Quick Wear: The Beautiful Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Loses Her Memory

Chapter 648: Once you send someone away, they won’t come back (2)

"Red Bean?" Liang Huaixin frowned slightly after hearing this, revealing a barely perceptible look of disdain, "This name is so vulgar!"

Aunt Liu, who was standing by, quickly put on a smile and said flatteringly, "Her parents are just ordinary people. They can't read or write, so how can they come up with a good name?

Today is the little girl's first day in the mansion, how about you be merciful and give her a new name?"

Hearing this, Xu Hongdou turned around abruptly and looked straight at Madam Liu, her eyes full of earnestness.

After all, this name was the only memory her parents left her, and she was unwilling to change it no matter what.

However, Aunt Liu turned a blind eye to Xu Hongdou's pleas, and just "smiled" and pushed her hard, urging her: "Why don't you beg the master quickly to let the young master give you a good and loud name!"

To Liang Huaixin at this time, these maids and old women were nothing more than lowly servants, and could even be said to be as insignificant as objects.

For him, giving his "things" a name he likes is a natural thing.

At this moment, Liang Huaixin suddenly remembered the poem he had learned recently - "Red beans grow in the south, and they sprout in spring. I hope you can pick more of them, as they are the most nostalgic!"

So, he said without hesitation: "In that case, let's call it 'Lovesickness'! Anyway, the meanings of the two are not much different."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Hongdou's face turned pale instantly, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something. But after meeting Liu Ma's warning eyes, she finally lowered her head silently, biting her lips tightly to prevent the tears from falling.

When Xu's father was naming Xu Hongdou, he also thought of using the word "lovesickness".

just

"It sounds nice, but it's unlucky!" Xu's mother frowned and objected, "Besides, some things are better left vague. Simply naming her Xiangsi, especially for a girl, would seem a bit frivolous."

Father Xu nodded and said, "Madam, what you said makes sense."

"Although the acacia seed is also called red bean, it tastes bitter and is poisonous." Xu's mother was afraid that her husband would not change his mind, so she continued to persuade him, "Our daughter will live a sweet and happy life in the future, so she can't be called Acacia."

Xu's father thought this made sense, so he finally decided on the name "Xu Hongdou".

Xu's mother once told Xu Hongdou the origin of this name, so she remembered it very clearly.

Who would have thought that after all these twists and turns, Xu Hongdou lost her parents and was renamed "Xiangsi"!

She wanted to argue, but Aunt Liu pulled Xu Hongdou's clothes again and said with a smile, "This girl is so happy."

After saying this, he "pressed" Xu Hongdou to kowtow to Liang Huaixin to express his gratitude.

"You'd better be obedient. The Liang family can buy you, or they can choose not to buy you, let alone sell you!" Nanny Liu's voice sounded neither lightly nor heavily in Xu Hongdou's ears.

"Thank you, young master, for giving me a name!" Xu Hongdou tried hard to hide the sadness in her eyes and bowed to Liang Huaixin.

Liang Huaixin thought he had done a "good thing" and left happily after receiving the kneeling greetings from Xu Hongdou and Xiangsi.

After the people left, Aunt Liu also put away her smile and said to Xu Hongdou with a cold face: "If you want to live well in the Liang family, you have to know how to read people's faces. The young master gave you a name because he thinks highly of you!"

"Mammy, if I save enough money to redeem myself, can I leave here?" Xiangsi seemed to be forced to grow up in an instant. She understood that after signing this indenture contract, she would become just an object to be "manipulated" by others.

Without freedom, not to mention living, even your name is not under your control.

Madam Liu looked Xu Hongdou up and down and chuckled, "First you have the money, then we can talk about it!"

Since that day on, Xiangsi got up early and went to bed late to work every day. Fortunately, her job was in the kitchen, so at least she could finally eat her fill.

But every morning before the fog dissipated, Xiangsi had to go to the kitchen to help wash vegetables and rice. Any mistake would result in a scolding.

Xiangsi endured everything silently, and she carefully hid every penny she earned.

At night, when all the other maids had fallen asleep, she would still mend clothes by the dim candlelight to earn extra money.

Fortunately, a cook in the big kitchen felt that Xiangsi had a talent for cooking, so she asked Madam Liu to transfer Xiangsi to her to help her.

From then on, Xiangsi's work began to become easier, and because the cook saw that she knew some words, she began to teach her some relatively simple dishes.

Of course, the cook's job gradually became easier.

Because of this, Xiangsi's craftsmanship became better and better, and her salary also increased.

As the money started to increase, Xiangsi became more determined to save money to redeem herself. She knew that she could only tread on thin ice here, and only by leaving could she truly control her own destiny.

But her luck was really bad. In the fifth year after she entered the mansion, the Liang family was fined and most of their property was confiscated because of the involvement of their relatives in the capital.
