An Zikang, who was beaten and screamed in pain, heard his younger brother say this, as if he had instantly woken up, covered his face and cried.

And the old woman was frightened by the appearance of her fifth child, and she was stupid, so she gave out the silver in her hand and took out all the fourteen taels she had gotten, without any reservations.

An Zihao stepped forward to take the silver and looked at Ge Mingyu and Liu Mei's two sisters-in-law, Ge Mingyu didn't dare to delay, and when she saw that the old lady gave it, she also gave one or two pieces of silver in her hand.

And Liu Mei didn't give the money, but shook her head and looked at her daughter.

An Qingyan also lost her mind at this time, and after listening to what her uncle said, she was shaken by what she said about being a slave and a servant.

But look at the moment, she can't even wear shoes without revealing her toes, and she is instructed by her patriarchal father to do this and that every day, she is enough, what is the difference between this and a slave?

Therefore, when several other families were not ready to sell, An Qingyan still insisted, but she made a request, asking Mrs. An to give her a tael of silver to sell her body.

Liu Mei's face immediately changed, and she looked at Mrs. An nervously, afraid that Mrs. An would give the one or two in her hand to her daughter.

If Mrs. An gave her daughter another tael of silver, she would be willing, but if she wanted to give her what was in her hand, she would never agree.

She gave birth to An Qingyan, why didn't she even have a share of the money.

An Zihao listened to it for a while and looked at it for a while, and found that it was impossible to make the sister-in-law and the eldest niece change their minds and not sell themselves, but the eldest niece has her own thoughts and can take care of herself, besides, selling her body is her own will, so he can't control it so much.

While they were confronting each other because of one tael of silver, they hurriedly counted eight taels of silver, and sent An Qingling to Steward Pei with him.

Steward Pei didn't plan to accept this little girl, but seeing that she was sick and her father and mother were not human, she was still a little distressed.

Seeing that there was a sensible and humane uncle who took care of her, he also took the silver over easily, which was just right for favors.

"No! No way! ”

As soon as An Zihao finished returning the silver, the screams of the old lady An sounded behind him.

An Zihao was startled, hurriedly hugged An Qingling and walked away a little, and then returned the remaining seven taels of silver in his hand to his mother, turned around and walked towards the crowd, he couldn't control the affairs here.

It's not that he's partial, he just doesn't care about the daughter of the third brother's family and the eldest brother's family.

All he wants now is to cure Xiao Ling'er, who is only five years old in front of him, he doesn't believe that the third brother is really so ruthless, and he doesn't want a daughter when the time comes.

Things went on for a while, and in the end, An Qingyan still couldn't get a penny from the old An's mother-in-law, and followed Steward Pei away, while Liu Mei successfully kept the one or two silver in her hand.

By the time Steward Pei was able to get out, he had already taken away the five girls, even after listening to An Zihao's words, those who were going to sell them retreated, but there were still people who didn't remember the consequences for the sake of the silver to make up for it.

Shanbei Zhuangzi is mostly patriarchal, but also because girls can't get land, not to mention, they have to prepare a dowry when they get married, and the amount of dowry can often represent the status of the husband's family.

Those patriarchal families call their daughters as cattle, and now they have an opportunity to earn a sum of money without a dowry, how can they not be tempted.

The five girls here are all of the same age, and they followed Steward Pei away crying.

And Xia Qiyue's side has already found the patriarch's family and is discussing things with the patriarch.

"Uncle Patriarch, do you think I can do this?" Xia Qiyue's eyes were shining and he asked.

The patriarch twisted his eyebrows and thought deeply, and did not speak immediately, which made Xia Qiyue a little uncertain, and spoke again, "Patriarch, you think, I am also helpful to our fellow villagers in Zhuangzi in Shanbei, and we are almost to a place where there is no shortage of water, but whether we can stay is not necessarily, if we really want to go to the capital to escape the famine, although there is no shortage of water or food on the way, but we also need silver to buy it, so we need silver, you say?" ”

The patriarch nodded, they are under the jurisdiction of Anyang Mansion, and they do not belong to the jurisdiction of Oasis City, so even if they want to settle the victims, it is impossible for them to settle in Oasis City, and they will most likely have to flee to the capital in the end.

In this way, as the July girl said, even if there is no shortage of food or water, they also lack money to buy.

"Okay! Then I'll call the shots and help you find a few in the village! ”

The patriarch finally nodded and agreed to Xia Qiyue's request.

"Great, thank you, Uncle Patriarch, but let's say it, I don't want the old An family, I'm afraid that there will be no bones left for our mothers and sons to be squeezed!"

It is good to say the words clearly and understandably, and the patriarch also understands it, and there is nothing to hide.

"July, although you have split up, but you don't have the separation paperwork yet, don't be entangled again when the time comes!" An Wang opened his mouth with some concern.

"Yes, Sister July, you used to have some silver to treat Xuan'er, they were all greedy, not to mention that you have so much silver now, I'm afraid that Liu Mei's woman has long been worried about it, what can I do?" Liu Jiajia is also anxious for Xia Qiyue.

Xia Qiyue knew that what they said was right, and she was uneasy for a day when she didn't get the separation paperwork.

The Great Chu State has always ruled the world with filial piety, if she does not have a family separation document to prove that they are separated, she has so much silver in her hand but does not give it to her father, it is a big crime to go to prison.

I hope that Lao An's family will not wake up, and when she arrives in a stable place, she will find a way to solve the matter.

"Sister..."Xia Jiujiu shouted behind her with some worry, she was worried that they would be bullied by her brother-in-law's family, she knew that her sister's eldest sister-in-law was a-stirring stick, she had seen her bully her sister when she secretly went to find her sister before.

Xia Qiyue turned around, "Don't worry!" There is a sister! Didn't the patriarch already promise me to recruit a few thugs in the village? ”

She originally wanted to say that the bodyguards came, but she felt that they didn't understand, and the thugs were more direct, that is, whoever bullied them, the thugs she recruited had to be protected, so it was enough, she gave everyone a salary of one or two silver a month, and when she could buy food, she could still provide food.

"Hmm." Xia Jiu nodded worriedly, and turned to look at the two little ones to see if they were uncomfortable.

The two children had been obediently sitting in wheelchairs, and after their mother didn't let them pretend to be sick, the two of them sat quietly.

Xia Xinghe carried the empty basket on his back and looked around, because the drama of selling his daughter over there was over, and he was worried that the crazy old woman would come over to find trouble.

"Auntie, Jiajia, don't worry too much about us, I'll find a way!" Xia Qiyue sincerely thanked these two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, not to mention helping her, always fighting for her and helping her a lot.

Although she has also given steamed buns, she feels that it is still too little compared to Aunt Wang's care for her.
