Chapter 50 Awakening
The convoy was ready to go on the road early in the morning the next day. Lin Yue was the first to get up, folded and packed the dried clothes, and boiled hot water for everyone, but she didn't know how to cook, so she picked up firewood to add food. Fire, do all the work you can do.
The boy saw it, and quickly took it, "Oh! How can I let you do it, I will do it."
"I don't know how to cook, and I'm sorry that day. It's my fault that I'm not comfortable taking you as a raft. I'll accompany you."
Lin Yue solemnly apologized and saluted.
The servant was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hands, "It's okay, I forgot, I'm a slave, so a few reprimands from the master are nothing."
"It's my fault, don't be as knowledgeable as me, my aunt scolded me, I apologize to you."
Be sincere and polite.
The boy also smiled, "You are welcome, you don't know how to do this job, I will do it."
"Thank you, is there any work I can do? Thanks to everyone taking care of me these few days, I'm much better."
"No, you are Miss Qianjin, how have you ever suffered such hardships, you have also worked hard along the way."
The boy saw that she was very different from the previous few days, and he could tell if he sincerely apologized.
"I happened to be a guest at my aunt's house to escape the catastrophe. My whole family died, and I was the only one left."
"Oops! Sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
The boy understood immediately, no wonder he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Lin Yue shook her head, "I don't blame you, I also feel like a nightmare, and I can't wake up no matter what, but people have to face reality after all, right?"
"Yes, my father left early. My mother raised me and my younger sister. I can only survive by working as an servant in the Du family. My family used to be a good citizen. After my father died, the clansmen took over my family's land and ancestral property, and they wanted to adopt me out. .My mother escaped with my sister and me overnight, sold herself, packed me and my sister and sold them to the Du family in exchange for a life."
"Why is it so miserable, shouldn't the tribe take care of you?"
This is the end of the conversation, the boy didn't want to embarrass the young lady, and talked about his own tragedy, so she wouldn't be embarrassed if there was a comparison.
The boy smiled wryly at her, "It costs a lot of money to raise our mother, what good is it for them? I am a boy and when I grow up, the property will be mine, but if I am adopted, the property will be theirs. It is not good for nothing. what?"
"How can this be..."
Lin Yue was raised in a deep boudoir, and had never been exposed to these dark sides, so she was shocked.
"They originally sold my sister to the cellar, and then sold my mother to a distant place, and adopted me out, and the property was divided into the clan, just right."
The boy sighed as he recalled the past.
"What, what an idiot! How could this be so, the innocent girl is sold to a dirty place..."
Lin Yue is the most sensitive girl to this, trembling with anger.
"That's right, my mother is kind and kind. My father often helped the poor and the poor. Some people could not see it and secretly reported it, so my mother was able to run away with me. Fearing that people would chase me back, she sold herself and the Du family. , that's all."
"Then you have to be filial to your mother. Your mother has suffered a lot in order to support you."
Lin Yue withdrew a gold bracelet, "This is for you. I escaped too hastily and didn't have anything on me. I made an apology to you for my rude words that day."
"Can't have..."
Lin Yue sighed, "You keep it, your sister will also need a dowry when she gets married in the future, and her daughter's family is not easy, so let me give it to your sister, thank you for taking care of me, an ignorant person, all the way."
Forced it into his hands, it turns out that there are people who suffer more and are more wronged than themselves.
"This... thank you girl. If you can't figure it out, compare it with us poor people, and you will feel better."
The boy laughed and joked.
"Okay, just help me clean up these things, I will do the rough work."
The boy saw that this young lady is not that bad, she is still reasonable.
Lin Yue also felt a little more courageous in her heart. Li Yu was right. It is good to have a thicker skin. If you keep your head down and say something nice, people will not blame me.
She was busy helping with work, but she looked a little better.
Gu Lin was also relieved to see it.
Wang said with a smile, "Don't worry, I said my daughter will be able to handle it well."
There are so many grandparents, wives, aunts and daughter-in-laws in the clan. All of them are so powerful that they don't let people. My daughter still behaves in a stable manner, which convinces everyone. This is nothing.
"I seem to understand the intentions of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I am indeed not suitable for a wealthy family."
With the contrast in front of him, Gu Lin's mind became clearer and clearer, and his demeanor became much more gentle and smooth.
"It's not easy for you, people's fate is destined, live a good life in the future, don't lose yourself, your man will save you first in the end, and have you in his heart."
Ms. Wang persuaded her, seeing that she was also suffering very much. Life is not easy for a woman.
"You are right, I want to live a good life, and I can't be decadent."
Gu Lin raised his head and took a deep breath, looking at the blue sky above his head, silently praying in his heart, sir, I will be fine, and I will not disturb my son, don't worry.
Wang sighed, they are all poor people.
Lin Yue finished her work and took some to eat.
"Morning, Aunt Li, morning, Third Aunt, Auntie, the chef gave me some pickles, I want to eat it when I am on my way."
"good."
Gu Lin raised his hand to touch her face, and smiled at her gently and comforted.
"Auntie, I'll ask you for some rags. I'll make a pair of shoes for grandpa and the others. I've been protected and taken care of by everyone along the way, but I've been causing trouble... I want to do my best for the elders. I'll pay you back. Yu'er is right. There is no such thing as life. There is a shortcut, I can’t escape what I should face.”
Lin Yue lowered her head and forced a smile. The smile was a bit bitter, but she finally understood.
"Okay, you are finally sensible. With my aunt here, I won't leave you behind, don't be afraid."
"Auntie, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I made you worry about me, I made you feel ashamed."
"Madam, I'm sorry, I was fooled by lard that day, thinking that my aunt didn't want me anymore, so I offended you by talking nonsense."
Lin Yue bowed her head and apologized again.
Ms. Wang could see that the child had really figured it out this time. She cried and cried and made trouble. When she had to face the reality, she still chose to cheer up.
"Last time I said I forgive you, this matter is over, help me make a pair of shoes for you Grandpa Li, I look good."
"Hey, I will definitely do well."
Lin Yue agreed with a sigh of relief and joy. This is what it means to not see outsiders. Everyone actually avoided her before, so she didn't recall it.
"Child, life is unsatisfactory nine out of ten times. After all, you have to be self-reliant to make your life better in the future. No one can replace you."
Wang also tried to persuade the child earnestly, knowing that she was suffering, and now that the child is willing to correct his mistakes, he must give him a chance.
"I remember, thank you madam for reminding me, I was ignorant before."
Lin Yue bowed her head in thanks.
This time I suppressed my tears and didn't cry.
