reborn child bride

Chapter 3

"You can get a bowl to drink yourself. Don't worry, I won't tell my mother." Anyway, he doesn't want to eat eggs anymore.But he couldn't say that.Otherwise, chicken soup will be served tomorrow.This year's drought, the harvest in the field is not as good as in previous years, and my mother guarded him again, and did not go to grab the water source.Of course, even if she tried to rob, she would not be able to rob someone as a woman, but she could get some.Therefore, the harvest may be less than half of previous years.The chicken that lays the egg is very important. After all, an egg can be sold for two pennies.Two cash a day is sixty cash a month, and you can buy a lot of things.

Shen Ji swallowed her saliva, "Master, I don't dare." She really couldn't call herself a slave, which is one of the reasons why Wei Ying felt that she didn't treat herself as a girl in her heart.These days, he has been observing this sister-in-law, she really doesn't look like a girl bought for two taels of silver.

"Just do me a favor." He really wanted to share the egg soup with his mother, but she would never eat it.

Aunt Wei went to the neighbor's house to borrow things at the moment.Shen Ji glanced at Wei Ying again, "Master, are you serious?" It is estimated that this kid really doesn't want to eat eggs.That's right, anyone who eats eggs like this every day will feel like vomiting.

Wei Ying nodded, "Yes."

Shen Ji was no longer polite, he scooped a bowl and drank it by himself. He also scooped up a large piece of egg and ate it hungrily.It's a little hot, but don't worry about it, Aunt Wei will be back soon.

Wiping his mouth carefully, Shen wrote: "Thank you, young master!" It's really delicious!The taste buds finally got a little relief.As a foodie, the life of porridge and vegetables for more than half a month hit Shen Ji more than the fact of "selling his body to bury his father".After all, she was not the original one, she took the shell of someone else's daughter, but she also sold herself to him for a coffin for two taels of silver.This is considered clear.In fact, she didn't regard herself as a slave at all in her heart, and all the respect she made was to gain Aunt Wei's trust.

Aunt Wei's cooking skills are not good, but even so, there are very few good things that can secretly eat eggs.It's not easy to recite Mrs. Wei, and she doesn't often go out at this time.

There is indeed nothing else delicious in this house. There are still vegetables in the field to eat. If they finish eating, there will only be pickles and porridge.Wei Ying's daily medicines alone cost a lot of money. Seeing Aunt Wei's worried look, it is estimated that the family will soon be unable to open the pot.

At the end of the day, she wouldn't sell herself again in exchange for some money for her son's medicine.Shen Ji began to feel uneasy.However, fortunately, Aunt Wei did not do this for the time being.Now it was Shen Ji's turn to be surprised.In the sense that Mrs. Wei regards her son as more precious than her eyeballs, it shouldn't be.

Finally, the embroidered picture was delivered on this day, and five hundred Wen was also received. Aunt Wei will go out to buy rice and oil tomorrow.Tomorrow is the market.

As a modern person who only knows cross-stitch, Shen Ji of course doesn't know what kind of embroidery Auntie Wei embroiders.However, after seeing the finished product, the embroidery method is really delicate.In modern times, such an embroidery picture should be able to sell for tens of thousands.Only [-] Wen were sold here.It is said that it was because Aunt Wei's craftsmanship is really good that she paid a high price.

During this period of time, Shen Ji and Wei Ying talked a lot, and from his mouth, one penny is almost equal to one yuan in modern times, and one tael of silver is the concept of 1000 yuan.Sad reminder, her worth is two taels of silver, which is equivalent to a thousand eggs.However, the question came back again, why did Mrs. Wei buy her.For two taels of silver, she had to embroider four such large, screen-like embroidered pictures.Certainly not for the sake of letting me take care of Wei Ying, she likes to embroider pictures.Because she rushed to work day and night, it took a whole month to finish the embroidery.At this moment, the family is waiting for the money to be used, and she doesn't have a plan, so she probably won't spend these two taels of silver.

Could it be that he really wants to make himself happy.no!Although Wei Ying is good-looking, but he is only less than fifteen years old, so she doesn't want to marry him.

Wait, Wei Ying is only less than fifteen years old, and now she is only eight years old.Probably not.If it was for joy or for him to leave behind, he probably wouldn't buy a child.Now that there are many natural disasters, two taels of silver are enough to buy a thirteen-year-old girl.

There must be something famous here!

Whatever it is, Mrs. Wei is going to the market tomorrow, so she can sneak away.

That night when she brought dinner in, Wei Ying suddenly said, "Do you know what will happen to the fugitive slave if he is caught?"

Fugitive slave?who?It took Shen Ji a while to realize that Wei Ying was talking about her.Secretly startled, how did he see it?

"Master, what are you talking about?"

"It's best if you don't understand. I want it, ahem!" Wei Ying suddenly coughed violently, and Shen Ji had no choice but to go over and pat him on the back.Aunt Wei also came in after hearing the sound, "Ying'er, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's fine."

Aunt Wei looked at her haggard son, "Mother will go to the town tomorrow, and mother will go to the town to ask the doctor to take the medicine again."

Shen Ji was surprised and said: "Ma'am, why don't you just grab the medicine without asking the doctor to check the pulse?"

"Where is the money to hire a doctor to see a doctor, I can only describe the symptoms to him."

"Uh, how much is it for a doctor's visit?" Shen Ji asked while feeding water to Wei Ying.

"In such a remote rural place like ours, at least five renminbi silver, and even more if you add the medicine, you may not be willing to come. In fact, I invited a doctor to see a doctor last time. There are no good doctors here in the remote villages, so I can't prescribe it. There are not enough medicines and herbs for the symptoms." Aunt Wei muttered to herself, her eyes showing helplessness after suffering for several nights.

Five qian silver is five hundred wen.Shen Ji reconfirmed that Aunt Wei spent money to buy herself for something.Wei Ying raised her dark eyes to look at her, and then said, "Mother, don't waste your money."

Aunt Wei sighed, "How can I not spend it?" She glanced at Shen Ji as she spoke, and went out with a sigh to pack up the eggs and other things that would be sold at the fair tomorrow.It's not that she doesn't want Shen Ji to do it, but after this month, she finds that Shen Ji's work is often a waste of help, and only after taking care of Wei Ying can satisfy her, she chooses to do these chores by herself.Otherwise, if two of the eggs are accidentally broken in the future, the four coins will be gone.Moreover, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Shen Ji was literate and could talk with Wei Ying.

When she went out, Shen Ji asked: "Master, you haven't told me what will happen to the escaped slaves?"

"You don't have to pay for death." Wei Ying said indifferently.

ah!Too, too, no human rights.

"Besides, how do you run away if you have no money or food? You don't know the way, why don't you go out and be caught by traffickers and sell it again."

Shen Ji thought to himself that he would not know where he would be sold.Or, she could be sold to a wealthy family as a maid, with no worries about food and clothing, but she might just die a miserable death.Shen Ji thought of Qingwen, Siqi, Yuanyang and others again.What's more, they were sold directly to brothels, trained for several years and then treated as cash cows.In comparison, although the Wei family is poorer, at least they have not been beaten, scolded and abused, and their food is as poor as Aunt Wei's.
