Chapter 2: The Unfulfilled Wish of the Original Owner
At this moment, the crumbling wooden door was pushed open again.
The man who was hunched pushed two emaciated children in, and his brow furrowed even deeper when he saw the water in the clay bowl.
He scolded in a low voice, "The kindness of the woman! β
Then he slammed his crutches on the ground and yelled at the two children who were pushed over.
"Ahem, Erya, Zhuzi! Come here! β
The child, who had already been told outside, was called by name, drooped his head, rubbed his heels against the ground, and moved forward little by little.
walked to the edge of the kang and shouted timidly, "Sister." β
Then he bit his lower lip and stopped talking anyway.
Liu Shayue leaned against the wall weakly, looking at the two children with yellow hair, the feelings that belonged to the original owner in her heart were stimulated when she saw these two younger brothers and sisters.
Her heart felt like she had been pricked by a dense needle, and her heart was very distressed.
It seems that the original owner's feelings for these two younger siblings are deeper than those for his father, and Liu Shayue clutched her chest and wanted to suppress her emotional abnormality.
The father of the original owner stood aside, watching the two children stand motionless in place, and did not persuade their eldest sister to sell herself as explained to find a way out for them.
I couldn't help but be anxious, and I raised my cane and was about to hit them.
"Are you all dumb?! Who is Lao Tzu for! If you don't say it, we won't live! β
Seeing his younger brothers and sisters being beaten, at this moment, the emotions of the original owner rushed to his brain, and he immediately controlled Liu Shayue's weak body.
Her mouth is faster than her brain.
"Daddy! Don't beat them, I'm willing to go to Zhao's house! β
As soon as these words came out, Liu Shaoyue returned to the cage with reason and fierceness, chuckled in her heart, and secretly scolded badly!
At the same time, her mind flashed the image of the original owner and her younger siblings being hungry, pushing each other to say that they were not hungry in front of a bowl of rice soup that could be seen at the bottom of the bowl.
By the time she broke free from her memories, the whole room was already crying.
The younger brother lay on the edge of the kang and cried heartbreakingly.
"Big sister! You don't go! I don't want you to go! β
The younger sister was older than the younger brother, understood something, and clutched the corners of her clothes tightly.
I only cried quietly, muttering to my sister, but I couldn't say anything to tell my sister not to leave, because their father said that my sister was going to live a good life, and she wanted her sister to live a good life.
Seeing her loosen her mouth, Liu Daqiang, who had been holding his face tight, finally loosened his brows.
He crutched on crutches and sighed heavily.
"Big girl, you finally figured it out, hey! You have to go out to live!
Dad will go to the tooth man, while the sky is still bright, you will go to Zhao's house tonight, and you can save your younger brothers and sisters a mouthful of food. β
As he spoke, he pushed open the wooden door and walked out, not even giving her a chance to regret it.
Liu Shayue looked at his rickety back with a complicated expression, in his memory, this father was also a loving father when the original owner was a child.
But since the years in the field have become worse and worse, his back has become more and more bent, and the anger on his face has become more and more.
is becoming more and more indifferent to her eldest daughter, and now that the family is like this, it can't be said that his decision is wrong, but people's hearts are flesh and blood, and the remaining will of the original owner will still feel sad.
Liu Shayue took a deep breath, and the feeling of being controlled just now couldn't help but make her feel frightened, could it be that there was still the soul of the original owner in this body?
That's not good, she has to find a way to persuade the original owner who has starved to death away, she doesn't want to share a body with others.
And now that he has agreed to sell himself, it seems that there is no room for maneuver, so the top priority is to find out the situation of the Zhao family first.
Seeing her father's rickety back quickly disappear outside the door, Liu Shayue turned to look at the original owner, a mother who only knew how to wipe her tears.
"Mother, my daughter is willing to sell herself as a slave for her younger brothers and sisters, but my daughter doesn't understand, now that the year is so bad, why does the Zhao family still want to buy a new maid?"
The woman wiping her tears by the kang heard her eldest daughter's question, sniffed, shook her head and sighed.
"The harvest is not good, it is the business of our farmers, the rich families have a solid background, what is the calculation of buying a few people, people have money, you will have a good life if you work hard."
Seeing that the original owner's mother didn't say anything useful for a long time, Liu Shayue couldn't help but sink in her heart.
When a poor family sells its children, they only value the price, and they have no right to ask what their children want to do when they are handed over to others, and they have no intention of inquiring.
Now that the situation of the Zhao family is unknown, Liu Shayue regrets being influenced by the original owner just now, and impulsively agrees to the decision to sell herself as a slave.
She has to quickly free herself from the influence of the original owner, she sold herself just now, and next time she may not poke a bigger basket.
She began to wonder if she should run away, after all, she was still a civilian, and the probability of escaping was greater, and it was more important for her to protect herself than anything.
Suddenly, a small hand reached out from the side and grabbed the hem of her clothes.
Looking at the little hand, Erya's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at her timidly, and her voice was as small as a mosquito.
"Big sister, I know why."
Liu Shayue looked at Erya's thin and small appearance, and her mind moved slightly.
"Erya, what do you know? Is it okay to tell my sister? β
Er Ya got her sister's encouragement, pursed her lips and glanced at their mother, she didn't stop it, Er Ya whispered.
"When I went to pick up branches, I heard the second dog of the Lizheng family say that the Zhao family released a group of domestic servants at the beginning of the year, and it seems that they are coming to the distinguished guests this year, so they want to find some handsome maids."
Erya's voice was cowardly, but it was very clear.
Liu Shayue couldn't help but look at her a few more times, compared to the soft-hearted mother who could only cry, this little sister was more capable of taking things.
Since it is just to entertain distinguished guests and serve as a faΓ§ade, then the Zhao family should not be a treacherous family, and Liu Shayue also stopped thinking of fleeing.
His own people are unfamiliar and weak, and he will not be starved to death if he goes to a serious person to be a maid.
She habitually analyzes the optimal solution according to the existing conditions.
And she still has the original owner's affairs to solve, she is not sure if she stays with this family and runs away by herself, whether the original owner will make any more trouble for her.
So she still needs to follow her wishes to get this done.
Liu Shayue reached out and patted Erya's head as a sign of encouragement.
"Erya is so good, it's really hard to inquire so much about my sister."
Liu Shayue moved her body to the edge of the kang and turned her head to look at her mother on the side.
"Mother, I'm leaving, can you help me pack a few changes of clothes, my body is really uncomfortable."
The woman knew that she couldn't live with her eldest daughter, so she hurriedly agreed to this little thing.
"Hey, I'll go."
After Liu Shayue took her mother away, she faced the two of them alone.
The children of the poor family were in charge of the house early, and the two children had already stopped crying.
Surrounded by her with a reluctant face.
"Sister, if you don't feel well, don't go, I can catch locusts to eat, I told my father that I raised you, don't go......"
The youngest brother, Zhuzi, pulled the corner of her clothes and whispered.
Liu Shayue sighed and patted their heads.
"Alright, there's no time, close your eyes."
Although the two little beans didn't know why their sister asked them to close their eyes, they closed them obediently out of trust.
The piece of toffee that I had just eaten was not hungry at all, and Liu Shayue took advantage of the two little beans to close her eyes.
Quickly stuffed another piece of candy into her mouth, but she didn't eat alone, and also stuffed a piece in their mouths.
The rich milky aroma and sweetness made the two children stunned all at once, they had never eaten such milky candy.
The secretion of saliva in the mouth is not controlled at all.
The younger he gets, the longer he is controlled by the candy, and the pillar is still silly sucking on the rare sweetness.
Erya had already reacted, and she asked with her eyes closed.
"Sister, is this sugar? I don't eat it, I'll give it to my eldest sister ......"
said that Erya was about to spit it out to her eldest sister, in her impression, the eldest sister was like this, if there were any good things, she would only secretly share them with her younger brother.
The eldest sister misses her, and she also misses the eldest sister.
