After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

"It's just nonsense, who told you to do this!"

Zhu Jiangjiang was very angry, they put her in an unkind situation.

If the villagers knew about this, she would have another crime.

Moreover, these children are still so young, how can they afford to work eight or nine hours a day?

Zhou Liang didn't expect that Zhu Jiangjiang would have such a big reaction. Could it be that they did all the work for her, wouldn't they?

"Little lady..."

"Go back to me!"

Zhu Jiangjiang didn't give Zhou Liang a chance to speak, grabbed the sickle in his hand, and ordered them to stop and go back to rest.

Everyone in the field, including Pei Xiaoyu, was frightened by her angry appearance.

They had never seen Zhu Jiangjiang so angry. She had never been so loud when being gossiped by the villagers and made trouble by Zhu's family.

"Second, let's go." After a while, Zhou Liang spoke in a low tone.

The children who came with him carefully put down the rice in their hands, moved behind Zhou Liang, and lowered their heads not daring to make a sound.

Just when Zhou Liang turned around to leave with the people, Zhu Jiangjiang spoke again.

"Who told you to go back to the city, it's late at night, go to my house!"

It's already dark, the moonlight tonight is not as good as the previous two days, and I can't even see the road clearly, how can I go back?

Under the threat of Zhu Jiangjiang's stinky face, Zhou Liang didn't even dare to refuse, and the crowd could only follow her silently and return to Pei's house.

"You take these brats to take a bath by the river, and I will take care of the three girls at home."

I don't know that they secretly worked overtime for a few days. Anyway, they can't do any more work tonight. They need to rest well.

After Zhu Jiangjiang sent Zhou Liang and the boys to the river, he got up and went back to the house to find clothes for himself and Pei Xiaoyu, and changed for the three girls, one big and two young, after taking a bath.

Zhou Liang doesn't know how to take care of girls. The hair of the three girls is smelly and dirty, and they have to be combed several times before they are smooth.

Zhu Jiangjiang lit the candlesticks and washed their heads one by one in the middle of the night.

When washing the last one, Zhou Liang and the others had already returned from the river.

Together with Pei Xiaoyu, nine people sat in a row on the floor of the terrace, watching Zhu Jiangjiang wash his hair for the youngest Xiaojiu.

This scene made Zhou Liang extremely moved and extremely guilty.

He is really an unqualified brother, he can't even take care of his younger sister, and he has to rely on their benefactor for help.

"Okay, let the wind blow in the yard, and I will braid your hair tomorrow."

Zhu Jiangjiang was done with her work. Washing her hair was really tiring, and it was no easier than cutting rice.

Now that the kids are done washing, it's my turn.

She asked Zhou Liang to stay on the first floor with people, and she carried three buckets of water to the second floor, and went back to her room to wash herself.

I don't know how deep the night is.

When Zhu Jiangjiang went downstairs again, they were already leaning on each other, drowsy.

Seeing her going downstairs, Zhou Liang woke up immediately. He woke up, and the eight younger brothers and sisters who were sleeping next to him also woke up.

"This is all the blankets I can find in my house. You guys will sleep on the first floor tonight." Zhu Jiangjiang stuffed the things in his arms.

Zhou Liang hesitated for a while, then nodded, and stuffed the blanket to the second child again.

Only after the group of little ones and Pei Xiaoyu went back to the house did he have a chance to talk to Zhu Jiangjiang alone.

"Little lady, last time you asked me who they were, I didn't tell you, because I was afraid that you would look down on us..."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Liang didn't say any words of thanks to Zhu Jiangjiang, but took the initiative to chat with her about the group of children around him.

It turned out that, including him, this group of children were once sold into the building, but the shopkeeper died of an accident the year before last, and the building disbanded overnight.

These people, either they had just been sold into the building, or they were the people at the bottom of the building, and the shopkeepers died before they had time to save some money for themselves.

Therefore, when the people in the building walked and scattered and had places to go, the nine of them had nowhere to go and didn't know where their family members were, so they stayed in the ruined temple outside the city. .

This stay is two years.

"Is the building you're talking about green. Building?" Zhu Jiangjiang asked.

"Yeah, if you come out of that kind of hook bar, you will be disliked for begging." Zhou Liang lowered his head and laughed at himself.

"But you all know how to read, don't you?"

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Zhu Jiangjiang accidentally discovered that all of them, including the youngest girl, could read and write.

Since he was literate, how could he end up like this?

Isn't the status of literate people quite high here?

Zhou Liang explained: "That's the rule in our building. Everyone from the shopkeeper to the bucket cleaner must be able to read. We have to learn to read from the first day we are sold in the building."

"Then your shopkeeper is quite far-sighted." Zhu Jiangjiang couldn't help admiring the legendary shopkeeper.

Zhou Liang didn't care about whether that person had foresight, he only cared about whether Zhu Jiangjiang would drive them away because of their former identities.

"Little lady, Xiao Jiu and the others are good children, some of them don't know anything, you..."

He wanted to justify something, but he didn't dare to ask for it.

The shopkeeper died shortly after those young children were sold into the building. Some of them didn't even know that the place they were sold into was that kind of shady hook bar.

Zhou Liang never told them where it was, so they were still innocent.

"So you never try to go home?"

"Family?"

Zhou Liang seemed to have heard some joke, "My house has been raided, Xiao Jiu and the others are mostly abducted, they don't know how to get to their own house, how to get home?"

Do they want to be so miserable!

Knowing their miserable life experiences, Zhu Jiangjiang couldn't say anything anymore, misfortune in the world is really different, "Go to rest early."

She didn't continue to ask, which made Zhou Liang stunned for a moment.

Isn't she curious about his life experience?

He had already hinted that his home was ransacked, and only the imperial court had the right to ransack his house. The people who were ransacked were either rich or noble, didn't she know?

That's right, with his current appearance, no matter how precious his previous status was, it is useless now.

That night, two members of the Pei family suffered from insomnia.

One is Zhou Liang who is worried that he will be driven away the next day, and the other is Zhu Jiangjiang.

After learning about the group of people downstairs, it was difficult for Zhu Jiangjiang to simply treat them as beggars.

If they are pure beggars, it is their fate that they go back to wander and beg after finishing their work.

But now, most of them are lost children, and there is still the possibility of returning home. If possible, she very much hopes that they can all return to their relatives.

But how was she going to help them get home?
