Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 27 The "Hidden Disease" of the Young Master of the Huang Family

However, if you buy this cow back, you can’t kill it and eat it, right?
  In ancient times, slaughtering cows was a serious sin!
  The cattle bought back can only be used to plow the fields or pull cattle carts.

Jiang Wei took Jiang Xiaoxiao all the way down and finally bought seven chickens.

A chicken costs twenty-five cents, and a total of one hundred and seventy-five cents was spent.

Seeing that they bought a lot, the seller gave them an extra bamboo chicken coop to hold the chickens.

After buying the chicken, the mother and daughter turned around and left.

At this time, a tall, thin old man with dark skin walked by holding a sheep. As he walked, he shouted, "Who wants to buy a sheep?"
  When passing by the mother and daughter, Jiang Wei opened his mouth and asked: "How much is it?"

The tall and thin old man looked at Jiang Wei, who was carrying the chicken coop, and his eyes lit up: "Girl, do you want to buy it? This is a dairy goat raised on a high mountain. It can produce goat milk! If you want it, I can buy it for you for three taels of silver. !”

Jiang Weiwenyan glanced at the sheep he was holding. It was a ewe. It was quite fat, but it was lame in its right hind foot.

The weather was too hot, and the sheep was sunburnt and lacked energy.

"Three taels of silver is too expensive. Your sheep is not only lame, but also sick and dying. How about two taels of silver?"

"Two taels of silver? This price is too low..."

The tall and thin old man looked hesitant, looking at the suckling goat with a bit of reluctance, "If the family was really poor and couldn't take the blame, I wouldn't be willing to sell the only sheep in the family..."

He murmured: "That's all, two taels of silver is just two taels of silver."

The two paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.

Jiang Wei held the chicken coop in one hand and the reins in the other, and the mother and daughter left the street together.

Jiang Xiaoxiao has short legs and a small step, so she still has to take a bullock cart back.

However, just when the mother and daughter found the bullock cart, Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking across the street.

Take a closer look, isn't that Li Shoude?
  There was gauze wrapped around his nose, and he was walking with his hands folded across his chest and his head bowed. His arms seemed to be hiding something, bulging.

Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled her mother to show her.

Jiang Wei took one look and immediately frowned: "He has a lot of money hidden in his arms...it looks like a lot."

"Where did he get the money?" Jiang Xiaoxiao also frowned.

Looking at the direction he came from, it seemed to be the way to the county seat?
  Could it be that he went to the county town to find the Huang family? !
  Jiang Xiaoxiao had an inexplicable bad feeling in her heart.

Logically speaking, if she had not been abducted by the old Li family, their marriage to the Huang family would have been in vain. How could Li Shoude still have a relationship with the Huang family?
  "Xiaoxiao, follow mother." Jiang Wei rolled his eyes and suddenly pulled Jiang Xiaoxiao towards Yuelai Building in the county town.

Not long after Shopkeeper Zhou returned to the restaurant, he turned around and saw Jiang's mother and daughter entering the restaurant, and hurriedly greeted them personally.

"Hey, why are you mother and daughter here?"

"I came to ask you for some news."

Jiang Wei directly explained his purpose, "Do you know the Huang family in the county?"

"The Huang family..."

Shopkeeper Zhou's expression changed and he looked at her strangely: "Why do you want to inquire about the Huang family?" Jiang Wei smiled and said with an impassive expression: "I heard that the Huang family is a well-known wealthy gentry family in the county. My ancestor also served as an official in the capital, and many girls in our village want to marry into his family."

"This is impossible!"

Shopkeeper Zhou looked at Jiang Wei and then at Jiang Xiaoxiao beside her. He seemed to understand something and immediately lowered his voice and said: "Although the Huang family is rich, they are not easy to get along with. The young master of the Huang family is also a You pampered playboy, your daughter is still young, don’t even think about marrying into a place like that and suffering the consequences!”

Jiang Wei knew that he had misunderstood and did not explain. He only said: "Why? I heard from people in the village that as long as you are willing to marry your daughter to his family, you will be given at least twenty taels of silver as a bride price!"

For an ordinary farmer to marry a wife, three taels of silver would be enough to make a fortune. To the people in the village, these twenty taels of silver would undoubtedly be an astronomical sum!
  "Hey, Miss Jiang, let me tell you the truth. The young master of the Huang family has a hidden illness. You are harming your daughter by marrying him off!" Shopkeeper Zhou persuaded him earnestly.

Jiang Wei didn't know that he was on to the point of his question, so he hurriedly said: "Then what kind of hidden disease does he have? Can you tell me more specifically?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao also quietly pricked up her ears to listen.

In the original book, the plot of the original owner is that he was sold to Ren Yazi by the Li family, and there is no mention of the Huang family.

Therefore, she didn't know what hidden disease the young master of the Huang family had.

"Well, I'm actually not sure. The Huang family is very tight-lipped, and the servants are even more secretive about their master's affairs. I am also..."

Having said this, shopkeeper Zhou suddenly looked at the pedestrians walking outside with vigilance, then covered his mouth with his hands and continued in a low voice: "That time I happened to go to the Huang family's house to buy a banquet, and when I passed by the backyard, I saw two families. A servant carried a little girl out of the house of the young master of the Huang family..."

"The little girl looked seven or eight years old. She was naked, without any clothes on. There was blood dripping from her lower body, and she was all rotten..." Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't help but swallowed his saliva at the end, with a smile still on his face. Somewhat horrified.

Hearing this, Jiang Wei's face suddenly turned cold.

When she thought about how her daughter was almost abducted into such a wolf den, she wanted to tear the members of Lao Li's family apart with her own hands!
  Soon, she darkened her face and asked, "Isn't there anyone who reports this kind of thing to the official?"

"What official are you reporting to? Those people voluntarily sent their girls to the Huang family. They said they were given twenty taels of silver as a gift, but in fact they sold their girls to others. Whether they live or die, they are all under the control of the Huang family from now on. "

Shopkeeper Zhou sighed: "Besides, you also know that the ancestors of the Huang family were officials. Even if they have moved to this remote place in the countryside, they are still related to the nobles in the capital. No one in the county government Dare to interfere in his family’s affairs.”

The mother and daughter left the restaurant with gloomy expressions on their faces.

A brown-red horse galloped across the street. The man on the horse whipped his whip, leaving a "drive" sound and walked away.

Those are county government clothes.

The people who rode past on horseback just now were people from the county government.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked away, sighing that the class system in the ancient world was really cruel. Officials were far above the poor, treating human life like a piece of grass and trampling on it at will...

……

Returning to the village, the villagers they met along the way were startled and screamed again when they saw the suckling goat in Jiang Wei's hand.

"Ms. Jiang, did you buy this sheep in the town?"

Aunt Wang carried the wooden bucket on her shoulder and looked at the goat with some jealousy. She said with a sour tone: "I think you are very lucky. Just pick up a wolf on the mountain and you don't have to do any work all day long. After running to town all day long, I can still get such a big sheep!"

Why is this man talking with a gun and a stick?
  Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned unhappily.
