In the dim light, Widow Zhang lay on the bed panting.

Next to him was Li Si, who was also sweating profusely, he looked greedily at Widow Zhang's chest with a pair of mung bean eyes, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Damn, even if I die on you, I am willing to die!" ”

Widow Zhang's son slept next door, and she cursed in a low voice: "Be quiet, don't let Jia'an hear." ”

Li Si immediately closed his mouth, hugged her waist and said, "Got it." ”

Because Li Si's family was poor, he had been a bachelor all his life, so he lived next door to Widow Zhang's house.

A few years ago, Widow Zhang's husband died, and Li Si went to Widow Zhang's house from time to time to help, and the two of them got along after coming and going.

"Your man is also dead, why don't you marry me, and I will raise you and the child." Li Si was reluctant to pinch Widow Zhang's sturdy body and said viciously.

There was a hint of disdain in Widow Zhang's eyes.

Li Si's family is almost too poor to open the pot, so they live on two acres of paddy fields.

And she relied on the few acres of land left by her dead ghost husband, although she didn't say how rich she was, she was well fed.

There is no need to marry Li Si at all.

"You also said that you like me, and you don't care if I am bullied." Widow Zhang wiped her tears, looking aggrieved.

Li Si, can you bear this?

He immediately patted his chest and said, "Who, whoever bullied you, I'll be the first to him!" ”

Hooked.

Widow Zhang's eyes were happy, and she suppressed her voice and said angrily: "Who else can there be, that Lu Qingcao, who didn't let me help when recruiting workers before, and now he doesn't call me when he collects food, isn't it clear that he excludes me?" They are all widows, who is cleaner than whom? I've heard San Mazi crawl through her door! ”

The more Widow Zhang spoke, the more angry she became, and she turned over the matter of Chen Sesame and rotten grain.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen San Mazi for a long time, and I don't know where I went.

Hearing Lu Qingcao's name, Li Si was stunned.

When the traffickers were arrested in the village, he quietly took a second look.

The five big and three rough men were beaten by Lu Qingcao and were not human, and he had nightmares for several days after watching it.

How dare you provoke!

"This, Lu Qingcao is doing business with the whole village now, and I don't want to offend her, I still have dozens of catties of food at home that I haven't sold......" Li Si started haha.

Widow Zhang didn't care, and turned her face directly: "You still said that you want to marry me, you can't even control Lu Qingcao, what kind of man are you!" Don't come to me in the future, let's go! ”

So saying, he drove him out.

Li Si was willing to give up this gentle township, and immediately flattered: "I'll go, can't I go?" What do you say? ”

Seeing that he was soft, Widow Zhang also stopped her movements and said, "I heard that she has collected a lot of grain, so you go and steal the grain back." ”

came up to steal food, and Li Si also had a small calculation in his heart.

If he was caught by Lu Qingcao, he would have to be beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and maybe he would have to take half his life.

"Okay, I'll go." Li Si picked up his clothes and walked outside while wearing them.

Seeing his neat promise, Widow Zhang happily handed him shoes and clothes: "You can go, anyway, the food is not named, and she will not be able to say anything when she finds out." ”

Li Si lowered his head and said nothing.

After getting dressed, Li Si walked out of the door of Widow Zhang's house and walked towards the mountain.

Widow Zhang stood at the door, not to mention how happy she was.

She has been squeezed by Lu Qingcao so many times, and she finally breathed a sigh!

After watching it for a long time, she reluctantly returned to the house.

As soon as he closed the door, Li Si, who had walked away, sneakily glanced back, and after making sure that he had not been discovered, he turned his head and walked home.

Let him provoke Lu Qingcao?

He's not a fool!

While people were not paying attention, he turned over and jumped into the courtyard wall and went home to sleep.

……

A dreamless night.

Early the next morning, Lu Qingcao went to the black market.

She and her aunt agreed to meet every three days to communicate with each other, and today happened to be the third day.

There are fewer goods on the black market, replaced by people who sell their children.

Several girls knelt in the corner, all of them with yellow faces and thin muscles, and a dog's tail grass on their heads.

The man standing on the side noticed Lu Qingcao's stagnant gaze, and immediately came up with a flattery: "Girl, do you want a child?" It's thirteen years old, and I can do any work outside the house, and I can buy it back as a child daughter-in-law. As long as ten catties of millet, you can pick one and go. ”

In just a few days, the currency seemed to disappear and the black market began to barter.

The five girls also raised their heads, and their eyes were full of expectations towards Lu Qingcao.

Lu Qingcao shook his head: "Don't buy it." ”

Ten catties of millet, in the past, only needed 60 yuan, but now it is fried to 120 yuan, and it can't even be bought.

Lu Qingcao was slightly distracted.

The aunt who was guarding the corner saw her and immediately pulled her over: "Are you here, have you received the food?" ”

Lu Qingcao pursed her lips: "I received more than 100 catties." ”

The aunt hung her hand in frustration, she had foreseen this result a long time ago.

"You haven't been here for a few days, you don't know, now that grain has become hard currency, some people would rather have food without silver, and the price of rice and flour has increased several times, what can I do......?" said the aunt worriedly.

The aunt also released the news of harvesting grain in the village, but three days later, only a few dozen catties of grain were received.

Lu Qingcao didn't panic, she looked at the female dolls on the street who were all waiting to be sold, and said in a low voice: "I will get the food, why are there so many children on the street all of a sudden?" ”

The eldest aunt sighed: "Evil, now every family can't eat, so they can only sell their children for some food, and the children can have a way to live." ”

Lu Qingcao sneered: "If you really want to live, you won't only sell your daughter and not your son." ”

The aunt was silent.

No one has anything dirty, and she doesn't want to say more.

"I bought you, you are my daughter-in-law, go, come home with me."

"Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink, Lao Tzu will beat you to death!"

The sound of a man's scolding came from the corner of the street, accompanied by the crisp sound of a slap falling, and reached everyone's ears.

Looking at the voice, the oily middle-aged man scolded the girl in front of him, and the slap rained down on the girl.

The girl looked thirteen or fourteen years old, with a delicate appearance, and her back was straight like a sword.

was slapped several times in a row, her face was beaten to the side, and her face was swollen like a steamed bun, but her eyes were still resolute and resolute.

The fat-headed and big-eared man was even more angry, and he was angry and slapped you a few times: "Lao Tzu beat you to death!" You shameless slut, let you not listen to Lao Tzu......"

The fist rained down, and the girl still didn't say a word, but her face became more and more pale, and she was about to die......
