The fat aunt was still recounting: "I was shocked at the time. This kind of thing has never happened in this provincial city for many years. I walked over and took a look, and there were so many people surrounding me.
They were neighbors I knew nearby, and everyone was pointing and talking. I went over to take a look, and found that the person lying down was covered with a straw mat.
Kneeling next to her was a delicate little lady. The little lady was kneeling with a piece of white cloth spread in front of her, with four words written on it: Sell yourself to bury your father. Oh my god, it’s been so many years, I haven’t done anything.
I’ve seen something like this before.”
The fat aunt's emotion echoed what the two brothers had just heard about the passerby's story about selling her body to bury her father. It seemed that the protagonist who sold her body to bury her father was still a girl.
Gong Yu's mind was simple. At this time, he didn't think too much in his heart. He just sighed in his heart. Also, if he were a man, it would be impossible for him to sell his body and bury his father. A man would stand upright and look for whatever he wanted.
You can make money from any job. Just like my eldest brother in his time, even if
He is just a frail scholar, but he still goes to the dock to carry goods for the boatman, just to earn an extra two cents to supplement his family's income. So if he is a man, he should not sell himself to bury his father. This kind of thing will not happen.
The thing should have happened to that weak little girl.
He had no other ideas, but Gong Jian was a little nervous. He had never thought that the person who sold his body to bury his father was actually a fragile girl. Thinking back to the ugly face of Mr. Wang just now, and the
The boy's scolding words gave Gong Jian an outline of what happened in his mind.
I guess the prince probably had good intentions and wanted to help the girl bury her father, but he never thought that the girl was not just selling her body to bury her father, so he got entangled with the girl instead.
Of course, this was just a guess in his mind. Now he still had to listen quietly to the fat aunt as she continued to talk. When the fat aunt talked about things, she was very affectionate and waved her hands to the two brothers.
She gestured to the scene at that time. But it would be better if she could directly tell what happened without so many emotions of her own. At this time, she heard the fat aunt still saying in surprise.
"Oh, my dear mother. Everyone in our area was shocked at that time. This was a peaceful and prosperous time. Why did such a beautiful, delicate and soft girl suddenly appear and want to sell her body to bury her father?
How could the world have fallen into such a situation? At that time, a few of us discussed it.
This girl is so pitiful. When her biological father died, she had no money to bury her, so she could only kneel on the street, begging a kind person to buy her, and use the money from selling herself to bury her old father. If it weren't for my store, it would be
It's a small business, and I already have a good job with the staff, so I want to spend money to buy this girl."
Gong Jian listened helplessly. The fat aunt was talking over there, and he was too embarrassed to speak. He asked the fat aunt to tell the key points directly, not to mention her own mental activities, which were her thoughts.
In fact, Gong Jian didn't care about these things. What he was more concerned about at the moment was whether things were going to go as he had guessed. But this fat aunt couldn't hold her mouth when she opened her mouth. What she talked about the most was things about herself.
.
"I was thinking in my heart, how much would it cost to buy such a beautiful and delicate girl? The most important thing is that the damn guy in my family is also a lustful person. If I buy the girl back, won't I be harming other girls?
Well. There were not many people on the street at that time.
There were even fewer people coming to the teahouse to drink tea. A few of us chatted around for a long time, but the girl was very quiet, kneeling there straight and without any reaction. A few of us were still muttering in our hearts, this girl
It’s not that I’m overly sad, I’m just a little silly.”
Just when Gong Jian couldn't help but speak, interrupting the fat aunt's thoughts, the fat aunt finally seemed to understand Gong Jian's anxiety and continued.
"Anyway, due to various reasons, the few of us who watched the girl for a long time didn't react at all, and there was no one around. We need to add servants to the family. We discussed a few words with each other,
They dispersed. After all, no one has made up his mind to buy this girl back. It’s one thing to do good things, but don’t do bad things with good intentions. That’s what’s important.”
When the fat aunt said this, she patted her chest with her hands as if to emphasize her good intentions. Brother Gong Jian quickly lowered his head. They both didn't know what to do with such a generous fat aunt.
response.
Fortunately, after the fat aunt took a few pats, she mysteriously said to the two brothers: "Hey, you don't know, this girl is really powerful. At that time, we all thought that this girl was because of her family."
When her father passed away, she was so sad that she just knelt there blankly. Half the afternoon passed after she knelt down. There were people coming and going around, talking about it, and some people came out.
Throwing the money in front of the girl doesn't mean that the girl will go back to buy it. It's just that the girl looking at it is really pitiful. Such a delicate girl actually keeps kneeling there. Of course, those with money will throw so much money to her.
, I hope that slowly and slowly, I can collect the money that will allow her to bury her father. This will not force this nice flowery girl to have to sell herself. If she becomes someone's slave, it will be a lifelong matter."
Speaking of the fat aunt here, she seemed to think of something, and specifically mentioned, "I even gave her ten cents at that time, because I just felt that this girl was really pitiful." After saying this, the fat aunt curled her lips and said,
He made a disdainful expression and continued: "Who knows, we people may have made a mistake."
When the fat aunt said that she had made a mistake, the two brothers Gong Jian raised their heads and looked at the talkative fat aunt with some confusion, not knowing what she meant by making a mistake.
But the fat aunt completely ignored her. Brother Gong Jian looked over with some doubts, but returned to the right track and slowly told the story of how the matter developed at that time.
"The girl just knelt there upright, ignoring the people coming and going, and kept kneeling for more than an hour. At that time, a few of us got together, and everyone felt sorry for her and felt that she was very pitiful. This woman
The child suffered this family tragedy at a young age." (To be continued)
