The country roads of the 80s were completely dirt roads.

It rained for half a day, and after pedestrians came and went, the dirt road became a mud road, and there was no way to ride a bicycle.

Song Qingtian and Song Xifeng left their bikes at the Yuhua clothing store and walked home.

On the way, the two talked about the liquor market research done by Song Xifeng.

Song Xifeng said: "There is no one in Sanchuan Town who sells this kind of liquor, and the taste of the liquor they sell is not as pure as Laobaigan. ”

"Well, quality comes first, and with quality assurance, we're much better. And what about the price? ”

"The price of those liquors is basically one dollar per catty, and the price of Lao Baigan given to us by Brother Lu is one dollar, and the price is a bit high."

"I'm not afraid of this, as long as the quality is good, I have a way."

"Sunny, what can you do?"

"The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and we have to do publicity. By the way, after you have done 50 market research reports, you will sort out your research reports, list a data table for me to see, and then we will discuss the plan. ”

Song Xifeng chatted, while going to take the market research form he made, and took a look at it and found that 50 copies were almost two copies completed.

Song Qingtian didn't expect Song Xifeng to endure hardships like this, and the speed was so fast, he praised it, so he asked Song Xifeng to make a data table that night, and the faster he did, the sooner he could start Lao Baigan's sales schedule.

When she got home, Yang Xiulian asked her daughter how she went to school and came back one day.

Song Qingtian didn't say anything about his burns, he said that he wanted to sell liquor, so he asked for leave again.

Yang Xiulian was a little worried and said: "You are fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, what can you do?" ”

Song Qingtian told Yang Xiulian about her school test results, Yang Xiulian cried with joy, and after the three confirmations, she held Song Qingtian in her arms and kept saying: "Nizi, you are really angry, you are really angry." ”

Yang Xiulian specially made pancakes for Song Qingtian and boiled two eggs to celebrate her daughter's good results.

During the meal, Yang Xiulian said: "Yang Long came to you today, it seems that there is something, and he didn't say anything when I asked him." ”

What can Yang Long do to find her? Song Qingtian couldn't figure it out.

After eating, it was dark, and there was a quick knock at the door.

Yang Xiulian opened the door and saw that it was Yang Long again.

Yang Long asked anxiously: "Aunt, did you come back on a sunny day?" ”

"Where's at home?" Yang Xiulian replied and welcomed Yang Long in.

"Brother Yang Long, what's the matter with you?" Looking at Yang Long's anxious look, Song Qingtian stood up and asked.

"Sunny day, I thought you were still in school, just went to the school to look for you, who knew that the teacher said that you asked for leave, I still didn't believe it, so I rushed back from school, I didn't expect you to be really at home, God bless."

Song Qingtian was confused, "Brother Yang Long, what's the matter?" Why are you in such a hurry to find me? ”

Yang Long didn't speak, but sat on the stool with his head bowed.

Song Qingtian didn't understand even more, you ran to school in a hurry, and ran to the house twice to find me, now that I'm at home, why don't you talk again?

Yang Xiulian asked softly: "Yang Long, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly, it's not too early this day, and I have to rest with Qingtian after speaking." ”

When Yang Long saw Yang Xiulian urging, he plucked up the courage and said, "Aunt, I want to give my eldest brother a daughter-in-law." ”

Yang Xiulian thought about it, bit her lip and said, "You mean Yang Hu?" He ......"

Song Qingtian looked at Yang Xiulian's face and words, and suspected that there might be something wrong with this Yang Hu.

Yang Long explained to Song Qingtian: "When my brother was 20 years old, for the livelihood of our family, he stole the detonator of the production team to go to the Yang River to fry fish. Now that life is a little better, I want to find a daughter-in-law for my brother. ”

"But your brother's age? What can I look for? Yang Xiulian was reluctant to say this directly, but she had to say it.

Yang Long said: "My brother is indeed old, a man in his forties, and he doesn't have an arm, it's not easy to say that his daughter-in-law is not good, I also know this, now I finally have a chance, but ......"

Opportunity? What chances?

Song Qingtian was very curious, could this Yang Long come to borrow money?

Yang Long hesitated for a while before saying, "I want to find a favor from Qingtian and let him collect the bride price cheaper." ”

Song Qingtian was even more curious, "Brother Yang Long, I didn't understand what you said, I know the Nizi family who is going to marry your brother?" Or do I know that Niko? ”

"You don't know that Niko's family, and you don't know that Niko."

"Brother Yang Long, the more you talk about me, the more confused I become, I don't know anyone, how can I help you talk about the bride price?"

"But do you know the person who received the bride price, and that person still owes you money?"

Song Qingtian's brain gurgled a few times, do you know the person who receives the bride price? He still owes me money?

Could it be that Song Dongmei is being said?

I lent my grandfather 150 yuan to let my fourth uncle study, although Song Dongmei is a little worse, but she is a yellow flower girl, only 17 years old, how can she marry an old man in his 40s without arms.

It's not right to think about it, Yang Long said that he didn't know Na Nizi, and he didn't know Na Nizi's family.

Seeing that Song Qingtian was distracted, Yang Long was worried that she would not agree, and said: "Qingtian, you help me this time, you go and talk to Song Nanfeng and ask him for a little less bride price." ”

Song Nanfeng? Yang Xiulian and Song Qingtian looked at each other the same, who in their family wanted to marry Yang Long's brother?

Song Qingtian asked eagerly, "My second uncle?" Who does my second uncle receive as a bride price? What relatives does he have who want to marry your eldest brother? ”

"That girl is not a relative of your second uncle, but actually ......"

The more embarrassed Yang Long became, the more anxious Song Qingtian became, and suddenly she remembered what Lin Qiaoxiang said, and Song Nanfeng led a strange woman into the house.

Later, Mrs. Song went to Song Nanfeng's house to see it, and she didn't say anything, and she didn't let others tell me about it.

Why is it so secretive? What Yang Long said is so unfavorable, there must be a problem in it, what is the problem?

Strange woman? Confidentiality of information? Marrying an old man with a broken arm? The bride price was not received by the woman's relatives and family, but by the second uncle Song Nanfeng.

Song Qingtian suddenly realized that the second uncle Song Nanfeng must have abducted 1 and sold a woman, and then prepared to sell it to Yang Long's eldest brother.

"Brother Yang Long, you tell the truth, is it my second uncle who abducted 1 and sold human beings? Sell to your eldest brother as a wife? ”

Song Qingtian asked Yang Long in order to confirm, Yang Long nodded, and said in his heart, Qingtian is really smart, she guessed it so quickly.

Abduction and trafficking in human beings, this kind of thing was a lot in the 80s, especially in the rural areas, and the singles who couldn't talk about their daughters-in-law would spend some money to buy a daughter-in-law from one person and one son, and it was profitable for one person to sell one child, so they would abduct and sell women from Sichuan, Shanxi, and Yunnan and sell them to the village.

Song Qingtian didn't expect the second uncle to do such a thing.

I remember in my previous life, CCTV had a program called "Waiting for Me", which was dedicated to telling the story of those who were abducted and sold by 1 person to find a family, Song Qingtian watched several episodes, and each episode was from the beginning to the end, and he felt uncomfortable for a long time after that.

The people who were abducted and trafficked, whether women or children, were basically raising their families and suffering inhuman treatment, Song Qingtian hated this kind of thing very much, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen in front of him.

Song Qingtian said solemnly: "Brother Yang Long, since you came to me, I might as well make it clear, I won't lend you money, and I won't ask my second uncle to tell you the money for the bride price." You are asking me to participate in the abduction of 1 human trafficking, three, I will also dissuade you from buying a wife for your brother, this is a crime, a good girl, there is a father and mother who hurt, why do you want to be your brother's daughter-in-law? Would the girl be willing? If you think that this girl who was sold is your relative, what would you think? Would you want to kill that person 1 and 1 man? ”

Song Qingtian showed no mercy, every word was bloody, and Yang Long's head was about to be lowered to the ground.

Yang Xiulian persuaded Song Qingtian: "Don't talk too much, I don't think Yang Long doesn't understand this, you see that he was embarrassed to say it just now, I think there must be other reasons." ”

Yang Long shouted with tears in his eyes, "Actually, I also know that it is illegal, and I am also against it, but my mother, she is old and her eyes are not good, and she always feels guilty about my brother's broken arm, so she wants my brother to find a daughter-in-law, so she forced me to buy a daughter-in-law for my brother from 1 person and 1 son." ”

Song Qingtian sighed, "Brother Yang Long, I understand you, but you have to understand, as long as your brother is willing to work hard and be down-to-earth, what if you have one less arm?" can earn money to support the family, and can not talk about a daughter-in-law. ”

Yang Long thought about it, Song Qingtian was right, since his brother Yang Hu didn't have an arm, he was depressed, lazy, and lived in a mess for all these years, reciting all day long that he wanted to marry a daughter-in-law.

Yang Long's mother was also because the boss's arm was gone, and she couldn't talk about her daughter-in-law when she was in her forties, so she always felt sorry for Yang Hu when she heard it, so Yang Long inquired to buy a daughter-in-law for Yang Hu.

Coincidentally, they learned that there was a woman in Song Nanfeng's house, who was brought by 1 dealer and 1 child, and was looking for a buyer, and his brother Yang Hu went to Song Nanfeng's house to see the woman, and he was very satisfied, so he asked Yang Long to pool the money to buy the woman.

Who knows, the price of the bride price that Song Nanfeng asked for was too high, people only needed a few hundred yuan to buy a daughter-in-law, and Song Nanfeng asked for 1,000 yuan when he opened his mouth.

Yang Hu took a fancy to that woman and had to buy it, but Song Nanfeng didn't let go of the price.

Yang Long couldn't come up with that much money for a while.

Later, when the Yang family heard that Song Nanfeng had borrowed Song Qingtian's money, Yang Long thought that Song Nanfeng had borrowed Song Qingtian's money, and he would definitely listen to Song Qingtian's words, so he wanted Song Qingtian to tell Song Nanfeng about the price.

Yang Long learned Song Qingtian's thoughts, and after being educated again, he suddenly came to his senses, "Qingtian, I understand, I'll go back and tell my brother and my mother to let them dispel this idea." ”

Song Qingtian waved his hand and said, "It's definitely useless for you to go back and say, if you really want to prevent your brother from breaking the law and not letting that girl be wronged, you have to listen to me." ”

"Sunny, what can you do?"

"Call the police, you go to the police station in the town to report the case now, and let the police station come and rescue the girl. That way, your family won't be persecuting you. ”

Yang Long was silent for a moment and shook his head, "If I do this, my mother and my brother will hate me to death." ”

"If you don't go to the police, I'll go to the police, saying that your mother and your brother bought someone else's girl as a daughter-in-law, and you want your mother and your brother to hate you? Or do you want them to go to jail? ”

Yang Xiulian pulled Song Qingtian, "Nizi, 1 person sells 1 son, but your second uncle, isn't your second uncle going to prison if you are like this?" ”

Song Qingtian said: "It's good to be innocent, since the second uncle has such a crooked and bad idea, he should be punished, and someone else's daughter is not a daughter?" Mom, think about it, if the person who was abducted and sold was me, would you call the police as soon as possible? ”

Yang Xiulian suddenly had nothing to say.

Yang Long lowered his head and didn't speak.

The air in the room fell into infinite silence.

Song Qingtian thought about it, was it a bit too extreme to let Yang Long go to the police to cook?

If Song Nanfeng is arrested and imprisoned, leaving Sun Guiying and the three children, life will not be easy, and Sun Guiying will take his hatred out of himself again, and Song Qingtian will not be at ease in his life.

Is there another way to get the best of both worlds?

Song Qingtian thought about it again, the second uncle Song Nanfeng has been at home recently, and he has no time to go to other places at all, how could he have a woman who was abducted and sold in his hands?

There are two possibilities.

First, the 1 trafficker and the second uncle partnered to abduct and sell 1 person, the 1 trafficker and 1 son were responsible for abducting and selling, and the second uncle was responsible for finding a family.

In the second type, the person 1 trafficker sells the abducted woman to the second uncle, and the second uncle sells the woman as the second dealer.

Song Qingtian prefers the first option, because the second uncle Song Nanfeng has no money to be a second-tier dealer.

If this is the case, persuade the second uncle to take the initiative to surrender and expose the criminal behavior of the person who sold 1 child and 1 child, so that the second uncle can reduce his responsibility by making meritorious contributions.

After a choice between law and human feelings, Song Qingtian decided to persuade the second uncle.

She is just a teenage girl now, and the second uncle will definitely not listen to it, so it seems that she can only go to the third uncle for help.
