Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 156

Xia Junyan said: "Only the living will make others worry, and the dead will not. After leaving home, you should have walked to the river, threw one shoe in, and left the other outside, causing The image of seeking death. In this way, your parents will have to spend several days looking for your body along the river. Maybe in the end they really think you are dead and go to Lizheng to cancel your name, and your parents will give up. Now, you don’t have to worry about them finding it again.”

These shocking remarks made Jiang Xiaolian dumbfounded.Although what the female shopkeeper said was a bit whimsical, she was actually helping her figure out how to escape correctly, not persuading her to go back!
"But now you are running away in a hurry, counting your foot strength, Li Shengrong can probably guess that you are not far away. A woman is penniless and has no guides. Now the world is peaceful, and there are not many refugees around us. I need to ask the head of the group of beggars, maybe I can guess that you have come to Yun'an Town." Xia Junyan thought for a while, and finally made a decision, "Anyway, you can't go far, until your father I can take you in here until Mother finds you."

"Take...Take me in?"

Jiang Xiaolian obviously couldn't keep up with Xia Junyan's train of thought.The female shopkeeper seems to be not only helping her plan how to escape, but also helping her reflect on why she failed to escape. Listening to what that means, maybe the lessons learned this time can be used when she is fleeing next time .

"I'm not sure when your parents will come, so I don't know how long you can work here. How about it, ten copper coins a day, food and housing. Washing vegetables, washing dishes, washing clothes and drying clothes, these chores, you can do it ?”

Jiang Xiaolian nodded slightly sluggishly.

——Is this female shopkeeper too neat?
Xia Junyan patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. It will take some time for your parents to find it. You can think about how to escape is the safest way. Or if you don't want to escape, It’s okay if you want to go home.”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xiaolian was left alone in the room to think slowly, she had to go and see how the quality of the tofu bought by Qian Gui was.

Although Xia Junyan also felt that she was a little impulsive to keep Jiang Xiaolian, but because of the fact that this girl would rather continue to live a hard life than being a concubine, she felt that she should also take her in.What's more, an enemy's enemy is a friend. Li Shengrong, that bastard, played a game with the gambling house and forced Xia's family to die. She hasn't settled the debt yet!

"Grandma, are we a little..." Qian Gui felt quite inappropriate when he learned that Xia Junyan had left that woman behind. That meddling sentence should prevent Xia Junyan from paying him monthly money He just held it in his mouth.

Mrs. An didn't have so many scruples, and said directly: "That girl is a big trouble! Although she is a bit ambitious in not wanting to be a concubine, she ran away from home, which is too bold and reckless! Ah Xia, you are showing kindness It's a good thing, just give her a penny and let her go, why leave her in the shop, when her parents come to your door and accuse you of abduction, then you will get a lawsuit for nothing."

"I just let her stay here for two days, and I won't stop her parents when they come. It's even more nonsense to sue me for the crime of abduction. I just hired a guy, at most, because the guy doesn't need much money." The wages are just greedy for some petty gains, at worst, it’s just a matter of giving away some silver coins. It’s only ten copper coins a month, and she has covered a lot of work in our backyard, where can I find such a good deal!”

So...you're always trying to save money?
Qian Gui silently supported his forehead, and it was fate to spread a money string shopkeeper!
