Mrs. Lu was very surprised, she often saw Widow Qin come to ask for peace these days, because she spoke interestingly and acted more elegantly than the peasant woman in the village, she originally appreciated it, but now Widow Qin suddenly ran to say this, and she felt that the other party was too abrupt. She glanced at her granddaughter and said lightly: "Hurry up and invite your sister-in-law Qin into the house to sit down and talk, it's really rude to treat guests like this!" ”

She didn't know if she was talking about her own rudeness or Widow Qin's rudeness, Wen Yi didn't think much about it, and hurriedly went to help Widow Qin, but the other party insisted on kneeling in front of the door and cried: "Old lady, the little woman knows that she is reckless, but the little woman really has no way, if it is not a last resort, the little woman will not open this mouth!" After a pause, she glanced at her eldest daughter kneeling beside her, her eyes were red, and she choked up: "The little woman heard the news of her husband's relatives and wanted to take the child to take refuge, but ...... The distance was too far for the little woman to afford to travel...... In order for the child to be able to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, the little woman ...... Want to sell your eldest daughter to your family...... Whether it's a girl or a handyman, although she is stupid, she is honest and willing to do it, no matter what kind of work it is, she will do it, as long as you give her food, clothes and clothes......" Speaking of this, tears have rained down. Although the eldest daughter Yunni was only twelve or thirteen years old, she was already sensible, and she trembled when she heard the words, and shouted "Mother", but she bit her lip and didn't say a word to beg her mother not to sell herself.

Wen Yi was amazed when she heard this. From time to time, Widow Qin asked Yun Ni to bring some melons, vegetables and fruits, so her grandparents and grandchildren knew each other with the servants who were waiting in front of her. This little girl is indeed an honest and diligent character, although not very clever, but very likable, not very beautiful, but with good facial features, round face, white complexion, is the kind of person who is often said to have "good fortune", and is also very good at cooking, helping her mother with housework and taking care of her younger brother on weekdays, and can do any job. Such a daughter is capable, well-behaved and likable, how could Widow Qin be willing to sell her?! If she is really short of money, she will pay it back, but her family obviously still has real estate, and she is the goddaughter of the village chief's wife, looking at the situation of her family, she will raise a sum of money for the journey, so she won't want to sell her daughter, right?!

Thinking of this, Wen Yi couldn't help but speak: "Don't you still have a house?!" You want to take your son to join your husband's relatives, and you won't live in this house anymore, why don't you sell the house for the travel fee?! This house is worth forty or fifty taels of silver, but Yunni's worth is far behind! Now outside, a little girl between the ages of ten and fourteen, who looks good and has craftsmanship, is worth only twelve taels of silver, if it is in a small place, five taels may not be able to sell! "In order to buy a girl, she specially inquired about the market from Nie Jiaye a few days ago, so she knew it very well.

Widow Qin wanted to speak and stopped, and then a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was squeezed out from the crowd outside the courtyard, Wen Yi recognized her as the granddaughter of the village chief, and her name seemed to be Cuihua. Cuihua squeezed into the courtyard, ignored Aunt Zhang's obstruction, ran into the main house and shouted: "Aunt God, why don't you tell us the truth when you wait for the money?!" If I had known that you were going to sell Winnier for the sake of travel expenses, I would not have let my brother ask for your house! ”

Widow Qin turned around and reprimanded: "Cuihua, don't say it!" "I don't! I'm biased to say! Cuihua stubbornly raised her head, glared at Wen Yi and Mrs. Lu and said, "My grandfather and father both said that you are kind rich people, so you must not buy Yunier as a girl!" My godaunt originally had a house, but because she was leaving, she didn't need the house, so my mother told her that my brother was about to get married, and the family had no money to build a new house for him, so she asked her to give the house to my brother. Aunt God's aunt agreed in one bite, and our family was so happy that we were dying, but we didn't know that she had no house and was going to sell Yuniel! ”

Wen Yi then understood what was going on, and looked at Widow Qin again: "Why didn't you tell them the truth?!" ”

Widow Qin choked up and said: "The little woman came here with her two children to settle down, and Meng Ganniang took her in, not only recognized the little woman as a daughter, but also found someone to build a house for the little woman, and the little woman's family was able to live in peace here, which was the grace of the godmother's family." Now that the godmother's grandson is in trouble, how can the little woman not help if she can help?! What's more, even if this house is worth dozens of taels of silver, who will buy it? No one in the village could come up with this cash! It's better to give it to the godmother's family, which can be regarded as repaying the favor...... The little woman left here with her child, and I am afraid that she will never come back in this life......"

Wen Yi heard the hidden anger in her heart: "Since you plan not to come back for the rest of your life, why do you want to sell your daughter?!" Is it only your son who is your husband's flesh and blood, and your daughter is not?! It's a shame that you have to be ruthless! ”

Widow Qin blushed at what she said and lowered her head. Yunni wiped her tears while defending her mother: "Miss, my mother is not such a ruthless person...... My younger brother is a boy, and I will inherit my father's family business in the future, I am his sister, I can't let him live a poor life for the rest of his life, as long as my younger brother can have a good income, even if I am a cow and a horse, I am willing......"

Before Wen Yi could react to her words, Cuihua already thumped it with hatred: "You fool!" Your mother is partial to your brother, why don't you know that it hurts?! Being a girl, you can't compare with now, you can't talk or eat according to your heart, and you have to kowtow to people everywhere! My grandfather once said that only the most ruthless fathers and mothers in the world would sell their children to others as slaves! ”

Yunni was beaten a few times by her, and cried out in pain: "My mother is not a bad person...... I also hope that my brother will be ......."

Old Madam Lu frowned when she heard this, what she paid attention to was not the Qin widow selling her daughter, if the Qin family was really anxious to ask for money, it was not a strange thing to sell her daughter, Hengzhu's own family was not treating her subordinates lightly, then Qin Yunni fell into her own house, it was better than selling it to other families, besides, she was planning to buy a girl for her granddaughter recently, this Qin Yunni knows the roots, and she is diligent, which is much stronger than the one bought outside. It's just that she listened to what this Qin widow just said, and felt that something was wrong, could it be that this Qin widow's husband's family actually had a background? If this is the case, the other party may not be able to tolerate her daughter being a slave in another family, and in the future, Widow Qin will find her relatives and will take her daughter back after all, so the girl she added to her granddaughter will be meaningless!

After thinking about it, she felt that it was better to determine whether Widow Qin planned to sign a living deed or a death deed for her daughter, the value of the death deed was higher, but if she signed the living deed, this girl would not stay for long.

She was about to speak, but suddenly heard her granddaughter say, "In order to repay your kindness, you gave away your valuable property for nothing?!" Obviously anxious to wait for money, but he still can't bear to sell his daughter for his son?! Isn't your daughter your flesh and blood? Your husband's family recognized his son, but he didn't recognize his daughter?! You're not afraid to see them lose money! You know, if Yunnie sells herself to my house, even if you ransom her out in the future, she won't be able to wash away the stain of being a slave in this life! She hesitated, feeling that her granddaughter seemed to have something else in mind, so she decided to take a look first.

Widow Qin listened to Wen Yi's words, tears were in her eyes, she reluctantly glanced at her daughter again, and said in a trembling voice: "There is nothing unpleasant to be a girl...... The little woman used to be a girl...... Not to mention...... The old lady is a good person, and the young lady is also a good person, Yun Nier is working in your house, and the little woman can rest assured......"

Wen Yi remembered that her grandmother had said that Widow Qin was very likely to be a maid from a big family, so she knew that the other party really didn't care about her daughter being a girl. She glanced at Winnie in silence, not understanding why the little girl was so resentful and speaking for her mother who was planning to sell her.

Cuihua was in a hurry, stomped her feet, turned her head to look outside the courtyard, and suddenly ran out, picked up a little boy of four or five years old from the crowd, ran back to the house and put it down, and said loudly to him: "Look! Your mother is going to sell your sister! Why don't you speak?! Don't you like your sister the most?! ”

Widow Qin hurriedly hugged her son and exclaimed, "Cuihua, what are you going to do?!" You're going to scare him! And he went and coaxed his son. The boy seemed to be a little frightened, his little face was pale, and his little nose twitched, as if he was about to cry.

When Mrs. Lu saw the appearance of the child, her brows furrowed. It was the first time she had seen this boy, and usually Widow Qin seemed to protect him very tightly, and easily refused to let him see anyone. He doesn't look like his mother, nor like his sister, he has a weak and delicate air, thin and small, and seems to have some deficiencies, obviously four or five years old, but he can't even speak and salute, he only knows that he is shrunk in his mother's arms, and the granddaughter of the village chief obviously didn't do anything, but he looked frightened. If she didn't know that he was the son of the Qin widow, she would still think that he was the golden grandson of a wealthy family! is so pampered, it doesn't look like a child of a farmer's family at all!

But Wen Yi was taken aback at this time! This is the first time she has seen this child, that facial features, that appearance, although she is delicate, thin and weak, but how can those eyebrows and eyes be a little similar to the murderer who killed her in her previous life?! She looked closely, but it didn't look so much like it. The murderer has a square chin, but the child's chin is pointy, and his eyes are big, and then look at Widow Qin and Yunni, both mother and daughter have round faces and look similar, could it be that this boy Xiao's father?! But Wen Yi thought about it carefully, and felt that her age was not right. When she was killed in her previous life, she had already passed her twenty-third birthday, looking at the man's appearance, it seemed that his age was especially above her, at least it was almost the same, but looking at the age of this child, after thirteen years, he would only be seventeen or eighteen years old, if he said that it was his father, it was not right, was it...... Is it his brother?!

Thinking of this, Wen Yi couldn't help biting her lip. If it was someone related to the murderer, she would never be able to contain Qin Yunni! Originally, she couldn't understand Widow Qin's decision to sell her daughter, but now she hardened her heart and turned her head to her grandmother and said, "Grandmother, my granddaughter thinks this house is good, doesn't Aunt Zhang always say that she can't find a suitable house in the village?" Why don't you just buy it? According to the market price, it is expensive to sell this land for forty taels, let's give it to Qin's sister-in-law at fifty taels, if someone else wants it, ask him to pay a higher price! ”

Widow Qin wanted to interject when she heard this, but Wen Yi glared at her fiercely: "What? You don't want to sell?! Why?! The real estate official who has no owner has to take it back! Or have you already sold it to someone else?! ”

Widow Qin hurriedly said: "Miss, you can't do this, I promised to give it away......"

Wen Yi sneered: "Then ask that person to tell me!" How? With the money, you still want to sell your daughter? How much do you hate this daughter, even if you have money in your hand, you still want to sell her?! Could it be that she is not your own?! No wonder, you only favor your son, but you don't care about your daughter! ”

When she said this, the Qin widow was full of grief, and she cried when she hugged her children: "Miss, you have to speak with your conscience, how can my flesh and bones not hurt?!" I can't help it......"

No matter how she cried, Cuihua interjected: "Miss, you are a good person, just do it!" My brother will not take this house if he finds out! After that, he turned around and shouted: "Mother, did you say?!" ”

The crowd of onlookers was in a commotion, revealing a middle-aged woman hiding behind, who laughed unnaturally when she heard this: "Of course! Who knew that my sister-in-law was going to sell her daughter?! Sister-in-law, you have a problem, you should have said it a long time ago?! Isn't the family still going to help you?! ”

Cuihua excitedly turned back to Widow Qin and said, "Aunt Gan, did you hear that?!" Our family doesn't want your house anymore, the eldest lady wants to buy your house, and if you have money, don't sell Winier anymore! ”

Widow Qin's face was full of tears, and she didn't know what to say. Wen Yi calmed down a little, softened her tone as much as possible, and said: "You have fifty taels of travel expenses, even if you go to the edge of the world, it is more than enough, since you are a godnephew who wants to get married, you give him a congratulatory gift, it must be no problem, people may not really want you an old house!" ”

Widow Qin lowered her head and nodded slightly, Yun Ni suddenly hugged her mother and cried loudly, Cuihua's eyes were red, and she slapped her again: "Obviously don't want to...... What are you doing not to speak?! ”

Wen Yi twisted her head, but she couldn't help but turn back and stare at the boy again, and when she saw that he looked ignorant, she bit her lip. At this time, she suddenly heard her grandmother calling herself, and hurriedly walked to her grandmother's side, only to remember that she hadn't asked her what the old man meant, so she spent fifty taels to go out, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Old Madam Lu was not angry, she lived in this house to her liking, if fifty taels were in Guzhuang, it would be impossible to buy such a large courtyard, this transaction was not a loss, but her granddaughter's thoughts made her a little uneasy: "Didn't grandmother say that she wanted to buy you a girl?" This Winnie is good, don't you like it? ”

Wen Yi shook her head and stopped talking. She couldn't tell her grandmother why she didn't buy Yunni, so she had to make an excuse: "My granddaughter is sorry for Yunni...... In fact, his family didn't need to sell their daughter...... It's also a good thing to let the people in the village know that our family is a kind family......"

But the approach of Fang Cai's granddaughter is more like a domineering and unreasonable family. Old Madam Lu smiled helplessly, planning to teach her in the future, but in front of so many people, there was no need to fall on her granddaughter's face. She called Uncle Zhang and ordered him to go to the county yamen to find a reliable bookstore to handle the contract for the house to be transferred, and instructed the widow Qin to come and get the silver after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she sent everyone away.

When the room was quiet again, Mrs. Lu called her granddaughter and wanted to blame her for something wrong with her attitude, but before she could speak, Aunt Zhang called outside the door again. She asked with some displeasure, "What's going on?!" ”

Aunt Zhang cautiously, with a little excitement, replied: "Old lady, is it ...... It's someone from the village! No...... The small one refers to Gu Zhuang! It's the second room and the fourth old man who sent someone! ”
