Chapter 8: Reversing Life
At dawn the next day, the rain continued to rain and the sky was overcast.
Outside the village chief's house, a middle-aged man stumbled, wrapped in a robe, fell a few times and got up, and finally knocked on the door of the village chief's house.
Village Chief Miao had just gotten up when he heard the knock on the door and hurriedly said, "Who! It's coming, it's coming! ”
The door creaked open, and the village chief Miao was stunned: "Tan boy, why are you here!" ”
Tan Dabao said anxiously: "Yesterday, the little girl lost the news in the middle of the night, a man who claimed to be a little girl, said that my eldest girl is here in your house!" ”
Suddenly, lightning and thunder thundered in the sky, and a lightning bolt clicked by, which frightened people.
Village Chief Miao hesitated for a moment: "Hurry up and go into the house and say!" ”
In the west wing of the Miao village chief's house.
The sky outside the window was already bright, Qing Yao opened her eyes in a daze, and glanced at the baby who had an extra head in the quilt last night, covered with bruises and bruises, and was abused.
Qing Yao sighed sadly: "Sisi got up!" ”
Tan Sisi said in a hazy sleep: "Madame, don't pick me up! ”
Qing Yao raised her hand and rubbed her temples, her head felt a little painful: "I just let you sleep with Cui'er last night, not to drive you away!" ”
Tan Sisi: "I'm not going, Sister Cui'er is so fierce!" ”
Cui'er entered the house with the washing water, glared at her listening to Tan Sisi's words, gently put the washbasin on the washing shelf, and turned to change the clothes for his wife.
Qing Yao smiled bitterly: "Why are the left three layers of this dress and the right two layers so difficult to wear, if it is summer, it must not be hot to death!" ”
Cui'er smiled and said, "Summer is all tulle!" ”
Tan Sisi stood uncomfortably to the side after getting up, helpless.
Qing Yao: "What's wrong with Sisi!" ”
Tan Sisi lowered her head and walked in front of Qing Yao in small steps, and her voice was choked: "I'm homesick, I'm afraid of being beaten!" ”
Qing Yao: "Sisi is not afraid that no one will dare to beat you when I am here!" ”
Tan Si cried as he thought of his past grievances.
Qing Yao: "Don't cry! ”
Cui'er was putting on a coat for her master, but she said angrily: "Master, yesterday, the child's father didn't come out to look for the child!" ”
Qing Yao: "Heavy rain, maybe I thought the child went to bed early, by the way, the child hadn't eaten last night, so I was embarrassed to disturb the main family, so I went out to buy some pastries and kept them hungry in the middle of the night!" ”
Cui'er: "The main family's meal is ready, let's eat first!" ”
Qing Yao looked aggrieved: "The food at the village chief's house is too unpalatable!" ”
Cui'er said distressedly: "The master has been wronged! ”
As the master and servant were talking, Xiao Quanzi came to report: "Master! Tan Dabao is here! ”
The little girl's face turned pale and tears were sweet, and her eyes were dark and blue standing beside Qing Yao, Tan Dabao learned that the village chief's house had a distinguished guest and stepped into the house, and said respectfully: "The villain has seen Madame!" ”
Qing Yao's face turned pale when she saw Sisi: "Don't be afraid that your sister is here, little girl!" ”
Tan Sisi stood still, his expression was uncertain, and he twisted with three points.
Tan Dabao's eyes didn't dare to wander around: "The little girl disturbed Madame, and the villain will take her back!" ”
Tan Sisi hurriedly hid behind Qing Yao, looking pitiful.
Qing Yao: "I like this child very much, I heard that you have the intention to send the child to a big family as a maid, how to sign the death contract when you come to my house!" The words fell.
Cui'er took out a hundred taels of silver from her arms and put it in front of Tan Dabao.
Xiao Quanzi glanced at his master inexplicably.
Song Qingyao blinked and looked at Xiao Quanzi and said, "Sign the death deed, don't let him sell his daughter once he comes!" ”
Tan Dabao's face was heavy, and he opened his mouth and said, "Three!" "I couldn't say it anymore after a word.
Cui'er was stunned: "Selling yourself as a servant is only twenty taels for such a big child, and you want three hundred taels of silver!" ”
Tan Dabao shook his head and stumbled: "I only need thirty taels of silver!" Live Deed! ”
Qing Yao's difference: "Why are you worried about why your daughter wants to sell!" ”
Tan Dabao: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!" ”
Qing Yao listened to Tan Dabao quietly.
"Tan married his second stepwife three years after the death of his first wife, and gave birth to a son a year later, the child was born prematurely, and the money that the family could spend was spent to treat his son, and at that time, the family was poor and couldn't eat!"
Tan Sisi had tears in her eyes: "Woo, you're going to sell me for my brother!" ”
Tan Dabao sighed, I know you are wronged: "From that time on, every time before the table, your stepmother will tell you to eat less!" ”
Tan Sisi pretended to cry and said: "She always pinched me secretly!" ”
Tan Dabao's tears remained: "Your stepmother will do a few more jobs in order to feed me, so as to save your brother!" ”
Tan Sisi: "Sold me as my younger brother, I am a superfluous person!" ”
Tan Dabao: "I can't watch your brother die, the doctor said that it would be good to eat a few pairs of Tianhuang decoction, one piece of three taels of silver and ten pairs of thirty taels of silver, my father really can't help it!" ”
Qing Yao sighed: "I won't buy this child, it's sad to see your father and daughter separated!" ”
Tan Dabao plopped and knelt on the ground: "Please Mrs. buy a child, at least have a bite to eat, and follow me to starve and freeze!" ”
Qing Yao: "What kind of disease does your young son have, and will it be better if you take medicine!" ”
Tan Dabao: "A prescription prescribed by a folk doctor from afar!" ”
Qing Yao: "Give you a hundred taels of silver to take good care of the child, do you still plan to let the child go with me?" ”
Tan Dabao pounced and knelt down and hesitated for a while: "I, Tan Dabao, am willing to make cattle and horses for my wife!" ”
Xiao Quanzi looked at the man kneeling on the ground, and a sour feeling flashed in his heart, he was sent to the palace after being sold for famine at home, but I don't resent my father, do I want to starve to death at home?
Qing Yao: "The matter of silver, don't make a noise and take the child away!" ”
Tan Dabao knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his face flushed, he took the silver and took the child away, and the words of gratitude pressed on his heart.
Tan Sisi cried and followed his father, turning his head to look at Song Qingyao.
Xiao Quanzi noticed a gleam in the little girl's eyes.
Qing Yao suddenly felt a strangeness: "Xiao Quanzi, you said that we are going to do this!" ”
Cui'er: "Send someone to check and find out the truth of the matter!" ”
The chief of the guard, Kang An, found out the exact news, there is indeed such a family, and there is indeed a sick child, but Tan Sisi did go around the camp to steal eggs, fight, and be beaten, and every time he met a passing guest, or went to the county, he sold miserably for money to treat his younger brother, and the family had a very good relationship.
Qing Yao: "What a sister and brother have a deep relationship, does this seem like I was cheated of money?" The scars on this girl's body are not from her stepmother at all! ”
Cui'er: "The master follows you, the slave and maid are used to it!" ”
Qing Yao helped her forehead: "I don't regret giving money!" ”
Cui'er: "The master is kind-hearted, in the cold palace before, it was either clothes or jewelry that was deceived by someone, so in the cold palace, the slave maid gave you the clothes of the slave maid!" ”
Qing Yao secretly said that your master is stupid, and I am soft-hearted.
