Chapter 12: What is the Truth?
readx;?“ Hmph! You are a bunch of poor people who have no land and no land, and you can't afford to support so many people. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I helped you find a rich man in a neighboring county, and this rich man has a lot of money. Now his family wants to find a personal maid for his daughter, but they have paid a full five taels of silver, and they only signed a five-year living deed. With this money you will have enough money for a year or two. It is precisely because of our family that you have picked up such a big bargain, and you don't thank us for it, and you don't know how to lift it up like this!" Dong Erlang said confidently.
If Ziluo hadn't lived for two lives, he would have been deceived by him.
"We don't lack this silver, as for whether we have anything to eat, we don't have to worry about you, second uncle. Ziluo said.
"That's right, Ah Luo is right, you don't have to worry about whether we will starve to death or not, get out of here for me. Zi Xuan heard Zi Tao say something in the backyard, which would be angry. They dared to fight the eldest sister's idea.
"Second uncle, if there is nothing wrong, Zishu will not keep you. Zishu said.
"You people who don't know what to do, can you afford to raise so many people? Be careful to starve to death. Dong Erlang couldn't help but panic when he saw that they didn't appreciate it, which was different from what they thought before. Thinking to themselves, they heard that they had found a good place for their eldest sister, so that not only could they save one person's rations, but also five taels of silver. Shouldn't they be grateful to him? Maybe he will never understand the deep brother-sister relationship between Ziluo and them in his life.
"How can the head of the family, their children's family, understand these things, this has to be our elders' ideas. When the time comes, if the village chief asks about it, we say so, and I believe that the village chief will also understand our painstaking efforts. Dong Huang reminded her husband.
Before, she was stunned by Ziluo's words all of a sudden, but now that she understands it, as long as she is not exposed by everyone on the spot, it is not up to her to decide what to say afterwards. It's just that some people suspect but there is no evidence, so she doesn't believe that someone will walk hundreds of miles to verify.
As soon as Ziluo heard Dong Huang's words, she knew that they wanted to rob them. If she had only suspected that their motives were not so pure, now it is almost certain that they must have had an unknown purpose. Zi Luo knew that it would be difficult to stop Dong Huang and them with their strength alone.
So, Ziluo took advantage of the fact that the two of them didn't pay attention to herself and Zixuan, and whispered to Zixuan: "Second brother, you go to the village chief, they may want to rob the eldest sister." ”
After hearing this, Zixuan quickly went out of the courtyard.
After listening to Dong Huang's words, Dong Erlang also understood that he had to fight quickly, and Liang and his brothers and sisters were not his opponents, so he said viciously: "Sister Wei, do you want to starve to death with your younger brothers and sisters? Come with us quickly, people won't wait for a while, and you won't have your share in such a good thing." ”
"It's best if you don't have it. Why did the second uncle suddenly care so much about us? Didn't the second uncle take any benefits from others, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it?" Ziluo asked.
"How do you talk, little girl, you don't have the right to speak. Dong Erlang was a little scared when he said that Ziluo was thinking.
"If not, the second uncle wouldn't have to react so much. I'm just talking about it. Ziluo said. She knew that at this time, she must buy time for her second brother.
Zishu, Ziwei and Zitao If they still don't suspect it when they hear this, they are really stupid, the truth is that they are not stupid, and they are very smart.
Zishu ordered the eviction of guests and said, "Second uncle, you better go." ”
"You ignorant children, in the future, you will understand your second uncle's good intentions, in charge, let's tie up Sister Wei and pull her out and hand it over to others. Dong Huang couldn't help but get angry when he saw that Zishu didn't eat oil and salt. She was afraid that the night would be long and she would dream too much, so she picked up the straw rope in the corner of the yard and instructed Dong Erlang.
As soon as Dong Erlang heard this, he was about to come forward to arrest Ziwei. Seeing this, Zishu and Zitao also hurried forward to help. For a while, everyone was in a mess. In the scramble, Zishu and the others were afraid of hurting Ziwei, so they naturally couldn't let go of their hands and feet. Besides, Dong Erlang is an adult, and he is ruthless. So, the subtrees they quickly got the upper hand. Dong Erlang dealt with Zishu and them alone, and Dong Huang's went to tie up Ziwei, seeing that Dong Huang's had tied Ziwei up, he was about to go out the door.
Ziluo knew that once they were asked to take the eldest sister away, the consequences would be serious. At this time, even if they call for help, their home is relatively remote, and I am afraid it will be too late.
Ziluo, who was in a hurry, picked up the wooden stick by the courtyard gate and said in front of the door: "If you dare to take away our eldest sister, I will fight with you." If you kill someone, I don't think you will have any good fruit to eat. ”
Zi Tao and Zi Shu also quickly ran to Zi Luo's side, making a desperate posture to find them if they dared to take another step forward.
Dong Erlang and Dong Huang couldn't help but hesitate when they saw this, they were also afraid that things would make a big fuss, and they were afraid that they would really be in trouble at that time.
In their stalemate, Zixuan led the village chief and a few people from the village to arrive. The village chief saw that Dong Erlang and the brothers and sisters of Zishu were in a stalemate, and said, "Dong Erlang, what are you two making trouble about?"
Ziluo was half relieved when she saw Zixuan and them arriving, but she was afraid that Dong Erlang would quibble, after all, the reason they found was still tenable, and she was afraid that everyone would be deceived by them. She was afraid that everyone would agree with Dong Erlang and let them send the eldest sister to be a maid. Therefore, she must expose Dong Erlang's tricks in order to save the eldest sister.
"Hey, village chief, you're here. Although Dong Erlang was dissatisfied with the village chief's meddling, he didn't dare to offend the village chief now that he was living under the management of the village chief. So, he had to laugh.
"Hmph, what's the matter with you? What do you think this looks like? What the hell is going on?" said the village chief.
At this time, Ziluo and Zitao hurried over to untie Ziwei.
Dong Huang was afraid that Dong Erlang would say the wrong thing, so he rushed in front of Dong Erlang and said: "The village chief is like this, you see that our group of nephews and nieces have no father and mother, and they have no land or land, only one acre of the most barren dry land, how can this little land support this large group of children." Every time I think of this, we can't sleep all night, the previous thing is just a misunderstanding, this is not the family's classmate to help Sister Wei find a decent and profitable job. Now there is a rich man from a neighboring county, and this rich man has a lot of money. Now his family wants to find a personal maid for his daughter, but they have paid a full five taels of silver, and they only signed a five-year living deed. You see, you can earn one or two taels of silver this year, and there are two hundred wen a month, which is much more than a strong laborer. With this silver, Brother Shu'er and they don't have to worry about food and clothing. No, the children are not sensible, and they quarrel with us because of some misunderstandings. ”
Dong Huang's words can be described as beautiful, not only explaining why they are here, but also making people speechless for this reasonable reason, but also implying that Ziluo's brothers and sisters are unreasonable and ignorant.
Although the village chief couldn't fully believe Dong Huang's words, he couldn't help but admit that she was reasonable, and the situation of Brother Shu'er's family was indeed not optimistic.
Ziluo saw that the expression on the village chief's face was shaken, and she couldn't help but get anxious. So, Ziluo said: "Grandpa the village chief, it's not like this, the second uncle is going to kidnap the eldest sister when they enter the door, we are all scared, and Ah Luo is afraid." Ziluo's words successfully refuted Dong Huang's suggestion that their brother and sister were unreasonable just now, and also made the people present doubt Dong Huang's words just now.
"Grandpa the village chief, it's not that Zishu doesn't know what to do, but the second uncle's statement that they want to take away the eldest sister can't make us believe it. Grandpa the village chief, we heard that it is sold for one person now, and the death deed is only four or five taels of silver. There are still five taels of the five-year living deed, and we really can't believe it easily. Zishu's words made everyone look at Dong Huang's previous words anew.
Ziluo originally wanted to remind everyone of this, but because she was too young, she didn't dare to say it directly, and now she can't help but relax when she sees her eldest brother so smart.
"Dong Erlang, where are they from this family you are talking about, and what is their surname? The village chief said.
"This 。。。。。。 This...... "Dong Erlang is stuck.
He remembered that there was a rich man who helped his daughter find a maid, so he agreed to say that this was also the will of God, and the family was also very sympathetic to Brother Shu'er and their suffering, so they moved their hearts of compassion, and this was a good thing like a five-year living contract. Dong Huang was afraid of Dong Erlang's bad things, so he hurriedly said.
Although the village chief didn't like Dong Huang's stealing the conversation, he couldn't help but believe it a little when he heard what she said. So he asked, "What is the surname of that family, and where is it?"
"This is a family surnamed Lin in a neighboring county. Dong Huang replied.
After hearing this, the village chief said: "If it's true, it's really a good thing, but the neighboring county is a little far away, and it's not good for Brother Shu'er and them to visit Sister Wei." So, he asked Zishu, "What do you think of Brother Shu?"
"Grandpa, the village chief, I am dissatisfied with you that Zishu promised his father and mother that he would take good care of his sisters and brothers, so as long as Zishu has a bite to eat, he will never let his younger brothers and sisters starve to death. Zishu is here to thank everyone for Zishu's consideration, but Zishu will not agree to let the eldest sister be a slave, Zishu would rather suffer more by himself. Zishu replied.
Although everyone was moved by Zishu's heart, they didn't agree with his approach. In these years, not to mention that there is no father and no mother, even those who have fathers and mothers have sold their children because of the poverty of the family, and Zishu himself is a half-grown child, how can he support his sisters and brothers?
"Brother Shu, you yourself are a half-grown child, what do you use to support your sisters and brothers? Do you still expect everyone to support your younger brothers and sisters? Instead of starving to death, it is better to let Sister Wei go to the rich man's house to work. Aunt Pan in the village asked, she was already dissatisfied with the people in the village for Zishu's mother to do the funeral, and their family had to pay 50 yuan, she was afraid that in the future, Zishu and they would have to feed if they couldn't afford to eat.
"Brother Shu, we know that you love your brothers and sisters, but you also have to consider your family's situation!" At this time, Second Uncle Hu in the village also said.
Seeing that the remarks were about to be one-sided, Ziluo couldn't help but be anxious.
