Chapter 42 Buddy
Yan Xuehuai remembered what she said to Lu Ying'er yesterday. If there is no place to go, come to Li Shiji.
Could it be that Lv Ying'er didn't find her aunt?
Sure enough, Yan Xuehuai guessed correctly.
"It's also my luck to say that. Yesterday, the Duke of the United States happened to inspect the Five City Department. He heard that he had caught a kidnapper, so he asked someone to take me to my aunt's house, but..." Lu Ying'er lowered her head.
Now in Xinjing, whenever someone mentions "Duke", whether adults or children, they will naturally think of Duke Ding to comfort him.
Li Qiniang was grateful to Duke Dingguo. On that day, she and her daughter were rescued by Duke Dingguo. Duke Dingguo also sent General Hao Chong to send them back to the Yan family.
Speaking of which, Lu Ying'er and they also had the same experience. When Li Qiniang saw Lu Ying'er's expression, she cried in her heart. Could it be that the aunt of the Lu family is like Mrs. Guo, who thinks that Lu Ying'er ruined her chastity and would kill her?
Li Qiniang immediately asked, "What's wrong, but your aunt dislikes you?"
She still has a daughter who depends on each other, but Lu Ying'er has no relatives around her.
Lu Ying'er was stunned and realized that Li Qiniang had misunderstood. She quickly explained: "I looked for the address given by my father, but the one living there was not my aunt's family. The family said that they bought the house from Yashang two years ago. They had never seen the original owner, and they didn't know where they moved."
Li Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief. Sometimes she couldn't find her relatives, which was far more lucky than being disliked by her relatives.
If you can’t find it, there will be hope. As long as you have hope, you will have motivation and energy.
Li Qiniang’s hope is Yan Xuehuai. She wants to make money to raise her daughter, let her live a prosperous and happy life, and then save a decent dowry for her daughter. This is her hope at this stage.
"Daughter, you also see that there are only two of us mothers and mothers in my shop, and we are busy all day long. If you don't dislike our simplicity, then work in our shop, including food and accommodation. If you find your aunt, you can leave at any time. The monthly money is one tael of silver per month, and the monthly money is given by other guys on Huichang Street. If our shop has a good business, it will rise as much as possible. I will not lose your red envelopes I should give. Do you think it's okay?"
Yan Xue was ashamed. She just wanted to take Lu Ying'er in for a few days, but Li Qiniang even paid for the monthly money.
When it comes to doing business, Li Qiniang is really a good person.
Lu Ying'er was both surprised and happy. Yesterday she did not find her aunt. The person sent by Duke Ding to send her to take her back to Wuchengsi. She spent the night in the concierge of Wuchengsi. Several people at the concierge at night looked at her from time to time. The eyes were scary. Fortunately, someone shouted and said that she was sent by Duke Dingsi, so those people were just done.
This morning, Lu Ying'er left the Wuchengsi before dawn and walked alone on the street. The huge new capital was bustling, but there was no place for her to see.
She asked several shops whether they would recruit people or not, she could do women and write, but when they saw that she was a woman, they sent her away without saying a word. Someone even asked her to go to Yanzhi Hutong with malicious intentions.
Although she grew up in the countryside, she also knew that Yanzhi Hutong was not a good place, and she would not go there even if she starved to death.
As she walked, she looked up and saw the three words Huichang Street. She remembered the kind-hearted little girl and what the little girl said to her, so she came over with shamelessness.
Lu Ying'er was not unwilling to do anything. She hurriedly said, "Boss, I, I, I can't ask for anything. Don't worry, I will do my best and never be lazy. Don't look at me as thin as I am, but I am not weak. My mother left early, and I was the one who raised my brother. I can do it. I can do it and cook. I can weave cloth and embroider it. By the way, I can also raise silkworms. I have raised a lot of silkworms at home."
Yan Xuehuai burst out laughing: "We don't have that much work here, and we don't have to raise silkworms. Just help my mother."
Li Qiniang also smiled. This girl is real, I hope she is a diligent person.
In the afternoon, Yan Xuehuai took Lu Ying'er to Lao Cui'er to buy a single bed, then went to the wedding shop, and bought two clothes for Lu Ying'er. Lu Ying'er said no, but Yan Xuehuai said, "You are Li Shijian's friend now. You can't wear them in tatters. Just treat these two clothes as work clothes. When you get the monthly money, you will buy them yourself."
Lu Ying'er was stunned: "Work clothes? What are work clothes?"
Yan Xuehuai sighed, and she had no last chance to be lucky in her heart.
Lu Ying'er is Lu Ying'er. No matter how similar she looks, she is not Xiao Pei.
“Work clothes are clothes to wear when working.”
Lu Ying'er shook her head: "I can't bear to wear such new clothes."
OK, Yan Xuehuai gave up the explanation, Lu Ying'er will do it herself.
There was one more person in Li Shijian, and the first person to discover was Zhang Wusao.
Seeing Zhang Wushao ask this and that, Yan Xuehuai originally wanted to send Lu Ying'er away, but then he thought that Zhang Wushao is from Laopingcheng and is a person who talks a lot. If she asks her to help, she might be able to find out whereabouts of Lu Ying'er's aunt.
"Ying'er, Aunt Wu is a enthusiastic person. Tell me about your aunt's family, maybe Aunt Wu will know you."
"Yes, tell me quickly. My relatives and friends are all in Pingcheng. Even if I don't know each other, I can ask for help." Zhang Wushu was very proud, and the sense of superiority of the locals in Pingcheng was aroused.
"Then I'll thank my aunt Wu. My uncle's surname is Dai, and his name is Dai Guozhen. He works as a accounting room in the rice shop. My aunt's family has one son and two daughters. Their family used to live in Tieguo Hutong, but the house was sold two years ago."
Mrs. Zhang blinked: "Your uncle works in a rice shop, so the family must be from a good family."
"Well, I heard from my father that my uncle is a 20-year-old accountant." Lu Ying'er hurriedly said.
"Okay, aunt, please help you find out. Don't worry, just do it here. Your Aunt Li is a good person." Zhang Wu's sister-in-law said with a smile.
There was one more person in the shop, which was indeed much easier than before. Yan Xuehuai and Lu Ying'er wanted to help Li Qiniang deliver meals to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, but Li Qiniang refused. She felt that such a place was not suitable for the little girl to go there. Fortunately, she just needed to go there at noon. At night, the person named Fusheng would come here in person.
After working for two more days, Lu Ying'er became more and more skillful. Li Qiniang was very satisfied with her. This girl was not only diligent, but also skillful, and could learn it once. Since Lu Ying'er, Li Qiniang has become much more relaxed.
However, Yan Xuehuai discovered something that Yan Qi had not shown up for several days.
When he went to deliver food to Mrs. Ye in the evening, Yan Xuehuai turned to Liushu Hutong and took a look. The gate of the house where Yan Qi lived was closed, but it was not locked, which means there was someone inside.
