Chapter 90: Selling Women

Erlang's letter made Dong Xiaoman insomnia, and he didn't want to miss him because he had worked hard for so long. In fact, I suddenly felt that I was very unfamiliar with him, and I didn't understand what I meant by all the effort I had put my mind to.

After thinking about it for a long time, I realized that it was because I had married him a long time ago, and only if he cared about himself could he live well. I fell asleep in such a daze, and in my dream I saw Erlang returning home in a military uniform, but it seemed to be gone again, and he left with the child, and he couldn't find it by himself.

Early the next morning, Dong Xiaoman asked Xiaohu to ask people to see what the situation was in the northwest. Where can the local people know the details of the road, and it is just a family letter that has been passed down by word of mouth.

Because of Erlang's letter, Dong Xiaoman almost panicked, looking forward to this man coming back every day. The news came that the northwest had won a great victory, and it was necessary to take advantage of the victory to pursue and regain the occupied land in one fell swoop.

Dong Xiaoman doesn't mind those who don't have a war, he just looks forward to a family of four reuniting as soon as possible. Now I hear that it will take a year and a half, and this heart is like a pot of coals being poured with a basin of cold water, pouring it out to the top.

Da Lang took the Liu family to persuade Dong Xiaoman to go home, and the Li family was worried that Da Lang would lose money if he bought any jewelry for the Liu family behind his back, and if he bought a baked cake. Tough to follow along, and said that one is to recognize the door, and Zhu'er, who is thinking about it, can't sleep.

What is her attitude towards her daughter, Da Lang clearly understands in his heart. nagged for a long time and told her not to show Dong Xiaoman's face, not to say some inconsequential words or anything like that.

Li saw that Dong Xiaoman was doing well, and his daughter was bright and white, and he secretly said in his heart that Dong Xiaoman really had some food and silver. Looking at what her daughter is wearing, the rouge on her face is stronger than that of the family, as if she has taken advantage of it.

Hearing that Dong Xiaoman actually bought a maid, the Li family and the Liu family didn't feel good in their hearts. Liu was aggrieved in his heart, thinking that he had not found a person like Erlang for his life, and he would definitely be more favored than Dong Xiaoman by his own means. Li's is full of sourness, but he didn't expect Dong Xiaoman to be a grandmother.

Seeing that although my daughter is doing well, her manners and conversation are hundreds of times stronger than when she was at home. But it was in the same room as a maid. Li was suddenly unhappy, and muttered that Dong Xiaoman would not treat his daughter harshly, and would call his niece as a person.

Zhu'er is actually very resentful of the Li family in her heart, but the Li family has been obscene for too long. has no courage and can only swallow his anger, and he is afraid that others will say that he is not filial and pretends not to mind.

Recently, she has lived with Dong Xiaoman, learned some truths and saw Dong Xiaoman's attitude towards Huanhuan and Jue'er, and she is very attentive to herself, her mood has also changed a lot. "Mother, didn't you ask me to work for my second aunt. As long as the second aunt gives me food, isn't there no food for me at home? How can we say this again, it doesn't make people think that we have no conscience. 'Pearl's first confrontation with Lee. Li was frightened and angry, and stretched out his hand to hit the beads.

Zhu'er hurriedly ran behind Dong Xiaoman and hid, and said aggrievedly: "If you haven't seen me these days, you will beat me if you see me." I wasn't born to you, if you didn't like it, you shouldn't have given birth to me, and if you did, you should have strangled me. ”

These words are full of resentment, where has Li ever heard such a complaint. She thought that Dong Xiaoman was sowing discord, and she was so angry that she scolded Dong Xiaoman for being a prostitute with a black heart and other unpopular words.

Da Lang was afraid that Erlang would know about the dirty things his family had done, and when he saw his wife doing nothing like this, he stepped forward and slapped Li a few times, and scolded: "You are still not human." Let the child go to other people's houses to beg for food, don't say that you are still strange now, are you still unreasonable? ”

Li said aggrievedly: "If it's just work, it's just living with a maid." He also taught me that my children did not recognize me. ”

Da Lang said angrily: "It's like you usually treat her well, who doesn't know that you always beat and scold her?" Now that someone treats her gently, it will naturally show that you are vulgar and bad, and a good mother has to be like a stepmother. ”

Li Shi was even more aggrieved and choked: "It's not that you dislike me for giving birth to a daughter, and let me suffer so many grievances, why do you say that I treat her harshly now?" ”

Zhu'er's tears rippled and she couldn't cry: "Huanhuan is also a daughter, why is the second aunt so precious to her, but my mother once treasured me?" ”

Li Shi was a little sad when he heard this, and he opened his mouth and spitted: "If you think she is good, you will recognize her as a mother." I don't want to feed you yet, and I can save you a dowry if you lose money and goods. ”

Zhu'er is also very sad today, and said what she has been thinking about for many years: "From childhood to adulthood, as long as it is good, it is for my younger brother." I know that my younger brother wants to support the elderly, and I am a foreign-married girl, after all, the person who wants to marry out of Lu is a loser. But why do you beat me every time my brother gets into trouble? You are not happy about what I do every day, and your brother is just playing with mud, and you say that you are smart. You're always like that, and it's like you've picked it up. ”

Li scolded hatefully: "The old lady crawled out of her stomach, what do you care about me?" If you think she's good. You'll pass it on to her. Hmph, give me your food money over the years and I'll agree. ”

Li said it casually, who would have thought that Liu Ruyi would be in his heart, and this daughter would take away the dowry when she got married. If Zhu'er passes on to the second room, the family will save a lot of money.

Pulling Da Lang to whisper, Da Lang disagreed, Liu said: "The family is not as good as one day at a time, seeing that she is about to get married, where is the dowry?" Besides, now that she understands the reason, who is her father, she is still afraid that she will not recognize you? Besides, the second room already likes her, if they want to, they will give it to them, how many times can they go back to their parents' house when they get married in the future? Even if there is creation, she doesn't care about you, and even the clansmen can't get used to her when she says it's ugly. ”

Da Lang thought about it for a long time, and he felt that this was not something that his son's family could want. The adoptives are all sons, so there are daughters?

Liu Ruyi whispered again: "The field in the second room is still with us, if Erlang comes back, he will say that those few acres of land will be used as the price of Zhu'er over the years." ”

Even if Zhu'er gets married, it is impossible to have so much dowry, Da Lang still thinks that it is not good to sell his daughter to say it.

Li didn't hear what was said in front of him, but he heard that Zhu'er would not return the land if he gave the second room. I thought about it for a long time and felt that it was a good deal.

This child has been afraid of himself since he was a child, and now he dares to say a few words against himself because of Dong Xiaoman. Staring at her can scare her into tears, and in the future, she will go to the second room's house or listen to her own fiddling?

In this way, his family has gained several acres of land for nothing, and he will not have to give a dowry when Zhu'er marries in the future. She is her mother-in-law, and her filial piety will be given to herself first in the future.

Thinking of this, I looked at Da Lang, and the two of them had a somewhat tacit understanding over the years. Seeing that Da Lang agreed, she pretended to be white and scolded: "Since you don't like to be my daughter, now give it to your second aunt as a daughter." In the future, you will not be my child, I don't care whether you are dead or alive, marry into a high family or find a lazy man. ”

When Zhu'er heard wow wow and cried, Dong Xiaoman said angrily: "Sister-in-law, Zhu'er is already so old. Even if you're angry, you can't scare her like this, it's sad for her. ”

Li sneered: "Doesn't my brother and sister like her, why don't you want it?" Now I will be the master for you, and you will be your daughter in the future. ”

Dong Xiaoman and Li only found out that they were serious after dealing with Li for a long time, and they were so angry that they choked. What do you want her to do if she has children and daughters?

Dong Xiaoman only excused himself and couldn't be the master, if his father-in-law agreed to be a witness, he would still be able to support a daughter for nothing.

Dong Xiaoman looked for Mrs. Wang to watch the child, and took Xiaohu and the crying Zhu'er to the old house with the Changfang family.

When Old Man Zhang heard about this, he scolded Da Lang, but the Li family is white-faced today, and he doesn't want Zhu'er to do it in the end. Zhu'er was pitiful and crying so much that she was about to lose her breath, and it was useless to kneel and kowtow and beg.

After the last moment, Li said: "Erlang's family, it's not easy for me to feed my children. Child, you can't ask for it in vain, she has a younger brother below, and a father and mother have to be filial, so give me a few acres of land in front of her. ”

Only then did Dong Xiaoman understand that they were exchanging their children for land. Now a few dozen catties of grain outside can be exchanged for a girl, and several acres of land can be exchanged for yourself? It's a good deal, but looking at Zhu'er's pity, he agreed to his land without planning to come back. /

Dong Xiaoman whispered in Zhu'er's ear: "You can see, your father and mother are prepared to come today." Would you like to come with me? ”

Zhu'er saw that she couldn't change it, so she agreed, even if she didn't agree, it was useless.

Dong Xiaoman got up and said: "I want to write a note, don't you don't admit that Zhu'er passed it on to me at that time, I have no land and no children, but I have a big hair." ”

Li nodded: "That's natural, you just write." ”

Dong Xiaoman asked San Lang for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and San Lang saw that his brother and sister-in-law were so despicable that he felt disgusted even when he saw it, so he went back to the room alone, and swore that the farther away from them in the future, the better.

The approximate meaning written on the note is: Because Erlang left home, Dalang was busy farming and helped the second house to farm. The autumn harvest was improper, and the big house temporarily collected a few acres of second-room fields as a year's distribution. Later, due to the reasons of the long house, the female pearl was passed on to the second room as compensation.

After Li and Da Lang saw it, they were angry, of course, they didn't want to admit that they didn't want to give Tian and sold their daughter.

Dong Xiaoman sneered: "This is the truth, if the eldest brother is unwilling, then forget it." At the beginning, you said that we used the seeds, so we took the land, and now I return your seeds, can you give me the field? ”

Although grain is expensive now, in the long run, it is the land that is important. How could the long house be willing, and he would admit it at the moment, so it was witnessed by Mr. Zhang, and the matter of Changfang's succession to the second room was determined.

Dong Xiaoman didn't stay to eat, and the children at home were still young and left with Zhu'er. Before leaving, he didn't forget to go to the house of his two good women to say hello, and by the way, he told the reason for his return.

The next day, the village chief's wife and her sister-in-law spread the news that the long house occupied the second house and compensated their daughter forcefully, and the reputation of Zhang's family room was notorious for a while.

The Li family, a person who can abuse even his own daughter, is even rumored to be mistreating his daughter-in-law in the future. At a young age, Bao'er was branded as not a good person. RQ
