Chapter 15 Hungerbirth

When Chen Hui took a large wooden basin, some old clothes that had been decaying with a long-lasting decay, and a piece of soap, and was taken to the well in front of the Xichang House, she found that she seemed to be too happy before.

She turned to look at the thin boy following her, with an indescribable depression.

"Are you Xiaowu? Thank you for bringing me over here. I can do it next." Chen Hui said. This servant was one of the two people who eavesdropped on the bed when she sneaked into the chrysanthemum yard and hid in the bed. The man who was scared by Xiaoliu and dared not speak.

Xiaowu didn't look at Chen Hui with his eyes, and his head lowered his head and seemed a little shy: "Miss Chen, my father-in-law means to let Xiao be with the girl."

Chen Hui smiled gently as if she couldn't understand what Xiao Wu meant: "No need, I'm not afraid of loneliness, I don't need your company."

Xiao Wu was silent for a few breaths and said in embarrassment: "Miss Chen, don't make things difficult for Xiao. I think you know what my father-in-law meant."

"Yes, aren't you just asking me to help wash some clothes? Don't worry, I'm definitely not lazy, you go." Chen Hui continued to pretend to be stupid.

If someone else was away from face, they would probably have to leave. But Xiao Wu got Li Youde's order and did not dare to neglect his duties. When Chen Hui pretended not to understand the obscure words, he had also experienced Chen Hui's style of doing things several times, and could guess that she was pretending to be stupid. He had to stumble on his neck and said, "My father-in-law said that the young man must monitor the girl aside to avoid being lazy."

Chen Hui sat on the small stool next to the well, and looked at Xiao Wu slightly: "Xiao Wu, please repeat the orders of your father-in-law."

Xiao Wu was stunned. He didn't know what she meant. After thinking about it, he replied in a simplified manner: "My father-in-law said, let Miss Chen wash her father-in-law's clothes. If Miss Chen doesn't wash her for a day, or if she breaks a piece of clothes, she will... be punished to have no food for a day."

Chen Hui said: "Look, my father-in-law didn't say that I had to wash a few pieces a day. Can't I do my job slowly?"

"Okay... OK..." Xiao Wu said with some bumps.

Chen Hui said: "Very good, you and I have reached a consensus."

She said as she ran to the well, swayed at the well with a bucket, and suddenly exclaimed and took a few steps back, stroked her chest and said, "I'm so scared that I almost fell down. Xiaowu, how about you help me get some water?"

Seeing Chen Hui's look in shock, Xiao Wu naturally couldn't say anything to refuse. Moreover, he was indeed afraid that Miss Chen's feet would slip and go down the well, which would be a fatal matter, so he had to pick up the bucket and put it in the well, shake the wheels and slowly put it down.

Chen Hui waited on the side with her chest, and while Xiao Wu was busy fetching water and didn't pay attention to her, she looked around at the terrain. She had asked Xiao Li's house for a long time and knew about the location of the kitchen. Now after a field investigation, she corresponded to it, knowing that the kitchen was just behind the wall in front of her, only a corridor hole away from her.

Xiao Wu quickly brought water. Chen Hui threw the old clothes on the ground aside and asked Xiao Wu to fill the wooden basin with water. Then he carefully selected a piece of clothes with the least fabric and threw them into the wooden basin.

She sat down on a small wooden stool and threw the top that looked very long ago into the water, soaking it all. Fortunately, it is still the turn of spring and summer, and it is not cold. Otherwise, she would not be happy to come to wash clothes even if she was beaten to death, and she would have frostbite! She had frostbite when she was a child, but she heard that her family had good conditions since she had memory and never had frostbite again. She heard that after having frostbite, she had pain and itchyness. She also saw frostbite that developed to ulcer later, and even bones could be seen. It was really scary!

That dead eunuch was so perverted. She was so peaceful during this period, but he came to torture her for no reason! Looking at these clothes, he probably hadn't worn them for several years, right? In order to torture her, he found them out. It was really difficult for him. He was such a slim eunuch, and he deserved to have his son and grandson!

Xiao Wu stood aside and saw Chen Hui just rubbing her clothes in the water, like a child playing with water, and she was willing to say something, but remembering what Chen Hui said before, consensus, and so on, she couldn't open her mouth now, and felt that this might be a dereliction of duty, and she couldn't help but feel very embarrassed. He was indeed not smart enough compared to Xiao Liu. When he heard Ada talk about this, Xiao Liu said that he had something else to avoid. He foolishly took over this hot potato, and now he really didn't know what to do. After all, Miss Chen was nominally a father-in-law's person. His father-in-law's attitude looked a little strange, and he couldn't go too far with Miss Chen, so he really didn't know what to do now.

Then, then pretend you didn't see it...

Chen Hui played with water for a while, took the top out of the water and squeezed it hard. But her strength was not strong enough, and the so-called force was just to squeeze the clothes half dry, and she held them in her hand for a while before dripping water down.

She frowned and waved to Xiaowu: "Xiaowu, come, help me squeeze it out."

Xiao Wu was stunned. Seeing Chen Hui's eyebrows raising and he was about to speak again, he was shocked and subconsciously walked over, took the top and squeezed out a large pile of water in a few seconds. After he squeezed, he wanted to return the top to Chen Hui, but she took a step back and didn't answer it. She said naturally: "Xiao Wu, please dry it, right? I have to wash so many clothes, it's too busy."

Xiao Wu: "...Okay, Miss Chen."

There is a clothes drying room next to the West Changhouse. The weather is good and the clothes are washed outside, but the weather is bad. When Xiao Wu went to dry the clothes, he estimated his speed and confirmed that he could not go back and forth to the kitchen within the short time when Xiao Wu went to dry the clothes and was lucky to find meat in the uninhabited kitchen. Chen Hui had no choice but to give up and sighed from afar.

Slowly picked up the second piece of clothes, Chen Hui suddenly said, "Oh, Xiaowu, it's quite boring to just wash like this, why don't we talk for a while."

Chen Hui said that Xiao Wu was so scared that he shivered. When he heard what she was saying, he immediately said, "The villain is vulgar and afraid of hitting the girl, so he dare not." He was not bored, so he just let him stand quietly alone?

Chen Huijiao smiled and said, "I am just a businessman's daughter, and Xiaowu, you are following your father-in-law. Compared with the two, I am the one who dare not rise to the top!"

"No, no, Miss Chen is now from my father-in-law's backyard, so how dare the villain compare with Miss Chen?" Xiao Wu's nerves were tense and he didn't dare to neglect at all. He really didn't know what Miss Chen was going to say next moment, which was quite a bit frightened.

Chen Hui sighed quietly when she heard this: "How could I have such an unpopular person in the yard like me?" She sniffed and looked at the distance sadly, "My father-in-law is so tired of me, I don't know what to do. I hope to change it with Xiao Wu, at least I'm closer to my father-in-law."

Xiao Wu started sweating on his forehead, and he didn't say a word for a while. He suddenly thought that what Miss Chen said to him today would definitely let him say it one by one when his father-in-law came back, and he didn't dare to hide it. But these words were taught to him how to say to his father-in-law? What "dare not to climb high"? He now felt that his head should not be on his belt, and the girl Chen in front of him was about to pull his head down the ground!

He took a deep breath and remembered Xiaoliu's teachings, "Say less to ensure safety." Yes, he shouldn't have spoken to Miss Chen from the beginning, it is safest to be a mute!

After making up his mind, Xiao Wu looked like a saw-mouthed gourd and said nothing.

Chen Hui said a few more words and found that Xiao Wu seemed to be a little wandering around the world. He called him but received no response. He thought that he might have fallen asleep while standing, so he couldn't help but splash water on him.

Xiaowu hurriedly took a step back.

Chen Hui was a little disappointed. It turned out that he did not have the skill to sleep with his eyes open. It was a pity, otherwise she would have taken the opportunity to take a walk in the kitchen.

"Xiao Wu, I really didn't know anything at home before. Now I have become my father-in-law, but I don't even know what he does. It's so incompetent." Chen Hui lamented again, looking up at Xiao Wu with anticipation, "Can you tell me?"

Xiao Wu stiffened for a moment, thinking that this could be said? He stuttered a little, but said with vague pride: "My father-in-law is, the eunuch in charge of the seal. There are many creations inside and outside the palace, but they are all determined by the father-in-law!"

Chen Hui said oh, no wonder, the original father mentioned the timber business. It turned out to be the leader of such an oil and water department. No wonder his private house is quite large.

"My father-in-law is so great, so awesome." Chen Hui praised absent-mindedly, and then said, "Who is living in the palace or outside the palace on a daily basis?"

She didn't meet the dead eunuch many times. Except for the daytime, the others were all at night, but she didn't know whether he was there every night.

"This, if there is business, my father-in-law will stay in the ban." Xiao Wu said, "Which side of the world has been more in January, the villain has never calculated it."

Chen Hui smiled and thanked: "So that's it. My father-in-law is really dedicated."

Chen Hui's tone suddenly shocked Xiaowu. He realized that he had said too much. After that, Chen Hui asked something again, and he only said that he didn't know and didn't understand, so he didn't dare to say another word.

Chen Hui was very sorry. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. She was locked up before, but Xiao Hu was unreliable. She didn't even know the situation of this dead eunuch. She finally found an opportunity to ask a few questions, but she didn't know much, so Xiao Wu refused to say it. It's true.

Xiaowu did not respond, and Chen Hui naturally stopped talking, otherwise she would be like a fool. At noon, she ate an old vegetarian meal left to her when she was sent to Meiyuan in the kitchen. After eating, she ignored Xiaowu's urging and rested for a while before continuing to work slowly.

After two days of this, Chen Hui never found a chance to sneak into the kitchen. The next day, Xiao Liu, who looked very easy to talk but was actually very sleek, didn't let her ask for a useful question. So on the third day, when Xiao Liu came to Meiyuan to lead the people, Chen Hui didn't get up at all, and lay on the bed and refused to get out of the room.

Seeing that Xiao Liu couldn't scream, Chen Hui didn't say anything. He just banned the food for Meiyuan this day as Li Youde's instructions, and returned the matter to him when Li Youde came back in the evening.

Li Youde narrowed his eyes in a good mood and snorted: "Follow her, I want to see how many days she can be stubborn."

The situation two days ago, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu naturally reported to him. Thinking about how unwilling she was to wash clothes and still flatter him. He didn't know how frustrated she was, so he couldn't help but want to hum a few lines.

Li You thought that Chen Hui would be stubborn for one day, and she would be too hungry to surrender the next day, but she didn't expect that Chen Hui would be stubborn for three days.

On the third night, Li Youde, who heard Xiao Liu's report, was so angry that he threw the teacup on the ground, and the exquisite porcelain was broken all the way.

Ada and Xiaoliu, who were accompanying each other, silently took a small step back and did not dare to speak out. They didn't expect that the sweet Miss Chen could last for so long, and they didn't expect that the person who couldn't hold on for the first time would be Eunuch Li.

Li Youde frowned, suddenly thought of something, and gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, she took this opportunity on purpose! She was still thinking about committing suicide, Humph, I really thought it was beautiful! Let's go! She wants to die, but I still don't let her die!"
