When Father Shen heard this, he was furious, and slapped it on the table, shaking out a lot of dust.

"Nonsense, even if your father watches you starve to death, he can't sell his daughter!" Father Shen scolded, although people in this world are the least valuable, but his daughter is also regarded as a treasure by herself, how can she sell it to those coffins and coffins? !

Shen Xiaoyu saw that her father's attitude was so resolute, smiled, and said: "Then don't worry, I'm still so young, no one is stupid, it's useless to marry in the past, and we have to take food, let's have a good time, I will go out early tomorrow, I should be able to get more things back, it's really not good, I'll go to the city, be a maid for others, do some coolies, I can't starve to death after all!" ”

Father Shen saw his daughter like this, and his heart became even more sour, they seemed to be fathers and mothers, and they didn't seem to let their daughters enjoy it at all, but dragged it down. When he used to tie paper, the most disdainful thing was those who had muddy legs, his family was so poor, he didn't want to do that kind of work, and now he had to accept his fate.

Father Shen sighed and said, "Tomorrow, Dad will also go to the county town to find some hard work, as long as he can buy food and not starve to death." ”

Shen Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, her father finally got the hang of it, and knew that he had gone out to find a job.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and a hailstorm in autumn caused many family members to be affected, and the heavy ones were all destroyed in food, and the hard work of the year was in vain, and the light ones, just like the Shen family, the thatched house was directly smashed.

When the hail fell, Shen Xiaoyu was at home alone, and when the house leaked, she had a wooden basin on her head, and when Father Shen rushed back from the city in a hurry, Shen Xiaoyu was thin in the dilapidated house.

"Dad, are we really not going to survive the winter?" When Shen Xiaoyu asked Daddy Shen this, Daddy Shen's eyes turned red, and there was nothing more desperate than at this time.

"No, the house can be repaired and lived!" Even though this is the case, Daddy Shen doesn't want his children to be scared either.

Father Shen can't go to the city to find work after cleaning the house, and the food at home can't be eaten for a few days.

"The people in the city are rich, and they say that they want to find a daughter-in-law for their son, and give a lot of money!" An aunt said.

Another man said, "Is that so easy to go?" That's not a serious daughter-in-law, it's to be happy, the son of that family is terminally ill! ”

The aunt said: "Oh, that's really unacceptable, our customs here are scary, and it's really easy to die."

！ ”

The man was speechless: "Chongxi, if you can't rush, the girl you marry is going to be buried with you, otherwise how can the conditions be so good, no one dares to go?" "This is the custom here, otherwise in this disaster year, it is estimated that some people are willing to send their daughters over, even if they are widowed for a lifetime, they will not die of hunger.

The two of you said it one by one, and Shen Xiaoyu heard it.

She has also seen how rich people in the city are, she went to the city to buy medicine for her mother, but she has seen a big boss in the city who threw a lot of money for a cricket cage.

In the evening, Father Shen looked at his own useless rice jar, and said with an ugly face: "The price of grain in the city has also risen, and even the cornmeal has tripled...... "The hard-earned money he earned before was not enough to buy a few catties of wheat bran."

Shen Xiaoyu looked at his rice bowl and was silent.

At night, Shen Xiaoyu couldn't sleep well after tossing and turning in bed all night, thinking about it all night, and when it was dawn the next day, when Daddy Shen came to call someone, he found that his daughter was gone.

"Going up the mountain so early?" Father Shen was puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, his daughter was sensible and smart, and he didn't have to worry about it, so he continued to repair the house, and he wanted to repair the house before the first snow came, so as not to freeze the child.

Shen Xiaoyu got up before dawn, since he couldn't sleep, don't lie down, after getting up, he washed his face, re-braided his braids, and then took a cold steamed sweet potato and went out, going straight to Liaoyang City.

At dawn, the city gate also opened, and following the crowd into the city, Shen Xiaoyu looked around. She doesn't know much about Liaocheng, it's nothing more than pawnshops, pharmacies, and the rest are small streets that sell food.

"Steamed buns, hot steamed buns, steamed buns just out of the pot, one by one!"

"Soy milk big fruit, sugar cake and fried cake!"

The small traders are selling, Liaoyang City is very lively in the morning, and Shen Xiaoyu can smell the smell of wheat in the air when he walks on the street.

"Girl, have a bun? One for two, meaty! The uncle who sold the buns saw Shen Xiaoyu staring at the steaming buns in the cage drawer, so he asked.

Shen Xiaoyu shook her head with a smile, a little cramped, and then continued to walk forward, knowing that when she came to a stall selling tea eggs, she found an open space to sit and took out the overnight steamed sweet potatoes to nibble.

"It tastes good!" Shen Xiaoyu followed the scent of soy sauce, tea and eggs in the air.

The sweet potato was put away by Shen Xiaoyu after eating half of it, and the thing she came to do was not finished yet, so it is hard to say when she will be able to eat the next meal, so she has to save a little.

Shen Xiaoyu continued to walk, and then asked the uncle who sold steamed buns: "Uncle, do you know who in the city wants a girl to be happy?" ”

The uncle who sold steamed buns glanced at Shen Xiaoyu and said, "Master Qin's family seems to be looking for it, but you are like this...... I guess it's in vain! The uncle who sold steamed buns joked, but seeing Shen Xiaoyu's serious look, it wasn't like a joke, so he said: "Girl, Chongxi is not easy to rush, he may die, you better go home early!" ”

The uncle was kind-hearted, and Shen Xiaoyu could see it, but since he came, he couldn't go back, so he asked, "Uncle, how can Master Qin's house go?" ”

The uncle sighed and showed the way, Shen Xiaoyu thanked him and left, walked a few steps away, and heard the uncle say: "What kind of world is this, every child has to die by himself!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu followed the path pointed out by his uncle all the way, turned a few streets, and finally came to a gate.

The house is very big just by looking at the façade, and Shen Xiaoyu knows how rich the family is.

Shen Xiaoyu was sighing with emotion, and a fancy mother-in-law in the door was withdrawn by the people inside, and sat down at the door.

A young man in the door scolded: "You old pious woman, don't look at whose house this is, can you coax it casually?" The girl you told me is a disfigured fool, and such a person dares to take it to the Qin family to embarrass people? Hurry up and get out, if you don't roll, I'll kill you, my lord is a big official! ”

The mother-in-law who was blasted out was obviously dissatisfied, and when the family closed the door, she pointed to the door and scolded: "Phew, who wants to come with a sick and short-lived ghost?" If it weren't for the amount of money your family gave, the old lady wouldn't have served your family's short-lived ghost! After scolding, he turned around and saw Shen Xiaoyu, pouted and left.

Shen Xiaoyu watched the old woman leave, so he stepped forward and patted the door, and the family inside thought that the old woman had not left yet, and was about to scold, but when he saw that it was Shen Xiaoyu and a little girl, the dirty words on his lips were taken back first.

"What are you doing?" The family said viciously: "It's not a little beggar like you who comes here to ask for food, go to the back door if you want food!" "As he spoke, he was about to close the door.

Shen Xiaoyu hurriedly pulled the door and said, "I'm here to be happy!" ”

The family Ding Yileng said, "Chongxi? You came on your own? "The family is also confused, ordinary people can nod their heads basically with the idea of selling their daughters, but if there is a little way to live, who wants to send their daughter to death?

Shen Xiaoyu nodded: "It's me!" ”

The family looked behind Shen Xiaoyu, and didn't follow an adult, so he said, "Little girl, this is not a joke, what about your adult?" ”

"I'm not joking, I'm really here to rejoice!" Shen Xiaoyu said, his expression couldn't be more sincere.

The family frowned, and said, "Then you wait here." After saying that, he closed the door and went back to report.

Shen Xiaoyu found a clean place on the steps to sit for a while, and after a while, the door opened again, and the family came out and asked her to follow in.

Shen Xiaoyu followed the family into the Qin Mansion, looking magnificent from the outside, she also opened her eyes inside.

Although the Qin family is an official, but there is a lot of business income, the road is paved with marble, there are flowers and rockeries next to it, and the house is very magnificent.

Shen Xiaoyu didn't know many words, and he only felt good about everything.

"Let's go in, don't talk nonsense when you go in!" Jia Ding pointed to the door of one room and said.

Shen Xiaoyu nodded, and went in first, and as soon as he entered, he found that there were a lot of people inside.

Qin Zheng looked at this little girl, the clothes on her body were dirty, her hair was a little messy, and her face was cleaner.

After Qian Yuemei glanced at the teacup, she asked Shen Xiaoyu, "Where are you from?" The voice was slow, and although the little girl was dirty, her eyes were bright.

"I'm from Sihe Village, my father is about to starve to death, beg the old lady to take me!" Shen Xiaoyu knelt on the ground with a puff and kowtowed three times to the person in front of him.

Wang Xiuyan looked at it and said: "This girl doesn't look very good, although she looks like Zhou Zheng, she feels that it is not suitable for our Huaijin." After speaking, he said to Qian Yuemei: "Madam, do you want to take another look?" There was a hint of asking for advice in the tone.

As soon as Wang Xiuyan said this, Qian Yuemei's face straightened and said, "It's good to look Zhouzheng, I like it a little." "There are guns and sticks in and out of the words.

Qian Yuemei knew in her heart, there were two of them before, they looked handsome, and they were cleaned up, but as soon as the two children knelt down, they looked at Wang Xiuyan, and she couldn't tell that Wang Xiuyan had specially found them? Although this girl is a little worse now, she is not Wang Xiuyan's person.

Wang Xiuyan knew that she was bored, so she smiled awkwardly, and Qin Zheng said: "Since Mrs. looks good, let's see what is going on in this girl's family, if it is a child from a clean family, it will follow Mrs. will." Then he asked Shen Xiaoyu: "What about your family?" You can't do this, kid. ”
