Dragging the family to flee famine?Don't be afraid, I have room to fill the granary

Chapter 7 Lu Yu sells her baby for food
The old woman thought for a while, then took a step back, "That's ten catties of grain."

"Two catties, no more than that." After the man finished speaking, he made a gesture to return to his previous seat.

Tao Qiqi watched the whole process.

Originally, she wanted to replace the little girl from the old woman, but now that she thought about it, it was easier for the two men to deal with the more arrogant and unreasonable old woman.

Watching the excitement is no big deal, Tao Qiqi twitched the corners of her mouth, and said lightly: "If it were me, half a catty of grain would be too expensive for me. At this time, having money is not necessarily stronger than having grain."

Sure enough, after listening to Tao Qiqi's words, the old woman began to make calculations in her mind. After a while, she slowly said again: "Add more, four kilograms."

Seeing that the man was unmoved when he heard four kilograms, the old woman had to take a step back and said, "Three kilograms, three kilograms really can't be less. If you buy this cheap hoof, you can not only accompany you two masters, but also do some work." no."

After hearing what the old woman said, the two men looked at each other, then turned around, and one of them asked, "Sell this stinky girl, can you be the master?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, I am her grandma, her mother died last year, her father, my son, there, there, her leg was injured. So I led her here .”

The old woman pointed to a group of people a few meters away, and then continued: "The other two are also my sons. Those sitting around are all from my family. We have a lot of family members. If we didn't have to, we wouldn't sell her. If you can do it well, sir, I’ll give you some more.”

The old woman had some brains, and while taking advantage of the large population in her family to show off her pity, she also hinted to the two men that I have a large family, so you two should not bully me as an old woman.

The two men looked in the direction the old woman was pointing, and one of them asked, "Do you have her body bond?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The old woman took out the little girl's identity card from her arms and showed it to the two men.

The two men nodded after looking at it, and one of them said, "Okay, we bought three kilograms of grain."

"It's done, it's done." The old woman didn't expect to finally sell the goods at a loss. Although she only got three kilograms of grain, it was enough for them to eat for a while, and she was immediately happy from ear to ear.

As soon as the contract of selling oneself was signed and the food was taken, before leaving, he did not forget to scold the little girl viciously: "You are a cheap hoof, you are a loser. From now on, you will follow these two gentlemen. Don't blame grandma, I am cruel and there is nothing I can do about it." , there are so many people in the family waiting for food, and now at this juncture, if I don’t sell it to you, our whole family will starve to death. Even if you honor me with these three kilograms of food, you will no longer be a member of my old Fang family. You can take care of yourself."

After speaking, he held the food and left without looking back.

However, just after taking two steps, the two feet seemed a little too excited and did not quite listen to the old woman's words. They had their own ideas when stepping on the left foot and the right foot.

Then I saw the old woman giving Mother Earth a close hug, and the grain bag in her hand flew out.

Because the old woman was too happy just now, her face fell to the ground first. When she got up because of the missing food bag, Tao Qiqi, who was watching the play next to her, couldn't hold back a snort, and almost choked on her own saliva.

Dust was all over the flattened face, and blood flowed from the nose in an instant.

The old woman didn't care about her bleeding nose at that time, so she got up quickly to find the grain bag.

As a result, I searched for a large circle of grain bags but couldn't find them.

"Grain bag, my grain bag, where is my grain bag? Has anyone looked at my grain bag? My grain bag!! Ouch yoyo, my grain bag, yoyo yoyo yoyo" the old woman said on her side I searched anxiously and cried anxiously.

Seeing this scene, Tao Qiqi couldn't help feeling 'sympathetic' in her heart.

For the first time, I felt that "a bamboo basket fetching water in vain" can be used as a compliment.

When people from the old Fang's family a few meters away saw this, the two daughters-in-law ran over immediately, first obediently helped the old woman up, and then helped find food.

The closest one to them was Tao Qiqi, and a woman boldly asked, "Master... have you seen... see, our grain bag."

Tao Qiqi held back a smile and replied: "No."

As a result, the old woman next to her was unhappy and said, "It must be you. You guys are in the same group. You must have taken the food. It must be in her carriage. Go up and look for it."

"Let's see who dares!" Tao Qiqi shouted coldly. The old woman was so frightened that her legs almost went weak and she lay down in Mother Earth's arms.

But after seeing her two sons coming over, she became more confident again.

"Second brother, third child, he must have taken our grain bags. These people must be in the same group. Go to their carriage to find them. They must have hidden them in the carriage."

"Dare to try!!" Tao Qiqi got out of the carriage and stood in front of the carriage. Although she was thin and small, her aura was so cold that the second and third children couldn't help shivering.

The other woman on the side was also timid and afraid of making trouble, so she said to Tao Qiqi with a weak and pitiful look: "Master, we don't mean to offend. This food is our family's life-saving food. My mother was there just now." You fell down next to the carriage. In just a blink of an eye, the grain bag disappeared, so we, Master, just let us go in and look for it and have a look."

Looking at the woman in front of her, Tao Qiqi couldn't feel any sympathy.

"What if I say no?"

When the old woman's son heard this, he said fiercely: "Then don't blame us for being rude!"

"Oh,……"

"What's going on? What's going on? Who's making trouble here?!" Before Tao Qiqi could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the voice of an officer.

The officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the city saw that there was a commotion here, and hurried over to deal with it.

But when he pushed through the crowd, he was surprised when he saw Tao Qiqi.

"what happened?"

When the old woman saw the official coming, she immediately started her performance again, "Master, you have to make the decision for us. My life is really miserable. My family is just waiting for that little food to live..."

"Speak well, get to the point!!" The official is also impatient, seeing that the old woman didn't get to the point for a long time, he yelled angrily, and swallowed back all the words that the old woman was frightened.

Then he looked at Tao Qiqi and said, "You tell me."

"Yes, sir." Tao Qiqi responded, not forgetting to salute the master, and then told the official what happened just now.

After hearing this, the official said slowly, "It is not unreasonable for them to be so suspicious. Of course, this person coming and going may not really fall into your carriage. In this case, I will go up and have a look. If not, let them report to the Young Master." Apologize to the lady in the carriage. Master, do you think this is feasible?"

"The official said, we naturally believe that the official will return our innocence. Please wait a moment."

Tao Qiqi said, got on the carriage, then got into the carriage and helped Tao Qiniang down, leaving her seat for the official to go up and search.
