"Mom, do you know what new things have been going on in the village all this time?"
Yang Lan'er glanced at him, knowing that the little girl had gone gossiping with the three aunts and six wives in the village again, and smiled: "I haven't come out since I came back today, I don't know. "
"The third daughter-in-law of the old village chief threw herself into the river yesterday."
"Oh, jump into the river?" Yang Lan'er raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"But he did not die, and was saved."
"Oh,"
"Mom, do you know why he threw himself into the river?"
"I don't know, little girl, don't gasp like a country woman when you talk, and speak clearly." Yang Lan'er knocked on his forehead.
Xiao Ruo gripped his sore forehead and said in a low voice: "That's because the bandits ruined the night. The house of the village chief is considered the best in the village below. The bandits were the first to enter their homes. When a bandit ransacked the house, he saw Madam Zhao was born as beautiful as a flower, hiding in a corner of the room and trembling in fear, I felt sorry for her, so I just ..."
"Oh, I'm going out for a walk." Yang Lan'er walked out the door. It had been a long time since the bandit incident, why had he just jumped into the river now?
"Hey, Mom, wait for my waitress, I still have some new things to say." Xiao Ruo rushed out of the room.
Xiao Zhu came from the outer courtyard, saw Yang Lan'er smile and said, "Madam, someone is looking for you."
"Oh, who is it?"
"It was a woman from the village, and the slaves didn't know her." Xiaozhu lowered his head and replied.
"Then go and look."
Yang Lan'er walked into the front yard, and saw a very thin woman of eighteen or nineteen standing in the courtyard.
This woman's eyebrows were like a crescent moon, her eyes were like autumn water, and her skin was brighter than any other woman in the village.
Yang Lan'er had a slight impression on her, she was the third daughter-in-law of the village head family, Madam Zhao, who sold her apples last time, she said, but I don't know why he came here today?
When Madam Zhao saw him suddenly kneel down, he shed a tear without saying a word, and choked, "I beg Lan'er to save me."
"Hey! You get up first, get up and talk carefully. "Yang Lan'er dodged his body, did not receive his reward, and gestured for Xiaoruo Xiaozhu to help him stand up.
"If Lan'er doesn't promise me, I won't be able to kneel here today." Madam Zhao encouraged the support of the two maids.
The smile on Yang Lan'er's face faded away, and he said softly, "Master Zhao, you better get up first then talk. Is there anything you can't get past?"
"Lan'er, have you heard of me?"
Yang Lan'er nodded.
"I was literally driven everywhere, please take me in, I can cook, wash and sweep the floor, I can do anything, I can endure all kinds of hardships, he said, I'm just asking you to give me a place to stay ... . "As he spoke, he sobbed again.
The two servants could not afford it.
Yang Lan'er frowned. From her cries, she learned that Zhao's affairs were known to everyone. The village chief's family divorced him, and his birth family refused to accept him. Although her husband was by her side, in the end unable to withstand the family pressure, she had to compromise in the end.
"Brother, if the family needs a servant, just accept him. Saving one's life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
Yang Lan'er turned around, and saw the county magistrate, Tan Anjun, and Su Yongyuan standing at the door of the study.
Upon hearing those words, Madam Zhao immediately kowtowed to the county magistrate: "Thank you for accepting this young master, and the slaves are very grateful."
Yang Lan'er frowned, feeling annoyed, Su Yongqing must have taken care of her own affairs too much, but she did not want to save her face as she spoke, after all, they had to rely on her for some matters now. .
