Don't panic when fleeing famine, the farm system is busy raising cubs to get rich

Chapter 60
An Zikang, who was screaming in pain from the beating, seemed to wake up instantly when he heard what his younger brother said, and covered his face and began to cry.

And the old woman was frightened by the appearance of her fifth child, she was so frightened, she just gave out the silver in her hand, and took out all the 14 taels she got without any reservation.

An Zihao stepped forward to take the silver, and looked at Ge Mingyu and Liu Mei's two sisters-in-law. Ge Mingyu didn't dare to delay, seeing that the old lady had given it all, so she also gave a tael of silver in her hand.

And Liu Mei, without giving money, shook her head and looked at her daughter.

An Qingyan also lost her mind at this time, she was shaken after hearing what my uncle said about being a slave and a handmaiden being reduced to slavery.

But look at the moment, she can't even wear closed-toed shoes, and she is ordered to do this and that by her patriarchal parents every day. She is enough. What is the difference between this and a slave?
Therefore, when the other families were not ready to sell, An Qingyan still insisted, but she made a request, asking the old Mrs. An to give her a tael of money for selling herself.

Liu Mei's face immediately changed, and she looked nervously at Old Mrs. An, fearing that Mrs. An would give the one or two in her hand to her daughter.

If Mrs. Ann gave her daughter another tael of silver, she would be willing, but if she wanted to give away what she had in hand, she would definitely not agree.

She gave birth to An Qingyan, why didn't she even have a share of money.

An Zihao listened to it for a while and looked at it for a while, and found that it was impossible for his sister-in-law and niece to change their minds and not sell themselves, but the niece has her own thoughts and can take care of herself. Can't manage that much.

While they were confronting each other over one tael of silver, they quickly counted eight taels of silver, carried An Qingling in their arms, and delivered it to Butler Pei.

Steward Pei hadn't planned to take this little girl in at first, but seeing her sick and her parents looking so inhuman, she felt a little distressed.

Seeing that there was a reasonable and humane uncle taking care of her, he just took the silver over, just in time for favors.

"No! Absolutely impossible!"

Just as An Zihao finished refunding the money, old woman An's screaming sounded from behind.

An Zihao was taken aback, he quickly hugged An Qingling and walked away, then returned the remaining seven taels of silver in his hand to his mother, turned around and walked towards the crowd, he couldn't control the affairs here.

It's not that he is partial, he only cares about the daughter of the third brother's family and doesn't care about the elder brother's family.

All he wants to do now is to heal Xiao Ling'er who is only five years old in front of him. He doesn't believe that the third brother is so cruel and doesn't want a daughter when the time comes.

Things went awry for a while, but in the end An Qingyan still couldn't get a penny from the old Mrs. An, so she followed Butler Pei away, while Liu Mei successfully kept the one tael in her hand.

By the time Steward Pei was able to get away, he had already taken away five maids. Even after hearing An Zihao's words, those who were going to sell them all backed down, but there were still people who didn't care about the consequences for money and made up for it one after another.

Most of the Shanbei Zhuangzi are patriarchal, and it is also because girls do not get land, and they have to prepare a dowry when they get married, and the amount of dowry often represents their status in the husband's family.

Those patriarchal families treat their daughters like livestock, and now they have a chance to earn a fortune without paying a dowry, how could they not be tempted.

The five girls here are all about the same age, and they followed Butler Pei away crying.

On Xia Qiyue's side, she had already found the patriarch's family and was discussing matters with the patriarch.

"Uncle patriarch, do you think I can do this?" Xia Qiyue asked with bright eyes.

The patriarch frowned and thought deeply, but didn't speak right away, which made Xia Qiyue a little unsure, and then said again, "Patriarch, think about it, what I do is also helpful to the folks in Shanbei Zhuangzi. There is a place for water, but it is not certain whether we can stay here. If we really want to flee to the capital, although there will be no shortage of water or food along the way, we still need money to buy it. Those who need money, don’t you think so?”

The patriarch nodded. They are under the jurisdiction of Anyang Prefecture, not Oasis City, so even if they want to resettle the victims, they cannot be settled in Oasis City. They may have to flee to the capital in the end.

In this way, it was just like the girl in July said, even if they were not short of food or water, they were still short of money to buy them.

"Okay! Then I will decide to help you find some in the village!"

The patriarch finally nodded and agreed to Xia Qiyue's request.

"That's great, thank you Uncle Patriarch, but it's okay, I don't want Lao An's family, I'm afraid that there will be no bones left for the three of us to be squeezed!"

It is better to speak clearly and clearly, the patriarch also understands, there is nothing to hide.

"July, although you have separated, but you don't have the separation papers yet, don't get entangled again!" An Wang said worriedly.

"Yes, Miss Qiyue, they were all greedy when you had some money to treat Xuan'er's illness, not to mention that you have so much money now, I'm afraid that woman Liu Mei has already missed it, what should I do?" Liu Jiajia also said. Worry for Xia Qiyue.

Xia Qiyue knew that what they said was right, and she felt uneasy all day long if she didn't get the separation paperwork.

The Great Chu State has always ruled the world with filial piety, if she has so much money in her hand but refuses to give it to her parents without a separation document to prove their separation, it will be a serious crime to go to jail.

I hope that the old An's family will not wake up, come on, when she reaches a safe place, she will find a way to solve the matter.

"Sister..." Xia Jiuyue yelled worriedly behind her. She was worried that they would be bullied by her brother-in-law's family. She knew that her elder sister's sister-in-law was a shit-stirring stick. She had seen it before when she secretly went to find her sister. She bullies her sister.

Xia Qiyue turned her head back, "Don't worry! There is a sister! Didn't the patriarch uncle agree to let me recruit some thugs in the village?"

She originally wanted to talk about bodyguards, but she felt that they didn't understand. The thugs are more straightforward, that is, whoever bullies them, the thugs she recruits must protect them. That's enough. She pays everyone a tael of silver a month. , When she can buy food, she can also provide food.

"Yeah." Xia Jiuyue nodded worriedly, and turned to look at the two cubs to see if they were uncomfortable.

The two children sat in the wheelchair obediently. After their mother stopped them from pretending to be sick, the two sat quietly.

Xia Xinghe was carrying an empty backpack, and looked around, because the drama of selling his daughter over there was over, and he was worried that the crazy old woman would come to find trouble.

"Auntie, Jiajia, don't worry too much about us, I will find a way!" Xia Qiyue sincerely thanked the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for helping her, but always fighting for her and helping her a lot.

Although she also gave steamed buns, it felt that compared with Aunt Wang's care for her, it was still too little.
