”Actually, I was the daughter of a good family before. My village had a small school in which my uncle was teaching, but I didn't have any brothers, so my parents still doted on me and didn't let me work in the fields like other girls. Afterwards, I followed my uncle around the school, often helping him with his research.
At that time, everyone in our village said that I was the most knowledgeable girl in the village, and my book was taught to me by second uncle. However, after the chaos broke out in the village, our entire family was able to escape, but the fields were all there, so after we moved to another place, our family was at a disadvantage.
My family was in a miserable state after the drought that year. My parents died at that time and I became an orphan with my cousin and the rest of them. I ate alone and my family didn't get hungry.
After I grew up a little bit, I often heard people talking about how bustling the capital was, so I wanted to come over and take a look. Who knew that after coming over, I would realize that it wasn't easy for a girl to survive, so … I just met Grandma Wang. ”
Chu Yuehua and Chu Xuohua were stunned by her words, ”You sold yourself to Mrs. Wang?”
Si'er giggled again, it was still the fearless Little Tiger Fang. ”Yeah! I don't have any food to eat, so no matter what, I'll sell it to Grandma Wang.
Chu Yuehua was silent, but she thought of her agreement with RuoChu. Fourth Sister was such a woman, without the protection of her parents and family, she would end up living on the streets, making her own decisions and serving as a slave.
”I've thought it through. Since the two of you are following your elder sister, then you can rank them according to Shi Lan's name. One is Autumn Orchid, and the other is Mulan.” Chu Yuehua regained her senses and returned to the matter of the name.
The two hurriedly expressed their thanks. Qiu Hua was the one who smiled. Usually, she would say something funny to her before her mouth fell open. There were two small dimples, which looked really nice.
Mulan, on the other hand, was relatively taciturn. Her face was fair and clean, but she was well-proportioned. She looked amiable, and her name suited her well.
”What about me?” Little Four asked with a smile.
Chu Yuehua shook her brush as if she was thinking hard.
Probably because he had heard of her background, Chu Xuanhua did not reject her like he did before. He smiled and said, ”Of course you have to follow Du Ruo's name and see what you ladies say.”
”Your name is Zhiruo!”
Who knew that the moment she opened her mouth, Du Ruo would laugh. ”If Miss gives Zhiruo to Little Four, it would be better to give her to Spring Grass! It really doesn't feel like she has a temper when you call her by her name. ”
On the other side, Spring Grass was suddenly at a loss as to what to do.
He looked gratefully at Du Ruo, then nodded with a smile, ”That's really the feeling. Fourth'er really doesn't match up to the name Zhiruo. Spring Grass is more suitable.”
Then he smiled and asked Spring Grass, ”Are you willing to change your name? ”If you like Spring Grass better, then use Spring Grass. If you want to be together with them, then call yourself Zhiruo!”
There was a complicated look in Spring Grass' eyes, but it was obvious that she was moved. ”Thank you, Miss.”
Little Four was worried. ”What about me?”
