6. A family of five

"This lord," the woman didn't dare to raise her head for fear of her ugliness hitting him, but just lowered her head and said humbly, "Thank you for your great kindness." But...... But can you ......?" said the woman, a little unspeakable.

"What can you?" Tao Zhimo asked.

"Can you please lend us another tael of silver?" The woman raised her head to look at him, and then lowered her head in embarrassment, "We will give you an IOU, you will lend us four taels, and then we will pay you five taels, do you think?" The woman pleaded.

Tao Zhimo was puzzled, and after some inquiry, she learned that her man had committed something - beating a son-in-law. I heard that the subordinates were ruthless, and they all went for almost half their lives, but they were arrested and put in a prison cell, and before the sentence was handed down, I heard that the family of the boy and brother made money and wanted to kill him in prison. Fortunately, the cell boss and her are fellow villagers who are willing to help her, but they just said that it costs fifty taels of silver to settle the relationship!

After they borrowed money from their families, they only raised 42 taels, and the cell boss said that he would help them post 4 taels, but they had to figure out the remaining 4 taels by themselves. In desperation, she had no choice but to sell her daughter.

"Why did your man beat someone?" Tao Zhimo is displeased, as the head of the family, he is impulsive and irritable, and he has to affect the whole family, what is the use of saving such a person.

"Yes, it was the son of the family who bullied my son first." One by one, the women cameβ€”

It turned out that she had been ugly since childhood, and it was not until she was twenty-two years old that she married a widower ten years older than her, and the widower brought a son.

It's just that his son is disabled, and after he was born, he couldn't even tell whether the midwife was a man or a woman, so he could only be raised as a son, who knew that the more he grew up, the more he looked like a girl.

The villagers in the vicinity of his son knew about it, but they never mentioned it because of their faces, but they were all curious in private.

Somehow recruited a son-in-law, who ordered his pants to be ripped off in front of many people, and his son was so angry that he threw himself into the well on the spot, but fortunately he was rescued. When the man heard this, he hurried over, grabbed the boy and beat him violently, and almost killed him.

As a result, someone came to the yamen that afternoon, and her man went to the cell, and her son left a note that night and ran away from home.

Tao Zhimo was silent for a while, took out a tael of silver from Cai's arms, sighed and said, "I can only give you four taels of silver." "She has to live herself.

In fact, as a man, he naturally wants to protect his wife and children, Tao Zhimo feels that he has done nothing wrong, but he is brave and unscrupulous.

"Thank you." The woman knelt down again, and asked with tears in her eyes, "Where do you live?" We're going to leave after my man rescues us, otherwise I'm afraid that the boy won't let us go. Don't worry, we'll find a way to send it to you. ”

Tao Zhimo just wanted to wave his hand and say no, but after thinking about it again, he asked, "Then are you still staying in Yanzhou?" ”

The woman wiped her tears, "My mother's home is in Xuzhou, I want to go back to my mother's house, now my father and mother are long gone, but I still have a younger brother and little sister there." ”

"Where is Xuzhou?"

"Baoying County, Guangling County."

"Yo! What a coincidence, I'm going to go there too," Tao Zhimo felt that her face was really not red and her heart was not beating when she lied, "Shall I go with you?" ”

"Really! Of course! The woman's face was beaming.

"But I'm in a hurry, when can you leave?"

"I, our things have been sold, as long as I'm okay with my father-in-law, we can go." The woman was a little worried, fearing that he would be punished in prison.

"Then you can do it, there is a pear tree in the south of the city, and I will wait for you there."

After making an appointment with the woman, Tao Zhimo immediately led the horse out of the city gate, but in fact, she was still a little uneasy in her heart.

What if the woman betrayed her? But what can she sell? She didn't know who she was.

Even so, she was still a little anxious in her heart, and things were always going wrong, if the woman happened to attract someone from the prime minister's house...... Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

She was originally just a humble concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, her biological mother died early, and she had been living a life without food and clothing before she met Nangong Ci. Later, because of his favor, she lived a better life in the house than her daughter Tao brocade.

But since the accident at Nangong's house, her life in the house has plummeted, even worse than before. She lived the days of Cinderella again, not only starving every day, suffering from the cynicism of her subordinates, but also suffering from the bullying and insults of Tao Brocade from time to time. In the past six years, Nangong resigned her favor and loved her, and Tao Zhijin took revenge one by one. Even her mother didn't let her go, sneering and sneering from time to time, taking the opportunity to make trouble.

She was afraid, afraid that she would be imprisoned in the house for four years and tortured by them for four years like in the previous life. Now that she has no hope, how can she afford four years of lovesickness.

The red sun is sinking in the west, and the pottery weaving foam is standing under the pear tree, and people are already a little unable to hold it. After waiting for so long, she has already eaten three pears, and now her stomach is full of pear water.

She climbed up the tree, and picked five or six more pears into her bosom, although the pear tree has no owner, but the pears that bear fruit are juicy and sweet, and the flesh is crispy.

She was ready to leave, she couldn't wait, and it would be inconvenient as soon as it got dark.

She stepped on the horse and looked back again, and suddenly saw a man not far away with a cart on a wheel. There were a few people sitting on the cart, and they seemed to be waving at themselves.

Tao Zhimo smiled relievedly, they came.

The man was out of breath, came to Tao Zhimo and fell to his knees, "Thank you so much!" ”

All of a sudden, the family of four knelt down in front of her, Tao Zhimo was quite speechless, and finally made it clear that he didn't like to be kneeled by others very, very much, and the four of them helped each other up.

The woman claimed to be surnamed Li, and her man's name was Tian Xiongguang.

This Tian Xiongguang is about forty years old this year, with a dark complexion and a gray beard. Although her hair was almost gray, her body was very muscular, and she stood like a hill in front of her. He turned his back to the slanting sun, and Tao Zhimo's whole body shrouded in his shadow.

It was early autumn, and he was wearing only a coarse cloth tank top, and the strong arms that β–‘β–‘ seemed to be thicker than her thighs. Tao Zhimo thought about it, the rich boy was also fateful, so he was not killed.

I heard him say that he was a woodcutter in his early years, and later changed his career to become a carpenter, and his skills are not bad.

"Your ...... Did he find it? Tao Zhimo asked in a low voice.

"No......" Li Shi reddened, "I told Aunt Qian that I will take Xi'er and Aman to my mother's house, and if he comes back, he will come to us." ”

"Then, Aunt Li, I have a reluctant request."

"Reluctantly?" Li didn't understand, "What do you mean?" ”

"Forehead......" Tao Zhimo touched his nose, "Excuse me, how old is your son this year?" ”

"Fourteen."

"Oh," Tao Zhimo nodded, two years older than her, "then his household registration is there?" ”

"Yes, he didn't take anything with him when he left......"

"Then," Tao Zhimo asked cautiously, "can you make me your son?" ”

Seeing that they were surprised, Tao Zhimo sighed lightly and explained: "Don't hide it from the two of you, in fact, I am a woman. ”

Tian Xiongguang's eyes widened, but Li Shi was not as surprised as him, but nodded, this Engong did have some femininity.

Tao Zhimo breathed a sigh of relief, she had been speaking in a thick voice for the past few days, and her throat was almost uncomfortable to death, so she hurriedly cleared her throat and changed back to her own voice, "Actually, I am a concubine, and my mother died when I was very young." Later, my family was in ruins, and my father wanted to give me to a seventy-year-old man as the fourteenth concubine. I did not comply, so I fled from my house. ”

Tao Zhimo found out that he didn't need to make a draft when he lied, so he blurted out easily, "I lack an identity now, I don't know if I can borrow a household registration with the two of you?" "I have to go through many passes along the way, and I don't have a household registration, and if I encounter strict censorship, I am afraid that I will be arrested and imprisoned.

"Yes, you can! Eun Gong, what did you say! The woman answered immediately.

"Don't call me Engong, you can call me how you called him before."

"Eh, Daifuku!" The woman blurted out.

The corners of Tao Weavingmo's mouth twitched! Daifuku! Tian Daifu! Well, next she has a younger sister - Tian Shuangxi, and a super cute younger brother - Tian Manshou!
