Xiao Xiao finally made a fire and lit the flame. She was afraid that the fire would go out, so she piled the leaves into it, and then poured the porridge into a small copper pot to heat it.
Originally, she didn't expect it to be successful, but she just wanted to try it so that her mother could have a hot meal.
Little did she know that this space gave her another surprise - the little flame that had been lit before actually lasted for a long time. When the porridge came out of steam and started to bubble, it was still burning.
"What a treasure. It has become a kind of fire."
Xiao Xiao heated the porridge, blew out the fire, covered it with branches, and covered it with soil.
In this way, an everlasting red fire is left, and when you blow it back, it can continue to ignite.
She looked and saw that the ashes did not spontaneously ignite, so she left the space and returned to the house with the porridge.
As soon as they came out, they heard the door of the courtyard rattle. Mrs. Leng walked in quickly, threw down two hard steamed buns, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Miss Thirteen, what's the matter? Have you finished copying the house rules today?"
She looked at Xiao Xiao with gloating, thinking about how she could squeeze out more money.
Anyway, she will definitely not be able to copy them all, so it is better to threaten her that if she does not pay her, she will not show the house rules she copied and let her get beaten.
But Xiao Xiao seemed to have read through her thoughts and said coldly: "Stop your delusions. I've finished copying it. If you don't show it to Madam, you won't be able to finish it and walk around. Has Miss Ten finished copying it?"
Mrs. Leng murmured in her heart, this Miss Ten’s name is weird, shouldn’t she be called Sister Ten?
It's strange that people say that this thirteenth lady is no longer so stupid, but her temper has become cold, as hard as a stone.
It’s impossible to say that she is really possessed by a ghost. Otherwise, why did the little girl who was so submissive in the past suddenly become so tough?
I was able to get one hundred taels of silver from the madam. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu in front of Aunt Xue told her, otherwise she wouldn't know it.
Within a month, she must defraud the money.
Doesn't Xiao Xiao know what she is planning?
He gave her the copied house rules. Although Mrs. Leng didn't know how to count, she could count them one by one. She went back and forth five or six times and found that they were all thirty.
Xiao Xiao sneered: "Why, you can still read, can you tell if I copied it myself? You'd better take it to the main courtyard to identify it."
However, Mrs. Leng was not angry and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, it's for Miss Thirteen's sake. I'm afraid there will be any mistakes."
She stretched her head and looked into the inner room, "Why, Aunt Mei is not feeling well and has to rest so early?"
While Xiao Xiao was angry with her, he also knew that he was in a difficult situation now and couldn't offend everyone, otherwise it would be of no use no matter how powerful he was.
She also softened her tone and said, "Don't Mother Leng know that she only gives you so much food in one day, and it's still cold? There's no charcoal fire in the house, and my mother is cold and hungry, so naturally it's better to lie down."
Mrs. Leng's eyes lit up and she immediately said: "Miss Thirteen, do you want a pot of hot water? And a charcoal basin?"
She was thinking that in this case, she could at least get another one tael of silver out.
I only earn two hundred dollars a month, but I still earn it by working day and night. One tael of silver is almost half a year's monthly income.
She is not like those girls and mothers in front of her master, who have a lot of monthly money, almost one tael of silver a month, and who fawns over and bribes the other, how can she get a few taels of silver a month.
And she only had this chance. Originally, she wanted to go to Aunt Xue's courtyard, and she would definitely be able to get a few taels of silver.
