The Dong family only lives not far from each other, just through two or three alleys. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But Wei Zi had never been to this place, and he could only find it by following Erya's footsteps.

From the outside, the Dong family was very tattered, with mud and straw-pasted walls, and a wooden door with exposed holes that could faintly see the firelight inside.

Erya was a little surprised when she saw this, and muttered to herself.

Although her voice was very small, Wei Zi could still hear it clearly.

What she said was, "Why did you light the oil lamp at home today?" ”

A woman appeared at the door of the inner room, and quickly rushed to the door, crying and scolding.

"Where the hell did you stinky girl? Your sister and I can't find you everywhere, even Xiaomi knows that you can't run around, aren't you even as good as a five-year-old child? ”

Behind her came a delicate-looking girl and a five-year-old boy. When they saw Erya, they couldn't help but run over.

It's just that when he saw that there was still Wei Zi, an outsider, he didn't dare to really come forward, and looked at Erya with blank eyes.

"Mother..."The second girl looked at Dong Chen at a loss, and broke free from her arms unnaturally, "Don't you see, is there anyone else next to me?" ”

Dong Chen glared at her, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Wei Zi in confusion, "Who is this son?" ”

"Mrs. Dong, today your daughter wants to go to my house and sell herself." Wei Zi didn't hide his voice, and looked at Dong Chen with a slight smile, "I really want to buy her, so I'll bring her back to discuss it with you." ”

Dong Chen's chest rose and fell non-stop, and he glared at the dejected Er Ya fiercely, before he barely squeezed out a smile, looked at Wei Zi, and said politely.

"This girl should go back, no matter how hard our family is, we can't sell the child! Erya, this girl is ignorant and has caused you trouble, don't blame her. It's getting late now, and it's not safe for you to go out alone with a girl, so it's better to go back as soon as possible. ”

"Wait, Mrs. Dong." Wei Zi shook his head and stopped Dong Chen's movements, "My mother is Wei Dahua, the tooth woman over there, you should have heard of it." Since this girl has made up her mind to sell herself, you will definitely not be able to look at her. ”

"Then I'll break her leg and see if she dares to do such a ridiculous thing."

Dong Chen interrupted Wei Zi's words without hesitation, glared at Erya fiercely, and wanted to close the door.

"Are you really willing to break Erya's leg?"

Wei Zi didn't rush to stop her, and said to herself.

"Erya found my mother this time, and I was able to send her back. What if she found something else? Are you still able to see your daughter? ”

Although Dong Chen's face was still fierce, his action of closing the door had slowed down.

"Will I sell her to you, and I will be able to see my daughter again? If you're the same person, why do you have to tell me so much! ”

"I'm different, of course."

The corners of Wei Zi's breasted mouth rose slightly, and her calm appearance also made Dong Chen believe a little.

Dong Chen hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, and glared at Erya, "You tell your mother, do you want to sell yourself, and want to leave your mother, your sister and your brother ruthlessly!" ”

The second girl stared at Dong Chen stubbornly, and her eyes didn't dodge at all, "This sister is right, even if you lock me up at home, as long as I have a chance to go out, I still have to sell myself." ”

Dong Chen was furious, raised his hand high, and slapped Erya.

"What a sin I am, giving birth to such a thing as you who don't remember your home! Let's go! Don't come back if you're gone! ”

Erya covered her face, but she didn't move at all.

There was no resentment in her eyes, only an indescribable loneliness and a look of still perseverance.

"Mother, it's not that I don't want this home. It's just that I don't want Xiaomi to suffer like this with us, I still want him to study and let him take the imperial examination. But how is this possible under the present conditions? Erya has no ability, but Erya thinks that selling Erya is nothing, as long as Xiaomi has a profit! ”

Dong Chen's words instantly seemed to lose his strength, covering his face with his hands and whimpering. Tears streamed down her chin and smashed into the dirt to make a small nest.

The eldest girl also bit her lip and looked at her sister with a resolute face, "No, if you want to sell it, you can't sell it." Sell me! I'm an older sister and I should take responsibility. ”

"You have to get married in less than two years, and no one wants to buy you." Erya shook her head and glanced at her, "You are already weak, you must be me." ”

"Second sister, I don't want to study anymore, don't sell yourself, okay?" Xiaomi pulled Erya's wide clothes, tears fell in big drops, and the crying snot and tears were muddy.

Although he is very young, the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and of course he can understand why his mother and sister are crying.

Wei Zi looked at the family with a sad face, couldn't help coughing twice, and helplessly looked at Dong Chen, who was crying on the door.

"Don't cry so sadly, I will take her away, and let her come back in six or seven years at most, and it won't affect her marriage at all. What's more, you can go and see her! ”

Dong Chen looked at Wei Zi with teary eyes, and said in disbelief, "Don't make fun of us!" Who bought someone to wait for her to get married and put it back? Isn't it just that everyone else has been in this life! ”

"So, you have to let me in now, and listen to me tell you about my arrangements for Erya."

Wei Zi shrugged helplessly, which showed that the rumors could not be believed. Who would have thought that Dong Chen, who has always been rumored to be stronger than men, would be a crying bag who cried twice after just meeting for a while?

Dong Chen wiped his tears with his hands, sobbed twice hurriedly, and then opened the door with great respect.

"If that's what you say, then you're a great benefactor to our family. I happened to have lit an oil lamp today, so I can listen to you carefully, so why don't I come to the hall? ”

By the way, he also snorted coldly at the three sisters and brothers, "Big girl, Xiaomi, hurry up and bring the second girl to the house." I'll talk to this girl first, and then I'll clean her up! ”

Dong Chen also has his own considerations.

She has done her best to give the best to her children, but they still don't have enough food and clothing, and even Xiaomi can't study at all in the future.

Wei Dahua has heard countless times, and that Ya Po is the most soft-hearted, and she is reluctant to harm the little girl into the fire pit. Because of this, she is an outlier among Yapo, and her reputation is even better than that of ordinary people.

Wei Dahua's daughter, she is also willing to believe it. After all, if she does evil, I'm afraid her mother won't agree. What's more, Wei Zisheng has a good appearance, such a beautiful girl, can she still calculate her own second girl?

Wei Zi was also scanning the environment in the hall, only to see that the surroundings were empty, a crooked wooden table and two long benches, and on the wooden table was an oil lamp that was about to burn out.

"The lamp is running out of gas, and we usually go to bed early, so we don't need it at all. Luckily, the remaining oil was able to burn for another night. ”

Dong Chen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw Wei Zi staring at the oil lamp. She hurriedly wiped the bench with her sleeve and said to Wei Zi.

"Sit down, I've just wiped it off, it's clean."

"You really don't have to be so polite, I'm almost the same age as the eldest girl in your family, and you can be regarded as my elder. Isn't being so polite to me tormenting me! ”

Wei Zi hurriedly pulled her to sit down next to her, with a slight smile, "I won't tell you, Erya, this girl, I really like it, but it may not be the same as you think." ”

Dong Chen wanted to speak and stopped, his hand unconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes, and dragged it vigorously.

"Let me tell you about it first." Wei Ziqing coughed twice and looked at Dong Chen with a smile.

"I plan to open a maid academy to train students to learn or even learn the necessary skills of maids, and then send them to various large families to become maids."

"I have to train here for half a year, and it takes five years to sign a contract with a big family. At the end of five years, the contract will automatically expire, and she should come back, and if she doesn't want to come back, she has to renew the contract with the master. But if the host holds on to someone, that's what we'll solve. Leave the second girl to us, you just have to rest assured. ”

Dong Chen looked at Wei Zi as if he didn't understand, but he still didn't quite understand what she meant.

"Aren't you worried that I'm going to push her into the fire pit and not give it back to you? Now I will tell you this, I will never break my word. Erya, when I take it away, I will send it back to you in six years. And, we'll send someone to tell you where she is. ”

"Then if you miss her, you can go to her and meet her. I don't think there's a single family that doesn't let you see someone. ”

Dong Chen suddenly realized, and then glanced at Wei Zi and sighed.

"I can tell you have good intentions, but since you are doing a good thing, it costs money to teach students, right? But even if our family smashes the pot and sells iron, there is nothing left. ”

Wei Zi smiled bitterly and shook her head, the wooden table swaying a little as her fingers kept tapping.

"Money is definitely going to be spent, but you don't have to spend it. Naturally, whoever wants to use these maids will have to give me this signing fee. Until the end of my studies, I will give her a monthly stipend so that she can not worry about you. ”

"I'll leave you a note for all these things. If I can't do that, you can just go to the government and sue me. I will do what I say and not say big things. ”

"No need, since you think about Erya like this, we don't want to be so careful."

Dong Chen shook his head at first, and then looked at Wei Zi expectantly and nervously.

"Can I..."
