Maid's Counterattack

Ziluo followed Meizi and continued on their way, out of the town, on a path overgrown with weeds.

"Is there a lot of people in your family? Is it inappropriate for me to live in your house?"

Ziluo asked.

"It's okay, it's just me and the little girl, the child's father is not at home."

Meizi hesitated when talking about the child's father.

"That's it."

Zi Luo didn't ask any more questions, and then just chatted about other things. When she was tired, she sat on the rock and ate steamed buns. It wouldn't feel long if she had someone to keep her company. After a while, it was getting dark and I arrived at Meizi's house.

Meizi's house is built on a secluded alley, and there are a few scattered families nearby. She stays at her house for one night, and then leaves early the next morning, arriving at the next town by noon.

"Come on, come in and sit down, you can finally have a good rest."

Meizi was very enthusiastic. She pushed the cart selling steamed buns into the yard, a simple small yard, and then went into the house and handed Ziluo a glass of water.

"It's broken and small here, I hope the girl won't dislike it."

Meizi saw Ziluo looking around. It was indeed a relatively small room. Upon entering the door, there was a main hall with a table and a few chairs. There was a small bedroom on the left, which was blocked by a curtain. Clean and tidy.

"No, at first glance, my sister is a hardworking person. The house is so tidy."

Ziluo praised.

"Sit down and rest, I'll make some soup."

Meizi moved her chair, and was busy going to the separate small kitchen in the yard to cook again.

"Sister, don't be too busy. I ate a few buns and I'm not hungry anymore, but I wonder if the little girl is full?"

Ziluo said politely.

"You don't have to be polite. Now that you come to live in my house, I'm very happy. Usually it's just me and the girl. God knows how lonely it is."

Hearing what Meizi said, Ziluo had already reached the point of his mouth, but was too embarrassed to say it.

"You must want to ask the child where her father has gone? Alas, he is an unreliable master. He eats and drinks all day long, and doesn't make money. He doesn't know where to go to have fun. Every time he goes out, he takes many days to come back, saying he is going out. To make money, I haven’t seen him bring back any silver taels.”

Ziluo leaned on the door frame of the kitchen, frowned and listened to Meizi's complaint, and couldn't help but feel as if he was holding his breath, wanting to beat that person up.

"Hey, I'm just an example. Sister, when you look for a husband in the future, you have to keep your eyes open."

Meizi skillfully washed the pots and bowls, and scooped water to wash the rice.

"Sister, don't be sad. At worst, leave him and survive by yourself."

Although Zi Luo comforted her so much, she didn't know it in her heart. It was difficult for her to live alone, how could a woman with a child survive in this world.

"You are such a kind girl."

Meizi shook her head with a wry smile.

After a while, the food was already on the table, and the little girl was lying on the table and drinking soup.

"Sister Meizi's cooking skills are really good."

Ziluo felt very warm at this time, since she entered the mansion as a maid, she has been living in fear, and now eating ordinary meals with ordinary people, it seems that she has returned to her childhood.

When I was about to finish eating, I suddenly felt movement in the yard.

"It's not good, why come back so early this time, you go to hide under the bed in the house first."

Meizi suddenly became nervous, Ziluo guessed that the person she was talking about must be the father of the child, and was a little at a loss, so she obeyed Meizi and went into the inner room and hid under the bed.

"Why did you close the stall so early today? Hey, we're almost done eating."

Ziluo heard the man's voice becoming clearer and knew that he had already entered the house.

"There are fewer people on the street today, so I came back earlier."

Meizi was very cautious when she spoke, for fear of saying something wrong, then she heard the sound of setting the table and chopsticks, probably the man was sitting down to eat, at this time Ziluo was also nervous and her palms were sweating.

"You, how did you go out this time?"

After a short while of silence, Meizi asked cautiously.

"What's the matter with you? You won't starve to death. What are you doing in a daze? Go and pour me some wine."

The man's voice annoyed Ziluo very much.

"What's your expression? Are you unhappy when I come back?"

Ziluo heard a snap, followed by the sound of a little girl crying.

"To shut up."

The man said impatiently.

"What are you doing, how did I mess with you?"

After a while, hearing Meizi's voice full of fear, Ziluo saw two pairs of feet walking into the inner room, one pair of feet pressed tightly, and the other pair of feet stepped back indiscriminately.

"Ah, help."

The voice of Meizi calling for help, the voice of the man saying foul language, the voice of beating someone, and the voice of the child crying are mixed together, making people upset.

"assistant."

Finally, Ziluo couldn't bear it any longer, crawled out from under the bed, and pushed the man.

"Who? Who's at my house?"

The man stared at Ziluo.

"You, brother?"

Ziluo froze for a moment.

"Zi Luo? Is it you? Why are you running away in this dress?"

The man breathed a sigh of relief and was also surprised.

"you…"

Meizi stood aside, not knowing what to say.

"Sister Meizi, no, sister-in-law, he is my own brother. I haven't heard from him for several years. I didn't expect to meet him here."

Ziluo didn't feel happy to see her relatives, but disgusted. She knew her brother's behavior well, so seeing him was as disgusting as seeing a fly.

"Hahaha, sister, I haven't seen my sister for a long time, brother is so happy to see you."

Brother Ziluo's voice revealed obscenity, without any trace of true emotion.

"How did you get together?"

Brother Ziluo looked at Meizi.

"I was selling steamed buns on the street, and when I met someone who beat me up for not paying the bill, she saved me."

Meizi said.

"Oh, that's right, it's really fate, my sister-in-law saved my sister-in-law."

Brother Ziluo was half lying on the bed, squinting his eyes and looking around at the two women in front of him.

"Brother, you are still the same."

Zi Luo's words were actually mocking him.

"Hmph, you really don't know how much my brother has suffered. Back then, I offended a big shot and was chased and beaten. I fled all the way here, and a kind old man took me in, so I was spared."

Brother Ziluo deliberately raised his voice, feeling how sensational he was.

"Hmph, it's your own fault."

Zi Luo was not emotional, but hated what he said.

"You, big or small, how can you talk to my brother in such a tone, it seems that my brother wants to take care of you."

Brother Ziluo suddenly sat up from the bed and rolled up his sleeves.

"Okay, okay, she's ignorant, I'll call for footwashing water."

Meizi hurriedly stepped forward to make a rescue.

"I am leaving."

Seeing Meizi's condescension towards her elder brother, Ziluo became even angrier, turned her head and opened the curtain to leave.

"Stop her."

Brother Ziluo yelled.

"Okay, you rest, I will persuade her well."

Meizi stretched her neck and shouted towards the inner room, and winked, trying to make Ziluo hold back, after all, women can't beat men, Ziluo took a deep breath, gradually calmed down, and came to the yard to sit on the stone. The moon was already high above the treetops.
