Marrying into a poor family

Liu Xi waved her hands repeatedly, but her eyes were full of expectation.

Xiao Chenyu is someone who has been here before. At the same time, he also knows Liu Xi and instantly understood what Liu Xi meant: "Have you fallen in love with that girl?"

"No way? Second brother, don't talk nonsense. I haven't even said a few words to her." Although Liu Xi's words were powerful and powerful, it was a pity that his gradually red ears betrayed him.

Since it is a big matter for brothers, Xiao Chenyu is happy to have it accomplished, and a smile of interest appears on his face: "Actually, you are not young anymore. If you find the girl you like, you should take good care of it."

"Hehehe, it's still too early to say that you like her now. Don't rush. The real thing is to settle her down first." Liu Xi's neck turned red. It seemed that he really liked the girl.

Thinking back to the first time he saw Qin Xiang in the crowd, his heart skipped a beat, so he could understand Liu Xi's thoughts.

"However, as agreed, it is your business to stay. I do not bear this responsibility." Xiao Chenyu said seriously.

"Second brother, are you afraid that your sister-in-law will be jealous? I understand!" Liu Xi exposed Xiao Chenyu's background without mercy, and of course he also provoked a fist.

After the fight, the two got down to business: "Liu Xi, to be honest, although you are a little tempted, you still have to see the girl's character first. Another thing is that you finally got rid of the constraints at home. It’s better not to get into another troublesome wife and family.”

Liu Xi lowered his head slightly, thought for a while, then raised his head and smiled: "It's still early to say this, but second brother, what you said seems to be your experience, right?"

Xiao Chenyu smiled and said quite proudly: "Yes and no. Although your sister-in-law's natal family is complicated, she is also capable. Even without me, she can solve her own problems by herself."

Speaking of this, Xiao Chenyu also felt a little sad. It seemed that he was really unimportant.

Xiao Lian ran in and asked, "Master, what should we do with the father and daughter outside? Should we close the door?"

Xiao Chenyu glanced at Liu Xi and said to Xiao Lian: "Invite people into the main room to take shelter from the rain. I will go there later."

"Okay!" Xiao Lian jumped out again like a monkey.

The girl's surname is Ma, and her name is Ma Hui. She is seventeen years old this year.

The father, Ma Dahan, wanted to have a son. After giving birth to four daughters, he finally got a son, and he was raised in the countryside to be proud and wealthy.

However, the daughters are pitiful. The older two have to work in the fields like men, while the younger two have to do housework and take care of their younger brothers.

The parents favor their younger son. The eggs belong to the younger brother and the meat belongs to the younger brother. They even tell their four daughters every day that the younger brother will be their future supporter in their husband's family and they must treat him unconditionally.

In short, this is an ordinary farmer's family, and the parents are just partial.

However, such a family cannot tolerate some changes.

For example, if something goes wrong now, the parents sell their daughters together.

The eldest sister has to take care of the family's work, so she is not married yet at the age of eighteen, and she is already engaged, which must not be sold.

I really couldn't bear to sell the small one, after all, it wasn't even old enough.

No need to think too hard, only the pungent second daughter Ma Hui is the most suitable.

After briefly understanding the situation of the Ma family, Xiao Chenyu remained silent. Ma Dahan stared at Xiao Chenyu and swallowed nervously: "The uncle bought my daughter, whether it is a slave or a maid, or to warm your bed, I just ask the uncle to give me more money to save my little son. life."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Liu Xi, even Xiao Lian couldn't help but spat and cursed: "You're such a biased old man, your son's life is important, but your daughter's is not? Surely? If you say such things in front of your daughter, are you still a human being?"

Being scolded by a little kid, Ma Dahan was also anxious, but he also remembered that his daughter was also in the room. He didn't look at his daughter, but still stared at Xiao Chenyu with his neck straightened up, asking for an answer. Anyway, he had already come to this point, and he also Don't expect Ma Hui to forgive them one day.

Xiao Chenyu was wondering whether to keep the person. It didn't matter if he gave him some money, but it would be a bit troublesome to keep the person.

So, he asked: "How much money does your son need to see a doctor?"

"At least, at least forty taels!" Ma Dahan was not stupid at all. He rolled his eyes and said an amount that the other party could get, which was slightly higher than selling his daughter to a casino.

Xiao Chenyu glanced at Liu Xi, who looked troubled. He received two taels of silver from the Qin family every month. Last time, Qin Xiang even gave him fifty taels as social expenses.

However, Liu Xi didn't have any calculations. He almost used as much as he had. Now it was enough for him to take out only three to five taels. Forty taels was really too much.

Xiao Lian interjected again: "Old man, you are too greedy. Even if your daughter is sold to a gambling house, she won't be able to sell it for forty taels, right? You are like a lion, forty taels, why not go and grab it? .”

Although he was talking about Ma Dahan, Ma Hui behind her was already ashamed. She had stopped crying long ago. She only covered her face with her hands and shrank her shoulders, thinking only of finding a crack in the ground to get into.

Liu Xi saw her embarrassment and pain, and suddenly stood up and said: "Forty taels, I'm out, but your daughter will follow me from now on, and you can't disturb her again."

Everyone looked at Liu Xi, feeling that he was particularly impressive today.

Even Ma Hui let go of her hand and raised her head to look at Liu Xi blankly. Liu Xi's back instantly straightened up again.

Only Xiao Chenyu knew that Liu Xi was actually pretending to be fat, but the situation between brothers must be maintained.

So, without saying anything, he asked Xiao Lian to fetch forty taels of silver. The bulging bag of silver was thrown into the old man's hand. The old man was so excited that he almost knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir, my son is saved, my son is saved."

There was silence in the whole room, everyone looked at the excited old man holding the money and being happy. Everyone felt sorry for the girl, it was the money for selling her body.

Liu Xi didn't want the deed of betrayal, but Xiao Chenyu thought about it and asked Xiao Lian to get a pen and paper, write the deed of betrayal and let the old man draw it and postpone it before letting him go.

Ma Dahan took two steps outside, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Ma Hui, who was standing against the wall in the corner, moved his lips, and finally said: "From now on, you will belong to someone else's family. Be obedient and live a good life. When your brother grows up, he will remember your good qualities."

From beginning to end, Ma Dahan could not wait for a look from Ma Hui, let alone a single word of answer.

Ma Dahan left, and the money in his hand seemed to be no longer so precious. After leaving the door, the Xiao family servants immediately closed the door. From then on, Ma Dahan and his daughter were separated.

He turned around and looked at the closed door, and suddenly shed two lines of tears. Ma Dahan yelled at the door: "Ma Hui, my daughter, my father can't forgive you, so don't blame your father and mother. It’s strange that God has no eyesight and insists on raining and raining all the time.”

"Boom--" A sound of thunder followed by lightning, and Ma Dahan immediately took back all his dissatisfaction with God and left in embarrassment.
