The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 19

The beeping on the street sounded, and Widow Chen yawned lazily: "Let's talk about it later, I don't know if I can continue the sweet dream I just had. I really hate that stupid girl to death." Yes, do my best to spoil my good deeds."

Just as Widow Chen turned around after she finished speaking, Bai Jiujiu suddenly rushed out from a certain dark path.

"Sister, wait, you forgot to keep your promise." Bai Jiujiu shouted out of breath.

Widow Chen stopped and looked at Bai Jiujiu mockingly: "Are you so unwilling to kill you?"

Jiujiu froze and hesitated.I'm tired from picking up firewood in the middle of the night, okay?Why not only no one praised her for this, but everyone came to embarrass her?As if I owe them some deep hatred, why bother!
Bai Jiujiu shook her head in confusion. In her opinion, instead of guessing riddles by herself, it would be better to use that time to sleep and eat.So, thinking of these, she decided that it would be better to tell the purpose here as soon as possible.Because judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that Widow Chen will take the initiative to carry out her promise.

"Cake, you agreed that I would reward me with cakes after chopping the firewood." Thinking of the firewood in the oxcart, Jiujiu wanted to ask for more as if he wanted to increase the price.But seeing Widow Chen's completely unfriendly face, she immediately dismissed that idea.

Sure enough, Widow Chen was angry.What's the matter with this girl!I had done enough to give Fat Aunt face, and before she finished chopping firewood, I sent a bowl of noodles, but now she just picked up a few firewood, and came to ask for pancakes again.Did she treat herself like a pig or something.Judging from such a way to eat, wouldn't he soon eat up his own kitchen?

Immediately, his face sank and he said: "You can eat cakes! But you must ensure that there is enough firewood every day. If there is not enough at any time, then you will have no cakes or other cakes or rice for that day!"

Immediately, Jiujiu's little mouth, which was full of longing and greedy, shrank.I finally picked up an oxcart of firewood, and it is still unknown whether it will be enough to burn, but I have to wait until the evening to finish dinner before I know if I am eligible to eat!
Seeing everyone leaving with a smile or a yawn stretching their waists, Jiujiu stomped her feet and decided not to think too much.What to think, it's useless for her to think, everything is not up to her.Let's wait until tomorrow night to meet "Junior Brother" and coax him to get him something to eat.So regardless of whether it fits or not, I got into a hut nearby and fell asleep.

Because she was too tired, Bai Jiujiu slept very deeply.She didn't even know that several people stood in front of her and chatted for a long time about how to deal with her.

When the division of labor was completed, and Granny Zhu, who was assigned to Bai Jiujiu's day job, woke her up excitedly, Jiujiu realized that another hard day of hard work was about to begin.

She was also not curious about who Granny Zhu was, and what she was waiting for standing beside her.Just sat up lazily, tidying up the tattered clothes that didn't really need to be tidied up.It wasn't until the mother-in-law threw her a relatively intact but also plain dress that Jiujiu looked at the middle-aged man in front of her, no, it was an old woman.

This is a stooped old woman.His head was full of white hair, his face was wrinkled, and only his eyes were so clear.At this moment, she looked at Bai Jiujiu's face without any trace of disgust or impatience.But always smiling.That expression was even more kind and gentle than Fat Auntie's.It made Jiujiu think of his master Taibai Zhenjun for no reason.

At that moment, something called warmth slowly passed through Jiujiu's heart.

"Put it on, what are you doing in a daze!" Seeing Bai Jiujiu, Granny Zhu either didn't look at her, or couldn't look away.At that time, I was embarrassed, so I urged it.

"Oh." Jiujiu replied foolishly, stretching out her arm and going to put it on.

"Ah, your clothes are ragged and dirty. What are you doing wearing them? Take them off. Put them on again after you take them off. It's comfortable, and it's not easy to get dirty." As he said that, he was about to help Jiujiu tear off the clothes on his body. A torn piece of clothing.

It doesn't matter if you don't pull it, Jiujiu's small figure is completely exposed.The mother-in-law was so dumbfounded, she exhaled "God sees you".Seeing this, Jiujiu knew it was embarrassing, and hurriedly reached out to put on the clean clothes, but she was stopped by her mother-in-law again.

"Oh yo, what are you in a hurry to wear now that it's all like this? Come on, while it's still early, we have plenty of time, let Liu San bring a bucket of water first." As she said, Granny Zhu didn't care about Bai Jiujiu's stupidity. Looking at the expression on his face, he walked to the door with big feet and greeted him.

"Liu San, bring a bucket of water to this room!"

Liu San was busy carrying water, but when she saw Granny Zhu shouting, she didn't even answer, and just scooped up a bucket and quickly brought it over.He didn't understand until Granny Zhu asked him to bring a bathtub again when he walked into the house.

"Grandma Zhu, after staying in Chunyue Tower for a long time, you are like a girl studying and starting to take a bath in the morning."

"Bah, bah, bah! Who would learn from them! If my two grandsons were not waiting for me to earn money for them to build a house and marry a wife, my old lady, I wouldn't want to stay in such a smoky place!" Granny Zhu expressed while poohing on the ground. Frustration with life.

Seeing her mother-in-law's kind eyes just now filled with disdain and anger, Bai Jiujiu finally realized that this mother-in-law didn't like this place.Hey, isn't that the same as yourself?Naturally, I put my mother-in-law and myself in the same category.

But soon, she was disappointed again.Although people don't like this place, they are free enough. Ask Liu San to carry water and Liu San will carry water, and ask Liu San to take a bathtub and Liu San will take a bathtub.Moreover, even though the clothes are coarse cloth, they are also intact and clean. They don't look like me, not to mention being beaten, even though they picked up so much firewood, they still haven't gotten anything to eat.Oh, bitterness!

Liu San poured the water swiftly, and quickly backed out.Without him, even though Granny Zhu is getting old, she is still a woman, and it will be troublesome if Widow Chen sees it.So hurry back to your post and get busy.

"Hurry up and wash. It's not that my old lady is in a hurry, but I'm worried that if you go out late and be bumped into by those foxes, you will suffer again." Granny Zhu reminded Bai Jiujiu as she walked towards the door.

"Oh, thank you mother-in-law." Although Jiujiu couldn't understand why the women in this building rejected her so much, and made things difficult for herself and bullied herself several times, she understood one thing, that is, every time she met the most beautiful woman named Ruo Unlucky women must be.

So, I didn't have the time to enjoy the fun of taking a bath, so I washed and wiped off casually, and then put on the clothes that Granny Zhu gave me.

"Well, not bad. The little girl should be clean and fresh like this." Granny Zhu looked at Bai Jiujiu, who was clearly refreshed, and nodded in satisfaction immediately.

No matter how puzzled and amazed Liu San was when he was carrying the water, Granny Zhu picked up a vegetable basket and handed it to Jiujiu.He pushed a small cart by himself.

"Go, let's go shopping with my mother-in-law."
