Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 4 Returning to the Bai Family
At the head of Shilipu village, Bai Shao jumped off the cart, smiling sweetly, "Thank you uncle for sending Shao'er back, uncle is a good man."

"Good boy, go back quickly, the family should be worried." The middle-aged man smiled heartily, turned around and beat the mule, and left.

Bai Shao kept smiling sweetly until the figure of the cart was no longer seen, then she returned to her expressionless face.

According to Xiao Bai Shao's memory, Bai Shao's house should be in the east, that is to say, if Bai Shao wants to go home, he has to go through half of the village.

At this time, it was the time for farmers to do nothing after breakfast and take a walk to digest food, so Bai Shao walked all the way, and met many people with strange eyes.

She could hear some whispered conversations.

"Hey, isn't this the little granddaughter of the Bai family? Didn't she say she was sent to be a maid? Why did she come back in just two days?"

"Looking at it like that, I'm afraid I have suffered a lot."

"It's a crime to send such a small child to be a servant girl."

commit a sin?

Bai Shao laughed.

What if these people knew that she was not sold to be a maid, but a brothel?
But soon, Bai Shao couldn't laugh anymore.

Because in Xiao Baishao's memory, she was abducted by the second fool.In other words, when they found out that she was missing, the family members should be worried about looking for her.

Why, now it has become "Bai Shao was sold to be a maid?"

Bai Shao is not a fool, Bai Shao is very smart, so when her thoughts turned, she wanted to understand something.

In order to verify her idea, she did not rush into Bai's house directly to find her parents, but stood quietly outside the wide-open gate of Bai's house and listened for a while.

At first, the Bai family was very quiet.

After a while, crying suddenly broke out in the main room of the Bai family (the house in the middle of the rural family).

"Mother, father, Shao'er is still young, her father and I have never asked her to do anything, she is clumsy, and she goes to serve the elder, what if she offends him. Please, mother, please, Let Shao'er come back, Shao'er is still young..."

It was a woman's cry, so desolate and desolate, it made people cry.

No need to guess, this is also Bai Shao's mother.

"Mother, mother, please, let Shao'er come back, Shao'er really doesn't know how to serve others, Shao'er is only seven years old, why...how come...then...sell her Ah." The woman whimpered.

"It's a blessing to let her be a maid. Don't you know what's going on in our family? How about eating and drinking at other people's homes, isn't it better than eating bran and swallowing vegetables with us?" At this time, a slightly old female voice, strong The woman's cry was interrupted, "What are you crying about here? If you have the time, you might as well go back and give birth to a grandson for me. It's not a hundred times better than a girl."

Damn, patriarchal old society.

Bai Shao clenched her lower lip, hesitating, not knowing whether she should go in or not.

Listening at the door for a long time, only hearing Bai Shao's mother crying alone, no one else made a sound, so one can know that in the whole family, only Bai Shao's mother cares about her.

Others, especially the old female voice with a vicious voice, made her want to retreat even more.

Such a family, such a living environment, such a group of relatives who have no affection, may not be as good as Bai Shao alone.

Thinking of this, Bai Shao wanted to leave Shilipu before the Bai family found her.

But as soon as the body turned around, Bai Shao heard a suspicious voice, "Bai... Bai Shao?"

Before she could turn her head, the voice yelled with certainty, "Bai Shao is back, Fifth Sister is back, grandpa, grandma, Fifth Sister is back."

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Then, a woman in her thirties burst into tears, ran to Bai Shao from the main room, half-kneeled in front of her, and pressed her into her arms.

"Shao'er, my Shao'er, you are back, mother is so worried, Shao'er..."

Although the impression of this Bai family is very bad, although the memory in his brain is not complete, Bai Shao can also feel that this mother-in-law, Wu Shi, really loves Bai Shao.

"It's my mother who is sorry for you. My mother didn't take good care of you. Shao'er is not afraid. My mother will protect you from now on..." Mrs. Wu whispered in her ear, "You are my mother's destiny, and my mother can't let you down... My mother must take good care of you." .”

"The third family, what are you muttering about?" A group of people walked out following the woman, and the leading woman, who was about fifty years old, said coldly, "Mr. How could a little girl run away..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the little girl in Wu's arms, and immediately stopped in place.

Bai Shao raised her head and took a brief glance at the woman. Originally, Xiao Bai Shao's memory fragments let her know that this woman who looked very well-dressed and well-dressed was her grandmother, Mrs. Liu.

"Really back?" Several middle-aged men and women standing behind Mrs. Liu looked at each other without speaking.

"Mother." Wu Shi hugged Bai Shao, turned around and knelt down to Liu Shi, "Mother, since Shao'er is back, don't let her go to Zhu Yuan's house again, Shao'er is still young. Look at her now, mother, I really can't go."

After finishing speaking, he tightly wrapped his hands around Bai Shao's waist, as if someone would come to snatch her in the next second.

"They were all given to Zhu Yuanwai's family. It's not clear how they came back now. If they ran out privately, of course they have to be sent back." Liu straightened his clothes, held his head high, and said slowly, "Although we are just It is a family of farmers, but there must be rules, since the fifth sister has become a servant girl of the Zhu family, she should be under the care of the Zhu family, even if you are her mother, you cannot be her master."

Bai Shao could clearly feel the trembling of her body hugging Wu, she didn't know whether she was angry or frightened, "Mother...Mother, you, you said earlier that Bai Shao was going to stay at her second aunt's house for two days, if I didn't miss Shao'er I wanted to find her, but you still didn’t tell me that you actually sold Shao’er. Anyway, Shao’er is also a child of the Bai family, and you are her mother. She is only seven years old. So hard to sell her. Now... Now that Shao'er has finally come back, you can let Shao'er go, I will be a maid for her, and I will go to Zhu's house for her?"

If Wu's words were a bit tough at the beginning, later they turned into soft words and begging, without a little bit of momentum, Bai Shao kept frowning.

At first glance, Mrs. Liu was not an easy person to stick around. If Mrs. Wu could be tougher, she would be able to get Mrs. Liu to give her some points if she said no, but she softened her tone, so it would be no wonder Mrs. Liu would spare her.

Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Wu finished speaking, Mrs. Liu's voice rose, "The ones they bought were young girls who didn't go out to train them. You are quite old, what do they want you to do? You also Take a photo without pissing, just like you, if you want to work for Zhu Yuanwai's house for free, they don't need you."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Liu waved her big hand, and said to the people behind her, "Hurry up and send Fifth Sister back. If Zhu Yuanwai really comes to your door, we can't explain it to others."

"Mother, I can't, I really can't." Wu Shi looked at Liu Shi desperately, suddenly let go of Bai Shao, and kowtowed at Liu Shi, "Mother, Shao Er really can't go, Shao'er is only seven years old. As long as mother can't let Shao'er go to Zhu Yuan's house, mother can do whatever she wants with me, even if she wants my life, please mother."

However, no matter how loudly she knocked her head and how sad her words were, Mrs. Liu remained indifferent and insisted on sending Bai Shao to Zhu Yuanwai's home.

Slowly, Wu's forehead was broken, and blood flowed down her face.But she still kowtowed to Mrs. Liu unconsciously, begging her not to send Bai Shao away.

Bai Shao stood beside her, with a heart that had no feelings for the Bai family, slowly being passive.

"Don't kowtow." She, who had been acting as a bystander, couldn't help but rushed up, hugged Wu's arm, and stopped her kowtow.

Of course, a little girl can't stop the power of a grown woman.

But Wu Shi felt sorry for Bai Shao, and was afraid that Bai Shao would be hurt, so when she hugged her arms tightly with both hands, she tried her best to support her body, just not to bring Bai Shao down.

"Stop knocking." Bai Shao opened her eyes wide, leaned into Wu's ear, and whispered, "They won't send me away, you listen to me..."

Of course it won't be sent away.

The so-called selling to be a maid is just a fabrication.

The real situation is that someone from the Bai family told everyone on the surface that she was sold to the Zhu family as a maid, but actually secretly sold her into a brothel.

If Bai Shao was really sent to Zhu's house, wouldn't it be exposed that this person sold a woman from a good family to a brothel?

Farmers live in poverty. In order to save a few mouthfuls of food, or to marry a son for the family, there are many girls who are sent to rich families to work as maids. This is not a bad incident.

But it would be a heinous crime to send a good girl to a brothel, a place that peasants think is very dirty.

Therefore, Bai Shao is sure that the person who betrayed him will not dare to send him back to Zhu's house.

Sure enough, Wu's side stopped kowtowing, and after making a face of despair and resignation, someone stood up on the other side.
