Grandma Cao was deeply moved when she heard her sister's sincere words of concern for their mother and son.
In this world, apart from her son, this is her biological sister who is the closest to her.
If you don't want to tell anyone, can you really hide it from a girl?
She couldn't hide the current situation, so she immediately told Xiao Ma everything in detail.
Xiao Ma was stunned for a while after hearing this, his face changed several times, and he almost didn't jump up. Fortunately, he was still rational. Thinking that the person he heard these words was his own nephew, he restrained himself from shouting.
After listening to Mrs. Cao's words for a long time, she came back to her senses and said with some difficulty: "This child... is fine, how come he has such a... hobby?"
She didn't even know what to say.
I really thought it was Da Qiao who beat up Fang and Fang ran away. No wonder my sister was so temperamental that she could still promise to pay Fang a tael of silver as compensation.
It turned out that it was Daqiao who had touched his daughter?
Not only that, over the years, he has also been treating Miao Xiang...
Xiao Ma shivered, thinking that Miao Xiang was only seven years old, and was a little speechless.
Mrs. Cao's eyes were red, "You are all blaming me. If I had not taken the bridge with me when I was anxious to go back to see my mother for the last time, the bridge would not have fallen down the hillside and become lame. It would not be like this now.
"
"Da Qiao was so smart and loved to laugh when he was a child. Since then, his personality has changed. I didn't know he had this hobby at first! I found out later, but I didn't dare to say anything about it...
Daqiao feels bitter in his heart! It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault! How can I blame him for having this habit?”
"Sister, my bridge cannot be destroyed. He doesn't like those widows, he just likes those whose bones have not grown, and I can't help it!
Now that everyone in our village knows about it, we can't let him molest Miao Xiang anymore, so I agreed to buy him a little girl to be his wife, and stay with him for a few more years. When he grows up, I can give him
The Cao family has continued the family lineage and gave me a grandson.
No, I have no choice but to borrow money!"
Xiao Ma listened and thought about those days, and was also filled with sadness.
My nephew was indeed very clever when he was a child. Unfortunately, God was not open to his eyes and wanted to destroy a good young talent and turn him into a cripple.
At that time, their mother was about to lose her temper, so she wanted to take one more look at her grandson before closing her eyes. Otherwise, even if it was raining heavily, her sister would not take her nephew back to her parents' house.
Speaking of which, after all these years, how could my sister not feel guilty about her son?
If it were her, she would probably feel even more guilty.
Xiao Ma thought for a moment and then said: "In that case, it is not unreasonable for my sister to consider buying a little girl for at most two taels of silver. After buying it, she will be the serious wife of Daqiao. What are you going to do?
I’m not afraid of other people’s advice. If you wait a few years to have a baby, you will have to suffer a lot, sister, but you can only do this now, and this is the best way.”
"But two taels of silver is also a lot of money. I won't hide it from you, sister. I only have the savings of two taels of silver at most. Your eldest nephew and grandson will have to start talking about kissing each other in the next two years. This is ridiculous.
Wife, I don’t have any money, but it’s not possible!”
"The most I can lend is 500 yuan, so I'll need one or two half. Where else can my sister borrow it?"
Mrs. Cao nodded as she listened, "That's what I think. If Daqiao continues to do something to Miao Xiang, I'm afraid the spit from the villagers will drown us two. It will be different if we buy a little girl back."
, the serious wife of Daqiao, no one can tell her to go."
"I've asked about it. A little girl of seven or eight years old was sold for two taels of silver. I still owe one tael of silver. I really can't get it out, so I can only borrow it. But everyone in the village now knows that my family
Who is willing to lend me that thing? I had no choice, so I asked my sister why you came here.
I also know that it’s not easy for you, sister, and I can’t get it out. I just want you to help me think of a way. Who can you help me find to borrow some? After I got it together, I bought a wife for Daqiao and when he came back, he was able to weave baskets.
Well, let’s be tight when the time comes and we will definitely pay back the money soon.”
Xiao Ma hesitated after hearing this. It was not that she was unwilling to come forward to help borrow money, but she was thinking about Daqiao's basket weaving skills, which could not be sold for more than a tael of silver all year round, and there were other expenses.
I don’t know how long it will take for him to weave baskets and collect the money to repay.
Even if you don't owe a penny of money, you are living a poor life. If you owe so much money, then the life of your sister's family will be even more difficult.
Her sister has suffered all her life, and she doesn't want to see her continue to suffer like this.
Xiao Ma's mind kept spinning, and suddenly an idea flashed. He thought of something that his daughter had mentioned when she came back to her parents' house a few days ago, and her eyes lit up.
He quickly took Mrs. Cao's hand and said, "Sister, I just said that everyone in your village knows what Daqiao did. I'm afraid that even if he doesn't do anything to Miao Xiang in the future, the villagers may not believe it, right?"
In this way, if Miao Xiang stays at home, she will be neither above nor below. You and Da Qiao will feel uncomfortable looking at her. Miao Xiang is also seven years old and will be thinking about things. "
Mrs. Cao listened and thought that this was the truth.
Otherwise the village chief would be worried about Miao Xiang staying at home and would have to take her back immediately.
Miao Xiang has also become a governor. I wonder if she will resent her son and her in her heart?
Mrs. Cao was lost in thought when she heard Xiao Ma continue: "In this case, it is better to send Miao Xiang away. This will be good for Miao Xiang, you and Daqiao."
"Send me out?" Mrs. Cao asked excitedly, "How to send me out? Is it possible that we have to drive Miao Xiang out? This is not good. After all, she is also my granddaughter. If she really drives me out, the people in the village won't be able to point me out? Besides, let's talk about it.
, Miao Xiang can help me with a lot of work, eats little, and is obedient, so if I drive her away, won’t I raise her so big in vain?”
Xiao Ma hurriedly waved her hands, "I didn't ask you to chase her away like this, I just happened to think of it when I mentioned the money. This is actually a good thing for Miao Xiang!"
"A few days ago, Qingmei came back to visit me at her parents' house. They were chatting about something. There was a family named Huang in the village above them. They had more than 20 acres of land. Their life was relatively easy. The couple only had one son. He was ten years old this year.
He was two years old, but his body and bones were not in good condition since he was young. He had just suffered a serious illness and suffered a huge loss. Someone suggested that the Huang family arrange a child bride for their son to go home, just to be happy, so that their son would be healthy and healthy.
Adult.
No, they are looking everywhere. They say they are willing to pay a dowry gift of five taels of silver to buy the little girl back as a child bride. It has only been three or five days, so I guess they haven’t found it so quickly. The Huang family asked for a horoscope.
, I also want the little girl to be pretty and fresh."
"Miao Xiang is only seven years old. She is the right age and good-looking. She will definitely catch their eyes. Sister, if you agree, I will ask Qingmei to go and see that her sister-in-law has some relatives with the Huang family.
