Chapter 005: Redeeming Freedom
"Xiaosheng is my son!" Da Lang put down the bowl and said in a low voice.
"Then why don't you ask him to eat with him?" Lu Ziling asked puzzled.
"Xiaosheng ......" Da Lang was full of self-blame, and half of his words were spoken.
"Why do you talk so much, woman?" Saburo glared at her unhappily, this woman was definitely sent by Heaven to torture them.
"Third brother! She is your second sister-in-law! Da Lang shouted.
"Brother Xiaosheng hasn't been out of the house for two years, and he doesn't play with Yingzi." Xiao Yingzi lowered her head and said aggrievedly.
Brother Xiaosheng must hate her very much, she calls him every day, he doesn't speak, but she still likes Brother Xiaosheng very much!
No matter how sluggish Lu Ziling is, she found something abnormal, what happened to this child named Xiaosheng?
It seems that the situation in this family is more complicated and difficult than she imagined.
Four older men with two small children, three of whom need to be supervised, and it's no wonder they would pay for her.
"It's all family, there's nothing you can't say." There was a reluctant smile on Da Lang's swarthy face.
San Lang snorted coldly, picked up a nest head, and devoured it.
Erlang didn't say anything, but a pair of indifferent eyes saw everything about Lu Ziling.
Lu Ziling was embarrassed for a while and didn't know what to say, so she could only silently add a little firewood to the stove to boil water.
She chopped the wild vegetables and leftover meat at home, sprinkled the white flour evenly after the water boiled, and then put the chopped wild vegetables and minced meat into the batter.
San Lang was tired and hungry from working in the field, although he didn't like Lu Ziling, but he didn't grieve his stomach because of this, and hurriedly filled a full bowl and drank it with a snort, and secretly said in his heart: This woman is okay with cooking.
Lu Ziling glared at him helplessly when she heard San Lang's snoring when she ate, don't eat the food I cook if you have the ability!
With Da Lang's permission, Xiao Yingzi led Lu Ziling to the south wing room to deliver food to Xiao Sheng.
"Sister, Brother Xiaosheng must hate me so he doesn't talk to me." Xiao Yingzi said aggrievedly.
In the afternoon, Lu Ziling was wandering around the yard, Xiaoyingzi had been quietly following her, and when she found out, she immediately ran away like a frightened little rabbit, and ran back to continue to follow her while she was not paying attention, and her big black eyes were very cute.
It took Lu Ziling nearly two hours to get close to her, weave a cute scorpion braid for her, and talk to her under the pretext of cooking, so that she and Xiaoyingzi slowly became acquainted.
Pulling back her thoughts, she touched Xiaoyingzi's head and comforted: "How could it be! Xiaoyingzi is so cute, Xiaosheng must like you too. ”
"But Brother Xiaosheng has never spoken to me!" Xiao Yingzi said with a bitter face.
Lu Ziling frowned, that is, she hadn't spoken for three years, "Did Xiaosheng talk to the rest of the family?" ”
"I don't think so!"
Lu Ziling's heart was terrified, could it be an autistic child?
"This is it." Xiao Yingzi stopped in front of a room and said.
The afterglow of the setting sun had disappeared into the deep clouds, and twilight had fallen, and the dilapidated wooden house was unusually dim in the twilight.
Lu Ziling knocked on the door and said, "Xiaosheng, we're in." ”
Pushing open the door, a musty smell came to my face.
The windows in the house were all closed, and it took Lu Ziling half a day to see the furnishings inside, a bed, a patched mosquito net with no color hanging on the bed, a four-corner table, and a notched porcelain bowl on the table, next to the bowl was a jar, which should be filled with water, but what about people?
What about that little boy named Xiaosheng!
"What about people?" Lu Ziling looked at Xiao Yingzi in surprise.
Xiao Yingzi pointed to the location behind the door, looking familiar, "Brother Xiaosheng has always been there." ”
Lu Ziling took a few steps forward, looked behind the door, and sure enough, she saw a small figure curled up, and she was inexplicably sad.
She squatted down, handed the rice bowl forward, and said softly, "Xiaosheng, let's eat!" ”
The little figure shook slightly, shrunk into the corner, and looked resistant.
Lu Ziling sighed helplessly, slowly stood up, and put the rice bowl on the table, "I'll put the rice on the table." ”
"My sister's cooking is delicious!" Xiao Yingzi seduced.
Lu Ziling looked at Xiao Yingzi and smiled slightly, her beautiful face was like a light in the twilight, and said softly: "Xiao Sheng can tell me and Xiao Yingzi what you want to eat, and we will make it for you." ”
"That's right! That's right! Xiao Yingzi nodded again and again, so that Brother Xiaosheng would talk to her.
The courtyard is not big, the distance between the kitchen and the west wing is not far, and the three big men all pricked up their ears to pay attention to the movement next to them.
"Pretending to be a good person." San Lang put down the dishes and chopsticks and snorted coldly, he just couldn't get used to her appearance as a young lady.
"Third brother, no matter what she says, she is also your second sister-in-law, you should pay attention to what you say, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother." Da Lang warned again.
"She doesn't look like an ordinary woman, but more like a down-and-out daughter, how did you buy her." Jiro analyzed.
San Lang explained in detail the process of buying her, and also summed it up: "What can you do if you can't pick your shoulders and can't lift them?" ”
He always felt that the family needed a strong and healthy woman, this kind of softness and weakness, as soon as the wind blew, it was really a loss.
"I'm worried that her background will get us in trouble." Jiro made up his mind.
"This ......" Da Lang was stunned suddenly, the second brother's words were not unreasonable.
He remembered that the daughter-in-law that Liu Er bought in the village was the lost daughter of the outsider, and finally the outsider's family came to look for someone, Liu Er not only lost the daughter-in-law he bought with money, but was also seriously injured by the other party's family, and soon died of illness.
"Then let's sell her!" Saburo said.
This woman has outstanding appearance and gentle temperament, and she will sell for a hundred taels of silver.
"No!" Da Lang refused without thinking about it.
She is so good-looking, she will definitely be sold to that kind of place and fall into the dust, how can he push her into the fire pit.
Erlang's deep gaze fell on Da Lang, flashing slightly, a little surprised.
It's rare for a big brother to be so interested in a woman!
"I'll buy you double my money, and I'll stay here for a year, is that okay?" Lu Ziling's voice came from the door.
"You're eavesdropping on us." Saburo stood up and accused.
"Although I don't have much energy, I can do laundry, cooking, and taking care of the children. If my family comes to me within this year, I will protect you. Lu Ziling said sincerely.
"What if you can't give us double the amount of money in a year?" Saburo groaned.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"We can sell it now, you can buy another woman, why should you waste food for a year?" Saburo looked at her with a calculating expression.
"And what do you want?" Lu Ziling looked at him with a slight frown, not understanding why this man was targeting her so much.
"I want to ......," Saburo was stunned.
What does he want? He just didn't want to do what she wanted.
"Don't worry, we won't sell you." Da Lang looked at her as if he wanted to make a major decision.
"Thank you, but I don't want to marry someone who has no feelings, so I'm willing to give you double the money to redeem myself." Lu Ziling felt a little guilty when she saw the disappointment on Da Lang's face.
"Double! Do you give it? You spent fifteen taels of silver on medicine and medical treatment, and it cost you one tael of silver to buy it, and double it is thirty-two taels of silver, can you, a weak woman who can't do anything, earn thirty-two taels of silver a year? Saburo sneered.
