27. Chapter 27 A Blessing in Misfortune—Discovering the Secret Treasure 【02】
Aunt Xue's mother-in-law is the concubine of the old man of the Xue family, the number one businessman in Jiazhou. Because of Aunt Xue's relationship, she became one of the top three wealthy merchants in Jiazhou.
Even Mrs. Sima would have to give her some bad treatment, so Aunt Xue and Feng Ruoli could be so arrogant in the house.
After all, the master dotes on them.
After saying that, she didn't care what Aunt Mei thought, and immediately had the small door locked from the outside.
Aunt Mei felt that it would be beneficial not to have a maid to serve them, so no one would bother them all the time.
Among the girls who served Xiao Xiao before, one named Qiu Chan was particularly powerful. She bullied Xiao Xiao overtly and covertly, and complained to his wife from time to time.
It would be a good thing if they don't come.
I just don’t know why no one came to deliver food all day long. Aunt Mei called for a long time, but no one answered.
Aunt Mei had no choice but to take out the cold steamed buns that she had hidden before, cover them with heat, and give them to Xiao Xiao to eat. She finally stayed up until the evening.
Xiao Xiao took the medicine, but she was still drowsy. Aunt Mei kept guarding her. In the middle of the night, she was too sleepy, so Aunt Mei fell asleep too.
Xiao Xiao only felt that her whole body was chilly, cold, painful, numb and dull, and she was very hungry in her stomach.
There was nothing in their house, and even daily necessities were often in short supply. Aunt Mei was able to save a little by frugally.
She didn't disturb Aunt Mei. She got up and rummaged around, but she didn't find any snack. She only found the seeds and pits left over from eating watermelons, peaches, apricots, cherries and other fruits in the summer. Unfortunately, the watermelon seeds weren't enough, and she also got the peach pits.
not open.
Her eyes were so hungry that she suddenly fell to the ground.
Drowsily, as if in a dream, she came to an open space. It was foggy and she couldn't see very clearly. She just felt that it was very vast.
But it wasn't cold, which made her feel very comfortable, and the pain on her body seemed to have eased.
But - hunger was still so vivid, she was wandering like a ghost, and suddenly saw a spring.
The air was foggy and it was hard to see clearly, but the sound of gurgling spring water was like the sound of nature.
She rushed over and wanted to grab the spring water and drink it.
But she found that she was like a shadow, plunging down, but floating on the water again, and a blue lotus touched her.
At this time, a hurried cry came from my ears, "Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao, wake up, wake up -"
Then I felt a cool liquid flow into my mouth.
Xiao Xiao choked suddenly, started coughing, and suddenly woke up.
The lights in the room were dim, Aunt Mei's face was anxious and her eyes were filled with tears.
It turned out to be a dream.
She drank some water and felt even hungrier.
"Xiao Xiao, don't scare me." Aunt Mei hugged her daughter tightly. Her two sons were taken away by the madam with excuses and could not see each other again. She could not lose her daughter again.
"Mom, I'm fine. I'm just hungry."
Xiao Xiao smiled bitterly. When he came back from the main courtyard, although the family rules were copied starting tomorrow, he was not given food today.
I don’t know if the ladies forgot it or if they did it on purpose.
Xiao Xiao judged that Aunt Xue must have bribed the mother-in-law to cause trouble if they were not given food. There must be food at Aunt Xue's place, and they would not be hungry even if they were not given food.
And Mrs. Sima must have known about it, but she was just happy to watch the fun and pretended not to know.
Xiao Xiao clenched her fists, she would definitely make them repay double for all this. Aunt Xue's maiden family was the concubine of the Xue family, the number one businessman in Jiazhou. Because of Aunt Xue's relationship, she was originally considered a wealthy businessman.
Became the top three in Jiazhou.
Even Mrs. Sima would have to give her some bad treatment, so Aunt Xue and Feng Ruoli could be so arrogant in the house.
After all, the master dotes on them.
