"This frivolous woman cruelly left these young children and tried to escape alone, and even took away Xinrou. She is really worse than a pig or a dog."
"Dad, we don't want to die with this bad woman. Let's carry her outside."
Chu Nanzhi slowly woke up, but before she could open her eyes, she heard endless yelling in her ears.
She opened her eyes suddenly, feeling slightly uncomfortable all over. Her stomach was churning with acid, making her very uncomfortable.
Looking up, she saw a few little guys standing in front of her, looking at her with resentment.
Seeing her waking up, the little guys were so frightened that they suddenly scattered away and hid behind a man.
"Dad, she's not dead."
"She doesn't want us, and we don't want her either."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the man with strange eyes and the group of little guys in front of him, and then looked around.
It was nightfall, and under the dim candlelight, only the old wooden structure of the house and some simple furnishings inside the house could be seen clearly.
It can be seen that this is not a wealthy family.
But shouldn't she be dead?
As an Interpol police officer, she remembered that she was attacked by someone while arresting a prisoner, and unfortunately she was shot and died.
Chu Nanzhi frowned slightly as she endured her headache. A memory that did not belong to her immediately came to her mind like an overwhelming force and was inserted into her mind, flowing rapidly.
It turns out that she traveled through time and became Chu Nanzhi, the wife of Lin Jinxiao, a descendant of the down-and-out royal family, in Anlin Village, Caifeng Township, Luyan Port, the Great Harvest Empire.
Because she was forcibly married into the Lin family by her family, the original owner was extremely dissatisfied with her married life. Not only did she beat and scold her husband and her four twin children, but in the past two years, she also had an affair with a pretty young girl from the county.
The Taoist priests flirted with each other, and a lot of gossip spread.
Three days ago, Lin Jinxiao was robbed on the way to the county government while escorting tax bankers for the county magistrate. The county magistrate ordered him to arrest the robber within three days, otherwise he would be charged with liaison with pirates.
Seeing that Lin Jinxiao had no way to survive, the original owner was afraid of being implicated. He had just taken away his family and was about to escape alone. However, he was discovered and chased. He was knocked down on a boulder and killed. He was forcibly carried back.
And she just traveled through time.
Looking at the few white coins exposed in the black cloth package on the table next to her, before Chu Nanzhi made any reaction, she saw the largest of the few little guys snatching the package and holding it tightly in his arms.
She shouted with tears in her eyes: "This is the last money our family has. We want to keep it to atone for my father's sins. You are not allowed to take it away."
The voice was a little shaky.
Chu Nanzhi looked at his fearful eyes, shook her head speechlessly, and thought to herself: "What your father lost was twenty thousand taels of gold, and a few taels of silver is nothing."
She remembered some of the laws of this dynasty. Lin Jinxiao had neglected his duties and lost his tax money. In addition to being executed himself, all the men in the family had to be sent to the frontier and the women had to be sold.
Thinking of this, she also felt that the original owner was too cruel. Even if he didn't want to run away with the children, he should have left this little money so that they could have someone with him.
While he was hesitating, his stomach started to growl uncontrollably.
Remembering that the original owner was pretending to be cooking before she fled, she smiled carelessly at the little guys: "I won't take your money. I'm hungry and I want to eat."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she got up, she heard a man's rough scolding voice coming from behind her: "You are such a shameless evil woman. At this point, you only want to eat."
"People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry."
Over the years of working as a criminal police officer, she has long developed the habit of being calm and calm. When encountering big things, she should first fill her stomach before talking about it.
Glancing at the strong man, she didn't realize there was someone behind her. She remembered that it was the man who had brought her back just now. His name was Li Ce. He and Lin Jinxiao used to be the same sect member (township official) in the county.
They have a good relationship with their neighbors, but now they are sent by the county to monitor their family.
She was too hungry to pay attention to this person anymore, so she walked to the kitchen. Seeing that the pot was still steaming, she opened the lid and saw that there was half a pot of white porridge left inside.
She found bowls and chopsticks to fill a bowl of porridge, and picked up some leftovers. She walked back to the living room, only to see a group of people silent and silent.
And the look in her eyes made her feel like she was being eaten alive.
Chu Nanzhi wolfed down a few mouthfuls of porridge, and inadvertently saw a few little guys glaring at her fiercely, which scared her so much that she almost dropped the bowl.
She pretended to be calm and coughed lightly, then put the bowls and chopsticks on the table nonchalantly, looking at the youngest girl with warm eyes, and said in an eccentric way: "Baby, if you are willing to beg sister, maybe you can wait for me."
When I'm full, I can think of ways to save your father."
Without waiting for the children to reply, the man next to them finally spoke up: "Chun Nanzhi, why did you get so mad today? You are so shameless in front of your own children."
His face was gloomy, and the luster in his eyes made him hate her to the extreme.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the man inadvertently, and she was entranced by the sight.
Although the man was thin, his appearance was very handsome, with an unworldly and elegant temperament, which was in sharp contrast to the man behind her who was scolding her.
It's just that he injured his leg while transporting tax money a few days ago. He still held a cane in his hand and had some difficulty in moving. He could only sit on a stool and curse. Otherwise, based on what the original owner did today, he might have to fight with her.
Work hard.
Lin Jinxiao glared at her with a sinister look, and said in disgust again: "If you want to get out, get out quickly, I will never stop you, but don't dirty the eyes and money of me and the children here."
After a pause, he stared at the package in his son's hand and choked with sobs: "If you are really ruthless, you can just take it away, and you won't care about their life or death anyway."
After that, he snatched the bundle from his son's hand and threw it angrily in front of Chu Nanzhi.
Looking at a few ingots of silver and two pieces of silver jewelry scattered on the ground, Chu Nanzhi suddenly felt a little stunned.
Having just traveled through time, being a mother and being sold at the same time is really overwhelming.
Her eyes fell on those cute little guys. Thinking of how young they were, how they were distributed and how they were sold, she felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.
Even if you don't think about them, you should still think about your own future.
She neither wanted to be betrayed nor run away, so it was only right to travel through time and live a more comfortable and dignified life.
I was about to explain something, but before I could say anything, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Before anyone showed up, the sharp curses had already reached my ears:
"You shameless bitch, you have harmed my son to this extent. Now that he is in trouble, you still want to escape by yourself. Your conscience has been eaten by dogs."
Hearing the sound, Chu Nanzhi saw a middle-aged woman barging in.
Li Ce, who had been brooding for a long time, saw this scene and quickly raised his hand to Lin Jinxiao: "Brother Jinxiao, you have family matters to deal with, so I won't bother you here. But you must not give up until the last moment."
Then, in the blink of an eye, the shadow disappeared.
Chu Nanzhi saw the woman bending down to pick up the silver and jewelry on the ground as soon as she entered the door. She immediately remembered that this person was Lin Jinxiao's stepmother, Mrs. Chen.
Lin Jinxiao's father was the magistrate of Luyanggang County and died in office more than ten years ago. Mrs. Chen was afraid of being known as a bad mother, so she had to temporarily raise Lin Jinxiao at home.
But as time went by, she finally lost her patience and was greedy for the money given by the original owner's family. Lin Jinxiao had just turned eighteen and urgently forced him to make a marriage arrangement with the original owner.
In order to force Lin Jinxiao to accept the marriage, Chen also colluded with the original owner's mother to make him clean up and leave the house, leaving no room for his imagination.
The small courtyard we live in today was built with money from the original owner's family.
Two years ago, Lin Jinxiao lost his job as a county official, Cao Li, and lost his income. This woman never came to see their family, and she relied on the support of the original owner's family to survive.
Now I think about it and am concerned about it.
Seeing Mrs. Chen sorting out the package and hugging it lovingly into her arms, Chu Nanzhi took the package back into her hands and said sternly: "This money is reserved for those little guys, you can't take it."
"If I don't take it away, why should I ask you to take it and give it to that pretty boy in the future?"
Mrs. Chen frowned and looked at Lin Jinxiao: "At dawn tomorrow, people from the county government will come. I'm afraid you won't be able to recover from such a thing, Dalang. I'd better let my mother keep the money for you.
, if you are convicted, it will cost a lot of money to take care of the children."
As she said that, she glanced at the package in Chu Nanzhi's hand again, and said with some reluctance: "I heard that your mother-in-law sent fifteen taels of silver, but only half of it was left after only three or two days."
Lin Jinxiao was obviously a little depressed and didn't want to care about these nonsense, so he lowered his head in silence.
Chu Nanzhi knew that Mrs. Chen was only willing to come here after hearing that the original owner had lost money. Otherwise, if she was really serious, she would have come to visit three days ago.
On the day Lin Jinxiao was injured and carried back, the original owner went to ask for Mrs. Chen, but the woman pretended to be sick and did not show up. She also refused to give money to treat her son's injuries for some reason. She even had someone drive her out, so the original owner had to go find her.
My mother asked for some money and came back.
Why do you have to fight for your child? How can a womanly family snatch her back on the way to distribution?
Chu Nanzhi was not polite to this woman and contradicted her bluntly:
"You are not in this room, but you have sharp ears and eyes. The money my mother sent is for people, not for Bodhisattvas. Lin Dalang treats his injuries. There is no need to spend money on family expenses. This is the first time I have come here in a long time. No.
When you ask about your son's injury, you only care about the little money. You don't have the tolerance of your stepmother, so how can you act like a mother?"
"You, you bitch, are you qualified to say this to me?"
Mrs. Chen was so angry that she pointed at her, her whole face turned red from holding back: "Don't you just like to go out and hook up with pretty boys? Before Da Lang has been convicted, you are so impatient to abandon your husband and son. Wait for you
After being sold to a brothel, there will be many opportunities to hook up with others."
"Snapped."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't hold back and slapped him in the face.
But as a cultural person, she really doesn't like to spit out fragrance.
She didn't want to argue with this woman anymore. Time was running out. She couldn't just watch this family being sent to jail, so she quickly dismissed:
"I'm disrespectful, so you don't have to worry about anything I can say. In short, the life and death of this family from now on has nothing to do with you. Stop being such a disgusting hypocritical person here, put away your frivolous behavior, and get out.
Get out quickly, Lin Dalang will treat you as his mother, and I will not seek any punishment."
Mrs. Chen was so angry that she opened her eyes angrily, covered her face and cursed: "You, you..."
"enough."
But Chen was not allowed to continue arguing. Lin Jinxiao couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at the two of them, and then said coldly to Chen: "It's getting late, mother should go back early."
The four little guys looked at the two of them arguing with each other, but they were not worried. Instead, they looked gloating and were very happy.
In their eyes, neither grandmother nor mother is a good bird, and it would be best to fight to the death.
Waiting for Lin Jinxiao to finish speaking, the four little guys helped him quickly into the bedroom.
The pink newcomer, the pink new book, wiping tears, begging for protection.
