On this day, Lu's sister-in-law Ma came and went, closed the door and talked in detail for a long time, and when they came out, they both smiled with their eyebrows, and Lu's sister-in-law also went around to the back to look at Chi Tao, and praised repeatedly: "What a handsome girl, and her body is also high." If you don't say it, it's not shorter than the fifteen or sixteen. He stuffed her with a piece of starch candy: "The concubine gave it, take it and eat it!" He shook his head and walked away.

Lu Shi also suddenly looked much kinder, and when he came back, he saw that she was still chopping wood, and hurriedly stopped: "How can the girl's family do such rough work?" I'll wait for your brother Wang'er to come back from school! ”

Chi Tao was surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.

In the evening, Chi Changhai came back from outside. After the family finished eating, the Lu family drove Wang'er and Huzi to the West House, and he and Chi Chang went to the customs.

Chi Tao returned to the grass hut, deliberately made some noise to close the door, and then jumped out of the window again.

Today, Lu's attitude is strange...... Abnormality is a demon!

She climbed the side wall of the pigsty and went up to the roof of the big house.

Carefully climbing to the top of the east house, Chi Tao gently lifted a tile.

In order to save money, only one candle was lit in the house, which looked a little dim.

Chi Changhai sat on the edge of the kang, smoking a dry cigarette pipe, as if thinking.

Lu sat on the side, staring at him with blazing eyes.

After a while, Chi Changhai said, "This ...... It's not ....... done."

Lu Shi was anxious: "Why can't it be?" How good is that? My sister-in-law listened to what they were saying in the village, that Ding Yanei's family buys maids, and if you don't pick anything else, just pick a good look! As long as people like it, it's forty taels! When will you and I be able to earn forty taels? ”

Chi Changhai hesitated: "But I heard that Ding Yanai is relying on his brother-in-law, and he has done a lot of things that lack morality." Besides, if you buy a maid to pick your appearance, I'm afraid you don't want to cause harm! ”

Lu Shi said "hi": "Are you still worried about this?" If you want me to say, are you afraid that he will not be a scourge? If he takes a fancy to Chi Tao, then how can Chi Tao also be an aunt's wife, and he will need to call the slave and maid in the future? I'm also a master with you! If you don't like it, when Chi Tao is old and has a small servant at home, it is not better than our shaving in the field? He stabbed Chi Changhai again: "I heard that the maids of large families are stronger than ordinary grandmothers!" Generally, they also wear gold and silver, and there are also mothers-in-law who call them, so they don't have to do a little heavy work! Again...... With forty taels, not to mention Wang'er's family affairs, you don't have to worry about it, you can also buy a few more acres of land! ”

Chi Changhai was still hesitant, and when Lu Shi saw that he had loosened up, he snatched the dry tobacco pipe and put it aside, scattered his jacket, and said coquettishly: "Oh, I see that I am the one who is the master, and I will let the slave and maid serve you!" ”

Blowing out the candle as he spoke, Chi Tao heard Chi Changhai say while laughing: "Then Ming'er, you go to your sister-in-law's house to ask, so that you can send the girl to ......."

Chi Tao covered the tiles and gently slid down the roof.

When I returned to the house, I couldn't help but feel resentful. Although he is not Chi Tao himself here, Chi Changhai, as a father, first married his eldest daughter to a fool, and then sold his younger daughter as a slave! It's not a famine year, and it's not a family that can't afford food and clothing, but it's just because of the instigation of his stepwife that he exchanged the two of them for money! Especially for the sake of marrying a son brought to his stepwife! What kind of dad is this?!

It doesn't sound like Li Yanei is not a good person, no matter what, if you run away from someone else's house, it's better to leave now! Besides, at that time, the Li family had her deed of sale in hand, and she was a fugitive slave, and she remembered that which dynasty and generation had severely cracked down on fugitive slaves.

Chi Tao strengthened her determination to escape, but she still wanted to say goodbye to Chi Xing again.

The next day, before Chi Tao could catch the loophole and sneak out of the house, Ma came again with a snack box and a woman in her forties.

The woman was dressed more than a little better than Lu Fenglian and Ma's, clean silk clothes, with smooth hair in a bun, a silver hairpin with auspicious clouds and a velvet flower on her head, and a silver bracelet on her wrist.

Chi Changhai was originally working in the yard, but when he saw someone coming, he only nodded, so he went out with a hoe sullenly.

Lu Fenglian and Ma Shi both smiled flatteringly at the woman, and Lu Fenglian didn't even know where to put her hand, so she wiped the chair with her sleeve, brought a plate of frozen pears, and poured tea: "You drink water!" Eat the fruit! ”

The woman smiled reservedly, but did not serve tea, and Ma Shi hurriedly stopped: "Oh, how can Sister-in-law Ding eat and drink these things that can't be on the table." Don't be busy, just ask your child to come out and see him. ”

"Okay, sit down, I'll call the girl out!" Lu Fenglian ran to the stove room with her feet and grabbed Chi Tao: "Tao'er, there are relatives at home, come and meet." ”

Chi Tao knew that it was the person who bought the maid who came, but he decided to leave tonight, so it didn't matter, and followed Lu Fenglian to the hall.

Ma stepped forward and pulled Chi Tao: "Tsk, it's not me who said it, my sister's family is a phoenix, and the two girls are like shallots!" ”
