The clear blue sky was cloudless and as clear as jasper.

Aunt Li stood at the door of the house with the children, looking forward to the good news of Daddy Li, hunger was like a fire, burning in everyone's stomach.

One by one, their eyes were red with hunger, and they were dumbfounded......

Suddenly, Daddy Li's figure appeared, with nothing on his body, but behind him was a familiar middle-aged man, as well as a strange, triangular-eyed, gauze mother-in-law.

At this moment, Daddy Li's heart was like thousands of sharp blades scraped in his heart, his hands and feet trembled, and tears rolled down in strings.

Wiping away his tears, he let people into the house tremblingly, took a bench for them to sit down, and stood on the other side.

And Aunt Li had already rushed inside, sobbing with her head over.

The two youngest children were at a loss as to what had happened, hungry and listlessly squatting on the ground, their little faces as thin as withered vegetable leaves because they had not had enough to eat for several days.

Li Qiu, who had just come back, leaned against the door weakly, his younger brother Li Dong was fifteen years old this year, he dropped out of school last year, he was wearing a long shirt with patches, standing quietly in the courtyard, the eyes of the brothers were moist.

The two brothers first looked at the middle-aged man and the mother-in-law in distraction, and then turned their heads elsewhere.

The room was silent for a while, and the mother-in-law with triangular eyes couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Chief Wang, where is that child now?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Daddy Li, who lowered his head, and sighed: "It should be inside, I am ten years old this year, and my name is Sister Yun."

After speaking, he signaled his mother-in-law with his eyes not to be impatient, and he sighed again and again.

The mother-in-law closed her mouth impatiently, looked at the tattered furnishings in the house with cold eyes, and said that she deserved to die of poverty, and she didn't even give hot water.

At this time, Aunt Li walked out of it, her feet weighed a thousand pounds, and her whole body trembled and swayed. When he came out and saw Wang Baochang, he immediately shouted: "He Uncle Wang ......" Wow, tears burst out of his eyes, he covered his face with his hands, and couldn't say half a word anymore.

Daddy Li, who lowered his head, secretly covered his face with his sleeves, and the brothers Li Qiu and Li Dong also hung their heads and wept, only the two babies looked at this scene in confusion, as if they felt a sad atmosphere, and their eyes became watery......

Wang Baochang was a little panicked, and hurriedly said to Aunt Li as if comforting: "Sister-in-law! Why are you so sad? Sister Yun went with this eldest sister, isn't it better than eating and dressing at home? Maybe you can still fall into a good family and enjoy happiness for a lifetime. Look at the chrysanthemums of Liu Er's family and the Xiangxiu of Hansheng's family, haven't they all entered the city well?"

"He's uncle." Aunt Li let out a heart-rending cry, "I, I can't sell my daughter!" Last year, I was sick, and I refused to sell it for such a hard time, and this year I can't sell it even more, my sister Yun, my daughter...... Woo......"

"Not for sale?" The mother-in-law nailed Wang Baochang a look.

"Lao Li, what's the matter? Changed your mind? I said it well last night. Wang Baochang turned to ask Father Li.

"Old ghost!" Aunt Li suddenly pounced on her husband with tears and scolding, "You are a wreck, you can't support your children, and you want to sell my daughter if you have nothing to eat!" Why don't you die...... Come on, everyone is desperate to get clean! No one can sell my daughter, never!"

Father Li retreated again and again, his face was covered with tears, but he shouted, "Damn! Didn't you nod your head last night? It's not my own master. Brother Wang, you see that she is unreasonable!"

The mother-in-law stood up abruptly and walked out, pouting as she walked: "Okay, okay, I can't go!" What a play, hum! I've seen a lot of this old lady. ”

"Wait, wait." Wang Baochang hurriedly ran out to stop her, and said again and again: "Wait a while, she will figure it out." Come, Lao Li, I'll go outside with you and say a few words. ”

No one noticed that there were three people standing outside the small courtyard wall, one of them was Liu Er, a villager who was talking to Li Qiu in the field, and the other tall young man looked sympathetic at first, then stunned, and then began to sneer.

Dashan heard the fifth young master sneer: "Sure enough, the poor person must have something to hate."

At this time, Wang Baochang pulled Daddy Li out, Aunt Li was still crying in the house, and the two babies were frightened, crying and hugging her thighs.

Li Qiu went in to help his mother and sat on the stool, while Li Dong pulled his two younger brothers and hid in the room.

Li Dong, who has been reading for several years, understands very well that the family has not eaten a full meal for seven or eight days, the family has no money, it is actually difficult to sell wild grass and timber, the crops in the fields have to find a way to continue farming, and the mother's illness has to buy medicine. In addition, raising silkworms and weaving cloth is possible this year, and his strength is not even able to withstand the old father, but he is still a half-old child, and the burden of the whole family is heavy on the shoulders of the eldest brother alone.

So when my father came to Uncle Wang to discuss last night, he didn't show fierce opposition, and the eldest brother didn't speak because he was overwhelmed.

Although Li Dong is also sad about his sister and is unwilling to sell his sister to others, but in addition, what good way can the poor family solve the current crisis? It is absolutely not feasible to borrow money, because it is easy to get into the fields.

However, he had been studying for two years, and he thought about it all night last night, and finally came up with a solution, that is, he went to Shenjia Village early in the morning and found Shen Dashan.

Li Dong once served as Shen Kan's apprentice for a few days, and he also admired the righteous fourth master of the Shen family.

Since he wanted to sell his sister ruthlessly, he naturally had to sell it to a good family like the Shen family, and after he came back, he begged Liu Er, and Liu Er immediately promised to lead Shen Kan to his home.

Ya Po became more and more impatient, and Li Qiu, who didn't know it, said to her mother: "Forget it, let them go, I will be tired to death and fill the field with water."

Who knew that Aunt Li, who was crying and wiping away her tears, didn't answer......

Soon Wang Baochang and Daddy Li walked in, and everyone couldn't help but be silent for a while.

"Sister-in-law, what should I do?"

"Uncle He, my Sister Yun is gone, can she come back?"

"Yes, if the host's house is not far away and the people are kind. And you can visit her often. ”

"What if it sells far?"

"It's, it won't." Wang Baochang subconsciously glanced at his mother-in-law, his eyes were a little evasive, after all, everyone was sold, as for who to sell to, it was not their turn, even if it was sold to prostitutes......

Of course, the mother-in-law he found would not do this, but once it was sold to a large family in the city, it had to abide by the rules of the family, and some people did not like to have too much contact with their relatives, and it was not easy to enter the city once.

"It's all bad for this old ghost, why didn't he die early. I just hanged myself, and everyone was gone. "Aunt Li's curse of hatred.

At this time, the ten-year-old Sister Yun ran in happily carrying a basket of wild fruits, looking at the house in disbelief, the guests made her a little frightened, and handed the basket to her mother, staring around with a pair of round, innocent eyes.

The big guy had another heartache, probably except for Wang Baochang and Ya Po.

Ya Po looked at the little girl carefully, her eyebrows were clear, she was very satisfied, and asked, "Is that her?"

"Hmm." Wang Baochang nodded, not daring to look at Sister Yun's big eyes.

Shen Kan outside with his hands behind his back, also quietly looking at the well-behaved and sensible little girl, Liu Er and Dashan heard him seem to say to himself: "I want to buy a girl."

In such a society, it is very common to sell children and daughters, and no one has the ability to solve it, and how to solve it thoroughly, modern people have the answer, in short, Shen Kan is powerless.

At this stage, he has no ability to rescue the Li family, and even if he can, he doesn't want to help, because there are too many similar tragedies, not to mention that he himself is struggling to survive.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, just giving money cannot solve the problem, the labor force of the Li family is only three father and son, as Father Li is getting older, Aunt Li is sick, and half of the two young sons will not be able to count on it, in case everything goes wrong, there is a chance that the whole family will hit Sister Yun with the idea.

Not to mention anything else, you can't let the two brothers be single for a lifetime, right? Where does the money come from?

Therefore, the only thing Shen Kan can do is to buy Sister Yun as a maid, and when Sister Yun enters the house, she will also have some ability to help her parents and relatives.

As for the future of the Li family, Shen Kan didn't want to think about it, he had a good heart, but he never wanted to be a virgin.
