Mrs. Pei quickly fried the loach and called Ah Li and the others to eat it.

Ah Li looked at the black loach in front of her eyes and was afraid to stretch out her hand. She expressed doubts and asked, "Mother, is this really delicious?"

Pei was afraid that they would be afraid to eat it, so she made a sample first.

Smiling, he picked up a section with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, "It's delicious! You don't know that when my mother was young, my family was poor, and your uncle and I went to the river to catch loach, and your grandma made it for us and ate it back. But it’s not fried like this.”

Ah Li, she also reached out and took a piece of it. It was delicious and crispy, and the taste was surprisingly good.

"It's delicious, I'll catch it tomorrow."

When they were eating at noon, there was a noise outside.

Ah Li looked at the door curiously, and found a ten-year-old girl being dragged forward by her family.

The little girl didn't want to cry and struggle back hard.

No one stepped forward to persuade, they all gathered around and watched.

"Mother, what are they doing? Why are they taking that young lady away? Are they going to sell it?"

Mrs. Pei also came over to take a look and sighed, "Oh! The girl is so old, she must be talking about her husband's family!"

"Is it okay if you don't want to marry?"

"It's difficult for women in this world. Your sister Ruan, a lady of great family, did not escape. She was not willing to marry into the Cheng family, let alone these poor families."

"Auntie, won't our father do the same in the future!" Xiao Hua asked curiously from the side.

"Stupid girl, how could it be! If he dares to do this, I dare to deal with him. You remember our family members, we will not interfere too much in the marriage of the girl or the boy, but it depends on the other person."

Ah Li and the others nodded half-understanding, probably because they were still young and didn't understand much.

This is someone's private matter and they couldn't take care of it, so they sat back and ate.

Lin Changlu changed the subject and said to Ah Li: "Didn't Li Li want to grow medicinal herbs? I told everyone today that there are two large plots of land on the mountain behind for you to grow medicinal herbs."

"Wow, thank you dad, I'll go to the mountain to find some seeds to plant."

Pei suddenly thought of something, "Li Li, you don't have to look for it yourself, you forgot that your god-sister Wu Lan and the others often collect herbs, so there must be seeds."

"Yes, then we can buy seeds from Sister Wu Lan."

"When we go back in two days, we will pass by on the way to see them."

Just as they had just finished eating.

Liu Tiezhi hastily knocked on the courtyard door.

"Boss, ma'am, the daughter of Master Chen hit the wall."

Pei frowned, and asked eagerly: "Could it be the girl who was dragged away crying just now?"

"It's her. Master Chen found an elderly widower for her. The girl of the Chen family didn't want to, so she slammed her head into a stone on the side of the road before leaving the village."

"How can you let her marry a widower? That girl is not very old! Her parents are also willing?"

"Hey! It's not Master Chen, it's the stepmother."

Mrs. Pei and the others understood right away that generally a stepmother would have a stepfather. Although there are good stepmothers, such cases are rare in this place.

"Then how are people doing now?"

Liu Tiezhi immediately replied: "The girl of the Chen family has lost a lot of blood and has fallen into a coma. Her stepmother is not willing to see a doctor for her. I thought that my little boss is good at medicine, so can I trouble you to take a look for her? That girl is a poor guy."

Of course Ah Li is willing, and will follow him with the small bag.

Mrs. Pei immediately stopped Ah Li, turned to Liu Tiezhi and said, "Hurry up and bring that girl here! She has such a powerful mother, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble if I fail to save her."

They didn't dare to let Ah Li take risks. She was young and didn't understand her heart was sinister. As parents, they wanted to reduce the risk for her.

Liu Tiezhi felt that she was right when he heard it, and immediately turned around and left.

Soon he came back with Chen Erya in his arms, followed by several men and women.

The little girl was skinny and skinny, her clothes were almost full of patches, her forehead was hit with a big wound, her skin was torn and bloody, she looked very pitiful.

Pei's heart ached, and quickly asked him to put Chen Erya on the soft bed of the room next to the hall, leaving only Ah Li to shut the others out.

She didn't want others to interfere with her family's A Liyu's rescue.

Ah Li went up to show her the wound and felt her pulse, but luckily she was alive.

She took out a bottle of pills from the small bag, poured one out of it and fed it to her.

Then he treated the wound on her forehead.

After finishing all this, Chen Erya also slowly woke up, and found that the place she was in was very strange, and immediately sat up in panic.

Because she lost too much blood, her head became dizzy and she fell down again.

Seeing that she woke up, Mrs. Pei sat beside her and wiped the blood on her face with a towel thrown in warm water.

"Girl, don't be stupid again in the future, nothing is as important as your own life."

The fallen Chen Erya burst into tears when she heard her words of concern.

She had met Pei's family, and thought they were very kind, unlike the previous landlords who were proud and arrogant.

So Pei's gentle words seemed like a life-saving straw to her.

"Ma'am, I don't want to marry someone who is as old as my father, but my father insists on me marrying, so I might as well die, maybe I can see my mother. I miss my mother so much. "

"poor child!"

Then Mrs. Pei asked her, "What do you know?"

Chen Erya was a little puzzled why she asked such a question, but she answered obediently, "I can do housework, I can do laundry, cooking, chopping firewood, and I also take care of the little brother at home."

Pei Shi immediately thought of a good idea when she heard that she would take care of the children.

"To tell you the truth, I'm looking for someone to take care of the child. I've been looking at candidates for the past two days. Your parents probably sold you to a widower for money. I'll buy you when the time comes. Would you like to come with us? "

When Chen Erya heard this, she immediately slid to the ground and kowtowed to Pei Shi and Ah Li regardless of the injury on her head.

"If Madam is willing to take Erya in, Erya swears that she will take good care of the young ladies. She will do whatever she wants, even if she wants me to die. If I can't do that, I will be struck by lightning!"

Pei quickly helped her up.

"You girl is too excited. We managed to save your life. You should cherish your life, you know? Since you agree to pretend to be unconscious later, the rest is up to me."

Chen Erya nodded vigorously, "That's right, Ma'am, I know."

Afterwards, Mrs. Pei let her continue to lie on the soft bed, explained a few words to Ah Li, and then went to open the door.

People outside gathered together.

"Ma'am, Erya is all right! If we wake up, we have to continue on our way, so I won't bother you."

It was Chen Erya's cruel stepmother who spoke first.
