Chen Xiao finished eating noodles in three times and two times. When he heard that they wanted to see the deed of sale, he went back to the house to get it.

A few people entered the store and sat down, and Chunhong introduced to Fang Yu:

"This is my mother, my father, this is the fourth uncle of Lizheng Wu in our village, and this is the jewel."

Xiao Shi had seen Wu Baozhu before, and he didn't have a good impression of this girl.

Chen Xiao took the deed of sale, and Fourth Uncle Wu opened it and looked at it.

There are few literate people in their village, but he is more literate and has some prestige in the village, so he is a lizheng.

After reading it, he said: "This deed of sale cannot be counted. ”

Fang Yu said coldly: "Why can't you count?" ”

"Her father and mother are still there, and she has no right to decide whether to sell her body or not. Second, there is no official seal on this deed of sale. ”

The deed of sale is not written casually, except for the consensual parties, a third-party witness is required. Strictly speaking, it is necessary to go to the village or the government for the record.

Otherwise, kidnap a random person and force her to write a deed of sale, which will become someone else's private property from then on, and this is okay!

In this deed of sale, Xiaoshi is a third-party witness. If you don't have to talk about it, that's fine. However, Fourth Uncle Wu obviously wanted to find a reason, so he pointed out that there was no official seal.

Fang Yudao: "You can't count without a seal?" You have set this royal law? ”

Fourth Uncle Wu said unhurriedly: "Her father and mother are still there, and her father and mother don't know about her selling herself." Without the consent of his father, this deed of sale cannot be counted. ”

Fang Yu looked at Chunhong's father and asked, "Then do you agree now?" ”

The Hu family's father and mother had a cramped expression and looked embarrassed.

Chunhong hurriedly said: "Father, mother, I almost died in the mountains, but it was the owner who saved me." He fed me, clothed me, and took me to the county seat. ”

"You see, how could I have such a good dress to wear before. Now I have two sets of this kind of clothes. ”

"Also, I can eat meat every day now!"

"Father, mother, I am willing to sell my body, you can agree!"

The father and mother of the Hu family saw that their daughter looked good and dressed well. I want to agree, but I'm afraid of the Ruan family.

Hu's father hesitated for a moment and asked his daughter, "How much silver did you sell yourself?" ”

He wanted to use his daughter's money to repay the Ruan family's twenty taels.

Chunhong said: "The owner saved my life, and this great kindness cannot be measured in silver." Before, Baozhu said that the Ruan family wants you to pay 20 taels of silver, and now I will borrow 20 taels of silver from the owner, and you will pay you to the Ruan family. ”

Chen Xiao and Fang Yu discussed before how much silver should be written on the deed of sale. After thinking about it, I think it's better not to write a specific number.

According to Xiaoshi, buying a girl is generally forty or fifty taels, seventy or eighty taels, depending on what kind of girl it is.

If it is written less, in case it is redeemed by them; I write too much, and it seems unreasonable.

Chunhong knelt down to Chen Xiao, pretending that it would be very difficult to borrow the silver, kowtowed:

"Owner, please lend me twenty taels of silver, I will work hard in the future and repay it with a lifetime!"

Wu Baozhu suddenly interjected: "Shouldn't you have silver for selling yourself?" How much money did you sell? ”

Xiaoshi glanced at her: "What's your business!" ”

"It's none of my business, I'm seeking justice for her. You can't have no money, do you? ”

"How much silver do you say is it worth to save someone's life?"

"Buy a girl for forty or fifty taels, and save someone's life is almost that."

"Then I'll buy you for forty or fifty taels, and then beat you to death, what do you think?" Little Stone hates Wu Baozhu.

"Huh! How can you speak? ”

"What's wrong with me? Can saving a life be measured in silver? ”

The two of them choked, and Fourth Uncle Wu stopped: "Shut up!" Don't talk about it. ”

He said to Ruan's father: "Look, do you want to take the silver?" ”

Although the Ruan family is a relative of the Wu family, they made a fuss about the Hu family's father and mother one of them wanted to hit a stone and the other wanted to hang themselves.

Fourth Uncle Wu is Lizheng, he can't be too protective of the Ruan family, otherwise how will the other villagers look at him.

Ruan's father said: "Our two families have a marriage first, and she is already our daughter-in-law!" ”

He wanted to say that Chunhong had no right to sell herself, but her father and mother were here, and they didn't say they disagreed.

Chun Hongniang said: "The dowry has been refunded, and the marriage is no longer counted!" ”

This weak woman saw that her daughter's owner was helping her daughter, so she dared to speak.

When Chunhong fled, they searched for a long time but didn't find her, thinking that she might have died in the mountains.

The married daughter is gone, and the Ruan family wants the Hu family to take the youngest daughter. Chunhong's sister is only nine years old, how can she be allowed to marry, let alone marry a fool.

At that time, there was a lot of trouble about this, and after mediation in the village, the Hu family returned the Ruan family's dowry and compensated the Ruan family for twenty taels of silver.

Compared with silver, the Ruan family wants people more. So he forced the Hu family to take the silver every day, but in fact, he wanted to force them to the point that they had no choice, and finally took their youngest daughter to arrive.

Chen Xiao said to Chunhong: "Yes, I'll go get the silver now." ”

She took the silver and put it on the table.

Ruan's father looked at the silver, thought about it, and said:

"She was already our daughter-in-law, and now she will buy another daughter-in-law, at least forty taels of silver."

Chen Xiaodao: "Whether your daughter-in-law robs or buys it is your family's business." Let's just talk about spring red. ”

Ruan's father was resentful: "She was already our daughter-in-law!" ”

Fang Yu said on the side: "If your fool dies, you don't have to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

He said it lightly and casually, but anyone could hear that it was intimidating.

Ruan's father hesitated for a moment and looked at Fourth Uncle Wu, hoping that he could help say a few words.

Originally, I invited Fourth Uncle Wu to come today, I wanted him to help me return to Chunhong. But unexpectedly, Wu Si didn't seem to help him.

To be honest, Wu Si still has some help but not help. Before he said that the deed of sale was not counted, he was helping the Hu family. But seeing that the two elders didn't say they disagreed, and Chunhong also said that he was willing, then he wouldn't say anything about it.

In addition, he knew that Baozhu had received the benefit of the Ruan family's five hundred yuan, so he coaxed Chunhong to the Ruan family.

Fourth Uncle Wu said: "Take the silver, forget it!" ”

Ruan's father was a little unwilling, but seeing Fang Yu's threatening expression, he didn't dare to say anything more, and silently picked up the silver.

"Wait a minute, write a note." Chen Xiaodao.

She finished and went to get a pen and paper. At least write a receipt.

Fourth Uncle Wu personally wrote, one is an IOU for Chunhong to borrow 20 taels of silver, and the other is an IOU for the Ruan family to get 20 taels of silver and settle the matter with the Hu family.

Several people drew their charges, and Wu Si served as a witness.

The matter of Chunhong is over.

Ruan's father was angry that Wu Si didn't help him, and after writing the note, he used the excuse that Ruan's family village and the backer village were not on the way, and the four of them left first.

Fourth Uncle Wu was annoyed: This is a relative? Something is a relative, nothing is not on the way?

Chen Xiao saw that Fourth Uncle Wu was not a bad person as she imagined before, and said:

"Don't leave in a hurry, stay for a meal."

"No, you won't be able to go back after dark."

Fourth Uncle Wu waved his hand and declined.

He just came to administer justice, and he was not familiar with the two owners of Chunhong.

Chen Xiaodao: "I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

"What's the matter?"

Chunhong's father and mother suddenly became nervous, thinking about whether to talk about their daughter.

Chen Xiaodao: "I want to find a piece of land to grow chili peppers, I don't know if you can grow them in your village?" ”
