Chapter 5 Your daughter deserves it

After sleeping well yesterday, Ma Changjiang woke up early and went out with the rabbit at dawn.

After a night, the four rabbits were in good spirits, and none of them was dead.

Majia Village is not far from the town, about two or three miles away.

Ma Changjiang arrived at the town before noon with his cage in hand, and his rabbit was still alive and kicking.

"Rabbits for sale!"

"A hopping rabbit."

"The rabbit was just shot in the mountains yesterday."

He doesn't specialize in selling rabbits, so he has to carry a cage and shout.

When you see something you want to buy, stop, negotiate the price, and then the deal is done.

Ordinary citizens get less, restaurants get a little more, and dignitaries who love game get the most.

It all depends on luck. If you are lucky, people will like it, but if you are unlucky, you may not be able to sell it.

It just so happened that the concubine of Mr. Wang's wife gave birth to a big fat boy in the town two days ago.

The concubine was short in stature and thin in stature. Before she got pregnant, she loved to eat some game meat just like Wang Yuanwai. After giving birth to the child, she loved it even more. She has been clamoring for a bite of wild rabbit meat these days.

He stopped eating without her, and within three days he ran out of milk.

I originally hired a wet nurse, but I couldn't stand the stubborn temper of Young Master Wang. He wouldn't take milk that wasn't his own mother's.

Seeing that the newborn baby was crying from hunger, Yuan Wang was so anxious that he sent someone out to buy it.

It was also luck. As soon as Wang Wu, the steward, went out, he met Ma Changjiang, the rabbit seller.

The market price was ten cents per catty of rabbit meat, so Wang Wu directly gave him thirty cents per catty.

Ma Changjiang's four rabbits weigh approximately twenty-four or five kilograms, including the pheasant, which is calculated as thirty kilograms.

In the blink of an eye, Ma Changjiang made nine hundred cash, and he was very happy.

"My family is in great need of these game meats recently. If you have them, send them directly to my house."

Wang Wu didn't bother to look for it anymore: "As long as it's from the mountains, I'll just send it to you. The price won't be bad for you."

Breastfeeding doesn't end in a day and a half, and the game will last for a while.

Even though she is a concubine, she can't hold it in her mouth, and she won't eat it at all if it's not from the mountains.

After hearing this, Ma Changjiang quickly took a hundred coins and gave it to Wang Wu: "Thank you, manager, for your advice."

Wang Wu was not polite, and after taking the money, he quietly said to Ma Changjiang: "My husband and wife like to eat big fish from the river and game from the mountains, especially crabs. You must be able to get a good price."

I don’t know if the food in the mountains is good, but my concubine gave birth to milk the same day after eating the rabbit.

The king was so happy that he asked his concubine to eat it every day and rewarded the steward one tael of silver.

Wang Wu slumped his waist, feeling extremely happy.

There are more than a dozen stewards in this mansion, big and small. If he shows off his face this time, his life will be fine in the future.

He had to take care of the game purchase.

Ma Changjiang was overjoyed to have eight hundred coins in his pocket.

Eight hundred coins a day, ten days is eight taels of silver, and one hundred days is eighty taels of silver.

It won't be long before he can save a hundred taels of silver for his daughter's dowry.

When the autumn harvest comes, he is selling the sweet potatoes and wheat in the field, and maybe he can buy his daughter a house in the city.

On the way back, he bought a ewe for 150 Wen.

There is only one sheep in the family, which is barely enough for his daughter now, but it won't be possible if she gets older.

I specially bought another sheep today, so that the girl can drink it for free and get fat.

After wandering around the market, Captain Ma bought some embroidery thread for his wife and a rattle for Malan, before returning home happily.

He had to go back quickly to tell his wife the good news.

Majia Village is very lively right now, Mrs. Wang’s father is here.

Now that the matter of his son drinking milk has been settled, it is time for him to come and see his daughter and let her see his brother.

He wants to tell his daughter that she will also have brothers to support her in the future.

He brought a lot of things with him when he came, and Lao Ma's family also beat gongs and drums to welcome him.

Unable to wait for his servants to move everything in one by one, Wang Yuanwai took his wife to see his grandson.

Old Man Ma was unwilling and insisted on taking him to drink tea.

Mr. Wang had no choice but to ask his wife to go talk to him first.

It was noon as soon as he drank the tea, and Lao Ma's family left him to have dinner at home.

Yuan Wang didn't like eating at other people's homes, so he excused himself from having to go home for something at home.

He thought about seeing his granddaughter before going back, but before he even entered the door, he heard that Mrs. Ma had sold her granddaughter.

I was so angry that I almost couldn't recover.

"Those are your own flesh and blood, and you sold them as soon as you said they were for sale?" Wang Yuanwai gasped and scolded his daughter: "Are you a mother-in-law?"

"It's not selling, it's robbing." Wang argued: "If they didn't want it, my mother wouldn't sell it."

She wiped her tears with a handkerchief. How could she let go of the flesh and blood she had given birth to in ten months of pregnancy?

But what can she blame? Her daughter is a loser.

"you……"

Mr. Wang was very angry: "You want me to say something good about you, but the family can't get rid of the problem? We have to sell our daughter to subsidize it."

Five taels of silver was less than what he paid for a meal.

His granddaughter, Wang Bo, is so worthless and let people waste her.

Wang lowered her head and dared not speak. She had been afraid of this father since she was a child.

"That's all, the child is there, I'll go and redeem it for you."

"Here, on the east side of the village, near the Yangtze River."

When Old Man Ma saw Wang Bo walking out in an angry manner, he thought that Mrs. Wang was angry with Wang Bo.

He glared at Mr. Wang fiercely and hooked his arm around Wang Bo's neck: "You're so good, why are you so angry?"

"Do you know that your granddaughter was sold by your wife?"

Wang Bo had nowhere to vent his anger, and the veins on his angry forehead were clearly visible.

Old Man Ma was stunned for a moment, knowing that the matter could no longer be concealed, so he could only say: "What can I do if I know? I can't go and get it back after it's done."

Wang Yuanwai is a businessman who is very good at observing people's behavior and can see clues at a glance.

This may not be what my daughter said. She turned around and saw the three girls in the corner.

A skinny little man covered in patches stood under the shadow.

"Brother, tell me honestly, have you given me so many things over the years and have you not given them to my daughter? You have hidden them yourself."

Wang Yuanwai's face turned blue and he hated himself for not having eyes.

He didn't realize that the girl had suffered so much for so many years. He really deserves to die.

"Hide? Why should I hide?" Old Man Ma was not afraid at all: "It's because your daughter is incapable of giving birth to a son and can't bear these things."

"If you are dissatisfied with my daughter, you can just tell her directly. At worst, I will take her home. Why do you torture her like this?"

Wang Yuanwai was heartbroken. How could he not feel uncomfortable when his precious daughter, whom he had worked so hard to raise for more than ten years, was being tortured like this?

The three granddaughters in the corner looked sallow and thin, and it was obvious from a glance that they had not lived a good life.

I'm just afraid that I won't be able to eat even a full meal.

He only felt that his heart had been pinched hard, and he was throbbing in pain.

"Are you short of money? You want to sell your granddaughter to support your family."

"That's what your daughter deserves." Old Man Ma was also very angry.

I have been married for ten years and have not given birth to a son. It is simply a dream to want to eat and drink well.

If it weren't for the life-saving grace and Wang Bo's sensible nature, he would have asked people to send him a large amount of money every year. He would have let the third child get rid of this chicken that can't lay eggs.

He has already raised three losers, how many more do you want him to raise?

He doesn't even know what he is and dares to yell at him.
