Tai Jijin's old lady went out of the funeral to buy a coffin, and spent the little money saved by the family, but the youngest son contracted the cold some time ago and grabbed a few pairs of medicines.

Tai Jijin hasn't said anything yet, their mother-in-law Sun Meihua is going to sell Erya to subsidize the family!

Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang both frowned when they heard this, especially Liu Dongniang, who sighed and said, "Even if the days are a little difficult, they are better than in winter!" Besides, if you persist for three months, the field is harvested, and many people must value bud rice, even if you sell seeds, you can also make a small fortune, why sell children!

Big families are ruthless, it is common for slaves and maids to be beaten and scolded, how can they be willing to let their children suffer that! ”

Yang Lihua was also annoyed, and responded, "What can I do, that is, I value my son and not my daughter!" Now that they are sold as slaves and maids, they have at least ten taels of silver, which is enough for the family to eat and drink well until autumn! You are worried about your children's suffering, but other people's mothers are not worried! ”

What she said was full of sarcasm, but in fact, she was also angry.

Since the family opened a small school, from the initial dozen children to now only seven or eight are still persisting every day. Among them, the most serious learner is not a kid, or Tai Jijin, the second daughter.

Just like Chunhong said, this girl is smart, she teaches and learns quickly, and she knows gratitude, and she sends firewood and grass the most times on weekdays.

And Chunhong almost died of illness at the beginning, but she was also beaten by her family and ran for help!

Yang Lihua also likes such a loving and righteous smart and diligent girl, and even asked Yongning to take care of it a little more, if there is a chance in the future, maybe she is also a person who can be used at home.

In particular, Chunhong broke out with a talent for needlework, and after she began to study, she trained Erya to be good at bookkeeping and managing money, and the two sisters were all by Zhuzhu's side. Whether it is to take care of Zhuzhu's daily life and dowry, or to marry into a wealthy family, he is a good person and a good helper.

But her plan is very good, but Sun Meihua, an idiot, is full of branches!

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the gate, and someone banged on the door frantically, crying loudly.

Chunhong's ears were pointed, she listened carefully, and immediately shouted, "Uncle, it's the second girl who is crying!" ”

Instead of rushing out, she fell to her knees again.

Yang Lihua pulled her, "Let's go, go and see!" ”

The three of them threw down the needle and thread in the house and hurried to the front yard.

Tai Jizu had already opened the courtyard door, the second girl was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen when she cried, and when she saw Chunhong coming out of the backyard, she ran directly into her arms and cried loudly.

"Sister, woo, my mother is going to sell me! It's not to sell to be a slave, it's to go to the flower building to be a flower girl! ”

Flower Building?!

Everyone had black faces at that time, and looked at Tai Jijin and his wife outside the door in disbelief!

Tiger poison does not eat children!

Even if the family really can't survive, it is understandable to sell the child to be a slave. But as long as you have a conscience, you will try your best to choose a good home for your child.

How much you hate your child that you will push your child into a fire pit like Hualou!

Tai Jizu loves children the most, and he doesn't believe that there is such a ruthless father and mother at all, he shouted and asked Tai Jijin, "Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey!" Do you really want to sell your child? Erya is your own child! ”

Tai Jijin's subordinates pulled the corners of their black ragged clothes and hooked their heads, but they couldn't speak.

But his daughter-in-law's son and grandson Meihua stepped forward and spoke, "That's ...... Erya is lying, we are our own father, how can we harm her! It's just that the family can't live a good life, and I want to send her to a big family to be a maid, She can be fed and clothed, and she is also helping the family! It was because she wanted to be lazy and didn't want to go to other people's jobs that she ran out to make noise! ”

As she spoke, she was going to go into the yard to pull the second girl.

Tai Jizu blocked the door and didn't let her in, so she crossed her feet and shouted, "Erya, come here!" My mother won't hurt you, if you don't want to go to this house to enjoy happiness, my mother will help you change one! ”

She wanted to trick Erya out first, and the child was in her hands, and no one could stop her.

The world is big, is there still her mother?

But the two of them were followed by two people, but they didn't agree, and a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks who looked like a little steward said, "What do you mean by changing one?" Your family has taken our deposit of two taels of silver, if you dare to speak, it doesn't count, we won't agree! ”

Sun Meihua'er was startled, and quickly nodded in embarrassment, then looked at the second girl in the courtyard and scolded anxiously.

"Dead girl, get out of here! If you dare to be disobedient, see if I can beat you to death! ”

At this moment, the neighbors in the vicinity heard that something was wrong and came out to investigate.

There are smart people, seeing that there are outsiders present, they have already run to find Tai Sanye.

Just when Sun Meihua wanted to rush into the Tai family, Tai Sanye arrived, followed by all the old and young families, dozens of numbers.

It's not just that Sun Meihua is weak and timid, but the two foreign men have changed their faces and scolded in their hearts.

Tai Jizu breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly went out and said, "Patriarch, my father took the children up the mountain and was not at home. The second girl of Fang Jijin's family suddenly ran to ask for help, saying that her father and mother were going to sell her into the flower building, but she was unwilling. But Jijin and his daughter-in-law brought someone over again, saying that the second girl lied and just went to a big family to be a maid! I don't know what to do, so let's call the shots. ”

Tai Sanye understood what he heard, and dug Tai Jijin and his wife hard, and then took the lead into the courtyard.

Liu Dongniang handed over the second girl to Yang Lihua to protect, and then took Chunhong to prepare tea.

Tai Jizu moved the tables and chairs and put them under the eaves of the corridor, Tai Sanye sat down with a golden knife, and then looked at the two men.

"Those who come are guests, no matter why you came, you are all guests of our Tai family, let's sit down and have a cup of tea first."

The sharp-beaked man was about to speak, but another older companion pulled his sleeve and sat down together.

Sun Meihua looked at this posture and was scared, but thinking about the son in the family and the two taels of silver, she was really reluctant.

She stepped forward boldly and said, "Patriarch, we really don't hurt the second girl. Life at home is not good, and Erya goes out to enjoy happiness, at least she can eat and dress warmly......"

Chunhong pushed Erya, and Erya rushed over crying and knelt at Tai Sanye's feet.

"Third grandfather, help, I don't want to leave our village, I don't want to be sold. My mother lied, she didn't want to send me to a big family to work, but to send me to Hualou!

"I just secretly heard these two people say that Hualou gives two taels of silver more than the big family! Woo, my mother doesn't care if I live or die for two taels of silver!

"Third grandfather, I can work, I eat less, I will follow my aunt to weave cashmere mats in the future, I can support myself. Please don't let my father sell me! ”

Tai Sanye sighed, patted the little girl's head, and then raised his hand to stop Sun Meihua, who was still talking, and finally asked the two men, "Where are you from, but Chinese?" It's best to tell the truth, our Taijia Village is poor, but there are still a few people in the city who know it. At least the stewards of the Min family and the officials of the county government have frequent contacts. ”
