"Oh my God!" Mother Xu groaned, sat down on the ground, slapped the ground, stirred up a lot of dust, and cried loudly.

Xu Ping dragged her up, "Mother, don't cry." ”

Xu An also went to help her, secretly wiping her tears, she couldn't forget what her mother said that she was going to sell her, but if she didn't sell her, what if the eldest brother really went to jail?

In the quarrel just now, the red dates brought back by Xu Ling rolled to the ground, and some were trampled to pieces.

Xu Ling stood for a while before bending down to pick up all the dates.

Now he is not in the mood to share dates.

The family was depressed, crying or in a daze, and didn't know what to do.

Soon, it was getting dark, and another unexpected guest arrived.

The person who came was Gu Zhen's father and eldest brother.

Gu Litian looked at the small courtyard slowly, his eyelids jumped straight underneath, and he raised his hoe to beat Xu Ling with hatred, "You bastard!" You've killed my daughter! ”

He heard from the people in the village that the Wang family went to Xu's house to ask for debts, and if he couldn't collect the debts, he would sell Gu Zhen and the eldest girl, and he just came back from the field and ran over without even drinking saliva.

"Gu Yuan, come out!" Gu Litian called Gu Zhen out, "I'm going to take them away today!" You can find a way to get the goods out of your own way! No one can sell my daughter! ”

Gu Zhen walked over with the eldest girl in her arms, and as soon as the eldest girl saw Xu Ling, she stretched out her little hand to ask him.

The little girl was only a little more than a year old, and she didn't remember anything about the bad treatment of her father in the past, and she seemed to have forgotten everything, but she only remembered that her father would talk to her gently, promise her a lot of things, and occasionally the sea would attach it to her ear and tell her stories.

The eldest girl likes Daddy, her little face is swollen red from crying, she looks very aggrieved, and she shouts vigorously: "Daddy, Daddy!" ”

Xu Ling's heart was about to break, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to hug the eldest girl, Gu Daliang stopped in front of Xu Ling, glared at him and said, "You still have the face to hug her!" ”

Seeing that someone was blocking Xu Ling, the eldest girl cried even more.

At this time, Gu Zhen said softly: "Brother, let him hug the eldest girl." ”

Gu Daliang looked at his sister in disbelief, "My father and I are going to take you back, why are you still letting him hold the child?" ”

Gu Zhen lowered his eyelashes, "After all, he is the child's father." ”

Gu Daliangqi's nostrils were all open, "If it weren't for this bastard who fell into the water while you fell into the water......

"That's it! Don't say this in front of the big girl! Gu Yu's voice was raised, and the eldest girl was sent to Xu Ling's arms, and the eldest girl hugged Xu Ling tightly at once, first crying twice, and then slowly stopped crying, she lay on Xu Ling's body trustingly, as if she had forgotten the pain that this man had brought her.

Gu Zhen looked at this scene, pain flashed in her eyes, she shed tears, and reached out to wipe it again.

Xu Ling can feel her pain, the person she hates, but she is trusted by the child she deeply protects, this kind of contradictory pain makes Gu Yi unable to make a choice from her heart.

Leaving the Xu family is now the best opportunity, but how can she abandon her children and leave.

Gu Litian couldn't bear it, and squatted on the side with his head in his hands and sighed.

As soon as Mother Xu wanted to cry and play tricks like usual, Xu Ling sensed her intention and asked her to calm down.

He walked up to Gu Yu with the eldest girl in his arms, and asked solemnly again: "Gu Huan, I really want to change, can you give me another chance, give me three months, I will pay off the debt, if I can't do it, I will reconcile with you at that time, and let you leave with the eldest girl." ”

"Is that okay?"

Gu Yu blinked his blurry teary eyes, as if he wanted to see Xu Ling's expression clearly.

But before she could see it clearly, Xu Ling sent the eldest girl back into her arms, walked up to Gu Litian, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed.

"In the past, I was sorry for Gu Zhen and the eldest girl, Dad, I really plan to be a good person and live a good life, you can believe me again!"

Xu Ling endured all this, endured the humiliation and guilt she shouldn't have tolerate, and then reborn.

Is this the price of surviving for others?

Xu Ling didn't know.

But she knew that this time, she was really going to start doing Xu Ling.

Gu Litian was silent, and Gu Daliang asked him: "You said that you want to change it, but in three months, where did you get forty taels of silver?" ”

Xu Lingdao: "I will find a way, I am not afraid of hardship!" ”

"It's not something you can't suffer! Do you know how much grain a family can harvest in a year's cropping, and how much money they can earn when they sell it all? "Gu Daliang is aggressive.

Xu Ling is stuck.

He hadn't had a good life before, so how could he know this.

Gu Litian was no longer silent, he said: "You go to the dock, find a foreman to carry the bag for people, see who wants you, as long as you are willing to endure hardships and use your brains, you may be able to earn this money." ”

"Don't stay at home, get out."

There is a big river flowing through Lianhuawanzi, and in the town, there are many water terminals, which I don't know where the river comes from, but it flows through many places. Those who are willing to go out can rely on this river to do water transportation business to support their families, and those who are unwilling to go out can also support their families by relying on this river to farm.

Xu Ling responded, "Okay, I'll go out." ”

Gu Litian saw that he listened to the persuasion, and his expression was also a little relieved, he stood up, but his waist couldn't stand up, and his momentum seemed to be much weaker.

He asked Gu Zhen, "Do you want to go home with me now, or do you want to trust him again?" ”

Gu Yu hugged the eldest girl tightly and said softly, "Dad, I won't go back." ”

Gu Litian sighed deeply, "Okay, then give him another chance, tomorrow," he turned to look at Xu Ling, "Tomorrow you will leave the house, don't care how long you go, and come back after making money." ”

As long as Xu Ling is not at home, he always has a way to beg the Wang family not to be angry with the rest of the Xu family.

Xu Ling also understood what he meant, and his heart was sour.

Gu Litian explained a few more words, he didn't want to stay longer, and he was about to leave with Gu Daliang.

Xu Ling gave the soiled dates to Gu Daliang, Gu Daliang was a little surprised, thought about it, hesitated for a while, and only grabbed two handfuls and left.

There is only one family left in the family, there are no candles at home, so they can only use the moonlight, Xu's mother cried and went to cook, and made the remaining half of the noodles into cakes.

This cake did not reach the stomach of the Xu family, and it was to be left for Xu Ling to eat on the road tomorrow.

Xu Ling didn't allow it, forcing the family to share the cakes with him, and eat dates together.

Dates are sweet, but they don't taste as good when mixed with tears.

The night was long and somewhat short.

The next day, the rooster crowed three times, and before dawn, Xu Ling got up.

He came together, and Gu Zhen also got up, carrying him the package he had packed last night, and accompanied the Xu family to send Xu Ling to the entrance of the village.

Xu Ling looked at his family again and again, he was just used to it, and he was about to leave again.

When the words came to his lips, he just told Xu Ping and Xu An not to learn from him to do things, take care of the vegetable patch in the backyard, and take care of his mother and sister-in-law.

Tell Mother Xu not to cry, beware of crying eyes, don't pick up other people's clothes, and when he comes back, he must buy them all new clothes to wear.

When it was Gu Yu's turn, he couldn't say anything, he only patted Gu Yu's shoulder, his lips moved twice, turned around and crossed the wooden bridge, and left the village.
