Li Xiuniang felt that she had split into two parts-

Reason told her that she would stay away from the Gu family, and would rather starve to death than have anything to do with the Zhao family again.

But the instinct of the body is frantically shouting: Hunger! I'm so hungry! I want to eat! I—I don't want to die.

Pinching her palms hard, she desperately told herself not to plead with her enemies.

However, the body reacts one step faster than her brain.

Thump!

Li Xiuniang and a few little girls who were also dizzy with hunger rushed to the woman holding the girl baby.

Kneeling heavily on the ground, his forehead kept knocking on the ground: "Buy me, auntie, please, just buy me!" ”

"I—I can do the job! I don't eat much, and I can still endure hardship! Just give me a bite to eat! ”

"Auntie, I've come to Kwai Shui, I, I can have a baby!"

"And me, I, I don't want anything, just stutter!"

A few little girls, with all their strength, shouted loudly.

Their eyes are full of begging, just to grasp the only glimmer of life.

Li Xiuniang is also among them, and she still has a trace of hatred in her previous life.

She knelt down in accordance with her body's instincts, but she couldn't say anything about her pleas.

"Oh, don't rob it! What to rob? I—I didn't say I wanted to buy it? ”

Zhao is in her Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and some of the women her age have become grandmothers.

But she was still last year, when the old clam gave birth to pearls and got a baby girl.

When the girl was born, she was so small, not to mention how good-looking she looked.

The key is that the girl is blessed, and when she was still in her mother's womb, she saved the lives of the whole family.

It was when she was seven or eight months pregnant, and she was fine in the morning, but by noon, the child in her belly kept making noise.

kicked in the stomach again, turned over again, and Zhao was so tossed that he couldn't stand it.

Gu Dahai, the man in her family, was a little worried, "The child is so noisy, don't you want to come out?" Or is there something uncomfortable? ”

For this child who came suddenly, Gu Dahai was also very concerned.

He is a few years older than Zhao, and he has already passed the age of not being confused.

In ancient times, when the average life expectancy was not high, forty years old was the age when you could call yourself an "old man", and you were an "old man".

Especially their Zhuang family, they are not as fine as those nobles, and they look very old.

But at such an age, he can still get his daughter-in-law pregnant, which is enough to prove that he is not old.

Men who are about the same age as him are ridiculous and secretly envious.

Gu Dahai was very proud.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to this child.

Seeing that his wife was tossed enough, Gu Dahai, who had always been thrifty, took the initiative to propose, "Otherwise, let's go to the town's medical hall to have a look!" ”

Although Zhao felt sorry for the money, it was himself who suffered, so he agreed.

The two sons were also sensible, and hurriedly helped their father pack up the donkey cart, and then helped Zhao to get on the donkey cart.

A family of four left home in a hurry.

As soon as they walked on their front feet, wild boars from the mountains broke into the village on their back feet.

The Gu family is at the foot of the mountain, the outermost part of the village.

The wild boar rushed to Gu's house first, knocking down the adobe courtyard wall.

When the family returned from the town, before they entered the village, they heard crying from a distance.

The boar killed a child and maimed a young man.

And these two are neighbors of the Gu family.

When Gu Dahai and Zhao heard their neighbor's cry, their faces turned white with fright.

Looking at the collapsed courtyard wall, I am even more afraid: fortunately they are not at home, otherwise, the children who were killed by fangs, or the people who were trampled on and broke their legs, would be them!

Especially Zhao, she is pregnant.

If someone else can run, can she still run?

Even if you can run, if you fall, it will be a corpse with two lives.

"Daddy, thanks to the baby in the womb. If it weren't for her, our family would be in great trouble! ”

The frightened Zhao family, his mind turned extremely fast, and he suddenly thought of the "heroes" who their family was able to escape.

"That's right! Right, right! Thanks to this kid! ”

If it weren't for the child's fuss, Zhao wouldn't have screamed in pain.

If she didn't call, Gu Dahai wouldn't be worried and take her to the hospital.

If the family doesn't go to the hospital and stay at home, then—

Looking at the neighbor's child who died tragically, and then looking at the man with a broken leg, Gu Dahai and his wife were very happy.

Even the two brothers, Gu Feng and Gu Rao, also nodded again and again.

In this way, before he was born, the child in his belly became a hero and a lucky star of the Gu family.

More than a month later, the little guy fell to the ground, born white and pure, and his eyebrows and eyes were so delicate that he couldn't speak.

"This is the daughter I gave birth to? Why is it so like the golden boy and jade girl under the Guanyin seat? ”

It stands to reason that a small baby can't see beauty or ugliness.

However, the daughter born by the Zhao family is so good-looking, and everyone who has seen it can't help but admire:

is so white and so good-looking, isn't it the reincarnation of a fairy daughter in the sky?

Not to mention their small Gujia Village, even if you look at the entire county, it is estimated that you can't find such a good-looking child.

is an "old girl" who attaches great importance to it, coupled with the grace of saving lives, coupled with the fact that the child was born well, the Gu family almost wanted to hold her in the palm of their hands and put it in their mouths.

For example, at this moment, if other children are "messing around" with their mothers, saying that they want to buy a girl or something, the mother will definitely raise her hand and slap her ass twice.

As for Gu Qingcheng, the little daughter of the Gu family, not only did she not attract Zhao's scolding, but Zhao didn't even say anything serious.

Zhao's slightly mean face even had a loving smile, and coaxed softly, "Good baby, let's not look at this." Mother buys you candy to eat. ”

"Sugar! To eat! ”

Gu Qingcheng, who has just turned one year old, has a white face, delicate facial features, thick eyebrows and dark hair.

There was a faint shadow of Zhao between her eyebrows and eyes, but she was more than ten times more beautiful than her.

The Zhao family is very proud, the girl is like her, but she is not as beautiful as a peasant child, but more noble than the wife and lady in the city.

When the little child heard the candy, he was really diverted and slapped two powdery, fleshy little slaps, "I want to eat sugar candy!" ”

Buying a girl or something, she has been thrown aside.

Several thin girls kneeling in front of Zhao's saw this situation, and their eyes were full of despair.

Their last shred of life has also been cut off!

Li Xiuniang couldn't say what she felt, she shouldn't be happy if she didn't have anything to do with the Gu family.

But, she's really hungry.

The fire in her stomach, scratching her heart and liver, and extreme hunger have swallowed up her reason, the resentment of her previous life, and her dignity and bottom line as a human being.

She grabbed the hem of Zhao's skirt, "Auntie! Please, buy me. I can be a child bride for your family. ”

Zhao was stunned for a moment, child daughter-in-law?

Yes, the last two years have been bad, and there are still many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Gu Feng, the eldest of her family, is fourteen years old this year, and it is time to say goodbye.

And the girls around it, the dowry costs two dollars of silver.

Her family has a little savings, but she can't give it all as a dowry.

Her little girl also has to eat fine grains, eat eggs, wear fine cotton clothes, and keep the money for her.

Why don't you give a few catties of coarse grain and go back to a girl who has fled?

If you are competent and honest, stay at home.

If it doesn't work out, you can sell it.

Just when Zhao was crackling and dialing the abacus, the other girls were also inspired and shouted around Zhao:

"Auntie! I can do it too! I'm here to Kwai Shui, I, I can have a baby! ”

"Auntie, I can work and be obedient! Pick me! ”

Several people are desperately trying to sell themselves, not wanting to miss this only opportunity at all.

It's still Li Xiuniang, who has the memory of her previous life, and suddenly thought of something, and shouted at the little milk baby in Zhao's arms: "Good baby, choose me, I'll play with you, I, I'll serve you!" ”

Hearing the voice, Gu Qingcheng, who was muttering sugar in his mouth, noticed Li Xiuniang.

However, the other girls reacted quickly, and they all yelled at Gu Qingcheng.

Some even deliberately made grimaces to amuse Gu Allure.

Gu Qingcheng was really amused, and his good-looking eyebrows and eyes were crooked.

Zhao saw that her baby daughter was happy, and she laughed too.

After Gu Qingcheng finished laughing, a pair of big watery eyes swept over the faces of several girls one by one.

All the girls who were touched by her gaze couldn't help but hold their breath.

They know that whether they can survive depends on this little milk baby with only a few teeth.

Li Xiuniang clenched her fists and smiled flatteringly at the vicious sister-in-law who was once resentful.

Xu is her stiff smile made her black face look a little weird, and Gu Qingcheng's gaze really stayed on her.

Then, Li Xiuniang heard the voice she had longed for for a long time: "Mother, I want her!" ”
