Chapter 12: The heart of a thief is not dead
For dinner that day, Zeng Rong still didn't get out of bed, it was brought to her by Zeng Hua, there were no eggs, only a bowl of vegetable porridge, there was no oil and water in the stomach of this body, plus he was hungry for a day, Zeng Rong couldn't take care of it anymore, and ate this bowl of vegetable porridge into his stomach.
At night, Zeng Rong originally wanted to talk to Zeng Hua well, but before going to bed, Zeng Hua brought her a basin of foot washing water, which made Zeng Rong also wake up, because in the previous life, it seemed that the eldest sister had a habit before the accident, to wash her feet and wait for her to wash her feet.
No way, their quilt is too old and thin, hard, not warm at all, for this reason, when it is cold, the eldest sister will take her to wash a hot warm water foot, saying that after washing, it will be warmed up quickly when entering the quilt.
This incident once again confirmed Zeng Rong's conjecture, most likely she exchanged souls with her eldest sister, and the eldest sister must have guessed the truth.
With Zeng Rong's understanding of her eldest sister, she may not be able to accept this matter so quickly, so she didn't dare to say more, for fear that the two sisters would be seen through.
However, Zeng Hua took the initiative to tell her, saying that Ouyang Si had agreed to teach her to identify herbs early the next morning.
Zeng Rong didn't dare to say anything more after hearing this, and besides, she also knew that she was sick, Zeng Hua had more work on her body, she had to get up early every day, her body was only six years old, how could she eat without enough sleep?
But who knows, Zeng Rong had a fever again that night, babbling constantly, and in a daze, she sensed that there were hands taking care of her constantly, either patting her body and gently coaxing her or helping her wipe her sweat and body, tossing until it was almost dawn to be more stable.
When Zeng Rong opened her eyes, Zeng Hua was no longer in bed, she shouted twice, and when she saw that no one answered, she pondered and got up from the bed.
The main thing is that she is too hungry.
After looking around, and seeing that there was nothing for her to eat in the room, she got out of bed, and after holding on to the edge of the bed to get used to it, she saw that there was no previous vertigo, so she opened the door and walked to the back porch.
In the middle of the back porch is the stove room, there is a room on each side, earlier, these two rooms were used to stack firewood and sundries, after Tian Shuilan got married, because she was unwilling to live in the house of Zeng Rong's biological mother before, she took the initiative to live in this room on the west side of the back porch.
Zeng Rong also forgot these for a while, she walked along the nearest west to the stove room, probably because she was used to walking lightly in her previous life, so she didn't move at all when she crossed the threshold of the back porch, who knew that she was just about to walk to the stove edge, suddenly heard the sound of talking from the west room.
Zeng Rong retracted his feet and carefully identified it, it was the voices of Tian Shuilan and a strange woman, what the two said seemed to be something that they promised to give ten taels of silver for a year or something, no need to ask, it must be related to her.
"You too, you can believe this, a girl who is only twelve years old, can't read a single big word, can't even know a basic embroidery, what does she use to earn ten taels of silver? You are still a person from the past, let me ask you, can you and your head earn ten taels of silver a year? ”
"No, you can't. What is going on in my family, do you still know? It was Tian Shuilan who said this.
"That's not what it means." There was a hint of disdain in the other party's voice.
"But this baby really promised at the time, so why do you say this?"
"What else? I definitely don't want to be sold, I can drag it out for a year, maybe I'll have more ideas to resist you when I'm older next year. ”
Tian Shuilan believed what she said, she touched her big belly, and said a little uncertainly: "What I think is that it is better to be a year late and a year late, just this year I want to give birth to a baby, and I can help me if I stay by her side, and besides, a year later, maybe the family will be poor, and the second child will not have to go to school." ”
"You, you, let me say what is good about you? Let me ask you, how much money do you have? In case of a difficult birth, do you have the money to buy life-saving ginseng? Don't you say, I don't know how the woman who led your man died? ”
These words made Tian Shuilan shake.
Yes, she also heard that the one who died first was because of the heavy bleeding when she gave birth to a baby, and Wen Po said at that time that if there was ginseng, maybe she could save her life.
As for serving the confinement child, there is no Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua, Zeng Hua will also do the work of washing and washing, there is no need to keep Zeng Rong.
But Tian Shuilan is not stupid, she knows that the reason why the other party persuaded her is because she took a fancy to Zeng Rong's appearance, although Zeng Rong's face is dish, but this child's facial features are serious and good-looking, especially those eyes, water and smart, small nose and small mouth, eyebrows are also curved, some people say that it looks like willow leaves in spring.
Someone else said that this child was not born in a good place, and if he was born in a big family, he must be a handsome little beauty.
Otherwise, the hunter who came to see each other last time wouldn't have seen Zeng Rong and couldn't keep his mouth shut, and promised to change relatives and promise to make up a penny.
Also, this Wang Yapo also saw Zeng Rong's appearance and had other thoughts, and secretly found her, saying that it was a pity that this child was taken to exchange for relatives, and it was a pity to take it to the city and sell it to any family to be a maid, and it would be even more if it was sold to those Goolan wine shops, and it would be even more if it was sold to those Goolan wine shops, and it would be twelve taels of silver to say the least.
Tian Shuilan was moved by these twelve taels of silver.
But this time, Tian Shuilan learned wisely, since this tooth woman was so painstaking and trying to facilitate this transaction, it showed that Zeng Rong should be worth more than twelve taels of silver, so she raised the price, gritted her teeth, and asked for twenty taels of silver.
"Hey, twenty taels of silver? Could it be that this one in your family is a fairy? You also know that the child has not eaten enough for many years, there is no meat on his face, and he is still sallow, and his hair is like withered grass. To be honest, I'm also kind, seeing that your family's life is really difficult, I just went to the door one by one, but if you don't want to, I will waste these words in vain. After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she seemed to get up and leave.
Zeng Rong retreated after hearing this, but soon she heard Tian Shuilan pull her mother-in-law, "My aunt also said that my family's life is really difficult, even so, please take care of my aunt more, so that for the sake of me taking such a big risk, let me sell it at a good price." ”
"I'm already giving a good price, don't believe you go to the town and ask, which seller can give me this price? But since you have spoken, I will add you a tael of silver, thirteen taels, no more. ”
"Eighteen taels, it can't be less, her aunt, don't you know, this baby is evil, I'm still worried about how to tell her father, there are many people in this village, if the patriarch and the clan elders know that I sold the child to that kind of place, I will be taken home." Tian Shuilan saw that the other party took a step back first, and also gritted her teeth and bargained.
Zeng Rong saw that they had negotiated, and all that was left was to bargain, so she quietly retreated, this time, she had to go to the patriarch.
