Chapter 117 Disposing of Axiu
After a few days, Luo Baisu and Luo Baihan set off for Beijing together.

Luo Tiandu and Mrs. Fang sent him to the county, and watched him leave the city gate with Magistrate Tang's carriage, and then reluctantly turned back.

After returning home, there were suddenly two people missing in the room, and Luo Tian felt extraordinarily deserted, especially when she ran into the room and looked at the half-empty box, she felt even more uncomfortable.

After Luo Baisu left, he didn't know how many years it would take to see him again.

Fortunately, the farmers are busy and don't have much time for her to worry about the spring and autumn. How to make money for Luo Baisu's use in Shangjinghua is the most important issue at present.

Now it is autumn, there are fewer flower sources, and the honey collected by wild bees is much less.Luo Tiandu asked Jiang Xia to hang the bee barrels in the forest, so that the honey collected in the future would not need to be taken out again, and would be kept in the hive for the bees to use for themselves.

Jiang Xia has been raising bees outside for more than half a year, and her sunburn is getting darker, but she is stronger than when she first came here, probably because she has made money from beekeeping, and her personality is much more cheerful.

Luo Tiandu sealed the last newly picked honey in a jar, and did not plan to sell it anymore, and kept it for feeding the bees in winter.

When the work in the field was finished, Luo Tiandu had no time to think about how to arrange for Axiu.

Back then when she and Fang brought Axiu back, it was only because she was old and dressed in rags, and she looked very pitiful among a bunch of wolves and tigers. But she looked like an honest girl, but she never thought that such an honest girl had some calculations in her heart.

But thinking about it, Axiu is nineteen this year, one year older than Cheng Qing. In this age when girls are usually married at the age of fifteen or six, she is indeed an old girl at this age. It's understandable to find a way out in the future, but she shouldn't, she shouldn't have pinned her idea on Luo Baisu.

But how to arrange this Axiu?
Luo Tian was a little embarrassed.

She definitely doesn't want to keep this thoughtful person at home anymore. As the saying goes, "Prevent everything, but a house thief is hard to guard against." Axiu was thinking about it. Even if she and Fang stopped her this time, she would still be safe in the future. What kind of brains will be used, she doesn't want to cause disharmony in her family because of her kindness for a while.

Apparently, Axiu's flipping behavior at the beginning made Fang's heart a little pimple. These days, Fang is not as kind to Axiu as before.

Axiu herself also felt that there was something wrong with both Fang's and Luo Tian's eyes when they looked at her, and she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed in her heart, feeling that she had acted too hastily.

She is also a hard-working person, because her family was poor, she was sold to a foreign country as a child bride when she was very young. The memories of her childhood are the cold woodshed and the endless work. Even so, she survived , waiting wholeheartedly for his little husband-in-law to grow up, and when he becomes a relative, he will be loved by someone.But she never thought that before she had time to get married, her little husband-in-law would get sick.

Her parents-in-law scolded her for being a funeral star, and killed their precious son, and almost asked her to be buried with him. Later, the clan interfered to save her from death.Even so, her life is not much easier than death. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law already regarded her as a thorn in their eyes, and now that their son is gone, they abused her even more to death.

Maybe she is really hard-fated. Last year, the old couple also passed away due to illness, leaving her alone.She thought, now that she is finally at the top of her game, she doesn't ask for anything else, just to be able to guard the few acres of land of her in-law's family to live. As a result, the family covets her in-law's family's property and uses a pretext to occupy her husband's old man. house, and kicked her out on the grounds that she was not from her husband's family.

She was desperate and wanted to go back to her hometown. Her own mother, Lao Tzu, had long since gone to seek a living, and she couldn't even find anyone.It is said that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and last winter there was a rare snow disaster, and there were victims everywhere like her who had nowhere to live. In order to survive, she had to follow those refugees all the way north, and then arrived in Jinyong County.

She was lucky and was taken back by Fang.Originally, she was also very grateful to Fang. The work at home was not heavy, and the Fang family was not harsh. Meals were eaten at the same table. Not only that, but she was also allocated a room alone. Although the clothes and bedding were not Old, but also clean and tidy.

After two days of living alone, she began to feel dissatisfied. Thinking of the fact that the uncle of this family was working in the county government office and had a reputation as a scholar, the Fang family only had a pair of daughters and no sons. Luo Baisu is going to study in Beijing again, and he won't be able to come back in three or five years. By then, it will be difficult to get pregnant again at Fang's age.She felt that this was a rare opportunity, so she wanted to go to the capital with Luo Bai to serve him. If she really had that fate and could have a boy and a half girl, she would have something to rely on for the rest of her life.

It's just that she acted too eagerly. In the end, not only did she not get any benefits, but Fang Shi and Luo Tian both became wary of her.

When Axiu was feeling uneasy, Fang Shi and Luo Tian were also discussing how to arrange her.

Originally, according to Luo Tiandu's intention, it was just to repay her contract of prostitution and let her make a living by herself, but Fang was worried that Axiu would tell others how to keep bees at home after staying at home for so long.

Luo Tiandu said casually: "Beekeeping is almost all done by Brother Jiang Xia alone, she doesn't know anything."

Fang said: "That's fine, let's do it like this."

While talking, Axiu came in.

Luo Tian looked at her, and felt a little pitiful. She is old and has nowhere to go in the future. It's normal to have some thoughts, but she just moved her thoughts to Luo Baisu, and she couldn't bear it anymore. .

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Fang say: "Axiu, I remember you should be 19 years old this year, do you have any plans for the future?"

Axiu looked at Fang, then looked at Luo Tiandu, knelt down with a "plop", lowered her head and said: "Since Axiu was bought by the host's wife, she naturally listened to the host's wife."

As early as when Axiu was kneeling, Luo Tian jumped away. She really couldn't accept the custom of the ancients who knelt down at every turn. In the past, she would only kneel down when she worshiped her ancestors. It is not auspicious to be worshiped by others.

Fang was also a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, it's not like this in our house."

Seeing Fang like this, Axiu knelt on the ground and couldn't get up anymore. She said sadly: "From now on, the servant girl will serve the lady and the two young ladies carefully. I don't dare to neglect at all. I just ask the lady to take pity on the helpless maidservant and stay alone. Let the servant girl stay at home for the elderly."

Luo Tian looked a little toothache, feeling uncomfortable, wanted to leave but worried that Fang's heart would soften for a while, so he kept Axiu, so he had to sit there pretending to be nonchalant, and see what Fang was going to do.

Fang looked at Axiu, then at Luo Tiandu, frowned, and said: "Don't do this, if you have something to do, just get up and we can discuss it."

Seeing Fang's softened heart, Ah Xiu cried more and more miserably, and only asked Fang to take pity on her, let her stay at home, and not drive her out.She has endured hardships and knows how difficult it is for a woman who has no natal family to rely on to survive in this world. Although the Luo family is not rich, everyone in the Luo family is not bad-hearted. Compared with the days when she was a child bride Well, her life in the Luo family is simply wonderful. If she doesn't make such a fuss, as long as she doesn't cause any trouble in the future, it is conceivable that she can grow old safely in the Luo family, but all of this is now Ruined by her stupid behavior.

Seeing her crying miserably, Mrs. Fang felt a little headache, and said, "I heard people say that the imperial court has started to move refugees back to the south. Do you have any other relatives in your family? If so, I will return the contract of sale to you, you Wouldn't it be better to find a family to live with, than to be a slave in my house?"

Axiu shook her head and said: "When I was very young, I was sold by my family to someone else's family as a child bride. My family left my hometown a few years ago, and I don't know where I went. The land property of my husband’s family drove me out, and I fled here because I had nowhere to go.”

Luo Tian had heard it all, and had nothing to say for a while.Of course she knows how difficult it is for a helpless woman to leave her hometown to earn a living. She is lucky to have a father like Luo Baisu and a mother like Fang. There are super relatives like Yao Shi and Bai Han brothers and sisters who come out to be annoying from time to time, but compared to Axiu, she is much better.It's just that although she sympathized with Axiu, she couldn't bear her blatantly recommending herself to Luo Baisu as a pillow in front of Fang's face.

Different people respond differently to adversity.Like Fang, she is very patient and measured. She only thinks about supporting her family with her own hard work, and doesn't count on others. As for Axiu, although she is a servant of her family in name, since the day she came to this family, her family has never treated her as a servant, eating in the same pot, The family also planned to live in the same house. When the family was more affluent, they would give each of them a few taels of money and pay back their contracts of sale, allowing them to live on their own in the future.Axiu couldn't even wait for these days, she insisted on getting herself a place in this family by climbing onto Luo Baisu's bed.

The reason why she dared to make this plan was because she and Luo Ming were both daughters, and Fang didn't have a son?
Even thinking of this, Luo Tian felt that Axiu couldn't stay.

Now that her family is so poor, someone dares to make such an idea. Luo Baisu will really have something to do in the future, and the family may not know what kind of chaos it will become.

This Axiu can't stay.
