Abandoned woman from a poor family, she is addicted to wealth

Chapter 223
When Lu Jiu bought the land, there were three families in total. The first family was a poor gambler. Lu Jiu didn’t want his land. In the end, the gambler sold the land to the landlord at a low price, but it was not enough to pay off the gambling debt, so he sold the land to the landlord. His idea hit his eldest daughter who had just turned ten years old, and he insisted on selling her daughter into a brothel to pay off the debt.

Mrs. Chen begged Li Erlang not to sell her daughter, if she really had to sell her, then sell her, but Li Erlang said, she is old and ugly, no one wants her at all!

Because of Chen's obstruction, Li Erlang beat her up.

Most of the women in this era are submissive, except for Lu Jiu who is an outlier.

Lu Jiu dared to reconcile with Lin Wenyi, and the county magistrate awarded Lu Jiu all the property of the Lin family.

Such a living example was placed in front of Chen, and Chen went directly to the county government to sue Li Erlang.

Fu Lanqing hated the heartless man the most in his life, so naturally he directly sentenced the Chen family to reconcile with Li Erlang.

Because the Chen family did not have a son, and in ancient times, sons were always favored over daughters. Li Erlang often beat and scolded several daughters, and did not treat them as human beings at all. To the brothel, so Fu Lanqing awarded several daughters to the Chen family, and directly asked Li Erlang to leave the house.

(Explanation: Don’t tell me that the way of divorce is too modern. There was no such divorce in ancient times. The male protagonist is the kind of person who does not play cards according to common sense, and most of the people in ancient times were legally illiterate. How can they be judged by officials? How to calculate, at the end of the last, this article is empty, very empty, thank you!)
No matter how bastard Li Erlang was, he was afraid of becoming an official. Fu Lanqing sentenced the case, so he naturally didn't dare to trouble Chen's mother and son again.

But he still owes money to the gambling house. If he doesn't pay back the money, he is afraid that his hands and feet will be chopped off by the gambling house.

Li Erlang finally went to beg in front of his brother Li Dalang.

Li Dalang is a person who is easy to soften his heart. Although the family is separated, he grew up with his younger brother since he was a child, and the broken bones are still connected.

So Li Dalang lent Li Erlang five taels of silver behind his mother-in-law's back, but was discovered by Li Dalang's mother-in-law, Li Zhang.

Mrs. Li Zhang scratched Li Dalang's face, but she still refused to let him go. She insisted on asking Li Dalang to get back the loaned money. Where would Li Dalang be willing to go? In the end, she said that if Mrs. Li continued to misbehave, she would just quit she!
In this way, how could Li Zhang dare to mess around.

Holding grudges, Mrs. Li Zhang began to make up gossip about Mrs. Chen, saying that the reason why Mrs. Chen reconciled with Li Erlang was because she had a good friend outside, and she crazily ruined Mrs. Chen's reputation in the village, so that Mrs. Chen's mother and daughter could not hold their heads up. .

Chen's family is full of women, and no one helps them get ahead. Naturally, what others say is what they say.

In order to repay the gambling debts, Li Erlang sold everything that could be sold in the family, and there was not even a grain of grain. The three of Chen's mother and daughter have been digging wild vegetables for a living these days, but now there are very few wild vegetables. When I was going to get weeds and dig tree roots, I happened to hear that the Lu family was going to recruit female workers, so I came here boldly, but was slandered again by the hateful Li Zhang in front of the villagers.

Lu Jiu appreciates women like Chen Shi very much, and is even more moved by her maternal love, so Lu Jiu plans to let Chen Shi stay in Lu's house to work and give their mother and daughter a way to survive.
