Qi Kang'an looked away in disgust, "What else can we do, trade people for food."
That woman in gorgeous clothes didn't look like a serious person to him. She was probably an old bustard somewhere.
It is not difficult to figure out this matter. At this time, the girls among the refugees were the cheapest, even priceless. Many people even thought that the girl's family had to provide food and drink for them even if they were blood relatives.
Not to mention others, there are quite a few people in their own team who have this idea.
Maybe they realized that they were not easy to deal with, or maybe the people who could be the leaders of that industry were really discerning and knew that they would not gain anything.
The woman walked around the lake, took away more than 20 young girls, and then drove away in several carriages, never getting close to Qijia Village.
At this moment, Qi Baoer, Daliang and Sanlang were eating secretly in a leeward corner. Yes, the three brothers and sisters were eating secretly in a very shameful way.
What to eat? Roast duck bought in Guangyuan County.
He couldn't stay long in Guangyuan County, so Qi Kang'an couldn't wait there to buy a bunch of roast ducks, so he could only buy the ones that were already roasted when passing by.
Unfortunately, only one was baked at that time.
There are twenty or thirty people in Lao Qi's family alone. How to divide one?
I pray that the old man will agree, you three brothers and sisters can find a deserted place to eat by yourself, and do the finishing work well so that no one can smell it.
They all have meat and bones to chew on at night anyway, so it’s not bad.
San Lang held the duck's head and gnawed the duck's neck with both hands. From their position, they could watch the carriage where the gorgeous woman left. While gnawing, he sighed:
"When they came just now, I thought they were meeting another rich man, but it turned out they were here to buy 0 people."
Da Lang just stood up and looked at it for a while, knowing something about the inside story, "What are you buying? The half bag should be exchanged for grain. The smaller half bag only weighs two or three kilograms."
He looked at the roast duck back in his hand and said, "It's not as valuable as what I have."
Then he looked at the girl with a roasted duck leg in each hand and sighed: "Sister, all the girls in our village are blessed by you."
Qi Bao'er pulled out her head from the big duck leg and looked at her brother with confused eyes. What kind of blessings are there?
"Your status is higher than ours. You and the girls in our village can't yell at you at will. Otherwise, my father and I will be angry and may kick them out."
Let’s just talk about what happened last time when my sister-in-law prayed for wealth. She had a foreign surname. Uncle Kaishan beat her hard and threatened to drive her away.
The people in the village are not stupid. They don't understand that this matter is not tolerated in their family or the old man's family. Even if they just curse, no one would dare to sell it.
Even because his sister was a top figure at home, several families close to their family had somewhat changed their attitudes towards their girls, at least they would no longer starve them.
Qi Baoer continued to bury his head in the duck leg and said vaguely: "We are willing to trade our own children for food. We complete outsiders are even more willing to sell them."
You can't trust this kind of person, and since you can't trust them, there's no point in getting together.
"Yeah." Both brothers nodded in agreement.
The brothers each gnawed on a duck wing, as usual, chewing all the bones, and gnawed on a steamed bun to suppress the taste in their mouths, and then wiped their mouths and went back.
"Where have you been?"
Ye Sanni has been looking for the three children for a long time, making bone soup to drink. Why are these three children running around now?
Daliang took her aside and told her about the roast duck that the three of them secretly ate. They felt very guilty. The roast duck was so fragrant. The younger sister took it out and they ate it without hesitation, forgetting to leave some for their grandparents and parents.
Ye Sanni was not angry, on the contrary she was quite happy.
Don't blame her for being selfish. There are eight children in Lao Qi's family. She doesn't have to worry about her daughter. She often has her grandparents to help her cook a small stove. But it's different for the three of them. One of them is the eldest grandson and has to give way to the younger one, while the other one is easily stuck in the middle.
Being ignored, they often cannot get into their mouths any delicious food at home.
For Ye Sanni, what happened to her son and daughter secretly eating a roast duck? What happened to Lao Qi’s family now that her daughter did not earn it? The two brothers, Da Lang and San Lang, were just clinging to their sister.
The light.
He waved Qi Bao'er over, squatted down and smelled to make sure she didn't smell, and then he was relieved, "Your third aunt has a good nose, so you don't have to wait until she smells it and she gets sick again."
Ye Sanni was also amused by her third younger sister. She thought she would know how to advance or retreat after what happened to Si Li that day. She didn't even have time to think about her daughter not being around her every day.
Unexpectedly, he was becoming more and more like Benjili, but he was more careful to avoid people. She and her second brother and sister only saw him accidentally.
In the past, she just didn't want to see Si Lang, at least she didn't know how to get started. Just now, when she and her second younger sister went to relieve themselves, she actually saw the third younger sister drag Si Lang to the back of the bullock cart and use their hands to pinch the soft flesh on his body.
They hurried forward to take Si Lang away, and when they opened his clothes, they saw that old and new pinch marks, red and purple, were everywhere on his arms, back, and legs.
Da Lin felt that his mother was not in a good mood at the moment. It was very rare that she was angry, "Mom, what happened?"
Ye Sanni called San Lang over and warned: "Your grandparents are discussing things with the Qian family, so don't go over and provoke them.
Dali, take your brother and sister to the side and wait, and my mother will serve you some bone soup."
The mother-in-law was so angry this time that she couldn't even curse. She pointed at the third brother to either divorce his wife or sever the relationship between mother and son.
Ye Sanni felt that this matter might not be easy.
Ouch, it's okay to make a fuss at home if she doesn't have enough to eat. She's exhausted from walking all day and is worried. She really doesn't understand what's going on in her heart.
The Lao Qi family avoided solving this problem without the children. None of the children knew the specific solution, uh, not including Qi Bao'er.
All they knew was that from that day on, the three members of the Qian family no longer followed Lao Qi's family. Instead, they took away a horse, a cow, and a certain amount of food, and then walked at the back of the team.
Sitting on Yinzi's back, old man Qi said to Qi Bao'er guiltily: "My dear, it may take some years for your third uncle's money to be repaid to you."
Old man Qi wanted to laugh. At such a time, Heli came out completely. Heli also took away half of the food and a hundred taels of silver.
He never knew that in the minds of his first three daughters-in-law, the reason why the Lao Qi family could survive today was all because of the Qian family.
"Sir, what else are you doing? I just want to honor you and my uncle."
"That's not possible, dear, you are wrong."
The old man Qi said sincerely: "You have the ability, you can get money and other treasures. You are kind-hearted and think about your family, and give them some points. This will nourish their hearts and make them happy."
Habit.
Once you get used to it, everything you have is given to them, and if you don't give it to them in the future, some people may be dissatisfied."
This is why he and his wife are always partial to each other.
The family is used to the old couple being partial to each other. No matter how much they give to Guaiguai, they have already become accustomed to it.
