Chapter 586 New Clothes
Early the next morning, before Niannian woke up, Baoyuan had already run around the house several times.

She picked up some bricks, straw and mud herself, and took advantage of the sunny day to mend her roof again.

She didn't come back for a month, and the hut was already covered with dust. Although there were not many pieces of furniture in the house, she still carefully wiped the walls, several boxes and the only wooden cabinet.

There is still one day's rations left at home—it just so happens that her husband hasn't come back today, so she can still cook a pot of porridge for lunch.

In the afternoon, she washed and dried the dirty clothes, and in the evening, she went outside to pick up a few temporary night truck jobs, and she would earn her rations for tomorrow.

The sun rose quickly, and Nian Nian also came down to help.

The room brightened up, Baoyuan saw her daughter's face clearly for the first time.

I haven't seen her for a month, and Niannian is fatter than before - at least her face and arms look fleshy.There was a pink blush on the little girl's cheeks, and her nails were clean.

Before going to work, Nian Nianzai carefully took off the clean clothes on her body, and put on the short brown clothes that had been washed so that the color could not be seen before.

"Did Sister Bai Ling make this dress for you too?" Bao Yuan asked nonchalantly.

"Yeah!" Niannian held them in her arms, and put them in a box against the wall with great care, "Yesterday, Sister Bai Ling asked if I wanted to take them all, and Niannian said that this one is fine, because Niannian I like this one the most!"

Baoyuan's eyes fell on the rebuilt wooden box.

"Do you still remember what Mother told you before?" Baoyuan said softly, "What do you want from someone else's gift?"

Nian Nian held both hands together, but did not answer.

Baoyuan asked again, "What do you want?"

"You have to show it to your mother before you can accept it..."

"if not?"

"Otherwise, you might be tricked by the stalker." Niannian's voice lowered, she looked a little frustrated, "But Sister Bai Ling is not a stalker..."

Bao Yuan stepped forward and squatted down, "Sister Bai Ling is indeed not a womanizer, but Niannian will accept other people's things next time, and you must remember what your mother said, you know?"

Nian Nian nodded, "...Then can I keep this skirt?"

Bao Yuan smiled helplessly, she felt that every word she wanted to say became a little pale at this moment.

Her eye sockets became hot again for a moment.

Baoyuan suddenly felt a little flustered, and even though she was absolutely sure that her daughter was still a sensible one, who could guarantee that she would not feel that Bailing was a better place to go in the future?

After all, compared with the luxurious food of the Lanzi brand, the home here is really...

"Mom," Nian Nian called out again, "Is it okay?"

Baoyuan turned her face away, she sighed softly.

"If you really want to stay, just stay."

……

Baoyuan didn't go to the Lanzi shop again, even though the wages paid there were several times higher than other places.

She rolled up her sleeves and continued to try her luck in the flower kilns of the Ministry of Jinzi and the Ministry of Water. Some people recognized her on the way, some of them were neighbors who lived near her. Baoyuan hated these teenage wild children very much. From a distance, he called "Mother" to Baoyuan, and then laughed.

What's so funny about that?
When she started to pick up the job, she tried to bargain with the person in charge of the flower kiln. The person looked at her and snorted coldly, "I am not a place to serve my mother. If you don't like it, go to another place." .”

The steward's voice was very loud, and everyone looked at Bao Yuan for a while.

So Baoyuan understood that after her husband secretly pawned the jewelry, the news that she served the imperial concubine had probably spread here.

The familiar low laughter and talking voices pierced her ears like knives.She lowered her head, recklessly wrapped the thick rope around her back, then pulled a broken scooter and walked out.

At several handover and registration gates, acquaintances from the past came up to say hello to her. After a few pleasantries, everyone would come to ask a few words.One of them was the pimp who tried every means to get Baoyuan to go to the key shop. He circled Baoyuan back and forth, "Is it true what was said outside? Did you really stay in the palace?"

"Then have you seen the emperor?"

"Are you in the palace like a housewife in a rich family?"

Baoyuan stopped, spit on the man's face, then pulled the car and continued to move forward.

The man was not angry either, he wiped his face with his sleeve with a smile, followed up with a few steps, and said with a low laugh, "Then Mrs. Li is really not at fault for marrying you, this is considered to be a blessing from above."

Bao Yuan said angrily, "Based on your words, Jin Yiwei will arrest your whole family tomorrow!"

The man still smiled shamelessly, "Sister Li, go if you can. Anyway, I'm the only one in my family, so I'm not afraid of this—"

Baoyuan didn't pay any attention to it, but just walked forward sullenly.

After a while, she heard the voice behind her, "You really can't take a joke, that's all, I won't talk about it, I won't talk about it!"

The man turned around and ran away, but Baoyuan understood that these unreasonable words would be spread around the corner, and the spread would be more embellished.

She thought she would one day get used to it all.But it was difficult, no matter how many times she passed, whenever she thought of what these people might say behind her back, she felt her hands and feet tremble.

Only work could keep her from them briefly.

In the middle of the night, Bao Yuan returned home with a small bag of copper coins and a whole body of exhaustion, but when she opened the door, she obviously smelled alcohol.

Baoyuan hesitated for a moment, and soon, she heard snoring.

Bao Yuan understood, she closed the door silently, then untied her purse, carefully hid it in a corner, and finally blocked everything with a broom.

She wiped the sweat off her body with a towel, changed her clothes, and lay down on the bed.

The man's body lay obliquely on the diagonal line of the bed, and Bao Yuan habitually probed into the corner of the bed—but there was no Nian Nian there.

She froze for a moment, then immediately touched the corner of the bed on the side of the wall.

— all empty.

"Nian Nian?" Bao Yuan suddenly called out.

No one answered her, but the man on the bed turned over, making the bed board creak.

"Near!"

Baoyuan's voice became sharp, and the man beside him was also awakened, "What's the noise, it's in the middle of the night..."

Baoyuan didn't care about anything else, she touched the darkness and lit the only candle at home, following the light, Baoyuan saw her man rubbing his eyes and sitting up.

And he was really alone in the bed.

"Where's my daughter!?" Baoyuan asked sharply, but before she heard the answer, she saw a small plate of unfinished beef and a jar on the wooden box that had always been used as a dining table at home. liquor.

Bao Yuan was stunned for a moment, "...where did you get the money to buy meat and wine?"

"Don't worry about what I buy, I'll send your daughter to enjoy life anyway." The man replied impatiently, "The candle is out, light it and dazzle your eyes!"
