Chapter 4 Returning to Her Parents' Home
Chapter 4 Returning to her parents’ home
When the boy saw this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Then he rubbed his hands while approaching Qin Zhiyi. Before he reached Qin Zhiyi's side, he had already begun to unbutton his belt.
At the same time, Qin Zhiyi had already opened the package and held a kitchen knife in his hand.
The boy couldn't wait to say: "It's better to be obedient. This will be good for everyone."
Qin Zhiyi said to Dabao: "Dabao, cover Erni's eyes and you are not allowed to look at them either."
As soon as the words were finished, Xiao She didn't realize what they meant. She only felt a pain in her lower body and screamed out in agony.
In just a moment, the boy huddled on the ground, covering the injured part with both hands, and kept rolling.
Qin Zhiyi picked up an arm-thick tree stick next to him and hit the boy hard on his body and head.
The little boy was in pain and kept begging for mercy, but Qin Zhiyi didn't stop. She didn't stop until the little boy fainted from the pain.
When Dabao heard that there was no movement behind him, he originally wanted to turn around and take a look, but was stopped by Qin Zhiyi.
"Don't turn around, just stand still and don't move. If I tell you to leave, you can take your sister with you."
Dabao responded, and Qin Zhiyi kicked the fainted boy again, wiped the blood off the kitchen knife on the boy and put it away, then walked to the brother and sister and said to them:
"Okay, let's go."
After what happened just now, and the distance was not too far, no other accidents happened to the next few people.
The mother and son didn't dare to stop along the way, and they walked for about half an hour before reaching the town.
Looking at the people coming and going on the street, Qin Zhiyi felt relieved.
At least here she no longer has to worry about someone suddenly showing up with evil intentions.
Because they hadn't eaten in the morning, the mother and son were tired and thirsty when they came to town. Qin Zhiyi went directly to a wonton stall and ordered two wontons.
The wontons are not expensive, only three pennies a bowl, and they are large and plentiful.
One bowl is enough for the two little ones, and she will have another bowl for herself.
Seeing these two little guys sweating profusely after eating, she also had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
While she felt sorry for the two little guys who were so young and had to follow her around, she was also relieved that the two little guys didn't even cry out when they were tired.
When the wontons were finished, she did not leave in a hurry, but let the two little guys rest.
As for her, while watching people coming and going, she looked at the shops in the town and thought about the problem.
In this era, if a married daughter is driven home, she will be ridiculed by the whole village.
At that time, even the family members will be laughed at by the villagers.
But these are trivial matters. What she is most worried about is that after she returns, she will be trafficked again by the original owner's incompetent father.
You know, selling children and daughters is common in this era.
Especially girls, whose status is humble, sometimes the price listed is not as much as an animal.
But, if she wants to survive in this world, she must accept the reality, please and be wary of her open-minded father.
When it was almost time to rest, Qin Zhiyi went shopping.
The carriage was hired in advance and the price was agreed upon to send them to Qianjiazhuang, which cost a total of 40 copper coins.
There were more than 20 miles of road left, so Qin Zhiyi thought it would be better to take a carriage. After all, with two children, it didn't matter if he endured hardships and hardships. He couldn't burden the children no matter what.
In this way, the groom led the carriage, and the two children sat on it. She asked the groom to follow her.
As for her, she first went to the town to buy gifts for her family.
In any era, women like new clothes.
There were a total of three brothers in the family, and each brother was married. Together with his mother, there were four women in total, so she directly bought four pieces of cloth, picked the four most popular colors, and asked her three sisters-in-law to return the money when the time came.
It's up to the mother to choose.
After picking out the cloth, I went to buy food. It would be convenient for them to eat by themselves or stay at their parents' house.
Then it was time to buy some pastries and gadgets.
There are not many varieties of cakes, the only ones available are sweet-scented osmanthus cake, donkey roll and water chestnut cake.
In addition to these items, she bought some of each. Qin Zhiyi also bought some honey, caramel, and two jars of daughter's red.
The children loved eating these so much that she even bought some more and kept them for the two little ones.
Nuer Hong was given to the original owner's father, after all, he would be asked to help with things later.
Salt is the first of all tastes. It is a scarce but necessary item, so she also bought some.
It's just that the refining technology in ancient times was not as good as modern times, and the salt you bought was thick and ugly in color, but it could still be used.
After buying the things, I calculated that I had spent more than 20 taels of silver. Only after finishing the shopping did Qin Zhiyi get on the carriage.
The groom waved his whip and drove to the place she said.
After driving for more than an hour, the carriage finally arrived at its destination.
Looking at the familiar village, Qin Zhiyi looked out and asked the coachman to drive the carriage further inside.
When the two little guys saw this, they also curiously leaned on the window and looked out.
Finally, he turned around and asked her, "Are you grandpa's house here?"
Qin Zhiyi said seriously: "Well, this is it."
In fact, according to the memory of the original owner, she really couldn't identify which family was the original owner's natal family.
But there were so many things in the car that the driver had to get them to the doorstep before he could carry them.
When she was wondering which one was her mother's family, she heard a voice shouting at her: "Little sister, is this you?"
Following the direction of the sound, Qin Zhiyi saw a man wearing coarse clothes standing in the field working. When he saw her, he kept waving to her.
Just looking at the man's outline, she felt a little familiar, so she hurriedly said to the groom: "Stop!"
The coachman pulled the reins and made a sound, and the carriage stopped.
Qin Zhiyi got off the carriage and shouted loudly to the man not far away from his memory: "Brother is me, I am Ayi."
When the man heard the sound, he happily rushed from the field to the roadside.
In fact, even the original owner has basically never come back in the past few years.
The last time I came back was four years ago when I was sold to Mr. Li and he returned happily.
After that, she never returned to her parents' home.
The man quickly came to her side. When he saw her, he wiped his sweat and said happily to her: "Little sister, why are you back?"
Qin Zhiyi said to the two little guys beside him: "Call uncle quickly."
Dabao and Erni obediently called uncle. When the man heard the voice, he smiled innocently, but when he spoke, there was a hint of bitterness in his tone: "Hey, uncle is here. I didn't expect the child to be so big, and he looks so happy.
"
Qin Zhiyi smiled and then whispered: "Brother, let's take the things back first. As for the other things, I'll talk to you later."
The visitor is Qin Daniu, the eldest brother of the original owner. As his name suggests, he is as strong as an ox.
So he carried four pieces of cloth and two bags of rice in one hand and took them away easily.
Qin Zhiyi carried the remaining pastries, malt candies, and honey in bamboo tubes by himself, and the two little guys also helped. Those who couldn't lift them would just hold them in his arms.
Although she didn't know the way, Qin Zhiyi was not worried at all under the leadership of her elder brother.
There were not many people in the village, so when they saw Qin Daniu carrying it on his shoulders, everyone stretched their necks to look.
After all, Qinjiazhuang is a poor place, and few people spend so much money all year round.
Finally, Qin Daniu stopped in front of several thatched houses, put the food in his hand on the ground, and said loudly: "Dad, mother, my little sister is back!"
