He Laosan's eyes widened.

Qibao went over and grabbed his legs, and said in a milky voice: "Dad, it's because I want to eat meat buns, and the second sister came up with this idea, if you want to scold me, you shouldn't scold the second sister." There was grievance in his voice as he spoke: "I want to eat meat, but I saw Brother Yang eating it that day, and he didn't give me milk." ”

He Laosan's lips moved, and he turned his head to look at Chen: "Child, you, this matter ......"

Chen glanced at Qibao and looked stern: "How many times have I said that you are not allowed to eat greedily, how many honeysuckles do you have to pinch to sell for two taels of silver, and you usually let you dig pigweed, you all go and pinch this secretly, ah?" Let your milk discover and see that there is your good fruit to eat! Sibao, early in the morning, your eldest sister is busy, she doesn't stop working for the house, she can't care about this, and the two of you are also messing around with Qibao! ”

Afraid of being heard, her voice was very low.

Tears welled up in Qibao's eyes, and he stubbornly lowered his head and didn't say a word.

He Chun'er immediately answered: "Mother, you can't just blame them for this, I am the eldest sister, and I led them to pinch it, but we didn't do a little bit of family work, and we went to the mountains to dig up pigweed before pinching honeysuckle." ”

He Laosan frowned his thick eyebrows: "How can you go up the mountain?" Aren't there monsters on the mountain? ”

Several people looked at each other, but none of them spoke.

He spoke earlier: "Dad, mother, these buns are specially honored by us, we all know that you have contributed the most in this family, but you eat the least, and usually there is delicious food that can't fall into our mouth, why did the second uncle and aunt sell me and Qibao last time, isn't it because I spent a lot of money to see a doctor and owe my milk, so I want to make money, earn a lot of money, and see who dares to sell me and Qibao in the future." ”

This sentence really touched the hearts of He Laosan and Chen, no matter what is happening, how can there be parents in the world who do not love their children, and which parents are willing to sell their own flesh and blood!

He Laosan was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and pushed the bun to He Zao's side: "You eat this bun, you can't eat anything good on weekdays, make up for it." ”

Chen also hesitated, and whispered: "Don't pinch this honeysuckle in the future, lest you know that your milk is going to be idle again, as for these two taels of silver......

She looked at her children's expectant looks, a little unbearable, but still adhered to her principles: "Our family is your grandmother's housekeeper, although it is not good to send these two taels of silver directly over, but I will accept it, and I will have the opportunity to buy something in the future to honor your grandmother." ”

This is actually very consistent with the results of several guesses in Hezao, and they all know Chen's personality very well.

Several children glanced at each other, He Zao clenched the silver in his palm, looked at Chen with a pair of dark eyes, and said word by word: "I don't agree!" ”

Chen looked at her in surprise, and He Laosan and He Chun'er also looked at her in surprise.

He Zao reiterated again: "I don't agree, this silver is earned by ourselves, we have to take it ourselves, and no one will give it!" ”

"Morning!" He Laosan's mouth opened wide, and he didn't understand how this usually docile and silent daughter could suddenly become so bold.

Chen was also shocked, looking at He Zao's eyes as if he had never known her.

He Chun'er, Sibao, and Qibao didn't expect her to say this, glaring at each other.

Sibao also quietly pulled her hand: "Zao'er, what nonsense!" ”

The money they earn is the most deserving thing for their parents.

But He Zao didn't think so.

Her eyes swept over everyone in the room, her small body stood straight, her little face was thin and immature, but her expression was extremely firm, and there seemed to be a fire burning in her dark eyes: "Dad, mother, I am different from the eldest brother, eldest sister, fourth brother, and Qibao, even if someone wants to sell them, grandma will not agree, but I am not, I don't want to be a maid, and I don't want to be sold to any unsightly place...... I will work hard to earn silver in the future, I have asked, a girl in the county is worth seven or eight taels of silver, if you really want to sell me in the future, I will buy myself at my own expense...... Therefore, I will keep these two taels of silver for myself, and I will not give them to anyone, not even you! ”

There was silence in the room, a deathly silence.

But everyone understands what He Zao means.

When He Lao Er wanted to sell He Zao, except for a few small ones, He Lao San and the Chen family almost acquiesced, but they all knew that if He Zao was replaced by any of the He family's descendants, it would be like Qibao, and someone would come out and fight desperately.

In the end, it was He Zao who saved himself and Qibao.

"Morning!" He Laosan mourned in his heart, covered his face and sobbed.

Chen looked at He Zao silently, meeting her eyes, and the latter looked at her with such a calm, calm look at her, as if he was looking at a stranger.

She suddenly remembered that day in public, her little daughter stood there and talked eloquently, refuting one reason after another, and forcibly changed the old man's mind.

On another occasion, she was crying outside the gate and asking her neighbors to judge her, and her voice still sounded slightly hoarse.

Chen suddenly realized that his little daughter was only nine years old.

Sibao also had tears in his eyes, and gently held He Zao's hand: "Zao'er, don't worry, if this happens again in the future, I won't let you be sold!" ”

"Second sister, are we really not biological?"

Shippo burst into tears.

He Zao couldn't help but want to laugh, but Chen, who was on the side, suddenly covered his mouth and cried lowly.

"What the?"

He Laosan stopped crying and shouted tentatively.

Chen didn't look at anyone, and walked straight inside, and soon, there was a low suppressed cry from inside.

A few of them looked at each other.

He Laosan turned his head to look at this, and then at that, He Chun'er pushed him and whispered: "Dad, don't go and see it yet!" ”

He Laosan hesitated and took two steps forward, then turned his head to look at He Zao, moved his lips, and wanted to say something, but he was an honest man, he couldn't say a lot of things, and in the end he didn't say anything and entered the room.

The brothers and sisters outside the house were completely silent, and after a while, Sibao shouted: "Morning, you ......"

He Zao smiled at him, his smile was unexpectedly bright, and his voice was very low: "I said that on purpose just now, otherwise my father and mother would not agree to let us take the money ourselves." If they were really given to them, they would have given them all to their grandmothers, and we wouldn't have been able to say a good word. ”

Sibao was stunned: "Then you did it on purpose just now?" ”

He Zao blinked his eyes: "Of course, I'm here for our future good, so you all keep your mouths shut, and no one will say much." ”

Sibao and He Chun'er both looked at her with some suspicion.

They didn't believe that He Zao really had no idea.

She is the most neglected granddaughter of the He family, which is something that everyone knows, so they also understand He Zao's practice of putting away the money she earns by herself.
