Zuifeng Lou ordered some more tofu, and Shumin and Zhengxing's daughter-in-law were a little busy making tofu together. These days, she was thinking about whether to invite someone to come over to deal with it first, but the place at home was so big, and there was only one stove, and she couldn't cope with it if she invited someone, so she stopped thinking and honestly stayed at home to make tofu.

There was a knock on the door of "Tuk Tuk", and Shumin asked Feng An to hurry up and open the door.

"Do you want to buy tofu?" asked Feng Yasu, seeing that it was a stranger.

"The little one is here to find Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Yaziluo, a native of West Street, asked Mrs. Qin to go to the city. The little girl saw that it was a child who opened the door, but she didn't dare to look down on it, and hurriedly said her origin and purpose.

"Wait. When Feng An heard this, he immediately ran to the kitchen to tell Sù Shumin. Shu Min thought that Luo Zhi was looking for something about him, so he curiously went to the little guy to ask for clarification.

The little guy replied, "The little one is just a messenger, and I don't know what happened, so the Qin woman should go and ask my wife directly." ”

Could it be that Hui'er's matter has been completed? Shumin thought to herself, quickly cleaned up, and followed the little girl all the way into the city. Along the way, she was anxious, and kept asking the little guy, but the little guy didn't know very well, and Shumin's heart seemed to have ants crawling over.

As soon as she entered the city, Shumin saw Zhang Li carrying a large bag and a small bag to drive the ox cart, her eyes kept staring at the package on the ox cart, beware of someone taking the opportunity to steal it, but she didn't see Shu Min passing by her. Shu Min naturally didn't take the initiative to go up to say hello, and followed the little guy to the west of the city.

Luo was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Shumin, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Hui'er Niang, I can be regarded as living up to your entrustment and getting things done. ”

"You mean?" Although Shumin had been guessing so all the way, she was still very excited when Luo said it so bluntly.

"Where's Hui'er? where is she now?"

"Inside, I just cried, and I finally fell asleep. Roche hurriedly welcomed Shumin in.

In the hall, on the recliner, Hui'er's small body was curled up, leaning on it, sleeping on it, covered with a small quilt. There were still some tear stains hanging from the corners of his eyes.

Even though she was still young, she knew about being sold. I guess it's sad to be sold by a loved one.

"Hui'er, Hui'er. Shu Min looked at the little face with pity and gently helped her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"This kid is really distressing. When her grandmother sold her, she watched from the sidelines, but she didn't cry or make trouble, and she couldn't help crying as soon as her grandmother left. Although the child is young, she also knows that the family doesn't want her anymore!

"This is really thanks to Aunt Luo. I guess you came to me for this, so I'll take all the money with you!"

"That silver is according to what we discussed last time. I was afraid that her milk would regret it, and I didn't lower the price. Roche pretended to be a little embarrassed and said. Shu Min understood, and immediately took out a silver ticket of fifty taels. These fifty taels are the money that was sold to the dried tofu and others in Zuifeng Lou last time.

Luo took it happily, and couldn't help but praise in his heart, "It's my mother!"

He took out Hui'er's deed of sale and handed it to Shumin. smiled and said, "This is Hui'er's deed of sale, now she belongs to you seriously, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, she can't be separated from you." ”

Shumin accepted Hui'er's deed of sale, and took out two taels of silver to Luo's to thank her for her help, Luo thought that he had already earned twenty taels from others, and he would be really embarrassed to collect the money again. So I hurriedly pushed it.

"Then I owe you a favor for this matter, if you need my help in the future, Aunt Luo, you are welcome. Shu Min saw that she refused to accept the reward money, so she had to give up.

The children slept relatively well, and Shumin tried to wake Hui'er up but failed, so she had to hire an ox cart with her and go home.

When Hui'er woke up, she found herself lying on the small bed in her mother's room, and she was confused for a while, not knowing what had happened.

"Mother?" she tried to whisper. But no one responded, she got up and rushed to the yard: her mother was scooping soy milk in the kitchen, the annoying cousin was helping on the side, Uncle Zhengxing was still sitting next to the stone mill grinding tofu, and Aunt Zhengxing was carefully scooping the bean curd into the mold to press this qiē busy and beautiful

"Mother" Hui'er didn't dare to scream loudly, for fear that it would be a dream, and it would wake it up if it was too loud.

"Ah, my cousin is awake. Feng An was the first to find her, and hurriedly ran to her, reaching out to touch her head, unprecedentedly, Hui'er didn't hide, which made Feng An very happy.

"Are you hungry, do you want to eat soy milk or bean curd?" Feng An asked earnestly.

Hui'er ignored him and called out to Zhengxing and Zhengxing's daughter-in-law, "Uncle, aunt." ”

"Oh, our Hui'er mouth is so sweet, come to Auntie's place, I left you a bean curd. Zhengxing's daughter-in-law was happy, and hurriedly pulled Hui'er into the courtyard and let her sit on the small stool next to the small stone table. I went to the kitchen and brought her bean curd.

Feng An also followed, and said to Zhengxing's daughter-in-law, "Auntie, I want it too." After speaking, he winked at Hui'er.

"You still eat? You just ate it, can you fit it in your stomach?" Zhengxing's daughter-in-law ignored him, and only filled a big bowl for Hui'er. "Come on, Hui'er eat more, look at it, her little face has become thin like this!"

Zhengxing also said next to him, "Yes, Hui'er really wants to eat more." Feng'an, you can rest, and we'll eat later!"

Feng An didn't really want to eat, he just didn't want to join in the fun, and when he heard the adults say this, he didn't make a fuss, lying on the stone table and watching Hui'er eat in small bites. Say a word or two from time to time. Most of the time, though, Hui'er ignored him.

While eating bean curd, Hui'er looked at the kitchen, where her mother was squeezing soy milk.

Shumin also looked at Hui'er with a smile from time to time while squeezing soy milk, and every time the mother and daughter made eye contact, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Hui'er was still young, and she fell asleep again halfway through, missing many things. But she knew that her mother had picked her up.

Zhang Li was very uneasy when she returned home, she was not sure what the old man's reaction would be, but she touched the thirty taels of silver in her arms, and her confidence immediately returned.

That's thirty taels, whose girl is worth so much money?!

In order to explain to his family, Zhang Li personally made a table of good dishes for the first time. During the meal, everyone sat down at one time and ate happily, and no one noticed that Hui'er was not there, or they didn't care if they found out, so no one brought it up at all. Zhang Li ate silently, because no one asked Hui'er why she didn't come out to eat, but she didn't know how to speak.

A meal, the family had a great meal. After eating, Qiao's took the initiative to help clean up.

"Grandma, my sister hasn't eaten yet, do you want to leave food for her?" Youlu asked curiously. I didn't see Sister Hui'er during dinner today, but the adults didn't speak, so he didn't speak. But the meal is finished, and Sister Hui'er hasn't come back yet, do you want to remind the adults to leave her food?

Zhang Li didn't expect the first thing to be raised, Youlu, the child, and paused for a moment

"Yes, where is Hui'er's girl, I don't know how to come back for dinner! Zhengyuan stood up as he spoke.

"No need to look for it, Hui'er won't come back. Zhang Li said.

"Did you go to the child's mother to eat again? This child is too ignorant!" Zhengyuan said and planned to go out to find it.

"Don't go, Hui'er, I'll sell it!" Zhang Li finished speaking, threw away the rag in his hand and ran into the room. After a while, he came out and threw a small cloth bag on the table, and there was a clang.

Qiao Shi carefully untied it, and gasped, the broken silver added up to dozens of taels.

"Don't count, thirty taels! The rich family has taken a fancy to Hui'er and wants her to be a young lady!" Zhang Li said with a little pride when he saw that everyone's eyes were straight.

"Mother, why don't you discuss it with us first?" was looking at the bright silver from afar, and felt a little dazzling

"What are you discussing? It's just a girl, Qiuhua is the grandson of our Zhang family in her belly. Zhang Li was dissatisfied with Da Lang's attitude, but he felt that it was indeed a bit of a loss to sell his daughter without saying hello to Da Lang, so he added, "You don't know, your father's leg needs good medicine, and Erlang's illness also needs to be regulated, and there is really no silver at home, otherwise I wouldn't have sold my granddaughter." ”

"But you can't sell Hui'er, which family did you sell her to, I'll go and get her back now. Zhengyuan couldn't accept this argument, put the silver back into the cloth bag, and was about to go out.

"You're back!" Zhang Li hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Hui'er is a daughter of a rich family, that's her creation, what's so good about staying in our house? Now I think of having a daughter? I wanted to talk about it just now when I was eating, but which of you remembered that there was a child missing? Now you look at me like a wicked person, you touch your own conscience, who has taken care of that child on weekdays?" I'm not good, I beat and scold that child a lot on weekdays, but I know if she eats every day, where she goes, and what she does. Now I sold her for her good, and I didn't sell her to be a slave, have you ever seen anyone who paid thirty taels to buy a slave back!"

When Zhang Li said this, everyone in the courtyard turned red, and Zhengyuan was even more ashamed and couldn't raise his head.

Obviously agreed with Hui'er Niang to take good care of her daughter, but she didn't do it, if Hui Erniang knew about this, she might not be able to make trouble!

The old man has been smoking dry tobacco next to him, at first he felt very faceless, and wanted to scold Zhang Li's family, but after listening to Zhang Li's words, the old face was red: that day I heard Zhang Li's mention, he was not unmoved, but he was afraid that the people in the village would say, so he refused, and then the family's money was spent like flowing water, and he also had that idea again, who knew that he had not discussed it with Zhang Li's family, and Zhang Li's took it upon himself to do it.

But now that it's happened, we have to find a way to get it done.

"In the future, I will tell the people in the village that Hui'er will be put in your mother-in-law's house to raise. No one should say anything. After saying that, he knocked on his pipe, put out the fire, and motioned for Da Lang to help him into the house.

Zhang Li was stunned, she never worried about Da Lang, what she was most worried about was what the old man would say, who knew that the old man was on his side, which made her a little surprised.
