In the old house, Ai Qiaoqiao cleaned up the kitchen, watched the adjusted meat filling poured into the casings one by one, and the plump and oily sausages were plated in the basin, piled up high, and his heart was indescribably happy.

That's what it feels like to have enough food and clothing.

The sausages were hung up to dry for several days before they could be eaten, and in order to prevent them from being pecked by wild cats or birds from the mountains, she also put the sausages in the cave and hung them in a ventilated place.

"Qiaoqiao girl, Xiaoling is here." Listen to the wind beckoning outside the cave.

Ai Qiaoqiao hurriedly came out and handed over the rest of the work to listen to the wind and rain.

Xiao Ling stood outside the door with tears in her eyes.

"Xiaoling, what's going on?" Ai Qiaoqiao greeted him out.

"Sister Qiaoqiao...... My dad was still going to sell me. ”

"Don't cry, you speak slowly." Ai Qiaoqiao booed and coaxed.

Xiao Ling told Ai Qiaoqiao what she had overheard Ma Shi and Ai Yonggui outside the window just now.

Xiaoling was young and said something unclear, but Ai Qiaoqiao still roughly understood the reason for the matter.

Ma still felt sorry for her daughter, but she didn't dare to refute Ai Mingshan's opinion, who made him the head of the family.

She had to ask Ai Yonggui for an idea.

Ai Yonggui's attitude was quite sincere, he looked at the worried Ma, and resolutely decided to use his daughter to clear his mistakes.

"My dad said it...... When the time comes, you will secretly send me to the Zhou Mansion...... By the time my father found out, it was too late. Xiao Ling choked.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoling, I'll take you to see Brother Ye, he has something for you."

Ai Qiaoqiao took Xiaoling to the East House.

Ye Liyan put down the medical book in his hand, watched Ai Xiaoling come in and knelt on the ground to kowtow to him in a proper manner.

"You have to put this pill away." Ye Liyan took out a jet-black pill from the brocade bag and handed it to Ai Xiaoling.

Ai Xiaoling looked at the pill in her hand puzzled, at a loss.

Ai Qiaoqiao patiently explained, "If your father wants to secretly send you to the Zhou Mansion, he must be afraid that your father will find out, so he will definitely add drugs to the meal that day to make you sleepy, as long as you take this medicine before eating, you will stay awake, but you have to pretend to be asleep, so that he will take you out." ”

Xiao Ling blinked, "How do I know when my father is going to smuggle me to Zhou's house?" ”

Ai Qiaoqiao's smile was more bitter, "As long as that meal is very good, your father lets you eat it, and your grandmother doesn't scold you, that's it." ”

"I see!" Ai Xiaoling nodded and carefully put away the pills.

Before sending her back, Ai Qiaoqiao repeatedly instructed her not to panic or make a sound.

"Sister Qiaoqiao will save me, right?" Ai Xiaoling's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Well, Brother Ye will arrange everything, Xiaoling must be obedient, your mother is still waiting for you to reunite with her."

Two days later in the morning.

Ai Qiaoqiao was chopping meat in the yard, two kitchen knives flew up and down, listening to the wind and rain running in from outside.

"Qiaoqiao girl, there is a carriage at the entrance of the village, and it will not enter the village when it stops there, and it has been a while."

Ai Qiaoqiao put down the kitchen knife, turned around and ran to the east house.

As soon as he entered the door, he almost hit his head on the body of the night leave.

"Reckless." Night Death reprimanded.

"Quick, quick...... It must be someone from the Zhou Mansion......" Ai Qiaoqiao urged.

Ye Liyan grabbed her arm and pulled her in front of her, "What's the panic, since they can find out that there is a carriage outside the village, my people will definitely be able to find out." ”

"Your people?" Ai Qiaoqiao was stunned.

"Do you really think I'm doing nothing these days?" Nightfall looked at her with a smile.

Most of the guys under him were from the rivers and lakes, and they were more than enough to keep an eye on the movements of the Zhou Mansion and Ai Yonggui.

Ai Qiaoqiao knocked her head hard, how could she forget about it.

After calming down a little, Ai Qiaoqiao went to the kitchen to get some skin jelly made in the past few days, put it in a food box and went to the Ai family's compound.

Ai Mingshan was the only one sitting in the upper room, Ai Daquan didn't know where he had gone, and Ma Shi was nowhere to be found.

"Master, I brought you some self-boiled skin jelly, as well as peanut candy made by myself." Saying that, Ai Qiaoqiao took out the peanut candy wrapped in a handkerchief and put it on the table, "Master, you taste it." ”

Ai Mingshan shook his head with a smile, "Ye is not a child, what kind of candy do you eat." ”

"Then I'll give Xiaoling a few pieces to taste." Ai Qiaoqiao said and stretched her neck to look out of the house, and muttered, "It's strange, I haven't seen Xiaoling since I entered the courtyard, and there is no one in the kitchen." ”

Hearing this, Ai Mingshan raised his head in surprise and looked outside.

Ai Qiaoqiao retracted her gaze at this time, "Forget it, I still left it for my milk to eat, by the way, master, what about my grandmother, why didn't you see her in the courtyard?" ”

"Your grandmother went to your second uncle's house to talk." Ai Mingshan sighed, "I quit Xiaoling's family business, your grandmother is uncomfortable, she has been chatting with your second uncle these days...... I also asked you to go to the city in vain to beg someone Ruo Gongzi, I really can't live with others......"

Ai Qiaoqiao didn't talk about this matter at all, but she followed the old man's words and said: "It's not, fortunately, Ruo Gongzi and the Night God Doctor are old acquaintances, otherwise my good thing will become a bad thing, and if I owe Ruo Gongzi a favor, I have to apologize......"

The more Ai Mingshan listened, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, and chatted with Ai Qiaoqiao for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The yard was so quiet.

In the past, Ai Qiaoqiao came over, no matter what she brought, she would come out to take a look, and then say a few words of dissatisfaction.

Ai Mingshan stood up on crutches and walked out the door.

Ai Qiaoqiao held his arm, and said comfortingly: "My grandmother may have gone out to visit the door." ”

Ai Mingshan came to the door of Ai Yonggui's house and called twice.

"Master, there seems to be no one in the house." Ai Qiaoqiao said.

Ai Mingshan is also called Xiaoling, but still no one responds to him.

Just as he was about to go out of the gate, Ai Yonggui and Ma Shi rushed back out of breath.

"Dad, where are you going?" Ai Yonggui stopped Ai Mingshan and Ai Qiaoqiao at the door, and his eyes couldn't stop examining the expression on Old Man Ai's face.

"Where have you been?" Ai Mingshan asked.

Ma Shi didn't say anything, Ai Yonggui said: "My mother is bored at home, I will accompany her out for a walk." ”

Ai Mingshan glanced at Ai Yonggui and snorted coldly, "You still have the face to go out of this door?" ”

Now it has spread all over the village, the old Ai family married a daughter and was sold into slavery, Ai Qiaohua has become the biggest laughing stock, and the people in the village talk after tea and dinner.

Coupled with Ai Xiaoling's matter, the reputation of the old Ai family is even worse.

Although Ai Mingshan immediately retired from Xiaoling's family affairs after getting the news, he still became the object of pastime among the people in the village.

It's one thing to sell a daughter, at least the daughter is sold to a big family, and she lives like a young grandmother.

But Xiaoling is different, it is Chongxi, who wants to accompany Zhou Xiaogongzi to the underground.

Back in the upper room, Ai Yonggui first found an excuse to go back to the house.

Ma Shi sat on the kang and fiddled with the needle and thread, as if he was a little distracted, and he didn't even glance at the peanut candy on the table.

", where's Xiaoling?" Ai Qiaoqiao was extremely unkind, "I brought peanut candy, why don't you see her in the courtyard?" ”

Ai Qiaoqiao saw Ma Shi raise his head, staring at her with dead eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Milk, what's wrong with you, like you're going to bite." Ai Qiaoqiao unceremoniously teased Ma's nervous nerves.
