Chapter 42 Buying People Home
Tian Miao's words made Liu Zhaodi feel hopeless, and she didn't know how to get through this difficulty at all.
"I have a way, but I don't know if you want to?" Tian Miao saw her despair, so she didn't deal with her, and spoke directly.
"Yes, as long as you say it, I will listen to it." Liu Zhaodi listened to her words, and the flame of hope was ignited all of a sudden.
"You don't listen to it, just say you're willing, aren't you afraid that I'll sell you?" When Tian Miao saw her appearance, she felt warm in her heart, it felt so good to be trusted so unconditionally.
"Don't be afraid, you won't hurt me." Liu Zhaodi said very firmly.
Tian Miao said her thoughts, and after Liu Zhaodi heard it, her head nodded like a chicken pecking rice. Seeing her like this, Tian Miao took her directly to the village chief, and it was not easy for anyone to come forward except for the village chief.
Widow Wang, who was boiling medicine for her son in the courtyard, was surprised to see the village chief come to her house. Since the third son of her husband, Liu Sanzi, passed away six years ago, it was the first time that her family had come to a man.
"Don't be busy, we're looking for you." The village head, Zhou Wangjia, walked into her yard and stopped going inside.
When Wang saw Tian Miao and his daughter, as well as some people watching the excitement at the door, he took the medicine jar off the fire and asked the village chief to sit under the big tree in the courtyard.
There are trees in the yards of every house in Hetian Village, most of them are some elms, sycamores or something. After the village chief sat down, he was not polite, and went straight to the point to explain his intentions.
"Today, Tian Miao and your family Zhaodi came to me and asked me to give a witness, I see that the matter is important, so I came to ask you in person." The words of the village chief made the widow and the second monk of the king puzzled.
"Aunt Liu, here's the thing, I came up with fifteen taels to buy Sister Zhaodi. It's better to do housework in my house than to marry far away, and if there is something going on at home, it's close to you. Tian Miao didn't say it so smoothly, you must know that she is still very unaccustomed, this is human trafficking? It was a crime in her time.
"What? She's engaged. Wang listened to Tian Miao's words and was taken aback.
"If her marriage contract is good, I won't mention it, Aunt Wang, we are all villagers in the township. She came to my house to help my mother do some housework, and she still had a salary every month, and if she saved enough money, I would give her back her freedom at any time. When she is eighteen years old, our family will find her a good in-law to ensure that she will not lose her. The more Tian Miao spoke, the softer her tone became, and it was almost a request when she got to the back.
"The Liu family, I also think Tian Miao is reliable, otherwise he wouldn't care about this nossy matter, then it's not a good place to go outside the mountain." The village chief didn't say much, what kind of relatives the Wang family set for his daughter, everyone knew it.
"Wang, what else do you want? This is a great thing, if I don't fight, I will agree immediately. A woman in the village, seeing Wang's hesitation, was so anxious that she shouted.
Everyone felt very sorry for this hard-working woman, Xianggong's health was not good back then, so he left early. also threw these two children away, the youngest son is still a sick seedling, and he has to take medicine at both ends in three days.
"But Mrs. Wang's side ...... "The Wang family is afraid of offending Mrs. Wang."
"You are confused, is the princess important, or the daughter-in-law? Her demon woman, it's nothing to offend. It's all about doing something that damages yin morality, you look at the matchmaker she protects, which one is good? Grandma Zhou in the village couldn't help it.
That Mrs. Wang specializes in protecting some, abnormal matchmakers, and she thinks that Tian Lianhua's matchmaker is also the thread she pulls.
"Aunt Liu, Zhao Di is working at my house, if she wants to sleep at home, I have no opinion. Give her 200 Wen every month, and then see the situation in the future to give her a rise, I will not break my promise in front of the village chief and all the villagers. Tian Miao's words immediately aroused everyone's discussion.
"Cheng, I agreed, and I will send a letter to Mrs. Wang in a while, and withdraw the marriage on that end." Wang was moved to tears.
In fact, her heart is not comfortable, the princess, at first, she didn't say anything, and when she spent all the money. She just said that she was going to marry her brother and son in the past, if she really couldn't make up the money, she wouldn't let her daughter suffer this grievance.
Things went very smoothly, and in order to seal everyone's mouths, Tian Miao deliberately went to Bai Yiran to borrow fifteen taels of silver.
In fact, she just went to Bai Yiran's study, talked to him for a few words, and then came out with the silver and ran all the way to Wang's house.
After the village chief wrote the paperwork and the two sides drew the charge, Tian Miao handed over the silver to the Wang family, told Zhao Di to go to her house tomorrow, and then went out of her house with the village chief.
"It's Tian Miao that you went to ask for, right?" When everyone left, Wang asked about his daughter.
Liu Zhaodi saw that her mother's face was not very good, so she told the matter from beginning to end, and after listening to it, Wang sighed and said.
"Forget it, this is also your luck, we are poor and poor, but we can't be that ungrateful person, today Tian Miao helped us, we have to remember her well." The Wang family is one of the best in the village, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people just now, and they persuaded her bitterly.
"Mother, don't worry, I will never forget it in my life. She said let me go home and live, I don't want to be like that, from tomorrow, I will be her subordinate. Mother, if there is nothing major at home, I won't come back. Liu Zhaodi said, tears flowing.
There is the reluctance to leave home, the joy of escaping, and more of the guilt of not being able to be by my mother's side and doing my filial piety.
"That's a must, we can't forget our duty, you boil the medicine for your brother at home, and I'll go to the princess to return the money." Wang said, took ten taels of silver and went out.
Tian Miao didn't go home, but pulled Tian Shuang, who had not spoken, and came to Bai Yiran's house together.
"Done?" Bai Yiran was a little interesting, she came more often today.
"It's done, I'll be quiet when I go to your place." Tian Miao wanted to go home, but as soon as she thought of Fu, she crossed over directly from the door.
"Haha, aren't you very righteous? What are you afraid of now? Bai Yiran put down the book in his hand with a smile, and handed a plate of snacks on the table to Tian Shuang, but unfortunately the little guy ignored him completely.
"She won't, except for Duo'er and my mother, she won't eat what others give her." Tian Miao explained to him.
"You don't eat what you give?" Bai Yiran was puzzled.
"Huh? I haven't tried it, I'll try it, come on, Shuang'er, this snack is delicious, you can have a taste. Tian Miao www.biquge.info took the pen and put it in Tian Shuang's hands.
I used to think in my heart that I wouldn't eat it for her, so I gave it to the Li family or Duo'er. I really didn't try it myself, but Tian Shuang didn't throw away the dim sum, but looked at it seriously as if he was looking at a work of art.
