After Huo Xi inspected the shop, she began to deliver letters to the people in the exile village.
The rest of the letters and objects were sent out by Tayue, and she was going to personally help Shao Ji deliver the letters to his daughter.
I heard that Shao Ji said that his daughter had corresponded with him a few years ago, but the contact had been cut off for some reason in the past two years. Incoming letters were like a stone ox in the sea, and there was no reply at all. The couple could not eat well, and they could not sleep well.
I couldn't sleep well either, thinking about it all the time.
Huo Xi sympathized with their pain of missing their daughter. After all, this was the only one of their children left alive.
Unexpectedly, Tu Yue delivered all the letters very smoothly, and received many people's return gifts. Knowing that her family had reliable channels for delivering letters, many people even wrote replies to ask her to help deliver the letters.
When I got to Huo Xi, things didn't go well.
She went to the Dong family in person and said she was looking for Mrs. Dong's second wife. When the gatekeeper saw that she didn't even have a greeting card, he dismissed her and didn't even pass the message for her. It wasn't until she stuffed money again that he came.
A maid of Mrs. Dong's second wife.
She talked to the maid for a few words, but the more she heard, the more something seemed wrong.
"What's your wife's last name?"
The girl stared at her eyes: "You, who are you from? You don't understand the rules at all. You come to see someone and ask my wife's last name! Are you here to entertain us? My family is an official family! Someone is here!"
The little girl was very stylish. When she saw it, she immediately called someone to drive Huo Xi and others away. After receiving Huo Xi's look, Vanilla hurriedly stuffed her with another purse.
The little girl weighed the purse in her hand and put it into her sleeve with a satisfied expression.
"Listen, my wife's surname is Sheng. Don't get the wrong person."
Huo Xi was stunned for a moment and then realized, "Oh, I really found the wrong person. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for bothering you."
The girl took her two purses and saw that she had just found the wrong person. She just glared at her without saying much, turned around and went into the house.
"Girl, Mrs. Dong's surname is obviously Shao, why is her surname Sheng? Have we really made a mistake?" Vanilla looked confused.
Huo Xi looked at the plaque on the door and frowned. Vanilla and Xia He also looked at the door. It was clearly the Dong Mansion. "Girl, we found the right one."
Huo Xi did not say anything, but took the two girls and Tayue to find a side door.
After waiting there for a while, I saw that all the people coming in and out were delivering various things to the house, such as vegetables or firewood. I waited for a while until no one was delivering anything at the door, and then I took the two maids away.
passed.
A man who looked like a boy was about to close the door, and Vanilla hurriedly ran over and stuffed a heavy purse into his hand: "Brother, we want to ask you about someone."
The boy usually only guarded the back door and had never even been to the front door a few times. How could anyone have stuffed such a heavy purse for him? He was so happy that he immediately put it into his sleeves and nodded: "Young lady, feel free to ask."
"We want to find Mrs. Shao, who lives in the second room of your house. I wonder if it can be convenient?"
"Mrs. Shao? From the second bedroom?"
The boy tilted his head and thought for a long time, "Oh, that Mrs. Shao has been dead for two years. Where did you find her? Who is she? I haven't received any such news!"
"Ah?" Someone died?
Huo Xi's heart skipped a beat.
"Is Mrs. Shao's daughter Chuxue here?"
The boy was a little hesitant. When Huo Xi saw this, he winked at Vanilla, and Vanilla stuffed another bag into his pocket, and the boy quickly put it away.
I looked left and right and saw no one, so I came over and whispered, "Miss Chuxue is in the village." Then he quickly said an address.
Seeing that he was keeping secrets, Huo Xi didn't ask any more questions. She thanked him and turned to leave.
Early the next morning, I took the two maids and Ta Yue to the Zhuangzi that the boy mentioned.
On the Zhuangzi, Dong Chuxue was carrying a large basin of dirty clothes and walking towards the mouth of the well, staggering a little.
Luo Shi, the mother-in-law of Zhuangtou Dong Jin, thought she was walking too slowly, so she cursed: "It's already three o'clock in the morning, and my clothes haven't been washed yet! How long will it take to wash these clothes if you keep walking like this? The sun has already set.
The clothes haven’t been washed yet! They were worn out by lazy ass!”
Dong Chuxue's maid, Hua Hua, was pushing a cart of firewood to be delivered to the woodshed. Seeing this, she felt unhappy.
"Why is it that it's three o'clock in the morning? Did my girl just get up from sleeping until now? You woke up before dawn and the rooster crowed. She has been busy since then. You are blind and can't see it!"
Shi Hua got up to work before dawn when he was hungry. When he saw Luo Shi scolding her girl again, he was very angry.
When Luo heard this, he thought, oh, this damn girl still dares to talk back!
He jumped up a few steps and slapped Shi Hua in the face, knocking him back a few steps.
Seeing that Luo Shi wanted to come forward and hit him again, Chu Xue quickly put down the basin and rushed over. Luo Shi slapped Chu Xue hard with his big palm, making a loud noise.
Seeing that the rooster still dared to protect the dead girl, Luo was very angry and raised his hand to slap Chuxue hard several times.
"How dare you attack my girl, you scumbag!" Shi Hua helped Chu Xue away and was about to pounce on Luo for a fight.
Dong Jin, the leader of the village, came out at the right time and coughed twice, "What kind of thing is this so early in the morning? How unbecoming!"
Luo Shi stopped his hand and Shi Hua glared at him hatefully.
Luo was cruel on the outside, but Dong Jin was cruel on the inside, with a dark heart. She sighed secretly. She stopped pushing the cart, went forward, picked up the wooden basin, called her girl, and walked towards the wellhead.
Seeing that they stopped pushing the cart, Luo was so angry that she jumped up and started scolding, but Dong Jin stopped her with his eyes.
The master and the servant fetched water from the well, and when the clothes were soaked, they had to wash them.
Looking at a pot of clothes belonging to Dong Jinluo's family, Shi Hua was so angry that he tore them out, smashed them on the stone slab, and stepped on them with his feet, "I'll trample you to death, trample you to death, if you dare to bully us, wait."
One day, I will definitely make you look good!"
"Don't step on it if it gets dirty. Won't you have to work hard to wash it after a while?"
When the attendant saw the girl picking up the clothes and putting them back into the basin, he felt that he had nowhere to vent his anger.
After walking around in circles for several times, when she saw the girl asking her about the injury on her face, she remembered that the girl had also been slapped several times by the shrew. She squatted down and asked distressedly: "Girl, does it hurt?"
Chu Xue smiled at her and put her wet hand on Shi Hua's face. Shi Hua bared his teeth and said, "It hurts!"
Tears rolled down Chuxue's eyes: "Don't contradict them in the future. The more you contradict them, the more they will take advantage of us. If you are driven away by them, I will be alone..." I don't want to live anymore.
Shi Hua also had red eyes, "Girl, don't worry, I won't leave, I can't even drive you away. Madam held my hand when she was dying and told me to protect the girl. I dare not forget. I listen to Madam
If so, I will stay by the girl’s side and protect her from now on.”
Thinking of their deceased mother, wife, master and servant, their eyes were red.
At this time, Huo Xi brought Tayue and others to Zhuangzi.
