The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

Chen's mother glanced at Zhou Dajiang who interrupted her, and scared Zhou Dajiang so much that he immediately shut up and dared not interrupt again.

Mrs. Zhang, who was standing by, saw this and spoke up for the girl. "This girl has a miserable life. She didn't stutter before and was a hardworking person. I don't know what dirty tricks she saw, but she got a high fever after returning home, and then she became like this. The owner thought it was bad luck, so he sold her whole family."

After hearing this, Chen's mother nodded and said nothing, motioning to the next group.

The next group to come up was a mother and daughter. Their appearance made it clear they were alike, for they bore a striking resemblance. The mother stepped forward and said, "Greetings to the old lady. My husband's surname is Diao, and we are known as Old Lady Diao. This is my daughter, Yulan. We are from the Xu Mansion in the prefectural capital. Because, because, because I was greedy, I was sold here." Old Lady Diao stopped talking after this.

Mother Chen nodded, and Mrs. Zhang said, "Step aside, next group!"

The next group was a person who stepped forward and answered in a low voice: "My name is Ping'er. I am from Linjia Village in the city. I used to work in the house of Mr. Cui, the richest man in the city. Because I was unwilling to marry the third young master of the Cui family, I was sold here." After saying this, she wiped away her tears delicately.

The last group to come up was a pair of sisters. The elder sister looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, and the younger sister looked about eleven or twelve years old.

The elder sister stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Old Madam, Master is well. My daughter's name is Zhaodi, and my younger sister's name is Pandi. We are both from Linjia Village in the prefectural capital. Our parents gave us these names because they wanted a son. My younger brother was born weak, so they sold us to the Sun Mansion as servants to provide for his medical needs. My younger sister accidentally broke a vase in the old madam's room, so they sold us here."

After everyone finished speaking, Zhou Dajiang looked at his mother-in-law. Mother Chen still had no expression. She looked at the crowd and said, "First of all, let me make it clear that we are not some old ladies, sir. We are just country people. We only hire people back because there is too much work in the mountains and we can't handle it. If there are those who don't want to go to the countryside, they can withdraw on their own."

After Mother Chen finished speaking, the maid from the second group and the mother and daughter from the fourth group voluntarily withdrew. Xinghua from the first group hesitated a bit, but ultimately stayed.

So, only one person each from the first, third and fifth groups, and two sisters from the sixth group remained.

Zhou Dajiang was disappointed. None of his previous rules and regulations were used. He had thought the mother and daughter would stay, but they just walked away.

Chen's mother started the third screening. This time she still asked everyone to answer the same question: why did they choose to stay?

This time, the last group started answering, and the elder sister stood up again and answered: "We sisters have never thought about separating. As long as they want us, we will do any job!" After that, she returned to her original position.

Then came Ping'er from the fifth group. She still spoke in a low voice, "As long as I can have a place to stay, that's all I need. I can do the rough and tiring work." After she said that, she looked up at Zhou Dajiang.

Zhou Dajiang was startled by the look and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Next came the third group of fire maids. They tried to answer, "I am strong, strong, no, no, I am not afraid of doing rough work. And, and, moreover, the people in the country, the country, are nicer, better, than in the city."

Zhou Dajiang, having been glared at by his mother-in-law for interrupting him earlier, didn't dare interrupt again this time. However, listening to the girl finish her words was truly exhausting. Seeing the girl retreat, he breathed a sigh of relief, finally finishing his answer.

When the last apricot blossom was left, she replied, "I used to work on the farm too. I'm quite capable of farm work."

After everyone had answered, Mother Chen raised her hand and pointed at the girl who was cooking the fire. "She stays, and the others can go!"

So Mrs. Zhang and the others retreated.

Unexpectedly, the fire-making girl suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "I, I, I still have my father, mother and brother at home. He, he, they can also do the work, old man."

Mother Chen couldn't bear to listen any longer and interrupted, "Are you planning to tell us there are other people in your family and want us to buy them out as well?"

The fire-making girl nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes."

Mother Chen nodded and said, "Go call them all over here, I'll take a look."

After everyone left, Zhou Dajiang asked in confusion, "Why did you choose her?"

"She is the only sincere person here." Chen's mother replied.

Qi nodded, and my sister still understood everything.

Zhou Dahe became increasingly confused as he listened, and said, "Those other groups are quite sincere too!"

Qi answered for her elder sister, "Neither. The first girl seems honest, but she hesitated in the middle. She probably doesn't want to go to the countryside. If there is another choice, I believe she will definitely choose the latter.

That delicate girl is obviously not here to work."

Zhou Dahe was puzzled. "If she wasn't going to work, why did she go?"

Qi smiled. This idiot, it seems, won’t be able to see clearly unless he is pointed out clearly.

So he asked, "Who is she showing off to with that pretentious, pitiful look of hers?"

Zhou Dahe didn't understand. "Who is this for?"

Qi looked at Zhou Dajiang. Zhou Dajiang touched his nose and asked doubtfully, "Am I still so charming?"

Seeing the two brothers fighting like a hammer, Qi explained, "The mistress of the country house is also a mother. If she takes your brother, won't she not have to work?"

Zhou Dahe had a rare moment of clarity. "If she doesn't want to work anymore, why not just devote herself to that illegitimate young master? Why would she go to the countryside?"

"You only half listen to her words. Looking at her seductive look, how do you know she didn't seduce you and ended up being sold out?"

Zhou Dahe was silent this time. It really made sense.

Mother Chen continued, "I know that rich man surnamed Cui. He's a very kind man. His third son is a concubine's son, but he's handsome, well-educated, and extremely respectful to his wife. I guess this Ping'er had some evil intentions, so she sold him out."

Qi also echoed, "Exactly, you didn't see the look she gave Dajiang. I saw it clearly from the side, and it was hooked."

Zhou Dajiang got goosebumps when she said that. Isn't this the green tea bitch from the TV series? I didn't expect to meet one in ancient times.

But he had a good impression of the elder sister of the last pair of sisters, so he asked, "Why did those sisters fail to be selected?"

Mother Chen explained, for once, "The old lady of the Sun Mansion is an old acquaintance of your Aunt Cheng and I. She's a very soft-hearted old lady. If it were according to what that girl said, she would never sell them out. So, she must have been lying."

Zhou Dahe, the city is full of tricks, I'd better go back to the countryside!

Zhou Dajiang still wasn't used to communicating with a little "stutterer," so he said, "That fire-making girl is nice, but she talks too much, which makes me anxious."

Mother Chen: "When we get home, we can ask Sisi to teach her to read more. She should always carry a notebook and a pen with her. If she's in a hurry, she can just write with a pen, right?"

After everyone finished talking, the fire-making girl came in with her family.
