CHAPTER XLIII

A girl was laughing: "Sister Koharu is really a blessing!" I met such a good man! I'm willing to redeem my life for you! Such a value can be compared to the top brand of Ruchun Building! ”

"But people have redeemed your body, but they don't look down on your body! Not to mention being a wife and a concubine, you don't even want to be a maid! ”

"What can be done about this? You didn't see that girl in white, she looked like a fairy! Not to mention Xiaochun, even if you tie us together, it can't compare to the weight of others! ”

"That's it!"

"Isn't that a good thing? got the silver for nothing, and continue to live our free life in this spring building! ”

"That's it! Now that the world is chaotic outside, what's the good thing about going out? If we don't have a good man to rely on, our days outside are far worse than here! ”

......

The old bustard dispersed the group of mouthy girls, turned his face to Xiaochun and smiled: "Men are mostly affectionate things, we women, the most reliable is silver, and the most unreliable is men!" Now that the silver is in hand, isn't it thousands of times better than the husband and children, firewood, rice, oil and salt? ”

But Xiaochun lowered his head slightly, holding the deed of sale tightly in his hand, and his knuckles were white.

The bustard reached out and grabbed the yellow piece of paper in her hand.

But Xiaochun grasped it tightly, his face turned red, but he didn't move.

The old bustard stretched out his two hands to grab it, and Koharu turned to the side and ducked aside in panic.

The old bustard crossed his waist and scolded sharply: "Xiaochun! Why don't you bring me the deed of sale! What are you doing?! ”

Koharu trembled with fear, but she kept her head down and stood stiffly to the side.

The old bustard glanced around, and the group of thugs got the order and came to surround Xiaochun. The onlookers turned pale with fright, and hid in the distance and did not dare to speak.

Someone said: "Koharu is obedient, return the deed of sale to your mother, don't be stupid." ”

Koharu shook her head.

The old bustard sneered: "What? That boy said he wanted to redeem himself for you, but did he say that you were moved? Don't forget, how you came to Ruchun Tower, how I raised you! ”

Koharu still shook his head.

The group of thugs rushed up and captured Koharu.

Koharu struggled, but was still pressed down on the table by them. The old bustard sneered and reached out to take the deed of sale: "Silly girl! ”

But what everyone didn't expect was that Koharu actually crumpled the deed of sale into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Oops!" The old bustard exclaimed, "Hurry up! You damn it! Hurry up, take it out for me! ”

Everyone was in a hurry, pressing Xiaochun's head and pinching her mouth.

But her eyes were bright, and she gritted her teeth tightly. Her hair was torn apart, and the corners of her mouth were torn and bleeding.

But she chewed desperately and swallowed the deed of sale.

The group of thugs let go, and said, "Mom, she has eaten the deed of sale in her stomach." ”

The old bustard was furious, she lifted Koharu's hair and slapped her a few times: "Slut! Spit it out! Spit it out for me! ”

Xiaochun smiled, the corners of her mouth were bleeding: "I can't spit it out, Mom, I've already chewed it, and even if I spit it out, it's a mess of waste paper." ”

"Shh The old bustard shook her head hard, banged her head on the corner of the table, and scolded, "Slut! Stop dreaming! Do you think that if you go out, you will be able to make a loving couple with that son of yours? Bullshit! People don't look down on you at all! Even if you send it to your door in person! People don't look down on you like a slut! ”

Xiaochun sat on the ground groggily, shook his head and said, "No...... It has nothing to do with him, I just, I don't want to live like this anymore...... I have to go after what I want......"

"I think you're crazy! I'm fascinated by a ghost! ”

Xiaochun shook his head and said: "Mom, don't scold, now Xiaochun is no longer a person from Ruchun Building, and the few ingots of gold given by that son are enough to redeem Xiaochun, and you have made a lot of money...... Just let me go...... After Koharu goes out, whether it's dead or alive, I don't have to worry about my mother......"

"I don't have to worry about it!" The old bustard sneered, "You have been in Ruchun Mansion for two and a half years, how much has your mother worried about you!" Now that he has broken the deed of sale, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, so he said that he wanted to cut off relations with me! Are you worthy of me buying you back then! If it weren't for me, you'd starve to death on the side of the road!" ”

Xiaochun said: "Mother's kindness to me, how much can I repay with that gold, and the rest, Xiaochun can't repay it, even if I owe it to my mother." From now on, even if he really starves to death on the side of the road, Xiaochun will be grateful to his mother for raising her noble hand, and there will be no resentment. ”

The old bustard was so angry that he couldn't speak.

She looked at the group of girls who were still watching in the distance, and scolded: "Look at what to see! Do you want to follow suit? Don't do your own thing! ”

Koharu said: "Mom, Koharu is leaving." ”

The old bustard had a cold face: "You really made up your mind to leave?" ”

"Yes."

"That's good!" The old bustard said coldly, "Since you are no longer my girl in Ruchun Building, since you are determined to leave, then you can walk cleanly for me!" This gold has only redeemed your body, so you can only take it out, and leave the rest here!" ”

Koharu silently took out the silver taels he was carrying, took off the jewelry, and even untied the handkerchief headband.

"Is that all?" The old bustard said, "Every piece of clothing on your body, which one I didn't pay for you!" Since you are determined to leave, return all my belongings!" ”

Xiaochun said: "Mom, we have been a mother and daughter for two and a half years, can't you change my clothes for these kindnesses?" ”

"Yo!" The old bustard sneered, "Now I know the kindness!" Don't forget, you're going to cut me off, but you! How? Now you guess it! ”

With tears in her eyes, Koharu shook her head.

"Can't you take it off!" The old bustard cried, "Someone! Give her a hand! Pick her up for me! Not a single piece of cloth or thread can be left! ”

But the thugs looked at each other, and they just stood in place in embarrassment.

One person said, "Mom, let her go out and taste the bitterness, and she will naturally know that she is back......"

But the old bustard glared angrily: "What! Are you disobedient anymore? I ask you! Whose family are you? This is like who the Spring House listens to! ”

The group of thugs had to step forward: "Koharu, I'm sorry, don't blame us." ”

Xiaochun said, "Don't ...... I'll take it off myself! ”

She gritted her teeth and untied her clothes one by one, and then more hot tears fell.

The thugs turned their faces away, unable to bear to look at them.

The girls in the distance also shed tears and cried, "Mom! You just spare Sister Xiaochun, she is stupid, we all know! ”

Koharu stood slipperily, her head down, biting her lips tightly, her shoulders shaking violently.

The old bustard shouted, "It's a rebellion, isn't it! Pity her, think about how she got to this point! If anyone says one more nonsense and dares to intercede for her, I will strip her naked and throw her out the door! ”

She then looked at Koharu and scolded, "Slut! Aren't you leaving? Mother, let you go now! Let's go! ”

Koharu burst into tears: "Mom! ”

"Who's your mother! Don't forget, that's what you said, from now on! We are severed, and no one knows anyone! She turned away and said, "If she wants to go, that's all she can do!" You are not allowed to take a piece of cloth out of my Ruchun Building! Whoever dares to give her a penny, I will cut off anyone's hand! ”

She scolded again: "Don't leave yet!" What are you afraid of? Are there still few men who have seen your body? When I made a mistake in front of me, I was not afraid of heaven and earth, but now I have grown shame! ”
