Wang's little lady

Chapter 238 No loss in business

revenge? How could she take revenge now that she was alone?

She couldn't even go back to Mobei, and they didn't know what to do with her mother's body. Ah Mao couldn't help but squeeze the thin quilt with his hands when he thought of this.

"Let's see how my painting goes?" Hongdou didn't want Ah Mao to be stuck in bad memories, so he just finished the drawing and diverted his attention.

When Ah Mao heard Hong Dou's voice, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at the pattern paper in Hong Dou's hand, and then his expression became a little indescribable.

"Girl, your painting seems to be a bit asymmetrical." Ah Mao expressed a bit implicitly, although he could tell what the pattern looked like when Hong Dou painted it.

But the beauty and detail are beyond words.

An embarrassed smile appeared on Hongdou's face, and she concealed it: "It's good if you can see what it is, as long as the finished product looks good."

The master craftsman should be able to understand it, and she tried her best to draw the general pattern.

Ah Mao guessed that Hong Dou was not good at painting, so he gave her a chance: "Girl, if you have pen and ink at home, I can help you paint again."

Hongdou was a little surprised when he heard this: "Don't you and your mother always do menial jobs? How can you have the chance to learn this?"

According to Ah Mao's life experience, although her father was a wealthy businessman, he did not give her a chance to learn at all. Normally, she should not be able to write, let alone draw.

"My mother knows it. She said that her family's life was pretty good in the early years. Unfortunately, after my grandparents died, my uncle did not want to make progress and lost all the family business."

"Later, there was a war between the two countries, and my mother was unfortunately taken prisoner. So..."

Hongdou understood that Ah Mao's mother was unlucky again. Not only was her family in ruins, she was enslaved in a foreign country, and her daughter was now sold back to her mother country.

This is no luck.

"Although I didn't have the opportunity to study with other sisters in my family since I was a child, my mother always taught me secretly. She was afraid that if I didn't even know the words, it would be difficult to get married if I didn't know anything."

Ah Mao said lightly that few people knew about this matter. After all, the situation she and her mother were in at that time, and her subsequent situation, were not suitable for people to know.

Hongdou suddenly felt that it was not a loss for him to spend two hundred taels to buy Ah Mao. There were quite a lot of things that he didn't know how to do. Grandma would never sigh again if she knew it.

Since someone in the family knows these skills, there is no need to use them in vain: "You wait, I will go to my brother's room to get pens and ink."

Picking up a pen to draw is not a heavy job. Once you move a small board, Ah Mao can draw while sitting on the bed.

Hong Dou walked out of the room briskly. Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xie were working in the yard with Xiaoya. When they saw Hong Dou passing by with a happy face, they couldn't help asking:

"Dou, why are you so happy?" Did you think of another good deal?

Hongdou simply walked out. Anyway, it didn't take more than half a minute to tell some details about Ah Mao's life experience to grandma and the others.

Mrs. Xie and Ms. Zhang were a little sad after hearing this. It turns out that this girl is so pitiful. The father is so rich and he doesn't care about his children.

What's the use of having money?

"This is the disadvantage of being a concubine. You must not abuse yourself in the future. Although our family is not as good as a wealthy family, we still have enough to eat and drink. We have good clothes to wear and a good house to live in."

"Why do you want to be someone's little wife? It's better to find someone to be the eldest wife than anything else."

Granny Xie took the opportunity to educate Hongdou and Xiaoya. If someone's eldest wife wants to bully you, and you don't even have a chance to resist, what's going to be easy in that day?

Hongdou and Xiaoya smiled and promised that they would never do that.

"But Ah Mao can actually write and draw. This business is not a loss. I feel much better."

Granny Xie didn't expect Ah Mao to have such abilities.

People who can read and write are always looked down upon wherever they go, not to mention Ah Mao who can also draw.

"Hurry up and get the pen and ink. If you have anything to draw or write, let Ah Mao help you. Don't delay the business."

Mrs. Xie happily continued her movements.

The newcomer also had this skill. Xiaoya felt a little bit in danger, so she took the work from Mrs. Xie and started doing it. She cannot be compared to others.

Seeing Xiaoya working so hard, Mrs. Xie smiled and praised: "Xiaoya is still very capable, good at kung fu, and very strong."

Xiaoya smiled proudly at Hongdou, as if after all, she was still the most powerful Ah Mao.

Hongdou couldn't stop laughing, she was really a child at heart: "Dear Xiaoya, please help me get that board in."

After finding Brother Tuan to get paper and pen, Hongdou returned to the room, and Xiaoya's wooden board was brought in and placed in front of Ah Mao.

Hongdou put the pen, ink and paper on the wooden board and said with a smile:

"You are just injured. To avoid fainting, you should sit on the bed and draw. If there is anything unclear about the pattern, just ask me directly."

Ah Mao didn't force her. Taking good care of her body was the most important thing now. She was a maid now, so it was not appropriate to lie down and recuperate all the time while letting her masters do their work.

Ah Mao started to copy the pattern that Hong Dou had just drawn. After a while, a brand new, clean and realistic painting appeared.

Hongdou was pleasantly surprised, this level is really good.

Soon the two drawings were almost finished. Hongdou held the freshly baked tea utensil pattern and nodded with satisfaction.

With this ability, I can help her design tea utensils in the future. It would be too wasteful to just do menial work.

"You should have a good rest. If you feel uncomfortable again, just call us. We will be in the yard." Hongdou folded the drawings and sent them to Aping tomorrow.

Two days later, the Xie family's new house was packed up and the move finally began.

Granny Xie and the others deliberately didn't leave the stall that day, just to have time to prepare the lunch meal.

Zhuangzi Shang couldn't leave, so Hongdou asked Aunt Qu to take Danhong to the town to help, and ordered a table of Baiweilou meals for the other people in Zhuangzi Shang.

Just celebrate together.

Aunt Qu is good at cooking, and Dan Hong can help greet the guests. With Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Zhang helping out, it's enough.

After two days of training, Ah Mao was able to walk on the ground. Although it was inconvenient to do heavy work, it could help look after a few children and the adults would also have peace of mind.

"Master, today I'm going to cook some of my specialty dishes, such as white-chopped chicken, braised rabbit, soy-flavored pork ribs, and braised trotters."

"How about making two more snacks and snacks?"

Aunt Qu said excitedly. The fact that the owner can move to such a big new house means that the family is living well and the masters are living well.

Only those who work have a good life, so Aunt Qu is also happy today.

Danhong knew Aunt Qu best at Zhuangzi. She was washing vegetables and answered with a smile: "I didn't expect that Auntie, you have so many special skills."

"I am so blessed today."

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Zhang were also preparing ingredients, and they were very happy when they heard Aunt Qu’s words:

"Aunt Qu, please use whatever skills you have today. All of us here should eat and drink well."

"Today is our housewarming. Our family will not be stingy, lest we make our guests laugh later. Hahaha."

Mrs. Zhang was also echoing Mrs. Xie, while thinking about what she was going to cook in a while. The family is used to her cooking, so they can’t do without her.
