Chapter 573 Madam Bian
There used to be a cousin from my aunt's house in the general's mansion, but now there's a sister from my eldest grandmother's house, which makes the four brothers very excited.
Without that atmosphere, naturally I wouldn't feel it, but once I have this precious little sister, the brothers will start to act like older brothers.
Now Jin'er's sister is taller, and now Jin'er's younger sister is shorter. It makes even a serious person like my elder sister-in-law Chen Yinhua raise the corners of her mouth. You can only imagine the abilities of these children.
Next to her, Gu Xiaochun also looked at her daughter like a darling, and then said with emotion.
"Jin'er had a good life and fell in love with the Gu family, so now there are so many people who love her and love her."
"What's wrong? Are you feeling so emotional all of a sudden?"
Du Jingyi was a little strange, how could he say such a thing so easily, so he asked, and Gu Xiaoyun, who was sitting on the other side of her, also heard it, so he explained comfortingly.
"We stopped once on the way here and happened to meet a woman who was carrying four daughters on the pier to earn a living. In such a cold weather, the girls didn't have thick clothes to wear. The youngest was only five years old. They were six years old and looked very pitiful, so the eldest sister felt kindhearted and bought them all. Now they are learning the rules in the yard. "
"Oh? What's more? Did all five people buy it?"
"Well, it's a purchase, but it's better to say it's to give them a chance to be reborn. My sister-in-law doesn't know how cruel her man is! He's very lazy and doesn't talk about it. He drinks and gambles every day. He dislikes her for not being able to give birth to a son, and beats and scolds her at every turn. , If it hadn’t been for meeting us this time, I don’t know if I would have survived until next year.”
Hearing this, Gu Xiaochun also sighed again and again.
It was probably because the youngest child was about the same age as Jin'er that she felt compassion for her. Du Jingyi just listened and felt that these mothers had a hard life, so he asked.
"Is there a place to stay? If not, the woman can go to the kitchen to help cook and learn a craft. Even if she doesn't follow you in the future, she will still have a way out."
When Gu Xiaoyun heard this, she clapped her hands and said to Du Jingyi immediately.
"That's good. Sister-in-law, this method will help you once and for all."
Gu Xiaochun saved people just so that they could escape from the devil's cave, so when he heard this, he thought it was a good idea and agreed.
He immediately asked the people around him to go back and tell Mrs. Bian to go to the kitchen to help first.
"Doesn't she have four other children? How old are they?"
"The older two are twelve years old. They are twins. The younger one is nine years old and the other is six years old. They have been suffering from lack of food and clothing for many years and they look thin and small."
"Twins? It's a fate. Let's ask their mother, do the children want to follow Li Zhu into the Women's Guard? They must suffer, but if they develop their skills, they will be their own. But if they are really If you don’t want to suffer this hardship, then just follow Aunt Dou, and you will be able to take care of the back house in the future.”
The two originally thought that the only way to do this was to be a maid, but they didn't expect that Du Jingyi was so generous and was willing to train them to learn kung fu from Li Zhu.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so Gu Xiaochun said quickly.
"How about I send someone to find them? Sister-in-law, please ask."
Glancing at the children playing happily next to him, Du Jingyi was also willing to find a way out for these poor people.
"Okay, just ask them to come."
"Um."
Gu Xiaochun immediately asked the maid serving beside him to call. Not long after, the mother and daughter came. It was their first time to see such a wealthy family. Naturally, they were timid, for fear that if they were too strong, they would destroy all the floor tiles. If it gets stepped on, they can't afford to pay for it.
"Slave...Slave Bian Chunhua, I have met Madam."
My mother could hardly speak, let alone the four children. She was kneeling when she came in. If you look closely, she was still a little trembling, like a stray puppy on the street.
When Du Jingyi saw it, he felt pity in his heart, so he asked in a gentle voice.
"Stop kneeling. If your knees hurt, please get up and look up. I can arrange an errand for you."
"Thank...Thank you, madam."
When Mrs. Bian got up on the ground, Du Jingyi saw her chapped hands, which were really pitiful.
There are also several children who, although they are wearing thick cotton clothes, can still not get rid of the red marks on their faces caused by the cold.
His hair was dry and yellow, and he was dark and thin. When he looked at Du Jingyi, he was so timid that he didn't know what to do or say.
Seeing this, Du Jingyi continued to ask.
"Since you have come to my general's residence, you will be members of my general's residence in the future, so you don't have to worry about going through the hard days of the past. You will get better if you take care of yourself slowly."
Lady Bian nodded desperately. If she followed this family, she would at least have enough food and clothing, so she was naturally happy.
"Now I have chosen a few ways out. Think about it for yourselves. Just tell me which one you want to take and I will make arrangements."
Immediately afterwards, Du Jingyi explained all the decisions he had just discussed with the Gu Xiaochun sisters. Lady Bian burst into tears of joy and pretended to cry, but was stopped by Gu Xiaoyun.
"I just came to my sister-in-law's house, so please don't shed tears. This is a good thing. Madam Bian, please make a decision quickly."
Madam Bian didn’t understand this, and whatever the host said was what she said, so she quickly wiped her tears and said.
"Country people don't understand the truth, but I... but I think my wife is a good person, so you can arrange it. As long as you can have hot food to eat and a place to sleep, it will be good."
Her words made Du Jingyi sigh in her heart. Since she couldn't decide, she would do it herself, so she said to Madam Bian.
"In that case, you can go to the kitchen to help later. Start with simple tasks. There will always be a day when you can be the chef. If you can make good soup, you will naturally get more wages. As for these four children, send them to Lizhu. If they can endure hardships, stay and practice their skills. If they can't endure hardships, send them back to learn the rules from Madam Dou. They will always be able to become masters in three to five years."
Seeing that the way out was decided, Madam Bian knelt down again with gratitude.
Several children followed their mother, so naturally they would do whatever she did.
Du Jingyi looked at the four children from her seat. She had some liking for the eight-year-old. Although his eyes were a little confused, she could see that he had a stubborn temper.
All the sisters knelt down at once, except her, who struggled a little. However, she had to bow her head in the end due to the situation. This child is a good seedling, so if she can practice with Li Zhu, she will probably have a bright future.
