Chapter 4 Livelihood Cao Saburo sells women

Lin Saiyu recognized that this was an aunt of her own family, she loved to talk and laugh, her skills were very good, and she often went to the city to do show work, and everyone called Qiao Niang, because she had seen the world in the village or was highly regarded in the village, seeing her coming, Lu Shi was a little sneering, and the golden egg hugged her legs and made a fuss to pick persimmons, and was slapped open by her: "Eat, eat, eat all the family and starve to death!" ”

Qiao Niang pursed her lips and smiled, stepped forward to pick up the crying golden egg, and said, "Life is difficult, no wonder the child." As he spoke, he pushed the golden egg into Lin Saiyu's hand, "Go, hug my brother and play." ”

For Qiao Niang, Lin Saiyu heard a little, her possession is highly regarded by the villagers, because there is a way in the city, can sell the daughters of those people, at this moment to listen to her talk to send herself out, Lin Saiyu couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, picked up the golden egg and went out, dug some grass roots to make the golden egg not cry, quietly touched back, hid under the window just heard Lu Shi crying mournfully, seemed to say something sad, that Qiao Niang was comforting.

"Say, 'How are you going to spend this day?' These two small ones are not enough to eat, I have a body again, and it is better to hang myself with a rope as soon as possible than to starve to death in the future. Lu said in a low voice, there was no arrogance in his voice, Lin Saiyu heard it outside, and felt sad for a while, although Lu beat and scolded her, but that was because every family was like this, they were poor people, and they were worried about how to live every day, and they had the mood to pamper their children.

Lin Saiyu suddenly hated herself, why did she give birth to a daughter, if it was a man, it was very possible to go south and north to cultivate grain seeds, and it would not be to guard the land and watch people starve to death.

"Your family is thirteen years old this year, are you ready to make a promise?" Qiao Niang said suddenly.

Lindsay's eyes jumped, and she got to the point!

"How can you have the money to marry her!" Lu Shi said in a muffled voice, she seemed to know Qiao Niang's intention, "Can my sister-in-law find a way to live for her?" I've thanked my sister-in-law here! ”

Over the years, Lin Saiyu has also seen that it is not a shame to sell women as slaves here, and the lucky daughter can be a concubine when she grows up, and the family has a good life, so those daughters who are sold are also happy,

Her heart sank flickeringly, the daughter family who was a slave would sooner or later be pulled by the master's family, or given to others as a gift, without a trace of reason and opportunity to resist, she would rather marry a poor villager, would rather be beaten and scolded by the Lu family for the rest of her life, than leave the free and warm earth, and be locked in a high courtyard wall for the rest of her life.

She didn't listen to the rest of the words, holding the laughing golden egg and slowly walking outside the village, when she first came here three years ago, she didn't feel how terrible the future was, in the Lu family's beating and scolding and busy work, she felt no different from the life she had always lived, which made her feel very down-to-earth, and it didn't touch her to travel to ancient times, but if she was sold, what kind of future would wait for her?

"Little Flower!" Liu Xiaohu's shout woke up the distracted Lin Saiyu, and the golden egg was also familiar with Liu Xiaohu, and broke free from her and ran over.

Lin Saiyu saw herself walking to the door of Liu Xiaohu's house, and Liu Xiaohu was standing in the corner, rolling up her sleeves, rolling up her trousers, and looking at her with a muddy hand.

"What do you do? Pig's nest! Lin Saiyu looked at the one next to Liu Xiaohu, a house similar to a common pig's nest in later generations, and couldn't help blurting out.

"Pig's nest?" Liu Xiaohu tilted his head, as if thinking about her words, and grinned, "No, this is the land I am going to plant." ”

Farming? Lin Saiyu looked over intently and found that Liu Xiaohu's project was the prototype of a mud house that had just appeared, only half a meter high, Lin Saiyu looked surprised, but she couldn't believe her thoughts, and looked at Liu Xiaohu suspiciously, "What are you going to use it for?" ”

Liu Xiaohu smiled and said mysteriously: "You'll know later." ”

Lin Saiyu saw that the golden egg had been stained with mud in his hand, and was touching his body, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed him and slapped his ass, and the golden egg shouted and shouted that he had to go down to play with the mud, and Lin Saiyu hit him twice and ran away.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Qiao Niang being sent out by Lu's family, and looked at her with a smile and left, Lu looked at the mud rolling on the golden egg, opened his mouth and didn't scold, Cao Saburo came back after dark, Lindsay Yu was allowed to eat with the golden egg for the first time, and crawled to the back room early to sleep, but how could she sleep, pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation outside, Lu's voice was very small, and she couldn't really hear it, and suddenly Cao Saburo raised his voice, "How can this kind of thing be made!" Where is it to the point of selling daughters! ”

Lin Saiyu couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't have any feelings for this father, she didn't say a few words every day, and she never thought that he would be reluctant to sell himself!

Could it be that the fathers in this world are not good at expressing their feelings? Lin Saiyu remembered the rickety figure of Daddy Lin covering the fruit trees in the rainy night, tears couldn't help but fall, and heard Lu faintly say that he was a good family outside, just in the village next door, only a couple with a child to buy a maid and so on, buried their heads in the broken quilt and cried and cried and fell asleep.

Got up early the next morning, saw Cao Sanlang squatting in the yard chopping wood, his eyes were covered with red silk, obviously he didn't sleep well, Lu Shi held the golden egg to feed the water, Lindsay Yu picked up the blunt knife in the corner of the wall, turned out a bunch of dried vegetable roots and chopped the chickens scattered in the yard, and then used the cold well water to wash the handle, scooped out half a bowl of bran from the tank, and waited for the water on the stove to boil and poured it in, and then turned around to see Cao Sanlang climb the persimmon tree to pick the last four persimmons, Lindsay Yu soured his nose, lowered his head and stopped looking at them by burning the fire.

On the sweet persimmon, Lindsay Yu ate more than half a piece of chaff nest, Lu did not scold her for being a foodie this time, less Lu's scolding, this meal is not comfortable for the family, Cao Saburo drank two big bowls, not willing to eat a bite of persimmons, even the pickled root only ate a bite, Lu glanced at Cao Sanlang, gave four persimmons to their sisters and brothers, the golden egg was full of joy, after eating, he reached out to take Lindsay Yu's, was slapped open by Lu, wow wow cried.

Lin Saiyu sighed, and had nothing to complain about the couple in her heart, so she hurriedly picked up the golden egg and coaxed to play. After a while, I saw Qiao Niang staggering over.

"Sister Hua, can my aunt take you to a good place?" She stopped in front of Lindsay Yu and asked with a smile.

Lin Saiyu glanced at her, no words, Lu heard the movement and came out, invited Qiao Niang to enter the door, called Lindsay Yu, scooped some hot water from the pot, washed her face briefly, and found clean clothes, and when Lin Saiyu cleaned up, he saw that Cao Sanlang had also changed into clean clothes and was standing in the yard waiting for her.

"Sister, go out with your father." Lu said in a dumb voice, Jin Dan saw his sister come out, and happily pounced on it, pestering to catch birds to play, but was dragged by Lu's hand, Jin Dan was annoyed, grabbed Lin Saiyu's clothes and couldn't get down, shouting not to let his sister go, this sound made everyone with a little panic, Lu pulled the golden egg, hit him twice on his body, gritted his teeth and turned his head to enter the door.

"Let's go!" Qiao Niang was used to such things, shook her head and said, first walk along the road to the outside of the village.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw Liu Xiaohu chopping firewood in the yard, and I saw her shouting happily, "Xiaohua,"

Lin Saiyu didn't pay attention to him with a depressed heart, but Qiao Niang responded with a smile, and it happened that Aunt Liu also came out, so she said: "Big lady, I have sold your show work, come back and give you money, people like it, and ask me to ask you to make some uppers." ”

Aunt Liu smiled and thanked her, seeing the three of them, she paused and didn't speak again, just looked at Lin Saiyu with a little sadness, Liu Xiaohu rushed out with a smile, he saw Lin Saiyu wearing such clean clothes for the first time, and asked, "Xiaohua, what are you doing?" Relatives? ”

Lin Saiyu turned his head to look at him, and when he said yes, Liu Xiaohu happily pointed to the corner of his house, where the mud house had been built, and said, "You came back early, I'll show you good things." ”

What else did he want to say, but he was stopped by Aunt Liu, and looked at Lindsay Yu and left without looking back.

Cao Sanlang walked slowly behind Qiao Niang, Lin Saiyu kept her head down and followed silently, as if she could hear the rooster crow in the yard of the house, as well as the childish voice of the golden egg, holding back the tears rolling in her eyes and speeding up her pace, when she went out of the village and crossed a slope, she couldn't help but look back, and faintly saw Lu standing under the big tree at the entrance of the village and looking around.

This is a black jujube tree, in the past three years, every time the fruit is ripe, the children in the village will fight a war, Lin Saiyu is the winner every time, firmly control the fruit of half of the tree, for which the villagers blamed, some even went to Cao Sanlang's house, saying that she was greedy, domineering, the tree in the village, why is she alone, the Lu family usually kills her, but she is a person who protects her shortcomings, and it is indispensable to scold others. It was almost late autumn, and the top of the tree was empty, with branches stretching out with teeth and claws, and Lindsay Yu sighed, this time maybe there will be no chance to come back in this life.

"Sister, let's go, there are good days waiting ahead!" Qiao Niang turned around, said with a smile, and took her hand.

After all, Lin Saiyu was young, and she walked slowly after a while, Cao Sanlang saw that she bent over and carried her, Qiao Niang had done a lot of business, understood his thoughts, and said with a smile: "His uncle really loves children, and my sister will not forget it when she has face in the future!" ”

Along the way, Qiao Niang slowly told the matter, and when she saw Lin Saiyu, she didn't say anything, just followed, the country girls were so stupid, Qiao Niang didn't care, and told Cao Sanlang about the other party's situation in detail again.

"It's a family from the south, bought a house from the Song family in Lao'er Village, only brought a woman, the son is only one year old, and brought a maid from home, it's not enough, this is a good master's house, with a good temper and a good temperament, and you want to enjoy happiness there" said and repeatedly told Lindsay Yu to be honest, work more, and not cry, saying this is already a suburban Lao'er Village, this village is much more than Lindsay Yu lives, and it is adjacent to the county seat, everyone can do some small business, and it looks very good.

When I entered the village, I saw a house, the black lacquer gate, the door had just been sprinkled and swept, Qiao Niang stopped and repeatedly told Cao Sanlang a few words, and taught Lin Saiyu a few words, telling not to cry, and then dressed up and stepped forward to call the door.
