49: Method
Chen Daniu was sold by her mother to the current father-in-law, and she didn't have a good face for the Chen family, and then she decided to help the child in front of her.
"Brother and sister, what do you want me to help you with?"
"It's such an eldest sister, my brother-in-law has thought of a way, don't they want money, then we will use money to give them a hand.
We discussed, and when the time came, we sent two IOUs back to them and said that we owed money outside, and they didn't want to sell Xiang'er, so let them help us pay back the money, and they would definitely be reluctant to do so, and I don't believe they could snatch the child from us.
Didn't they say filial piety, since they were going to sell my children, then it was right for us to pay off our debts.
So, let's come to the eldest sister, we want to go to the eldest sister to help, just go through the motions, no need to really lend us money. ”
After listening to Wang Meihua's words, the Hu family was quite relieved, but they didn't expect anyone to think of such a solution.
"Your brother-in-law?"
Hu Dangjia glanced around, and finally stopped at Wang Meihua and asked.
"This is my brother-in-law." Wang Meihua introduced Erlin like them.
"The eldest sister of the in-laws, the eldest brother-in-law." Erlin got up and bowed slightly to greet them.
"Your sister is married to a good family."
Hu Dangjia looked at the second sister and said to Wang Meihua that he could feel what kind of person he was as a man.
"The eldest brother-in-law praises it." Erlin took the compliment.
Hu Dangjia stopped talking and continued to listen to the side.
"Can this work?" Chen Daniu asked with some uncertainty.
"I don't know, I can't think of any other way now, my mother said that the day after tomorrow I would let someone take Xiang'er away."
"So fast?"
"Hmm."
"Master, you see?"
Chen Daniu didn't know what to do for a while, and looked at her man.
"Look, I think it's okay, even if it doesn't work out, we won't lose anything, besides, I think it's a pretty good solution.
It's just that if you write too much money on the IOU, your parents shouldn't believe it, right? Have you thought about this? ”
The previous sentence is said to Chen Daniu, and the next question is asked by Erlin.
"After thinking about it a little, we didn't plan to write much, but after a little calculation, there should be a total of several IOUs for six or seven taels of silver, I think they can't sell a seven or eight-year-old child for much money, and I don't think they will want to sell the child anymore."
Erlin did not hesitate to explain to Chen Daniu.
"Yes, this Brother Ding is really good."
Hu Dangjia felt that Erlin was very appetizing, and he was not stingy with his praise.
Erlin smiled and didn't speak again.
"Eldest sister, look?"
Wang Meihua looked at Chen Daniu expectantly, waiting for her answer.
"Okay, I agree, you can come with me when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll go with you, but when are we going?"
"The day after tomorrow, we have to go to the second sister's house tomorrow, ask the second sister for help, and there are other things to prepare."
"Okay, then we'll go to Chen's house early the day after tomorrow."
In this conversation, Chen Dali basically has no right to speak, Hu Dangjia doesn't look down on him at all, and Chen Daniu doesn't notice him because Xiang'er doesn't notice him, and their relationship is not so good.
Speaking of Wang Meihua, they were able to make Chen Daniu agree to help so smoothly, firstly, because of Xiang'er, and secondly, because of their husbands and wives, they had no good image of the Chen family.
You must know that after Chen Daniu was married to the Hu family, the Chen family did not come to the door to fight the autumn breeze, or did her man slowly stop coming after a long meal, which can make them uncomfortable, and they are very comfortable in their hearts.
There were scholars in Hujia Village, so they borrowed paper and pen to write an IOU and asked Chen Dali to press the palm print, and then several people left.
By the time they returned to Wang's house, it was already dark, and the Wang's family was still waiting for them to come back for dinner.
This time, things went very smoothly, which made Erlin a little surprised, but it was good that the thing was done, and if it was done tomorrow, it would be half of the matter, and the remaining half would be seen again.
"Big brother, is there anyone in the village who can read and write?"
During the meal, Erlin asked Boss Wang while eating.
"Yes, the village chief will write."
"Then tomorrow we will go and ask the village chief to help write two IOUs and get these ready."
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow morning after dinner."
"Eldest sister, I won't accompany you tomorrow, what you said today is very good, tomorrow you take Xiang'er to go, the eldest brother-in-law is at home, we will talk to him about something, remember to find someone to write the IOU when the time comes."
Erlin is not going to follow tomorrow, it is useless for him to go, and he thinks what she said is very good, and when Xiang'er stands on the side again, the chance of success will be greater.
"Okay, I got it."
Wang Meihua nodded, with today's experience, she thought that tomorrow would not be difficult.
After eating, the gossip went to sleep for a while.
"Dad, where did you and your aunt go today? I heard from my cousin that Sister Xiaoxiang's grandmother was going to sell her, right? Why do you want to sell Sister Xiaoxiang? Can I buy it back if I sell it? ”
Xin'er, who slept a lot during the day, couldn't sleep at night, pulled Erlin's clothes and asked.
When I arrived at Wang's house this afternoon, Xin'er was still asleep, and Erlin didn't wake up when he left, and after half an afternoon, Xin'er also knew why her father and mother came to her grandfather's house.
She didn't know why people were being sold, and she had a lot of doubts in her heart, although the cousin of the Wang family explained to her this afternoon, she still didn't understand.
"Who told you this?"
"I asked my cousin what they knew, Dad, why did you say that Cousin Xiaoxiang and her grandmother wanted to sell her, Cousin Xiaoxiang is so powerful, she knows everything. Daddy, will you sell me? ”
Xin'er was a little panicked, she did those things this morning to make her father angry, if her father and mother thought that she was useless, would she also sell her?
Ever since she knew about it, she had been scared in her heart, and she didn't dare to tell anyone, so she held it in her heart.
"Why do you think we're selling you?"
Erlin looked at his heart with some concern, could this child have been stimulated by something, and really shouldn't let her come into contact with these things.
"Look, Cousin Xiaoxiang is so capable, her grandmother is going to sell her, what about me, I can't do anything, and I always make you angry and cause you trouble, will you think I'm useless and sell me? Daddy, will you sell me? ”
Listening to what Xin'er said so much, Erlin didn't know how to tell her for a while, and he didn't have that idea now because he wanted to teach her a lesson because of what happened this morning.
"What do you want to write, how can we think you're useless, you see, you helped your mother pick beans before, and you also helped your mother pick insects, potatoes and corn, how can your heart be useless.
Besides, you're still happy to tease your parents, aren't you? Don't worry, your father and mother will not sell you, my mother swears. ”
Erlin didn't speak, Wang was really distressed, and began to comfort her without waiting for him to speak.
"Dad, is what my mother said true?"
Xin'er was still a little uneasy when she heard this, so she asked again.
"Well, your mother is right, you, don't think about it anymore, we won't sell you, you're daddy's little padded jacket."
