454 There was a voice in his heart
“Big brother, your mouth, is, split. Water, I, water.” Cheng Huaiyu was still stuttering.
In fact, before the incident with the Cheng family, she had already discovered that she could speak during the imperial examination. She had even secretly practiced calling her parents ‘father’ and ‘brother’.
She also realized that she couldn’t say a long sentence, so she planned to say a long sentence before telling her family, but something happened to the Cheng family.
“Water, drink some water.” As Cheng Huaiyu spoke, she went to the stream with both hands and brought the water over for her brother to drink. However, her hands were small, and every time she brought the water over, it would almost all flow out through the gaps between her fingers.
She was so upset that she was about to cry.
“Xiao Yu, don’t panic. Do you see the leaves over there? Go and pick a few, big brother will teach you how to make the water container.” Cheng huaijin wanted to get up, but he found that he couldn’t move his legs. He forced himself to calm down, looked around, and said to Cheng Huaiyu, ”
“Yes.” Cheng Huaiyu ran over and picked a few large leaves.
Cheng huaijin taught her how to fold the leaves into something that could hold water.
Cheng Huaiyu went to pack it for him a few times before he finally quenched his thirst.
sister, we’re fugitives now. Are you afraid? ” Cheng huaijin asked after drinking enough water.
Cheng Huaiyu’s eyes were a little dazed. She was well protected by her family and could even be said to be a little silly before she met Gu Xin.
Gu Xin fed her a lot of jade beads before she returned to normal.
“In the future, it might only be us siblings. He didn’t know if his grandfather would be able to save his parents and brother. Little Yu, are you blaming big brother for taking you away without your consent?” Cheng huaijin asked.
Cheng Huaiyu shook his head and remained silent for a while before saying, ” “Brother, will father and mother, will they be beheaded?”
“I don’t know,” Cheng huaijin replied. In the future, we’ll depend on each other. After this matter has passed, we’ll go to the capital to take a look.”
“Yes.” Cheng Huaiyu nodded.
Cheng huaijin didn’t know why he had chosen to run back then. There was a voice in his heart that was telling him that if he didn’t run, his life would be over. He wouldn’t be able to have everything he wanted.
Run, run, don’t let others fish on you. Your sister is still young, she hasn’t even seen this world, take her and run!
And sister niannian, if you don’t run away, this will be your farewell to sister niannian!
……
Gu Xin and her three sisters stayed in the manor for three days. They discussed with the four ladies of the Meng family that they would be paid a hundred Wen a day and they would walk to the Gu residence to work. They would leave from 7 am to 5 am and have lunch at the Gu residence.
Gu Nian still wrote a contract. The contents of the contract were for them to keep their work a secret and not reveal it to anyone.
The four ladies of the Meng family naturally agreed. The Gu family had given them a place to live in peace, given them the opportunity to be good citizens, and now even gave them work. They would be crazy to leak this.
Meng Yan and Zheng Ling were also included, but they were younger, so they were only given fifty Wen a day.
The big ones would get three taels of silver a month, and the small ones would get one and a half taels. This was considered good for a farmer.
One had to know that some peasants only had three taels of silver for food and clothing a year.
Gu Nian also found Meng Meng and drew a map of the crop fields. She asked Meng Meng to send someone to tidy up the fields in the next few days. Her father would bring the seeds over in two days for everyone to plant.
The four sisters went over with empty backpacks, and when they came back, they were carrying four backpacks full of flowers.
When she returned home and saw her parents, Gu Xin did not even put down her back and gave them a big hug.
