Volume 1 Chapter 437: Hotel Trouble
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the cold wind from the river blew in gusts, making people feel so cold that their teeth were chattering.
Coupled with the dark surface of the river, people feel even more frightened.
Xiaoyu could only pray silently in her heart to get to the other side of the river quickly. If she stayed like this any longer, she really couldn't hold on any longer. The young lady at home didn't say a word, and the boatman also shut up after saying a lot of things and seeing that no one paid attention to him. The atmosphere now was really weird.
Fortunately, after more than 40 minutes of sailing, we finally reached the other side of the river.
Xiaoyu was the first to jump over. Only when her feet touched the solid ground did she feel alive again.
They immediately helped the young lady to the ground, then the three of them gave the old boatman five taels of silver, and then turned around and disappeared from the old boatman's sight.
The three of them came to a corner, and Lan Yaner said to Xiaoyu, "The groom will stay here with me. Xiaoyu, take this little money and go find a place to stay. When you find one, come find me here."
Lan Yaner gave Xiaoyu ten taels of silver. By the way, if we see anything we must buy when we go out, we might as well buy some more. We don’t have special time to collect them!
After hearing this, Xiaoyu walked out of the dark corner with ten taels of silver in her pocket, feeling relieved, and went straight to find a place to stay.
The round trip took more than an hour, and Xiaoyu arrived at a place to stay with ten taels of silver.
He said to the waiter, "Hey, there are three of us who would like to rent two rooms. Do you have any ordinary rooms available?"
The waiter looked the patched-up girl up and down, glaring at her with disdain. He said, "Where did this beggar come from? Now you're not even begging properly, but trying to cheat people instead."
"Why don't you open your dog eyes and take a good look at our place. Is this something someone like you can afford to live in?"
Another waiter who was walking by saw this scene and said sneerfully, "Just look at how poor he looks. He doesn't even know if he'll ever be able to sleep in a house with a roof over his head!"
The two waiters just stood there and started to laugh at Xiaoyu, calling her a poor beggar on the left and a little beggar on the right, which directly rubbed Xiaoyu's self-esteem on the ground.
Her thin little hands clenched into fists. If fate hadn't been unfair, how could she have ended up like this? When she was little, she was abducted by human traffickers and sold to traffickers.
After that, I started to live a life worse than pigs and dogs. If I wasn't careful, I would be whipped by human traffickers. Not having enough food was not a problem. Sometimes I had no food to eat, and when I did have food to eat, I could only survive by drinking cold ice water for two or three days.
I don’t know how long I lived like this until I was sold to the previous owner. Because I was nimble and efficient at work, my life gradually became better. But my life was really more bitter than that of Coptis chinensis!
I don't know what crime the previous owner committed, but his property was ransacked and he was exiled as well. After some twists and turns, he fell into the hands of human traffickers.
Then they continued to live their lives, with no food to eat and having to endure whipping, punching and kicking from time to time. The patches on their bodies were the least fatal of these injuries.
Having lived such a hard life, she had long been accustomed to enduring other people's contempt, but now she was being humiliated nakedly by a shop kid in front of so many people. To be honest, it really stabbed Xiaoyu's self-esteem again.
My heart really hurts!
But there's nothing I can do. Who told me I had a hard life? And I'm so lowly, I can only live this unsatisfactory life. But even if I live an unsatisfactory life, that's okay. After all, I've found a new master now. But this is the first thing my master has asked me to do. If I don't do it well, what if I get sold by my master again? What will I do then?
So Xiaoyu could only endure the humiliation and the waiter's cold stare, and continued to plead bitterly, "Brother Dian, I really need to stay here. I booked a room here at the arrangement of my master."
"My master will be coming over soon, and I can't be left without a place to stay. This is the job the director assigned to me, and I can't mess it up!"
"Could you please tell me if there are any vacancies in the shop?"
Hearing this, the waiter stood up lazily, glanced up and down, and said in a arrogant tone: "It's just two rooms, right? Look at you, you look so shameless."
"But I have to tell you, there really isn't a room for you in my shop. That lowly master is already living there."
"Looking at your patched-up, malnourished appearance, who knows what kind of cruel and ruthless person your master is."
"I dare not let such a person into the hotel, I am afraid of disturbing my other guests!"
After saying that, he closed the door without even turning back and ignoring Xiaoyu's pleading eyes.
With a "bang", the sound of the door closing not only closed the door, but also closed the door of Xiaoyu's self-esteem.
I had no choice but to turn around and go to other stores to ask if there were any unoccupied rooms available for people to stay in.
Fortunately, I finally found a shop in a secluded corner. Although it is not as good as a big restaurant, it at least has hot water, home-cooked meals, and a small room where I can rest for a while.
This small room is still the same shop. The waiter felt sorry for himself, his eyes were red, and he was wearing patched clothes. He felt sorry for himself so much that he begged the owner to make room for him.
Xiao Yuer paid the winnings and turned around to say thank you to the waiter who had just spoken for her. Then she turned around and went out to pick up Lan Yaner.
Lan Yaner had been waiting there anxiously. The tension and anxiety that had been lingering around her all day long made her extremely irritable.
Just when I was about to give up and felt that something bad was going to happen, Xiaoyu came back staggeringly.
"The host has found a small inn, but I'm afraid I'll have to inconvenience you. The room isn't that big, and there's only one room."
"I've asked other inns, but they all look down on me for being so naive. They suspect I can't afford it, so they won't let us stay. Even if I pay and say we can afford it, they're afraid of disturbing other customers and won't let us stay!"
