Chapter 20: The Sorrow of Women

Just when Xiao Ju's house fell into a sluggish and dull atmosphere, the door of the small courtyard was slammed, Xiao Ju and Xiao Ju Niang glanced at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that the neighbor who was called to play the trafficker was coming! Xiao Ju Niang hurriedly walked out of the hall and walked towards the courtyard door.

Soon, Xiao Ju Niang followed a middle-aged man who looked loyal into the hall. When Xiao Ju saw it, she recognized that it was one of the two people brought by the old owner to be a witness for the resale of the house that day. Xiao Ju didn't dare to show the look of knowing him, but if she pretended to be a stranger, it was not like what she could do perfectly at this age, so she had to pretend to be sad and lower her head.

This middle-aged man with a loyal appearance was also interesting, and after entering the hall, he stared at Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang for a long time before he said to Xiao Ju Niang: "You want to sell this girl and boy?"

Xiao Ju Niang looked at this serious neighbor, and suddenly felt uneasy in her heart, knowing that it was fake, but there was always a feeling that as long as she answered, it was as if she had really sold these children. I didn't dare to reply for a long time.

At this time, Hu Daring stood up and quickly interjected: "Only sell girls!" Boys don't sell!" As soon as Xiao Ju heard this, her cold heart felt like she was being pinched tightly by a hand, and she felt a burst of colic. I had to breathe in desperately, comforting myself in my heart: no, no, the man in front of me named Hu Daring is not his biological father, his biological father is in modern times, and he loves himself as a pearl in his palm, not to mention selling himself, and he is very distressed when he is wronged.

"Sell both!" Xiao Ju Niang didn't look at Hu Daring, and said in a cold voice.

"This girl is worth a hundred pounds of cornmeal! As for this boy, he's too young to do anything, it's not worth much, at most thirty pounds of cornmeal!" The middle-aged man with a loyal face commented seriously, and his expression was no different from that of a human trafficker who had been trafficking in human beings for many years. Let Xiaoju listen to the drum in her heart, and secretly said, it won't be a fake, right?

"Sell girls, boys don't sell!" Hu Daring's face was dark, and his eyes looked at Xiao Juniang with some fierceness. Xiao Ju Niang had never seen Hu Daring with such a look, and she was so frightened that she took a few steps back to the side.

"Discuss it! Do you want to sell one or two? I'm short on time!" The dummy trafficker said impatiently.

"Sell girls! The boy is going to stay in the family and carry on the family lineage!" Hu Daring's face is unquestionable. Xiao Ju Niang was about to refute, Hu Daring's hand was raised towards Xiao Ju Niang, Xiao Ju and Xiao Ju Niang didn't react, Xiao Ju Niang's face was slapped firmly, the strength of this slap was really not small, and Xiao Ju Niang was slapped back several steps, and half of her face was swollen.

When Xiao Ju saw this scene, she exclaimed sadly, "Mother!" rushed towards Xiao Ju Niang and blocked Xiao Ju Niang with her small body.

"You stinky woman, what kind of heart do you have? Selling my son, you want me to be bold and peerless!" Hu boldly gritted his teeth and stared at Xiao Juniang fiercely.

"Hmph, what kind of heart do I have? You're Ann's black heart! Xiaoju is not your biological daughter? She's the meat that fell from my body, and if you don't feel heartache, my heart hurts! Since it's all the meat that fell from my body, anyway, if you follow you, you'll either starve to death or sell it, so sell them all, and give them a way to live!" Xiao Ju Niang pulled Xiao Ju behind her, straightened up and stood in front of Hu Daring, and said with a resolute face.

"How can you speak in the Hu family? A woman's family, no matter how you make the decisions, see if I don't beat you!" Hu Daring raised his hand again and threatened.

"You hit! If you have the ability, you can kill me! I don't have to live this life with you! I was so blind that I agreed to marry a man like you! Not only does he not have the ability to support his wife and children, but he also beats his wife to get angry!" Xiao Ju Niang scolded, and spat at Hu Daring. And the dummy trafficker stood aside, looking at Xiao Ju and the two of them, with a sympathetic look on his face.

Xiao Ju saw this situation, afraid that her mother would suffer a loss, so she hurriedly pulled her mother's clothes and said, "Mother, then sell me first!" You will be strong in the future! ”

Although Zhuang Zhuang is young, the poor man's child is in charge of the house, and he has long understood many things. At this time, from the quarrel between my mother and my father, I already understood that the family wanted to sell my sister for food because of poverty.

But because he heard his mother say that he was going to sell him and Sister A together, he thought in his little heart that if he sold him with Sister A, it would mean that he could still stay together in the future, so he was always next to Sister A, and he didn't cry.

At this time, when I heard Sister A say that she would only sell her, I suddenly panicked in my heart, afraid that I would never see Sister A again, so I couldn't help but pull Sister A's clothes and cry.

Xiao Ju heard Zhuangzhuang's crying words: "Sister, I want to be with you!" I felt a pang of sourness in my heart. looked at the father and mother who looked at each other angrily, and felt helpless and disheartened. She was ruthless, tore Zhuangzhuang's hand off her clothes, put it on Xiao Ju Niang's hand, and said, "Mother, take Zhuangzhuang well, I will follow this uncle first." ”

When Zhuang Zhuang saw it, he howled even louder. Xiao Ju walked up to the dummy trafficker without hearing a ear and said, "Uncle, let's go!" ”

The fake trafficker looked at Xiao Ju sympathetically, and before going out, he said to Xiao Juniang according to the pre-agreed words: "Auntie, when you go to my place to get a hundred catties of cornmeal, I will take this little girl away first!" ”

When Hu Daring saw it, he was afraid that he would be empty of people and money, so he raised his feet and wanted to follow the fake traffickers. When Xiao Juniang saw it, she put Zhuang Zhuang in Hu Daring's arms and said, "Don't you want a son?" Then take it with you! I'm going to have a good talk with my daughter and get the cornmeal back by the way! Then he wiped the tears from his face with his hand, and chased after Xiao Ju and them.

Hu Daring saw this situation, and Xiao Ju didn't look at him when he left, so he didn't feel very comfortable, so he had to hold Zhuang Zhuang and be stunned in the hall. But Zhuang Zhuang beat Hu Daring with his little hand and shouted: "I want my sister!" I want a sister! You bad guy, you sold my sister! I hate you! ”

Xiao Ju Niang quickly caught up with Xiao Ju and the neighbor, and after leaving the courtyard gate, the two of them thanked the leader for his help and separated from him. Instead of going to his house until the afternoon, he didn't follow the original plan.

Instead, he stopped at a corner not far from the courtyard, Xiao Ju saw that there was no one around, and hurriedly took out a bag of 100 catties of cornmeal from the space that had been filled a long time ago, and asked Xiao Ju Niang to carry it back.

Xiao Ju Niang asked with some concern: "Xiao Ju, where are you going to stay until the afternoon?" Mother is not at ease! Now it's such a mess out there! ”

"Mother, I'm so smart! You can rest assured! I'll be fine! I hid nearby, and when I saw you go, I went into the courtyard to hide and wait for you and Zhuangzhuang! Xiao Ju looked at the worried mother and said comfortingly.

"Looking at this situation, your father will definitely bring Zhuang Zhuang back to Huzhuang, and I have no choice but to follow! You may want to spend some time in the courtyard by yourself, but remember, don't wander around! The mother will come to you with a strong and strong man! Xiao Ju Niang said uneasily.

"Hmmm! Mother, you and Zhuang Zhuang should also be careful! Don't be sold by your father's side! Where shall I find you? Xiao Ju said the worry in her heart in a little panic.

"Xiaoju, my mother will definitely come to you!" Xiao Juniang looked at Xiao Ju's worried and pitiful eyes, her heart ached terribly, and at the same time hated Hu Daring and those Hu family members to the core.

Xiao Ju thought for a while, took out four silver dollars from the space and stuffed them into her mother's hand and said, "Mother, hide this silver dollar, don't be discovered by your father!" Maybe it can save your life when it's critical! ”

"What a mother's good girl!" Xiao Ju Niang pinched the silver dollars with the taste of Xiao Ju in her hand, she couldn't help it, and hugged Xiao Ju and cried for a while.

Xiao Ju was afraid that the bad people would see the bag of grain noodles on the ground, so she gritted her teeth and pushed Xiao Ju Niang away and said, "Mother, you quickly carry the grain and noodles back, be careful not to be discovered, and then cause trouble!" I'll go first! After saying this, Xiao Ju turned the corner, and after leaving Xiao Ju Niang's sight, she saw that there was no one around, so she flashed into the small space.

Xiao Ju Niang saw Xiao Ju leave, wiped her tears, and hurriedly carried the bag of cornmeal back to the small courtyard.
