"Didn't Uncle Bao do anything?" Luo Xiaoqiao asked.

"Why didn't you do it? Uncle Bao asked to split the family, and they lived by themselves and didn't drag them down, but it didn't work, and the old lady didn't agree. Luo Xiaoqiao said with a sob.

Grandma Luo couldn't help but say: "Mrs. Bao doesn't like girls, saying that girls are losing money, and I can't wait to drive out all the girls in the family."

"Uncle Bao and Aunt Bao have been kneeling in front of the old lady's house for an afternoon," Luo Niuniu also said.

"Xiao Qiao, you have a brain, do you think there is a way to help them?"

Grandma Luo sighed: "Yuzhi is a good one, she served the old one and the young one, so she almost didn't make a cow and a horse for their family, and her own children ended up like this."

After listening to this, Luo Xiaoqiao sighed deeply, the so-called "foolish and filial piety" culture, combined with the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women, met unreliable elders, and really stifled the fate of many girls.

If the women in the north were all just tools for giving birth to children, marrying from their fathers and husbands at home, they had no human rights at all.

Then, from her, it has to be rewritten.

She is soft-spoken, and it is impossible to change social values all at once, so start from Luojia Village, little by little, there will always be a day of infiltration.

"Grandpa, you go to the village chief and ask him to call the whole village, and they will all go to Uncle Bao for a while, and say that there is something good." Luo Xiaoqiao looked at Grandpa Luo and said.

"Xiao Qiao, you think about it first, how to calculate this, it's all a family matter, and you can't force it. And even if you want to give Mrs. Bao silver to keep the plum blossoms for the time being, it won't be long-term. The brothers of the Bao family are ruthless", Grandpa Luo frowned and got up, and said to Luo Xiaoqiao before leaving.

"Grandpa, go ahead, it's okay."

It was evening, the evening breeze was blowing, and the fiery clouds on the horizon were about to reflect a red sky.

What a beautiful view, what a tragic fate.

Luo Xiaoqiao shook his head and continued to go to Uncle Bao's side.

The change of habits and concepts depends on words and deeds. In this ancient environment, "words and words" can't be done, so let's "teach by example".

After a while, Uncle Bao's door was full of villagers, all pointing at their house.

Mrs. Bao didn't go out either, and scolded in the yard with the door of the outhouse closed: "Don't worry about the radish, who dares to talk about my family's affairs, my wife is not finished with him." Who said that the old lady sold her granddaughter, what a good in-law she found, and she was rich, and there was no old man on top of her..."

The words are always mixed with the cry of a woman's plea: "Mother, the plum blossom is too small, you let her stay at home for another two years"

The pain of crying blood from the bottom of my heart made everyone outside the door feel very uncomfortable.

"Knock knock", Luo Xiaoqiao didn't care what the old lady scolded, and knocked on the door in the past.

"Who, boss, go open the door, the old lady wants to see, who dares to take care of my family's private affairs", the old lady instructed her eldest son angrily.

With the sound of footsteps, the door was slowly opened, and the greasy face of the boss of the Bao family poked out: "Xiao Qiao, why are you?" What are you doing here? ”

Boss Bao's originally irritable expression became cautious, no one in their family can go to work in Luo's yet, this will offend this God of Wealth, and maybe they won't have a chance in the future.

"Uncle, I'm here to see Meihua, I heard that she's not very good?" Luo Xiaoqiao said with a smile.

"That'...... Then come in", Boss Bao said as he let people out into the courtyard.

The Bao family also has seven or eight houses, because the third child went to serve in the military, the old lady drove the third family to live in the wing. At this moment, the plum blossom is lying in the dark wing, a cramped and narrow room, and a curtain is separated by a family, and they can't even turn around after getting up.

Luo Xiaoqiao couldn't help but take a bite of the old lady in her heart, she really didn't know what to say. The third son was born and died for the sake of the family, so he treated his wife and children like this.

"Sister Plum Blossom", Luo Xiaoqiao looked at the lifeless girl on the bed, lost her eyes, and whispered to her: "You fight up, I'm here to help you." ”

Meihua didn't speak, and tears slowly gathered in her eyes.

Help her? How can it help? Her parents can't do anything, a person with a foreign surname, and a little money, what can they do?

"Grandma Bao, look at this Sister Meihua's marriage, can you drag it back", Luo Xiaoqiao was very straightforward and said to the old lady in the courtyard who was still scolding.

"Why? Do you have a little money to take care of my family's business? I said that the dowry was received, and who would be responsible for missing the auspicious day! This is a good time for our plum blossoms to live for a lifetime. "The old lady knocked her mouth up and down, and the words were stringed one after another.

"No, Grandma Bao. That's the case, my family has opened a new workshop, and I want to recruit a few female workers to spin threads, and I can rest assured that I need this craft. Luo Xiaoqiao said slowly.

"Spinning?" Mrs. Bao pouted, "Who can't you find to spin the thread?" ”

"Grandma Bao, it's really not everyone who can do it. Who in the village doesn't know the good craftsmanship of Aunt Bao San's embroidery, I need a trick, I really can't find someone like her. ”

Luo Xiaoqiao said with a smile: "Grandma Bao, look, I will give one or two pieces of silver a month, will it be successful?" ”

"How much?" Mrs. Bao's voice instantly became louder.

"If you agree, Aunt Bao will come to me to help, one or two silver dollars a month, and Sister Meihua will do the same." Luo Xiaoqiao continued to throw the bait out.

The old lady Bao frowned tightly, the old widower gave a dowry of fifteen taels. The two of the third family, together are two taels of silver a month, and twenty-four taels a year, which is more than what men earn.

"Then what if the third family goes?" Mrs. Bao said.

"Grandma Bao, don't pretend to be confused, I am looking at the friendship between my sister and Sister Meihua, I came to discuss with you, if you are willing, just the two of you come together, if you don't want to, forget it, there are so many people in the city, with this money, I can buy enough people"

Luo Xiaoqiao sneered, looking at the greed in the old lady's eyebrows, it was only a matter of time before he agreed.

"No, one or two is too little, give two taels," said Mrs. Bao.

Luo Xiaoqiao snorted coldly, half threatening and half tempting: "Two two? Old lady, do I really have to be you when you do this? At most, one or two halves, not to pull down. And this two halves, I also have conditions. If you want to agree, settle down, if you don't agree, you will fall in love with wherever you go. ”

Mrs. Bao looked at her expression, remembering the miserable appearance of Luo Xinkang's old mother, and she was a little unsure of her attitude, in case it was hard?

Mrs. Bao couldn't help but shudder, and her tone softened: "What conditions, you say." ”

"Aunt Bao and Sister Meihua went to work at my house and had to sign an agreement, because my workshop involved a secret recipe, so I couldn't talk much when I went home." The old lady nodded, she understood.

"Also", Luo Xiaoqiao continued: "This agreement, signed for three years, within three years, Sister Meihua can't say that her mother-in-law has to agree to it."

"Why?" Mrs. Bao was unhappy: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, why do we say that the in-laws still have your consent!" ”

"You can not agree", Luo Xiaoqiao looked at her evilly: "Then forget it, then I'll go"

As she spoke, she was about to go out. There are many ways to save people, and it is best to agree, and if you don't agree, it's not impossible to take the dark road.

"Hey, what are you doing, you leave before you say yes, you come back, come back and say."

The old lady is a little anxious, and the boss is even more anxious, what a good job, as long as the three families are not separated, the money earned is everyone's, and they can all follow it.
