Chapter 151 Taking in
When Xiao Li brought Shui Nu back to the old house, the two children were playing in the yard. Lu Yuan was sitting at the door of the main hall with a book, watching them.
Seeing Xiao Li holding little Jingnian and pushing the door open, he put down his book and walked over, "Are you back?"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw the water slave who followed in. He was slightly startled, then smiled naturally and said to the other party: "This is the water slave who has been taking care of Nian Nian, right? You have worked hard on the way. Come in and have something to eat first."
As he spoke, Lu Yuan walked past Xiao Li, took Shui Nu's hand, and led him inside.
"My hands are dirty, please don't dirty your clothes." Shui Nu was ashamed and wanted to pull her hand back.
Lu Yuan patted the back of his hand gently. "It's okay. I had a hard time before, too. I got much dirtier than you when I was working."
Lu Yuan was not lying to him. When he dressed up as an ugly man, he was not clean and his hair was disheveled like a beggar. He was so ugly that everyone in the surrounding villages knew about it. He was a famous ugly guy in the neighborhood and everyone said that he would never get married.
Besides, back in the village, when we couldn't even get enough to eat, who would have cared if we were dirty? The most important thing was to survive, right?
When Shui Nu followed his own master, the master treated him very kindly and it was no exaggeration to say that he was half a brother.
Ever since the young master passed away, it seemed like no one treated him like this anymore. On the way to escape, it was enough if others didn't steal your things or kill you for meat. Who would care about him?
Now that Lu Yuan suddenly pulled her hand, Shui Nu remembered the time when the young master was still here. Her already red eyes became even redder, and her mouth opened and closed for a long time, but no words came out.
He didn't know what to say, nor did he know what he could say. After all, he only guessed that this was Mr. Xiao's husband, and he didn't know how the other person behaved. What if this was just a polite remark? If he agreed with what the other person said, wouldn't that make the other person unhappy?
Lu Yuan had also experienced hard times. Although she couldn't know exactly what he was thinking, she could guess a little bit and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
If she had not married her husband, had not followed him to the capital, and had not learned to read and write with him, perhaps his life now would be similar to hers.
After thinking it over, he didn't mean to hastily persuade the other party, so he just introduced himself: "My name is Lu Yuan, and I'm Xiao Si's husband. You can call me Brother Yuan."
"Okay, okay, Brother Yuan," Shui Nu was stunned for a moment, then quickly introduced himself, "My name is Shui Nu, I'm the young master's dowry servant. After the little young master was born, I have been serving him ever since. You can just call me Shui Nu."
"Is this the name your family gave you?" Although Lu Yuan had seen a lot of the world in the capital, he had really only met a few people.
There are quite a few people in the village, but everyone has a name. Even if the name given by their family is not nice, at least they have a name.
But the name Shuinu is obviously not like those names, so Lu Yuan was curious and couldn't help asking.
Shui Nu didn't expect him to ask this. After a pause, he said, "No, my family is poor. Because I'm a boy, they don't want to support me, so they sold me to a pawnbroker. The pawnbroker gave me this name, and I haven't changed it since."
In fact, the young master thought about changing his name, but he didn't want to change it anymore.
