The human trafficking has a long history, and there was this law when the Great Yuan Kingdom was founded, and the buyer did not need to go through the government on the basis of the contract, or resold or gifted, and the seller signed and deferred, and changed from good to slave, where both parents were slaves, the children and grandchildren were not enslaved.

Ordinary families like Gu Sanniang, even if their lives are difficult, they are much stronger than those who carry slaves on their backs, you must know that whenever they become slaves, the freedom of life and death is in the hands of the master's family, and if no one really can't live, they will definitely not sell their children into slavery.

On the same day, Gu Sanniang's father listened to her stepmother's pouting, and almost half sold and half gave her to marry Wang Yinsuo, at that time, the Wang family paid the bride price, but Gu Sanniang didn't even have a decent dowry, Gu Sanniang, who married to her husband's family empty-handed, was always looked down upon by the two concubines, and every time they had a quarrel, they often made fun of her being the daughter-in-law that the Wang family spent money to buy, in fact, Gu Sanniang was still a good person, just now Song's sister-in-law listened to Wang Jinsuo's shouting words, and she deliberately embarrassed Gu Sanniang.

There is a family not far from their embroidery village, the family is so poor that they can't afford the bride price, last year they spent money to buy a daughter-in-law from the mountains to come back, this cheap daughter-in-law not only the husband's family despises her, but the neighbors also avoid her, every day tired and tired work has not stopped, the family should be the next person who bought back, as long as the man is not satisfied in his heart, he is often beaten and scolded, Gu Sanniang occasionally saw the little daughter-in-law, and the injury on her face has never been better.

Gu Sanniang held the embroidery needle in her hand, her eyes were slightly downcast, and she pursed her thin lips and said to Sister-in-law Song: "I'm afraid that you won't believe me if I say that I am a good person, you care about me so much, it is better to ask Uncle Yongwang, what kind of nationality I am, he knows best." ”

Sister-in-law Song's face stiffened, since that time she was full of nonsense and arranged to send Guan Yongwang and Gu Sanniang to have a beginning and end, Guan Yongwang deliberately coldly treated her, and some large jobs in the embroidery village were no longer handed over to her, they were embroiderers, most of the monthly money was based on commissions, and Song's sister-in-law, who had no work to do, could only take some silk handkerchiefs and fan noodles, and the monthly money was less than the embroidery girl who had just entered the embroidery village, but Gu Sanniang, the craftsmanship became more and more exquisite, and there were guests who ordered her embroidery. Gu Sanniang's money is the most in the embroidery girl, and compared with the two sides, Sister-in-law Song naturally has zài anger in her heart.

When everyone saw that Song's sister-in-law was stirring up trouble again, they were afraid that they would harm the pond fish, so they all bowed their heads silently and worked. Sister-in-law Song saw Gu Sanniang working calmly, her eyes were burning with anger in her heart, and she scolded indignantly: "What are you?" A little widow without a man is like a dog without a master, anyone can come forward and kick a few feet. ”

Gu Sanniang's hand kept moving, and she replied without raising her head: "You have a man, but how did I hear that your status in your husband's family is not much better than a dog." ”

Sister-in-law Song was pinched to the point that her feet hurt, and the anger in her heart was aroused, she stood up and pointed at Gu Sanniang and said angrily: "Gu Sanniang, you little slut, you have the ability to say this again." ”

How many times did Gu Sanniang say that she was not afraid, this little hoof was not happy at home, so she wanted to pick a soft persimmon to pinch outside, but unfortunately she found the wrong person, and she had to do embroidery work than fighting and scolding. Which of these Song hooves doesn't lose to her? Gu Sanniang glanced at her, and when she saw her teeth and claws, she sneered directly, and simply stopped paying attention to her.

"How good am I at you, why are you dumb again?" Sister-in-law Song only thought that Gu Sanniang was afraid, so she looked at her with a sneering face.

Mo Xiaohong really couldn't stand it anymore, she opened her mouth and said: "Sister-in-law Song, I advise you to say a few words, if you attract Uncle Yongwang, you will have to be beaten by him again." ”

This sentence made Sister-in-law Song a little jealous, originally Guan Yongwang didn't want to see her, but now the family is all dependent on her to feed, if Guan Yongwang quit her, where will she find such a job, then Sister-in-law Song endured and endured, glared at Gu Sanniang a few points, and sat down with her chin raised as if she was victorious.

When it was time to get off work, the snow had begun to fall, Gu Sanniang forgot to bring an umbrella, so she borrowed a piece of linoleum cloth from the uncle at the porter, and ran home against the wind and rain, only when she arrived at the house, a thick layer of snow had fallen on the ground, she pushed the door in, and shouted first: "Yezi, my mother is back." ”

"Mother, I'm in Uncle Shen's house." Xiao Yezi's voice came from the east chamber, Gu Sanniang walked into the courtyard, and she said, "I've bothered your Uncle Shen for a day, don't come back soon!" ”

At this time, the door of the east chamber was opened, Shen Zhuo stood at the door, he looked at Gu Sanniang with his eyes, and saw a layer of snowflakes falling on her, so he said in a gentle voice: "On such a cold day, there is a cold kang and a cold stove in your house, let's go in and roast your body." ”

Xiao Yezi showed a small head from behind Shen Zhuo, she blinked her eyes and said, "Mother, come in, we are simmering sweet potatoes." ”

Gu Sanniang hesitated for a moment, then stomped the snow on her feet and walked into the east chamber.

As soon as I entered the inner room, the warm heat came to my face, and on the ground was a burning brazier, on which was placed an iron frame, on which were connected several bamboo tubes, which rose up to the window, and looked strange, and I don't know what it was.

"Why do you have to attach a bamboo tube?" Gu Sanniang asked puzzled.

Shen Zhuo gave her a stool, and replied with a smile: "I bought the most inferior charcoal, this smoke is too smoky, so I connected a few bamboo tubes to lead the smoke outside." ”

Gu Sanniang realized that she had been sitting for a long time, and she didn't smell the smell of smoke in the room, Gu Sanniang couldn't help laughing: "You have to study in strange ways, and sure enough, you readers will come up with ideas." ”

Shen Zhuo looked at her and said, "Where I think of it, in fact, this is the same as the chimney in the kitchen." ”

The two gossiped for a while, and Brother Yu stared at the charcoal basin with blank eyes, and he said, "Daddy, I'm afraid this sweet potato is going to be better, right?" ”

Shen Zhuo flipped it out with a fire tong, looked at it, and replied casually: "It's still early." ”

"I've been in it for a long time." Brother Yu muttered quietly.

Xiao Yezi comforted him: "Don't worry, when the meeting is cooked, let Brother Yu'er be the first to eat." ”

Brother Yu had momentum again, listening to the children's words of the two children, the depression in Gu Sanniang's chest seemed to dissipate a little, Shen Zhuo, who was sitting opposite, glanced at her, she had been gloomy since she came back, and finally had a smile at this time.

"These days, I'm just afraid that the work of the embroidery village is very busy, and I see you staying up until late at night every night, no matter how busy you are, you still have to take care of your body." Shen Zhuo said loudly.

Gu Sanniang's face suddenly turned red, Shen Zhuo saw her bowing her head and was silent, and immediately secretly regretted that it was too abrupt, the identities of the two were already a little inconvenient, when he asked like this, wouldn't it be to tell Gu Sanniang, he was secretly paying attention to her every day? If this Gu Sanniang cares too much, I'm afraid that he will still be uneasy and kind.

When the two were embarrassed, Brother Yu spoke again anxiously, and he said, "Daddy, aren't the sweet potatoes okay yet?" ”

The two children didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between Shen Zhuo and Gu Sanniang, but fortunately, there was a disturbance from Brother Yu'er, Shen Zhuo pretended not to care and picked up a sweet potato from the brazier, Brother Yu couldn't help but reach out to take it, but just after he was hit, he suddenly burst into tears, Shen Zhuo and Gu Sanniang were both frightened, at this time, no one could care about the previous little awkwardness, Gu Sanniang stood up, she stepped forward and asked, "Look, is it hot?" ”

Brother Yu only felt a hot pain in his fingers, and he said with tears in his eyes: "It's hot, but it hurts me to death." ”

Shen Zhuo was distressed and slightly annoyed, he pulled Yu Ge'er's fingers to take a look, only to see a few tender fingers scalding blisters, he glared at Yu Ge'er and said: "Where is the urgency at this time, look, after all, it is still hot." ”

Brother Yu looked at Shen Zhuo with tears in his eyes, Shen Zhuo was reluctant to scold him again, so he got up and went back to the house to find the ointment, Gu Sanniang on the side saw that Brother Yu was still sobbing and crying, she looked at it again and said: "Fortunately, it's not too hot, but don't cry anymore, if the tears drip on your fingers, it will only hurt more." ”

I don't know if Brother Yu was frightened by Gu Sanniang's words, he pursed his mouth, and the tears were finally put away.

After a while, Shen Zhuo found the wound medicine and applied it to Brother Yu'er, and he coaxed a few words in his mouth, and Brother Yu smiled again on his face. After sitting for most of the day, Gu Sanniang couldn't stay any longer, she called Xiao Yezi, and the mother and daughter said hello to Shen Zhuo, and they were going to go out.

Seeing this, Shen Zhuo shouted to Xiao Yezi, he wrapped two sweet potatoes and handed them to Xiao Yezi, and said, "I've been simmering for most of the day, take it back to pad my stomach." ”

Xiao Yezi turned her head to look at Gu Sanniang, Gu Sanniang nodded, and Xiao Yezi took it: "Thank you, Uncle Shen." ”

"Go ahead, slide your feet carefully." Shen Zhuo stood at the door and watched them enter the house with his own eyes, only then did he turn around and close the door.

At this time, the sky was already dark, Gu Sanniang went back to the house to light the oil lamp in the dark, she looked at the two sweet potatoes on the table, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Today, Wang Jinsuo went to Xiuzhuang to find me." ”

Xiao Yezi was burning the kang, she was taken aback, and looked at her mother in disbelief: "Mother, is this true?" ”

Gu Sanniang said to Xiao Yezi: "He wanted to borrow money from me, but I drove him away, but I'm afraid this matter is not over yet." ”

Xiao Yezi's face turned pale with fright, and she said, "Mother, how is this good?" ”

Thinking of Wang Jinsuo, Gu Sanniang couldn't help but be a little annoyed, she was not afraid of Wang Jinsuo, but her life with Xiao Yezi had just gone well, if she was stuck by Wang Jinsuo's dog skin plaster, it would not be enough for her to be disgusting.

"Phew, I'm dead, and he doesn't want to get another penny from me." Gu Sanniang said viciously.

Xiao Yezi stuffed a few sticks of firewood into the kang eye, tears filled her eyes, she and her mother had a hard enough time, why did the uncle's family refuse to let them go.
