Chapter 354: The Road Is Uneven
After two more rounds of competition, Gu Xiyue and Chaoli both entered the finals, and Shen Lianyi did the same.
There were only twenty people in the finals, and the others did not leave in a hurry after the defeat, but chose to stay and watch the game, wanting to know who would get the first, second and third places in today's embroidery competition.
It was almost noon, and everyone had not yet prepared lunch, but Chao Li and Gu Xiyue did not eat here, but found a restaurant at random.
I didn't drink water or eat well all morning, and when Gu Xiyue arrived at the restaurant, she immediately poured tea to drink.
"Sister-in-law, there are a lot of people in today's game, I think there are still so many people eating, there shouldn't be a problem, right?" Gu Xiyue asked.
Chao Li shook his head, "As long as no one deals with them, then they won't have a problem." Later in the afternoon, after the game, we will go back to our homes and do not have to delay outside. I always have a feeling of uneasiness in my heart, she hasn't made a move until now, I'm afraid she is holding back a big movement. ”
Hearing this, Gu Xiyue's face turned straight.
I hadn't thought carefully about Shen Lianyi's situation before, but now that she and her are no longer friends, when I think about it seriously, I am really scary.
"Sister-in-law, in the past, I went out with Shen Lianyi, and at any time, she looked weak and boneless. If something goes bad, she will hide behind me and let me be the one who comes out on top. Shen Lianyi protects herself very well, and she will never have a shortage of people around her to help her come out. Gu Xiyue sneered.
Of course, Chaoli understood, "It's okay, you were coaxed by her at that time, and you won't be like this in the future." And did you find one thing? That is, there are fewer and fewer supporters around Shen Lianyi now, and some people may still be afraid of her scheming. ”
Especially Chaoli has dealt with her twice, and now her reputation has been more or less affected.
In the past, she could still keep her eyes above the top, and the people around her followed, and it was not her turn to do anything.
Today, she found that there were only three or four people around Shen Lianyi, which was too much worse than the previous kind of more than a dozen people to follow.
Maybe Shen Lianyi had already discovered it, but he was powerless to change it.
"Well, let's be careful." Gu Xiyue nodded.
After the two of them had lunch, they were ready to rest in the carriage, and today Chaoli brought Ruoruo and Pei Yu, and Tsing Yi stayed in the house.
Gu Xiyue sat in Chaoli's carriage and took a nap with her.
Suddenly, there was a crying outside.
Chaoli opened his eyes and looked out, and it turned out to be a father and daughter.
"Stinky girl, why don't you hurry up and come with me, I sold you to Wanhualou, and I can go to the gambling house again." Don't worry, as long as I get my money back, I will redeem you, don't think about it, I am your biological father, it is impossible not to want you. The man spoke.
"Dad, don't, don't sell me, I will be obedient and take care of my brother." The little girl cried heartbreakingly.
What kind of place Wanhualou is, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl like her naturally understands.
The man looked impatient, "What kind of stupid thing to say, you go to Wanhualou to enjoy happiness, and there will be people to serve in the future, and you can get countless wealth, what's wrong with this?" Zhang Huahua from the next village went to Wanhualou, and people lived very well there, and they knew how to give money to their families during the New Year's holidays, and you could too. ”
"No, Daddy, please let me go." The little girl struggled desperately.
It's a pity that her strength is still not as good as that of a man, so she will naturally be dragged away.
Gu Xiyue couldn't sit still a little when she saw this, a fierce light burst out in her eyes, and she couldn't wait to skin the man and cramp.
"It's too much, he actually sold his own daughter into the Qinglou, how can he do it!" Gu Xiyue gritted her teeth and spoke.
Compared with Gu Xiyue's anger, Chaoli seemed very indifferent, she knew very well in her heart that when it was time to open the pot, there would be many parents who would sell their daughters to big families as maids or green houses.
Compared with being a maid, it must be more money from Qinglou.
The two of them looked down from the carriage, so they were able to see the looks of the father and daughter clearly.
The father's eyes were only money, and the daughter's eyes were full of sorrow.
"My sister wants to help?" Chaoli asked.
Gu Xiyue nodded, "Yes, I really want to help, this father is really not a thing, he treats his daughter like this." ”
"Then if there is something else hidden, or if it is not as you think, don't you regret it?" Chao Li asked again.
"I don't regret it, I really can't see this happen." Gu Xiyue frowned and said, "Maybe I'm living too well, except for the person who can't be loved, I'm happy all the time, and I'm surrounded everywhere I go." Now that I see a little girl being bullied into such a field, I don't see it, and I don't want to ignore it when I see it. ”
Chao Li opened her mouth, and she wanted to say something, but seeing that Gu Xiyue was so insistent, she simply didn't say more.
"Okay, do what you think."
Since Gu Xiyue has this heart, she really shouldn't stop her.
Also, it is impossible for the Gu family to protect Gu Xiyue forever, it's time for her to bear some of it herself.
After getting Chao Li's answer, Gu Xiyue suddenly became motivated and immediately jumped out of the carriage.
"Stop! What's the matter with you, a father, that you want to sell your own daughter, or sell into a place like that, just to go to the gambling house for yourself? Gu Xiyue looked arrogant.
The man glared angrily, "What's the matter with you, this is my daughter, I naturally have the right to deal with her!" ”
The little girl saw that Gu Xiyue's dress was very gorgeous, even if she didn't know the goods, she knew that it was not cheap.
Immediately, the little girl let go of her father's hand and knelt down for Gu Xiyue instead.
"Miss, please save me, you buy me away, my father is really going to send me to Wanhualou, I know what kind of place it is, I don't want to go. If Miss buys me, I will definitely serve Miss well and work hard for Miss Miss. The little girl pleaded.
Seeing her like this, Gu Xiyue's heart moved.
"Okay, I'll buy you." As he spoke, he looked at the man again, "How much did you sell your daughter to Wanhualou?" I bought it, and after that she has nothing to do with you, you are no longer her father, she is my person. ”
The man was still staring at Gu Xiyue with a fierce face, but when he heard her say that he was going to buy his daughter, he immediately showed a bright smile.
"Oh, what's so embarrassing, I'm going to sell her for five taels of silver." The man said with a smile.
Hearing his words, Gu Xiyue's anger didn't come out.
Just like that, for just five taels of silver, he sold his daughter?
"Okay, I'll give you the money, you get out immediately!"
