Chapter 116 Got a Free Labor
Xia Shengsheng pulled Ercheng behind him and wondered why this kid was talking about things that were irrelevant.
This EQ is really worrying!
"It's all my fault. I said a few words to her. Haha, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Craftsman Chen said with an awkward smile.
Chen Siyao looked a little lonely.
But it recovered immediately.
"It's okay, Dad. Sister Xia's family is not an outsider. Besides, how many people in this town don't know about this? I feel good about telling you about it. At least I don't have to hide it."
Craftsman Chen stood up and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he just sighed.
Chen Siyao pulled Xia Shengsheng to sit down and told her why she was crying just now.
It turned out that Chen Siyao was engaged when she was thirteen years old, but less than half a year later, the man's family suddenly fell ill with a strange disease and died.
This incident also caused quite a stir.
However, accidents are inevitable and the incident was over quickly.
At the beginning of this year, Craftsman Chen arranged another marriage for Chen Siyao, and this time he specially investigated the man's family for a long time.
The man is 16 years old, one year older than Chen Siyao.
My family runs a small restaurant. As the eldest son, I will inherit the restaurant in the future.
The most important thing is that he has always been in good health, and his family of six or seven has never suffered from any serious illness, so there should be no problem in this regard.
Who would have thought that she was not sick, but the man eloped with someone else.
It wasn't a big deal. If they eloped, it would only be the man's face that would be lost.
Just call off the engagement, wait until the matter has calmed down, and then find a good family to marry into again.
But the boy's mother blamed Chen Siyao for the boy's elopement with someone else.
They insisted that she let their son leave home because she was unlucky.
To say that Chen Siyao has a bad fate is to say that she is doomed to be unlucky.
Not only did she kill her mother, she also killed her first fiancé.
And their son was also killed by Chen Siyao, otherwise he would not have left home and his life or death is still unknown.
After saying so much, they did not mention at all the fact that their son had eloped with another woman.
Now rumors about Chen Siyao are spreading everywhere in the town.
I didn't listen to their explanation at all.
Just when Xia Shengsheng and others arrived, the man's family came to make a fuss again.
After the man eloped, the two broke off the engagement.
But they still often came to Chen the Craftsman's house to make trouble.
Craftsman Chen also planned to send Chen Siyao to a relative's house to hide for a while.
It's just that his kinship is shallow and he really doesn't have any suitable relatives.
Chen Siyao's mother also married from another place, and Chen Siyao's maternal grandfather and grandmother have passed away.
I haven’t been in touch with other relatives for a long time, and I haven’t found a suitable place to go yet.
"Come and stay at my house! My house is very big." Ercheng suddenly made an invitation.
Chen Siyao looked at Ercheng's sharp eyes and rubbed his hair.
Xia Shengsheng also spoke up immediately, "Yes, why don't you stay at my place for a while? I think if they can't find anyone there, they will stop making trouble after a while.
It's just right, I can also let Siyao go to relax, but our countryside is definitely not as good as the town, I just don't know if Siyao can get used to living here."
Craftsman Chen looked around and hesitated for a long time, but he really didn't know what to say.
He was indeed very happy about Xia Shengsheng's proposal, as he was also going to work in Kaoshan Village.
If his daughter could live in the Xia family, he could take care of her in real time and leave the town for a while, away from the troubles here.
But he was afraid of causing trouble to Xia Shengsheng's family, and he didn't know how to answer at this moment.
Chen Siyao was also embarrassed to trouble Xia Shengsheng. Although the two of them were very familiar with each other, it was always not good to cause trouble for other people's families.
Just as he was about to refuse, Ercheng winked at Ye Chao and Sicheng, asking them to help.
Ye Chao and Si Cheng understood immediately.
"Grandpa Chen, let my aunt live with us!"
"Yes! Grandpa Chen, actually, my mother has a lot of things to do recently, and she is a little too busy. If my aunt could go over and help, then my mother would definitely be much more relaxed. I just don't know if my aunt is willing to do so."
Otherwise, if you are a little more open-minded, you will be more thoughtful!
Ye Chao's words gave Chen Siyao a good reason to live in Xia Shengsheng's house.
Chen Siyao also immediately became happy. "Sister-in-law, do you still need people? If you do, let me go to help, okay? I don't want wages, just provide me with accommodation and food.
I am very capable. I can do all the work at home and outside, and I am also good at cooking. "
Of course Xia Shengsheng agreed readily. She liked Chen Siyao very much, and now this way could help Chen Siyao stay away from the troubles in the town.
I can find myself a little helper. As for whether to pay him or not, I will talk about it later.
Anyway, she will definitely not work in vain.
After the discussion, Chen Siyao went to pack her luggage and prepared to go back to the village with Xia Shengsheng.
Craftsman Chen also had to prepare the materials needed to build the house.
Before leaving, he deliberately pulled Xia Shengsheng aside and gave her a tael of silver.
"This is the cost of Yaoyao's food and lodging at your place. I am really sorry to trouble you this time. I really don't have any ability and no suitable relatives, so I can only let Yaoyao stay at your place for a month.
You must accept this money, Uncle Chen will definitely remember your kindness."
"Uncle Chen, you are not a heretic. How much would a girl's food and lodging cost even if she stayed at my place for a month? Why would it cost so much as one tael of silver?
Besides, if I was given the money, how could I order Siyao to work in the future? I was counting on Siyao to help me share the burden!
I got the free labor, but I'm the one who got the bargain."
Xia Shengsheng's words made Chen Gongshi laugh. Since that was the case, it was indeed difficult to give him more silver.
"Okay, then just tell her what work you want to do, but don't be polite."
Xia Shengsheng waited for Chen Siyao to pack her clothes and took them back to the village.
When they went back, they also took Hu Zi's mother, who was left alone, with them.
"Hu Zi's mother, did you buy a lot of delicious food? Look how happy you are." Xia Shengsheng joked.
Hu Zi's mother laughed so hard that her teeth were about to show, and she naturally accepted Xia Shengsheng's joke.
"I did buy quite a lot. I went there quite late, but the butcher had reserved a large piece of fat meat for himself, so I persuaded him to sell it to me, and I also bought some offal.
By the way, I also bought some maltose.
Come, Ye Chao, Ercheng, Sicheng, I’ll share it with you.
And this girl, who is she from? She is so beautiful.
I'll give you a piece of candy and lick your lips."
Xia Shengsheng was afraid that Chen Siyao would be embarrassed, so he immediately helped to answer, "This is Chen Siyao, the daughter of Chen Gongshi.
I plan to build another yard and ask craftsman Chen to do the work.
Siyao happened to have nothing to do in town, so I asked her to come and help me, otherwise she's been too busy lately!"
Hu Zi's mother was not a talkative person, she only asked one question, what was the purpose of building the yard?
Knowing that it was Xia Shengsheng who wanted to expand the factory, he didn't say anything more.
Instead, he enthusiastically gave candies to the children.
Ye Chao and the others didn't hesitate to take a piece and put it in their mouths. After all, if they didn't eat any of it, it would be like slapping someone in the face.
