Happy farmer wife busy farming

Chapter 35

Erxiao looked at the things that sister-in-law bought back, as well as the big bag of cotton, and regretted that she and her mother had secretly bullied sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, it costs a lot of money to buy these things. You must not take the old-fashioned money, and return it to others."

Although the second child saw the kindness of the old Taoist student, but this person didn't look out, who knows what tricks the old Taoist has.

Xiao Tao put the things on the bullock cart, and heard that Er Xiao cared about her from the bottom of her heart, and knew that Er Xiao was also changing her view of herself.

"Don't worry, my sister-in-law will not take other people's money for no reason."

As he said that, he took out another bag of popcorn from the paper bag and handed it to the second primary school.

Turning around to look at Daji, he said to himself: "Then Aunt Liu should be coming soon, Erxiao, you have to wait here, let's help Aunt Liu find Lixia."

The second child was holding the popcorn, a little embarrassed, and wanted to pass it to the younger sister, but hearing what Xiaotao said, she frowned and looked around.

"Sister-in-law, when we came here, we heard you talking about Li Xia. We shouldn't care about the affairs of Aunt Liu's family. Besides, we really can't save that girl. Li Xia has been sold by her mother for several years."

Just as Xiao Tao was about to speak, she saw Liu Huling and Li Chun running over in a hurry.

Still holding two paper bags in his hands, he handed them to Xiaotao and Erxiao with a smile.

"Look, I'm afraid you'll be in a hurry. These are the steamed buns you bought just now. Eat them to warm your stomach."

Er Xiao shook his head, embarrassed, turned around and put the popcorn in his hand on the car, and went to tidy up things, Xiao Tao took the buns.

"Auntie, we are all a family. You don't need to be so extravagant and waste money. When we get home, we will steam the big buns ourselves. The fillings will be more abundant than those bought."

Even so, Xiaotao felt the big warm steamed stuffed bun, but couldn't help but took it out and took a big bite.

"Well, the beef stuffed buns are really delicious. Have you eaten them? Hurry up and eat two. After we're done, we'll go find Sister Lixia."

Seeing that Xiaotao hadn't forgotten about her, Liu Huling almost shed tears.

"Sure, I'll eat one, and you guys can eat too, I'll buy it if it's not enough."

Xiaotao handed one to the younger sister, and gave a pack to the mother and daughter: "Eat it, hurry up and find Lixia, your family will have a good reunion year."

At this time, many people in the market came to buy frozen pears, and Xiaotao regretted not ordering more.

"You guys come over tomorrow, we're still standing here selling frozen pears."

Everyone gradually left, Xiaotao looked at the younger sister, then at the second little one, then turned to look at Lichun.

"Aunt Liu, Lichun and my younger sister are waiting for us here, let's go."

Li Chun quickly shook his head: "I want to find my sister to go home myself."

Liu Huling understood what Xiaotao meant, that kind of dirty place is not suitable for girls to patronize.

"Come on, listen to Xiaotao, mother will find your sister back."

The younger sister also wanted to go with her sister-in-law, but was stopped by the second child: "You and Li Chun are waiting here, and my sister-in-law and I will go there."

Xiaotao really didn't expect Erxiao to say that, looked at the two little sisters beside the bullock cart, and nodded: "Sure, you two don't go anywhere, just wait here for us to come back."

As he spoke, he took the wooden stick next to him and handed it to the little girl.

Erxiao looked at his younger sister with some concern, then turned around and followed behind his sister-in-law and Aunt Liu, heading for a few small white buildings on the edge of the town.

Aunt Liu was very disturbed at this time. He heard about the current situation of the eldest daughter from Song Chuxia, and he missed Lixia all the time these years.

Sometimes Cheng Su couldn't sleep, and he really regretted being confused for a while.

But he also thought that it was impossible for him to save his daughter, and the family simply couldn't afford to redeem her daughter.

The two taels of silver that I sold my daughter at the beginning have been spent long ago, and the youngest daughter is brought to live. For those who are orphans and widows, the few acres of Susukida in the family can only starve to death.

In a calamity year, I was half hungry, and I was finally stretched by Lichun.

I have also practiced a good sewing job over the years. People in the village often ask me to make a robe and shoes for me. If you give them hard money, it can be regarded as filling their stomachs.

A few years ago, the village head was always looking for trouble for himself. Although he was a widow, he knew that he could not do such things that corrupted the family style. A good husband's family, don't let people say that the daughter's mother is not serious.

The village head also laughed at himself coldly, saying that if he could sell his daughter into that dirty place, he would not be able to have an affair with him, not to mention that he also said that he wanted to support himself and his daughter.

Then Liu Dazhuan introduced himself to a man in a neighboring village whose wife had died. Although Liu Dazhuan was secretly ordered by the village head to clean up his wife, the village head’s wife, Mrs. Zhou, knew about it. Long also stopped.

Liu Huling took out all the [-] Wen coins the family had. Xiaotao said that she could save her daughter, but she didn't know how to do it.

"Xiaotao, here's the money, that's all I have in my family, if I can use it later, try not to conflict with others."

Xiaotao looked at the string of copper plates in Liu Huling's trembling hands, and knew that this aunt had gone bankrupt in order to save her daughter.

Hey, what were you thinking at the beginning?

Pushing back the money, Xiaotao hurriedly said: "Take it back, I'll find a way, remember my aunt, no matter how poor I am from now on, I can't sell my daughter, she is our little padded jacket, we are both women, we have a baby, although we can't Give your daughters a good life, but you can't push them into the fire pit."

Said Liu Huling's face turned red and white, nodded and put away the money.

"Yes, yes, I was really wrong before!"

The second child behind him didn't know what method his sister-in-law could use to rescue Li Xia, so he couldn't spend money to redeem him, right?The entire property of the Liang family is in the hands of the sister-in-law.

This town is not big, but it looks like a bastard. Villagers from all over the world come to the town to trade, and they won't be able to disperse for a while.

From time to time, Xiaotao heard the sound of hawking, as well as her favorite roasted sweet potato.

"Roasted sweet potatoes, hot roasted sweet potatoes."

Xiao Tao turned around and looked over, and saw a woman standing beside the earthen stove, looking at the freshly baked sweet potatoes, Xiao Tao swallowed her saliva.

Frowning and thinking about it, the desertified soil in this place is really suitable for planting crops such as sweet potatoes and peanuts, which are more profitable than growing coarse grains.

When I turned around, I saw a figure not far away disappearing in a flash, and I saw Liu Huling turn around and walk to the booth of roasted sweet potatoes.

Xiaotao hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab it back: "Auntie, hurry up, we'll be there soon."

Liu Huling smiled: "Buy a few for Lixia to eat."

Immediately, Xiaotao was moved by Aunt Liu's words.

Nodding, watching Liu Huling run over with her lean body shaking, wrapped two steaming roasted sweet potatoes, and ran back again.

Xiaotao looked forward, and there were two middle-aged women wearing white sable fur cloaks standing in front of the small white building. Although they were half-old and mistresses, they looked even more charming after being well-dressed.

At this moment, I saw two fat middle-aged men walking over.

"Hey old bustard, why do you look so good-looking today? I have plenty of dry goods in my arms."

As he spoke, a man patted his bulging chest, he laughed and looked at an old bustard, and then looked at another old bustard.

"Oh, sir, you are here, our girl misses you so much!"

Xiaotao glanced at those people bitterly, then spat again, it was really incomprehensible that such people could exist in this world.

Although Er Xiao was about the same age as Xiao Tao, she had never been to this kind of place before, so she stopped in her tracks, her face burning with pain, she really shouldn't have come to this kind of place.

Xiaotao turned her head and felt that the second child was uncomfortable, and hurriedly asked: "Are you going back? Little sister is not at ease."

Er Xiao didn't reply, just stood there without moving.

Xiaotao dragged her aunt to the door of the little white building called "Drunken Spring Breeze".

But after walking a few steps, he felt something was wrong, turned around and dragged his aunt back, and walked to Erxiao's side.

"Er Xiao go, find a place, let's change clothes."

"Ah, sister-in-law, you"

But in the next second, Liang Luan understood Xiaotao's intentions, nodded, blushed to the neck, turned and walked to the alley next to him.

Liu Huling looked at the pregnant Xiaotao from the side. Wearing Er Xiaoliang Luan's clothes, she really looked like the two pregnant men just now, except that her head was a bit small.

Xiao Tao grabbed the wall again, wiped it on her face, and put Er Xiao's dog fur hat on her head, and the black cotton shoes on her feet could not be seen as women.

It's really funny to see Er Xiao shyly wearing a green flower padded jacket standing at the entrance of the alley.

Liu Huling just wanted to thank Xiaotao. She really worked hard for her family's affairs. She was still pregnant. Xiaotao looked at the clothes on Aunt Liu's body, frowned and looked at the side, and found one and a half pieces of clothes from a family's drying clothes. The dry man's gray cloth coat was worn by the aunt, and the gray turban was also on the head, and some dust was smeared on the face.

With two sweet potatoes in her bosom, Liu Huling bared her teeth and followed Xiaotao directly to Zuichunfeng Xiaobailou.

Seeing one of the bustards being dragged into the door by two men, Xiao Tao strode directly inside.

"Hey, Master Ke, are you drinking tea or resting?"

Seeing two more men coming, the old bustard, who can smile easily, hurriedly swayed to meet them.

"What? You won't be allowed to enter the house until you rest?"

Xiaotao hummed harshly.

"Oh, Mr. Ke, don't get me wrong, we are not a vegetable market, and drinking tea in it is not something ordinary people can afford."

As he said that, the old bustard looked up and down at the gray cloth gown that Xiao Tao was wearing, her face was covered with dust, and the dog fur hat was on her head, she was definitely not a rich owner.

He stared and looked at the man next to him, grinned, with a look of contempt.

Xiaotao reached out and took out a few taels of silver, flashed it in front of the old bustard, rolled her eyes and said, "Don't look down on people, let's see how many girls this young man can find to accompany me?"

Immediately, the old bustard's eyes brightened, thinking to himself, it seems that one can't judge people by appearances, and quickly bared his teeth, smiling walnut lines all over his face, and instantly piled rouge and gouache in his creases.

Xiaotao understood what it means that folds can trap a fly to death.

"Oh, Master Ke, hurry up and get inside, it's too cold outside."

Then he reached out to put his hand on Xiao Tao's shoulder, Xiao Tao quickly dodged, he really despised her for being dirty.

Before reaching the door of the room, the old bustard shouted into the room: "Girls, hurry up and welcome Mr. Jinzhu!"
