Shadow slanted westward, usually at this time, the Lian family had almost already had dinner, but today, there were only people sitting on the kang of the landlord's house on the Lian family, and the kang table had not yet been set.

Lian Fang, the old man of the Lian family, is a tall and thin old man with a red face. He was dressed in a blue coarse cloth shirt and trousers, sitting cross-legged on the kang, smoking dry tobacco in his mouth.

Opposite the old man Lian, the fair-skinned middle-aged man sitting cross-legged under the kang with his back to the kang is Dalian Shouren of the Lian family. He was dressed in sunflower-colored cocoon silk and a square scarf, and his head was bowed and he was not thinking.

Not far from the two of them, there are a few sitting around. Sitting by the windowsill was the old lady Zhou. Zhou's hair is already a little thin, but it is not messy, and the charm of youth can be vaguely seen on his face. Sitting next to Zhou's is the old daughter of the old man Lian and the second chapter of Lian Lao who sells or does not sell his wife, called Lian Xiu'er, who is fourteen years old this year. Lian Xiu'er's face is slightly dark, and the old man seems to be carved out of the same mold. The little girl was wearing a brand new silver-red makeup gown, a big shiny braid was tied in a bun on the top of her head, and a small gilt crested hairpin was inserted on it, and a pink velvet flower was also inserted.

Lian Hua'er and Lian Xiu'er sat intimately next to each other. She wore a half-worn lotus lotus-colored makeup gown, her dark hair was tied up in a bun on the top of her head, and a few strands of green silk hung from behind her ears. Her skin is snow-white, and next to Lian Xiu'er, she looks even more apricot-eyed and peachy, beautiful and moving.

Lian Duo'er, who is also wearing a brand-new makeup gown, is pouting and half-leaning on her mother's arms. Gu sat on the edge of the kang, and the stone blue satin jacket skirt was also half-new.

Because even the old man didn't, everyone didn't dare to say anything, only Lian Xiu'er and Lian Hua'er's aunt and nephew were next to each other, chattering and laughing quietly.

Lian Man'er came in from outside and saw Lian Hua'er at a glance. Lian Hua'er raised her head and saw Lian Man'er, the smile on her face suddenly froze, and the conversation with Lian Xiu'er came to an abrupt end.

Zhang helped Lian Shouxin put Lian Man'er on his back on the kang.

Lian Man'er sat there, quietly looking at the people in the room quietly whether to sell or not to sell. Even the old man should be fifty-seven years old this year, and his body doesn't look tough. Even the old lady must have been a beauty when she was young, and even the appearance of the eldest and fourth child of the family followed her, but unfortunately Lian Xiu'er was not like her. Lian Xiu'er is fourteen years old this year, the same age as Lian Zhi'er. Hey, Lian Zhi'er is too thin, Lian Xiu'er can be considered to be developing normally.

The white face and thin lips are the Gu clan of the Lian family, as well as Lian Hua'er and Lian Duo'er, all wearing satin. Hey, Lian Man'er sighed secretly.

“…… This child would rather die than eat, for fear that we will sell him again. Lian Shouxin and Zhang stood under the kang, "Dad, please say something." ”

Even the old man glanced at it and knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand.

"Shouren, tell me, what's going on?"

Even Shouren hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Gu Shi had already opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

"Dad, don't you know about this? Whether it sells or not, it's what their children talk about and play, and it's not like that at all. Man'er, this girl, but the niece of the uncle's relatives, even if the fourth and fourth children want to sell her, with her uncle and me, they can't sell the child, right? ”

As Gu spoke, he leaned over to touch Lian Man'er's head.

Lian Man'er tilted her head and moved to Zhang's side, dodging Gu's hand.

Old Man Lian raised his eyelids and glanced at Old Lady Lian Zhou. He let the eldest speak, but the eldest hurried to answer. It's very unruly. However, he is a father-in-law, and he pays attention to his identity, so it is not good to reprimand him directly. And Zhou, the mother-in-law who was originally very strict and should have been reprimanded, was unexpectedly silent.

"Shouren, I'll let you go." Even the old man knocked the cigarette pouch again and said in a deep voice.

Gu's face was a little sneering, but he still laughed.

"Dad, I didn't tell you." Only then did Lian Shouren speak, "I went to Fucheng that day and happened to meet a friend in the same case, named Yang Chengfeng. When he heard that our family was short of silver, he immediately brought out five hundred taels of silver and invited me to dinner. …… His brother-in-law's surname is Sun, and he is a very famous squire in Qingfeng County. The Sun family's young family has not yet decided to marry, and it is the same age as our family. This marriage is still a high climb. ”

"Uncle, what do you mean by a child daughter-in-law?" Lian Man'er listened to Lian Shouren's nonsense, avoiding the important and trivial, so she asked.

"Child daughter-in-law ......" Lian Shouren and Gu Shi quickly exchanged glances.

Gu raised his hand and gave Lian Duo'er a slap. It's just that the hand is raised high, but when it falls, it is gentle.

"Duo'er, this girl, is neither light nor heavy, which makes her sister Man'er angry, and wants to beat her, so as not to knock on the edge of the well. Thanks to our father's and mother's great fortune, the blessed vine is alive. Otherwise, this will not be a dead laugh when it gets out. Gu's thin lips opened and closed, which was extremely sharp.

Even the family's life fell into the aunt's laughter. Even the lives of his family are so cheap. Lian Man'er said coldly.

"Oh, that's not what I meant. You little child's home, so many hearts. "Gu Shi realized the gaffe and hurriedly made up for it." For your sake, your uncle and I feel very uncomfortable, and your eyes are red when you see your sister Hua'er crying. And your sister-in-law, if you have a bad one, I will kill her and pay for your life. ”

"Child daughter-in-law......" Lian Man'er gritted her teeth.

Lian Hua'er lowered her eyes and secretly handed a look to Lian Xiu'er. Lian Xiu'er met and coquettishly pushed Lian's old lady Zhou.

"Although Man'er is not very old, he is not small. The Sun family said that they wanted to get married immediately, but they didn't. People who are so rich can still lack her food and drink, and they are better than at home. The girl will marry out sooner or later, if she doesn't marry the Sun family, she will marry a farmer in the future. Then you will be happy? The Sun family has a big business, is there anyone looking for it, if it weren't for your eldest brother, would Man'er be able to marry such a good family? Qingfeng County is less than a thousand miles away from the village, and it is not that we will not be able to meet in the future. ”

"Mother, why do you say that." Zhang looked at Lian Xiu'er leaning on Zhou's body, his heart ached, he covered his mouth, and his tears crackled again.

"Fourth, why are you crying? Man'er is not sensible, you are not sensible as a mother? Since it's good, let's marry it as promised. Zhou said again.

"The Sun family is a mountain of gold and silver, and the Sun is young, and he also loves to study. This is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing, and after this village, there will be no such shop. Gu said with a smile.

"Why don't you go to such a good thing?" Lian Man'er retorted.

"Lian Man'er, you dare to curse me" Lian Duo'er raised her eyebrows and threw her teeth and claws at Lian Man'er.

Zhang used his body to block Pu Lian Duo'er.

"Letting Duo'er go to Sun's house is a curse for Duo'er? Is there something else going on here, you're going to sell me to do it? Lian Man'er asked loudly.

Lian Hua'er was the first to change her face, glared at Lian Duo'er fiercely, but looked at Lian Man'er's eyes with fear and hatred.

Gu grabbed Lian Duoer back and slapped Lian Duoer twice on the back. This slap was real, and Lian Duoer cried as soon as she wowed.

"Let Lian Man'er go, I won't go......" Lian Duo'er cried.

Gu Shi hurriedly covered Lian Duo'er's mouth.

"Man'er, what are you talking nonsense, what's going on here?" Lian Hua'er stared at Lian Man'er and asked.

Poor Lian Man'er, her last memories are chaotic and only fragmentary. She only remembered that Lian Duoer said that she would sell her to be a child daughter-in-law, and Lian Duoer said something else, but she didn't remember, or didn't hear it at all, because at that time she had fallen on the edge of the well and lost consciousness.

Going to Sun's house is by no means as simple as being a child daughter-in-law, there are other things in it. Even, the Sun family was made up by the boss of the Lian family and the Gu family. Send her away from afar, who is going to send her to do it? Five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and spending such a large price must have a "big" use. And she can have a "big" use for a little girl? Lian Man'er suddenly felt cold.

Even Man'er looked back at Lian Hua'er without blinking. She couldn't remember, but she couldn't let Lian Hua'er.

Lian Hua'er saw that Lian Man'er was not, but she looked at her viciously, and her eyes flickered a little.

"Big brother, apart from being a child daughter-in-law, what else is going on?" Even Shou Xin is not stupid, and he heard the strangeness of the matter.

"What can you do, fourth, don't listen to the children's nonsense." Lian Shouren said busily.

The old man stared at Lian Shouren twice, and Lian Shouren slowly lowered his head.

"Boss, you are reckless in this matter, you go and tell you, this matter ends here." Even the old man said.

Even Shouxin and Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

However, there are others who are in a hurry.

Lianhua'er pinched the handkerchief and looked at the Gu family nervously, and the two of them looked at Lian Shouren together.

"Dad, I've already made a decision to promise people about this. The fourth child also nodded. We can't just keep our word. "Lian Shouren said.

Even the old man smoked a dry cigarette again, obviously having made up his mind.

"Then, who will pay for the five hundred taels of dowry money?"

"Father, mother, you took the money to sell me?" Lian Man'er asked deliberately.

She is now forcibly suppressing her anger, so full of loopholes, and it is unreliable when she hears it, even Shouxin and Zhang's are unexpected? The girl was sold, and they are still helping to count the money. No, it's worse than that, they can't even count the money, so they can only sit on the wood next to them.

"Man'er is the meat that fell from my body, I don't eat or drink, I save a bite to eat for her, and I don't sell my daughter." Zhang suddenly straightened his waist and said.

"Big brother, Yang Chengfeng lent you five hundred taels, and you took it to buy a jade pendant. When the dowry money came out again? "Even keep the word.

Lian Man'er secretly clenched her fists, this couple is not stupid and incorrigible.

"Boss, you give the money back," even the old man said.

"Master, you're not selling me?" Lian Man'er's eyes lit up, and she crawled to Old Man Lian's side with her hands and feet, and looked at Old Man Lian with big eyes flickering. This is also your own granddaughter, please, wake up quickly.

Old Man Lian seemed very uncomfortable with Lian Man'er's sudden approach, but he still nodded.

"It's really not for sale?"

"Don't sell it, our family doesn't sell girls." Even what the old man said categorically, "Go back to your mother and sit down." Even the old man turned his head and smoked again.

Lian Man'er's heart was finally placed in her stomach.

Lian Hua'er suddenly leaned on Lian Xiu'er and whimpered and cried.
