Chapter 12: Eccentric Eyes

She thought that in her original world, she was very likely to occupy the news headlines, "Urban white-collar workers died suddenly after continuous overtime", and then no one would remember her again.

Fortunately, the Jia family only has one daughter, if there is another son...... Sister Qiu's little head shrank into the quilt, she really didn't dare to be sure of her fate.

"Why don't you sleep yet?" Jia Shi raised his eyes and saw that Sister Qiu hadn't slept yet, and asked with a smile, "But you can't sleep?" ”

Sister Qiu looked at Jia Shi, who had a yellow and thin face and a protruding skull, and really couldn't get in touch with Yi's mother, who had been maintained in her previous life, shook her head and said, "I'm not sleepy, I can't sleep, mother, you can sleep with me." ”

Only in his own room, facing his daughter, Jia's face will smile a little more, look at the girl looking at herself, Jia hurriedly put down the soles of her shoes, quickly took off her jacket, and also got into the nest, and lay down with Sister Qiu in her arms.

There were too many things that happened this morning, Jia's mind was chaotic, and he couldn't sleep for a while, patting Sister Qiu's back, Jia's smiled and said: "As soon as you go back to the city, you will be like a different person, you were not so bold to talk back to your second aunt and your milk before, who taught you?" ”

Sister Qiu smiled, "Mother, I sold it once, and I figured it out, if people are cowardly, they are no different from those grass pigs and chickens in the market, they can only be sold to others, and people have to be tough, so they can be their own masters and their own homes." ”

When Jia Shi was frightened, her heart ached, and she said: "You can rest assured, if Lu Ya Dealer comes to recommend you to go again, let's beg your milk and don't go." ”

"Mother, Lu Ya sent me back, not because the Wang family was rough enough to recruit Yahuan." Sister Qiu thought about it, and decided to give Jia Shi a reason, and said softly: "I came home for the young master of the Wang family, and no one in the city is willing to ask me to be a rough maid." If you send me out to make money again, I'm afraid you can only sell me to other places. ”

Jia Shi patted Sister Qiu's back in surprise and stayed in mid-air for a long time, Sister Qiu looked at Jia with a pair of black and white eyes, she sinned against the little young master of the Wang family in the city, Lu Ya Dealer will not recommend her to work again, if she wants to go out to be a maid to make money, she can only sell it to other places.

"The Lyrcon is a good man." After a long time, Jia Shi simmered and preached, patted Sister Qiu's back again, and whispered: "Don't tell your milk about this matter, it's going to rot in your stomach, understand?" ”

Although the Mao family doesn't plan to sell Sister Qiu, if she knows that Sister Qiu is brought back, she will have to make a big deal.

Sister Qiu nodded, "I know, so I'll tell my mother." Thinking about the noon incident again, Sister Qiu said: "Mother, you also saw when you ate noodles at noon, the second uncle and the second aunt still want to sell me, the big cow is very stupid every day, where did he think about selling me to pay off the debt to buy him fine noodles and dry food, it must have been taught by the second uncle and the second aunt, and he used the mouth of the big cow to tell the words." ”

"Don't be afraid." Jia Shi was relieved, "Your milk is not confused, you can also see, she didn't say anything." ”

Sister Qiu didn't say a word, although she didn't know Mao's idea was to decide whether to sell her based on the current summer grain harvest, but the attitude of her second uncle and aunt made her feel a ray of vigilance in her heart.

"Mother, I mentioned my father a few words today, and my grandmother couldn't bear to sell me, and she still remembered her father's love, and the father she remembered was her son. But my father is gone, the dead don't matter if the living don't matter, the uncle is studying, and the second uncle gave birth to two grandchildren, if the family is in trouble again, she will hear the words of the second uncle and sell me for money! Sister Qiu said softly.

Mei Xiucai is already dead, and the life of the family has to go on, the second uncle's family is not happy to take on debts, and the uncle has to spend a lot of money to study, when these practical problems are put in front of the Mao family one by one, for her son and grandson, Mao, as the head of the family, will definitely not care about the dead people.

Jia's eyes were confused, "This ...... No, you twin...... You can't ...... it, she can't go on, Mao did have the idea of selling Sister Qiu once, but it was her difficult struggle to fight once, and she didn't sell Sister Qiu with her life, and it's really hard to say what will happen in the future.

Sister Qiu sighed in her heart, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her future was bleak, in ancient times, the pastoral scenery was good, the environment was good, but the life was not good, the most important thing was that even the most basic personal qualifications were not guaranteed, if she sank into slavery, she was afraid that this life would be over, and she couldn't help living or dying.

She urinated and followed her father to make and sell water tofu, even when she first arrived here, she was not much afraid, she had arms and legs, and she had the skills to make bean food, she believed that she could take Jia to live a good life wherever she went. But the premise of all this is that she is an independent person, if she becomes a slave who is sold as a slave, and she can be beaten to death or resold if she says a wrong word, it is impossible to talk about everything.

If Jia's temper is a little stronger, more vulgar, and a little more unreasonable, she doesn't have to be so worried and afraid, after all, Jia is her mother, when her mother doesn't agree, can her grandmother and second uncle get past her mother? But Jia didn't give birth to a son, the inferiority complex and depression accumulated over the years made her sensitive and cowardly, she was used to listening to the words of the Mei family, even if life was a huge injustice to her, she also quietly touched and endured, only to feel that this was the price that should be paid for not giving birth to a son.

Mao is also accustomed to ignoring Jia's opinions, she doesn't treat Jia's as a person at all, Jia's is just a slave who works in her eyes, and she only needs to give a bite to eat. When a master sells a slave's daughter, does he need to seek the slave's opinion?

"Milk man, what can't she do?" Sister Qiu spoke close to Jia's ear, and her voice was also full of horror, "Mother, what do you think, my milk is going to sell me, it will definitely not be like this time, she wants to sell it for more money, and she will definitely not sell me to any good place." ”

Jia Shi was completely panicked, the palms of the hands holding Sister Qiu all trembled, tears slipped from the circles of her eyes, and fell on the pillow made of rags, she suddenly thought that her daughter was still so young, and she was terrified in her heart, she was a mother, she couldn't be afraid and cry again, didn't she want her daughter to be even more afraid.

"Don't be afraid." Jia gritted her teeth and said, "If she dares to betray you, my mother will go to Lizheng's house and kneel at the door, begging him to preside over justice, and my mother will also go to your aunt's house in Liulou to kneel, begging your aunt and grandma to come forward, your aunt is a person who understands." Sister Qiu, you can rest assured, your mother will watch you all her life, if you can't protect you, your mother will die with you, not cheap them! ”

If Sister Qiu has something, she doesn't want to live anymore, this life is too hard, if it weren't for the heart of Sister Qiu, she would have jumped into the river at the entrance of the village, a hundred, the Bodhisattva looked at the hardships she had in this life, and promised to give her a good birth in the next life.

Sister Qiu's face was buried in Jia's weak shoulders, her nose was sour, and tears couldn't help but fall, she thought, Jia's is so cowardly, such a submissive person all dares to fight to the death for her daughter, although Sister Qiu was unfortunately born in such a family, fortunately she still has a mother who is dedicated to her. Sister Qiu thought about her mother in her previous life, if she hadn't been so partial to her son and guarded against her daughter, she would not have worked desperately for a breath, resulting in her death at a young age.

Now think about it, it is ridiculous and pathetic to be alone, in order to look at the mother of the eccentric child, she worked desperately, why bother, she died once, she also figured it out, life is nothing more than a few decades, it is natural to cherish the time, to try to love their own people, as for those who do not have her in their eyes, there is no need to take them too seriously.

"Yes." Sister Qiu responded in a thick nasal voice, "I am not separated from my mother." At this point, she really realized that she was Sister Meiqiu, the little sister of the farmer.

Sister Qiu thought about Mao's scolding of Jia's family, but she inadvertently scolded her for being crooked, wanting to go to the second house, scolding so ruthlessly and so ugly, in the final analysis, she was afraid that Jia's would remarry. Sister Qiu is the granddaughter of the Mei family and can't leave, but the Jia family is dead, and she can remarry after a year of filial piety, but the Mei family can't stop her. Without Jia's family, there is one less laborer in the family who can support half of the sky, and I hope that Aunt Mei's second aunt will do the work, but it is better to hope that money will fall from the sky.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Jia Shi comforted Sister Qiu, and her tears couldn't stop falling, but she didn't dare to let her daughter look at it.

Sister Qiu took a few deep breaths, and then gradually calmed down the surging emotions in her heart, and suddenly thought about a practical question, and asked: "Mother, how much do we owe to others to do things for my father?" ”

Jia Shi didn't expect her daughter to suddenly ask about this, and a burst of relief swelled in her heart, her daughter was older, and she knew that she was worried about things at home, so she concentrated on telling Sister Qiu about it, these debts she remembered clearly, and all of them flashed in her mind countless times every day, she was an honest person, and she always felt uneasy when she owed money to others, "I owe a total of five taels and one hanging, there are two taels of silver from the Lizheng family, one or two silver coins from your Guotaobo family, one or two silver coins from your Furong sister-in-law's family, and two taels of money from your Zhongtang uncle's family......"

Sister Qiu, no matter how lonely her father is, is also a showman, and she can't do anything in vain, except for the gift money she received, she still owes a lot of debt. There are no rich people in Xiaohe Town, so they borrowed a lot of money, and in the eyes of the honest and honest Jia family, borrowing money is a small matter, and it is the most difficult to repay the debt owed to others.

For the penniless Sister Qiu and Jia's family, it is really a huge debt, and the two of them can only farm and work, and for the country women who have no private house, they really don't know how to repay these money.
