Marrying into a poor family

Xiao Chenyu was stared at by the two men and had no choice but to take two steps forward.

"You are."

In fact, Xiao Chenyu had already heard the conversation between the two of them just now, and he couldn't say anything even if he wanted to pretend not to know.

The girl brushed the messy hair on her face with her hands, got up in a rather embarrassed manner, and subconsciously hid behind the old man. Even if her father wanted to sell her, her father was still her subconscious support when facing strangers.

Xiao Chenyu's eyes did not dare to fall on the girl. Because she was soaked, the thin clothes in summer could no longer cover the exquisite curves of her body.

Therefore, he could only stare at the old man's face and nodded. Seeing that the other man was looking at him very warily, he hurriedly pointed to the entrance of the alley not far away and said: "Don't be afraid, old man. I'm not a bad person. My family is Here, I’m just passing by on my way home now.”

The old man looked back doubtfully, then looked at Xiao Chenyu: "It's raining so hard, what are you doing out there?"

Xiao Chenyu wanted to say: It's raining so heavily, what are you father and daughter doing here?

However, Xiao Chenyu did not ask, but instead cupped his hands, held an umbrella and walked forward away from the father and daughter.

The old man was a little confused, then turned around and looked at Xiao Chenyu's back.

The girl behind him also stuck her head out and looked over. She grabbed the old man's arm and exerted a slight force to bring the old man back to his senses.

He suddenly remembered what he had not done and returned to his previous demeanor. He grabbed his daughter's arm and started to walk forward.

The moment of dependence and tenderness immediately collapsed, and the girl had to lie on the ground again. It was not easy for her father to drag her.

However, the old man was on guard. The delicate and frail girl was no match for her father who was doing farm work. She couldn't escape, so the girl could only cry out for help.

Xiao Chenyu heard it, and he didn't want to care, but his steps were a little slow.

As soon as he entered the alley, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him. Before Xiao Chenyu could turn around, his wrist was tightly grasped by a pair of cold and trembling hands.

Looking down, he saw the girl chasing after him. She was kneeling in the rain and grabbing Xiao Chenyu's wrist. Her eyes washed by tears and rain were all pleading: "Please, please, help me, my dad." They want to sell me to a gambling house, but I can't go, I can't go. Please help me, as long as you are willing to help me, I will be willing to work hard to repay you in this life and in the next life."

The old man rushed over with a wooden stick he picked up from the roadside, and struck the girl's back. The moment the flesh and bones touched the stick, the girl let out a scream and threw herself forward onto Xiao Chenyu's lap.

The old man didn't seem to be relieved, and while cursing, he raised the stick again. Of course, this time the stick did not fall, but was intercepted by Xiao Chenyu.

Xiao Chenyu has never seen this scene, but he has heard about it. This scene is so similar to that of his mother-in-law!
  While holding the old man's hand in place, Xiao Chenyu immediately stepped back, trying to get rid of the woman's arms tightly hugging him. Especially when the girl's unique soft body was pressed tightly against him, it made Xiao Chenyu, who was strong-blooded and abstinent for a long time, a little nervous. Flustered, perhaps, there was also a hint of disinterest, but all these emotions disappeared in an instant.

However, the woman seemed to want to use Xiao Chenyu as her only life-saving straw. She was so strong that she couldn't break free for a while.

The old man transferred his anger from his daughter to Xiao Chenyu, trying hard to grab the stick and beat the nosy man in front of him; Xiao Chenyu could only throw away his umbrella and fight with the old man, while the girl hugged Xiao Chenyu's legs tightly, and was simply a ball. confusion. Fortunately, Liu Xi and others in the house heard the movement at the entrance of the alley, opened the door and went out to investigate, and found three people tossing in the rain. They stood and watched the jokes for a while, and then someone hesitated and said: "That man seems to be our second master?"

Liu Xi took a closer look and said, "Oh, it's not his second brother." Then he roared and rushed over, ignoring the pouring rain, and his servants also ran forward.

Soon, everyone rescued Xiao Chenyu from the hands of the old man and the girl.

But the girl cried and begged Xiao Chenyu and followed her to the gate. She knelt down and kowtowed hard, asking them to buy her with money.

"Good-hearted people, please buy me. I would rather be a slave than go to such a dirty place. If I go to such a place, I might as well die."

The drowned girl cannot be said to be charming, let alone pretty, but her body really made the hearts of all the men beat wildly. They were looking at the sky and the ground, or looking at the pursuers, but they were no longer presumptuous. The old man only dared to glance at the woman quickly with his peripheral vision.

Xiao Chenyu went back to the house, changed his clothes, and briefly wiped his hair, and then he saw Liu Xi walking in.

"Have you been dismissed?" Xiao Chenyu asked with a solemn face.

"How can you pass the time?" Liu Xi sat down on the chair, water still dripping from his head, but he didn't care, picked up the tea cup and drank a cup.

He added: "However, that girl is really pitiful. She is the second sister. There is an older sister, two younger sisters and a three-year-old younger brother at home. Now the younger brother is sick and urgently needs money for medical treatment. Now the harvest in the fields is almost invisible. After disappearing, the old man planned to sell the person to a gambling house so that he could get money for his younger brother’s medical treatment.”

Xiao Chenyu has never been to a gambling house and doesn't know the facilities inside.

Hearing this, he threw the hairkerchief to Liu Xi, motioned for him to wipe his hair, and sat on the chair on the other side to drink tea: "What does the gambling house want a woman for?"

"My second brother, you are really an ignorant scholar. You don't know what the gambling houses want women to do?" Liu Xi exaggeratedly expressed surprise at his second brother's ignorance.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xiao Chenyu glared at him, Liu Xi smiled hurriedly, and came over a bit shamelessly.

"The gambling house is said to be a place for gambling, but there are also women who add to the fun. For example, when someone doesn't want to gamble and wants to leave, does it need to be stimulated and retained? Men, in such situations, it is easy to get excited, even to yourself I don’t know anything about my last name anymore, and in the end I can even export my own wife and children!”

In fact, there are many women in gambling houses. They are similar to the girls in brothels. The women in gambling houses are even lower. Men who enter gambling houses can touch, pinch, hug and kiss them at will. Worse than a brothel, you need enough silver to get in and ask for a girl.

"Then what does it mean outside now? That girl wants to sell herself to our family?" Xiao Chenyu frowned, always feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Let's see." Liu Xi glanced at Xiao Chenyu with some guilt, coughed dryly, and said: "This girl is really pitiful, why not let's buy him out. Anyway, the family is short of people, and saving people can be considered a good deed." It’s a good thing.”

Xiao Chenyu looked at Liu Xi. Question: "Have you promised to keep someone?"
