Chapter 3

The dilapidated and broken rake was originally Nan Yan's plan to run over to pick up the shameless Zhao Mingda, but it happened to be copied by Wang Shi who just came back and saw the scene in front of him.

Seeing that the unreasonable Wang was about to catch up with Nan Yan with a rake, it was not something ordinary people could withstand the pain, let alone a weak person who couldn't eat enough for a meal. What about Nan Yan?

Zhao Mingda stood aside and shouted at the top of his voice: "Mother, mother, beat her to death! She always winks at me, seduces my soul! Beat her, beat her to death, let her grow up!" Long memory, let's see if she dares to seduce her own brother in the future."

Zhao Mingda and the gamblers hiding near his house bet that Nan Yan will be dealt with today, but judging by the situation of Mrs. Wang's return, it must be impossible to deal with it, so the betting money is lost.In order to understand the hatred in his heart, Zhao Mingda urged his own mother to teach Nan Yan a lesson.

Hearing her son's yell, Mrs. Wang seemed to have suddenly remembered something, but immediately stopped chasing Nan Yan, and threw the rake aside.

"Mingda, if you don't tell me, Mother almost forgot about it!" Wang's anger just now disappeared completely, and she walked towards her son with a smile on her feet.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang stopped chasing and beating her, Nan Yan simply stopped and looked at Mrs. Wang and her son with resentful eyes from a distance.

Wang looked around and saw no one around, so she carefully took something out of her pocket.

"Ah, it's a silver ingot! Where did mother get such a large silver ingot?" Zhao Mingda's eyes lit up, and he took it from Wang's hand, biting down hard to confirm that it was real. .

Mrs. Wang laughed softly, lowered her head and dusted off the dust on her body, and said, "It's not that this little coquettish fox is valuable. Your useless father drew her on a painting and sold her in the street market. Dai Rongjun, the eldest son of the head salt merchant, fell in love with him. This Dai family is one of the largest salt merchants in Yangzhou City, and the family has a lot of money. Don't look at the 50 taels of silver. In the future, this little coquettish fox will marry and enjoy the wealth and wealth. We can also have a good time with the back. So mother can't hit her, how can I explain to Mr. Dai when I hurt her."

"What, you sold Nan Yan?" Zhao Mingda was startled and couldn't help but yelled, which happened to reach Nan Yan's ears not far away.

"Little bastard, keep your voice down!" Mrs. Wang kicked Zhao Mingda, looked back at Nan Yan who was standing there in a daze, and continued, "It's not for sale, it's so ugly! It's called a bride price, you silly boy What do you know?"

"I don't care, anyway, Nanyan is leaving our Shugang Village, how can I bet on Nanyan in the future..." Zhao Mingda stopped suddenly, not daring to continue.

If Mrs. Wang knew that he had bet on Nan Yan's virginity more than once, Mrs. Wang would break his legs.The reason why Nanyan almost died by the river before was thanks to this gambler Zhao Mingda.The previous Nan Yan was too weak, when encountering such a matter involving her own chastity, she might as well die to clean herself up.

"What? What are you betting on? Keep talking!" Mrs. Wang bent down slightly, and pulled Zhao Mingda's sleeve towards Gaoli.

"Anyway...you sold Nan Yan, I just don't agree!"

This is called a stubborn donkey meeting a stubborn hoof, and being stubborn at home.

"I told you, this is not for sale!" After saying that, Wang knelt down and put the sausage mouth around his son's ear.

"You're stupid, just like your useless father, you can't turn your head around. If this Nanyan marries the Dai family, the Dai family will even give us gift money or something. We have this money, How many daughter-in-laws can I marry for you? Not to mention our Shugang village, even the daughter-in-laws in neighboring villages that are richer than us, you can choose as you please. At that time, a nest of daughter-in-laws will be given to you Baby, do you think it's okay?"

Wang's wishful thinking was very well planned, not only can he marry more wives to Zhao Mingda, but with the money in his hand plus the gift money in the future, he can also build a decent small tile-roofed house for himself.

After Zhao Mingda heard Wang's words, he lowered his head and thought about it, thinking that what his mother said was right, Nanyan was worth so much money, if he sold her, he could marry more wives in the future.Almost every family in this village only married one daughter-in-law. Wouldn't it be more face-saving if I married a few more.The key is that we don't need to live in this small thatched hut with air leakage on all sides.

Zhao Mingda thought about it, and became silly and happy to himself.

"Stupid, figure it out? If you figure it out, help me up quickly, my old lady is exhausted from squatting."

Zhao Mingda cheerfully stood up from the ground, and gave Wang a hand.

Nan Yan, who was standing not far away, knew that she couldn't avoid this calamity.She thought to herself, it would be fine to stay in Zhao's family where porridge can be seen as a mirror, but now the Wang family actually treats her as a business and wants to marry the rich Dai's family.

Anyway, neither the left nor the right can hide.As long as she stays in Zhao's house for one more day, Nan Yan's fate can only be controlled in the hands of the Wang family who has nothing to do with her.

The more Nan Yan thought about it, the more angry she became. Instead of being arranged for a fate she didn't want, why not give it a go, leave the Zhao family that made her worry all day long, and go wherever she wants...

She looked up at the mother and son who were in ecstasy, and secretly moved back a few steps, then turned around, closed her eyes and ran out of the yard.

"Mother, it's too bad, Nanyan ran away!" Zhao Mingda had sharp eyes, and when he raised his head, he saw the scene where Nanyan had just ran out of the fenced yard, and chased after her.

Hearing the sound, Mrs. Wang hurriedly turned her head and saw that Nan Yan had already run away, "Oh, why is this little coquettish fox running so fast, it's almost invisible. Mingda, chase, let mother chase, this ready-made The cash cow can't let her run away."

Wang was so anxious that she also chased after her, but she was old and obese, so it was no different from walking.At this juncture, he can only hope that his son Zhao Mingda can chase her back.

Nan Yan has the heart to run, but she doesn't have the strength to run.Before crossing, she had no worries about food and clothing, but after crossing, she never had a full meal, not to mention the delicious meat, and she didn't even eat a few small green vegetables in the field.

Running and running, her vision was blurry, she couldn't run anymore, and she couldn't even see a shadow of the stone pillar at the head of the village.

"Little bitch, why are you running, I'm almost dying of chasing you. Let's go home with me!" Zhao Mingda quickly caught up with Nan Yan, twisting her arm and pushing her back.

The change of attitude was really quick. Knowing that Nanyan would soon be sold like an item for a lot of money, Zhao Mingda's attitude changed 180 degrees, and he immediately scolded her.

Nanyan was escorted back to Zhao's courtyard by Zhao Mingda. Wang was so angry that she snuffed out and wanted to beat her, but she was thinking that if she was broken, how would she explain to Dai's family in the future?
"Hey, you mother and son who are working together will be punished one day!" Nan Yan cursed bitterly as she faced Mrs. Wang.

"Oh, it's terrible, the wings are hard, don't you dare to talk back!" Mrs. Wang has already noticed the change in Nanyan's personality since she came back from the river, but after all, she is just a girl with long-term lack of food. Mrs. Wang was not afraid of the little girl who would break if twisted, and continued to torture her even more.

"I'd like to see what kind of retribution I'll get!" As she spoke, Mrs. Wang waved a large silver coin in front of Nan Yan, raised her head and laughed ecstatically.

Neither tied nor beaten, the only option is to lock Nan Yan into the thatched hut on the side, and Zhao Mingda, who has nothing to do all day long, guards at the door until Nan Yan boards the big sedan chair of the Dai family.

Nan Yan was imprisoned in this broken thatched hut the size of a palm like a prisoner.Although it was broken, it was broken just right, the windows were too small to fit shoulders, the thatched roof was as high as three people, and Zhao Mingda guarded the broken door.

The sky was completely dark, and Nan Yan had been locked in this thatched cottage for some time.Wang Shi finished cooking dinner and asked Zhao Mingda to bring it to her.No matter what, she is going to be married into a rich family, so she must eat Nan Yan well in the last few meals, don't be skinny like a little chicken, so that Mr. Dai's parents will dislike her.

"Mingda, your mother called you to eat!" At this moment, the white-hued old man Zhao Yi had closed the stall and returned home, and called Zhao Mingda, who was rare and serious, to go to the hut.

In order not to let Nan Yan run away, the Zhao family had to take turns eating these few meals.

Zhao Mingda responded cheerfully, touched his already empty stomach, and headed towards the hut.

Zhao Yi waited for a while, and then quietly entered the thatched hut where Nan Yan was locked.

"Father!" Nan Yan, who was half lying on the kang, quickly saw Zhao Yi's figure through the faint candlelight, and called out affectionately.

In this Zhao family, the old man Zhao Yi is the only family member who is sincerely good to her, but his character is so weak that Nan Yan can't see any hope at all.

"Yan'er, I have thirty Wen here. It's not much, but it's enough for you to leave this Shugang village. Son, hurry up, hurry up! When Mingda finishes eating, you won't be able to run away even if you want to." Zhao Yicong He grabbed a bunch of copper coins from his rag pocket and handed them to Nan Yan.

Nan Yan jumped off the kang and pushed the thirty copper coins back with her backhand, "No, father, what will you do if I run away? Fat aunt will definitely not let you go. No, I will give you the money." I can't, and I won't drag you down, just walk away."

As long as Nan Yan can remember, she has known that she is not Wang's biological child, and Wang has been torturing her for more than ten years, so she can only reluctantly call Wang "fat aunt".

"Yan'er, be obedient! Do you want to marry that Mr. Dai's parents? That's a scum, ignorant, idle, greedy for beauty, not much better than our family Mingda. Obedient, take these copper coins and hurry up Let's run..."

"Hey, which play is this?" Wang pushed open the creaking door, held her head up, and walked in step by step, followed by Zhao Mingda with rice grains on her mouth.

"You old man, I knew you would do this!" Wang Shiman said in a loud voice, stepped forward a few steps, and snatched the copper coin from Zhao Yi and Nan Yan, "Okay, you old man, how dare you carry me behind your back? Save money for your own house!"

Mrs. Wang poured the copper money into her pocket, and pushed Nan Yan hard, pushing her to the edge of the kang. If Nan Yan hadn't reflexively reached out and pushed her back, her waist might have been crushed. Flash arrived.

And at this moment, Nanyan's jade bracelet hidden in the sleeve of the coarse cloth accidentally exposed, and it happened to fall into the eyes of Wang's love for money.

"Hey, you little bastard, what kind of precious treasure is in your hand? Come on, take it out and show it to my old lady!" Shi Wang stepped forward and approached Nanyan.

It was only then that Nan Yan noticed the carved jade bracelet exposed on her arm, and quickly covered it tightly with her other hand, "No, this is handed down from my ancestors, and I won't give it to you."

Nan Yan was in a hurry, so she blurted out such a sentence.This Nanyan is not that Nanyan, so the so-called ancestors are not the same thing.
