Huang Wanzhen reiterated: "You can't tell my mother that I've untied my feet, otherwise I won't want you anymore."
Xiulan said nervously, "No, I won't tell you."
Huang Wanzhen was satisfied and continued to walk forward. "It's okay. If you can't walk anymore, you can call a taxi."
A few days ago, she sorted out the original owner's property and found not only gold jewelry, but also more than 30 dollars.
According to her principle of doing things, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Since she knows that the Huang family will be broken up in the future, she should make money and save money early to prepare for future life.
But after getting familiar with the place, she found that she couldn't even leave the house without the permission of her elders, let alone make money or save money.
She originally wanted to lie low and follow the plot of the original book, and then make a move after marrying into the Zheng family.
But after accepting the original owner's memories, she also accepted her feelings, and she developed a deep affection for Huang Dongshi, Huang Wanshu and others.
She couldn't do anything, so she just watched them walk into the fire pit.
Moreover, she was only fifteen years old at the time and was still a woman. If she lost her family and encountered any problems, she would probably be at the mercy of others.
There are wars everywhere these days, public security is very bad, there are hooligans everywhere, and there are prostitution, gambling and drugs.
Not only is she beautiful, but she also has bound feet. Without someone to protect her, she will most likely be sold to a brothel.
If that really happens, the end will be even worse than the original owner.
Since you plan to stay in the Huang family, you have to find a way to live a good life.
"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale! A fight has broken out! Another fight has broken out somewhere. Do you want one? Do you want one?"
Huang Wanzhen heard the shouting and quickly turned around and waved her hand, "Here, I want it."
A little boy about ten years old came running over. "Four copper coins for one, seven copper coins for two. How many do you want?"
Huang Wanzhen: "How many kinds of newspapers do you have here?"
Newsboy: "Two, Xinminbao and Ta Kung Pao. If you want other newspapers, I can get them for you."
Huang Wanzhen shook her head, "Let's take these two first."
As he said that, he took out seven copper coins and handed them over.
After the newsboy left, Xiulan asked in confusion, "Miss, you can't read, why did you buy a newspaper?"
Huang Wanzhen was stunned for a moment, then recovered and said, "I've been learning housekeeping from my mother recently, and I've noticed she only uses graphics to represent things, which only works at home. I've put so much effort into learning, but it's still not applicable outside. What a waste."
"I'm thinking of learning to write. Then I can record my accounts in writing. How great would that be!"
Xiulan pulled her hair in confusion, "Oh oh."
It was only when she took the newspaper home that Huang Wanzhen discovered that it was written in traditional Chinese characters.
This made her very distressed. In this era, she was also half illiterate!
It seems like I really need to learn how to write.
It is unrealistic to ask Old Master Huang and Master Huang to teach.
Then you can only buy a dictionary and learn it by yourself.
After deciding on the direction, Huang Wanzhen decided to go out for a walk, find a bookstore, and buy a dictionary.
Just as she was about to get up and change back into Xiulan's coarse clothes, there was a knock on the door.
"Dong-dong-dong-dong"
"Second Miss, Madam wants you to come over."
Xiuzhu's voice came through the door.
Huang Wanzhen gathered her clothes into a ball and stuffed them under the bed.
"knew."
Huang Wanzhen responded as she walked over and opened the door.
After walking a few steps outside, she turned her head and said to Xiuzhu calmly, "Please help me, my feet hurt a lot."
Xiuzhu quickly stepped forward to support her, "Second Miss, you are too polite. I am not worthy of being called a young lady."
Huang Wanzhen smiled kindly, "I just went to my mother's this morning, and I didn't hear her say anything. Why is she calling me now?"
Xiuzhu lowered her head and said nothing.
Huang Wanzhen's expression remained unchanged, but her voice was timid. "Oh! It was nothing, but now that you haven't said anything, it's made me nervous. I'm afraid that Mother is going to scold me because of something."
Xiuzhu: "How could that be? Madam loves the Second Miss the most."
Huang Wanzhen reached out and held her hand that was supporting her, "Good Xiuzhu, just give me a reminder."
Xiuzhu hesitated and said, "The master took away fifty dollars today, and the mistress asked you to come over. I guess she wants to cut down on the expenses of the mansion."
After Huang Wanzhen came here, she had not seen the father of this body, but she had heard people talk about his whereabouts, which were either the Eight Great Hutongs, casinos or opium dens.
If Huang Shuhuai were not still alive, it would probably be even more exaggerated.
Huang Wanzhen suppressed the anger in her heart, adjusted her facial expression, and walked into the hall with a smile.
"Mom, you're looking for me?"
Huang Dong pointed to the chair below with a tired look, "Sit down."
Huang Wanzhen didn't sit down as she was told. Instead, she stepped forward with a concerned look and asked, "Mom, why do you look so bad?"
The tears that Mrs. Huang had been holding back suddenly flowed down.
"Your father has taken all the money from the public treasury. Now that the weather is getting hot, everyone in the mansion needs to make summer clothes. What should I do?"
"This month's salary hasn't been paid yet. Life is so unbearable, wuwuwu..."
Mrs. Huang Dong cried inconsolably.
Huang Wanzhen took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears with a look of heartache, but the words that came out of her mouth pierced her heart, "Mom, don't think about the monthly allowance for now, think about the food in grandpa's yard tomorrow."
"Although Grandfather is picky about food, we can't just give him noodles and rice! We have to serve him at least two dishes."
"But the vegetables in our house are purchased every day to keep them fresh."
"You just said that the public school has no money. What about grandfather's food money for tomorrow..."
Mrs. Huang took the handkerchief from Huang Wanzhen and wiped her face carefully. "It won't cost much to buy food. At most, you can get some money from me first. You can't treat the old man harshly."
Huang Wanzhen curled her lips, "You figured it out so quickly, using your own money to fill the hole in the Huang family? Then I just worried about you for nothing."
Huang Dong gave her an annoyed look, "What do you mean you're worried about me for nothing? I'm your mother, isn't it normal for you to worry about me?!"
Huang Wanzhen: "Okay, you're my mother, so you should make me clothes. My clothes were too short last summer. You should at least make me two sets of clothes this year, right?"
Mrs. Huang's brows, which had just relaxed, immediately frowned again.
"Also, my grandfather is old. As his daughter-in-law, you can't be unfilial. You have to do at least two sets of clothes for him."
Mrs. Huang looked at Huang Wanzhen hesitantly, as if she wanted to say something.
Huang Wanzhen continued to talk, "My sister is 28 years old this year. She should have been married a long time ago, but you and my father just don't care about her."
As she spoke, she began to cry, "You don't care about her, but I, your sister, do! Since you've let me take charge of this, I can't treat her badly, at least for two lifetimes!"
"I don't care about the Second Aunt. I shouldn't support her anyway, but the Third Sister is from the Huang family. Even if I side with her, I can't be too obvious. So I'll just do it."
