Chapter 154 A Scheming Woman
"You are lucky. My young master has always been kind. Return her indenture to her!" Erniu took out silver notes from his arms, one worth ten taels and the other worth five taels.
Miss Yan was a little surprised at first, then she looked at Bai Xiaorui with envy, thinking that she had really met a good person.
She was a person of her word. She waved her hand and a thug came forward and handed her Bai Xiaorui's indenture contract.
"This is your indenture contract. Since there are kind people helping you, don't go back to that home. Your father is not a good man." Miss Yan handed the indenture contract to Bai Xiaorui and reminded her.
Bai Xiaorui was very grateful and kowtowed to her.
Erniu jumped off the car and handed the silver note to Miss Yan.
Miss Yan checked the seal and found no problem with it before putting the banknote into her arms.
"Your young master is a good man, and good people will be rewarded." Miss Yan herself is a victim, and now she sees that someone is willing to help Bai Xiaorui.
She was envious and happy for Bai Xiaorui.
If she had had some kind-hearted people helping her back then, she would have a different life now.
I don't care about being rich or powerful, I just want to marry an ordinary person who understands my feelings and treats her well.
"Get out of the way!" Erniu nodded to Miss Yan, and then said to Bai Xiaorui.
Bai Xiaorui quickly stood up, ran to the carriage, and shouted to Yu Banxia inside, "Sir, thank you for your help. Can you please meet me? I want to thank you in person."
"No need, just live your life well." Yu Banxia spoke again.
Bai Xiaorui refused, and knelt down stubbornly: "Please meet me, sir, so that I can thank you in person."
She was wearing thin clothes. It was already winter and she was shivering with cold. The cold wind blew and her face turned blue.
"Sir, since you have helped her, why don't you meet her? She looks so pitiful. It's so cold today and she is wearing so little."
"Yes, young man in the car, let's meet him. Be a good person to the end."
Listening to everyone's persuasion outside, Yu Banxia suddenly smiled: "Miss, stop while you are ahead. I don't need a servant to serve me. Don't make me regret helping the wrong person."
"People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. It's understandable that you want to live a good life, but you shouldn't force it. I'm physically disabled, so it's not convenient for me to see you."
After hearing Yu Banxia say this, the noise outside disappeared instantly.
Bai Xiaorui was also stunned. She didn't expect that this young man with such a nice voice was actually a cripple?
The thoughts that had just arisen in her mind disappeared in an instant. Bai Xiaorui kowtowed to the carriage and said, "I don't mean to force you. Since it is not convenient for you, I will not ask to see you."
"Sir, please tell me your last name and where you live. If I am able to repay you in the future..."
"No need. Since I'm helping you, I haven't thought about asking you to repay me anything." Yu Banxia refused again mercilessly.
Bai Xiaorui stood up and stood aside. She was shivering with cold, but she refused to leave.
Yu Banxia said to Erniu, "Let's go!"
"Yes." Erniu responded, sat back in the carriage, and glanced at Bai Xiaorui.
There was a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm in her eyes. This woman was indeed smart, but unfortunately, she had calculated on the wrong person.
After the carriage left, Miss Yan also curled her lips and said, "Bai Xiaorui, you are indeed a smart person. In fact, you are more suitable for Chunfeng Tower. With your scheming, it won't be long before the Oiran will be yours."
"Take care of yourself. Let's go back too. It's freezing." Miss Yan shouted and left with her people.
Some people still stood there and looked at Bai Xiaorui.
One man even took off his jacket and handed it to her: "Girl, this is a new jacket my mother made for me. I've only worn it for two days. If you don't mind, you can wear it."
"Thank you." Bai Xiaorui took a look at the coat. It was indeed new and not very dirty. It was better than freezing herself.
She didn't care whether the man was cold or not, she just took the jacket and put it on.
"I have some money here, I'll give it to you too!" The man smiled naively and gave her the two cents of silver he had on him.
Bai Xiaorui bowed gratefully: "Thank you for your generosity, sir."
"Girl, you seem to be a pitiful person. How about I be a matchmaker for you?" A maid stared at her, walked up to her with a smile and took her hand.
Bai Xiaorui quickly took her hand away from hers: "Aunt, I'm still young. I don't want to get married for the time being. I want to find a job and support myself first."
"Why go to so much trouble to find a husband? Are you afraid that you won't have enough food, clothing and shelter?"
"The guy who gave you the coat just now is from the He family. His mother is not someone you can easily mess with. He gave you the coat and the money. It's obvious that he likes you."
This old woman gave her a message. Bai Xiaorui was most afraid of being involved with such a person.
She was panicking inside, but she didn't show it on her face.
Seeing that the silly boy had already walked out of the crowd, she hurriedly said, "Thank you, auntie. I want to go to the government office first to restore my household registration."
"Okay, go ahead!" The old woman looked at her meaningfully, then twisted her waist and left.
Before Bai Xiaorui had taken a few steps, a few men brought her some money and other things.
Looking at the food and money in her hands, Bai Xiaorui lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth raised in pride.
"Thank you all, brothers. Bai Xiaorui will remember it in my heart." She bowed to them and left in a hurry for fear that the old woman from the He family would catch up with her.
She first ran to the yamen to restore her household registration. As soon as she walked out of the yamen, she saw the boy from the He family who gave her the jacket, walking towards the yamen with a maid.
Bai Xiaorui quickly turned into a small alley. If she remembered correctly, there was a pawnshop on the street behind the yamen.
She quickly ran out of the alley and saw a pawn shop.
As soon as Bai Xiaorui entered the pawnshop, the He family's wife and son followed her.
"Girl, what do you want to be?" The guy inside opened the small window and asked Bai Xiaorui.
Bai Xiaorui took off her coat and said, "This is a newly made coat. I've only worn it for two days. I fled here from Broken Jade City."
"This coat was made by my mother for my brother, but they are both gone now. We were in a hurry to escape and didn't bring any thick clothes. I want to exchange this coat for an old woman's coat, and the rest for silver or pawn it."
The clerk took it and checked the fabric of the jacket. The cotton inside was indeed thick and all new.
"Okay, I'll exchange it for a women's jacket, and I'll give you another two hundred coins left. Are you willing?" the waiter said to Bai Xiaorui.
"Can."
Soon, the women's jacket was brought over. It was not as warm as the new jacket and the cotton was a bit stiff, but at least she wouldn't be caught.
"Thank you." After taking the jacket and money, Bai Xiaorui pressed her handprints, then put on the jacket while braiding her hair into a pigtail.
