My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens
Chapter 48 Your daughter must be looking for you
This is the truth. The second sister is so beautiful that she is the most beautiful girl in the world. Jiang Sanlang, who can seduce the second sister, is also very handsome. Xiaoxia will grow up like the second sister. She is really cute.
Si Muyan responded casually, but her eyes fell on the cloth bag at Mrs. Zhu's feet. Mrs. Zhu had accidentally dropped it when she went to pick up Xiao Xia'er, and it was obvious that she hadn't noticed it herself.
"Mrs. Zhu, is Xiaoxia still feeling unwell? Can you help her?"
"..." Mrs. Zhu had come here today intending to commit suicide, but after being interrupted, the despair in her heart dissipated a lot. And there was no way she could refuse such a lovely Xiaoxia. "Let's go back first."
While she wasn't paying attention, Si Muyan bent down to pick up the cloth bag on the ground and quietly opened it to take a look. Inside were two silk flowers that were so old that they couldn't be any older. It was unknown how many years old they were, and they looked like they would break if touched.
She didn't dare touch it, so she wrapped it up and followed Mrs. Zhu back.
When they got home, Mrs. Zhu gave Xiaoxia a careful massage, which made the little girl feel so comfortable that bubbles kept coming out of her mouth.
Si Muyan reached out to poke the bubbles in Xiaoxia'er's mouth and said with a smile: "Xiaoxia'er is so cute. Look, Mrs. Zhu, she can blow bubbles."
Mrs. Zhu looked at Xiaoxia'er lovingly, but the moment she saw Si Muyan, her face darkened again and she said in a cold voice, "You should study hard."
"I can't learn it." Si Muyan shook her head. "Look, you've been teaching me for two days, and I still haven't learned it."
"Ask your Aunt Jin to come over. She's quite capable."
Si Muyan shook her head: "The family is so busy. We have to run the business, and Aunt Jin has to take care of the housework and take care of my second sister. She can't take care of it all. She can only feed the baby and change diapers. Sigh..."
Having said that, Si Muyan looked at Mrs. Zhu and her eyes lit up.
"Mrs. Zhu, why don't you come to my house and help me? I'll pay you!"
"I'm not going." Mrs. Zhu was even more unhappy. She wrapped Xiaoxia up coldly and said, "Take her back. Don't come here again."
Si Muyan frowned, but didn't force her. She just took out the cloth bag from her sleeve and said, "By the way, Mrs. Zhu, I just found this by the river. Is it yours?"
When Mrs. Zhu saw it, her face changed drastically. She snatched the cloth bag away and tears welled up in her eyes.
Si Muyan said, "This is something very important, right? It fell apart when I picked it up. Granny Zhu, please check to see if it's missing."
Mrs. Zhu quickly opened the cloth bag and saw that the two silk flowers inside were still in good condition, but seemed to be more worn out. She held the silk flowers in her hands and burst into tears.
Si Muyan did not interrupt her. She waited until she had almost finished crying before she slowly spoke, "I heard that Granny Zhu sold her eldest daughter to make a living?"
Granny Zhu wiped away her tears, her eyes a little cold as she looked at Si Muyan: "What do you want to say?"
"I mean, your daughter wasn't that young at that time. She'd been used to doing rough labor since she was little. If she was taught some lessons, she could be sold easily, most likely to a wealthy family as a maid."
Hearing this, Granny Zhu was even more heartbroken: "She was only ten years old at that time, very capable, and considerate of me, especially after their father passed away... My three brothers and one sister were not very old, and I was pregnant with my fourth child. She took care of all the big and small things in the family, but later... later... wuwuwu, my son..."
Si Muyan waited until she finished crying and calmed down before continuing, "I see that you, Mrs. Zhu, are so capable. Your four sons are also good at work and very smart. I think your daughter will be just as smart and capable, right?"
"Yes, she is smarter than her brothers."
Si Muyan smiled and said, "That's good. You know I was the daughter of a wealthy family. I know a lot of things. For example, when it comes to hiring people, this master's family prefers those who are smart and clever. Such people are promoted the fastest."
"This... is..." Mrs. Zhu didn't quite understand what this meant.
Si Muyan explained, "That is, it's easy for her to become someone who is respected by her master. According to her age, she should be a respectable maid by now. Moreover, wealthy families will give respect to slaves who were sold as children, separated from their families, and later became respected, and help them find their families."
"Looking for family?" Mrs. Zhu's eyes lit up.
Si Muyan nodded: "Yes, I think she must be that kind of person, definitely a respectable one, maybe she is looking for you right now."
When Mrs. Zhu heard this, hope glittered in her eyes. So her lotus, now living well, was also looking for her, right?
She immediately shook her head again: "No... How could she find us? We are refugees, wandering around everywhere. She has no idea we are here. She has never even been to Songji Village in Fenghuang County..."
Si Muyan said encouragingly, "It's really hard to find, that's why we haven't found you in so many years. But how can we give up on finding your relatives? She will be no child by then. She will remember your name and the names of your brothers and sisters, and the direction you were traveling. She will definitely try hard to find out. If she searches slowly, she will find you eventually."
Will you ever find it?
Although she felt that what Si Muyan said was not true, she also hoped that it was true, her lotus.
Mrs. Zhu was holding two silk flowers, her eyes were red and she was still crying, but she couldn't stop smiling on her face.
Seeing this, Si Muyan breathed a sigh of relief and walked back with Xiaoxia in her arms.
Once a person has hope, he will not feel that he is in a desperate situation and seek death.
This time he returned home quite late, and everyone in the family was very nervous. When the younger sister saw Si Muyan coming back, she was the first to come forward, holding Xiaoxia in her arms, and carefully checking her. She felt relieved only after making sure that she was fine.
The younger brother asked, "Sister, when we finish eating, I will go take food to Mrs. Zhu."
Si Muyan shook her head: "No, there's no need to bring her food today."
"what?"
Day two.
Just as the three siblings of the Si family were getting ready, Song Erqiang's voice came from the door.
"Yan girl, Wan girl, Xiao An, I'm here."
The younger brother opened the door and saw Song Erqiang, who was grinning foolishly, and called out, "Second Uncle."
Although Song Erqiang was not very smart, he remembered what his brother and his wife said, that he should drive the cart for the three children of the Si family, move things, etc., and help whenever he could.
He didn't know how much money he could make this way, but he knew his brother and wife would be happy.
If they are happy, he is happy.
So when he saw Si Muyan and his younger sister tying the porridge cart to the ox cart and placing two sets of disassembled tables and chairs aside, he went over and carried them up and placed them on the ox cart.
The ox cart can seat about ten people, and with two sets of tables and chairs, it can only accommodate about four or five people. Fortunately, there are only three people in the Si family, and they are all very thin, so it is not crowded.
