"Secretly, when the sister-in-law was not at home, he tricked A-Ning out and married her to the stupid son of the Zhao family, but the Zhao family was stingy, and the money was not much, only two hundred yuan. Chunhua calculated the money, but the money for raising a child was still not enough, and it was a big difference.

When it came to selling, Ergui remembered what the people he knew in the town had said before, so he rejected Chunhua's idea.

"Don't sell it to the Zhao family, a few days ago, I met a person in the town who said that there was a big boss who bought underage girls at a high price, resold them to the south, and sold them to him, and that person sold the children to other places, A-Ning's girl definitely didn't know to come back, and then tell everyone that she lost it!"

"Agui, this method will work!" Chunhua immediately agreed when she heard that this idea was even better than hers.

"I'll do it in two days, and I'll go to town in the afternoon to negotiate the price with the boss, or I'm afraid the man will leave here in the next two days." ”

"Okay, sell it for a good price, and we'll be able to raise that child. ”

After the two discussed it, they suddenly felt that the meatless meal was also delicious.

After Xu Ning in the backyard cooked dinner with her mother, she saw her younger brother Shi and Haisheng next door coming back.

Xu Haisheng is the second son of Xu Dayou, a next-door neighbor, a young man who is almost sixteen years old, with a dark complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes. At this time, when he saw Xu Ning coming out, he had a gentle smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, looking very kind.

"A-Ning, are you well?"

"Well, it's you mud - where are you going? ”

"Hehe, let's go catch the loaches. ”

Xu Ning went to look at the bucket and found that there was really a lot of land, and it looked like there were about two catties. A few days ago, after the rice was harvested, some children went to the fields to catch fish, catch loaches, or go to pick up snails to add food to the family. In the early 80s, families were not very wealthy, especially in Xujia Village, which was relatively remote and had no other way to make a living, so they relied on the little land contracted by the state to live, and the younger ones would go to the town to do odd jobs.

Li Xiumei used to make some snacks to eat and sell them in the town during the slack time, or occasionally go to the homes of people who have happy events to help out, and the family barely survived.

It's just that when she saw the loaches in the bucket, Xu Ning didn't like to eat fish, probably because of the cultivation in her previous life, she ate meat but only ate three clean meats. The three pure meats are the meat of animals and other things that you have not seen, heard, or suspected of killing for your own sake.

Li Xiumei was overjoyed when she saw it, she was busy with farming for a while, the family was tired and lost a lot of weight, and the family had no conditions to buy meat.

So he went to the kitchen, took a basin out, took the loach, poured half of it out, and returned the other half to Ah Sheng.

Ah Sheng's family has many children, Ah Sheng's mother has given birth to a total of four children, Ah Sheng has an elder brother above, and two younger sisters below, and the family is living a tight life, which is not much better than Xu Ning's family.

"Auntie, no need, my brother also caught a lot of them today. With that, he put the bucket down and ran home.

Seeing this, Li Xiumei shook her head and said to the stone: "Are you going to toss Ah Sheng again today, he is going to high school, how can he mess around with you every day." ”

"Mom, Ah Sheng said that he won't go to school anymore, and he will go to work with his uncle, and he will go to the army when he is eighteen years old. ”

The stone said solemnly, and the little man's face was full of yearning to be a soldier.

"Well, if you want to be a soldier, you have to wait until you grow up, how old are you now. ”

Li Xiumei was very pleased to look at her son, and felt that his ambition was very good.

Serving as a soldier in these years is very honorable and promising. In the situation of the Asheng family, it is really good to be a soldier. It's just that Xu Ning thought of seeing Ah Sheng's face before, his career is changeable, and he doesn't know if he can be a soldier.

"Let's go, go wash it, I'm dirty!" Xu Ning said disgustedly at his brother's mud.

"Great!"

Although this family is very poor, they have lived together for all these years, especially Xu Ning's early loss of mother in her previous life, and Li Xiumei also loves her. Especially in the past few years, after the death of his father, the family depended on each other, and Xu Ning is no longer as cold and ruthless as in his previous life. In particular, this younger brother often wants to defend her and prevent the people in the village from gossiping about her being an oil bottle.

The scorching sun at noon, hanging high in the sky, roasting the earth hotly, it was too hot Xu Ning and they didn't go out.

And Xu Ergui in the front yard took a pot of water, put on a straw hat and was not afraid of the heat and was ready to go to the town, looking for the person who told him a few days ago that he wanted to buy a child. He is thirty years old, but he has not yet had a son and a half daughter, he originally wanted to divorce Chunhua, but her mother's family came to make trouble, and later sent a lot of things to his family, think about Chunhua's father is the village secretary of the neighboring village, and he can't be offended, Chunhua can't have children in addition to not having children, but there are no other big mistakes in the Xu family over the years, and if he really divorces her, he can't afford to ask for a wife again, so he can make do with it.

Thinking that it would cost 500 yuan to raise a child, the key is that the child likes it very much, and it is easy to support at first glance. So I was ruthless, regardless of the old lady's deathbed confession that I wanted to help my sister-in-law's family, I wanted to sell A-Ning's girl, and then I could buy something to give to my sister-in-law's family to compensate, anyway, in a few years, A-Ning will marry sooner or later, so I want to feel better.

Before leaving, he specially asked Chunhua to pay attention to the movement in the backyard, how could Chunhua not agree at a critical time. Chunhua didn't go anywhere in the afternoon, so she nested at home, while anxiously waiting for Ergui to come home.

In the afternoon, Shi woke up, and not long after he went out, he mysteriously ran to Xu Ning's side and said, "Sister, look, there's a small thing." ”

"It's ...... Weasel!"

The body is brown and yellow, the head is slightly rounded and the neck is long, and the mouth is white. To be precise, it was a baby weasel, and there was still blood on its right leg, which seemed to be injured.

"This is a beast that steals chickens to eat, and I still pick it up. ”

"Where did you pick up the stones?"

"It's under the old banyan tree in front of our house. ”

"We've got to get it back, it's wicked. ”

Weasel in the countryside in some places called Wong Tai Sin, this thing is particularly grudgeful, once a family because the chicken was eaten, it was killed, the result of the family that night was on its body, tossed not decent, and then there was a Taoist priest to go to the evil.

In the countryside, there are several animals that cannot be touched, such as dogs, snakes, foxes, black cats, and weasels, among which weasels have always been very mysterious.

Xu Ning, in line with the principle that more is better than less, returned this thing, her chicken has not been eaten by this thing, and she doesn't want to mess with this thing.

The stone obediently handed over the weasel to Xu Ning, and after Xu Ning simply medicated and bandaged the weasel, the two went out and came to the big tree. Xu Ning circled the big tree, and sure enough, he saw a small hole in a hidden place under the tree, which should be its nest. Put it next to the hole and pull the stone away.

After an hour, Stone sneaked to see the little weasel and found that it was missing, and it was supposed to be in the nest. Then Shi put this matter behind him, and went to the back to play with Ah Sheng.
