After all, Xu Chunjun is a lady, not to mention killing chickens and geese is something that ordinary girls don’t do, so why can she do it?
But the people in the kitchen didn't think so, they just thought she was timid and incompetent.
Mother Pang's scoldings became louder and louder every time, and her scolding words became more and more unpleasant. She even uttered such unpalatable words as "a prostitute", "a son of a little mother", and "a foxy girl who feeds a man".
When Xu Chunjun has grown up to this age, has he ever suffered such humiliation?
Let alone her, even ordinary servants wouldn't be able to bear such words.
But since she agreed to Mrs. Hou Ye's wish, she would persevere no matter what.
I just lowered my head and ignored those dirty words, pretending not to hear them at all.
Mother Pang still had work to do, so she scolded her and turned around and went in.
At this time, Mother Wang came over and said to everyone: "What's wrong with you all having nothing to do?!"
With one word everyone dispersed.
The comprador came over to reconcile the accounts with Mrs. Wang, and they went to the accounting room together.
Xu Chunjun looked at the knife in his hand and then at the duck on the ground, still feeling embarrassed.
"New here, sister, you are a good boy." Wangzi's daughter-in-law, who works as a prostitute, is very extravagant. At first glance, she looks like a man. She walked over and whispered to Xu Chunjun: "Put that duck down and chop it into pieces with a knife."
If it's on its neck, it'll be over."
Xu Chunjun thought about it and thought that this method was really suitable for a novice like her.
Even so, she still didn't go very smoothly when she started. The duck's legs were tied, its wings flapped wildly, its head shook wildly, and it quacked.
In the end, Xu Chunjun could only close his eyes, hold the knife with both hands and chop it off. The duck stopped quacking.
She let out a sigh of relief, thinking that it was finally over.
Unexpectedly, everyone around her looked at her with gloating expressions.
Xu Chunjun groaned inwardly, guessing that he might have gotten into trouble again.
Sure enough, Pang's mother came out later and saw the duck's head and head. She immediately jumped and cursed: "You whore! You dared to faint and die?! How can you kill a duck like this? That blood is so bloody
What a waste! The second young master prefers to drink duck blood soup, you are at the end of your quest for death! See if I don’t beat you to death!"
Holding a long-handled iron spoon in her hand, she caught up and hit Xu Chunjun several times on his body, head, and face, then lifted the duck and dripped the remaining blood into a basin nearby.
Wangzi's wife and others were laughing so hard inside that they almost didn't even move their waists.
She came back home late in the afternoon, and when she saw Xu Chunjun's white and tender face, black grape-like eyes, and spring-onion-like fingers, it was like there was sand in her eyes and thorns in her flesh.
Especially when I saw Xu Chunjun's delicate little feet, I felt itching with hatred.
Her man has always disliked her for being thick-handed and unfeminine. Whenever a good-looking woman walks by on the street, the damn girl will stare at her for a long time.
Who would have thought that now that there is Xu Chunjun in the kitchen, he would naturally take the opportunity to tease her, and it is really fun!
Xu Chunjun was beaten, but she endured the pain and continued to work. She only remembered one thing in her mind: she wanted to rescue her second brother, and it didn't matter if she was wronged.
There seemed to be guests in the house at dinner time, and there were seven or eight more dishes than usual.
People in the kitchen are used to complaining while working, and now they are even yelling and cursing.
Thimble'er is usually a punching bag, but now that Xu Chunjun is here, she has suffered a lot less.
Logically speaking, she should be grateful, or else she should be sympathetic.
Who would have thought that she would also like to try bullying others.
Xu Chunjun walked past her carrying a plate of soaked white fungus, and she deliberately stretched out her foot to trip him.
Fortunately, Xu Chunjun was always paying attention and did not trip over her.
"...Hey," Thimble sniffed, "Next time..."
Xu Chunjun looked back at her. Thimble's mouth seemed to be frightened by something, and she pursed her lips vigorously, trying to take back her buck teeth.
When the person walked away, she looked at Xu Chunjun's back with some confusion, feeling that she might have been in a trance just now.
The main dishes were served along with the staple food, and they were calling for soup and wine, and they didn't stop until three o'clock in the morning.
Xu Chunjun was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, and he didn't care about anything else. He squeezed in the crowd and grabbed a bowl of rice and a spoonful of vegetables.
She thought clearly: Even if she didn't rob, she would still be beaten and scolded, so she might as well eat enough to at least have strength.
"Hey, it's only been half a day to grab the food, why don't you pretend to be a lady?" Naturally, some people ridiculed her, but Xu Chunjun turned a deaf ear. He just walked out with his rice bowl and sat in the corner outside to eat.
After eating less than half a bowl of rice, she raised her head and looked at the stars in the sky, silently making plans in her heart.
Mother Wang looked at her in the room and was making calculations in her mind.
In the afternoon, she went to the front on the pretext of saying hello to Madam.
Naturally, I didn't see my wife. I just talked to the old lady in charge for a long time.
She tentatively asked Xu Chunjun's origins, and the housekeeper said: "I can't say much about this person's origins. Madam has given her orders, so you don't need to ask. You should do whatever you want, and she won't interfere with anything."
.”
Mother Wang felt that Xu Chunjun was different from ordinary servants.
If, as everyone guessed, she was sent here because she offended his wife, then there should be someone who could talk to her so that she would know better.
After all, there is a precedent.
Xu Chunjun had already finished his meal here, washed the dishes and chopsticks with well water, and brought them into the house again.
"These vegetable peels and roots haven't been thrown out yet!" Pang's mother said to Xu Chunjun: "Don't be lazy after eating."
Xu Chunjun has grown so big and has never done such tiring work. He has not rested for almost the whole day. At this time, he is really about to lose his support.
Seeing that she didn't move, Mother Pang started to beat her again. Mother Wang came out from the inner room and said, "That's enough. We are all here to do the work, so why bother beating her all the time."
With Mrs. Wang's words, Xu Chunjun finally felt better.
Naturally, she still had to work, but there were always fewer beatings and scoldings, and no one deliberately assigned her to do more work.
By the time I was really done, it was already midnight.
Everyone beat their shoulders and rubbed their backs, yawned and went back to sleep.
Xu Chunjun boiled hot water in the kitchen, sat by the well outside, washed his hands, face and soaked his feet before getting ready for bed after feeling exhausted.
As soon as I entered the house, I felt that it was full of stench.
Everyone was fast asleep, and their shoes and socks were thrown carelessly on the floor. They probably didn't wash their feet, probably because they were used to it.
Xu Chunjun covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and went to his bed.
Aunt Wen next to her was lying there with her hands and feet tied up, covering half of Xu Chunjun's bedding.
She was fat and big, and her body was even more heavy when she fell asleep. Xu Chunjun couldn't push her, so he had to sleep on her side against the wall.
She was extremely tired that day, so she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow. Normally, the sound of snoring and grinding teeth throughout the room would have been enough for her.
