Chapter 146: Lackey

Ma Qingmei just left.

Ma Chunxia stood up with a swish.

As she spoke, she trotted to the door and shouted at Ma Qingmei's back.

As if he was afraid that Ma Qingmei couldn't hear him.

Small favors from the Jiang family.

This made Ma Chunxia completely become Zhang Jinlan's lackey.

Whoever dares to scold Zhang Jinlan is scolding her!

"Okay, don't pay attention to her. She's always like this, always treating others as fools. Little do they know that she's the foolishest one. She looks calculating, and she really thinks that others can't see it. Talking to her is simply adding bad luck. Come, I'll give you the money, and go back to bed early."

See Ma Chunxia helping me.

Zhang Jinlan was very satisfied.

It seems that her original decision was correct.

After saying this, she took out a purse from her waist, took out a handful of copper coins from it, counted them, and handed them to Ma Chunxia.

"Thank you very much. I'll go back first. Sister Jinlan, have a good rest. We won't disturb you. We'll send it to you tomorrow. If Ma Qingmei comes again, you can find me. I won't scold her to death. This widow takes advantage of others all day long. Who in the village doesn't avoid her when they see her? Okay, I'm going back now."

Otherwise, two people can get along well.

They all love money as their life.

After taking the copper plate, Ma Chunxia's eyes brightened up.

Holding the money tightly, she left with her sons.

Zhang Jinlan also closed the door.

Back to the bedroom.

Jiang Fubao finished watching the show in the house. She lay on the bed contentedly, covered herself with a small quilt, and prepared to have a good sleep.

However, the Jiang Zichong brothers, who had just returned from the town at night, had just arrived home.

"Mom, open the door, we are back——"

Knock on the door.

Waited for several minutes.

Wang Xiulian put on her coat and slowly opened the door.

She looked at her two sons with anticipation in her eyes.

"Zi Chong, Zi Tao, what's up? You came back so late, are you now a waiter? How much is the salary paid by the master? Do you have half an ounce of silver?"

Wang Xiulian was blocking the door.

As a result, both brothers were unable to enter the house.

"Mom, let's go in and have a drink of water first."

Jiang Zichong was speechless.

They walked all the way and were very thirsty.

Now I just want to drink water.

My throat is smoking.

"Oh, then come in. I forgot to boil water for you. Just drink the water in the jar. I'll go scoop it for you."

Wang Xiulian only remembered it after being reminded by her son.

She stepped back a few steps, let her sons in, and closed the gate.

"No, we'll scoop it out ourselves."

Jiang Zichong walked quickly to the jar, picked up the gourd ladle, scooped a full ladleful, drank it all in one gulp, and then sat comfortably on a chair in the yard to rest.

Without waiting for him to breathe.

Wang Xiulian asked again: "Zi Chong, please tell me, do you want to drive me crazy?"

resignedly.

Jiang Zichong had no choice but to answer.

"Mom, none of the restaurants in town were hiring waiters, so it was Brother Eryong who introduced me to a job, cleaning tables and washing dishes in a restaurant. I was paid ten cents a day. The restaurant would take away any leftover dishes, and the manager would tell me to bring back the rest. I had to go back to work the next day.

The shopkeeper gave me a job trial this afternoon and said I did a good job, so we came back so late. Unfortunately, there was only one person, and Zitao waited for me in the backyard for a long time. I let Zitao stay at home. I really can’t find him in town. There are many people vying for odd jobs. Now I don’t even make six cents a day.”

Jiang Zi Chong was worried about his younger brother going out to find a job alone.

When you are angry, you do something impulsive.

He suggested that his younger brother stay at home.

Anyway, he is here.

Ten cents a day is not a small amount.

You can also bring food back.

Enough to support a family.

"What? A dishwasher? What can a lousy dishwasher achieve? I knew Jiang Eryong had bad intentions. He must want to make fun of you. Don't do it. Keep looking for him. If you can't find him, I'll go to his house.

Ask Zhang Jinlan to help and see if she can get you to her shop. You may not know that Jiang Dahe and his brothers are not waiters at all. The shop is owned by his family."

Thinking about the news I heard today.

Wang Xiulian was furious.

The sour taste was about to overflow from her throat.

Jiang Zi Chong, who was tired after a day's work, didn't want to argue with his mother anymore.

He went back to his room and went to sleep without saying a word.

I didn't even take a shower.

Jiang Zitao was kept in the courtyard by Wang Xiulian and questioned.

At this time.

Chang'an Town, a hundred miles away.

The end of the most prosperous Chengtou Street.

In a lower-class room of an inn.

Sun Lai Di and the other two stood in the corner, shivering.

The three had just finished being scolded.

The gangster holding a bamboo stick sat beside the bed, staring at them viciously.

"Do you remember what I just said? Tomorrow when you go to the noble's house, you must perform well for me. This is your last chance. If you mess up again, I will sell the three of you to the kiln. Don't be shameless. You don't want to be a maid, but you want to be a rider for thousands of people!"

Sun Lai-ti and her sister didn't know what a kiln was.

But Fang seemed to know it.

After all, he came from a wealthy family.

And recognize words.

Even if the elders at home don't say it, you can see it in the storybooks.

She turned pale.

The strong composure collapsed at this moment.

It's already dark.

The man with the teeth was sleeping on the bed.

Three little ones, no place to sleep.

I can only lie on the ground like a dog.

Although it was a lower-class room, the floor was paved with blue bricks and was not as dirty as mud.

Put some straw on it.

The three of them fell asleep in anxiety.

When I woke up, it was already daybreak.

At the orders of the human traffickers, they washed their faces and changed into clean clothes.

Got on the carriage.

Leave the inn with Renyazi.

The carriage had been on its way for less than a quarter of an hour.

Just enter a door.

Stopped in a yard.

The three of them sat in the carriage and dared not say a word.

"Master, please tell me how many people are there ahead?"

Fang Wanru pricked up her ears to listen to the noise outside.

The human tooth seemed to be talking to someone else.

"It's still early. There are at least 40 or 50 people here. You're too late."

"Oh, I came here early in the morning, why are there still so many people?"

Ren Yazi's voice sounded a little impatient.

"From your accent, you're not from Chang'an, are you? The Fang family has announced that they want to find a personal maid for their eldest son, aged between ten and seven.

If you are chosen, you can get a reward of fifty taels of silver. This news is not only known to you, but also to the surrounding towns. Look, such a big backyard is crowded with ox carts and horse carriages. You wait patiently, I am in line in front of you. How many people did you bring? Are they of the right age?"

"Three. The oldest is eight years old and the youngest is three."

Ren Yazi answered honestly.

"Three years old? What's the point of bringing such a young child? They want children over seven years old. A three-year-old baby may never see the master's house. It would be a waste to bring him here."

"I'm just trying my luck. If I pick one, I can get fifty taels. I can rest for at least three months."
