|.| The corner of the back is exposed.The frozen peach blossoms shrank into the quilt again.The fire kang is obviously not as hot as when I was lying down last night.But the faint afterglow is still very nostalgic.

The good dream was woken up by a crying sound, listening to the voice of Mrs. Cheng, the peach blossom furrowed her brows, and she could hear Mrs. Cheng's cry in her dream.

Peach Blossom took the trouble to pull the quilt on her head, but the cry became clearer and clearer. She opened her eyes suddenly, and glanced at the window first.

Isn't she in the town? She came back before dawn this day. The town has to walk for more than an hour in a horse-drawn carriage to the countryside. The Hu family is just a picker.There is no condition to raise an ox cart.The town is small.There is no way to have an ox cart that is hired at night.Even if there is a single person who hires an ox cart by himself.That is also a lot of expenses.The Wang family's ox cart in the village is his own.The fee will naturally not be high.With the temperament of Mrs. Cheng, it is impossible to be willing to pay for it.Analyzed.That is to walk back.

The road from the town to the village is mostly a wild place, there is no shop in front of the village, there is no shop behind the village, it is the middle of the night in the ice and snow, and an old lady in her fifties walks back.

As for whether she walked back by herself, or whether she was accompanied by someone, I don't know, but listening to Mrs. Cheng's cry, it's like someone died in the family. Could it be that something happened to the Hu family?

Peach Blossom heard Zhang sitting up beside him, and there was a faint sigh. Apparently Zhang had already woken up, and also heard Westinghouse's cry.

"Mother." She lowered her voice.

Zhang was surprised that her daughter had woken up too, thinking about her mother-in-law's crying, and it would be impossible if she didn't wake up. Your grandmother is old, and she is always impetuous, when she has been wronged."

Listening to Zhang's words, Peach Blossom guessed that Zhang must know the reason.

The tiger girl fell asleep and snored on the side, and Ben was not woken up. Zhang lit the oil lamp and sat under the lamp to embroider the purse. The peach blossoms also came out of the quilt, and she didn't take off her clothes last night.

At this time, I listened to the scolding of Mrs. Westinghouse Cheng intermittently." It's me who is blind, I think she's a good person, she's married all these years, I'm afraid that she will be wronged, I don't give her a lot of money, I don't want to ask her for anything at home, I'm afraid that she will be difficult to behave in her mother-in-law's house, and now I can beg, I won't give up my face to beg her."

"Mother, it's all sons who are not filial, don't cry."

Cheng Dalang's voice came faintly, but Mrs. Cheng didn't care about this." Phew, why am I also her mother-in-law, I don't want to eat, I want to see the old woman's face, this is a hard slap in the face, I haven't opened my mouth to borrow money, I complained about my grievances, and said how sad my life is.

"She doesn't even look down on her eldest brother.How can that old woman look down on our family.Can't lay eggs.It's useless to be a little in the low.How can I raise such a conscienceless daughter in my life."

"Okay, in the middle of the night, the whole village heard what you want to argue, isn't it?" Cheng Laohan drinks her.

Mrs. Cheng was even more aggrieved, with a handful of noses and tears." Shame on me, I'm not ashamed of this, I was kicked out by the girl in the middle of the night, my wife is dead, or I would have died on the road."

After coming out of the girl's house, Mrs. Cheng's lungs were about to explode, except for her daughter's house in the town, where did she know others, and the little money she brought with her was not enough to live in an inn.

Old lady Cheng gritted her teeth and walked back.At that time, it was just dark.After all, she was old.She was walking in the dark.Stumbling all over her body, I don't know how many bruises and stumbling all over.The roads in the countryside and the town are not long.I still have a bad road.In the end, I can only turn back.If I wasn't afraid of being frozen to death outside.Old lady Cheng gritted her teeth and forced herself to get home.At that time, it was almost dawn.

The bun on Mrs. Cheng's head on the kang is also scattered, and the two faces are frozen red.

She sat cross-legged on the kang and surrounded a cotton defendant, crying and scolding from time to time and twisting her nose with the quilt. Cheng Dalang only glanced at it, and then never raised her head again.

After Cheng Laohan woke up from his wife's return, he squatted on the ground and smoked a hookah.

"I think I'll sell the land, I'll go to Lizheng's house to work, plus Erlang, the family can't go hungry." At home, the only thing that can be exchanged for money now is land.

"Nope." Mrs. Cheng gritted her teeth and refused. If Da Lang can't pass the exam, our family will still cut people for the rest of their lives."

Cheng Dalang's hands were tight, he was full of grief and hatred, and even his mother looked down on him.

Mrs. Cheng wiped her nose. Don't blame your mother for thinking like this, if our family has no land, if you fail the exam, you won't have a way to live.

"Mother, don't say it, I understand."

Mrs. Cheng's expression froze." I don't have to sell the land, I also have a way to raise money, and in the afternoon, I heard in the town that the Sun family wants to buy a girl.

When people are forced to be in a hurry, their brains will always suddenly get better.Mrs. Cheng remembered that when she went to her daughter in the afternoon, she heard the old lady of the Hu family muttering about the fact that the Sun family is a big family, and every year in March, she has to buy a batch of girls to enter the house.

At that time, Mrs. Hu said this, it was nothing more than being poor compared to her own family. At that time, Mrs. Cheng was angry when she heard this, but now she thinks about it, but it is a wake-up call for her, and the money in her son's county town has also been found.

Cheng Laohan stood up on the spot when he heard this. No, you're going to cut off the roots."

What is Cheng Laohan? But a rural man who does his duty, in his mind, selling people is a lack of morality, and he will be poked in the back when he walks, and he can't do this kind of thing.

"yes, mother, this can't work." Cheng Dalang also has his own thoughts after listening to it.

At first, he really didn't feel anything.After thinking about it, he was horrified that his father was not confused.Otherwise, he wouldn't feel inappropriate.But when he won the lift, the backer was pointed out that he was sold for his daughter.In this way, he won't be reused.

Even if he only cares about himself on weekdays, isn't that also for the sake of examining people, but in exchange for the crime of selling women for glory, he can't afford it.

"Why can't I do it.I can just think it.Our family is about to run out of food.Why do you still have a celebrity for no reason.Didn't the Zhang family also say it.This person is our family.Our family can do what they want.They can still manage it.I'll go to Lizheng's house tomorrow.Let's see which day is good.Let the tiger girl belong to the name of the Wang family.The Sun family doesn't know how many girls to buy.We have to hurry up." Mrs. Cheng thought that she could sell her rice for money, and she was in a good mood.

Cheng Dalang rarely spoke sharply to his mother." If you do this, how will my son meet his classmates in the future?"

"What about the money to go to the county seat." Mrs. Cheng asked rhetorically.

Seeing that the father and son were silent, he was speechless. You're all good people.I'm a wicked person.I'm a wicked person.But who am I doing this for?The silver can go into my pocket.It's not all spent on you.If this family is still a little bit old.How can I think of this.Isn't there no way out?Your sister is ungrateful.You've got to fight this time.When you become a man, they'll have to bow to you."

There was only Mrs. Cheng's voice in the west room, but in the east room, Zhang's was dumbfounded when she heard that Mrs. Cheng was going to sell peach blossoms and tiger girls to be girls.

Peach Blossom never thought that the Cheng family would be so shameless.In order to let his son enjoy.He actually wanted to sell his daughter.They were really embarrassed to do it.What is all for Cheng Dalang.It's selfish.I'd rather sell people than land.

"Why is my suffering so bitter." Zhang muttered, lowered his head and wiped away his tears, as if thinking that his daughter had also woken up, and comforted with red eyes. Peach Blossom rest assured, my mother is fighting for this life, and I won't let them sell you."

"Mother, don't worry, my dad is confused, and he won't let my milk sell me." Peach Blossom bit the word 'dad' hard.

She also heard what Westinghouse said just now.On her back, she has the reputation of selling women for glory.Cheng Dalang is confused, and he is selfish, and he won't be willing.As for the tiger girl, it's even more impossible.If you really want to sell her, you will sell her.Not the tiger girl.

How can Hu Niu also be the adopted daughter from a foreign family.Selling everyone behind her back will only scold the Cheng family for having no conscience.Even this kind of thing will be poked in the back in the countryside.

The Cheng family doesn't want to stay here in this life.

But Mrs. Cheng moved such a thought, I am afraid that it will be difficult to let her rest, and the old lady really has nothing to dare to do in this family.

"Peach Blossom, don't be afraid, their conscience is black, my mother's heart is not black, they want to sell me, I see if they can afford to lose this person." Ruthlessness flashed in Zhang's eyes.

The mother and daughter are worried here, but they don't know that the tiger girl who is sleeping on her back has already woken up when Mrs. Cheng shouted that she wants to sell people.

There was hatred on his face, but after a few meals, the Cheng family was about to sell people.
