Chapter 218 Women Have No Talent
Yu Chuner put down the pen in her hand, not surprised.

As a little sister, whenever she wants to please others, she can say that anything black is white.

The eight little girls sat together for dinner and briefly introduced themselves to each other.

Yu Qiuer originally wanted them to go to sleep, but no one dared to sleep. They had been drugged by the traffickers and had slept for so long, how could they still feel sleepy?

Yu Qiuer wanted to sleep, but she took on the task of comforting the little girl, so naturally she could only sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman.

In order to pass the time, she asked Long Sanqi to help bring a bag of beads over, and the eight little girls sat around on the big bunk bed and stringed the beads for the whole night.

The little girls were hesitant to try at first, but with Yu Qiuer's constant encouragement, they finally mustered up the courage to string beads to pass the time.

At dawn the next day, Long Sanqi and Long Jiu came over to deliver breakfast. After the girls finished eating, Honglian came over with a bag of copper coins, counted the amount of beads the girls had strung, and paid the five girls their wages.

Yu Qiuer distributed the eight identical bracelets she had made to everyone, "This is proof that we have shared hardships together!"

Yu Chuner couldn't stand her acting like her uncle and slapped her in annoyance.

But Yu Qiuer's performance moved the five little girls so much that they cried and called her "Sister Qiuer" one after another.

Their performance made Yu Qiuer feel extremely satisfied psychologically. She waved her hand and gave each of the girls three big meat buns so that they would not go hungry on the way home.

The little girls now completely believed that they were saved. They did not resist when Long Sanqi and Long Jiu wanted to drive the carriage to take them home. They all got on the carriage obediently. At the end, they wiped their tears and asked their three sisters if they could come to play with them later.

The three little girls readily agreed.

The five little girls lived in two neighboring villages, both in the suburbs of Beijing.

The people in the two villages were going crazy searching for the child. When they saw Long Sanqi sending the child back, they were so excited that they wanted to kowtow to them.

Naturally, Long Sanqi refused to accept it and simply recounted the whole story, saying that her own child had also been captured by human traffickers, and when they rushed to rescue him, they also rescued a few little girls.

……

……

Feng Sheng was pulled by his mother and quickly returned to his own courtyard.

"Your grandfather is almost going crazy. Go and kowtow to him." Zhang pushed her.

Feng Sheng stepped forward and threw herself into Feng Lizheng's arms. Feeling the familiar warmth, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

She wasn't dreaming, she was really home.

After crying for a while, the grandfather and grandson washed their faces and sat in the main room. Feng Sheng finally told them about his experiences in the past two days.

She went to sell embroidery yesterday and saw an old woman lying on the ground on the road. She went over to check on the situation and wanted to help her up, but who knew that the old woman was a cripple.

But even though she was drugged, she was still aware of something while she was hazy, but her body couldn't move.

She knew that she was first taken to a secluded courtyard and then moved to a noisier courtyard.

When I woke up, I was already at Qin's house.

"The Qin family's house is very big. We had white rice and two meat dishes for dinner. Before we left, an older sister came over and gave each of us a bag of copper coins, saying it was our wages for stringing beads." Feng Sheng said this, and then he remembered that he had not put down the bag he was carrying.

She put down her bag and opened it, revealing a large bag of copper coins and three large meat buns that were still warm. The Feng family, who had been concentrating on listening to her story of the past two days and one night, became excited instantly.

"This, this..." Zhang picked up the two copper coins and rubbed them hard. They were indeed real without a doubt.

But wasn't my daughter kidnapped? She came back with so many coins.

Those three big buns were made of white flour and smelled very delicious.

Feng Lizheng looked at his most beloved granddaughter with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, "Sheng'er has met a noble person."

He knew that his grandsons were as stupid as pigs, and God would give him a promising granddaughter in the Feng family no matter what.

"But one should not accept rewards without merit. It is not appropriate for Sheng'er to accept so many copper coins for no reason." Feng Dafu, Feng Sheng's father, was doubtful.

Second uncle Feng Dagui nodded. His family were all honest farmers, and he had never dealt with any nobles in all his years.

The carriage that brought his niece back today was the most spacious he had ever seen. The horse was strong and spirited, and the driver was a woman, so she must be no ordinary noble.

Feng Lizheng stroked his cane and said, "It's indeed not very appropriate, but we are farmers and don't have anything to show for our return."

Feng Lizheng certainly didn't want to miss the opportunity to get in touch with such a noble person.

Feng Sheng handed the copper coins and buns to his grandmother, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I heard from Sister Qiu'er that her uncle and aunt are the only two legitimate masters in the family, and it was her uncle and aunt who ordered to rescue us. Why don't we give them the screen that my mother embroidered as a thank you gift?"

Zhang was a little reluctant to part with it. The screen was embroidered on both sides and she had worked on it for three months. She planned to sell it to "Liu's Cloth Shop". The money she would get would be just enough to pay her son's tuition for the next year.

Feng Lizheng knew what she was thinking from her expression and said immediately, "Yan'er's academic performance has not improved much, so take the screen as a thank you gift. If he fails the exam again next year, it will prove that he is not cut out for study."

After studying for ten years, he didn't even pass the examination for a student, but his eldest wife spoiled him and allowed him to continue studying.

She was good at embroidery and paid the most money to the government every month, so Feng Lizheng didn't try to push her too hard.

Zhang's face fell and she said nothing more, but she was still unhappy in her heart.

Back in her own room, Zhang poked her daughter's head and said unhappily, "I see you just don't wish your brother well."

After a pause, she said earnestly, "Only when your brother gets up, you can marry well in the future."

Feng Sheng pursed her lips and did not refute, because she knew that refutation would be useless and would only make her mother even more unhappy.

Her mother taught her since she was young that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. As long as she practices embroidery skills well and waits for her brother to become successful, she will be able to hold her head high when she marries into her husband's family.

But what she saw at Qin's house last night was not like this.

The three sisters were good at writing and calculating. She secretly observed them and found that they seemed accustomed to talking about girls studying.

In particular, Sister Qiuer said that in their hometown, everyone has to read and write, regardless of gender, age or status.

Feng Sheng had a small purse hidden close to her body. In the purse was a piece of silver worth two cents and a string of beads, but what she treasured most was the small piece of paper with her name "Feng Sheng" written on it.

Although grandpa loved her, he never thought of letting her learn to read and write.

She made an appointment with Sister Qiu'er that next time they met, Sister Qiu'er would teach her five more words.

Yu Qiuer, holding up her pig's trotter hand: Sisters, please vote for me for the monthly pass.
