"Actually, I was the daughter of a good family before. My village had a small school in which my uncle was teaching, but I didn't have any brothers, so my parents still doted on me and didn't let me work in the fields like other girls. Afterwards, I followed my uncle around the school, often helping him with his research.
At that time, everyone in our village said that I was the most knowledgeable girl in the village, and my book was taught to me by second uncle. However, after the chaos broke out in the village, our entire family was able to escape, but the fields were all there, so after we moved to another place, our family was at a disadvantage.
My family was in a miserable state after the drought that year. My parents died at that time and I became an orphan with my cousin and the rest of them. I ate alone and my family didn't get hungry.
After I grew up a little bit, I often heard people talking about how bustling the capital was, so I wanted to come over and take a look. Who knew that after coming over, I would realize that it wasn't easy for a girl to survive, so .. I just met Grandma Wang. "
Chu Yuehua and Chu Xuohua were stunned by her words, "You sold yourself to Mrs. Wang?"
Si'er giggled again, it was still the fearless Little Tiger Fang. "Yeah! I don't have any food to eat, so no matter what, I'll sell it to Grandma Wang.
Chu Yuehua was silent, but she thought of her agreement with RuoChu. Fourth Sister was such a woman, without the protection of her parents and family, she would end up living on the streets, making her own decisions and serving as a slave.
"I've thought it through. Since the two of you are following your elder sister, then you can rank them according to Shi Lan's name. One is Autumn Orchid, and the other is Mulan." Chu Yuehua regained her senses and returned to the matter of the name.
The two hurriedly expressed their thanks. Qiu Hua was the one who smiled. Usually, she would say something funny to her before her mouth fell open. There were two small dimples, which looked really nice.
Mulan, on the other hand, was relatively taciturn. Her face was fair and clean, but she was well-proportioned. She looked amiable, and her name suited her well.
"What about me?" Little Four asked with a smile.
Chu Yuehua shook her brush as if she was thinking hard.
Probably because he had heard of her background, Chu Xuanhua did not reject her like he did before. He smiled and said, "Of course you have to follow Du Ruo's name and see what you ladies say."
"Your name is Zhiruo!"
Who knew that the moment she opened her mouth, Du Ruo would laugh. "If Miss gives Zhiruo to Little Four, it would be better to give her to Spring Grass! It really doesn't feel like she has a temper when you call her by her name. "
On the other side, Spring Grass was suddenly at a loss as to what to do.
He looked gratefully at Du Ruo, then nodded with a smile, "That's really the feeling. Fourth'er really doesn't match up to the name Zhiruo. Spring Grass is more suitable."
Then he smiled and asked Spring Grass, "Are you willing to change your name? "If you like Spring Grass better, then use Spring Grass. If you want to be together with them, then call yourself Zhiruo!"
There was a complicated look in Spring Grass' eyes, but it was obvious that she was moved. "Thank you, Miss."
Little Four was worried. "What about me?"
"You! Otherwise, why don't you stop caring about what Chu Yu said, just call yourself Ling Ruo! " This was actually said by Chu Xuhua.
"That's a good name!" When Chu Yuehua heard this, her eyes lit up. She felt that this appearance was very suitable for her!
"From today onwards, you will be working in front of me. Do you know what's the most important thing?" Chu Yuehua sat by the bed, her face expressionless.
Although LingRuo Ruo was a bit more outgoing, she still knew when it was a formal occasion. At the moment, the girl clearly had something to say to her.
"I... "Not really!" Ling Ruo's face was serious, making people feel that she didn't need to doubt her words.
"I know!" His expression turned serious, because he suddenly laughed out loud.
Everyone could not help but laugh.
After a long while, Chu Yuehua retracted her smile and said, "To me, the most important thing is loyalty. Your sister Zhiruo knows this the best."
His words swept away the relaxed atmosphere from before. Everyone's face became serious, including Ling Ruo's.
"When you were outside, you might have felt that the outside world was cruel. Without money, there was no food to eat, so you sold yourself to Lady Wang. However, the inside world might not be as good as the outside world!
I don't have any way to make you understand what I mean right away. I just want you to remember one thing, and that is that you only have one heart. You have to keep that heart in your hand.
As she spoke, her eyes became cold as she looked at Ling Ruo as if she wanted to see her heart.
At this moment, Ling Ruo suddenly felt that she had met someone else. A long, long time later, she felt that it was as if from this moment onwards, she had become Chu Yuehua's person, probably because of that gaze.
Alright, I won't scare you, as long as you remember this point, anything will be fine, "Chu Yuehua's expression eased up a bit, and she continued," Also, I only have you three by my side. Du Ruo came over with me from the south side, so you should have already known that I'm not the proper master of this house.
She's in charge of most of the things in this house. Whatever you do in the future, just listen to her.
Zhiruo was pointed out to me by the old lady later, and she pointed out to us four sisters in total, but now there's only one Zhiruo left. I firmly trust her.
You met the other mother, Xiao, this morning. "
When she mentioned Xiao Ma, the expression on Lingruo's face had an indescribable look. It was obvious that she had been scolded by Xiao Ma quite a few times in the morning.
What I want to tell you is that no matter how much Mother Xiao dislikes you, or how much she commands you to do, purposefully making things difficult for you, you have to endure it. Otherwise, if there ever comes a day when there is a conflict between the two of you, I will definitely help her.
