"Jiang Nian, I want to discuss something with you, is that ok?"
Jiang Nian smiled, "Look at what Uncle Zhou said. If you have any problem, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can." If I can't help, you can't force me to do so.
Village Chief Zhou laughed even more happily, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes. "It's like this, something happened to Xiaoju's family. You have seen that child before. She is an obedient and sensible child. It's just that there are some misunderstandings with her family. I want to arrange for her to stay with you for a few days, and by the way, she can also help you look after your house. What do you think?"
This is not a big deal. Besides, the house she lives in was built by villagers. Although it is used for her medical treatment, it is also the property of the village.
"sure."
Village Chief Zhou hadn't left yet. He was melancholy for a long time before he managed to say, "She's old enough to get married in our countryside. She won't bother you for too long."
Forget it, everyone has their own destiny, and this is all he can do to help.
As for what will happen in the future, it all depends on her luck.
A 16-year-old girl will be married in less than two years. No matter how difficult the days are, she can always get through it and everything will be fine after she gets married.
Jiang Nian was still puzzled.
Zhou Xiaoju doesn't look very old, maybe thirteen or fourteen at most. How can she get married so early?
Not long after, Village Chief Zhou brought Zhou Xiaoju over.
She was obviously a little restrained, holding only a piece of clothing in her hand, without even a piece of cloth to wrap it.
Village Chief Zhou was also a little embarrassed. "I'll go get some food later. You can eat it first, and then use your work points to make up for it when the food is distributed next year."
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhou." Zhou Xiaoju is of a relatively low generation in the village.
Village Chief Zhou gave her a few more instructions, asking her to work harder here and listen to Jiang Nian before leaving.
"You can stay in the consulting room, but you can draw a curtain in that room during the day."
After Jiang Nian finished speaking, Zhou Xiaoju went in.
She had nothing to pack, and when she was kicked out she was only left with a set of tattered clothes, which were her mother's clothes when she was alive.
She only had this set of clothes, and it was already worn out.
It rained a little the day before yesterday, and today is a sunny day, but the road is still a bit muddy.
Zhou Xiaoju came out and asked her, "Doctor Jiang, is there anything I can do?"
"Can you cook?" she asked, adding, "Make sure it's delicious, not boiled."
Zhou Xiaoju lowered her head in embarrassment.
Boiling vegetables is the most common way of cooking because it saves oil. She has been eating this way since she was a child. Maybe she can learn it, but it is difficult to ask someone to make something that she has never eaten or seen before.
As expected, Jiang Nian was helpless and asked again, "Can you read?"
"I know some of them. I went to school there before they divorced." At that time, she was still a child loved by her parents. Her younger brother was born later, and although her grandparents disliked her because she was a girl, they never treated her badly.
All the changes started when the man saved the city's leader and got a job in the city.
He clearly said that he would take them to the city to live a good life once they were settled, and that they were his motivation to work hard. However, within a year, he insisted on divorcing his mother.
My younger brother was born a few months after they divorced. At that time, her mother hadn't been pregnant for many years and didn't know she was pregnant when they divorced.
Later I found out that he had a woman outside and married another woman after the divorce. She gave birth to a son when she was eight months old, who was just over a month younger than my brother.
He said that he met the woman through someone else's introduction after he divorced his mother. Anyone with eyes can see that they must have had this going on for a long time.
That child was not born prematurely, but was born out of wedlock.
But her mother was too cowardly and didn't dare to make a fuss at that time, otherwise she wouldn't have ended up like this.
Jiang Nian went back to the room, took out a cookbook and handed it to her, "Study hard. If you are willing, I will be responsible for making money in the future, and you will be responsible for cooking and doing housework. I can support you, provided that you can still satisfy me. Of course, there is a prerequisite, that you have to cook delicious food. Can you do it?"
