Chapter 128: Chains
The story is long.
But Bao Yuan understated it, and slowly and leisurely told most of the past events over the years.
She lived well after marrying a distant relative's family of the concubine.
It's just that the newlywed Yan'er, when she was in love, her husband suddenly got seriously ill, and the course of the disease started quickly, from the onset of the disease to the death, it was only a dozen days. At that time, it was only about two months after she got married.
Her mother-in-law is very good, gentle and polite. When she was holding a wake for her husband, she was in a trance, only worried that she had killed her husband, and her mother-in-law did not blame her, but comforted her, saying that everyone has a life.
Bao Yuan was moved - Niang Niang really chose an excellent family for her.
She originally wanted to serve the old man for the rest of her life, but she never thought that her mother's family would find her at this time. Especially her younger brother, he refused to let Bao Yuan continue to be widowed in this family.
Only if she remarries can she receive another bride price.
The mother-in-law couldn't bear it and didn't agree to let the treasure duck go, but the old man was soft-natured, and even if he took advantage of this, he didn't want to make trouble to the point of going to court.
On the contrary, the mother's family made trouble day and night, grinding day and night, splashing endless fecal red paint, and unclear kitchen waste filth, which finally made the family sick.
Bao Yuan couldn't bear to see this family suffer the pain of losing their son, and bear the unjustified disaster brought by herself, so she agreed to go home and remarry.
Shortly thereafter, she found out she was pregnant, and she carefully concealed that she had spent the first four monthsβjust as it was winter again, and she wore thick clothes and continued to work every day.
By the time the family finally found her home, the thoughts in her stomach were nearly six months old, and she was already a human life, and she could no longer use medicine.
So the new marriage was yellow, and she was able to give birth to her husband's child.
Bao Yuan said this, and paused for a long, long time.
There were some things she hadn't said, but Bai Ling could guess.
How would a family that regarded their daughter as a business suddenly turn yellow?
Since Bao Yuan is unwilling to mention it, then don't mention it.
"And that's it?" Bai Ling asked.
Bao Yuan nodded.
"He wanted to sell me, but it's against the law." Bao Yuan said coldly, "I specifically asked my master about my situation, especially in the past few years, the homeless people have been in turmoil, and the yamen has cracked down on human trafficking." If I do get into the kiln, he's going to have to go to prison. He himself took up a temporary post in the yamen and knew how powerful it was. β
ββ¦β¦ Which yamen is it? β
"Jingzhao Yin Yamen." Bao Yuan said softly, "He took his father's position, and he went to the yamen every day to order a mao and left, and he didn't have a proper ...... all day long."
Bai Ling's heart suddenly settled down a little, "What kind of job?" β
"Let's do it." Bao Yuan replied, "The people in the yamen also know his virtues, and I have been there once before, begging them to change the rules of pay, and not to give him all the money again." Give a little money day by day, lest he take it for big gambles......"
"They are willing to discuss it like this?"
"There's no way." Bao Yuan sighed, "Who can control him?" The person who paid him happened to be his father's old friend, and it was also because of this level that he gave me accommodation, otherwise the family would not be able to open the pot, and they would come to collect debts every day......"
"Sister Bao Yuan, is she working outside every day now?"
"Yes, otherwise what will I do to buy rice for the pot," Bao Yuan smiled, "Originally, living in Baihuaya and doing long-term work can save more, but Niannian is still young, I always have to take her by my side, I am afraid that if I stay in it for a long time, she will learn badly." β
When the two were chatting, Nian Nian had been curled up on Bao Yuan's lap, and when he heard his name, he immediately raised his head, "Nian Nian will be well-behaved." β
"Well," Bao Yuan lowered her head and ruffled her daughter's hair, "Nian Nian is the most well-behaved." β
Bai Ling sighed and looked up at the rain curtain outside.
"It's all this time, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"I don't go home in the middle of the night every day...... He won't come back until he spends all the money on him. Bao Yuan said softly, "I don't have an umbrella at home, and I can't borrow you, so you can go back when the rain is light in a while...... Will there be delays? β
"No delay." Bai Ling smiled, "Lan Zihao spent 50,000 taels on me, and now they are pointing to me to earn back their capital, and they are still very tolerant of me." β
Bao Yuan's eyes revealed a bit of sympathy.
She wanted to speak several times, but she couldn't say anything, and finally said, "Don't let people send those silver taels again, and let him use them for gambling money...... Save it yourself, and find a way to redeem yourself later. β
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.
For Bao Yuan, more than a dozen yuan can be spent on the same day, which is a full stomach that can solve the urgent need; But a dozen taels of silver can't be spent, and if you stay by your side, you won't be able to get anything good.
"If there is such a fuss tonight, he will definitely know about it tomorrow," Bao Yuan thought for a while, "If he comes to the door and asks you for silver, you must not give it, do you hear?" β
"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded, "I'll thenβ"
"Anyway, I'm good, I'm good." Bao Yuan looked at Bai Ling, "It's a little harder, but I can eat enough, I have a place to live, and it will slowly get better in the future, don't worry about me." β
Bai Ling was speechless for a moment, and she looked at the four-walled house.
Is that good?
"Oh, I forgot that there was soup sitting on the stove......" Bao Yuan stood up suddenly, and she said with a smile, "Have you eaten it?" β
Bai Ling hurriedly shook his head, "I've eaten it all, so I don't need to prepare my portion." β
Bao Yuan laughed, "I'm not polite to you, don't blame me for picking, I can't take it out even if I want to prepare......"
Both laughed.
Bai Ling stood up, lifted the curtain and followed.
Nian Nian also followed Bao Yuan to help, and the little man held the empty bowl, waiting for Bao Yuan to scoop the vegetable soup into the notched clay bowl.
This kind of vegetable soup is also very familiar to Bai Ling.
There were no extra stools in the room, so Bao Yuan and Nian Nian sat directly on the ground and used the wooden box they picked up as a low table.
Bai Ling stood aside against the wall, looking at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but shout "Sister Baoyuan" again.
Bao Yuan looked up at her.
Bai Ling said softly, "Have you thought about reconciliation?" β
ββ¦β¦ What the? β
"And away. The silver can be stored with me first," Bai Ling looked at Bao Yuan, "and after leaving, I will ask someone to set up a better room outside, and you can take it with you." β
"......" Bao Yuan did not answer for a while.
"I don't mean to redeem my body with money, and I don't say whether my body can be redeemed with money, even if I can, the three or fifty taels of silver is a drop in the bucket, useless." "But if you take it, you'll be able toβ"
Bao Yuan smiled, his expression slightly stiff.
"Forget it." She said softly.
"Why?" Bai Ling frowned, "It's better to live alone than-"
"What if one is worse?" Bao Yuan held the bowl and said softly, "Although this is a good bet...... But I was able to stop my brother. β
