Chapter 126: A New Beginning, Clear Mountains as Before
In my eyes, you are like a god.
When Shen Zhaodi said this, her eyes were red, but Shen Tang could see piety in her sparkling tears.
Yes, pious.
For a moment, Shen Tang was at a loss.
Although at the beginning she wanted to make life better for herself and the people around her, and to have more freedom.
But now looking at Shen Zhaodi, Shen Tang felt that everything he had worked hard for was different.
Her efforts can be the redemption for an ordinary girl who has been trying but failed.
Inexplicably, Shen Tang felt a little sad. She took the handkerchief from Shen Zhaodi's hand, wiped her hands carefully, and spoke softly:
"If you sign a thirty-year contract with me, you will be mine for the next thirty years!
How can my people shed tears?
The people around me should always have a smile on their faces."
Green Bamboo beside him smiled and said:
"That's right, Sister Zhaodi, our boss is a third-rank county marquis! Our good days are still to come!"
Luzhu looked at Shen Zhaodi and thought of herself. Being brought back by the girl was like a dream.
She's obviously a girl younger than her, how could she be so powerful!
Powerful yet gentle!
The deed has been drawn up.
The contracts of the Great Qi were highly protected and were very different from the labor contracts of later generations.
Once such a long-term contract was signed, the owner would be bound to work for the master for the next few decades. If one wanted to break the contract later and buy back their freedom, it would cost a high price.
A long-term contract was signed, for thirty years and fifty taels of silver, which was the money used to buy Shen Zhaodi's freedom.
Of course, Shen Tang will still pay the wages.
"You are the first long-term worker I have signed, so you are naturally different from others. From now on, you will stay by my side.
This way, your parents won't have any trouble with you. Secondly, you should learn some skills to support yourself in these thirty years."
After this incident, Shen Tang also realized that Shen Zhaodi was a person of perseverance.
Such people are likely to succeed no matter what they do.
And she now has an important thing on hand that she has not yet started to implement.
"Sister Zhaodi, do you want to change your name?"
To be honest, the name Zhaodi sounds very patriarchal.
Shen Tang doesn't like it.
"May I!"
Shen Zhaodi looked at Shen Tang,
"Of course I do!"
Zhaodi, Zhaodi! Her mother is dead, she can’t have a brother.
"Why not call it Chuqing? A new beginning is like the beginning, the clear mountains are like the old ones! May you live a long life free from worries and pain, and may your life be full of flowers and splendor!"
"Okay, then I'll be called Chuqing from now on!"
The two Lius actually knew about Shen Zhaodi, no, Shen Chuqing's affairs.
Living in the same village, how could he not know?
It’s just that Chu Qing had parents before, so others could only say a few fair words to her.
At that time, the family had not yet split up, and I was already living a difficult life, so I was unable to take care of my children even though I wanted to.
But things are different now. Since Shen Tang recovered, Liu has gone to the temple to burn incense on the first and fifteenth days of every month.
If I see someone around me in trouble, I am willing to lend a hand.
Liu naturally agreed with Shen Chuqing's decision.
This is a good deed, and it will be rewarded!
From then on, Shen Chuqing lived in Shen Tang's house and learned to read and do things with Lu Zhu.
At the workshop, Shen Tang picked someone to take Shen Chuqing's previous position.
A girl in her teens, at the age of budding, Shen Chuqing has been with Shen Tang, but in just a short period of time, she has become very different from before.
Although he rarely spoke unless Shen Tang gave him instructions, his overall temperament was different from before.
"Humph, no matter how good it is, it's still like being someone else's servant!"
"Well, if being Shen Tang's servant brings such a good life, I would be willing to do it!"
"Yes, now she's Sister Zhaodi, ah, no, now she's Sister Chuqing. She's wearing new clothes, and I saw Luzhu helping her learn to read and write a few days ago!"
......
By the Qingshui River, many girls gathered together to chat while washing clothes.
Seeing Luzhu and Chuqing approaching, the discussions gradually stopped.
Chu Qing, who came closer, was even more enviable. Her face had become much whiter and her figure was even better.
"Who were I then? It turned out to be Miss Chuqing and Miss Luzhu. It's different to be around a county marquis. I think the clothes are made of better material than your father's."
This is a bit too much. If a daughter dresses better than her father, it would be considered extremely unfilial if someone said this.
Shen Chuqing looked at a woman squatting not far away. It turned out that she was a woman who was on good terms with Liang.
"Auntie, you're jealous, aren't you? If you also want to wear this fine material, I'll ask the employer if they still need a permanent worker for you. But—"
Chu Qing looked her over.
"Just what?"
"But the boss doesn't look down on people like you who say the grapes are sour because they can't eat them."
"you!"
When Shen Chuqing said this, many people laughed.
Although some of them are envious and dislike others, they will not be the first to speak out.
The other person's face turned red after hearing the ridicule, and he left with the basin without finishing washing the clothes.
"Sister Luzhu, the silver hairpin on your head is so beautiful. Where did you buy it?"
They were all from the same village, and someone saw that the situation was awkward and spoke up to ease the situation.
"Is this what you're talking about?"
Luzhu took off the hairpin on her head with a smile on her face.
"This was a few days ago. My boss knew it was my birthday and gave it to me as a birthday gift."
The bright smile on Luzhu's face stung the others present.
Now I am really envious!
A hairpin like this would cost a lot of materials, not to mention the labor cost!
"Shen Tang is so nice to you guys!"
Someone sighed.
Luzhu and Chuqing looked at each other.
The boss is naturally very good.
The conversation by the river naturally reached Liang's ears.
Liang was so angry that she couldn't even eat dinner properly.
We can't just let this matter go like this!
By the way, that dead girl has a brother, and the brother and sister have a very good relationship.
Even though the dead girl is not at home, the money should still be there.
In the candlelight, there was Liang's cold eyes.
It's getting cold, it's time to let that dead girl's brother go home.
After Shen Chuanzong received the news that his family was going to harvest rice, he hurried home.
Unexpectedly, when he entered the village, everyone looked at him differently, and some even came up to congratulate him.
After asking, I found out that my sister had signed a 30-year contract with Shen Tang.
Shen Chuanzong went straight to the door of his house without entering, and turned to go to Shen Tang's house.
The person who opened the door for Shen Chuanzong was Shen Chuqing.
"Brother, why are you back?"
