Transmigrated Farmgirl's Scheme to Get Rich - Chapter 225
Jin’er
Mo Yan had heard of Chen Ruhuan from the east of the village before. When he was young, he had read a few books, so became aloof and disdained associating with farmers. This caused him to have high ambitions but insufficient ability, so he was unable to do anything.
Now he was reduced to having to sell his daughter to make ends meet!
“Jin’er, I’ll buy you for twenty-five taels. From now on, you will follow me, and I will definitely treat you well.”
?She stretched out her hand towards Jin’er. Jin’er hesitated for a moment before coming over to hold her hand. Zhao’er entered the orchard and saw Mo Yan holding the hand of a little girl, so asked, “Sister, who is this?”
“This is Jin’er, my new servant.”
They got in the carriage and went to the east of the village.
The courtyard of Jin’er’s house was dilapidated. Her mother died of illness two years ago, leaving behind her, and a younger brother who was eight years old.
??Chen Ruhuan didn’t work and spent his days lazing around at home. He only earned a few dollars by occasionally helping others write letters. Normally, he relied on Jin’er picking up fallen wheat, repairing clothing, foraging for wild vegetables, and skipping meals
Who knew the person who wanted to buy Jin’er, but her father actually agreed without hesitating in the slightest.
?Mo Yan called out for Mr. Chen, and Chen Ruhuan immediately came out of the room because he loved being called ‘Mr.”.
“Girl, do you want me to help you write a letter?”
Mo Yan shook her head and hugged Jin’er, “I like your daughter and want to keep her.”
“She, she’s already…”
“I already know. I’ll give you twenty-five taels, and I’m going to take her away immediately. Please sir, give her away to me!”
??The self-important Chen Ruhuan, could not resist the temptation of twenty-five taels in the end. He wrote his daughter’s servant contract personally and gave it to Mo Yan.
Mo Yan took the contract and wanted to leave with Jin’er. Jin’er’s brother ran out and cried, “Sister, where are you going? Do you not want Huan’er anymore? Do you not care about Huan’er anymore?”
Jin’er wanted to turn around, but Mo Yan held her head and stopped her from turning around, “Don’t look back, it’ll just make you more frustrated.”
They left the Chen family house, leaving Huan’er crying behind them. Just as Jin’er was about to get in the carriage, Mo Yan’s aunt suddenly appeared out of nowhere, “Jin’er, where are you going? They’re coming to pick you up tomorrow, you can’t run around.”
So she was the one who caused Jin’er to be sold. Mo Yan pulled Jin’er into the carriage, “Jin’er is mine now. If anyone dares to touch her, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Mrs. Mo came over and pointed at Mo Yan and said, “It’s you again? Why are you everywhere? What does someone selling his daughter have to do with you?”
“You also know that this is someone else’s daughter, so what does who he sells his daughter to have to do with you?”
“I’ve been busy going back and forth, and I’ve already made an agreement with them. But you ruined my business, how could you?”
“If you’ve been busy going back and forth, you must have taken a large sum into your own pocket! How much? Five taels?”
?The woman said casually, “How did you know?” Then she immediately changed her words, “What nonsense are you talking about? I am from the same clan as theirs and I am just helping them out.”
Who knew when Chen Ruhuan started standing at the door, “I’d like to thank you, then!” Then he saluted Mo Yan, “Girl, please be kind to Jin’er, she is very sensible!”
Mo Yan no longer had the energy to say anything else, so she calmly said, “Don’t worry, sir,” and asked Zhao’er to drive the carriage away.
As soon as she got home, she immediately snuggled up on the couch, not wanting to move or say a word. While Zhao’er lit the stove and boiled the medicine, he told Jin’er about Mo Yan’s situation and explained their family affairs.
After drinking Zhao’er’s medicine, Mo Yan felt a little stronger. Since she had offended Mrs. Mo, that shrew, today, Mrs. Mo would definitely not let it go and cause her trouble again.
She called Jin’er, “Jin’er, remember, I, Mo Yan, was’t the one who bought you, but Lu Junming, young master Lu. There is a sign ‘Lu Manor’ hanging at the door of this courtyard. You are a servant of Lu Manor, and I am a guest of the Lu family.”
Jin’er didn’t understand, but she knew that she shouldn’t contradict Mo Yan about this matter, “Miss, don’t worry, I’ve remembered everything.”
“Go and settle yourself down. When you come back, I’ll make you new clothes.”
Jin’er was quick on her feet. After a short while, she had cleaned both herself and the house up, then Zhao’er took her out to buy groceries.
When the two came back, Zhao’er said that they saw Chi Jie’s carriage, and there was a horse tied up behind it.
He’s come back! He had gone to buy a horse.
?Sure enough, at dinner time, Chi Jie and Ze Wu came, bringing wine and food.
“Yan’er, I haven’t been here for two days, do you feel better?”
??He instantly noticed Jin’er, and Zhao’er told him that this was Mo Yan’s new servant. Chi Jie repeatedly greeted her and handed the wine in his hand to Jin’er, while Ze Wu carried the food in.
After the food and wine were put on the table, Chi Jie poured himself a glass of wine, “I’ll drink by myself today, and I’ll drink it with you later when you feel better.”
Zhao’er said he saw him on the street just now, and Chi Jie said, “I initially wanted to give her a surprise, but didn’t expect you to spoil the surprise. Forget it, I’ll just tell you. I went back to the Upper Valley and asked someone to buy you a horse. It’s a two-year-old filly, red, very beautiful, and has not been saddled yet. Get well soon, and saddle him personally.”
Zhao’er, Jin’er and Ze Wu gathered in the storage room to talk. Zhao’er said, “Now that eldest brother is gone, my sister is only happy when she sees Brother Chi.”
Ze Wu said proudly, “That’s because my young master is well-educated and knowledgeable, and has a lot to talk about with her.”
Jin’er, who was clueless, asked, “Does my miss like Mr. Chi?”
Zhao’er and Ze Wu stopped her at the same time, “You can’t be bold and say this nonsense, you must never say it!”
Jin’er repeatedly nodded her head and agreed.
?After a few days of being cared for by Zhao’er, Mo Yan felt that she had enough strength, so she took Jin’er to the workshop to look at the horse.
In the stable, beside the manger where the big white horse used to be, a fiery red horse was tied. The horse was full of energy and exuberance, and Mo Yan liked it at first sight.
“Chi Jie, how much did this horse cost?”
Chi Jie replied, “I asked someone to help me, it was cheap.”
?He wouldn’t ask for money, and Mo Yan didn’t want to bicker about this. She went over and untied the horse’s reins, “Let’s go and put the most beautiful saddle on it.”
A saddle had been bought, but the horse refused to put it on. As soon as she put it on, it jumped and dug its hooves into the ground, trying to throw the saddle off.
??Having no choice, Ze Wu had no choice but to carry the saddle back and enter the workshop. Mo Yan asked Ze Wu to put the saddle on again.
The horse was still kicking and pawing the ground, and was still neighing. Chi Jie said, “If I had known that this beast was so disobedient, I would’ve had someone tame it before bringing it back. Junming isn’t here either, what should I do?”
Mo Yan smiled slightly and said, “Can we not live without him? I have a connection with this horse, let me tame it.”
?She reached over and stroked the horse’s neck, and whispered a few words in its ear. The horse seemed to understand the words and stopped scratching the ground with its hooves.
Mo Yan got on the horse, but the horse began to be disobedient again, raising its neck and whinnying. Chi Jie shouted worriedly and asked Ze Wu to hold the horse’s reins, but Ze Wu couldn’t get close.
?Mo Yan loosened the reins in her hands, tapped her foot lightly on the stirrup, and the horse ran out of the workshop.
P.S. Exams are in three days. They will last for over a month, with most of my exams being concentrated in the first two weeks. Please don’t expect much from me until late May, but again, I’ll try my best to deliver a chapter or two if I can. Thank you so much for your continued support, I really appreciate it.
