Chu Chu lowered her head and whispered: "I can't go back."
Dani was curious: "Why? Did they force you?"
Chu Chu shook her head, "If I go back, my brother will not be able to enter the school."
In fact, it wasn't just because of this, the old lady also said that if she stayed at home and couldn't get married, her two younger brothers would also not be able to get wives in the future, so she had to stay.
"Dani! Come in!"
Uncle Jiang shouted in the yard: "Close the door!"
Dani shrunk her neck, quickly stepped into her yard, and closed the door.
The girl was shut out and her head hung lower.
After a while, Chu Chu raised her head and glanced at the closed door of the Jiang family, sighed, and began to look around.
This place is very empty, with only three households.
But these three families looked very wealthy. The big houses were all made of green bricks and tiles, and even the courtyard walls were built very high, making it difficult for people to see what was going on inside.
Chu Chu turned around and walked slowly outside, touching her new clothes and skirt from time to time.
It was the first time in her life that she had put on a beautiful new dress made of such good materials, and she was actually very happy.
She would be happier if she wasn't disliked by others.
Seeing that the hem of her clothes was almost dragging to the ground, Chu Chu quickly hugged her a little more.
He picked up his package in the corner, carried it to a haystack, sat down, clasped his knees with his hands and began to be in a daze.
She must not go back, not only for her brother to go to school, but also for herself.
Grandpa, the patriarch, told her that even if she couldn't become the Jiang family's wife, she couldn't disgrace the Chu family.
He also said that the Jiang family were very kind and asked her to stay here for a while. As long as the Jiang family saw how good she was, they might accept her.
Chu Chu sighed.
What the patriarch said was somewhat contradictory, leaving her at a loss as to what to do.
The only thing they wanted to do together was to let her stay with the Jiang family and find opportunities to repair the relationship between the two families.
When I looked up, I suddenly saw a four or five-year-old baby standing not far away, looking at her curiously.
This female doll is so beautiful. She is wearing a pink shirt and skirt, with two small hairpins on her head, and a silver collar around her neck.
I saw that her eyebrows were picturesque and her skin was pink and rosy. She was more beautiful than the dolls in the New Year pictures.
This was the first time Chu Chu saw such a beautiful child, and she was stunned for a moment.
"Why don't you go home?" Ying Bao asked when she saw this young lady hiding behind the haystack with a stupid look.
Chu Chu shook her head: "I don't want to go back."
Yingbao took a step forward and asked again: "What's your name?"
Brother Dacheng never broke off the engagement in her previous life, and the head of the Chu family didn't send anyone new, so she was a little curious as to who this strange girl was.
"My name is Chu Chu, what is my little sister's name? Are you also a child of the Jiang family?"
Yingbao nodded, kicked the mud under his feet, and continued to ask: "If you don't go home, where will you sleep at night?"
Chu Chu thought for a moment and pointed to the haystack behind her, "Can I sleep here?"
Children in the village have all played the game of hiding in the haystack. As long as she digs a hole in the haystack, she can squeeze in the haystack hole to rest at night.
Yingbao shook her head, "No, you can't sleep here, there are wolves at night."
This is the southern slope, and there are no homes around. Wild animals often appear at night, and wolves are one of the most common wild animals.
She often heard wolves howling at night.
Chu Chu was startled when he heard this, and was a little helpless, with confusion between his brows.
Seeing the girl's honest expression, Ying Bao rolled her eyes and asked, "Are you really not planning to go home?"
She has been very busy recently, and she really wants to find a helper, but she doesn't know if the girl in front of her is qualified.
Chu Chu nodded: "I can't go home." At least not now.
"Then you want to marry my brother Dacheng?" Yingbao asked.
"I...I don't know either." Chu Chu felt a little embarrassed talking about this with a little baby.
Ying Bao said bluntly: "My brother Dacheng may not like you, so I advise you to give up on this idea."
Chu Chu lowered her head, her pretty face turned red.
Before she agreed to come, she expected that she would be discriminated against and disliked, but it was still a bit embarrassing to be pointed out directly by a little kid.
But it was indeed the case. The Jiang family didn't like her and didn't even bother to let her stay.
But even so, she can't go home now.
Because the patriarch, the grandfather, said that if it was not possible, she would have to stay with the Jiang family for at least ten days before going back. Otherwise, the family would not provide any expenses for her brother's schooling in the future.
"I, I never thought about letting... your brother like you. I just... I just can't go back."
Chu Chu said, tears falling down.
When Ying Bao saw her crying, she felt a little pity.
He took a few steps forward, patted her and comforted her: "Don't cry, I'm just telling the truth and I didn't mean to make fun of you."
Chu Chu nodded and wiped her tears with the back of her hand, "Yes, I know."
The two were silent for a while, and then Ying Bao asked, "Aren't your parents worried if you stay here?"
Chu Chu shook her head: "I don't have a mother, dad, he..." You should be worried.
But when he got on the sedan chair, his father showed no expression at all. On the contrary, his little brother Chu Qing cried so hard that his face was covered with snot and bubbles.
The eldest brother had the same expression as his father as always, showing no sadness or joy.
Ying Bao understands that feelings are like a poor child without a mother.
"Well, if you don't mind, you can help me work. I'll find a place for you to stay temporarily and I'll pay you. But you can't use this as an excuse to stay in my house, let alone have any plans against my brother Dacheng.
, are you willing?"
Chu Chu blinked and nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll help you with the work."
Ying Bao nodded with satisfaction, "Then come with me."
Chu Chu stood up, picked up the package and followed the little doll.
Yingbao took her to a thatched hut next to her vegetable patch.
I built this hut to guard the vegetable plot in the future.
Because the vegetable field was often visited by wild animals, my father hired someone to build this hut to make it easier to guard the vegetable field.
"You can live here from now on." Yingbao pointed to the hut.
The hut is not big, so it is okay for one person to live in it. Moreover, the hut is equipped with thick doors and windows. As long as they are bolted from the inside, it is very safe.
Chu Chu was obviously very happy and immediately nodded and thanked Ying Bao, "Thank you, sister."
Yingbao pushed open the wooden door and took her in to take a look.
It was one foot square inside, with a small bamboo bed and a table.
Because no one was living there, the bamboo bed and table were covered with dust.
"I'll bring you a quilt later. Lock the door at night and don't open it no matter who calls. Do you understand?" Yingbao taught like a little adult.
"Yes, I know." Chu Chu was so happy that she walked around the room, touching here and there.
Seeing that the girl was not dissatisfied, Ying Bao breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went home to talk to her mother about keeping someone.
Chun Niang didn't say anything, she dug out an old quilt and gave it to Chu Chu.
Then he gave her two unused clay pots and a small half can of rice, asking her to boil water and cook her own rice.
Chu Chu thanked Chun Niang: "Thank you, Auntie. From now on, if Auntie has any work to do, just call me and I will do anything."
Chun Niang sighed: "I don't have any work for you here, so just listen to Bao'er and do whatever she asks you to do."
I don’t know what my daughter’s plans are. Is it really a good idea to keep a girl from the Chu family?
Don't rely on the Jiang family when the time comes and affect Dacheng's future marriage.
But my daughter said that she would ask the Chu girl to abandon this idea, work down-to-earth, and ensure that she would not have other thoughts.
