Chapter 155 I Want to Earn Money for My Family
Gu Fei didn't know that someone had been thinking about the gun in his hand, and he slept soundly.
While eating breakfast in the morning, Chen discussed with Gu Zhang, "Why don't we all go to the city today? There are many things to buy in this house."
"We can't burn the kang in the south, so we need to buy more charcoal and charcoal basins. And the bed, it doesn't look good if it's bare, so we need to buy some mosquito nets and curtains to hang up."
"With so many rooms, we need to buy more oil lamps and candles, and more teapots. Alas, this house is big, and we need several copies of everything, which is also expensive!"
Gu Zhang nodded, "We need to buy some things. The New Year is coming soon, and we have to buy New Year gifts." goods."
Lanzhi raised her head and said cautiously: "Auntie, can I go to the city with you?"
Chen looked at her, and Lanzhi said hurriedly: "I want to go to the city to take some embroidery work at the embroidery shop."
"I am very good at embroidery, really!"
"Last year, Xiaofei took a job of embroidering four screens for me in the embroidery shop. I worked for half a year and earned sixty taels of silver."
"I, I want to earn more money for the family."
Chen glanced at Gu Fei, and Gu Fei nodded. She knew that Lanzhi felt that she was eating for free, and she would feel at ease if she asked her to do some work.
Chen said, "Then go ahead. The money you earn from embroidery will belong to you."
Lanzhi waved her hands anxiously, "No, no, no, I will give you all the money I earn. I can't stay at home and eat for free without working."
Lanzhi lowered her head, "I know I'm not as capable as Lian'er and can't do much work. I, I'm not very good at serving people. I can only embroider and do needlework."
Lanzhi raised her head with tears in her eyes, "Uncle and Aunt, Lanzhi's parents are gone. I have already regarded you as my relatives in my heart, and this place is my home. I also want to earn more money to make our family life better and better."
Gu Erlang saw Lanzhi crying and couldn't help but get anxious, looking at his mother eagerly.
Chen didn't even look at him, and smiled at Lanzhi, "This girl, why are you crying while talking?"
"Okay, I've promised you. When you go to the city to buy embroidery frames, embroidery threads, etc., you can ask Xiaofei to buy them for you."
Lanzhi was happy, "Thank you, Auntie."
Gu Erlang's heart finally settled down.
At this time, Lian'er suddenly said, "Auntie, I have to go to the city with you."
Chen looked at her, and Lian'er continued, "When Miss Xiaofei bought me, she didn't go to the government to sign a body contract. I have been here for a few days. Miss Xiaofei may have forgotten, but I haven't forgotten."
Gu Fei was silent for two seconds. She didn't forget. She just didn't think about what to do with Lian'er.
If she let her go, she would have no relatives. It would be difficult for a girl to support herself outside, and it would be dangerous.
If she didn't let her go, she didn't have a body contract. Some things are always not so reliable.
Gu Fei said slowly: "Think it over. After signing the contract, you will no longer be a good citizen, but a slave."
Lian'er stood up and knelt down, "Miss Xiao Fei gave my mother steamed bread, Uncle Gu and several elder brothers helped bury my mother and brother, and Miss Xiao Fei was willing to buy me and spend so much precious food to support me. My life has long belonged to Miss Xiao Fei."
"I said, I, Lian'er, am Miss Xiao Fei's person in life and Miss Xiao Fei's ghost in death."
"I originally arranged a marriage at home, but now it doesn't count. I have thought about it. In this life, I will not marry, and I will serve Miss Xiao Fei for the rest of my life."
