Wu Xiaoyue's eyes were desperate and disappointed.

"Mother, are you trying to sell me?"

She has always known that her father cares about her younger brother, and under the influence of her father, she has always put her younger brother in a higher position than herself.

However, this does not mean that she is willing to sacrifice her life.

My younger brother has been frail and sickly since birth, almost drinking medicine to hang himself, and his family is very poor, and many times he even scrapes together money to buy medicine.

Every time her brother fell ill, she was very scared, afraid that her father and mother would sell her for money in order to treat her brother's illness.

Although she didn't know why and how her father died, she could still guess that they were in it for money from her father's previous performance.

Dad traded his own life for money to treat his brother's illness.

Compared with it, her lifelong happiness doesn't seem to be so important, in her mother's mind, in order for her brother to continue to live, she can also sacrifice at any time, right?

Wu Xiaoyue was at a loss.

No matter how sensible and precocious she is, she is only a nine-year-old child, and the recent changes in her family have made her exhausted, and now she really doesn't know what to do when she encounters this kind of thing again.

Roche explained, "Silly child, you are the daughter born to your mother in October, and you are a piece of meat that fell from your mother's body, why is your mother willing to sell you?" ”

"My mother just wants to find a good family business for you while she is still there, and with this family business, when your mother is away, your future husband will take care of you and your brother."

"You are still so young, my mother really can't rest assured."

Wu Xiaoyue kept shaking her head.

"No, I don't want to get married, and I don't want my mother to leave, mother, can you stay? Xiaoyue can go to wash people's clothes, or show off the handkerchief to earn money, and he will definitely not let his younger brother run out of money to drink medicine. ”

Roche was resolute.

"You are still a child, and it is normal to not understand your mother's good intentions now, sooner or later, you will understand your mother's decision."

-

Soon after Wu Zhongcai was buried, Luo Shi gave his daughter a blind date in full swing, and this matter spread all over Wujia Village.

The villagers were talking.

"Did Roche go crazy after losing her husband?"

"How long has Wu Zhong been buried, it stands to reason that the children are going to keep filial piety for three years, but she is so anxious to find a husband for Xiaoyue!"

"It's ridiculous!"

"If this is spread out of the village, won't it make people from other villages laugh at the people of our Wujia Village for having no rules?"

"Just live your own life, others can do whatever they want, anyway, it has nothing to do with me, I want to see what she wants to do."

"The family has just finished the funeral, and the bad luck has not dissipated, who would be so stupid to marry their family at this time?"

"Xiaoyue looks good, and she is diligent and capable, maybe someone will really come to the door."

"You look good and can eat it as a meal?"

"Besides, no matter how good-looking she looks, she can't stand the drag of her sick younger brother, after getting married, maybe her elbow turned out, and she secretly helped her mother's brother behind her mother-in-law's back, such a daughter-in-law is unlucky, whoever marries is unlucky."

"Xiaoshan can't lift his hands, he can't pick his shoulders, and he drinks medicine all day long, ordinary people can't afford to raise it, when Wu Zhong was still there, their family had a hard time, and now that Wu Zhong is dead, can Luo Shi last alone?"

"When didn't she find a husband's house for Xiaoyue, but at this time she found a husband's house for Xiaoyue, she should want to collect a bride price, and then rely on Xiaoyue's husband's family to support her son."

"The abacus is quite loud."

"No one is stupid, marrying their family at this time is undoubtedly a burden to the family."

"I'm afraid that only the old bachelor in the village who wants to go crazy wants his daughter-in-law is willing to marry her, right?"

……

Wu Xiaoyue stood in the corner, eavesdropping on the conversation of the villagers, and when she heard the front, her heart, which seemed to be pressed by a boulder, was not so uncomfortable.

Although the words are full of disgust for her and her family, the more disgusted she is, the more no one dares to marry her, and she doesn't have to marry out.

But hearing the villagers' inadvertent speculation, her heart fell to the bottom.

Old Bachelor ......

In case no one really wants to marry her, will my mother really sell her to the old bachelor?

-

Wu Xiaoyue's marriage was confirmed in less than three days, and it was a 28-year-old widower and blind man from a neighboring village who gave the Wu family a bride price of 20 taels of silver.

The dowry of an ordinary woman is about seven or eight taels, and it is the first time in the village that a woman has married and received so much bride price.

Many people in the village were red-eyed and gathered together to say sour things.

"The blind man's ex-wife died in childbirth when he was twenty years old, leaving only one son, and now the sons are eight years old, only one year younger than Wu Xiaoyue."

"If Wu Xiaoyue marries this time, she will be a godmother to her son who is one year younger than herself!"

"Luo's heart is really ruthless, so a daughter of Shui Ling, for the bride price of twenty taels, married her to a blind man who died of her original match."

"The blind man is generous, and is willing to give a bride price of twenty taels of silver."

"Not to mention twenty taels of silver, even a bride price of thirty taels or fifty taels of silver, I can't be ruthless enough to let my daughter be his steproom!"

"Xiaoyue is also a bitter life, such a ruthless mother!"

……

Wu Xiaoyue's eyes were about to cry blind, but she still couldn't change the fact that she was hastily married to a blind man with a baby in her second marriage by her mother.

She even thought that maybe death was a relief.

Rather than marrying a man who is more than ten years older than himself and has been married once, and living in the ridicule and contempt of others for the rest of his life, it is better to get a relief as soon as possible.

Before she could find her life and death, Luo went to the county seat to surrender.

This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, smashing the heads of Wu Xiaoyue and Wu Xiaoshan, I couldn't believe that my father was really killed by my mother.

The brother and sister hugged each other and cried all night, and the next morning they packed their bags and set off to the county seat to find relatives.

-

Gu Rao didn't expect the situation to develop like this.

Although it was a happy thing that Beno finally came out safely, she knew in her heart that Roche was not the real murderer.

The people behind the command failed to calculate this time, and it is very likely that they will continue to calculate them.

She couldn't be happier.

After hesitating, he still begged Gu Qingcheng to tell him all his guesses, and begged him to continue to help him track down the real murderer.

Gu Qingcheng agreed without much thought.

"Your concerns are not unfounded."

"This case is indeed a bit strange, if you don't find the mastermind behind the scenes, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep, I don't know when that person will strike again, this time it was solved quite smoothly, next time I don't know how careful and vicious that person's plan will be."

"Hiding in the shadows is really hard to guard against."

"Tomorrow Beye will be released, let's go to the county office to pick him up, and inform the county order of our thoughts, so that he can continue to track down the real murderer."

seemed to see Gu Rao's worries.

"My father-in-law intervened in this matter, and the county order didn't dare to be as lazy as before."

Gu Rao nodded.

"I hope so."
