The woman looked Chi Tao up and down, and opened her mouth for the first time: "How old is it?" ”

Lu Fenglian hurriedly said: "Fifteen! ”

The woman glanced at Lu Fenglian dissatisfiedly: "Let her say it herself." He asked Chi Tao again, "What's it called?" ”

Seeing Lu Fenglian's nervous face, Chi Tao instead had a narrow heart, and said with a smile: "Chi Tao, the pond of the pond, the peach of the peach tree." ”

The woman was a little surprised: "Do you know how to read?" ”

Lu Fenglian was also surprised and happy in her heart, afraid that this girl would make a fuss when she heard that she was going to sell her, and she hadn't told her yet, she didn't expect to behave so well!

Chi Tao smiled and nodded: "If you see others reading and writing, you can recognize it." ”

"What a clever girl. But at this age, he was born thinner. ”

Ma Shi hurriedly said: "What are you afraid of when you are thin?" For children, eat two more meals and it will grow. ”

The woman nodded, her eyes full of satisfaction. Seeing the opportunity, Ma said to Chi Tao: "Tao'er go out to play, let's gossip." ”

Lu Fenglian hurriedly drove Chi Tao out and closed the door: "Do you think so?" ”

The woman smiled but did not say a word, and took a shallow sip from her teacup.

Ma Shi was overjoyed: "This is what I like!" ”

Lu Fenglian was so happy that she didn't even know where to put her hand: "Hey, hey, ..... ..... money?" ”

Ma Shi glanced at her: "You are indispensable!" ”

"I heard that you are a stepmother, and you may be the father of the child?"

"Yes, yes. I'm supposed to be in charge of the whole house! ”

The woman slowly took out a purse from her bosom and counted out a few pieces of broken silver: "This is twenty taels for you first." Ten days is a good day, you send the child over, and I will give you the remaining half. Today, the sister of the Ma family came to call me early in the morning, and I came out in a hurry and didn't bring the deed to let you draw a charge, and then I will do it together. She smiled, "I'm not afraid of you defaulting on your bills." ”

"Yes, yes." Lu Fenglian looked at the silver on the table, "Look at what you said, isn't it a joke." What is your identity, what is our identity, and how many dare to jump in front of you? ”

Ma affectionately took the woman away, and Lu Fenglian counted and counted the silver on the table, weighed and weighed, and then wrapped it in a handkerchief and locked it in the box. Seeing that Chi Tao was not working in the yard, he opened his mouth and just wanted to scold, but suddenly stopped his mouth again.

Chi Tao had already packed up the few clothes he had, and was in the firewood room in the backyard at the moment, looking for something to use.

In the firewood room, there was a firewood knife that Chi Xing used to go up the mountain to chop firewood, which was already a little dull, so Chi Tao put on the whetstone and honestly sharpened it for a while, until the light could be seen. I also saw that there was a water bladder that Chi Changhai brought when he went into the mountains to hunt in the spring, so he also filled it with water and put it into the baggage.

For lunch and dinner, Chi Tao honestly cooked in the kitchen, and Lu Fenglian didn't say anything, only Chi Changhai wanted to speak a few times, and finally just poured two more glasses of soju.

Chi Tao has seen through Chi Changhai, whether he is patriarchal, whether he has a newcomer and forgets the old, he doesn't have much affection for Chi Xing and his two daughters. Chi Xing still has some natural admiration for him, but Chi Tao doesn't want to call dad to this irresponsible man anymore.

Late at night, Chi Tao wrapped the cake that he had deliberately baked and hidden during the day's cooking and put it into the baggage, and carried the fire sickle in his arms, tied the burden to his back, and turned out of the backyard with ease.

The night was thick and it was cold in spring, and the people in the village rested early, and the road was silent.

Chi Tao turned left and right for a while, and when he reached the back wall of a house, he climbed up the tree again.

This is Chi Xing's husband's Wang family, before leaving, she has to see if Chi Xing is doing well to feel at ease.

Chi Tao saw that the lights had not been turned off in the Wangjiatang house, so he crept into the back door of the hall to look inside, just like the last time.

I saw that the hall was brightly lit, and Wang Changshi was sitting on a chair.

Strangely, Wang Xian was not in the house, but Fugui was huddled in another chair, bowing his head and playing with his fingers.

Wang Changshi seemed to be waiting for something, and there was an eerie silence in the room.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the front yard, and I saw Chi Xing rushing out of the east wing and rushing into the hall.

Her hair was scattered and her clothes were disheveled, and when she saw Wang Chang's, she rushed over and hugged Wang Chang's leg like seeing a savior: "Mother! Mother! Daddy...... "But he couldn't say anything."

Wang Changshi did not answer with a calm face, raised his eyes and looked at the door, Wang Xian walked in with a gloomy face, and when he saw Wang Changshi looking at himself, he shook his head slightly.
