Since Chen Ahua had decided to follow Su Nanxi, she was determined to burn her bridges and forget about the past, and to study new things diligently.
She had to start from scratch, but luckily she wasn't stupid and worked hard enough, so she learned quickly and soon got into character.
Gradually, she got the hang of it, knowing what to do, what to say, and when to keep her mouth shut and head down.
She has no choice but to try to change things. She's already come this far, and turning back is not an option for her. No matter what lies ahead, she has to face it head-on!
This wasn't just something she said casually. Ever since Su Nanxi helped her several times, she had had this idea, but at the time she just hadn't thought of how to put it into practice.
Later, she overheard people in the village talking about selling themselves into servitude as maids. That's when she had this idea: if she really couldn't survive, she would sell herself!
It's better to sell myself into the Mo family as a maid than to be sold by my unscrupulous mother to someone else as a concubine!
At least if she sold herself, she would have a choice, but if her grandmother handled it, her later life would be filled with darkness!
Her grandmother had done such things before; her eldest cousin was sold and reportedly lived a very miserable life!
Not a single penny of the money went to her parents; it all ended up in her grandmother's hands, which she held tightly!
When people are driven to the brink of desperation, they don't care about anything else!
Chen Ahua even went so far as to sell the entire family of three into slavery to the Mo family. That way, although they would lose their freedom, at least they would have food to eat and would no longer have to suffer endless torment!
The Mo family won't treat them badly!
Fortunately, the family eventually pulled through, but their desire to repay the debt never faded; instead, it grew stronger and stronger.
Upon learning that Su Nanxi was going on a long trip and might not be back for a while, Chen Ahua felt it was time and, without much thought, decided to go with Su Nanxi.
Even without signing a contract, she already considered herself a servant, only wanting to do her best to help Su Nanxi.
Therefore, she is very strict with herself, forcing herself to adapt and grow quickly so that she won't hold anyone back and can truly help Su Nanxi.
Su Nanxi saw this and was fairly satisfied with Chen Ahua, but didn't show it much.
She didn't like being called "Miss," and it bothered her, so she asked people to call her "Girl."
It's not that such a name doesn't exist, so it's not abrupt or strange.
Chen Ahua quickly changed her tune, no longer calling her Su Su, and began to keep her distance and observe the proper etiquette.
The group disguised themselves and did not attract much attention.
The journey was long, and we traveled by horse-drawn carriage, which was specially equipped with shock-absorbing devices to make the ride more comfortable and less bumpy and tiring.
Nothing major happened along the way—no assassinations or robberies, but minor incidents were bound to occur.
However, these are all trivial matters and don't require much effort to resolve.
"The spring flowers are in full bloom, and the scenery is so beautiful! It's all so green and lush, it's very pleasing to the eye! What have you planted on the mountain after the spring planting?"
During a break, Su Nanxi looked at the opposite mountain and asked Mo Qinghe a question.
Chen Ahua consciously stepped aside, not wanting to disturb her.
Mo Qinghe, standing next to Su Nanxi, also carefully looked at the opposite side. "Perhaps they're planting some kind of fruit tree saplings!"
Actually, he didn't know either.
Su Nanxi understood that she had just said it casually, and had asked it out of the blue after seeing it.
So I didn't come up with a specific answer. In short, it's a unique feature of this place.
After getting into the carriage, he asked Chen Ahua, "Does your family grow sweet potatoes, corn, or similar crops?"
Chen Ahua nodded, "Yes, they've all been planted! My parents have been looking forward to it for so long. As soon as they heard that there were seeds and seedlings available, they went to buy them immediately and went to cultivate the wasteland as soon as they got back. They planted them all before they left and fertilized them twice. They're growing so well!"
Su Nanxi nodded slightly, "That's good!"
I won't be in dire straits in the future. If I work hard, I can still earn some money.
The Mo family started spring plowing early, and many people in the village followed their lead, believing that following the Mo family would be the right thing to do!
The local residents were very confused, but they also learned from their experience. So, even people from the neighboring villages watched how the villagers of Changna Village did things!
There are benefits and money to be made, so you have to be smart!
I didn't understand before and missed too many opportunities to exchange money. I can't just keep being silly and letting opportunities slip away!
Su Nanxi recalled that before they left, many people planted a lot of new crops.
With proper care, there shouldn't be too much to worry about.
Next, it's their battlefield; let them do whatever they want.
The capital is in sight; we will arrive soon.
The group had mixed feelings; they were happy and excited, curious and thrilled, but also nervous and scared!
They weren't there for sightseeing, so they felt a bit heavy-hearted and uneasy.
Chen Ahua has been able to control her emotions. She is no longer like an innocent little girl who is overjoyed at the sight of the bustling world, and even shows curiosity and excitement on her face.
She was much calmer, lowering her head to suppress all her emotions, secretly happy and joyful.
I thought I would arrive smoothly, but unexpectedly, something happened at the end!
They encountered a classic scene: selling themselves into servitude to bury their father!
Su Nanxi was puzzled as to why it was more common for young women to sell themselves to bury their fathers than for men to do so.
Are they all only daughters?
Where have all my sons gone?
She didn't want to get involved. Whether it was true or false, it didn't matter to her; she didn't have time to care too much.
Unfortunately, this was the only passable road, and it was blocked by the crowd, making it impossible to move forward.
After waiting for quite a while, the crowd still didn't disperse and remained there watching the spectacle.
Su Nanxi sighed. After watching for so long, he finally stepped forward and helped the girl solve the problem!
They just watch the drama unfold without offering any help!
Waiting indefinitely wasn't a solution, so Su Nanxi lifted the curtain and peeked into the bustling area.
"I'll go down and take a look!"
After saying that, he lowered the curtain, bent down, and got out of the car.
Mo Qinghe then followed the carriage, turning back to instruct Yan Feng and the others to keep an eye on the carriage and Chen Ahua as well.
Hu Ba wanted to go, but ultimately refrained from doing so.
If you're unfamiliar with the area, it's best to give up the idea and avoid joining in the fun; you shouldn't cause trouble.
Su Nanxi squeezed through the crowd and went to the front. She observed carefully for a while and concluded that the story of selling oneself into servitude to bury one's father was probably true.
The girl had a spirited look and didn't seem like a weak person. She stood up straight, and her eyes didn't show any pitiful or coquettishness. Hmm, she seemed like a good person!
I'm not the kind of person who tries to gain sympathy or pity by using this as an excuse to curry favor with others!
Her eyes didn't search for those rich young men, nor did she deliberately show any intention to seduce them.
It seems they must have really encountered a problem and were forced to resort to this desperate measure.
"Girl, have you been selling yourself for ten years?"
"Yes! That's right!"
What skills does that girl possess?
"I know some kung fu; carrying loads, chopping wood, and doing heavy work are no problem for me!"
