Chapter 470: I Won't
Li Yao was about to speak, and the little girl came over with the remaining six people.
The seven people came to the living room with their heads down, and were about to kneel down for Li Yao, but were stopped by Li Yao.
"Alright, I don't need anyone to kneel down here to show loyalty, now start with you, tell me about your family situation." Li Yao said and pointed to the big guy on the far left, that is, the one with the most strength.
The big guy raised his eyes and saw that Li Yao was pointing at him, and his somewhat dark face turned a little red, making his skin darker.
Then he replied in a humble voice, "Miss, my family was originally in Wangjia Village, dozens of miles away, there is a father and a mother in the family, I have an elder brother above, and two younger brothers below, because the family is in some difficulties, I sold myself, and then I was taken to this town."
"Oh, what are the specific difficulties, is it convenient to say" Li Yao asked again.
The big guy was silent for a moment, and then he told the family about it intermittently.
It turns out that this guy is not favored at home, and his family has five acres of land, because it is not enough for the family to eat, and he also rents fifteen acres from others, basically after this guy is fourteen or fifteen years old, he will take care of the work in the field alone, and the family will all point to this guy to eat
Because the eldest guy's family has little land, and the rented land can only get a small half of the grain, the grain planted every year is almost enough for the family to eat and drink, and there is no silver left.
But seeing that several children are older, then you have to marry a few children, his eldest brother's marriage used up all the money in the family, the eldest guy is not favored, his father and mother are not cāo) heart him, seeing that the third child is going to be eighteen, and the fourth is also fifteen, and the family has not saved some money for these two brothers to marry a daughter-in-law, so this guy's father and his three brothers combined, and played a bitter scene with the eldest guy, after the eldest guy understood the meaning of the family, he was finally disheartened, and agreed to sell himself.
Li Yao was a little complicated in her heart, thinking that this was simply the male version of Niu Erni, and she didn't know if this child was also picked up
After the big guy finished speaking, the second young man who had read the book also said his own life, this guy is also a pitiful, when he was a child, the family was quite solid, but four years ago the young man's father died unexpectedly, his mother was too sad and couldn't afford to be sick, and then the young man spent all the money in the family in order to treat his mother, and owed a lot of money to relatives, but his mother still left last winter, and when his mother left, relatives began to collect debts, and the young man couldn't afford to pay back, and finally was sold by unscrupulous relatives for more than half a year.
The lives of the other five girls are strikingly similar, all of them are fathers and mothers who want to marry their brother or brother, and the family is short of money, and then they sell these poor little girls as goods, even the youngest girl.
Li Yao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, these children are not the epitome of this feudal society, even in the era in which she lived, it was not just an example of sacrificing her daughter to support her son
After the seven finished talking about their own lives, their eyes were red, and they didn't know whether they were sad and helpless about their fate, disappointed and angry about their original family, or maybe some people had illusions about their relatives.
"I don't care where you come from, whether you still remember your former family, but since I bought you, this is your new home, as long as you abide by my rules, I promise to protect you, I only have one rule, that is, never betrayal, as long as this kind of thing happens once, whether it causes serious consequences or not, I will never forgive, understand?"
Li Yao stood up as he spoke, and after speaking, his gaze swept sharply over the seven people, which made the seven people who were originally moved shudder.
In the end, Li Yao didn't even let go of Li Yu, and when she was in a hurry, she also glanced at Li Yu.
The corners of Li Yu's mouth twitched, and then he whispered, "I won't." "I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Princess Nongmen: Your Highness, don't send it slowly!" ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
