Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 33 Going to the Town

Seeing her expression, Lin Zhaoyuan knew what she was thinking. Seeing that she did not give up, he patted his head suddenly, as if he just remembered something, and continued: "By the way, these are all invited by my friends to the county. When the Ling family was a guest, I heard what my friends said, but I didn't know if it was true, so I asked Mother Song for confirmation!"

When Song's mother heard that he was going to the county magistrate's house as a guest, she heard from a friend, so she put away her contempt, stepped forward, gave a salute and said with a smile: "So it's the county magistrate's friend, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Lin Zhaoyuan arched his hands, took a look at Zhang Xiaocao, turned his head and said to Song's mother: "Before, the boy had a banquet at home and went hunting with a few friends. He was accidentally injured. Fortunately, he was rescued by this little girl. Today, I'm still here." I hope Mama Song will hold her hands high, and this girl will be fine!"

When Mama Song heard this, she didn't dare to continue pestering her anymore. She has a backer, but she can't easily fight against the government. Forget it, there is a little girl on the left and right.

Having made up his mind, he said some polite words to Lin Zhaoyuan, and left with his two subordinates.

Zhang Xiaocao stared blankly at the young man who rescued her, and her heart was full of gratitude. Compared with the almost life-saving grace this time, saving him on the mountain that time was nothing worth mentioning.

Lin Zhaoyuan seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, he turned his head suddenly, met her eyes, and smiled heartily at her.

Looking at each other, Zhang Xiaocao was startled suddenly, and wanted to lower his head uncomfortably, but felt that it was impolite, so he held back and gave him a grateful smile.

The interaction between the two was only for a moment, but Zhang Baozhu, who had been staring at Lin Zhaoyuan, saw it clearly. At this moment, the jealousy in her heart was not so strong, and she was about to pounce on him and pinch him.

Here, Mrs. Zhao watched Song's mother leave, and stared at Zhang's grandmother unwillingly, but she didn't have the backbone to say that she would not sell her daughter.

Ever since Zhang Dashan knew that selling his daughter to Song's mother would kill him, he regretted it a long time ago. However, he needed money and had to sell his daughter. At this time, he was looking at Grandma Zhang eagerly.

The patriarch looked at the couple, shook his head, and said nothing more. He wanted to protect the interests of the entire Zhangjia Village. Since Erlang's scandal happened in Dashan's family, since the two of them had discussed it, he had no reason to persuade the Huang family. .

Everyone turned their attention to Grandma Zhang. They suspected that Grandma Zhang was joking. After all, Grandma Zhang lived by selling embroidery, so there was no extra money!
Grandma Zhang stepped forward with a calm expression, and said to Zhang Dashan, "You still want to sell Xiaocao?"

Zhang Dashan blushed, looked at Erlang's earnest eyes, gritted his teeth for the last time, and nodded.

Grandma Zhang sighed, and said, "Well, I bought Xiaocao, but from now on, she will have nothing to do with your Zhang family!"

Those who sell themselves as slaves are under the control of the master's family, and have no relationship with the previous family anymore!

Zhang Dashan was too sad to speak, but nodded stiffly.

Mrs. Zhao quit and yelled: "What's the matter? She crawled out of my stomach, why doesn't it have anything to do with my family?"

Everyone looked at Zhao shi like a clown with contempt, and no one knew what she was up to!
Ever since Xiaocao was beaten to the point of bleeding by her own mother, no one knows how she is living at home, otherwise no one would deliberately sell her to a dirty place today, so she jumped out now, It's nothing more than wanting to squeeze Xiaocao, the poor baby, like before!

Mrs. Zhao didn't care what those people thought of her, but she had a small heart in her heart. This old abandoned woman would have a few taels of silver in her hands, and she must have a lot of money. She has no children. It can be in Xiaocao's hands, and, Xiaocao will grow up in a few years, and she still wants to get a dowry from her!

Grandma Zhang remained calm, but said flatly: "If you don't want to, I just don't buy it!"

Mrs. Zhao choked, and really wanted to say, do you like to buy it or not?
Just looking at the Huang family who were staring at him, Mrs. Zhao suddenly saw that the Huang family was still urging for the bride price, and no one else was willing to pay the money. What else could she say?
In the end, under the witness of the patriarch and Li Zheng, Lin Zhaoyuan took a pen and wrote a deed of selling himself, waiting for Zhang Xiaocao to draw it and file it with the county government.

After receiving the deed of sale, Grandma Zhang carefully took out a money bag from her bosom, and poured out a few taels of scattered silver and a lot of copper coins strung together.

Seeing this, everyone looked at Grandma Zhang's eyes full of admiration. Look, for a person who has nothing to do with them, they all took out all their money.

Such a comparison shows the ruthlessness of Zhang's family even more!
Mrs. Zhao felt uncomfortable and felt that she was at a loss. She was not even allowed to take away Zhang Xiaocao's ragged clothes. If the patriarch was not angry, she would probably have to take off Zhang Xiaocao's clothes.

Zhang Xiaocao wore the clothes made by Grandma Zhang, and left Zhang's house empty-handed. Although she had nothing, she was really happy at this moment. No one could understand how much she wanted to escape from Zhang's house. Now, she finally Get rid of it!

Lin Zhaoyuan looked at the little girl who raised her face slightly, opened her arms, and walked briskly. Her whole body was brimming with happiness, and the corner of her mouth curled into a smile.

Zhang Xiaocao was sketching out a new life in the future, but she heard Grandma Zhang, who was walking with the patriarchs and elders, calling her.

Grandma Zhang looked at Zhang Xiaocao who walked in, patted her head, and asked kindly: "Xiaocao, grandma discussed with your patriarch grandpa, and wants to adopt you under grandma's name as grandma's granddaughter, Do you want to?"

Witnessed by Lin Lizheng, Lin Zhaoyuan, and several clan elders, the patriarch took out the genealogy, crossed out Zhang Xiaocao's name from Zhang Dashan's family, and solemnly wrote "Zhang Yunhua" in Grandma Zhang's branch. "Three words.

Zhang Yunhua is her previous name, which has a special meaning to her. Now that she has left the Zhang family, she is no longer trampled like Xiaocao, so naturally she doesn't want to be called that name again. Xiaocao is her nickname, after all, this The body is the original owner.

As for the deed of sale in Grandma Zhang's hands, it was negotiated between Zhang Xiaocao and Grandma Zhang at the beginning, so as to save the Zhao family from taking advantage of loopholes in the future. became slaves.

Now, when Zhang Xiaocao adopts Grandma Zhang, she really has nothing to do with the Zhao family of Zhang Dashan. At most, she just doesn’t have any relatives who gave birth to the fifth service. The relationship is far away. The Zhang family has no reason to control Zhang Anything about Xiaocao, so that even if Zhang Xiaocao has something to do in the future, Zhang Xiaocao ignores it, and no one will use this to accuse her of being unfilial, let alone sue her in the yamen for this reason.

When the group came out of the ancestral hall, Grandma Zhang and Zhang Xiaocao thanked them solemnly. If the patriarch and others hadn't suppressed her, how could the Zhao family "sell" her to Grandma Zhang easily?Especially Lin Zhaoyuan, if he hadn't been here today, that well-known mother Song wouldn't have left easily.
