There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 30
[Chapter 30, Wang Maner]
“Are you talking to me?”
Daohua pointed at herself with a look of astonishment, looked around, and found that the girl was staring at him straightly, with pleading and hope shining in her eyes.
Selling one’s body to bury one’s father, according to the routine, shouldn’t one choose a young master or something?
Hearing Daohua’s question, the girl immediately kowtowed, hitting the ground with a bang, “I beg you to buy me!”
Daohua didn’t speak, and looked at her carefully, only to find that the man’s eyes were very bright , there is a determination and stubbornness that is different from ordinary daughters.
The people around looked over one after another, laughing wantonly and pointing.
Yan Wentao was a little nervous, pulled Daohua behind him, looked at the prostitute girl who was still kowtowing, and hurriedly said: “Stop kowtowing, it’s cold, don’t kowtow, our family has no shortage of servants, you can find Others!”
After speaking, he hurriedly pulled Daohua and quickly squeezed out of the crowd.
At this time, the chariots and horses of the Yan family also arrived.
“Isn’t it cold outside? Hurry up and get in the car!” Mrs. Yan’s voice came from the carriage.
Hearing this, Yan Wentao hugged Daohua’s creaking nest and carried her to the carriage.
Before getting into the car, Daohua turned her head and glanced at the girl who sold her body to bury her father, just in time to meet the girl’s gaze that she refused to look back for a long time.
“Hey”
Daohua got into the carriage and was silent for a while. Before the carriage started, she looked at Mrs. Li: “Mother, I don’t have a maid by my side, why don’t we buy that girl?
” Mrs. Li has been looking for a maid for her. After all, Ping Tong is her big maid and has to be responsible for many things, so she can’t follow her all the time.
Mrs. Li didn’t immediately object.
It’s just a maid, and the Yan family can afford it.
But she was a little hesitant to serve her daughter by her side.
Glancing at Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Li thought for a while and said, “Have you thought about it? Our family only assigns one servant to the young lady and master. If you choose her, you can’t change her in the future.”
Daohua nodded .
She just took a look at it. The girl’s knuckles are thick, and she looks like she is used to work.
The girls around her don’t need to be too smart, as long as they are obedient and able to work.
Mrs. Li saw that Mrs. Yan was silent and didn’t object, and saw her daughter looking straight at her, thinking that if her daughter didn’t use it well in the future, she would just change it, so she lifted the curtain and said a few words to the boy driving the car.
The boy received the signal, and immediately walked towards the girl with the silver.
Mrs. Li: “Let’s go, He Wuhui will take care of this matter.”
Daohua was worried, and opened the curtain to look behind.
Seeing that the prostitute left with the servants of the family, she put down the curtain of the car.
“You!”
Old lady Yan tapped Daohua’s forehead, “When will you change your meddling behavior?”
Daohua took the old lady’s arm: “I didn’t want to meddle, but She spoke to me and kowtowed to me. I can’t just turn a blind eye.” In fact, it was the girl’s stubborn and unwilling eyes that moved her, making her want to help.
The backyard of the county government.
Mrs. Li took Old Lady Yan, Daohua, and Sanfang to inspect Zhuangzi, and bought back a maid who sold her body to bury her father. Soon, other people found out.
Because of what happened two days ago, even if someone was dissatisfied, they did not dare to speak out.
That evening, after dinner, Dao Hua returned to her room, and Ping Tong led a maid to come up.
“Slave servant please greet the eldest girl!” Daohua
looked at the maid who was kneeling on the ground, and after a little thought she knew who she was, and asked, “Is your father buried yet?”
Wang Man’er nodded: “It’s buried , thank you girl for helping me.”
Daohua: “Okay, stop kneeling, get up!”
Wang Man’er stood up slowly, with her head lowered, her actions and demeanor were not flinching.
Daohua looked at her carefully and cleaned her up. She found that the girl was not bad, standing upright, she looked a bit heroic.
“How old are you, what is your name, and where do you live? Why did you sell yourself to bury your father? Are there other relatives in the family?”
Wang Man’er: “If you are a girl, this servant is thirteen this year.” Daohua’s
eyes widened: “You are only thirteen ?” This height is even taller than Ping Tong, she always thought she was at least fifteen or sixty-seven.
Wang Man’er: “My servant followed my father, and she grows taller.”
Daohua nodded, “Go on.”
Wang Man’er: “My maidservant’s name is Wang Maner, and there are no relatives at home. My father is an escort, and my mother is here. ” I am not here soon after I was born, and I have been walking with my father all these years without a home.” Daohua
: “Since your father is an escort, he should be good at it, why is it?”
Even in a calamity year, a capable person should be able to Let’s get something to eat.
Wang Man’er looked sad: “We encountered a refugee riot on the road, and the goods were robbed. The owner of the goods asked my father and them to pay for it. We couldn’t afford it, so the owner of the goods asked someone to beat my father and them.”
Daohua: “Your father was robbed. Someone beat him to death?”
Wang Man’er nodded, then shook his head: “My father was seriously injured after being beaten by the consignor, and he had no money for medical treatment, and he suffered from hunger, so he couldn’t get sick anymore.” Speaking of Sobbing directly here.
Seeing this, Daohua and Pingtong looked at Wang Maner sympathetically.
After Wang Maner calmed down, Daohua asked curiously, “I ask you, why did you ask me to buy you when there were so many people at the scene today?” Where is she?
Wang Man’er looked at Daohua: “Others looked at me and the other two girls as if they were looking at the goods, but the girl was really pitying us.”
She has also learned a little bit from traveling with her father all these years . It depends on people’s ability.
There were so many people at the scene, only in the eyes of this girl could she see intolerance and pity.
It was because of that pity that she took the initiative to sell herself.
Hearing this, Ping Tong smiled: “Your eyes are really good. Isn’t our eldest girl a kind-hearted person? In the future, you have to serve her attentively.”
Wang Man’er looked at Daohua solemnly: “My father and I I said before that people must keep their promises, and the girl helped me bury my father, so my life naturally belongs to the girl.”
Seeing her speak so solemnly, Daohua was stunned for a moment: “It’s not as serious as you said. Seriously, you just need to do what I told you to do.”
Ping Tong looked at Daohua, and said with a smile, “Girl, why don’t you give her a name?” Daohua
: “Doesn’t she have a name? Ping Tong: ”
She has sold herself to the Yan family now, and the previous ones are not counted. Of course, the name must be taken by the new master, which means a new beginning.”
Daohua shook her head: “It’s fine if she doesn’t have a name, since she has , then call it that.”
Hearing this, Wang Maner glanced at Daohua gratefully.
Her name was chosen by her parents, and she entrusted her parents’ love for her, and she didn’t want to change it at all.
After that, Daohua asked Wang Maner some more things, and then asked Pingtong to take her down to rest.
Before leaving, Pingtong looked at Daohua: “Eldest girl, you have to go to bed early, Madam ordered, from tomorrow onwards, you have to go to Master Qin’s class with the second girl.”
Daohua waved her hand: “Got it!”
