Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 28 Selling Women
"You debt collector, you don't go home all night, do you want to kill my mother?"

Zhao rushed forward with bloodshot eyes, and punched Zhang Baoyin several times.

Zhang Baoyin didn't dodge, and when Mrs. Zhao vented her anger, she stepped forward with a smile on her face, and jumped out as if she didn't want money if she said nice words, so that Mrs. Zhao couldn't remember that he didn't return all night.

Zhang Xiaocao got up early in the morning to feed the pigs and chickens, and clean the yard. Seeing this scene, she suddenly felt weird. Could it be that Zhang Baoyin really borrowed money?
Hearing Mrs. Zhao asking about the money, Zhang Xiaocao stepped forward curiously, wanting to know where he borrowed the money from, but when she got close, Zhang Baoyin gave her a vigilant look, and hurriedly pulled her away. Mrs. Zhao went to her west room and closed the door with a bang.

A bad premonition suddenly flashed in Zhang Xiaocao's heart, and her intuition told her that this matter is not easy!
In the West Room, Zhang Baoyin excitedly told Mrs. Zhao what Hu San'er said. Seeing Mrs. Zhao's hesitant face, she became anxious.

"Mother, this is a good thing that is hard to find even with a lantern. It is a big family in the county. After entering, it is delicious and spicy. There is also a monthly payment. Yinzi begged grandpa to sue grandma!"

Mrs. Zhao was a little moved, but she still didn't agree immediately. She wasn't reluctant to part with that obtrusive thing, but she was just worried that others would poke her Zhang's back.

Zhang Baoyin became impatient. He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so he resorted to his trump card, knelt down on the ground with a thud, hugged Zhao's legs and cried, "Mother, do you think daughters are better than sons?" Important? Don’t you want to watch your son go to the big prison? Hearing that someone went in, he didn’t come out completely, so he can’t go!”

Looking at her son who was crying bitterly, Mrs. Zhao felt distressed like something, and hurriedly pulled him up.

"If you don't agree, my son won't get up!"

Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to nod repeatedly, "Okay, okay, mother promises you, is it still okay if mother promises you?"

When Zhang Baoyin heard this, he stopped crying immediately, stood up and hugged Mrs. Zhao happily.

"Mother, this is a good thing. Not only can we get the money that the girl sold herself, but we can also let her return the monthly money to honor you. Moreover, if the master of the family likes this, we will have all the glory and wealth in this life! "

Mrs. Zhao was worried that it would not sound good to outsiders, but when she heard this, she immediately thought of a "wonderful" idea!
That's right, she sent that dead girl to live a happy life, who dares to say that she sold her daughter for glory!

Immediately, the remaining hesitation in my heart disappeared completely!
The mother and son were discussing how to sell the daughter, but they didn't find a small figure hidden under the window outside.

In the utility room, Zhang Xiaocao was mending the torn clothes with a needle and thread, but suddenly saw her nephew Zhuang Zhuang running in in a panic, grabbing the hem of her clothes and not letting go, his face turned pale in a hurry: "Little Auntie, hide quickly, Grandma and Second Uncle are going to sell you!"

He is still young, so he doesn't know what it means to sell. He only knows that if the beautiful flowers embroidered by his mother are sold, he will never see them again. If the eggs laid by his chickens are sold by his grandma, he will not eat them arrive.

He must not lose sight of his little aunt!
The strong child's words sounded in Zhang Xiaocao's ears, like a thunderbolt, making her ears buzz...

Even though she knew that the people in this family were cold-blooded and ruthless, Zhang Xiaocao never thought that they could be so cold-blooded!
In this day and age, it is not uncommon to sell children, but those are poor families who cannot get rid of the blame, or are forced to do so in the face of natural or man-made disasters. How can anyone sell their daughters for the sake of their sons getting married?
If this matter gets out, not only will it be cast aside by others, but it will also shame the unmarried children of the family, and it will be difficult to talk about marriage, even if there is, it will not be good.

Oh, your son has no money to marry, so he has to sell his daughter. My daughter married to your family and gave birth to a son. It’s okay, but if I give birth to a daughter, will I have to bow to everything and have no status in my husband’s family?Does he have to sell his granddaughter as soon as he runs out of money?

Looking at the blue sky outside the small window, recalling Zhuang Zhuang's words, Zhang Xiaocao clenched his fist tightly. If Zhuang Zhuang hadn't gone to the latrine and accidentally heard Zhang Baoyin crying, he wouldn't have squatted under the window to eavesdrop curiously. Did he not know that he was going to become a slave until the day he was sold?

She is eager to get rid of this family, but she will never sacrifice her personal freedom!

It is obviously impossible for Mrs. Zhao to give up the idea of ​​selling her now, unless she can immediately take out 15 taels of silver, which she can also take out, but they don't pay a price, how can it be?How can she be worthy of the dead Zhang Xiaocao, and how can she be worthy of the physical and mental pain she has endured when she came to this family!
She will make them "satisfactory", otherwise, how can she be worthy of their plan?
After making up her mind, Zhang Xiaocao put away all her sewing clothes, told Zhuang Zhuang not to tell anyone about it, explained it to her sister-in-law, and went out...

The atmosphere of the Zhang family has changed, it is no longer as heavy as before, Mrs. Zhao no longer loses her temper, Zhang Baoyin is also full of ambition, stays at home all day and does not go out to fool around, Zhang Baozhu looks at her more and more. Viciousness, but never found fault again.

Even Zhang Dashan, who had been looking sad all the time, frowned, just looking at her eyes, full of dodge and guilt, made her suspenseful heart fall heavily to the bottom of the valley.

Originally, she thought that Zhang Dashan, a father, still had some affection for her, but compared to her son, she was nothing, and would always be the dispensable, abandoned one!
In this way, she doesn't have to feel sad. Since these so-called relatives chose to abandon her first, she doesn't have to feel guilty!
Only Mrs. Liu was as friendly as ever, because she had no status in this family, Mrs. Zhao would never ask her opinion on such matters, so she didn't know that poor sister-in-law was about to be sold.

This made Zhang Xiaocao feel better, and she didn't tell the truth to her sister-in-law.

For the past two days, Zhang Xiaocao has been pretending to be nonchalant, as if she didn't know that she was about to be sold. On that day, not only Zhao's mother and son were looking forward to it, but she was also looking forward to it!

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. At this time, the yard of the Zhang family was full of people again. Some people were just watching the fun, while others were worried that the Zhang family would fight with the Huang family if they could not get any money. The other is gloating, wishing for the Zhang family to be in bad luck.

Early in the morning, apart from Widow Huang, mother and daughter, butcher Huang and his son, the Huang family all came. Not only that, but also their relatives who were closely related to them also came to cheer. A leak.

Huang Butcher, the head of the Huang family, has a hunchback and back, and his eyes are like copper bells. Just standing there casually makes people feel pressured. This is the first time Zhang Xiaobao has seen such a "vicious" person. He had to cry loudly, hiding behind Zhao Shi and not daring to come out.
