Chapter 14: Xiucai and his wife are rescued
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Who wants to sell their daughters? ”
Liu, who was washing clothes in his yard, heard that someone was going to sell his daughter, and immediately hurried from home to see the excitement.
Shen Yuerong looked at the person, and it was still Grandma Liu next door, and she immediately looked soft and weak, crying with a sad face, and squeezed out two tears of tears.
"Grandma Liu, save me!"
Shen Yuerong grabbed Wang Liu's clothes with a frightened expression.
"My mother came to steal my money yesterday and didn't steal it, so she was angry. Called my grandma today and said she was going to sell me! Woo~"
Liu suddenly remembered the note yesterday, so it was, how could this Lin Muqiu become more and more excessive.
She lives next door, and the two families are separated by a wall, and she often hears Lin Muqiu scolding Shen Yuerong loudly and instructing Shen Yuerong to work.
But after all, this is someone's family matter, she reminded Shen Dashan in and out of her words, and Shen Dashan doesn't take it seriously, so it's not good for her to say anything more.
Today is different, Lin Muqiu actually wants to sell her daughter, won't this ruin the child's life? This is no small matter.
Liu, who was flustered for a while, shouted loudly into his yard: "Daddy, daddy, come to Shen Dashan's yard, something is wrong!" ”
Wang Xiucai heard his wife yelling, and only sighed in his heart that this village woman was so shouting, it was really indecent.
This Liu Shi entered the door a few years after he won the show, Liu followed himself to recognize the words, but there is no temperament and consciousness of a scholar at all.
Fortunately, the person is good, although he is gossipy, but he is also really enthusiastic, bold and generous.
Wang Xiucai arrived at Shen Dashan's courtyard, only to see Shen Yuerong hiding behind Liu with a sad face, and there were two fierce fat women standing in front of him, one holding a bamboo stick in his hand and the other holding a broom.
When Liu saw Xiucai coming, he made up his mind: "His father, Shen Dashan's family wants to sell his daughter." Now that Shen Dashan is not at home, we as neighbors can't ignore this poor girl. ”
The mother and daughter of the queen mother saw that the Xiucai next door was also recruited, and there were only a few Xiucai in ten miles and eight towns, and Wang Xiucai's prestige was still very high.
If Wang Xiucai said something to Shen Dashan, Shen Dashan would definitely believe it.
I went back and spread the news again, saying that their mother and daughter had sold their children, and how would they behave in the village in the future.
Or the old woman reacted quickly, after all, she lived for decades more, she said with a smile: "Old Xiucai, how can this girl be selling nonsense?" We just want to make her a good family. ”
Lin Muqiu heard her mother's words and immediately echoed: "That's right, our family is already fourteen years old, if we don't pick a good family for her, the good people will be picked by others, and others will be left to pick her." How can this be sold? ”
The old woman cleared her throat and said: "I just picked a good family to come over and choose this girl today, old Xiucai, you don't know, although I am her grandmother, but her mother is also my niece." I really broke my leg for this child to get a good marriage, but I didn't expect this girl to say that I sold her, it's really sad! ”
Lin Muqiu immediately added: "That's right, although I am a stepmother, I have to do my best, I can't get married when I turn around, and others poke me in the backbone and say that I don't care if my stepdaughter lives or dies." ”
Shen Yuerong really couldn't stand it, after that, the mother and daughter sang and harmonized more and more, and if they continued to act, they should say that they were sent by God to save their own virgins.
"Grandpa Wang, Grandma Liu, they got me a candidate. One is a lazy Liu cripple in the next village, and the other is a fifty-year-old Zhao landlord in the town. Woo~"
After listening to Shen Yuerong's crying, Wang Xiucai's face turned blue with anger: "This girl who is good at hands and feet and is not blind or lame, why do you want to marry these crooked melons and cracked dates?" What are you guys not selling? ”
Lin Muqiu's mother and daughter were beaten by Wang Xiucai, and the resentment in their hearts became heavier, and they stared at Shen Yuerong leisurely.
The old woman smiled stupidly: "Don't be angry, I came in a hurry, I didn't choose a good candidate, next time I chose a good one." ”
Lin Muqiu's face was red with anger, and his eyes were full of cannibalism: "That's it, if the candidate doesn't work, then change it, how can you wrongfully accuse us of selling people!" ”
Shen Yuerong saw that the mother and daughter of the queen mother were in awe of Wang Xiucai, she stood up, pointed at the mother and daughter of the queen mother, and continued to cry to Xiucai: "Grandpa Wang, it's not what they said, they forced me to choose one of these two." I really didn't want to choose, so they took the tools and tried to kill me! ”
When Lin Muqiu's mother and daughter heard Shen Yuerong's words, they hurriedly hid the bamboo strips and brooms behind them and denied it: "No, no, this girl is talking nonsense." ”
"Grandpa Wang, my brother was also next to me just now, you can ask my brother!"
Shen Yuerong pointed a slender finger at his younger brother who was still hiding next to the table and shivering.
Shen Nianhua heard her sister say that she immediately ran out of the hall and stood beside Grandpa Xiucai.
He raised his head and looked at Xiucai with aggrieved eyes: "Grandpa Wang, what my sister said is true, I am afraid to hide under the table!" ”
Wang Xiucai and his wife looked at the poor sister and brother, and then looked at the short and fat mother and daughter who looked like a water tank, and they were angry!
The gap between Lin Muqiu and Lin Muchun is too big, Lin Muqiu is a complete shrew, even her mother.
"Dad, I can't believe these two people, if we leave, this girl will be beaten."
Wang Liu looked at Lin Muqiu's mother and daughter indignantly.
"Why don't you let the two children hide from our house first, and wait for Shen Dashan to come back."
Lin Muqiu wanted to stop him, but he was glared at by Wang Xiu's eyes, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
Wang Xiucai nodded in agreement, and the sister and brother followed Xiucai and his wife to the courtyard next door.
The pattern of Wang Xiucai's family is similar to that of Shen Dashan's family.
They are all four rooms, the only difference is that Wang Xiucai's house is inhabited by their couple.
The hut was uninhabited, and Wang Xiucai made it into a study.
Wang Xiucai's yard was kept clean and tidy by Grandma Liu, and there were some flowers and plants on the side of the courtyard wall, which looked quite meaningful.
There is also a large wooden basin in the courtyard, and in the wooden basin are the clothes that Wang Liu has not finished washing just now.
Liu planned to continue to do the laundry, and let Wang Xiucai take the child to the hut to rest.
As soon as Shen Yuerong entered Wang Xiucai's study, a strong scent of ink came to her nose.
I saw that the books on the walls of the hall were neatly stacked on the shelves, and there was a table in the middle, which should be the place where Xiucai usually reads and writes.
There was a pot of tea, a fan, and a book on the table.
Shen Yuerong was instantly attracted, and couldn't help but pick up a book on the bookshelf and flip through it.
Wang Xiucai saw Shen Yuerong reading his book, and remembered the note that Lin Muqiu brought over yesterday.
Although the note was written in carbon gray, the font was delicate and smooth, like the words of a reader.
"Shen girl, can you understand these books?"
