Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 258

While washing the dishes, taking advantage of Xia Junyan and Jiang Luoshi's conversation, Jiang Xiaolian quickly stuffed a silver horn into Guilan's hand.Guilan was startled, and whispered, "Where did you come from?"

"Our shopkeeper gave it to me." Jiang Xiaolian signaled Guilan to stop shouting, "Our shopkeeper saw that I worked hard, so I rewarded you."

"Then keep it for yourself, it's not easy for you outside."

"No, didn't you listen to what our shopkeeper said, food and lodging are all in the shop, there is no need to spend money, even the clothes are covered, I have nothing to spend money there. And as long as I do a good job, in the future The shopkeeper will reward me." Jiang Xiaolian was washing the dishes in her hands, but her eyes were fixed on Guilan, "Sister, what the shopkeeper told the truth just now, she really wants you to be a cook. Her food The business of the store is booming, and the back kitchen cannot be kept busy by one person.”

Jiang Guilan was not very tempted, she focused on wiping the bowl in her hand, and said softly: "Mother won't allow it, how can the girl's family show her face all day long? I have already shamed the family, and it is too late to hide, so I dare not go out again. Besides, Xiaozi Why, if I leave, what will happen to this family, parents are old and need someone to take care of them."

Jiang Xiaolian held her breath in her heart, and immediately said: "Isn't there still the third child! Dad and mother always said that he is the pillar of our family. When you didn't come back, life is not the same."

"But you were still at home at that time." Jiang Guilan said, "Students are hard-working, and they are tired of studying every day, so there is no time to worry about these trivial matters. If he is delayed by these things, it will really be worth the candle." Guilan Putting the bowl away, he smiled softly, "I know you care about me, but I don't lack the money. You should work hard in the hands of shopkeeper Xia, and it is only right to redeem the contract of prostitution as soon as possible. Don't let your father and mother do it for you." Don't worry, you're not young anymore, and it's time to discuss marriage in a year or two."

Jiang Xiaolian was choked up by what she said, her breath was suffocating in her heart, she felt extremely uncomfortable.If Xia Junyan was at the side, she would considerately help her sum up her feelings at the moment—sorrow for her misfortune, anger for her indisputable.

In Guilan's world, it's normal for women to be submissive.Like Jiang Xiaolian, if she wasn't her own sister, she definitely wouldn't associate with such a woman.

When the two returned to the main room, they didn't know what Xia Junyan said again, which made Jiang Luoshi laugh out loud.Seeing Guilan coming, Jiang Luoshi immediately waved and said, "Go and bring the pillowcase you gave me a while ago and show it to shopkeeper Xia."

Jiang Xiaolian was startled, and couldn't help but looked up at Xia Junyan, who was smiling with crooked eyebrows and dimples on her face.But she deeply remembered what Xia Junyan once said, people who do business must smile kindly, even if they are scolding their mothers in their hearts, they must never show half of their face.Somehow, Jiang Xiaolian suddenly realized that Xia Junyan's current mood might not be as happy as the expression on her face.Could it be that the shopkeeper discovered her little thoughts? !

While talking, Guilan brought the pillowcase.Xia Junyan was immediately attracted. Although it is very simple and there are not many patterns, they are all embroidered just right.

"I'm not boasting, the needlework of my two daughters is well-known in the village." Jiang Luoshi was quite proud.

Xia Junyan touched the needle and thread carefully. She was used to modern fabric craftsmanship and looked at this ancient manual embroidery. The details were not lost to the machine at all.Having lived here for several months, Xia Junyan thought that Jiang Luoshi's words were true.
