Gu Fei didn’t know that someone had been thinking about the gun in her hand. She had a good sleep.
After waking up early and eating breakfast, Mrs. Chen discussed with Gu Zhang: “Why don’t we all go to the city today? There are many things to buy in this house.”
“We can’t burn the kang in the south, so we have to buy more charcoal and charcoal basins. And the bed, it doesn’t look good if it’s bare, so we have to buy some mosquito nets and curtains to hang up.”
“With so many rooms, we have to buy more oil lamps and candles, and more teapots. Alas, this house is big, and we need several copies of everything, which is also expensive!”
Gu Zhang nodded: “We need to buy some things. The New Year is coming soon, and we have to buy New Year’s goods. ”
Lanzhi raised her head and said cautiously: “Auntie, can I go to the city with you?”
Mrs. Chen looked at her, and Lanzhi said hurriedly: “I want to go to the city to take some embroidery work at the embroidery shop.”
“I am very good at embroidery!”
“Last year, Xiao Fei took a job embroidering four screens for me in the embroidery shop. I worked for half a year and earned 60 taels of silver.”
“I, I want to earn more money for the family.”
Mrs. Chen glanced at Gu Fei, and Gu Fei nodded. She knew that Lanzhi felt that she was eating for free, and she would feel at ease if she asked her to do some work.
Mrs. Chen said: “Then go ahead. The money you earn from embroidery will belong to you.”
Lanzhi waved her hands anxiously: “No, no, no, I will give you all the money I earn. I can’t stay at home and eat for free without working.”
Lanzhi lowered her head: “I know I’m not as capable as Lian’er and can’t do much work. , I’m not very good at serving people. I can only embroider and do needlework.”
Lanzhi raised her head with tears in her eyes: “Uncle and Aunt, my parents are gone. I have already regarded you as my relative in my heart, and this place is my home. I also want to earn more money to make our family live better and better.”
Seeing Lanzhi crying, Gu Erlang couldn’t help but get anxious and looked at his mother eagerly.
Mrs. Chen didn’t even look at him, and smiled at Lanzhi: “This girl, why are you crying while talking.”
“Okay, I’ve promised you. When you go to the city to buy embroidery frames, embroidery threads, etc., you can ask Xiao Fei to buy them for you.”
Lanzhi was happy: “Thank you, Auntie.”
Gu Erlang’s heart finally settled down.
At this time, Lian’er suddenly said: “Auntie, I have to go to the city with you.”
Mrs. Chen looked at her, and Lian’er continued: “When Miss Xiao Fei bought me, she didn’t go to the government to sign a contract. I’ve been here for a few days. Miss Xiao Fei may have forgotten, but I haven’t forgotten.”
Gu Fei was silent for two seconds. She didn’t forget. She just didn’t think about what to do with Lian’er.
If she let her go, she would have no relatives. It would be difficult for a girl to support herself outside, and it would be dangerous.
If she was not allowed to go, she would not have a contract to sell herself. Some things were always not so reliable.
Gu Fei said slowly: “Think about it carefully. If you sign a contract to sell yourself, you will no longer be a good citizen, but a slave.”
Lian’er stood up and knelt: “Miss Xiao Fei gave my mother steamed bread, Uncle Gu and several elder brothers helped bury my mother and brother, and Miss Xiao Fei was willing to buy me and spend so much precious food to support me. My life has long belonged to Miss Xiao Fei.”
“I said that I, Lian’er, will be Miss Xiao Fei’s person in life and Miss Xiao Fei’s ghost in death.”
“I originally have arranged marriage at home, but now it is no longer counted. I have thought about it. In this life, I will not marry, and I will serve Miss Xiao Fei for the rest of my life.”
