Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 153

A trembling voice startled Xia Junyan instead. ——The little beggar actually spoke!

"You...you know those officials?"

Xia Junyan didn't understand why she asked such a question, so she could only say: "I run a food shop, and they sometimes come to eat at my place."

"Shopkeeper." The little beggar suddenly knelt down, "I'll sign the deed of sale for you, okay? I can work, I can do everything, I can chop wood and carry water, I don't want anything, just give me a bite of food." Cheng, take me in!!"

"Hey, hey!" Qian Gui picked her up from the ground, "Grandma, there really is something wrong with this person! Let's send her to the yamen, maybe it's Tao who came here to find fault again. Go up It’s not good to be tough, this time I’ll be soft.”

"What is the surname Tao?" The little beggar hurriedly said, "I'm not a bad person, I'm really not a bad person! Please, shopkeeper, you are a good person, you give me food every day, I know you are a good person, yes Bodhisattva, I can do all kinds of work, and I can farm the land, please..."

The little beggar spoke incoherently, and his expression was like that of a drowning man seeing the last piece of driftwood.

Xia Junyan sighed, why did she always see the shadow of herself when she first came here in this little beggar.The humble feeling of just wanting to live, as long as she can live, she can let herself take a breath, and she doesn't hesitate to bow her head and shake her tail to Liu Wu. At that moment, she didn't know what dignity is.Just like the little beggar in front of him, as long as he can take her in, he is willing to stay even if he signs a contract of sale.To put it bluntly, maybe this is empathy.

"My shop is short of manpower. It's not a big deal to take you in. It's just that if you don't tell me who you are, I dare not agree."

Jiang Xiaolian stood there in a daze.It took all her strength to escape, and several times she thought that maybe it would be easier to die, but she was afraid again when she saw the white silk on the beam, and she just wanted to run as far as possible.But she was penniless, and soon after she fled from the village to the town she fell into disrepair.

"I..." Jiang Xiaolian regards Xia Junyan as the last straw. She is a soft-hearted shopkeeper who also knows those officials and masters. If she is willing to help her, maybe she won't have to seek death!

"I'm from Shouqiao Village." Jiang Xiaolian said with a trembling voice.

"Huh?!" Xia Junyan immediately became alert.She didn't forget that the Li sisters came from Shouqiao Village, and their elder brother still lives there. According to Qian Gui, he is still the number one person in the area!
"My mother... asked me to be someone else's concubine, but I refused, so I ran away..." Jiang Xiaolian said, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Xia Junyan has been carefully looking at Jiang Xiaolian.This girl is really scared, even if the people and things that scare her are not in front of her, she starts to tremble as soon as she thinks of her, and she can't help but soften her voice: "Come inside and tell me." She also happened to ask Shou About Bridge Village.
