There was silence in the small, dimly lit house.

After Hana's words were finished, her mother fell into a long silence.

Then, not knowing how long it took, Hana heard her mother's soft sobs.

And the father on the bed, who seemed to be sighing softly, rolled over with difficulty.

It seems that my father has not fallen asleep either.

"Mom who doesn't matter, go to Mr. Colin, where you can eat, wear, and live. My life will be better, won't you?" Hana comforted her mother in this way.

But her comfort did not seem to have any effect, and her mother's sobbing became heavier.

"Hana, you are a good boy, and your mother and I are sorry for you."

This time it was my father who was speaking. He still lay motionless on the bed. The breath of the speech was very weak. He took a few short breaths before finishing speaking.

Hannah originally thought that she would cry in this situation.

But it was strange that she didn't have the slightest urge to cry.

Even if it is really uncomfortable and uncomfortable in my heart, it is more numb.

Isn't the final destiny of a pretty poor peasant girl being bought by a certain farmer to be a maid?

Others are like this, and Hana thinks she will be like this too.

Why is she different from others?

It's just that Mr. Colin is really not a very good host.

But what can be done?

Since her father was trampled on by a horse, Hana knew that this day would come sooner or later.

It might as well say that her parents have persisted for a long, long time.

But this persistence is meaningless, and if this continues, their family will freeze to death and starve to death in this exceptionally difficult winter.

Clatter.

I don't know how long after that, the simple door of the room was knocked.

Hana stood up and opened the door blankly.

But the people who came in surprised Hana a little.

Essa.

Hana's good friend since childhood.

Although living in the same village, Esha's family situation is slightly better than that of Hana.

Essa has an Uncle and works as a chef in an ordinary restaurant in Silver Shield Port.

Two years ago, after spending some money through this Uncle relationship, Essa was sent to the restaurant in Silver Shield Port as an apprentice.

One study lasts for two years, and Essa has been helping out in the back kitchen of that restaurant.

When an apprentice is not receiving the slightest salary, he will only provide basic board and lodging. It was not until recently that Esha was promoted from an apprentice to a small cook, and she was able to receive about 2 silver coins and 30 copper coins a month.

"Esa? When did you come back?" Hana asked unexpectedly.

"Hehe, I just got home. How about it, miss me?" Esa shakes off the snowflakes on her shoulders and gives Hana a hug.

After seeing her friends for a long time, Hana is naturally happy, but this happiness is far from diminishing the sadness and numbness in her heart.

"If I were as capable as Esha, would the family still be the way it is now?" Hannah thought in her heart.

Aisha probed the room and felt the atmosphere was embarrassing and weird, so she didn't go inside, but stood by the door and said hello to Hana's parents.

"Uh...Hana, I came to you to tell you something. Tomorrow morning, come to Eaton with me. There is a wishing restaurant there, you know?"

Hannah nodded.

Recently, even she has heard of the famous Wishing Restaurant.

It is said that it is a restaurant that provides extremely delicious food, and the cooking skills of the chef Mr. Donne are comparable to any royal chef.

However, this may not have any intersection with Hana's Life.

Hannah felt that she would never have a chance to eat a meal in a restaurant in the town.

"I plan to go there to apply for a kitchen help. In one month, I can get five full coins!" Esha said.

Hannah nodded.

She could see that her friend was very interested, and as soon as Esha came back, she couldn't wait to find herself to share things. Obviously, she valued her friend very much, so Hana was talking to her friend in a strong spirit.

However, 5 silver coins a month.

If you can earn so much in a month, you can live in the town.

If you can, no, not so much, even if you can earn 2 silver coins a month...

"Then Hana, you will apply for a waiter, and I have 3 coins a month. In the afternoon, I have already gone to the Wishing Restaurant and asked in detail. Whether it is a helper or a waiter, there is a possibility of promotion in the future. If you are good, you will earn more."

"I...I? Esa, are you talking about me?" Hannah was very surprised.

She originally thought that her friend was just asking herself to accompany her to Eaton to cheer her up for her job as a chef.

"Yes, of course it's you. Three silver coins a month? Don't you be tempted? You make a lot more than working as a farm worker. Besides, Colin's fat pig always squints when he sees us. It's not a good thing! Isn't it good to go to town together?"

Aisha grew up in the village since she was a child, and naturally she also dealt with the farmer Colin.

"But I don't know anything." Hannah hesitated.

But I don't know why, her heart was a little numb, but suddenly it beats strongly, with inexplicable hope.

It's like someone who is about to drown, grabbing the last straw.

If there is a way to help the family spend the winter without going to be a maid for Colin...

She looked back at her mother who was still sitting at the wooden table. When she heard Esa's words, her mother's original sorrow seemed to have changed and became less dull.

The father lying on the bed still didn't move, but Hana felt that he was also seriously waiting for Esa's next reply.

"It's okay. I asked in the afternoon. The waiter is in charge of receiving guests in the restaurant. It's probably doing things like serving dishes and pouring tea. And it seems to say that there are pre-job training or something. In short, Hana You are fine!"

Aisha replied.

"Pre-job training?"

"Ah, I don't know what exactly it means. It seems to be before work, study the content of work together?" Esha scratched her head.

As for the waiter's requirements in the recruitment notice, what features are correct and what has affinity.

This little chef girl simply ignored it.

After all, Hana fits perfectly!

This good friend of own, as long as he is dressed up, he is still pretty good-looking, in short, he looks better than himself.

Essa may have learned it from Silver Shield Port, and the man looked at the woman's eyes, and looked up and down Hana.

At the age of 17 years old, the body is almost fully developed, whether it is the face, breasts, waist and buttocks, they are all very good!

But looking at it, Esha noticed that Hana's expression suddenly changed.

Not knowing why, she cried.

Hana didn't understand why she was crying.

Mingming hadn't thought of crying at all before, and Mingming had already told himself to accept fate.

But Hannah hugged Esa at the moment, buried her head in her arms, and started to cry.

"Essa, Essa...I, I, ooh—"

She could suddenly feel her own heart beating strongly.

Feeling that I am still alive.

Esa was overwhelmed by this sudden change, so she could only gently pat her friend's back:

"What, what's wrong? Hana, don't you want to go to town? Someone bullied you? Speak out, I'll help you teach him!"

Hannah didn't answer, she just cried, her thin shoulders twitched and she couldn't cry.

Hana's parents also sighed.

When Esha first came in, she realized that the atmosphere in Hana's house was not right.

But she didn't know what happened.

Because as soon as Esha returned to the village, she rushed to find Hana without even returning home.

But now she can see that there seems to be a big change in Hana's house.
