Chapter 31 Children are the hope of the future
"Hey, isn't this the little girl of the Cheng family?"
"yes, isn't that Qingqing? How did you get tied up like this? ”
"They didn't dare to say anything just now, could it be that they came to our village to steal children?!"
"Yes, I work in the town, and I always hear that some families have lost their children, and I hear that they have been abducted by human traffickers. The traffickers would sell the stolen children, the better ones would be sold to the big families as maids, and the worse ones would be sold to the green houses. ”
"Qinglou? That's not ......"
"Yes, those traffickers just have a bad conscience."
"No, that's not the case, this little girl is the daughter-in-law that our boss married for his son, no, let's pull people today."
The second tiger heard that everyone was talking more and more outrageous, and hurriedly explained:
"Uncle, I really didn't lie to you this time, what I said is true."
"You say so good, who can prove it?"
Before the village chief could speak, one of them asked directly.
"yes, who can prove it?"
Erhu looked at the aggressive crowd and wiped the sweat from his forehead,
"Cheng and Cheng Dagui can do it, this little girl is their child."
When everyone heard this, the village chief hurriedly ordered:
"Stone, you go and call Dagui out."
"Alright, village chief."
When Cheng Dagui and Cheng arrived, when they saw the two tigers, their intuition was not good.
Isn't it specifically looking for a time when there are fewer people? Why are you still being bumped into?
"Dagui, your family is Qingqing, what's going on?"
Who is the village chief? After all, he became the head of a village, and his eyes were naturally vicious, but he saw the panic in the eyes of Cheng Dagui and the others clearly.
"Village Chief, we are ...... Qingqing"
Cheng Dagui didn't know what to say for a while, at that time they gave Xiaoxiao to Chongxi, and the people in the village talked nonsense every day, so that his head was almost unable to rise.
Although he is a bastard, Xiaoxiao is also his own daughter, if he didn't really have no money for drinking at that time, he wouldn't have done that.
Even if he has no face and no skin, he is also a human being, even if he is ruthless, but so many gossips crash into his ears from time to time, making him very uncomfortable.
Because of his previous experience, he and Cheng chose to do it secretly because of their previous experience, so this time they married Qingqing.
"Uncle Gui, isn't it your family's marriage to your daughter today? What to be embarrassed to say. ”
Erhu looked at Cheng Dagui and hesitated, and hurriedly opened his mouth, what is this hiding for?!
"Marry a daughter? Dagui, Qingqing is so young, you let her marry? Which family did you marry her to? ”
"It's really possible, I heard my mother-in-law say that Xiaoxiao's girl didn't come to the village yesterday, and she heard the girl say that Cheng was going to marry her sister."
One of them seemed to think of something, and hurriedly spoke.
"It seems that yes, I heard that I am going to marry this girl Qingqing to that yellow fool in Wangjia Village."
"Yellow fool?"
"Yes, didn't Erhu just say that he was helping his boss pick up people, I remember that he seemed to be at Boss Huang's house in Wangjia Village, helping to make ceramics."
Shi also suddenly remembered what Erhu had done, and immediately looked at the village chief:
"Village chief, are you saying that I am right?"
The village chief nodded, if this is really the case, then this Cheng Dagui's family will definitely be isolated in the future!
Many years ago, there was war everywhere, and people were uprooted and displaced.
Their ancestors were forced to flee to this place in order to be at peace for a while.
Because everyone comes from different places and has different surnames, it is called Hyaknohe Village.
Even if it was just a small village, the people were very mixed, so the ancestors made some rules at that time, the first one was about children.
Do not use your child for any one purpose.
This rule has been continued for so many years, and even now, their village basically abides by it.
According to the older generation, in those years, there was a shortage of war, and many people sold or threw away their good children in order to eat a bite.
But the people in their village persevered, and when this Fengyu country was truly unified, for a long time, the people in the nearby villages were just old people, and only their village had not only young adults, but also young children.
The ancestors once said that children are the hope of the future, so no matter what happens, we must do our best to protect the children, and we must not cut off the roots in them.
He still remembers the pride on his grandfather's face in front of him, telling himself about the past.
Grandpa Tai said that at that time, every time he went out, when others heard that he was from Baihu Village, they were all envious, and his attitude was a little better than that of others.
Grandpa also said that for a while, the girl in the family was also a baby, because at that time, everyone usually threw away girls, so girls became fragrant dumplings.
At that time, their village was the richest person in the nearby village, but maybe they had been comfortable for too long, and maybe they were resting on their laurels and were reluctant to go out.
Gradually, everyone is falling behind more and more, and they are becoming more and more unable to keep up with the pace of the times.
The village chief thought that if the village chiefs who had been serving one after another could have the foresight of their ancestors, then they would not be so far behind.
Now that they are in office, he really wants to lead everyone to become rich, but he has no way.
Behind their village is a big mountain, and in normal times people may hunt on the outskirts of the mountains, and from generation to generation, those animals have long learned to be smart, and rarely move around the periphery.
Because the geographical location is a bit remote, it is not suitable for any business, so I can only rely on a few acres of land in the family to support my family.
Most of the young people in the village go to the town to find some odd jobs, while the old and young women and children stay in the village.
Nowadays, although they are poorer, most of the people in the village are self-sufficient, no, it should be said that they are content with the status quo, and they don't starve to death anyway.
Last year, this Cheng Dagui married his eldest girl to Aunt Wang's family Chongxi, just for the five taels of silver.
Although this is just their family matter, it is not a good phenomenon for Baihu Village.
If someone dares to start doing it, someone will follow suit.
Fortunately, at that time, Aunt Wang's etiquette was not less, even if everyone knew what was going on, they were just talking.
Unexpectedly, only a year later, this Cheng Dagui thought about selling their second girl, how old is their family? seems to be only eight years old, why are they so ruthless as fathers and mothers?
"Cheng Dagui, is it really you marrying your daughter today?"
The village chief asked again, just to give him a chance to defend himself.
"Yes, we're marrying our daughter today, what's wrong? It doesn't seem to be in your way, right?! ”
Cheng saw Cheng Dagui's entangled face, glared at him, and opened his mouth angrily.
The man in front of her really didn't have any responsibility at all, how did she follow him blindly?
Qingqing is their own daughter, and they still need to discuss with others when they get married?
They chose to be sneaky this time because they didn't want to be talked about like last time, but if they lost ten taels of silver because they were afraid of rumors, it wouldn't be her style.
