The village chief and his wife took Miao Xiang out of Cao's house. When the villagers saw it, they couldn't help but be curious.
Why did the village chief take Miao Xiang away when he stayed to deal with Miao Xiang's matter?
Seeing everyone poking their heads, the village chief only told what the village chief's wife had just said, and didn't say much else.
But when the villagers listened, they all figured it out on their own.
Look at how Cao Daqiao kept silent from beginning to end. He is said to be honest and doesn't talk much, but generally honest people are not easy to deal with. How about saying that a biting dog doesn't bark?
Who would have thought that Yin Qiuqiu, a man of few words, would have such a hobby?
Men can be lustful and have sex as long as they want, but they always listen to gossip about which man is hooking up with which widow, which man is visiting the brothel, and so on.
This is the first time I have ever seen someone touching a young child.
The person who caused this disaster was his own daughter. Only animals with no understanding of human nature could do such a thing, right?
Oh, no, this Qingzao is not his daughter. Didn’t he take action today?
It can be seen that this Cao Daqiao just stared at the people around him, thinking that no one else would know, and did such a thing secretly!
If Qing Zao hadn't had a bad temper and yelled on his own, Fang wouldn't have known about it, so he would have exploded on the spot.
If you were as silent as Miao Xiang, no one would know.
Miao Xiang is too soft.
I'm afraid that I know he is my biological father, so I don't dare to shout out, right?
It’s hard to stay at home. Do you really expect Cao Daqiao to accept it?
Looking at the dead look just now, it's not necessarily that.
You might as well go home with the village chief.
But work is work, and the village chief’s family can’t always keep Miao Xiang at home, right?
This matter still needs to be corrected by Cao Daqiao.
The villagers looked at Cao's yard from a distance and shook their heads.
In the Cao family hall, as soon as the village chief and his wife left, Cao Daqiao suddenly raised his head and looked at Mrs. Cao, "How can I just accept it? Ten coins a day is not a wage. I can make two more baskets."
came back."
Mrs. Cao glared at him, "How many baskets have you made over the years? How come our family is still so poor?"
"Mother, do you think your son is useless?" Cao Daqiao sneered, his face turned ferocious, "Yes, my son has no future and can only weave baskets for the rest of his life. He will be poor all his life and be looked down upon by others! If it weren't for my mother, my son would be like this.
My feet are fine, but now I am a scholar no matter how big or small I am!"
Mrs. Cao choked, and when she thought of the past, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and she suddenly seemed to be dwarfed.
At that time, my wife was still there, and their family was living a good life. They had such a precious son, so they sent him to the town to study. The son was also smart, and even his husband praised him for being good at reading and learning quickly.
The couple listened to their husband's praise, and then watched their smart son reciting articles and writing in big characters. They couldn't be more happy.
My wife also always said that my son was good at studying, and the couple worked hard to support their son in studying for the imperial examination, so that he could become a high official in the future.
Can……
It's all her fault!
If she had not rushed back to her parents' home to see her sick mother in the rain that day, she would not have slipped and dragged her nine-year-old son down the hillside.
Why isn't it her?
But God didn't open his eyes and told her to be good, but he ruined one of her son's legs!
The son is lame and can no longer read. This is the beginning of the Cao family’s nightmare!
My son was right, it was all because of her!
She is the sinner of the Cao family!
Mrs. Cao covered her face and cried until she burst into tears.
But Cao Daqiao only watched with cold eyes and did nothing.
It wasn't until Granny Cao was done crying that Cao Daqiao said in a low voice: "Our family is even poorer now, and I'm afraid even widows won't want to marry in."
Mrs. Cao choked, thinking about her grandson, and gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, my mother will find a good wife for you even if she risks her life."
Cao Daqiao shook his head, "My son doesn't want a widow."
“Then I’ll try my best to find a way to give you a beautiful girl!”
"...Let Miao Xiang come back, even if you don't have to pay for these ten days a day, it doesn't matter if our family is raised by someone else."
After hearing this, Mrs. Cao felt guilty, so she hurriedly said: "The village chief is still upset today. Let's go in two days. In two days, my mother will call Miao Xiang back."
Cao Daqiao hummed and said nothing more.
Mrs. Cao hesitated, but couldn't help it. Her eyes were pleading: "Son! We are from Songshan Village and we want to live here. The whole village knows about this. If we tell it... just bear with it."
Ren, please stop doing anything to Miao Xiang, okay? After all, she is your daughter, and she will get married in the future."
Cao Daqiao had a cold face, pursed his lips tightly, and said for a moment: "After so many years, my son likes the bones in his body that have not grown."
Mrs. Cao:......
"Mom, would you like to find a way to raise money and buy you a little girl to be your wife?"
Although the little girl is too young to give birth to grandchildren after buying her, there is nothing she can do about her son's situation.
The worst she can do is wait a few more years until that little girl grows up and gives birth to a grandson before she can close her eyes again.
Otherwise, the son is still young and does not have a woman by his side, which is also a sin.
Now that everyone in the village knows it, they can't continue to harm Miao Xiang. The villagers' saliva will drown the mother and son.
Mrs. Cao looked at it eagerly. After a while, Cao Daqiao nodded, "I want someone under ten years old, something cleaner."
After hearing that her son agreed, Mrs. Cao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to calm her son's heart as soon as possible, Mrs. Cao was also worried. Where could she get money for him now?
To buy a little girl, no matter how little it is, it still costs two taels of silver, right?
Who can I borrow it from?
My sister's family is not rich either.
No one in the village could give her two taels of silver at once.
Oh, by the way, the Song family can.
Mrs. Cao's eyes lit up, and she immediately wanted to go to the Song family to find the old Yuan family.
But thinking that something happened at home just now, and the villagers were still pointing fingers, she was a little embarrassed to go out.
Let's go again tomorrow.
…
On the village chief's side, Miao Xiang was led back home by the village chief's mother-in-law, and then she came back to her senses, a little scared, "Village chief's grandma..."
Seeing her like this, the village chief's wife gave her two candies, touched her head, and said warmly: "Miao Xiang, don't be afraid, she lives here with the village chief's grandma. The village chief's grandma wants you to help with work, Miao Xiang."
He is the most powerful person in terms of fragrance. Come on, eat some candy and see if it’s sweet or not?”
Miao Xiang took the candy and squeezed it tightly, murmuring: "I...Village Chief Grandma...will they not want me if I give birth to my baby?"
"Why don't I want you? Didn't you hear me just now? I asked you to come and work. It costs ten cents a day, so you have to work hard." The village chief's wife laughed.
Miao Xiang listened and nodded in agreement, "I will help the village chief and grandma with her work. I am very diligent."
The village chief's wife touched her head, removed the oil paper and fed the candy into Miao Xiang's mouth.
Miao Xiang held the sugar in her mouth, and the sugary taste suddenly spread in her mouth.
Sweet, so sweet.
Miao Xiang blinked, thinking about these things today.
It turns out that it was wrong for her father to treat her like that every time.
She knew that was not possible.
She also wanted to scream like Sister Qingzao.
Fortunately, fortunately, Sister Qingzao made a scene.
Dad won't do that to her again, right?
Probably not, everyone in the village knows about it.
She was afraid, and she didn't want to do that.
But she is also afraid that her father and mother will not want her, and then she will have no home.
So, is it okay to work here?
Ten cents a day, Nai agreed.
The village chief's grandma was so kind to her, so she had to do something good to repay her.
