Chapter 279 Please accept me as your servant

Shen Qing was pulled back, looking back in confusion: "...It's already this late, why are you still bothering about the indenture?"

If I go to Cao's house earlier, I can bring my daughter back earlier, right?

Pinggu was so thin that her bones were visible, and she walked with a weak and unsteady step. Her daughters were probably not much better off than her.

And we don’t even know whether Mrs. Cao will release him or not!

Pinggu shook her head and insisted, "Master, this is my indenture and the divorce letter from Cao Da. Take it. From now on, I will be your servant."

Shen Qing thought that she hired Pinggu to work and support Pinggu and her daughter - Pinggu's daughter was not entirely supported by her, after all, Pinggu paid money in advance as food expenses.

Pinggu embroidered for her to earn money, so how did the employment relationship turn into a master-servant relationship?

She blinked and advised sincerely: "You have left the Cao family. You have skills and money. You can set up your own business without being a slave.

Don't worry, I won't regret it just because you don't sell yourself into slavery. You embroider, and I'll buy your work. The money you earn will be more than enough to support yourself and your four daughters."

Ping Gu still shook her head and said sincerely: "If you help me, you will definitely offend the Cao family, including Cao Da. My indenture is in your hands, and my life and death are in your hands;

If Cao Da uses his biological father's power to threaten his four daughters into doing anything that harms your interests, they won't dare agree to it for the sake of my life!"

This is a guarantee for Shen Qing. She helped herself, so she couldn't help but consider her more.

At the same time, it was also to leave a way out for his daughters. Cao Da was their father. He would use filial piety to pressure them in the future, and they would also be able to lift her, their mother, out - they couldn't just care about their father's life and ignore their mother's life!

Cao Da, the four girls cannot help no matter what. Once they help, they will no longer have a place to stand in Shen Qing's family and even in the entire village.

To be honest, even Shen Qing didn't think of this level of interest.

I didn't expect Pinggu to consider things so carefully and long-term.

Huo Bing looked at Pinggu with more appreciation in his eyes.

Liu Cuihua felt more admiration - if she were in Pinggu's situation, she would definitely not have thought of these things, nor would she have been able to be so thorough.

Ping Gu said sincerely: "I am used to being a servant. I am not used to you asking me to start my own business. Besides, my daughters will get married one by one. What's the point of me supporting the family alone?

Please accept me as your servant, so I won’t be alone when I’m old.”

There are many types of hosts and many types of masters.

She only knew that Shen Qing and Old Madam Cao were different, and that it was mutual. This time, she was willing...

There are mostly middle-aged men in the workshop, and each of them is very strong.

When they heard Shen Qing shouting to move the food to Cao's house, they opened their eyes wide in disbelief.

Jiang Xiangnan quickly jumped out and asked in disbelief, "Mom, are you sure?"

Our family has an average relationship with the Cao family, so why should we send food over there?

He also saw that behind his mother was Pinggu, who was injured in the Cao family that day. Was his mother being soft-hearted?

"There are so many poor people out there. Mom, you can't help so many. Even if you want to help, you have to get something out of it, right?"

Shen Qing felt a little ashamed.

She did have some ulterior motives, and quite a lot of them.

Alas, she is indeed a snob who won't release the eagle until she sees the rabbit.

She had a very clear position in her mind, but she still had to pretend, so she said, "Get out of here!

"Dafu, you come, and Feng Meng, Zhao Hu, Zhao Bao, Zhou Sanshan... that's not enough, forget it, all the Lei brothers come with us!"

There are 800 kilograms of food. If each person carries 100 kilograms up the mountain, it will take eight people!

There are also two sheep.

The men whose names were called stepped out excitedly, while those who were not called looked at each other with envy - they also wanted to see what was going on.

"Sister-in-law?" Jiang Yu heard the familiar voice, put down the work in his hands, ran out of the kitchen and shouted anxiously.

Lei Dafu paused, turned around and looked over without saying a word.

Shen Qing said briskly: "It's okay, don't worry, I will tell you what happened when I get home tonight.

Oh, and cook dinner for five more people. Uh, let's stew a big goose."

Jiang Xiangnan swallowed his saliva. While he was craving the legendary goose stewed in an iron pot, he felt sad when he thought about how he had begged his mother so many times before but she had never agreed to kill the goose. Unexpectedly, today she had to stew the goose for an unrelated outsider.

He looked at Jiang Yu expectantly. If his aunt advised his mother, she would definitely not go!

My mother respects my younger sister.

Otherwise, if the younger sister asks her mother why she has to go, she will definitely tell her now, which will satisfy her curiosity.

"Okay." Jiang Yu replied softly.

Shen Qing's smile widened as she patted the back of her sister-in-law's hand. The coldness of her hand made her frown, and she warned: "Your hand is too cold. The doctor said you have a cold body. You need to take good care of it.

You just need to be responsible for cooking, and leave everything else to Xiangnan."

Jiang Yu nodded flatteredly: "Sister-in-law, I'm fine. There's not much work in the kitchen, so this is nothing."

Jiang Xiangnan: .....He was planning to complain to his mother every once in a while to see if he could get some extra pay for his part-time road repair job.

How could he still cry out in misery after hearing what his aunt said?

Lei Dafu thought of the many gray squirrel skins he had at home. Although they were small, the tails of the gray squirrels were extremely fluffy and soft, making them perfect for making fur collars and hand cages.

Looking back can let spring pass.

Mrs. Cao looked at the huge crowd, the food and two sheep piled in front of her.

She hid her excitement, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"

Pinggu came forward from behind, bowed respectfully, and said, “Old Madam, thanks to you, I have found a new master;

She couldn't bear to see my mother and I separated, so she was willing to exchange food for my little gold and silver for the four of us."

Mrs. Cao frowned unhappily and directly rejected the idea, "Impossible! Youcai and Xiaojin and Xiaoyin are both very capable workers. I won't let them go!"

He let go of his four hardworking and caring children, and kept the useless and unfavored one in his hand. This duckweed is like a kite with a broken string, how can he control it!

"Old lady, you have misunderstood. There is no Youcai, only four daughters, Xiaojin, Xiaoyin." Pinggu said again.

Mrs. Cao raised her eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "Is there no talent?"

Youcai will be 15 years old after the Chinese New Year. He is no longer a boy and can do physical work without any problem. Why does Fu Ping's new owner not want Youcai but wants Xiao Jin, Xiao Yin and the other four?

You have to know that Xiaojin and Xiaoyin, who are ten or eleven years old, can do some work, but Xiaotong and Xiaotie are only eight or nine years old and can basically do no work - even if they can, their work can be assigned to Xiaojin and Xiaoyin, and keeping them is a waste of food.

Besides, Youcai is a boy, how could Fu Ping be willing to give him up?

Ping Gu hummed and continued, "Youcai is the descendant of the Cao family. Even if I want to exchange him, Cao Da, my biological father, will never agree.

I originally only wanted to exchange for the small gold and silver coins. After all, the two little ones are still childish and have a good appetite. But that would put more pressure on the old lady, so I had to exchange them all together."
