Chapter 58
At this time, the people of Lao Qin's family woke up from their nap and came out when they heard the movement in the yard. When they saw Zhang Fangfang kneeling down, they asked,
"What's going on? What's going on?"
This time it was Wang Fengying who called out, "Do you think Widow Zhang was kicked in the head by a donkey, and she wants to sell her daughter to Yuan Li to be a concubine! Is it worth it for such an unworthy son?"
Zhang Fangfang played well with Qin Zhuzhu when she was little, and often ran to the Qin family. Because she was well-behaved and sensible, the Qin family had a good impression of her.
After hearing this, everyone began to scold Widow Zhang.
"This woman is really confused. She has taught her son wrongly, and here comes the daughter. Poor Zhang Dakui. If she continues to do this, she will be doomed."
Upon hearing her father's name, Zhang Fangfang burst into tears.
Seeing how miserable her little sister was, Qin Zhuzhen's nose also felt sore. She shook Wang Fengying's arm and said, "Mom, let's find a way to help Fangfang. She is different from her brother and her mother."
"How to save?"
"Let's ask Li Zheng to let Fangfang go and put her back in the village. Her mother will definitely not dare to go to the village to catch her. Once her brother is exiled, her mother will give up."
This is a method, but Wang Fengying is in a dilemma.
It was for the old Qin family that Li made the decision to drive Widow Zhang and her daughter out of the village. Now he is begging Li Zheng to put Zhang Fangfang back. Shouldn't the villagers think that the Qin family has brain bubbles?
Mrs. Qin saw her daughter-in-law's hesitation and said, "I'll go find Li Zheng and tell him whether Widow Zhang is a thing, but it won't harm the children."
After hearing what happened to Zhang Fangfang, Li Zheng also felt that Widow Zhang was crazy.
"Thankfully we drove this woman away. I don't know what crazy things she might do if she stays in the village."
"Looking over there, can the child Fangfang come back?" asked Mrs. Qin.
Li Zheng sighed, "We can't justify not letting her come back. But if we let her come back, will she, an unmarried woman, have to live alone in the village? Especially this winter, her family doesn't have a morsel of food, so she will starve to death.
In the village?"
"Letting her come back is part of our friendship in Xiaogang Village. As for how to live, it depends on her. That girl is very hardworking and can do embroidery. Maybe she can survive this winter."
Mrs. Qin is a senior citizen. Li Zheng always calls her aunt when he meets her and respects her very much. After hearing what she said, he said, "Then just follow aunt, but everyone can take care of her."
Mrs. Qin smiled approvingly, "You are a good kid. You are half of the credit for the mellow customs of our Xiaogang villagers."
Li Zheng smiled innocently, "Thank you, Auntie!"
Zhang Fangfang returned to the village just like this.
Her mother stood under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, pinching her waist and scolding her for three days.
"Little Hoof, get out of here! Your brother is exiled, your mother has a family and can't go back to suffer outside, but you are enjoying happiness alone, aren't you afraid that God will strike you with thunder?"
"I gave birth to you and raised you, but you don't listen to my mother and listen to the lies of the old Qin family. Are you a fool?"
"Don't be ignorant of your blessings. I'm not good to you. The old bustard of Wanhualou offered me thirty taels to buy you. I'm thinking about your happiness for the rest of my life, so I can't bear to part with it.
I agreed to Yuan Li with twenty-five taels of teeth, and I found you such a good home at the expense of five taels of silver, so why are you dissatisfied!"
In the first two days, Zhang Fangfang couldn't stop crying every time she heard Widow Zhang's words.
In her mother's mind, she is not even as good as a commodity!
When her eldest brother didn't get married, her mother said that she would ask her future husband's family for a huge betrothal gift so that she could marry her eldest brother.
Now the eldest brother has committed a crime and wants to sell her to him to redeem herself.
After listening to it for two days, my heart died.
It is better to have such a family than to have one. It may not be a good thing if we can take advantage of this incident to cut off the relationship.
The old Qin family does good deeds regardless of their future, but they don't know that this kind act of repaying evil with kindness will save the Qin family's life in the near future. This is a story for another day...
