Chapter 3
The person in the second room has a detached status in the Rao family. The second uncle has never done farm work since he was a child, and he was sent to school since he was five years old.Today, he is a scholar and works as a master in the school in the town.The second uncle, three sons and two daughters, all three sons followed him to study and take exams in the town, and three members of the family went to school, resulting in a shortage of money.

The eldest son of the second uncle is about to go to Fucheng to take the exam, but the money is still a lot short, so the second aunt has an evil idea, and wants to secretly sell the eldest daughter to a wealthy family to be a maid, so as to raise money for her son. A generous coil.Da Ya's mother found out and stopped her on the way.And forced to die, resolutely refused to sell Da Ya.

For this reason, the second aunt compensated the other party 30 taels of silver.And what Second Aunt earned from selling her daughter was only ten taels of silver.That is to say, Second Aunt lost a whole 20 taels of silver!

20 taels of silver, that's a lot of money, the price of five big fat pigs!For ordinary peasant households, that is a whole year's chewing, and even those who pay back can earn less than 20 taels of silver throughout the year!

Second Aunt Leng Furong was so angry that on the way home, she passed a big river and walked on a single-plank bridge, so she couldn't help but push her big sister.At this time, it was the time of spring water, and the river was rushing, and Da Ya was quickly swept away.After finally being rescued, he was already out of breath. At this moment, Rao Chuyue traveled over and took a big advantage.

However, in everyone's eyes, she was possessed by a water ghost and became an unknown person.It happened that the cousin of the second aunt went to fetch water to wash clothes by the well, and almost fell into the well. The second aunt took advantage of the problem and invited a Taoist priest to do the trick, saying that it was the water ghost attached to the big girl, and the big girl had to sell it. The people in Rao's family will be safe only if they are sold far away, otherwise, the first ones to be restrained will be Da Ya's grandparents.

Although Da Ya's grandmother is still very kind by nature, she is very superstitious, and has a knot with her eldest son.Since the Taoist priests have said this, then Da Ya is naturally possessed by a ghost, and the old man firmly believes it.The second aunt proposed that she could get 50 taels of silver if she sold Xing'er to the mountains outside the pass.Grandma hesitated for a long time, and decided to sell Da Ya regardless of the opposition of Grandpa and Da Ya's family.

Da Ya's parents were naturally not happy, and once again fought desperately, and now they are in a stalemate with Second Aunt.The second aunt's father is a gentleman, and the eldest brother has a small business in the city, so he can be regarded as a respectable family.The second aunt also knows a few words herself. She has been loved by her parents since she was a child. She has a very strong personality and says what she says.The second uncle was eaten to death by her. He was a typical strict wife and never dared to go against her wishes.

The honest and illiterate grandparents have an inexplicable fear of this eldest daughter-in-law.The two elders subconsciously did not object to any of her proposals or decisions.Even if they feel that there is something unreasonable, most of them will not raise any objections, and at most they will remain silent.

The Lizheng of An Languo is similar to the Lizheng of the Tang Dynasty. It is responsible for checking household registration, classifying farming and mulberry, checking illegality, and urging taxes.According to the organization of the village, four households are the neighbors, five neighbors are the protection, one hundred households are the li, five li are the township, and each li is home to one person.In the eyes of the villagers, Lizheng is still a very authoritative existence.Therefore, whenever there is a dispute between the second aunt and the Da Ya family, the grandparents will subconsciously watch the Da Ya family suffer.

What a pity!Rao Chuyue sighed deeply, her thoughts were interrupted by a terrified child's voice.

"Aniang, the second aunt told grandma again that she wants to sell the eldest sister to be a child bride!" The five-year-old girl Erya ran over panting, her thin face was covered with sweat.

At this time, Rao Shouqin came back, and just heard this, the hoe that was still on his shoulder fell to the ground with a "clang" and hit his foot.The blood flowed over his feet all at once, which was very shocking.
