Nongmen Space: The wife of the chief assistant is busy raising a baby

Chapter 136 Buying Fish
The girl's hands had frostbite injuries and a thick layer of calluses, and her red fingertips were trembling.

The frozen red cheeks looked very cold, and there were still some red welts on the arms, which seemed to have been around for a long time, but there were new scars on the other arm.

"Why is it so slow for you to get to the water, come back and coax my brother!"

The dissatisfied voice of the woman in the room came out, and the girl shook her body obviously when she heard the voice, shrank back and ran towards the room without stopping.

"Wait!"

Xu Miaomiao called the girl to stop, and looked at Xu Miaomiao timidly with her thin body, she tilted her head in doubt and said nothing.

Realizing that she was being abrupt, Xu Miaomiao immediately explained: "I want to buy some fish."

"Today, there is no fish today."

"It doesn't matter." Xu Miaomiao explained: "I ordered a lot, and it will be the same when I come back tomorrow."

"Uh-huh."

The girl nodded slightly, just as she was about to go in, she saw a woman coming out of the room.

The thick cotton coat protected the woman very well, and the round body was in sharp contrast with the girl, she didn't look like she came from a family at all.

Seeing the girl, the woman picked up the wooden stick beside her and beat her down hard: "Let you pour some water, what are you doing, I can't call you anymore, can I?"

Xu Miaomiao saw with her own eyes that the stick hit the girl hard, but the girl remained silent.

"Wait!"

Xu Miaomiao spoke immediately.

When the woman heard the voice, she saw Xu Miaomiao on the side frowning dissatisfiedly looking at Xu Miaomiao: "Who are you?"

Xu Miaomiao cupped her hands and bowed to the woman in front of her: "My lady, I'm new here next door. I came here today to order some fish from you."

"Oh?" Hearing some business, the woman raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "How much do you want to order?"

"Fifty."

Xu Miaomiao said slowly, the new store really needs to prepare some instant dried fish, it is better to buy all here at once.

When she heard that she wanted to buy fifty pieces, the woman's eyes lit up and she threw the wooden stick aside: "Fifty pieces!"

Zhun and the woman put away her surprised expression, and said seriously: "Even if you want to order fifty, I won't give you a discount."

"It's okay." Xu Miaomiao waved her hands indifferently, took out some banknotes from her sleeve and handed them to the woman: "This is the deposit, I'll come to get the fish tomorrow, okay?"

Staring at the bank note in Xu Miaomiao's hand, the woman was attracted and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay."

Xu Miaomiao looked at the girl on the side before getting ready to go in. He had to observe for two more days before he could draw a conclusion.

Thinking about this matter in her heart, Xu Miaomiao couldn't sleep well at night, so she went to Yufang early the next morning to take a look.

Because the fish shop hadn't opened in the past two days, the things I packed today were unexpectedly many. I saw a busy figure of a little girl, playing with the fish box in front of her.

"Girl, do you remember me?
Xu Miaomiao looked at the small figure in front of her and asked.

The girl's eyes were dull, and she seemed to be accustomed to carrying the huge fish frame effortlessly by herself.

Seeing that it was Xu Miaomiao, the girl nodded hesitantly, and pointed to the fish box next to her: "This is all for you."

As soon as the words were finished, the woman next to her stepped forward and gave the girl a casual push.

It seemed that she didn't have much strength, but the girl went straight back and fell heavily on the ground.

Xu Miaomiao suffocated for a moment.

But the woman in front of her acted as if she hadn't seen it: "Miss Xu, you're here, I've already prepared the fish for you."

Xu Miaomiao's thoughts were not here, so she could only give a perfunctory hum, looked at the woman and said: "There are so many fish, I don't have enough Xiao Si, can you let this little girl go with me and help me."

"Of course, no problem." The woman pushed the girl behind her, and the girl staggered two steps forward: "Hurry up, do it well for me."

The girl nodded slightly, and lifted up the fish box.

After paying off the remaining balance, Xu Miaomiao looked at the thin voice and said, "You come here first."

Because Xu Miaomiao is a big client, even women have to be respectful to her, so the girl naturally hurried up to Xu Miaomiao.

Holding the girl's arm and boarding the carriage together, Xu Miaomiao felt sad for a while. She knew that the child was thin, but she didn't expect to be so thin.

"My lady, what is this for?"

The girl tilted her head and looked at Xu Miaomiao with some doubts.

Xu Miaomiao lifted up the sleeves on her arms without saying a word, and all she saw were bruises and red marks.

Looking at the girl's chest, there were still traces of burns.

"Did they fight?"

Xu Miaomiao's eyes were filled with mist and she spoke.

The girl didn't say anything, but just covered up the red marks on her body.

Xu Miaomiao took out a plaster from the space and smeared it on the girl's arm with distress: "You still have a younger brother?"

"Yeah." The girl nodded slowly.

Xu Miaomiao knew in her heart that most of this family is patriarchal, but it is not necessary to torture the children like this.

Soon after moving the fish that Xu Miaomiao bought, seeing the empty outside, the girl's eyes were a little gloomy.

Xu Miaomiao accurately captured the emotions in her eyes, and she could clearly see nostalgia and fear: "If you need my help..."

Before the words finished, the girl's family jumped out of the carriage and was about to leave.

"Why did you come back, I see if you want to escape!"

A voice came from not far away, and when I looked over, I saw a woman hitting the child fiercely with a stick.

Seeing Xu Miaomiao was startled.

"stop!"

Finally unable to hold back, Xu Miaomiao spoke.

Seeing Xu Miaomiao, the woman quickly changed her clothes and said, "Miss Xu, I am educating the child, if she is not obedient, she will be beaten."

After speaking, I saw a six or seven-year-old boy coming out of the room, following the example of a woman, beating the girl with a wooden stick.

But the woman didn't stop her. Instead, she smiled at the scene: "My son is awesome, he's really strong."

Xu Miaomiao suppressed her voice. She had heard that patriarchal patriarchy is preferred here, but she never thought how serious it would be.

"This lady, they are all your children, how can you treat one more favorably than another." Xu Miaomiao looked at the person in front of her and said.

Hearing Xu Miaomiao's words, the woman frowned in dissatisfaction: "It's none of your business for me to educate the child. This daughter will marry off sooner or later so that her brother can get money to raise a wife. Isn't this the right thing to do?"

The man on the side also followed suit, apparently it was the girl's father: "Yeah, it's just a girl, Miss Xu, just leave it alone."

Xu Miaomiao frowned and couldn't let it go for a long time: "Then you can't beat and scold like this."

The woman looked at Xu Miaomiao dissatisfied as if she had lost patience: "Why don't you buy her?"
