When Xiao Ju Niang hugged Zhuang Zhuang and pulled Xiao Ju to walk out of the door, Xiao Ju stood in place with all her might, Xiao Ju Niang pulled a few times without pulling her, so she turned to look at Xiao Ju and asked, "Xiao Ju, what's wrong with you?"

"Mother, have you forgotten? This small courtyard is rented by my mother, you have to find the landlord to return it first, maybe you can get some money back!" Xiao Ju gestured to her mother with her eyes.

Although Xiao Ju Niang didn't know the meaning of Xiao Ju's words, she recognized this daughter's intelligence and blessing from the bottom of her heart, so she said casually: "Well, look at my memory!" Tomorrow I will go to the landlord and get rid of this little compound!"

"Dad, I want to ask, if you sell me, how much can I sell?" Xiao Ju looked at Hu boldly with the eyes of a stranger and asked.

Under Xiaoju's attention, Hu Daring felt a little guilty and a little heartache, but when he thought about going back this time, the scene where his father and mother knelt in front of him and begged him to find a way to save them, as well as the scene where the fourth brother's daughter Lotus cried and was taken away by traffickers, and the little sister begged him to find a way to get some food back, otherwise she would be the one who was sold next time, that sad look.

He knows that if the little sister is really sold, with her appearance, nine times out of ten she will be sold to that unsightly place, since he was a child, he has a good relationship with this sister, when he is beaten and hungry, he will often secretly get him something to eat, and often help him talk when his father and mother beat and scold him. He didn't want her to end up in that kind of place.

But now he doesn't have any savings, and he can't find a job, so he can only sell Xiaoju after thinking about it. In his mind, Xiaoju is still young, and if she is sold, she will not fall into that kind of unsightly place, at most, she will be bought by rich people to be a girl, or she will be bought by some people with a slightly better family background to be a child daughter-in-law, which is also a way to live, it is better than a family staying together and starving to death.

But when he came back today and mentioned it to Xiao Ju Niang, he didn't expect Xiao Ju Niang's reaction to be so big! In the final analysis, he is also for Xiaoju's good, and he can be regarded as finding a way to live for her. At this time, Xiao Ju looked at him, which made his heart a little uneasy. He whispered a little breathlessly: "You can exchange a hundred catties of cornmeal!"

Xiao Ju listened to it and didn't make a sound for a long time, because she knew in her heart that after this year, people would be even less valuable, and a young woman would be able to lead people away with a few catties of cornmeal at most. But no matter what, she can't forgive the father of this body.

Because this family has not yet reached the time when it is impossible to open the pot and sell people, if it is for the sake of her mother and Zhuangzhuang, she may be understandable, but now he wants to sell her for the sake of his so-called Hu family! How can this be, she is his own daughter!

Since this is the case, then leave early and rest assured. Xiao Ju said lightly: "A hundred catties of cornmeal? Well, I don't want to be sold by you! Let my mother find someone to buy me tomorrow!"

When Xiao Juniang heard this, she hurriedly said, "My son, what are you talking about?" Mother don't sell you, whoever wants to sell you, I will fight with him!" As she spoke, she glared at Hu Daring fiercely with her eyes, and her expression was eager to pounce on him and bite him twice.

"Mother, I don't even want to be sold by you, I don't want to be taken away, sold to that unknown place!" Xiao Ju winked at her mother as she spoke, Xiao Ju Niang was full of doubts, but looking at Xiao Ju's appearance, it seemed that she had other ideas, and at the same time thought of her daughter's cleverness, so she didn't say anything.

"Mother, I may leave you and Zhuang Zhuang tomorrow, I am reluctant, or, you and Zhuang Zhuang will sleep in my room tonight and talk to me?" Xiao Ju saw that her mother was quiet, and then continued.

As soon as Xiao Ju Niang heard Xiao Ju's words, with her shrewdness, she immediately knew that Xiao Ju had something to say to her at night, so she didn't pull the children away, but took the burden in her hand into Xiao Ju's room, and then went to the kitchen to make dinner.

This dinner is the most dull and heaviest meal that Xiao Ju has eaten in this house for nearly two years. Everyone lowered their heads and drank corn paste, even Zhuang Zhuang knew that something big seemed to be happening at home, and he drank his paste quietly next to Sister A, so that Xiaoju looked at it, and her heart was sour.

After drinking the paste, Xiao Ju didn't have the heart to brush the bowl, so she pulled Xiao Ju and carried Zhuang Zhuang into Xiao Ju's room, ignoring Hu Daring at all.

As soon as she entered the room, Xiao Ju Niang closed the door and asked anxiously: "Xiao Ju, do you have any good ideas!"

"Well, mother, you know Dad's temperament! I'm thinking, I don't know what the situation will be next year, anyway, if it is not sold this time, it will be sold sooner or later, so it is better to take advantage of this opportunity and get out." Xiao Ju sat quietly on the kang, thinking and talking about her thoughts.

"Well, good girl, what do you want your mother to do? Mother listens to you! As long as I don't sell you and Zhuangzhuang, let me do anything!" Xiao Ju Niang said without hesitation.

Xiao Ju listened to her mother's words, and her heart, which had become cold because of Hu Daring's actions, warmed up again. It's just that after knowing the news that Hu Daring was going to sell her, the tears that she had been holding back could no longer be held back, and they flowed out. Xiao Ju Niang looked at Xiao Ju's appearance, how could she not understand, not to mention Hu Daring's approach, which not only hurt her daughter's heart, but also hurt her heart.

Xiao Ju Niang hurriedly reached out to help Xiao Ju wipe her tears, and said while wiping: "Girl, you and Zhuang Zhuang are both mother's hearts, and my mother will not agree to sell you and Zhuang Zhuang even if she sells herself!" Your father is that old fool, we don't know about him in the future! Mother took you and Zhuangzhuang! I don't believe I can't feed you!"

After crying for a while, Xiao Ju felt a lot better, so she continued: "Mother, do you remember when the original owner came to sign the house sale paperwork and brought two witnesses?" At that time, she told us that those two people were our neighbors, and we could ask them for help if we had something! I don't think those two people are bad guys!

Tomorrow, you just go to them, let them pretend to be human traffickers, and buy me and Zhuang Zhuang in front of my father, and then I will turn into two hundred catties of cornmeal, and if you take it back, you will tell your father that it is to sell me and Zhuang Zhuang's grain noodles! At that time, I will take Zhuang Zhuang to hide at the neighbor's house until the afternoon and then go back to the courtyard!"

Xiao Ju Niang listened to Xiao Ju's method, her eyes lit up, the sadness on her face was swept away, and she smiled: "My daughter is smart!" It's a good idea! At that time, I will say that this courtyard has been retired, and you will take your younger brother to hide here first, and wait for your father to go back to deliver food, and I will stay with you under the pretext of looking for something to do in the county seat. Hmph, let their family toss then! We've lived ours! As for your father, I didn't expect to rely on him for a long time! ”

Xiaoju and her mother discussed some details carefully, and after making sure that there were no omissions, the two mothers slept with peace of mind.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ju Niang didn't make breakfast, so she went out, and came back with a relaxed face after about half an hour. Xiao Ju looked at her mother's expression and knew that things were going as she had arranged, and they were going very smoothly. I settled down and went to the kitchen to make a mess.

When the family ate breakfast silently and sat around the kang in the hall, Hu Daring lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Xiao Ju Niang, I am also reluctant to sell Xiao Ju, there is really no way, my father's family has run out of food!" I've been eating the bark and leaves for a long time. Treat it as if I begged you! As a son, I can't watch my father and mother starve to death! ”

When Hu Daring said this, he got off the kang and knelt down towards Xiao Juniang. Xiao Ju Niang saw Hu Daring's attitude, it was not good to cry and make trouble like yesterday, and she discussed with Xiao Ju how to deal with it, so she said very coldly: "You don't have to kneel to me!" Xiaoju is also your daughter, you are so ruthless as a father, I have nothing to say. However, since you are going to sell children, one is also for sale, and two are also for sale, just sell both, so it will save your heart! ”

"What do you say? Do you want to sell strong? No, Zhuang Zhuang is the male of the family, and he will depend on him for the succession in the future, I don't agree! ”

When Hu Daring heard this, he stood up in surprise and yelled at Xiao Juniang. And Xiao Ju, who was sitting on the kang with his strong arms, heard Hu Daring's words, and his heart was as cold as ice.

"Hmph, they are all the species of the Hu family, so naturally they have to think about the Hu family! There is no food at home, where do you go to find food for Zhuangzhuang? Sell Xiaoju's grain, your father and mother want you to send it back, right? You've already said yes, right? Well? Are you talking? Xiao Ju Niang asked.

"Since you haven't thought about our mothers, then let them live and sell them, anyway, if you follow you, you will starve to death sooner or later!" Xiao Ju Niang said sarcastically unceremoniously.

Hu Daring was so silent by Xiao Juniang that he was silent for a long time, just squatting on the ground with his head in his arms and sulking. Xiao Ju looked coldly at this father, who had never given their mothers any support and hope, there was such a foolish man in the world who had no heart.
