Chapter 41: Buying People
Cheng Chuyang wanted to remind her that no matter what kind of situation she encountered, she would not be too shocked and have too much impact. As a result, not only did she not appreciate it, but she also misunderstood!
He secretly held his breath, and only then did he stop the urge to scold.
It would be nice if it was Cheng Siyi who came with him, if he didn't agree with him, he would beat him up first!
Cheng Xiangjin didn't care how aggrieved he was, anyway, she was in a very good mood when she enjoyed the countryside all the way!
The first victim they were responsible for escorting was a thirteen-year-old girl nicknamed Sanya. Perhaps because of his ordinary appearance, he escaped the fate of being sold to the Qinglou, but was sold to a rich family as a maid. Fortunately, the family was kind-hearted and did not abuse and bully her, but saved a lot of money in the past two years.
Later, the yacha found her, and the rich man was not embarrassed, and let her go.
Now this girl is walking on the familiar road home, and the excitement and anticipation on her face have infected many people in her companionship. During this period, she also mentioned her mother and her sisters to Cheng Xiangjin many times. She said that it was the closest person in her life.
At that time, Cheng Xiangjin felt that this girl must be lucky and different.
finally sent people home, Cheng Xiangjin and the girl were stunned!
There was no expectation of mother and daughter hugging each other and crying, booing and asking for warmth, there were no sisters around each other to care for each other, they only saw numbness and indifference. There is even a dislike of nothing.
Cheng Xiangjin didn't understand, obviously their child came back alive, shouldn't it be a family celebration?
But why is there no joy and gratitude in their eyes? Instead, it was like seeing something dirty. Even in the face of a few of them sending their daughter back, the family didn't even say thank you.
It seemed that this situation had been expected for a long time, and as soon as the people arrived, Cheng Chuyang led them to the next house. At this level, you get used to it when you see more.
After they left, the thirteen-year-old girl entered the home of her memory with trepidation, the house was still in the dilapidated shape of her memory, but the mother who had given her warmth and love in her memory was gone, but she saw a numb face.
At the end of the day, no one prepared a meal or a bowl of water for her. There were no brothers or sisters to talk to her, and everyone stood far away as if they were hiding from the plague god.
In just one day, the girl who loved to laugh understood what they meant. It turned out that they didn't expect her back as much as she thought she would! There is even some disgust and disgust.
Facing such a loved one made her heart feel extremely cold.
Perhaps, for this dilapidated family, she died outside, and then the government gave her family another pension, that is what they are looking forward to more, right?
With a smile on her face, she counted all the money she had smuggled back, and gave it all to her mother with trepidation. She didn't even have the courage to look at her mother's expression at that time for fear of being disliked.
That night, after everyone had slept, she chose to go to the firewood room and ended her life at the age of thirteen with a piece of white silk. Waiting for the moment of death, she did not have a trace of nostalgia and hesitation.
The next day, her body was found, and everyone, including her mother, whom she had been so proud of, breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good to be dead, it's clean to be dead!"
When Cheng Xiangjin and his entourage finished sending the third one and turned back, they saw the two families who were sent back first at the funeral. At that moment, she almost went crazy!
Such people are terrible!
At this time, she finally understood what Cheng Chuyang reminded her on the day of departure, but it was too late.
I thought these girls were lucky, because they escaped being sold into a green house, escaped being beaten and abused, and even escaped the incursion of various diseases. Unexpectedly, what they couldn't hide from in the end was the indifference and white eyes of their relatives!
Insensitive, indifferent, and discriminatory, for close relatives, this is definitely the top blade in the world that kills people invisibly!
She has been pampered since she was a child, but she didn't know that there was a kind of family affection in the world that was like this!
Thinking of Wang Fu, who went to the Yamen to sue the Wannian County Order in order to find his daughter, he suddenly felt that her daughter was extremely happy. Although she is no longer there, at least there was a father who really loved her and did his best to find her.
She cried and begged Cheng Chuyang to take her back to the third home she had just sent back to see if the girl was okay. Cheng Chuyang agreed.
This time, I was finally not disappointed, and I cried tears when I saw my long-lost relatives reunited.
On the way back, Cheng Xiangjin thought for a long time. She really couldn't bear to suffer these already scarred girls, so she boldly proposed her own ideas to Cheng Chuyang.
"What? You're going to buy the remaining eight girls? ”
Cheng Xiangjin nodded, "Let's just make a preparation first." If there is a third family of them who can accept their relatives like that, I will be happy to see it. However, if there are still girls in the same situation as the first two girls, I am willing to buy them and give them a way to live. ”
Cheng Chuyang thought about it for a while and felt that it was just a matter of buying a few little girls, it was not a big deal. So he nodded, "Since you have a decision, let's do what you want." However, this matter still needs to be explained to my father and grandmother. ”
Seeing that her brother, who had always been old-fashioned, also agreed with her idea, she suddenly felt warm.
"Well, it's nature."
Of the next eight, only two were lucky. Of the remaining six, two were beaten and humiliated, and almost died. Three were left out and isolated. One of them was almost sold by his brother and sister-in-law to a butcher in the village as a concubine.
Fortunately, Cheng Xiangjin and the others secretly stayed in the village for two days to observe, and they were all able to save these six girls.
In order to prevent their families from getting into trouble again in the future, Cheng Xiangjin gave two taels of silver to each household and signed a deed of sale. Since then, she has six more loyal maids by her side.
On the way back, Cheng Chuyang also joked to her, "In the future, my mother won't worry about no one around you to take care of you." With these six, there are nine people around you, and they are all about to catch up with the little ladies of the noble family! ”
successfully saved people, and Cheng Xiangjin was in a much better mood.
"Brother's sour tone, could it be that he is envious? Oh, almost forgot! In order for your mother to concentrate on your studies, there doesn't seem to be a maid in my brother's yard. What a pitiful! Otherwise, when we go home, the little sister will simply intercede with your mother for you, and let her also send a few girls with red sleeves to your courtyard. ”
Cheng Chuyang was not angry, "Don't bother with the little sister about pleading, your brother doesn't need any red-sleeved maids." ”
