Spatial Farming: Busy with Cubs to Abuse Scum

Chapter 16
After talking about the Tian family, the mayor glanced at the trembling Qiao family couple again, their legs were so frightened that their legs went limp.

"It's unfortunate to be the daughter of your family. I don't feel sorry for the flesh that fell off my body. My daughter is going to be rubbed to death. Instead of saying that I feel sorry for the child, I complain instead. Let me tell you, she did the right thing. Your daughter is not a girl bought by Tian's family, she doesn't want to be abused by Tian's family, it's not wrong for her to come out, you and your wife scold her like this, you think she's ashamed, why do you want her to go home?"

Qiao Shicheng didn't know what to say, he couldn't say it, and wanted to sell his daughter again to add some food to the family, right?
He couldn't say it, and he didn't have the face to say it.

But the family is really in trouble, and now it is the time when the grain is not harvested. After paying the public grain, there will not be much left. In the middle of May, there are still two months, and it is really hard to get rid of it.

"Zhen, Mr. Mayor, the family is really too difficult. She is not at Tian's house now, and she is living so well, so, we, we will"

"Wait, where is she?"

"She, she is well dressed, and she doesn't have to do farm work anymore."

The mayor shook his head and said, "Is that good? She dresses well because she sold it to shopkeeper Lu. The clothes and jewelry belong to shopkeeper Lu, not hers, so she doesn't need to do farm work, but she wants to give it to shopkeeper Lu." Arranged work to pay off the debt, you are still free, but what about her? Have you thought about it?"

Qiao Shicheng's head was stuck, and he looked unconvinced. It seemed that he was determined today, and he wanted to find something from Qiao Mai before giving up.

"But it's not easy for us to raise her."

Qiao Mai looked coldly at this poor, indifferent couple who only had their son in their eyes.

"Didn't you exchange a hundred catties of wheat for the gift of childbirth?"

"No, that's a bride price, we just didn't give you a dowry."

Qiao Mai understood that this was cheating, and shopkeeper Lu's heart was also moved, and he didn't intervene.

"Then tell me the amount, and see how to repay this kindness. I already owe shopkeeper Lu 20 taels of silver, which is calculated as a salary of 20 Wen a month. I want to pay back shopkeeper Lu for [-] years. You can tell me the amount. Listen, let's see if I can pay off shopkeeper Lu's debt when I die."

One sentence caused the onlookers to burst into laughter. This sentence was a sarcasm for the Qiao family and his wife in the Chi Ke class.

Anyway, this is not the first time they have encountered such ridicule. They are poor and short-sighted, and they are discriminated against everywhere.

"Five, five taels of silver?"

This is what Qiao Shicheng said with gritted teeth, after all, it is much more than the one hundred catties of wheat back then.

"Write a divorce document, and the mayor will be the witness. After you get the money, you will no longer be my parents. We will never communicate with each other."

"Then, that's twelve taels!"

Suddenly, Qiao Mai's eyes turned red, he wiped away his tears, and said in an infinitely sad way.

"Okay, in order to repay your kindness of giving birth, I am willing to exchange my freedom for the next few decades. From now on, we will go our separate ways and stop being entangled. Is there any kind-hearted person who can help me write a divorce letter?" Documents?"

"I'm coming, I'm coming,"

It's really not a big deal to watch the excitement, the mayor took a look at the inconspicuous Qiao Mai.

"Joe, have you thought it through?"

"Think clearly, my parents' family is poor, and the family has a small area and many people. It doesn't matter if I work for shopkeeper Lu to death, as long as they live well."

As he spoke, he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, and the mayor sighed.

"Since ancient times, parents have depended on their sons for their support. When a daughter is married, she is a member of the family. Even if they are divorced, the mother's family will not let the daughter take care of the elderly. I didn't expect that the Qiao family would rather break up their relationship than ask for this money. If you want to talk about such a person, how can you say that?" There are quite a few, it seems that if you don’t read books, you don’t know how to be polite, if you don’t read books, you don’t know what parents are and what family affection is, alas~”

The mayor is like a commentator, explaining to the people in the town.

The enthusiastic person wrote two divorce letters to Qiao Mai, both written and written by shopkeeper Lu, and she asked the enthusiastic person to help write an IOU, and then handed it over to shopkeeper Lu.

"This is an IOU of ten taels of silver. I will give you another ten years of work in the future."

"Girl, you have to think clearly, you will work for me for 30 years, and you will be old by then."

"Let's pay back the favor to our parents first, they are waiting for money to buy food."

These words, as if she is such a sensible and filial girl.

Qiao Mai borrowed ten taels of silver from shopkeeper Lu, and brought it and the divorce letter to Qiao Shicheng.

"Press your thumbprint and this is yours"

Qiao Shicheng took the document without hesitation, and Qiao Maihong handed over the ink pad with eyes red, poked his finger in it, and pressed it on the document.

In duplicate, the Qiao family and his wife pressed them.

Qiao Mai took a long breath and handed over the money.

"After getting the money, we are strangers, and we are not allowed to visit shopkeeper Lu again. She is my savior."

Just like that, Qiao Shicheng and his wife lowered their heads, walked out of the crowd without making a sound, clutching the money tightly in their hands.

Old man Tian and his wife followed quickly and rushed out of the crowd.

I didn't read the almanac when I went out today, so it's okay to offend shopkeeper Lu, even the mayor has a problem with them.

Originally, this matter was only spread in secret, but now it has been confirmed in the open, so how will Xia Tian's family go out in the future.

Wrong, the Tian family has thick skins, they are not afraid of others knowing if they can rub their wives.

The only one who can't go out is the eldest grandson of the Tian family.

Tian Yaozu, 13 years old, is studying in a private school in the town, and this year may end in trouble.

He has known about this for a long time, but he has been pretending not to know. Qiao Mai usually doesn't grumble, but has been silently enduring it, and at most the village can say a few words.

What he didn't expect was that Mrs. Qiao dared to turn against Tian's family, which was something he never dreamed of.

And it also spread to the teacher and classmates. The teacher asked, and the classmates inquired, which made his face hot.

After returning home after Muxiu, he told Old Man Tian about this matter and asked them to come forward to resolve it. It would be better if he could coax him back to Qiao's, but if he couldn't coax him back, he might as well go to the town to show his face and show his concern.

Unexpectedly, things backfired, just Tian Li's virtuous conduct ruined the matter with a single mouth, and he didn't know how he was complained by his eldest grandson when he returned home.

The mayor drove away all the onlookers, and shopkeeper Lu quickly saluted the mayor.

"Thank you, my lord, for upholding justice for us women."

"Well, the mayor of this town is just acting impartially. Later, I will tell the village chief of Taohua Village and the people of Lihua Village to stop making such a thing up. It would be too embarrassing to spread to other towns."

"Yes, yes, don't look at them making people happy for a while. When they get old, they will definitely suffer. Such things must be taken care of. Otherwise, who will dare to marry a daughter after that? When the time comes, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will fight each other in chaos. Yeah, don't you think so?"

"Makes sense, makes sense."

The mayor smiled, glanced at shopkeeper Lu, then turned and left.

The Embroidery Village finally regained its calm. Shopkeeper Lu dragged her into the room, and when he saw the finished products on the table, he screamed.

"Oh, this is so beautiful!"

"That's right. At that time I had no money, so I ordered a three taels of yellow rosewood. It would be even better if I used ten taels of sandalwood."

"This is already very good. I think it looks great. 100 taels, no problem, absolutely no problem. If you add a piece of red silk to the bottom, whoever looks at this fan likes it, just wait!"

Shopkeeper Lu turned around and went to the counter, opened the small cabinet behind him with a key, took out a piece of red silk cloth, locked the cabinet again, and walked to the table with twists and turns.

Spread the cloth inside and put the palace fan up.

"Tsk tsk, what a beautiful palace fan!"

"Just put it in the store and sell it?"

"No, I decided to take it to the county seat myself. I have a good friend who is the wife of a wealthy family in the county. I will sell it to her. She is not short of money. When the time comes, someone will like your embroidery work. It came to me through her."

"It's not bad, it can make Ruyi Embroidery Zhuang famous faster, but I don't accept orders."
