felt that Chen Jiuying was different from other women. She was also happy to get to know such a unique girl, so she told her the location of her family.
Chen Jiuying opened her eyes wide. She didn't expect that the seemingly shabby Li Yuezhu's family was also in Dongcheng District, and their two families were separated by an alley.
Chen Jiuying's eyes immediately shone: "Zhu'er, that's great, I can go and play with you often from now on."
Chen Jiuying took Li Yuezhu's hand again and looked very excited: "You don't know, since I moved to Ankang County, I haven't lived a comfortable life for a day. I am either practicing embroidery behind my mother or going out to play with my little brother.
Ma, my father saw that I had a wild temper, so he locked me in the room all day long and made me read and practice calligraphy."
When Chen Jiuying said this, she wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I was almost nervous at home. I accompanied my mother to visit a few official families. You don't know how boring the young lady in that family was. She spent all her time playing with flowers or embroidering purses. I saw her...
The craftsmanship can’t even be sold for a penny even in a clothing store.”
Li Yuezhu finally looked at Chen Jiuying's giggling complaints with a smile.
"I can come and play with you from now on, but don't bother me."
Li Yuezhu was filled with joy when she looked at this girl who was more eloquent than her. It felt good to have an acquaintance in this strange city.
"You don't know how painful it is to have several sisters in the family." Chen Jiuying seemed to have found a soulmate, talking endlessly: "I have three sisters, two of whom were born to the second mother-in-law. They have already left the government. The eighth sister
But it was Sanniang who gave birth to her, so I guess what happened today must have something to do with Sanniang."
After Chen Jiuying said these words, coupled with her expression, it was really amazing.
"My father is a well-known scholar and has countless students. Now only my sixth brother is left to protect me. The other brothers have been assigned to serve as officials in prefectures and counties."
Chen Jiuying sighed at this time: "My sixth brother should leave me soon."
After she finished speaking, she showed a sad expression.
"Don't just listen to me. What about you? I think your character must have come from being pampered by your family."
Li Yuezhu rolled his eyes: "Do you think everyone is like you, having no worries about food and clothing and only thinking about eating, drinking and having fun?"
Li Yuezhu also began to speak unscrupulously.
"You stinky girl, you are really sharp-tongued, no one is like you said." Chen Jiuying suddenly jumped on Li Yuezhu, scratching and scratching her, and the two of them rolled together in an instant.
"Hey, stop making trouble," Li Yuezhu quickly pushed Xiaojiu aside: "Do you still listen to me?"
"Listen, tell me quickly."
"My father has gone to the army for many years. There is only my mother, brother and younger brother at home. Actually, there is not much to say. I just moved from the village to the county town a few days ago. I went out to buy some things today and I met you.
My sister-in-law is here."
After hearing this, Chen Jiuying looked proud: "Look, we are still destined!"
This afternoon, Li Yuezhu and Chen Jiuying chatted happily under the willow tree. The two of them seemed to have found a soulmate.
The sun was setting soon. Li Yuezhu slapped his thigh and stood up: "It's broken, it's broken, my mother is still waiting for me in the jewelry shop."
When Chen Jiuying heard what Li Yuezhu said, she burst into laughter. In the past, Chen Jiuying would never have laughed like this. It really harmed the image of a girl.
"It's all your fault." Li Yuezhu said coquettishly: "If it weren't for you, how could I have forgotten my mother."
"Okay, okay, blame me, blame me." Chen Jiuying did not argue with Li Yuezhu: "We have agreed. I will take my mother to visit your home tomorrow. You have to prepare some delicious food for me.
ah."
When Li Yuezhu heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "You can do it by yourself, you don't need to ask your aunt to come with you."
"No matter what, I must tell my mother what happened today. Even if I don't let her come to your house, she will definitely ask to see you if she hears it."
After bidding farewell to Chen Jiuying, Li Yuezhu hurried to the door of the jewelry store and walked back and forth twice, wondering whether to go in.
"Zhu'er, here!"
Li Yuezhu heard her mother's call in the distance and quickly raised her head and looked around.
When I saw my mother sitting in a tea shop on the roadside, I quickly walked over in three steps at a time.
"Mom, I'm sorry for being late." Li Yuezhu said immediately aggrievedly.
"Mom and your brother have just arrived here. We just went out for a walk with him and bought him some snacks. I also bought two boxes of ink sticks and a writing brush for your brother."
Mrs. Zhou took her sweaty daughter, sat in the pergola, and poured her a cup of tea.
"Your brother's pen has started to shed hair, but he doesn't want to throw it away. My mother doesn't have much knowledge, so she just bought two for him."
Li Yuezhu nodded clearly. She didn't want to interfere with what her mother wanted to buy. After drinking tea and cooling off in the shed, they packed up and headed home.
"Mom, there may be guests at home tomorrow." Li Yuezhu turned around and said excitedly to Mrs. Zhou.
