Chapter 37: It Fell Like This
"The two daughters who came out of the same family, how different their temperaments are, especially in these little things, the contrast is stark, which is like a person from the womb of a mother!"
"The Shen family's parents are not bad in nature, they are simple and honest people, but they are a little eccentric, how can they raise such a tumor as Shen Yuerong?"
There was a dignified old man in the crowd who snorted lightly and said sarcastically: "I think this Shen Yuerong has a bad nature, and she is doted on by her family, she has never suffered hardships, and it is normal for her to be crooked. β
As he spoke, the old man glanced at Shen Yubai, and the meaning was self-evident.
Shen Yubai's eyes seemed to be focused, staring at the light curtain, unaffected by the sound of discussion around him.
Only his hand hanging by his side trembled uncontrollably, betraying his true emotions at the moment.
Lin Yang knew that his senior brother was probably a little embarrassed now.
Lin Yang sighed faintly, if it was him, his sister, who had always been well-behaved and obedient in his eyes, suddenly became a selfish and scheming villain, and his emotions would have collapsed long ago, and he couldn't accept the truth at all.
The picture on the light curtain turns.
The scorching sun swept in the air, the earth was scorched, the ground cracked, and the crops in the fields were exhausted by the heat and lack of water.
The sky in the distance suddenly became black and compact, and it was dense and dense towards the village.
"What the hell is that? Could it be that the Demon Cult is playing tricks, and they actually attack the village of ordinary people!? β
"No, no, I'm afraid it's ......"
Shen Yu pursed his lips and slowly said the answer: "It's an insect plague." β
The so-called drought locust, in a long-term dry, hot and arid environment, will breed many insect pests, locust plague is one of the "outstanding", making the crop people fearful.
"The cost of that year was not good, and after the insect plague appeared, the family couldn't open the pot......"
Accompanied by Shen Yubai's bitter voice, everyone's emotions couldn't help but be brought into that difficult and barren year.
At that time, there was a drought and insect infestation in the village, Shen's father and Shen's mother worked hard, but the final harvest was still unsatisfactory, and being able to eat a meal of wild vegetables was already the best food at that time.
If you don't want to go hungry, the family can only go outside the village to change food, so Shen's father and Shen's mother have to go to the town to work as helpers and do hard work.
In order to prevent Shen Yubai and Shen Yuerong from starving, the Shen family's parents could only vacate their share and leave it to their children.
Even so, the remaining food was not enough for Shen Yuerong to eat alone.
"Even dogs can't eat these things, and they still let me eat them!"
With the family on her back, Shen Yuerong angrily threw the bowl and ruined all the life-saving food this year.
Shen Yubai, who was outside the light curtain, saw this scene and was so angry that his temples burst out.
This is the food that my father and mother would rather starve themselves than give to Shen Yuerong to eat, and she unexpectedly, unexpectedly, she threw it out like this!
Rao is Shen Yubai has always exonerated Shen Yuerong, and now she also feels that her approach is too much.
On this day, Shen's father was working outside, and on the way, he suddenly saw a family bidding two taels of silver to buy his daughter.
He stood in silence for a long time, and then returned home in silence.
In the evening, he talked to Shen's mother about it.
"Boss, you want to sell Yuerong?! I don't allow it! Shen's mother raised her voice slightly, and her first reaction was to refuse.
Father Shen took a big puff of dry tobacco, and after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "It's not Yuerong, I'm talking about ...... The kid. β
Mother Shen was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
This time she didn't hesitate for too long, "Yuexi...... She and she have done so many bad things, we have done our best to her, and now is indeed the time for her to share for us, and to repay us for her nurturing grace. β
These words did play a certain role in self-comfort, from the initial hesitation, to the end, Shen's mother was ruthless, "Tomorrow we will go to find Yuexi, if it is too late for that family to buy a suitable little girl as a daughter, we will have no chance, after all, now that natural disasters and man-made disasters, no one can guarantee that other families will not sell their daughters." β
On the second day, Shen's father and Shen's mother really found Shen Yuexi.
"Daddy? Mother? How did you guys get here! β
When Shen Yuexi saw the visitor, her eyes turned red in an instant, and she thought that her father and mother were finally willing to see her.
Since beating her and putting her in prison for Shen Yuerong's crimes, her father and mother have never taken the initiative to see her.
Looking at Shen Yuexi's clear eyes full of emotion, Shen's mother didn't dare to look directly for a while, and a feeling of panic and uneasiness surged in her heart.
Shen Yuexi is also a piece of meat that fell from her body in the end, how could she have no feelings for Shen Yuexi.
It's just that Shen Yuexi has been doing so many wrong things, and even almost killed their entire family......
Thinking of this, Shen's mother's softened heart became cold and hard again.
She actually knelt down directly towards Shen Yuexi.
"Mother, what are you doing, get up quickly!"
Shen Yuexi couldn't pull Mother Shen, so she had to kneel down, "Mother, I beg you, get up quickly!" β
"Mother also begs you, you send a kindness and help our family!"
Shen's mother wept bitterly and begged Shen Yuexi bitterly.
"Mother, what do you want me to do, just say it, don't do this, please!"
"Okay, in that case, then you can come with us!" Mother Shen got up and pulled Shen Yuexi and walked out.
"But mother, my work hasn't ...... done yet."
Shen Yuexi's words didn't have time to finish, and Shen's father and Shen's mother didn't plan to listen, so they just took people to a house in silence.
Liu Yuanwai's family planned to buy a daughter, Shen Yuexi heard about it in the town, and she was suddenly brought here by her father, and an unprecedented fear came to her heart.
"Father, mother, why are you here? Shall weβshall we go back? β
As she spoke, Shen Yuexi's lips couldn't stop trembling, and she almost couldn't even say a complete sentence.
"Yuexi, Liu Yuanwai is willing to spend two taels of silver to buy you, and with this money, our family will not have to go hungry, at least we can survive this little half a year."
Shen's mother glanced at her when she spoke, and couldn't bear to look at Shen Yuexi.
Her words exploded above Shen Yuexi's head like a thunderclap.
Daddy really wants to sell him......
Shen Yuexi, who realized this, was heartbroken, her eyes were full of water, and she couldn't hold back her tears from rolling down.
Until I finally couldn't help it, tears flowed down, wetting her cheeks, and shedding two tear stains, "Mother, I beg you, don't sell me, I'll work hard to help the family, I don't need food and clothing, I just want to be your daughter, I don't want to ...... Don't want to be sold. β
Shen Yuexi said as she knelt in front of her father and kowtowed.
Her forehead was shattered, and her head was covered with blood.
