Chapter 59: A Beating
Steward Pei, who has been ignored, only then did he have a chance to speak, and he replied to Liu Meidao, "This little lady, I don't accept maids, the road is far away, and it is inconvenient to take it back!" ”
When Liu Mei heard this, how could this be? He doesn't accept maids, so how can her daughter soar? How to fly on the branches and become a phoenix?
Ge Mingyu also thinks the same way as her, but Old Lady An doesn't think so, what she thinks about is in front of her, if this noble man doesn't accept the maid, then she won't be able to get into the account in her hands, what a loss.
So, the three women knelt in front of Steward Pei in unison, and began to beg with tears in their eyes.
"Help, noble, we really can't live, otherwise who would want to sell their children? Please give the child a way to live! ”
Ge Mingyu didn't expect it to follow the kneeling old woman, but looking at her like that, the old woman's eyes lit up, she thought she would sell one, but she didn't expect an unexpected surprise.
Anyway, the granddaughter is useless, not to mention the land, she has to marry someone to prepare a dowry or something in the future, and she can't get much if she has a bride price, so she doesn't have to sell it for more money.
At this moment, the old woman took the lead, and several more women came out, scrambling to beg for it.
Xia Qiyue hurriedly took a few steps back, walked to the side of the two little ones, and poked the stomachs of the two with his hand, and the two children opened their eyes.
Just by taking this opportunity, she didn't have to go to the front to find a doctor in advance.
Otherwise, it's not safe.
She put the silver ticket of 1,000 taels into the space long ago under the cover of her sleeve, so she was not afraid that the old woman would grab it after a while.
As for the fact that everyone knows about this with so much silver, she has already thought of a way.
The movement here has attracted everyone, some have joined the begging team, some have come to watch the play, those who begged to sell their daughters, and those who have seen their daughters to death, are afraid that their daughters will not be able to earn money if they run away.
But there is one exception, and that is An Qingyan, Liu Mei's daughter.
She waited there expectantly, for fear that the nobles would not want to buy people, and then the good days she would get would fly.
I don't know how long I begged, but I had already fenced off Steward Pei's carriage, but Steward Pei couldn't, and finally agreed.
However, he only needs five children, and he really can't take it with him.
The price is also extremely cheap, eight taels of silver a piece, don't sell it if you want more!
Xia Qiyue is staggering, people in this era are really cheap, eight taels of silver, and they sell all the children?
Because it was Mrs. Lao An and Liu Mei who took the lead, two of the five children's places were robbed by Mrs. Lao An.
An Qingyan came over happily, carrying a package, which was something given to her by Liu Mei, and she didn't know what it was, but she was very happy anyway.
One of the other three children's children looked like they were seven or eight years old, one was also in their teens, and one was only five or six years old, similar to An Qingling.
And when five-year-old An Qingling was hugged by her father, she had a high fever, talked nonsense, her face was red, and her exposed toes grinded blood.
Her father, An Zikang and Ge Mingyu, only cared about counting the silver, but they didn't care about their sick daughter, so they put it at the feet of Steward Pei.
An Zihao, who had been gritting his teeth and enduring it with his fists, couldn't help it, his eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed forward with a fist.
At this time, his mother was asking Ge Mingyu for silver, asking her to give seven taels, and if she didn't give it, she would divorce her.
An Zihao can't do anything to his own mother, and he can't beat his sister-in-law, so he will teach the third brother who is not a human being a lesson.
"An Zikang, are you still a person? Are you worthy to be a human being? You don't care if Ling'er is sick like this, you still want to sell her? Do you know that she can't survive if she is sold like this? ”
In the crowd of noisy and crying, this fierce voice was particularly prominent.
I saw that An Zihao's iron fist had been thrown towards An Zikang
"Are you worthy to be a human being?" A punch hit An Zikang in the face.
"Are you worthy to be a father?" Another punch hit An Zikang in the chest.
"Are you an animal in human skin?" An Zihao said a word and hit a circle, and An Zikang was powerless to fight back.
The people around only watched indifferently and no one made a move, and those who were crying and crying also stopped.
An Zihao continued: "Do you know what will happen to Ling'er after she is sold?" "Bang... Another punch.
"She will become a slave, inferior for the rest of her life, and the power of life and death will be in the hands of others! She stands when others sit, she watches when others eat, and she guards when others sleep! It's not just that, the master can say and kill and kill, how he wants! For the sake of those eight taels of silver, you ruined Ling'er's life! Did You Know? ”
hit An Zikang's mouth full of blood, and grabbed him by the collar and lifted it fiercely, so that he could see the child lying on the ground with a high fever and shouting his father.
An Zikang grinned in pain, how could he have time to see his daughter, he only shouted in pain.
Old man An couldn't squeeze in outside the crowd at all, but Old Man An was in a hurry.
If the child is not sold, then the fourteen taels of silver in her hand will fly.
She just threatened to lure her two daughters-in-law to give her eight taels of silver for seven taels, what is the fifth child making trouble?
Without thinking about it, she ran forward, snatched her third son from An Zihao's hands, and scratched and cried again.
An Zihao let his mother scratch him, didn't fight back or talked, and finally only looked at Ge Mingyu and asked An Zikang, "Do you really want to sell Ling'er?" ”
An Zikang was already beaten and dizzy, Ge Mingyu was a little frightened by An Zihao's sudden madness, and said in a trembling voice, "... Old Five, if you don't sell Ling'er now, it will be a problem to marry your daughter-in-law... I... I can't bear it, woo woo woo... But there is no way...", and detained all the pots that sold the children to An Zihao.
"Good!" An Zihao interrupted Ge Mingyu's hesitation, and waved his hand, "Return the money that sold the child!" I won't marry this daughter-in-law! In the future, Ling'er will be my daughter! ”
Until he saw this moment, Xia Qiyue had another layer of understanding about An Zihao.
Don't look at his usual silence, that body of competition is really sassy.
And at this time, in addition to Xia Qiyue, who was starry at his uncle, there was another person who was beating his heart for him.
"Old Five, what are you fooling around? How can you not marry a daughter-in-law? How can you pass on the family generation if you don't marry a daughter-in-law? You don't care about this matter, return Ling'er quickly! ”
The old woman An almost shouted hysterically, startling everyone around her, but An Zihao was indifferent.
An Qingling, who was talking nonsense in his arms, said on his lips, "Mother, just treat me as a son who is not filial, if you can't do it, just separate me!" In the future, the son will marry a wife and have children, and his father and mother will not worry about it, so leave this child behind! I'll raise her! ”
An Zihao held the child in his arms with red eyes, facing his unreasonable mother, he was afraid that he would rob the child if he didn't pay attention.
