Chapter 58: Woo Woo... Mother, don't sell Yu'er
Being stared at like this by Hualou's mother, Mo Yu was so frightened that she retracted her head and hid her whole person behind Shen Qiushui.
Hualou's mother is very good at looking at people, Mo Yu was born so standard at a young age, and when she grows up, she must be a captivating city, she really doesn't want to let go of such a good seedling.
Seeing Mo Yu's face, Hualou's mother retracted her gaze in disappointment, straightened her waist and said to Shen Qiushui:
"In this way, you sell the child to me, the price is good, I only want this little girl."
Hualou's mother thought that the reason why Shen Qiushui came to Hualou to have a child last time was mostly because she bought the other party's son together
If she had known that Shen Qiushui would be so rigid, she would only buy girls.
The boy is dispensable to her, and what she likes the most is the little girl behind the other party.
Seeing that Shen Qiushui lowered her eyes and didn't speak, Hualou's mother thought that the other party was moved by her own words, and continued to speak: "That's it, a fixed price, fifty taels of silver." ”
"This price is not low, you can't earn fifty taels in your life. The children are not bad with me, the food and accommodation are the best, and they can learn a lot of things......"
"Heh, what to learn from you, how to pick up customers!" The corners of Shen Qiushui's mouth twitched, and he smiled coldly.
She raised her eyes, her face full of mockery.
Hualou's mother was annoyed and angry by what she said, and pointed at Shen Qiushui with a trembling finger: "Don't be ignorant!" ”
"Get out of here, I raised my daughter myself!" Shen Qiushui waved away the other party's hand and glared angrily.
Hualou's mother didn't stand firmly, her outstretched hand was waved back, she staggered a few steps, and finally held on to the door frame to stabilize her figure.
The anger just came up, making her forget about Shen Qiushui's methods, and there was still a slight touch on her hand, and she was afraid for a while.
A few passers-by gathered around to watch the excitement.
Buying and selling children is disgraceful, and on the bright side, it will be spurned.
Facing the pointing and pointing of passers-by, Hualou's mother couldn't stay any longer, she hid the fear in her eyes, glanced at Shen Qiushui before leaving, and left a sentence:
"You better think about it, fifty taels is a lot, I'm waiting for you in Hualou."
After saying this, without waiting for Shen Qiushui's reaction, he left without looking back.
Hualou's mother's attitude was obviously still beating Mo Yu's idea, Shen Qiushui's fists were clenched, but the initiator had already left, and the anger in her heart could not be attacked.
There were several passers-by standing at the door watching the excitement, blocking the business of the rice grain shop, and the shopkeeper came forward to pick people up.
After calming down, Shen Qiushui turned around.
Mo Yu looked at his mother-in-law, her eyes were red, and after meeting Shen Qiushui's gaze, she couldn't hold back and cried loudly.
Rushed towards Shen Qiushui and hugged her thighs tightly.
"Uh......h Mother, don't sell Yu'er, Yu'er is useful, Yu'er can do a lot of things......" Mo Yu almost hung on Shen Qiushui's thigh, crying, and the words that came out of his mouth were a little vague.
Although the two children are young, they already know what it means to sell their children, and Mrs. Mo used to say that she was going to sell them in front of the two children.
Mo Dong also seemed to be infected by Mo Yu's emotions, pursed his lips tightly, and looked at his sister who was crying.
The little girl's crying pear blossoms brought rain, and Shen Qiushui was distressed.
Hurriedly took the child into his arms and coaxed him.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Shen Qiushui wiped the little girl's tears with her hands.
The child was like water made of water, the tears on his face had not been wiped away, and the tears in his eyes welled up again.
"Mother's ......" Mo Yu hugged Shen Qiushui's neck hard, holding back the tears in her eyes, and didn't let it fall, "Don't sell Yu'er, Yu'er is obedient, don't cry......"
Having said that, how can the tears be held back, after the eyes are full, the extra tears still fall down.
In order to hold back her crying, the little girl's little face turned red, and Shen Qiushui's heart was broken.
"Yu'er is the heart and soul of my mother's baby, how could my mother sell her eyes, good girl, let's not cry." Shen Qiushui gently coaxed Mo Yu.
"Really?" Mo Yu approached Shen Qiushui's cheek and asked in disbelief, "But that aunt wants to give her mother fifty taels ......."
There are also people in the village who can't survive and can only sell their sons and daughters, and the price of selling is only a few taels, compared to the temptation of fifty taels.
"Really, my mother won't sell Yu'er even if she sells herself." Shen Qiushui stared at Mo Yu and gave an affirmative answer.
"Yu'er likes her mother the most." Mo Yu received a satisfactory answer, instantly turned from crying to laughter, leaned close to Shen Qiushui's cheek, pouted, and shyly buried his head in Shen Qiushui's arms.
Feeling the kiss on the cheek, Shen Qiushui's heart softened, and he rubbed the back of the little girl's head.
At this time, Mo Dong stepped forward and pulled Mo Yu's feet.
Mo Yu raised his head and turned his head to look at Mo Dong, keenly feeling that Mo Dong was a little unhappy, and hurriedly added in a milky voice: "Yu'er also likes her brother the most~"
"Who, who wants you to like it." Mo Dong twisted his head to the side.
The baby fat on Mo Dong's face made Shen Qiushui's hands itch, so he couldn't help it, so he reached out and gently pinched it.
Mo Dong's face was slightly hot.
"Guest officer, are you still buying food?" The shopkeeper asked.
"Buy." Shen Qiushui nodded, put down Mo Yu, who had already been coaxed, and followed the shopkeeper to a few open burlap bags.
Soybeans, wheat, brown rice and other grains are almost all available.
In the middle is the bag of rose rice that Hualou's mother asked for before.
Shen Qiushui stepped forward and grabbed a handful.
She found out that the so-called rose rice was purple rice.
"How much is this?" Shen Qiushui asked curiously.
It is obviously not cheap to be able to give this rice a nice name.
The shopkeeper gestured to Shen Qiushui, and Shen Qiushui understood in seconds.
Sure enough, it is an IQ tax, which does not pit the poor, but only the rich.
Shen Qiushui threw the rice back into the bag.
The shopkeeper who was in charge of receiving Hualou's mother hurriedly ran over.
"I'm sorry, this kind of rice has already been sold in Hualou." The shopkeeper spoke to Shen Qiushui, and immediately beckoned someone to move the bag of rice after speaking.
Shen Qiushui didn't plan to buy this, she nodded, took two steps to the side, and made room for Xiao Er to move the purple rice away.
Shen Qiushui was picking up the grain, and he couldn't make up his mind about buying it for a while.
She is most inclined to buy rice, but rice is the most expensive in the shop. In the village, even the richest village chief does not have the financial resources to eat rice every day.
Almost all of the rice grown by the villagers is sold.
Shen Qiushui suddenly remembered what Granny Luo had said to her before going out.
Granny Luo knew that they were going to come to the county seat to buy grain, so she specially told Shen Qiushui that there were still a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes hidden in the cellar, so that they could buy less grain and save some money.
Shen Qiushui used the little money in his hand to buy a sack of aged rice and two large bags of wheat, and then asked the shopkeeper to fill a few catties of beans.
