Chapter 189: So lazy that he was not sold

Thinking about how uncouth the country folk were, Liu Yan didn't want to eat at the same table with them, so she nodded in agreement.

Qiao Xuan smiled and went to eat, leaving Liu Yan alone in the kitchen.

Liu Yan looked at the food left for herself: half a bowl of rice, and on the plate were yam, beans, and a few slices of loofah.

It's all vegetarian and doesn't look oily. How do I eat it?

In fact, the family is now well-off. Under Fang's instructions, Qiao's cooking uses much better oil, salt and seasonings than before. Now the dishes are at least not lacking in oil and salt and are no longer bland and tasteless.

But compared with the kitchen in the county magistrate's house, it is definitely incomparable.

Liu Yan was a second-class maid and she also had meat for every meal. Sometimes when Qiao Wei was happy, she would reward the maids who served them with a plate of delicious snacks or a delicious dish that she couldn't finish. How could Liu Yan bear it if they suddenly fell into poverty?

Liu Yan looked at the rice and vegetarian dishes, and the grievance in her heart surged up again.

How to eat this?

But she was not satisfied. You know, although Qiao Xuan was wary of her, and would definitely not show mercy if she did something evil, Qiao Xuan had never thought of abusing her.

If it were someone else, she would probably not even be able to eat white rice.

Liu Yan had no appetite. She ate a small half of the meal with a feeling of grievance and resentment, then put down her bowl and chopsticks in a huff and quietly returned to her room.

Lying on the hard and simple wooden bed, tears flowed down my face.

That night, Liu Yan was in great torment.

When Liu Yan woke up the next day, it was already bright outside. She was lying there with a sore back and waist.

When I think about where I am now, I feel even more hopeless about life.

However, she came here with a mission, and she could only leave here if she completed the mission quickly.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan managed to cheer up a little.

Her duties certainly did not include serving this family as a slave, so even though she woke up, she didn't want to get up yet.

What if they wanted her to work?

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Yan slowly got up.

Only Fang was left at home with her grandchildren.

Everyone else went out to work, except for Shao Yunduan, who was reviewing his lessons in the room.

Qiao Xuan and her friends are busy making lipsticks in the flower fields.

If Fang hadn't wanted to keep an eye on Liu Yan, she would have already taken her two grandchildren out to visit friends and relatives.

She glanced at Liu Yan, somewhat unhappy.

This maid was so lazy that she was not sold.

Liu Yan combed her hair and washed her face, then found two steamed buns in the kitchen. Knowing that these should be breakfast for herself, she ate them silently.

The steamed buns had already gone cold and seemed a little hard. To Liu Yan, they tasted like chewing wax.

Thinking of the meat buns and minced meat porridge she had eaten in the past, Liu Yan felt extremely greedy.

The desire to go back as soon as possible became stronger and stronger.

So Liu Yan cheered up and greeted Fang with a smile: "Hello, old lady."

She came to Fang and smiled flatteringly: "Master Sun and Miss Sun are so well-behaved and good-looking. You can tell at a glance that they are blessed."

Shao Junyan and Shao Qing were sitting on a small stool next to Fang, eating loquats and plums obediently.

The yellow loquats and dark red plums were big and plump, juicy when you took a bite, the flesh was thick and tender, and full of fruity aroma. The two children ate with gusto, smiling with satisfaction, and it looked delicious.

Liu Yan couldn't help but feel greedy when she smelled the fruity aroma. She swallowed secretly and reached out to grab a few from the basket.
