Chapter 33: I Can Find You a Place
Xiao Wenjie was writing a letter in the house, and when he saw his sister and Youqing helping Xiaohuan in, he didn't ask too much, but only asked the messenger to get his medicine box.
When treating Xiaohuan's wounds, Xiao Wenjie frowned, in addition to new injuries, Xiaohuan also had many old injuries, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was tortured like this.
"Bear with me, what's going on on your leg?" Xiao Wenjie looked at the large black green on Xiaohuan's legs, and asked Xiaohuan.
Xiaohuan lowered his head and whispered, "It was the second master who beat him." ”
"Second uncle?" Xiao Wenjie seemed a little surprised, "Why did he beat you?" ”
"I hate me, I think I eat too much, and I hit ......" Xiaohuan's eyes were overflowing with tears again.
Listening to Xiaohuan's words, Xiao Wenjie's brothers and sisters and Youqing were silent, Xiao Wenyue was the first to break the silence, she seemed a little angry, and said, "Second uncle is too, Xiaohuan's age can be his daughter, and grandma clearly said that he is not allowed to take concubines, and he is still so harmful to other people's daughters." ”
Xiao Wenjie didn't say anything more, treated Xiaohuan's wound, and ordered the maid to step forward and help Xiaohuan aside to rest.
"Xiaohuan is too pitiful, big brother, can we think of ways to help her?" Xiao Wenyue said with emotion.
Xiao Wenjie wiped his hands, listening to his sister's words, a trace of melancholy appeared between Junyi's eyebrows, "We only see this small ring, but how many small rings are there in this world." ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Wenjie thought about it and went to ask someone to call the housekeeper.
"Is the Overseer in the mansion?" Xiao Wenjie asked.
"Back to the eldest young master, the Overseer has just returned, and is currently in the study of the main building."
Xiao Wenjie got an answer and looked at his sister, "I'll go to the main building." ”
"Big brother, I'll go with you." Xiao Wenyue was a little worried, so she only went with Xiao Wenjie, leaving Youqing alone to accompany Xiaohuan.
In the study, Xiao Yuanchuan was looking at the documents in his hand, and after seeing Xiao Wenjie and Xiao Wenyue, Xiao Yuanchuan was a little strange, "Why are you two here?" ”
Xiao Wenjie was not verbose, and directly told Xiaohuan about it.
Xiao Yuanchuan frowned, "That's your second uncle's housework, what are you involved with?" ”
"Father, now that it is a democratic society, our family should no longer engage in the big wife and small wife, you are the parent, if something like this happens under your nose, shouldn't you take care of it?" Xiao Wenjie's voice was very powerful, he looked at his father, and his dark eyes were full of hope.
"What do you want your father to do with the affairs of the back house?" Xiao Yuanchuan was unhappy in his heart, he has always loved this son, Xiao Wenjie is also angry, the young masters of other people's families have more or less the habits of a son-in-law, fighting cocks and walking dogs, not doing business, but Xiao Wenjie was admitted to university all the way and studied medicine, and he also relied on him, but I don't know if it is very wrong, this child has been against him in everything in the past two years, in his opinion, what happened to Xiao Mingchuan taking a concubine? Is it also worth being a son to preach to himself?
"You ask the second uncle to release Xiaohuan out of the house, and give her another sum of money, so that she can choose to study or marry independently." Xiao Wenjie said.
Xiao Yuanchuan was almost laughed at by his son, "You said it easily, that's your second uncle's aunt's wife, you let her go out to get married, where will your second uncle's face go?" ”
Listening to his father's words, the light in Xiao Wenjie's eyes slowly faded, he shook his head, and said in a low voice, "This family is really terrible, how many people it eats and how many people it harms, and you just watch it." ”
"What did you say?" Xiao Yuanchuan asked sharply.
Xiao Wenjie stopped talking, turned around and strode out of the study, Xiao Wenyue on the side hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve when he saw this, and begged, "Big brother, don't go." ”
Xiao Wenjie looked at his sister's eyes, he sighed and stopped.
Youqing poured a glass of water for Xiaohuan and handed it to her.
Xiaohuan had stopped crying, she raised her eyes to look at Youqing, and whispered thanks.
Youqing shook her head, and was just about to say something to her, when she heard a sound of footsteps, she turned her eyes and saw Xiao Wenya coming over with a grandmother, seeing her, Xiaohuan shook her body, and even the tea she had just received was knocked over on the ground, obviously very scared.
"Okay, I'm hiding here." Xiao Wenya ignored Youqing, and only stared at Xiaohuandao, "My mother is looking for you, why don't you go back quickly!" ”
"Second Miss, you and Mrs. Say, I, I ......" Xiaohuan trembled, as if she was about to cry again.
"Second Miss, she's injured." Youqing saw that Xiaohuan was so frightened that she couldn't speak, so she said a word for her.
"What about the injury?" Xiao Wenya raised her eyebrows, "She signed a deed of sale, and she is shameless to be small, and she deserves to be beaten to death." ”
"It was your father who bought her, and it was her father who sold her, what does it have to do with her? The people who bought her and sold her didn't feel ashamed, why didn't she know shame? Youqing didn't know where she got the courage to confront Xiao Wenya in person, perhaps, she thought that she was very likely to become another Xiaohuan, maybe, it was Xiao Wenjie's words, there are still many Xiaohuan in this world who are sold like objects, so she can't help but speak.
"Yo, when you climb the big tree of Yi Shikai, your waist is stiff, right?" Xiao Wenya "spitted" at Youqing, "What kind of good thing are you, you are all the way with her, don't you also want to make Yi Shikai small, no wonder the two of you can talk together!" ”
Youqing clenched her fingers angrily, "You don't want to frame others with empty mouths and white teeth, opening your mouth and closing your mouth is to be small, girls can also study, go to college, and go to work, not only the road to marry a man can go......"
"Gave you face, didn't you?" Xiao Wenya interrupted Youqing's words, and even wanted to step forward and slap her, but in the end, she cared about Xiao Hechuan, she knew that Uncle Nine was protecting this little Southern barbarian, so she only withdrew her hand and spoke contemptuously, "Keep talking about reading, you don't spend our Xiao family's money on reading!" ”
"Enough!" A male voice sounded at the door, Xiao Wenya looked back, her arrogance suddenly disappeared a lot, and she only shouted honestly, "Big brother." ”
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Wenjie asked.
Xiao Wenya pointed to Xiaohuan, "She is from our second room, I have to take her back." ”
"The injuries on her body are too serious, stay with Yueyue for the past two days, if the second uncle and second aunt are dissatisfied, they can come to me." Xiao Wenjie said.
Xiao Wenya seemed to want to say something, but she didn't dare to face Xiao Wenjie, they were in the second room, so they naturally had to be more restrained in front of Xiao Wenjie.
Xiao Wenya glared at Xiaohuan and left with her grandmother.
"Eldest young master, Miss Youqing, thank you, I, my life is cheap, so be it, I'd better go back with the second miss, don't make trouble for you." After Xiao Wenya left, Xiaohuan stood up tremblingly and spoke.
"Don't be self-contemptuous." Xiao Wenjie spoke.
"I don't have anywhere to go. When I go home, my dad will just continue to sell me, and maybe this time, he will sell me to the kiln. There was a sad smile on the corner of Xiaohuan's lips.
"If you want, I can find you a place to go." Xiao Wenjie paused, his voice was calm and powerful, "This place may be hard, but it is a place where everyone is equal, dignified, and hopeful. ”
