Chapter 24: To be sold as a small restaurant
"Eat." Qiao Mo'er handed the bowl up again.
Liu Zening took a deep look at Qiao Mo'er and reached out to take the bowl.
The Han family has always cherished their children, otherwise they would not have had a reputation for unfilial piety in the old mansion at that time, and turned against the Yao family. Now seeing that Liu Zening is even more pitiful than his own children, he is even more distressed.
"Brother, you'll still ask him where he's from in a while." Qiao Mo'er pulled Qiao Xu out of the door and whispered. Although she is full of sympathy, she will not cause trouble for herself. And Liu Zening has such a literary name, at first glance, he is not an ordinary child.
But Qiao Mo'er didn't expect that without waiting for Qiao Xu to ask, Liu Zening said it himself. Because Han and Qiao Guangfa greeted him with a few warm words, and he was moved to say everything.
Liu Zening is 13 years old and lives in Shiwan, about four or five miles away from Lianxi Village, about two mountains. He is the second oldest in the family, with an older brother and a sister above, and younger brothers and sisters below.
Liu Zening was still very loved by his father and mother when he was young, and his name was given by his father with two buckets of rice to the gentleman in the town's school, and he should have lived a very happy life.
However, as Liu Zening grew up, this gradually growing face can be described as handsome, not at all like his father and mother, and not quite like other brothers and sisters.
His father Liu Dashun became suspicious, and later listened to the mouths of others in the village, and began to suspect that Liu Zening was born by her mother outside.
After a lifetime of doubt, it began to sprout and blossom.
Liu Dashun began to lose his temper with Liu Zening's mother, Zhu, and even beat people.
Zhu didn't know at first, but later after Liu Dashun was drunk and leaked, in order to prove that he didn't steal people, he didn't let Liu Dashun take a break.
Zhu sprinkled all his anger on Liu Zening, beating and scolding at every turn, letting him do all the dirty work, and not giving him food if he couldn't finish it.
What's even more excessive is that a few days ago, Liu Dashun didn't know where to bring a man home, and after the man looked at Liu Zening all over his body, he said that he would bring people in a few days.
Liu Zening secretly overheard their conversation, that person seemed to be from out of town, specifically looking for some handsome and ignorant young men in the countryside, and wanted to send them to a small restaurant in a big place outside to serve men.
His father sold him and sold him to the Qinglou to make a small restaurant.
Liu Zening's heart was like ashes, he originally wanted to seek death, but when her mother found out, she beat him again and tied him up. It was his five-year-old sister who secretly let him go, and he ran out, but fainted on the mountain because of his injuries and hunger and cold.
After hearing Liu Zening's life experience from Han's mouth, Qiao Mo'er was dumbfounded, she thought that having a grandmother like Yao's who sold her granddaughter to rent a house for her son was already the best in the world, but she didn't expect that there was a father who suspected that the child was not her own because of what others said, and she wanted to sell him to do something like a small restaurant.
It took Qiao Mo'er a long time to digest this matter, but she also realized more seriously how terrible gossip is in this era.
"How can there be such a wolf-hearted father and mother in this world?" Han scolded angrily at the time.
Qiao Guangfa's face was not very good-looking, and he looked at Qiao Mo'er for a while and said, "No one can be the master of our family in the future." ”
This was unexpected by Qiao Mo'er, but Qiao Guangfa was happy to see such a change in consciousness.
There are only three thatched huts in the house, which was originally one for Qiao Mo'er, and Qiao Xu Dou'er Han and Qiao Guangfa both slept on the big kang in the hall house.
Because there was an extra person in the family, Qiao Mo'er let Qiao Xu and Liu Zening sleep in her own room, and she slept with Han outside.
