They have been running shops for several generations, but now the clan has stricter control over business people like them.
Moreover, the monthly payment is also rising higher and higher. Since last year, many people have had no choice but to close their shops, pack their bags and go home.
Before he left, he gave each of these old guys two hundred dollars.
He also said some heartfelt words. It wasn't that he didn't want these old guys to continue working with him, but that with his current ability, he couldn't even support himself, so why talk about these people?
But that two hundred dollars is not enough to support a family, even to eat a few full meals.
In desperation, Han Laoshi could only come up with the idea of selling the child. In fact, he felt uncomfortable. After all, whether it was his eldest sister or other children, he had watched them grow up.
They have lived together for these years, and they can be regarded as sharing the same feelings of adversity.
It's just that human nature is selfish. In the face of the life and death of one's own family, those life-saving graces in the past seem insignificant.
And he also made up his mind, if Brother Bao really came to find him in the future, he would be willing to die at the hands of Brother Bao, but now he just wanted to let his wife and children live.
Sister-in-law Han desperately grabbed her man.
She didn't understand any big principles, but she knew that if they really sold their children, their conscience would be gone.
People can live in this world without money, but they cannot live without conscience.
And she didn't want to be accused of being ungrateful when she went to see her brother and sister-in-law of the Yuan family a hundred years later.
Then she would rather starve to death in front of him now.
She had returned to her parents' home before, so she didn't know about it.
If she had known earlier, she would have killed herself in front of her husband, and she would never have allowed him to sell the benefactor's children.
"But if I don't sell my eldest sister, our family will starve to death! I, I can't bear to part with it, but what can I do?"
The couple hugged each other and cried.
In the small woodshed, the three children were hugging each other.
"Sister, what if they really sell you?"
The youngest child is only eight years old now.
He was still an infant when he was snatched out of his home by Yuan Bao.
He is not actually Yuan Bao's biological brother, in fact he can only be regarded as a cousin, but at that time he was almost frozen to death in the cold wind.
It was the eldest brother who accepted him with his own unstable embrace and later took him away.
For so many years, he has been treating Yuan Bao He regards him as his biological eldest brother and his younger siblings as his biological brothers and sisters.
As a young boy, he only has one thought in his mind right now: he doesn't want to be separated from his brothers and sisters.
If that person had to sell his sister, he would rather go with her!
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Big brother will come to save us. Big brother will definitely come. You wait here for big brother first."
The eldest sister is only thirteen years old now.
But because she had not lived a good life these past few years and often had neither enough food nor clothing to keep warm, she looked like a ten-year-old child.
But the bad thing is that she has a very beautiful face.
Even though she was wearing shabby clothes and was so thin that she had no flesh on her body, she still couldn't hide her natural beauty.
In fact, when she was young, she didn't understand how dangerous a beautiful girl is in today's world.
The most important thing is that although she is beautiful, she has no way to protect herself, which makes her fate even more bumpy.
In fact, even if Uncle Han doesn't sell her, there are already some rumors in the village that the Han couple will marry her off to a rich man as a concubine when she grows up.
This is the best fate for those good-looking girls in this mountain village.
She had also seen a girl she used to play with marrying a rich man who could be her father.
That girl left in tears that day. Even though she chased the sedan chair for a long time, the girl didn't leave a word to her in the end.
Later, she heard from the people in the village that the girl was tied up and taken away.
She suddenly felt a little chilly.
A tied up girl doesn't look like a person at all.
She is more like the pig that the rich families killed during the Chinese New Year.
She didn't know why she thought so, but if she could get a good education, she would now know that feeling is called cold lips and teeth.
The last one was the pretty girl, who knows whose turn it will be next?
She only knew that if she was really sold, she might be tied up and taken away like that girl, right?
But she didn't want that ending, she felt that such an ending was too tragic.
In fact, she had already received some enlightenment education before they were taken away from the Yuan family by her eldest brother.
So she vaguely knew
It's not a good thing to go with that woman called Sister Hua.
And she didn't want to be someone else's concubine. The reason why she and her eldest brother were kicked out of their home was because of a concubine.
But later that concubine became their stepmother, and that was after their father left.
Children without their parents are like grass without roots. They fall wherever the wind blows. Now they may really be swallowed by the wind.
The eldest sister comforted the younger brothers, and then looked out of the yard nervously.
She didn't know what the final result of Uncle Han's discussion with Aunt Han was, but she knew that they might not be able to stay in this house anymore.
She wanted to take her younger brothers to find her eldest brother, but she didn't know where he was or how to get there.
Every time his eldest brother received a letter, Uncle Han would happily pick it up.
Of course she knew, because her brother would always send back a lot of money with the letter.
In the past, only a small part of this money could be spent on them, but it was enough to allow them to have a roof over their heads, and at least they would not starve to death or freeze to death.
In fact, she didn't think much about these things, after all, they were living under someone else's roof now.
But she didn't want to be sold away like this, but she was powerless to resist.
If she was really sold, she might find a way to escape to find her eldest brother, and then bring her eldest brother to rescue her younger brothers.
The only thing she is worried about now is, after successfully selling her, will Uncle Han sell his brothers?
If her brothers are also lost, where should she look for them?
The girl who is not very knowledgeable does not know that if she is really taken away by Sister Hua today, she may never be able to reunite with her relatives again.
Uncle Han and Aunt Han hugged each other outside and cried for a long time. Finally, the two of them entered the house without knowing what they said.
Sister Yuan did not dare to go near their house, so she had to hug her brothers and continue to sit next to each other in the woodshed.
It was just dark, and as soon as the shadow came, he walked out of the main room and walked quickly outside.
I don't know how long it took, but another shadow hurriedly ran out, but she stopped outside the woodshed, and then someone gently knocked on the door of the woodshed.
"Big sister, big sister! Wake up, wake up!"
The children inside were immediately alarmed. Sister Yuan looked at the door with some fear and asked cautiously, "Auntie, what do you want from me?"
"You open the door first. I have something very important to tell you. Hurry up, otherwise it will be too late."
exist After her aunt's repeated urging, Sister Yuan finally opened the door of the woodshed, and then her aunt walked in.
In her hand, she held a small bundle that was still patched, and she thrust it into the eldest sister's hand.
"Sister, we, husband and wife, are sorry for you. You should take them and leave now. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave if my boss comes back any later!"
Aunt Han's eyes were full of tears. She originally thought that she had persuaded her husband, but she didn't want him to get up and go out while she was asleep.
As his pillow, she certainly knows what her husband is thinking.
In his heart, I am afraid that he and his children are far more important than the children of these benefactors.
Although it was said that people would be punished if they didn't do it for themselves, she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
She felt that if she really did this, then she would be like living in hell for the rest of her life, carrying the guilt of these children with her for the rest of her life.
Sister Yuan held the small bundle and tears fell from her eyes.
She hugged Aunt Han tightly, sobbed in a low voice and asked, "But Aunt, if we run away like this, how will you explain it to uncle? What if he sells the sisters?"
The sisters she refers to are the two biological children of the Han family.
When Aunt Han heard this, she couldn't help but hug the eldest sister in her arms tightly.
"There's nothing we can do about it, because we were born with this fate!"
In fact, she knew in her heart that even if there was no eldest sister today, he would probably sell one of his two biological daughters, but now there is a better choice.
She knew that her husband actually wanted to live more.
He can sell his benefactor's child today, but he can sell his own daughter tomorrow.
Once he has such thoughts, his heart will forever become a devil, and he will never stop such evil deeds.
It has to be said that among the couple in the Han family, the wife who seems to be uneducated and uninformed has a clearer heart.
"Well, how about I take my two sisters away with me, but I won't be able to make any money, and I won't be able to support them!"
The eldest sister was so anxious that she cried.
Compared to Uncle Han, she actually gets along quite well with her two sisters and aunt.
Aunt Han felt sad when she heard this, but she still pushed her eldest sister firmly.
"Okay, good boy, you don't need to worry about these things. You'd better take your brothers and leave first! After all, they still have me as their biological mother."
At this moment, the eldest sister did not hear the determination in her aunt's words.
