When the village chief saw that Mrs. Cao was determined to break the jar because she couldn't get enough oil and salt, he knew that he couldn't manage it well, and he was very angry.

But daddy said that people can’t be driven out of the village unless absolutely necessary, otherwise, he would just kick them out right now!

There is no other way, the village chief still has to show his momentum, and it is also good to scare him.

"Ms. Cao! As the head of Songshan Village, I would like to ask you, should you return this girl and return home, or should I expel your Cao family from Songshan Village?!"

Mrs. Cao's mouth widened when she heard this, and she also paused with the big broom in her hand. She didn't take it seriously and said with a grin: "Why are you being expelled from the village? What kind of evil thing have I done? Village chief, do you deserve to be like this?"

As the saying goes, you can’t look at the Buddha’s face without looking at the monk’s face. My damn old man’s grandfather also fled to Songshan Village with the big guys back then, so he doesn’t even care about this kind of affection?”

"What a big deal! I just bought a little girl and asked me to return it to my family. Where else could I go? It's not like I bought it casually in a dental store. It was something that a family in the village down the mountain far away insisted on.

Sold to me! That family is so poor that they can’t even afford to eat, and they wish they could sell their sons and daughters! I gave all my money, and if I really give it back, that family won’t do it!”

"What's the use if you can't stand it, village chief? If you have the ability to find that person to pick him up? He still has a few babies waiting to be sold, so how can you bother to care about this?"

"I said the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Is everyone okay? Aren't everyone rich this year? We have glutinous rice cakes, glutinous rice balls, noodles, and bacon. If you have this leisure, go to town and go shopping if you have nothing to do! Buy and buy.

Making new clothes, buying new year’s goods and so on! They always hang around my house for everything they do!”

"This is just eating carrots and not worrying about it! You have to be lenient. Just ask this girl if she is happy with it!"

After saying that, Mrs. Cao stepped forward, pulled the little girl, and said in a bad tone: "Come on, come on, Xiaocao, you decide for yourself, are you willing to stay at my house and be my son's wife?"

The girl named Xiaocao looked timid and not very courageous. When Mrs. Cao pulled her, she nodded and said, "Yes."

But Mrs. Cao thought her voice was too soft, so she took her two steps forward, told her to speak louder, and said it again to everyone.

Xiaocao thought about what Mrs. Cao had told her before, that as long as she stayed here well, she would have food to eat, she would never be hungry again, she would have new clothes to wear, and she would never be cold again.

She was scared of hunger, the cold, and being beaten by her parents. She didn't want to go back, she wanted to stay here.

A daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law. Brother Dabao from his village got a new daughter-in-law and treated her very well. She can eat egg custard every day, she doesn’t have to work, and she looks good in her clothes!

Besides, a girl is born to be a wife, and she has only been one for a few years.

As long as she is well fed and clothed, she is willing to be my wife now!

He nodded hurriedly and said in the loudest voice he could muster, "I, I am willing to stay here."

The villagers couldn't help but look at each other. The village chief and his wife looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do.

The girl that Mrs. Cao bought back with money is still a girl that the family is willing to sell, and this girl is willing to stay here.

In this way, it seems a bit untenable for them to gather around and yell at Mrs. Cao for being dishonest and asking her to return the person.

Listen, isn't this just a dog meddling in other people's business?

The village chief's wife sighed heavily. As long as this little girl was in her teens, she would not delay the work at hand. Baba came over to make trouble for herself. They were in a hurry to take over the embroidery work.

Yes, it will be delivered before fifteen days.

Now Mrs. Cao refuses to give her back, and she seems to be very reasonable. Do you really want to drive her out?

She couldn't help but look at the village chief.

When the village chief saw that Mrs. Cao could not be frightened, he kept talking affectionately. Thinking about what his father said, not one of the twenty-five households in Songshan Village could be left behind, and he sighed.

In the end, he only looked at Cao Daqiao, who had remained silent, and said, "Just take care of yourself."

Then he turned around and left.

When the villagers saw that the village chief and his wife were gone, they all shook their heads and dispersed.

Song Qiu held Old Yuan's hand and followed a group of old ladies outside.

Listening to Mrs. Zhang's cursing words and Mrs. Wang's words from time to time, I felt a little heavy.

That little girl is too young, so she probably doesn't understand what's waiting for her.

After we left the village and climbed the gentle slope to go home, only Lao Yuan, Lao Deng, Song Qiu and Zhang Zaohua were left with us.

As they walked into the yard, Old Deng said: "That girl looked at me and thought her life was not easy in the past. It's hard for her to say that Mrs. Cao lied a few words. After she was fed and clothed, she was obedient and willing to do anything. Alas! It's also a blessing.

Already."

"Who says it's not the case? The family is so poor that they are selling their sons and daughters. Didn't you listen to Granny Cao? There are still several children waiting to be sold at home. How can this be a good family? It's hard to say that this girl only cares about the Cao family.

What about the day? We can’t bear to see this matter, but we can’t care about it either.” Old Yuan nodded in agreement.

Song Qiu listened and nodded subconsciously. Yes, they looked at the Cao family as a pit of fire. For the little grass who was not well-fed and well-clothed in the previous home, it could not be said that it was a blessed nest.

Mine is arsenic, he is candy.

It depends on how far the Cao family and their son have reached.

But here, the village chief went home angrily and told Mr. Tang about this.

"Dad, what the Cao family did is really inhumane, but we still can't take care of it. We can only watch helplessly. You said you can't expel people from the village. I'm really angry in my heart."

Mr. Tang has known about such a big movement for a long time, but at his age, he doesn't just wander around and join in the fun.

Seeing that his almost sixty-year-old son was still as angry as a young boy, he dusted off the old cigarette stick in his hand and didn't say much else. He just said: "If buying and selling people violates the law, you can still file a lawsuit."

, but who says it’s not illegal? Let’s see again.”

The village chief listened, and no matter how angry he was, he could only endure it.

Mr. Tang looked at it and couldn't help but sigh, "I have to go down sooner or later. Mingde is so focused on his medicinal herbs. I have to ask you to work harder to help cultivate Awen. This Songshan

The village is a big burden, and it falls on the shoulders of our Tang family. It's so heavy! You can't relax. You have to take care of your body. You are almost sixty, you think you are still young."

When the village chief heard what his father said about not being able to go on, he couldn't help but his eyes turned red. "Dad is still in good health. He will live a long life. You have taught Awen since he was a child."

, he is also seventeen this year. When he grows up, dad will teach him for a few more years, and he can teach him better than his son."

…

Something bad happened to the Cao family again. The villagers couldn't see it and had no choice but to pretend they couldn't see it.

However, they all have a tacit understanding not to spread this kind of thing outside the village.

Do not let the family ugliness be publicized, and the village ugliness should not be publicized either.

Just thinking about that girl at such a young age, all the women in the village, who were also women, felt a little distressed.

Some people are still secretly paying attention to what's happening in the Cao family.

I saw that Xiaocao was really wearing new clothes and new shoes, and she looked like she was well fed and not hungry. Occasionally, she could see a smile on her face. She followed Mrs. Cao to tend the vegetable garden and helped Cao Daqiao to clear the bamboo.

Bianzi, it really looks like living a normal life.

There was no sound of beating or scolding from the Cao family, nor was there any crying or shouting from the grass.

When the villagers looked at it, they didn't know what to say.
