Chapter 897: A Chance Encounter
Yanzi also thought the same as Feng's, this time it should be possible, and she was very sad.
When she returned to the house, she was already thinking about how to hit her headlong and die, anyway, it was absolutely impossible for her to be a concubine, and it was useless to beg her mother, so she could only sacrifice herself.
Thinking about it, her tears rolled down, but she didn't expect that she would be like this in the end.
Ever since she heard about Yanzi from Zhou Xing, the Zhou family has always been relieved, she is going to die head-on, how can she say that she doesn't want this life?
It's not easy to live for so many years, how can you die?
His father often said that it is better to die than to live, death is the easiest thing in the world, as soon as you close your eyes, you don't know anything, and the most important thing is to grit your teeth and live.
Now there is not as much work on the mountain as before, and with the help of the Gu family, they have a lot of idle time, that is, pulling weeds and the like everywhere, nothing important.
Because of this, the Zhou family has time to think about the swallow, otherwise he is too busy to touch the ground, where is the time?
Zhou Xiang saw that he was absent-minded, so he came to him and asked, "What are you thinking?" I see you've been around here for a while, and you're not going anywhere else, and you're not even a single seedling, so what are you doing here? ”
The Zhou family shook their heads, "I was in a trance for a while, I'll go over there to work." ”
Zhou Xiang grabbed him, "Okay, anyway, it's not busy at this time, let's talk." ”
The Zhou family nodded, and Zhou Xiang said, "You should marry at your age, but now that we have become the descendants of other people's families, these things are not up to us, the last time your mother came to the mountain, we also discussed, the main family is easy to talk to, see if you mention it to them, in case you are willing to let you marry a daughter-in-law?" But you are a slave now, even if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you can only marry someone like us. ”
"The master's family pays us wages, and all the money is saved there, if you can, your mother and I said that we will give you all the wages of a few of us to redeem yourself, so that you can take a serious daughter-in-law, you are the eldest son of the Zhou family, you have to continue the incense."
As soon as they heard this, the Zhou family immediately shook their heads, "Dad, how can this be done?" Our family is in one place, working hard, how can we redeem all our wages for me alone? Even if I redeem myself with that money and become a free body, I won't be able to sleep well, isn't this just selling my family to ask myself for a stable life? I don't want to. ”
"Let's save the money and redeem ourselves together, and I think it's a good life in the Lin family, better than our own family, although it was sold to the Lin family as a subordinate, but the Lin family has not treated us badly, what's wrong?"
Zhou Xiang said, "It's good, but in the end, it's for someone to be a subordinate, just say that you marry a daughter-in-law, then you can't help yourself, your younger brothers and sisters are sensible, and they also know the importance of telling them, and they won't say anything." ”
The Zhou family still resisted, "No, either our family will redeem ourselves, or we will all stay here, anyway, I won't leave alone, you don't need to say anything about this, our family, good days and hard days are spent together, I will never do such a thing." ”
Zhou Xiang knew his eldest son's temper, so he didn't say anything anymore, but just sighed, "Alas, our family is suffering from such a disaster. ”
The Zhou family smiled, "Dad, you won't think about it, if you want me to tell me, in fact, our family is lucky, we suffered a disaster before, how many families in the village didn't even save their lives, we not only survived, but also were bought back by such a good family, and the life is almost the same as before, what else is there to ask for?" Isn't it much happier to think so? ”
Zhou Xiang smiled, "Or will my son think, the current life is very good, the house here is wide, we farm and work every day, what is the difference from home?" Okay, just listen to you, save the money, and when you are older in the future, the main family will also open up to say goodbye to you, so don't worry about it now. ”
Although the Zhou family comforted his father so much, he still couldn't let go of the swallow in his heart, in fact, they had been in contact before, once the swallow was beaten, and went to the river to wash clothes, just when he went down the mountain to catch the ducks, and also arrived at the river, saw her crying alone by the river, so he went over to comfort her a few words, and then he knew that she was from the village.
Yanzi usually no one speaks, but a person appeared on the side, so he chatted a few words with him, and saw that he didn't look like a bad person, and cried even more as he spoke.
At that time, the Zhou family felt very sorry for her, but with her own identity, where could she say anything more to others? So he drove the duck back and locked it up, and hurried up the mountain.
From then on, he could see the swallow washing clothes by the river at the bottom of the mountain, and he would not go over it for fear of being seen, and if there was no one around, he would go over and talk to her.
Yanzi was also very happy with him, he knew what kind of life Yanzi was living at home, just like Zhou Xing said, her mother was simply too much, and she didn't treat her as a daughter at all.
How can anyone do this to their daughter? Their family has always been very poor, because of natural disasters, the family can't eat, but even so, his mother has not wronged his sister, everything to eat is close to the children, and they will let those who are older brothers let their sisters more.
Swallow's family is also having a hard time, but no matter what, it's better than their family's troubles, right?
He had also seen Yanzi's two younger brothers, although they were also wearing clothes with patches, but they were white and fat, where were they the same as Yanzi, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and they didn't eat much at first glance.
They are all better off than swallows as subordinates in the Lin family, but their lives are really hard.
He was on the mountain all day long, and the swallow was busy with his family work, and only came here when he was washing clothes, and sometimes he was too busy to wash it directly in the weir pond, so they didn't have many opportunities to get along, and they didn't say a few words together, but the swallow left a deep impression on his heart.
Sometimes he thinks of her when he is free, and he wants to know if she is doing well at home, whether she has been beaten again, looking at the injuries on her body is strange, a girl, where can she bear it?
Yanzi has suffered many grievances over the years, and when it comes time to get married, she has to be forced by her mother to be a concubine, and she really doesn't know what to say.
