"My sister...Sister Xiaohua, my eldest sister will not die! What will we do if the eldest sister dies? My father also has to serve in the military," Su Erya must have been really frightened.
Insecure children are so pitiful!
Jiang Xiaohua hurriedly comforted her: "No, your sister is fine. She will wake up in a while! Don't worry!"
Su Erya breathed a sigh of relief, sobbing silently, and shrugged his thin shoulders.
When I think about the eldest sister working so hard every day, having to do so much work, and being beaten by her grandma.
Su Erya couldn't help but want to cry.
Seeing her excitement, Jiang Xiaohua reached out and patted her, and said softly: "Your sister will be fine, believe me!"
"Um!"
Su Erya raised her hand to wipe her tears, and then she began to speak in a thin voice: "The last time my sister sold a bundle of firewood for fifty cents, it was the day I went to Yuntang Town with you. Yesterday afternoon
Grandma asked me and my sister to go to the back mountain to chop firewood, and we cut another bundle. Early this morning, my sister went to Yuntang Town carrying firewood. In the end, she only sold it for 20 cents. When she came back, she was beaten by her grandma.
After a meal, let my sister spit out the thirty cents she swallowed!"
ah?
It turns out that it was because of this, that Mr. Zhou was being too unreasonable.
The last time I was able to sell it for fifty cents, it was because my grandfather went with me. Grandpa had acquaintances, so he was able to sell it for fifty cents.
I carried it to the back door of the inn and sold it.
Su Daya went to sell firewood by herself. She didn't know anyone, and she was a pretty little girl. They couldn't keep the prices low!
Being able to sell twenty coins without being robbed of firewood is already pretty good, what else do you want!
Su Erya swallowed even more and continued:
"Sister Xiaohua, let alone my eldest sister, it's my father and my mother. Their pockets are cleaner than their faces, and they don't have a penny on their bodies. My father goes out to work and is gone for many days. When he comes back, he enters the house.
The first thing I did was to be searched by my grandma, and all the money I earned was given to her. We simply didn’t have the guts to hide the money secretly, but grandma didn’t believe it! If the eldest sister had secretly stashed thirty Wen, why would she say that she wouldn’t give it to her?
If we take out thirty cents, our family will not be allowed to eat."
Tsk?
There is such a thing in the world!
No, there is such a grandma!
Even if you are a step-grandmother, you have to give her food to eat!
Besides, after all, grandpa is dear to me!
"Where is your grandpa? He doesn't speak for you? He doesn't protect you?" Jiang Xiaohua asked.
Su Erya shook his head.
"Everything at home is done according to grandma, and grandpa doesn't care about anything! Grandpa loves to smoke dry cigarettes. Every month, grandma only needs to buy the tobacco leaves that grandpa asks for, and grandpa doesn't care about anything!"
"I don't care if I watch you get beaten?"
Su Erya shook her head: "Grandpa also said that our three sisters are losers!"
Tsk!
It’s really too bad that my grandfather doesn’t care!
"What about your father and your mother? Your little sister is not at home either?" After Jiang Xiaohua entered the house, she only saw Su Daya lying alone on the bed.
"Dad has gone out to work. He has been gone for many days and is not at home! Grandma said that before dad goes out to serve in the military, he can earn more money and come back to supplement the family. When dad leaves, grandma said that my mother will go to Yuntang Town to find a job.
Yes, I heard that some wealthy families would like to have a mother who can’t speak, is hard-working, and doesn’t get into any trouble. She also said that she has already asked someone to help her find her, and she will have information within a few days!”
Jiang Xiaohua was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and suddenly realized how lucky she was to be born into Lao Jiang's family.
Jiang Xiaohua counted on her fingers: "Your father is serving in the military! Your mother went out to make money, but what about your eldest sister? What does your grandma plan?"
When asked here, Su Erya started to cry again.
"Grandma said... She said she wanted to marry the eldest sister to the Geng family. The Geng family was willing to pay the bride price of two taels of silver! She married the eldest sister, but... But grandma said she wanted the Geng family to provide someone to serve in the military for the Su family. Geng
The family just... didn’t want to do it, so when grandma got angry, she grabbed a stone from the ground and hit the eldest sister, and the eldest sister fainted!"
Gosh!
This temper is quite bad!
Start a fight if you don't agree!
It needs someone to take care of it.
"Nai also said that the Geng family no longer wants their eldest sister. Not only did Nai lose two taels of silver, but one of the family members still has to serve in the military. I heard from Grandpa Li Zhengding that he could use the money to buy prisoners on death row to serve in the military for the family, but it is very difficult.
It’s expensive. You can’t buy a prisoner on death row without twenty taels of silver. Nai Nai said, father and mother should pay for these twenty taels of silver. If you don’t have these twenty taels of silver, you will sell your eldest sister to a man! How much is the price? Pay it back.
It was said that there was a fenced yard in Changning Mansion, and the price there was high, a girl could pay eight taels of silver. If the girl said it was not possible, she would sell it to Changning Mansion. At any rate, she could sell eight taels of silver to fill the hole in the family.
"
Jiang Xiaohua blinked her eyes lightly, raised her hand and scratched her head. This was so confusing to her!
Fortunately, Su Erya has a clear head.
He had to sell his granddaughter for eight taels of silver.
It gives me a headache just listening to it!
Didn’t Zhang Lin come to propose marriage? Why hasn’t there been any movement yet?
Under the current situation, Jiang Xiaohua estimated that even if Zhang Lin found an official mediator to propose marriage, the Zhou family would not agree to it. That would not be right, what if Zhang Lin agreed to serve in the military for the Su family!
This marriage is probably possible.
but……
As soon as they got married, Zhang Lin had to leave.
"Where are your mother and your little sister?" Jiang Xiaohua asked.
"Mom... Mom had no choice but to take my little sister back to her parents' house to borrow money. She has been gone for a while, and she might be able to come back in the evening! My little sister is too young, and my mother is worried that grandma will kill her and break her!
Take it with you."
Jiang Xiaohua and Su Erya were talking in the room.
There was a thunder outside.
Then it started pouring rain.
Old Mrs. Jiang was at Ding Yi's house, and while she was talking, it started to rain.
The rain was heavy and fast.
Li Zheng Ding Yi said to Mrs. Jiang: "Sister, don't rush now. Let's wait until the rain stops before leaving. The heavy rain in summer comes and goes quickly, and it will be over in a while."
Of course Mrs. Jiang knows, but she is anxious!
Mrs. Zhou is a free-spirited person, and Mrs. Jiang is worried that her granddaughter will suffer a loss in the Su family.
Mrs. Jiang stood at the door of Ding's house, looking anxiously at the rain and mist.
The rain will stop soon.
The crying and cursing outside finally stopped.
Mr. Zhou is not stupid, it is windy and rainy outside.
Naturally, he kept silent.
After returning to her house, the eldest daughter-in-law diligently poured a bowl of water for her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Zhou cried and scolded her so hard that she drank a large bowl before putting the bowl down heavily: "I'm so angry! What a great granddaughter Qian taught me!"
"Mom, I heard that Lao Jiang's baby is no longer stupid? You saw it, is it true?"
Mrs. Zhou said coldly, "Yeah!"
You're not stupid, you're quite hot-tempered!
"Ouch, Lao Jiang's family is so lucky now that nothing can stop it. That girl is pretty and is no longer stupid. No wonder the king's official media came to Lao Jiang's house that day! Tsk tsk! Just
I'm afraid that in the past two years, the threshold of Lao Jiang's family has been trampled down by people who come to ask for marriage!"
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she hurriedly asked: "Wait a minute, what did you say? Wang's official media came to Lao Jiang's house?"
