Liu Jinshi was anxious when she saw this. She hoped the child would not do anything stupid at this time. This matter concerned her whole life. She held Jinqiao's hand and said, "Jinqiao, tell Miss Su that you have made up your mind. This is what the eldest aunt meant."
Seeing that Jin Qiao looked conflicted and confused, Su Wenyue didn't want to push her too much, so she decided to let her think it over for herself.
"How about this, take Jin Qiao to wash up, change clothes, and eat something first. Then Jin Qiao can tell me the decision she has made. After all, this is a major event that concerns her whole life, so it's normal for her to give it some thought."
"That's right, that's right." Liu Jinshi responded quickly, and also wanted to take this opportunity to persuade her niece.
Su Wenyue took out a set of clothes from the box as she spoke. It was originally made for Liu's daughter, Han Xiaohua. Xiaohua was seven years old this year. Although she was a few years younger than Jin Qiao, the two were of similar height, so it was just the right size for Jin Qiao to wear.
"This is a new dress I just made. It looks like Jinqiao should be able to wear it. Give it to her. Don't want the one she's wearing. It's too worn out."
"This, this is so embarrassing. Our Jinqiao is just a poor country girl. How can she use such nice clothes?" Although Liu Jinshi was worldly-wise and smooth-talking, she was not ungrateful. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so focused on thinking about Jinqiao. Jinqiao had already begged others for help, so how could she accept their things? She wasn't that shameless.
"It's okay, just accept it. No matter what Jin Qiao decides, she will stay in my Su family. It's not too much to give her a set of clothes, as long as she works hard in the future. Besides, the clothes Jin Qiao is wearing are so torn that they can't be worn anymore." Su Wenyue didn't say that Jin Qiao's clothes were more torn than a beggar's. The only thing that made Jin Qiao look like a non-beggar was that the torn clothes were clean. It can be seen that this little girl is really diligent and loves cleanliness.
Jin Qiao was brought by Liu's sister-in-law from her mother's side. Liu took Jin Qiao to wash up on her own initiative. Su Wenyue thought that since she had said it herself, she naturally could not use the public food. She took out flour from her room and went to the kitchen to make a few bowls of noodles. She brought one bowl to her mother-in-law, and the remaining two bowls were for Liu Jin and Jin Qiao.
As expected, clothes make the man. After she was washed and put on new clothes, the pitiful and ugly girl suddenly turned into a pretty and lovely girl, following Liu Jinshi obediently.
"Eat quickly. This noodle is specially made for you. Sister-in-law Liu must be hungry after traveling. Let's eat together." Su Wenyue invited Liu Jinshi and Jin Qiao to sit down and brought the noodles over. The fragrant shredded pork noodles were topped with some chopped green onions. It was so appetizing that even Liu was almost drooling.
"Then I won't be polite." Liu Jin was really hungry at this moment. In order to hurry to bring her niece to the Han family, she didn't have lunch at noon. She only took two pancakes, and she and her niece ate one each with water. She had been hungry for a long time, and when she saw this big bowl of fragrant shredded pork noodles, she couldn't resist it and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.
Yang Juxiang and her daughter came over when they smelled the fragrance, thinking someone was cooking for themselves. They saw Liu Jinshi and Jin Qiao were eating happily but there was no portion for them, and they felt very uncomfortable.
"Fourth son's wife, I didn't have enough for lunch, and I'm a little hungry now. Do you have any noodles left? Please give me a bowl. It smells delicious." Yang Juxiang acted like an elder in front of Su Wenyue, and sat at the table with Jiang Chunlan, waiting for Su Wenyue to serve them the noodles.
Su Wenyue was speechless when she saw Yang Juxiang and her daughter. Naturally, she would not pay attention to Yang Juxiang's request. She sneered and said, "I'm sorry, I only made the right amount of noodles. There is no more. If you want to eat, you have to make it yourself."
"Su Wenyue, we are also guests of the Han family. This is how you entertain guests. My mother is hungry. Go and make her a bowl of noodles. You don't want me to invite my aunt over and ask her to ask you to cook it herself, do you?" Jiang Chunlan said bossily. Perhaps it was Su Wenyue's evasive attitude in the past two days that made her mistakenly think that Su Wenyue was afraid of them, so she was a little arrogant.
"It's not time to eat yet. I thought I cooked so much food at noon, and most of it went into your stomachs, you should be full. Why are you hungry again now? You really can eat a lot!" Liu had long been fed up with it, so how could she bear it? She was sarcastic without any politeness.
"You!" Jiang Chunlan didn't want to argue with Liu, so she looked at Su Wenyue and said, "Su Wenyue, just tell me whether you are going to do it or not. Believe it or not, I will go find my aunt right now."
Su Wenyue didn't bother to argue with Jiang Chunlan at all. She ignored Jiang Chunlan's words, said a few words to Liu Jinshi and went straight back to her room. Jiang Chunlan was very angry, but she couldn't really go find Yangshi. Moreover, she could see that her aunt was biased towards Su Wenyue as her daughter-in-law. It was not certain who she would speak for when the time came.
Liu Jinshi and Jin Qiao were quite fast and finished their noodles soon before coming over.
"What do you think, Jin Qiao, what choice do you want to make?" Su Wenyue also wanted to know what Jin Qiao would choose. However, since she said that she could work in the Su family without selling her body, Jin Qiao was not stupid and should choose not to sign the death contract.
"Qiaoqiao, tell Miss Su your decision as your aunt told you." Liu Jin said with a smile. When she had instructed Jinqiao before, Jinqiao had been listening without saying a word. She must have taken her words to heart. Besides, Jinqiao was not stupid. How could she not know what to choose that was good for herself?
"Ms. Su, I've made up my mind. I want to sell myself to the Su family. Please help me!" Jin Qiao knelt on the ground again and said firmly.
"You'd better think about it carefully. This is a matter that concerns your entire life. If you sign a death contract, you can't regret or change it. Besides, you have a better decision." Su Wenyue wanted to confirm it again after hearing Jin Qiao's answer. To be honest, she was really surprised by Jin Qiao's choice. She didn't know what this child was thinking.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Liu Jinshi didn't quite understand what was said just now, but now that she had reacted, the smile on her face turned into anxiety: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Didn't you promise your aunt not to sell your body? Why are you going back on your word now? You should know that if you sell your body, your life will no longer be your own."
Jin Qiao turned around and kowtowed to Liu Jinshi: "I will always remember the kindness of my aunt, but I have made up my mind. If I don't sell myself, my stepmother will not let me go even if I am in the Su family. Besides, after going through so much, I have figured it out and want to make a clean break with that family."
