Chapter 304 Borrowing Food
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the woman on the straw and heard the whole story from Xie Zhili. She thought to herself that this woman was lucky. If she hadn't been knocked down twice by them, she might have died.
Xie Zhili said, "I am a man, so it is not easy for me to take her back, so I brought her to you. When she wakes up, she will naturally know where she is from, so let her go back there."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Okay."
Since Xie Jiaojiao agreed, she called someone and helped her to the bed in the warehouse. Seeing that her clothes were still wet, she took out another set of her own clothes and asked Cuizhu to help her change her clothes.
In the afternoon, Xie Jiaojiao and the others continued to make earthen bricks, and many of them were laid neatly on the dam to dry in the sun.
Xie Jiaojiao thought that if she could just do this for another two days, it would be enough.
The woman didn't wake up until night. Fortunately, Cuizhu followed Xie Jiaojiao's arrangement and ran over to take a look, otherwise she wouldn't have known.
"you're awake?"
The woman looked confused: "Where is this?"
Cuizhu didn't answer, but asked her: "Are you hungry?"
Just as he finished asking the question, he heard the woman's stomach growl twice.
The woman blushed slightly, and Cuizhu understood: "Wait, I'll get you something to eat!"
"Thank you very much."
Cuizhu smiled, turned and left, first going to inform Xie Jiaojiao, then turned back to the kitchen, heated up a steamed bun that she hadn't finished eating at noon, and boiled some water to bring over.
When Xie Jiaojiao upstairs heard that someone had woken up, she put on her clothes and went downstairs to take a look.
The woman was sitting on the edge of the bed, and when she saw her, her face was full of caution.
Xie Jiaojiao stepped in: "You're awake, are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you need a doctor for you?"
The woman raised her eyes. The woman with open eyes looked different from the woman with closed eyes. When she closed her eyes, her face looked haggard and even worse than the women in the village. But when she opened her eyes, her eyes were bright and she seemed to have more energy.
The woman didn't dare to speak, and looked at Xie Jiaojiao warily: "It wasn't you who saved me."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "It was indeed not me who saved you, but someone I know saved you. However, you are a woman and he is a man, so it is inconvenient for men and women to separate, so I put you in my house."
When the woman heard this, she felt relieved. Cuizhu also heated up the steamed buns and brought them over. When the woman saw the steamed buns, her eyes brightened even more.
As soon as Cuizhu handed it to her, she hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth, looking like she hadn't eaten for several days.
Seeing that she was about to choke, Cuizhu quickly called out to her, "Slow down, slow down."
The woman felt a little embarrassed, but her throat was choked. Cuizhu quickly gave her some water, and she was able to swallow the steamed bun.
After finishing eating the whole steamed bun, the woman looked more energetic.
"I'm sorry to embarrass you." The woman felt a little embarrassed.
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head slightly: "We are in Xiangshui Village. You must have drifted here from another village. Do you need me to take you home tomorrow?"
When she was asked to send her home, the woman's eyes became moist and she choked up as she said, "I...I have no home anymore."
Xie Jiaojiao and Cuizhu looked at each other.
I only heard the woman covering her face and crying, "My family is all dead, even our village is gone! Woo woo..."
The woman cried very sadly. Xie Jiaojiao and the others were moved when they heard her cry. It would be really pitiful if the whole family really died out.
"What about your parents' home?" Xie Jiaojiao asked when she saw that she was not crying as hard as before.
"We can send you back to your mother's house."
When she heard about going back to her parents' home, the woman hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, no, I don't want to go back to my parents' home!"
Then he knelt down in front of Xie Jiaojiao and said, "Madam, why don't you take me in? Can I sell myself to you?"
this.....
Xie Jiaojiao quickly helped her up: "Get up quickly."
The woman didn't want to get up, but Xie Jiaojiao was very strong and managed to pull her up.
"As you can see, my family is also in the village, and we are just ordinary villagers. Besides, you are from a good family, you shouldn't degenerate yourself. You haven't reached the point of selling yourself into slavery yet!"
The woman was slightly stunned when she heard what Xie Jiaojiao said.
"Looking at your body, I'm afraid you've suffered a lot these days. I can take you in for a few days until you recover, but after a few days, when you feel better, you can leave on your own."
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she took Cuizhu away.
The woman held onto the bed, and when she thought of her husband and children, she couldn't help but shed tears.
The next morning, Xie Jiaojiao got up and opened the door. She saw from the second floor that the woman had already gotten up and was sweeping the yard with a broom.
Xie Jiaojiao stretched her muscles and went downstairs. Sun Ruhua, Cuizhu and the others had also gotten up. When Sun Ruhua saw Xie Jiaojiao, she said, "I think the woman Zhili picked up yesterday got up earlier than me!" Then she pointed to the yard on their side.
"Let her clean everything!"
Cuizhu came over at this time very unhappy: "Madam, she has done all my work, it is really infuriating!"
Xie Jiaojiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this: "Okay, if she wants to do it, let her do it. We don't want to keep idle people in our family anyway!"
Cuizhu pouted.
Xie Jiaojiao patted her shoulder and said, "If she has done your work, you can take a rest. You and Hanlu have worked hard these days."
These words really moved Cuizhu!
"Young lady..."
Seeing how touched she was, Xie Jiaojiao immediately crossed her arms and said, "Stop! Okay, I'll go around the village."
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she went to the village to run. She ran to the river, stretched out her hands, and exercised!
It's not that hot this morning and the temperature is just right.
Seeing that the sun was about to rise, Xie Jiaojiao turned around and walked back. There were already many people working in the fields of the village. Everyone had run out of food, but the fields still needed to be taken care of. No matter what was planted, at least there would be something to eat in the winter.
Xie Jiaojiao watched and actually had an idea in her mind, but when she thought about what these people in the cave had done, she really didn't want to use these ideas and help them make money!
Some people in the field looked at her and greeted her.
At this time, Wang Dawei, who was the first to plant sugarcane with Xie Jiaojiao, saw Xie Jiaojiao and hesitated for a long time before finally coming up.
Xie Jiaojiao still remembers him, the uncle who cried when he first got the money from the sugarcane!
"Uncle Wang, what's the matter?"
Wang Dawei nodded: "Well, well... Miss Xie, do you have any food left? I want to borrow some, and I will definitely pay you back..."
At the end, Wang Dawei felt embarrassed!
Xie Jiaojiao was puzzled and frowned slightly: "Uncle Wang, you have been following my family for the past two years, you must have made a lot of money! How come there is a shortage of food?"
Speaking of this, Wang Dawei couldn't help feeling sad: "My husband hid the silver at home when we went to the mountains, but when we came back, our home is gone! The silver is gone too! These days, we have been relying on picking some wild vegetables in the mountains to eat, but...but we have a baby at home..." Wang Dawei felt a little sad when he said this!
Thinking about my grandson, he was plump and white before the flood, but now he is as thin as a monkey!
"Ms. Xie, I know you are a good person. I will return the food to you!"
As he said this, he was about to kneel down in front of Xie Jiaojiao. There were quite a few people on the ground!
