Chapter 19: The Girl Selling Turmoil
Chen Yu has a lot more free time now, and the family can't go out to play because of Chen Yu, so Chen Yu often goes out to play, and he is also very happy with his sisters and cousins.
"Mother, when can my brother come out to play with me." Chen Yu touched his mother's stomach and asked.
"Xiaoyu wants to be a good sister, do you know, in a few months, my younger brother can be born, Xiaoyu will take good care of my younger brother in the future." Chen Yu's mother said.
"Osmanthus girl, are you there?" Outside, Aunt Liu asked.
"It's Sister Liu, what's the matter?" Chen Yu's mother went out and asked.
"Osmanthus girl, you still don't know? Ouch Cheng Yuan outside the home to buy a maid, Cheng Yuan is generous, and when the maid has a monthly profit every month, it is cost-effective, your eldest girl is not seven years old, sent to Cheng Yuanwai's home as a maid, but you can get a lot of silver, the big girl is beautiful, maybe the big girl will be able to be the master in the future, your family will not be developed. You must know that Cheng Yuanwai's family is not just a landlord, but they also have an official in their family. Well, I'll come to sue you as soon as I know the news, but if you want to go, you have to be fast, otherwise it's a pity that the quota is full. Aunt Liu said.
Listening to the words of the woman named Aunt Liu, Chen Yu was furious in his heart, this is to pry his mother to sell his sister, he is simply not human. Their family's affairs, how can it be an outsider's turn to intervene, and their family is not unable to open the pot, and it is not their turn to sell their daughter, their mother will definitely scold the other party away, Chen Yu also looked at the broom on the side, and when the time comes, he will fight this bad woman away with his mother.
But Chen Yu's mother did not immediately refuse, but said: "I will discuss it with the child's father, and I will give you an answer when the time comes." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for your news, but be quick, or this opportunity will be missed." Aunt Liu left happily.
Chen Yu couldn't believe his ears on the side, did his mother mean to sell his sister? Thinking of these days, my sister's care for Chen Yu, Chen Yu doesn't want her sister to be sold like this and go to someone else's house to be a slave, how can there be a good family, even if the family is poor, but it is better than having no dignity and no freedom.
"Mother, that one just now was a bad woman, uneasy and kind, selling my sister, and being a bad guy." Chen Yu said with some excitement.
"Xiaoyu, why are you so rude, fortunately, Aunt Liu is not here. You are still young, you don't understand a lot of things, it is a good thing to be a maid in a big family, not only can you get a rich amount of silver taels at the beginning, but also have monthly profits every month, serve the master well, and there can be rewards. When you reach the age, you can also let the master point to a good family affair and get a good dowry, although you may be a little older, but the maid in a big family is no worse than the average lady, but many people ask to marry. And in a big family, eat well and dress well, how many people want to go and have no chance, this time Aunt Liu came to ventilate and report, Xiaoyu can't offend people. Chen Yu's mother said.
After listening to his mother's words, Chen Yu's whole person was about to be petrified, it was actually like this, was it really the sorrow of a poor family, and even selling himself into slavery was a good thing? It's a pity that Chen Yu still can't accept it, he has his own family, and he will soon be rich, although he is still young, but he has worked hard to improve the conditions at home, and in a few years, the family will be rich, why put the good life of the family but to be a maid.
Chen Yu must stop this matter, and it is best to let his mother dispel this idea. And if the mother has always had this idea, then this time it is the eldest sister, will it be her turn in the future? Chen Yu didn't dare to imagine that if he was sold by his parents, he would run away.
Of course, one thing is certain, Chen Yu is not a foolish person, if his parents are really wrong, Chen Yu will not be accommodating.
"Eldest sister, did you hear the conversation between your mother and Aunt Liu just now? Mother actually wants to sell you, what do you think, eldest sister? Don't you think it's a good thing to be a maid in a big family? The maid's life is not valuable, the master's family punishes it, it is possible to kill it, suffer hardships and suffer crimes, fear and fear, eldest sister, do you want to go? Chen Yu said.
"Of course I don't want to go, but can I not go if I don't want to? It's not up to our parents to decide what happens to us. The eldest sister said a little depressed.
"I think my father and mother still care about us, as long as you say you don't want to, then my father and mother will not sell you regardless of your wishes." Chen Yu said.
"Thank you, little sister, I know how to do it." Chen Daniu said.
"Big sister, I will always support you." Chen Yu said.
Chen Daniu listened to Chen Yu's words and told her mother that she didn't want to be a maid, her mother was a little unhappy, but she didn't force Chen Daniu, this matter seems to have passed like this, but has it really passed? Did Chen Yu's mother really dispel this idea? Obviously not, Chen Yu's mother didn't understand why her daughter was reluctant to go to such a good thing.
If it was her, she would have gone happily a long time ago, not to mention the ease of working in a big family, and the money to take, eat and drink without worry, there is nothing better than this, it is better than digging in the field, but it is a pity that her own hard work, her daughter can't understand, as if she wants to harm her, how can she harm her, they are their own children, although they don't mean because of silver, but the most important thing is for the good of their daughter.
Of course, this is the problem of the generation gap, obviously Chen Yu's values are very different from the values of ordinary women in this poor mountain village, and Chen Daniu, who was influenced by Chen Yu, naturally has different ideas.
Of course, the reason why Chen Yu is so reluctant is because he has been influenced by many novels, and being a maid in a big family is a very sad life, and he can't save his life. But the maid here is still different, even if the maid sells herself, she can't be killed at will, she can only be resold, otherwise it is a crime, Chen Yu doesn't know the laws of this world, so she is naturally very resistant.
After the turmoil of selling women passed, after a period of peace, the mother's belly was getting bigger and bigger, of course, there is no such thing as being pregnant and not doing things, what do you usually do, what do you still do now, it's just that some heavy body work is not done.
Chen Yu sometimes touches his mother's belly, and he can feel the baby in his belly moving, he is really a healthy and lively child, and his mother is also very healthy, because of this period of nourishment, the family has grown some meat, and they are more energetic to work, after all, they will be powerful when they are full.
