Chapter 98
Wen Furong nodded in agreement: "The contract of selling her body has been pledged, and she is now the maid of Song Zhi's family."

Which parents don't love their children?Presumably there was a real reason for selling her daughter. "

In Wen Furong's mind, it would be cruel to have no parents.

After resting for a while, Wen Furong led her children to buy food.

There are meat and vegetables, mainly snacks, sugar, melon seeds, and tea.When passing the market, I saw chickens, ducks, and geese.

Chang Le squatted on the ground to play with the little yellow duck, grabbing its fluffy little wings and playing with it, not wanting to leave.

Seeing this, Wen Furong naturally bought the ones that had been robbed. After spending the money, she found that the price was fair, so she decided to buy more.

It's not long before the autumn harvest, and when the rice from the fertile fields comes in, these poultry will have nothing to worry about to feed.

Buy five chickens, ducks and geese each, which is full again.

Before returning home, Chang Xi went to the back kitchen to say hello to her father, but when she came out again, she bumped into shopkeeper Fang.

Rubbing his head, Chang Xi greeted apologetically: "Hello, Uncle Fang!"

Shopkeeper Fang was overjoyed when he saw him, and he was frowning just now, but now he smiled.

"Hey, when did Xi girl come? Have you eaten yet, can you have something to eat with us?"

Normally, the workers in a restaurant would not eat lunch until most of the diners had finished eating. Chang Xi had been here for quite a while, and it was almost two o'clock, and they would be ready for dinner in a while.

"Thank you, Uncle Fang, we actually came here this morning and are getting ready to go home now."

"Oh, that's right! I came here with your mother."

Recalling what Chang Sanshi said in the morning, shopkeeper Fang's tone was full of regret: "Tsk tsk, tell me next time you come."

Chang Xi heard the implication: "Uncle Fang wants to ask me for something?"

"It's nothing, me." The shopkeeper Fang decided to change the words.

"Hey girl, do you want to learn abacus?" Shopkeeper Fang looked at the pink girl expectantly.

Chang Xi followed the words and asked back: "Is it like the accountant who collects money?"

She blinked and said seriously: "I don't like abacus very much, but I like to collect money."

Shopkeeper Fang was amused, stroked his beard and looked at Chang Xi lovingly.

"Good girl, when you learn how to abacus, you will learn how to collect money. Let me teach you, okay?"

So shopkeeper Fang wanted to teach her to count?
Chang Xi understood, and waved at Shopkeeper Fang, rejecting with regret.

"That may not be free, I'll be busy in a few days."

"Uncle Fang, I'm studying medicine and will go to school in a while."

"I have so much to learn that I don't have time to come to town."

Chang Xi's words made shopkeeper Fang feel a little regretful, but Xiaowa was really at a loss to learn two things at the same time.

As the saying goes, you can't chew too much, and you have to pay it yourself. Chang Xi has limited energy at such a young age, so he may not be able to learn well.

Shopkeeper Fang sighed regretfully: "Okay, go back and study hard, not many girls can go to school."

"Hey, I know. Goodbye, Uncle Fang." Chang Xi said goodbye politely, and left with a bounce.

Shopkeeper Fang stood there silently for a while, feeling that the apprentice he had set his sights on had been cut off, this girl is a good one, and everyone is keen to get her!

On the mule cart to go home, the second uncle paid in advance, and Wen Furong generously paid an extra two pennies, which was obviously unnecessary.

She bought out a vacant seat for storing things, she didn't want to wrong her children and let them sit crowded together.

The coachman is looking forward to seeing the Chang family now, especially the Chang family's selfless sharing of catching cicadas to make money, which has imperceptibly boosted his driving business.

There was a steady stream of people coming and going in the village all day long, and no matter what time of day he was in the mule cart, there was never an empty seat. Now there were significantly fewer cicadas in the village, and it became a lot quieter when sleeping at night.

The villagers who got on the car first moved their buttocks tacitly, and offered the good ventilation position to the Chang family. Many people returned to the village with empty buckets.

Wen Furong smiled with everyone, and did not deliberately question the income. There was a lively and lively atmosphere, and everyone laughed and laughed along the way.

At the entrance of the village, before the mule cart stopped, Chang Xi heard outside, a group of gossiping women gathering under the old locust tree to gossip again.

"Oh, the old Fan family is in such a miserable state. I didn't expect to be able to recruit thieves. Poor Fan Xiaoye was sold just like that. What will the Fan family do in the future!"

Mrs. Peng Zhang snorted, and said after spitting out the melon seeds in his mouth.

"What else can I do? Just pretend that this daughter has never been born, and live as usual."

Another woman spoke up: "It's not a big deal, a girl can get 20 taels of silver, which is enough for a whole family to eat for a year!"

"After all, it's Song Zhixian's family who spend a lot of money. I didn't expect a girl's film to be so valuable."

The mule cart finally stopped, and those who were going to the town jumped out one by one, and some immediately joined the chatting team.

Because both Chang Xi and Wen Furong wanted to know what happened to the Fan family, they didn't rush home and stayed to listen.

Just came back from the town, nervously told other villagers.

"You don't know, do you?"

"Miss Silly from Song Zhixian's family went crazy yesterday and killed her maidservant, and Fan Xiao'e was sold in. Will there be any good fruit to eat?"

"The 20 taels of silver are not money for selling her life, but money for selling her life. Do you think the Song Zhixian family can be generous?"

"Not generous, who else is willing to serve as a slave to his family?"

These words caused a lot of doubts from the villagers.

"Yo, that's what happened?"

"Where did you hear the news, is it reliable?"

People in the village who didn't go to town today, of course, only know about the affairs of the village. Everyone took the initiative to exchange information and talked about it in a hurry.

"Just now at the old house of the Fan family, Eryou and Sanyou's daughters-in-law brought people here in person. We heard that's not the case."

"At that time, they kept promising that after going to the magistrate's mansion, the food and clothing expenses would be paid according to half a young lady's share."

"Yeah, it sounds like I'm going to have a good time! I don't know why, but Fan Xiao'e just doesn't want to. He just didn't like Xiao Die, who looks bad. Xiao Die begged to go for her sister, but she didn't have a chance."

An old woman who held shoe soles sighed: "Hey, those who wanted to go didn't go, and those who didn't want to go went, what's the matter!"

Wen Furong had seen it with her own eyes, and she couldn't help interjecting the scene of Fan Xiaoye being dragged away.

"Why does the Fan family insist on selling their daughter?"

Mrs. Peng Zhang snorted, "Isn't it because of the birth of a son?"

"I don't know if you're not here today, half the village was upside down in the morning!"

"Fan Dayou reported to the village chief that the ginseng whiskers he had just bought had been stolen. He said that maybe the woman Wen who came to deliver the baby saw the ginseng whiskers and had evil thoughts in her heart to steal them in the middle of the night, and asked the village chief to go with him to ginger home."

"In order to prove her innocence, Jiang Wenpo allowed the village chief to search the house. There were indeed no ginseng whiskers. Fan Dayou was dumbfounded."

"Sitting at the gate of Jiang's house crying and wiping away tears, like a woman, she said that it must be Wen Po who stole his son's life-saving medicine and sold it for money."

"Oh, you don't know how angry Jiang Wenpo is. She told the village chief that Fan Dayou asked her to deliver the baby on credit, and now she is still slandering her innocence."

"It must be him trying to renege on his debt!"

"Fan Jiang's family made a big fuss in front of the village head."
