Chapter 291
Wu Xiaoyue's eyes showed disappointment amidst despair.

"Mom, do you want to sell me?"

She always knew that her parents cared about her younger brother, and under the influence of her parents, she always put her younger brother in a higher position than herself.

However, this does not mean that she is willing to sacrifice her whole life.

My younger brother has been weak and sick since he was born, and he almost hanged himself by drinking medicine. The family is very poor, and often he even has to scrape together the money to buy medicine.

Every time her younger brother fell ill, she was very scared, fearing that her parents would sell her for money in order to treat her younger brother.

Although she didn't know why or how her father died, she could still guess from her father and mother's previous behavior that they were doing it for money.

Dad exchanged his own life for money to treat his brother's illness.

Compared with it, her lifelong happiness seems not so important. In Mother's mind, she can sacrifice herself at any time so that her younger brother can continue to live, right?
Wu Xiaoyue was at a loss.

No matter how sensible and precocious she is, she is only a nine-year-old child. The recent accidents at home have exhausted her both physically and mentally. Now that this kind of thing happens again, she really doesn't know what to do.

Luo Shi explained, "Stupid child, you are the daughter born of mother's pregnancy in October, a piece of meat that fell from mother's body, how could mother be willing to sell you?"

"Mother just wants to find a good marriage for you while you are still here. With this kind of marriage, your future husband-in-law will take care of you and your brother when Mother is away."

"You are still so young, mother is really worried."

Wu Xiaoyue kept shaking her head.

"No, I don't want to marry, and I don't want my mother to leave. Mother, can you stay? Xiaoyue can go to wash clothes for others, and she can also wear handkerchiefs to earn money. I will definitely not let my brother have no money for medicine. "

Roche was determined.

"You are still a child, and it is normal to not understand mother's good intentions now. Sooner or later, you will understand mother's decision."
-
Not long after Wu Zhongcai was buried, the Luo family went on a blind date for his daughter, and this matter was spread all over the Wu family village.

The villagers were talking.

"Did Luo Shi go crazy after losing her husband?"

"How long has it been since Wu Zhong was buried? It stands to reason that the children have to observe mourning for three years, but she is so anxious to find a husband's family for Xiaoyue!"

"It's absurd!"

"If this spreads out of the village, wouldn't it make people from other villages laugh at our Wujia Village's lack of discipline?"

"Just live your own life. Others can do whatever they want. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. I want to see what she wants to do."

"The family just finished the funeral, and the bad luck hasn't dissipated yet. Who would be so stupid to marry their family at this time?"

"Xiaoyue looks good, and she is diligent and capable. Maybe someone will come to her."

"It looks good enough to be eaten?"

"Besides, no matter how good-looking she is, she can't stand the burden of having a sick younger brother. After she gets married, she might turn her elbows out and secretly help her natal younger brother behind her husband's back. Such a daughter-in-law is bad, whoever marries who Bad luck."

"Xiaoshan can't lift his hands, shoulders, and drinks medicine all day long. Most people can't afford it. When Wu Zhong was still alive, their family had a hard time. Now that Wu Zhong is dead, can Luo Shi survive alone?"

"When will she not find Xiaoyue's husband's family, but at this time, she should find her husband's family for Xiaoyue. She probably wants to collect a dowry fee, and then rely on Xiaoyue's husband's family to support her son."

"The abacus is very loud."

"No one is stupid. Getting married to their family at this time will undoubtedly bring a burden to the whole family."

"I'm afraid only the old bachelors in the village who want to marry their daughter-in-law are willing to marry her?"

……

Wu Xiaoyue stood in the corner, eavesdropping on the conversations of the villagers. When she heard the conversation in front of her, it seemed that her heart was not so uncomfortable after being pressed by a boulder.

Although both inside and outside the words are dislike for her and her family, but the more dislike, the more no one dares to marry her, and she doesn't have to marry out.

But hearing the villagers' unintentional speculation, her heart fell to the bottom of the valley.

old bachelor...

If no one really wants to marry her, will Mother really sell her to an old bachelor?
-
Wu Xiaoyue's marriage was finalized in less than three days. It was a 28-year-old widower and blind man from a neighboring village who gave the Wu family a bride price of 20 taels of silver.

The dowry of an ordinary woman is around seven or eight taels, and it is the first time in the village that a woman got so much gift money when she got married.

Many people in the village were jealous and gathered together to talk bitterly.

"The blind man's ex-wife died of dystocia when he was 20 years old, leaving only one son, who is now eight years old and only one year younger than Wu Xiaoyue."

"If Wu Xiaoyue gets married, she will be a godmother to her son who is one year younger than her!"

"Luo's heart is really cruel. Then one of Shui Ling's daughters married her to a blind man whose original wife died for a gift of 20 taels."

"That blind man is generous, willing to give 20 taels of dowry money."

"Don't talk about 20 taels of silver, even 30 taels or 50 taels of dowry, I can't even let my daughter be his heir!"

"Xiaoyue also has a hard life, with such a cruel mother!"

……

Wu Xiaoyue was about to go blind from crying, but she still couldn't change the fact that she was hastily betrothed by her mother to a blind man who was married and had a baby.

She even thought that maybe death is also a kind of relief.

Rather than marrying a man who is more than ten years older than himself and has been married once, and living in the ridicule and contempt of others all his life, it is better to get a relief earlier.

Before she could commit suicide, Luo Shi went to the county town to surrender.

The news hit Wu Xiaoyue and Wu Xiaoshan hard like a bolt from the blue, and they couldn't believe that their father was really killed by their mother.

The siblings hugged each other and cried all night, then packed their bags and set off to the county seat early the next morning to find relatives.
-
Gu Rao did not expect the situation to develop like this.

Although Bieye finally came out safely, it was something to be happy about, but she knew in her heart that Luo Shi was not the real murderer.

The person behind the plot failed this time, and it is very likely that they will continue to plot against them.

She can't be happy.

After hesitating again and again, I still begged Gu Qingcheng to tell him all my guesses, and begged him to continue to help me track down the real culprit.

Gu Qingcheng agreed without thinking too much.

"Your concerns are not unreasonable."

"The case this time is indeed a bit strange. If you don't find the mastermind behind the scenes, I'm afraid you will have trouble sleeping and eating. You don't know when that person will attack again. This time it was solved smoothly. Next time, you won't know what that person's plan is. How careful and vicious it will be."

"Hiding in the dark and attacking is really hard to guard against."

"Bieye will be released tomorrow. Let's go to the county government to pick him up and tell the magistrate of our thoughts so that he can continue to investigate the real culprit."

Gu Rao seemed to be worried.

"Father-in-law intervened in this matter, and the county magistrate dare not be as negligent as before."

Gu Rao nodded.

"hope so."
