Yesterday, Xiao Fan took Jia Quan to sit in the carriage driven by Jia San and prepared to go to Zhao's tea shop.

As a result, I heard a woman's beating and scolding and a girl's heart-rending cry on the way.

"I'll kill you with no conscience, I raised you so big, isn't it your turn to repay our family now?" The woman scolded while beating: "Your brother wants to marry, everything has been negotiated, now only the dowry money is needed, your brother can get married and have children, and pass on the lineage, can't you help your brother?" ”

"Mother! I don't want to leave you! I want to be there for you, mother! Don't sell me! Mother! The girl cried and pleaded with the woman who was dragging her, and as if she thought of something, she quickly said, "Mother! I'm grown up now, I can work, I can make money, mother! Don't sell me, I'll earn money for my eldest brother to marry my sister-in-law! ”

"Mother, forget it, forget it, if Zhao'er doesn't want to, forget it, don't force her." A thin teenager next to him pleaded for his sister.

"Shut up, if you don't sell her, what will you marry Cui'er? If you don't marry a lady, what will you do to pass on the lineage? The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he pushed the young man away and continued to shout: "Do you think that our Qian family will not succeed?" ”

The young man stopped talking on the side, maybe he was forced by his mother's obscenity, maybe he remembered the Cui'er in the woman's mouth, or maybe it was for the so-called inheritance, he didn't object to his mother anymore, so he watched silently.

"Let's go, if you don't leave, I'll kill you as a money-loser!" When the woman saw that her son was no longer talking, she continued to drag her daughter away.

"Wait!" Xiao Fan shouted, and when he heard the sound of scolding, he asked Jia San to stop and walk down, and then he saw that the woman was going to beat and scold the girl again, so he had to stop it. And the people around all looked at this family in surprise, as if they had long been accustomed to it.

"You count...... Who are you? Why should I mind my family's business? The woman opened her mouth when she heard this, but when she saw Xiao Fan's clothes and the carriage behind her, she quickly changed her words. This is a rich and noble family, and she can't afford to mess with it.

"Isn't this your daughter? You can't bear to pull her to sell? Xiao Fan said angrily: "And your daughter is still so reluctant to you, is your heart made of stone?" ”

"Don't talk to me about this, I want my son to get married and have children, who cares about her losing money." The woman became more and more righteous as she spoke, and sneered: "You look like a rich man, if you can't bear it, you can buy this dead girl, and you can take it back to the house and raise it for a while, and then use it as a bed warmer." ”

Xiao Fan turned his head to look at the girl, and only then did he carefully observe the girl. She looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, her skin was a little dark, she was dressed in a thin short-knit linen dress, her arms and calves were exposed, and she was blue and purple. The hair was scattered and dry, slightly yellow, and the dusty face was plowed into two small grooves by tears. A pair of slightly rough little hands held the woman, and the good-looking Danfeng pleaded with tears in her eyes. But he seemed to think of his mother's determination to sell himself, so he looked at Xiao Fan with expectant eyes. I probably think that the yamani in front of him looks like a good person, and he should be a good master.

"Okay," Xiao Fan looked at the girl's eyes, then looked at the woman who was smiling sarcastically and said, "I bought it, how much does it cost?" ”

"Not much, just twenty!" When the woman saw that Xiao Fan wanted to buy her daughter, she hurriedly changed her face and looked at Xiao Fan with a flattering expression.

"Twenty runs? Such a big little lady is sold by others for fifteen at most! You sell twenty pieces, why don't you grab it? Xiao Fan didn't say anything, but Jia San behind him stepped forward and said excitedly: "Official, this poisonous woman clearly wants to slander people." ”

"That's right, I actually want to sell twenty pieces, I'm afraid I'm not crazy!" "That's it, that's it!" "I see, this woman is trying to slander this official."

When the onlookers heard the woman's offer of twenty pounds, they all talked about it.

"Say what? Why isn't it worth twenty times? So saying, the woman squatted down, wiped the girl's face with her hands, then brushed her yellow hair aside, took her chin and squeezed it vigorously, and cried out, "Look at this face, this tooth, this is only twelve years old." When I grow up and get better, I will take on a few years of customers. Not to mention one hundred and eighty times, it's no problem to earn fifty or sixty times, right? ”

After listening to the woman's words, the girl looked at her mother in disbelief, and her eyes were frozen in focus.

"What are you looking at me like that? Kill you, a money-loser who kills a thousand knives! When the woman saw the maiden looking at her like this, she raised her hand in anger and was about to strike her again.

"Stop, you're really her good mother!" Xiao Fan grabbed the woman's raised hand and gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Twenty is twenty, follow me to find Li Zheng and sign the deed with the toothman!" ”

"Okay, good, the official is really a distressed lord, and this is starting to feel distressed." After the woman finished laughing at Xiao Fan, she said to the girl: "You are also blessed, when you meet such a distressed official, don't forget who raised you when you live a rich life in the future, especially your brother, he has loved you since he was a child, and your brother, you hurt him when you were young!" ”

Xiao Fan felt sick when he heard the woman's words, and said sharply: "Okay, don't rub it off, follow my carriage, and hurry up to sign the deed." Then you take the money and get out quickly, don't dirty the eyes of the officials. ”

Under the witness of Li Zheng and his neighbors, Xiao Fan and the woman signed the deed of sale for Qian Zhao'er. At this time, Xiao Fan knew that this woman's name was Dong Shuhui, and she was really blind with such a name.

"Xiao Guanren, my family Zhao'er has a hard life, you have to treat her well in the future," Dong Shuhui, who got the money, said to Xiao Fan and then said to Qian Zhao'er: "Zhao'er, mother's good daughter, remember to listen to Xiao Guanren's words in the future, serve him well, and don't forget your brother and your brother!" ”

"Get out!" Xiao Fan said angrily, he had never seen such a brazen person, it simply refreshed his three views, a person can be faceless and skinless to such a point.

"Okay, I'll get out." Dong Shuhui said with a smile, and after speaking, she pulled the thin young man who had been silent next to her and turned away, counting her son as she walked: "You still say that you don't sell your sister, if you don't sell her, you can have so much money?" If you don't have this money, what will you use to marry Cui'er as a lady? Let's go buy you a dowry. ”

Hearing his mother's words, the gloomy face of the thin young man who had been silent stretched out. His steps have also become much lighter, before his mother pulled him forward, but now he is pulling his mother away.

After Xiao Fan thanked Li Zheng and the neighbors, everyone dispersed.

Xiao Fan looked at Qian Zhao'er who was timidly shrunk aside, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Such a twelve-year-old girl, when she had just entered junior high school, was not only sold by her family, but also beaten like this.

So he stepped forward to help her up and take her to see the doctor. As soon as she approached, Qian Zhao'er was so frightened that she subconsciously stepped back. seemed to remember that he had been sold to Xiao Fan, so he stood up and stepped forward to salute: "Official." ”

"Don't be afraid, you know? No one is bullying you anymore," Xiao Fan helped Qian Zhao'er up and said, "Let's take you to see the doctor, enter my house, don't worry about the past." ”

"Yes, little lady Qian, you don't know, my family is a good official, so I won't treat you like your mother!" The little scholar Jia Quan jumped out at this time and said, "After reading the doctor, let my mother make something to eat for you!" ”

"I know how to eat," Xiao Fan patted Jia Quan's big round head and said, "Go and ask your father to prepare the carriage, and let's take Zhao'er to see the doctor." ”

"Thank you, official!"

"Well, let's see the doctor first and then go to dinner, and as for your family, don't think about it anymore."

"I know, I'm going to kill my whole family, I have nothing to do with them in the future, and I won't call Qian Zhao'er anymore!" Qian Zhao'er said indignantly and resolutely.

"Well, you really should change your name, Zhao'er Zhao'er, you just want a son, it's really not good," Xiao Fan muttered: "That's it, you will be called Xiao Zhao in the future!" ”
