After hearing the cough, Mrs. Li's face changed slightly and she wiped her tears, "Mother Ying, don't hate me and your father. We have loved you for so many years and raised you so big. Now is the time for you to honor your father and mother.

Your father is weak. If he doesn’t eat something good, he won’t be able to survive, let alone go back to his hometown after the Chinese New Year.”

Li Yingniang trembled when she heard this. No matter how she begged for mercy, her parents made up their mind to sell her.

Li Yingniang looked desperate, and suddenly she saw the son of the second brother's family at the door, her eyes showed viciousness, "Mom, I know you are reluctant to sell the eldest brother and the second brother, because they are both born to you, but the two sons of the second brother's family are not

Why can't you sell the one you gave birth to? Anyway, if you marry your eldest brother and second brother again, you can still have grandchildren. But mother, I am your biological child. You are so old, and you want to follow your father again.

It’s not easy to have a daughter.”

Mrs. Li also thought the same way and was reluctant to sell her daughter.

It's just that the old man in the family has always said that men are the incense of the family. That's fine, just let the girl feel pain. Since there is no condition now, the only choice is to wrong the girl.

Just at this time, there were a few more loud coughs coming from outside.

At this time, Old Man Li was impatient outside.

Old Man Li is the tallest person in the family. He takes the lead in good things, but in bad things, if he can't save face, Mrs. Li takes the lead.

For example, when selling his daughter-in-law or his granddaughter, he let Mrs. Li take the lead, and he acted as a good person behind the scenes.

When Mrs. Li heard the urging and reminder from outside, she could only harden her heart, "Ying Niang, your brother and your nephew are both the roots of the Li family, how can they be sold? Don't worry, your father and I will not sell you.

When you go to the brothel, you will be sold to a wealthy family first, and then you will be redeemed after your father recovers and earns money."

When it's hot, Old Man Li doesn't want to go out and write letters to make money.

The weather is neither cold nor hot now, but it is easy to get angry. Old Li is feeling unwell and refuses to go.

When the weather gets cold, Old Man Li will not learn to make money.

However, the money from selling my daughter can last until after the new year, when the government pays the money and I can return to my hometown.

As for the daughter, she has been sold to a wealthy family, maybe she can live a wealthy life?

When Li Yingniang heard this, she was so angry that she fainted.

Even if he fainted, it did not change Old Man Li's decision.

Old Man Li looked at his two sons and urged, "Don't waste time. Take Ying Niang out while she faints. Don't cry or make trouble now!"

When Li Yuangong and Li Yuanwu heard what their father said, they sighed and pretended to go in and carry their sister Li Yingniang out.

When we arrived at Renyazi, many people were queuing up.

There are many people like Old Man Li and Old Mrs. Li. They are selling their daughters-in-law, daughters, and granddaughters. In the eyes of the world, these are outsiders.

If you can no longer survive, of course you have to sell yourself to outsiders.

Li Yingniang woke up slowly and trembled with fright when she saw the familiar person Yazi.

"Brother, mother said she would sell me to a rich family, why did you bring me to Mrs. Hua?" Li Yingniang was so excited that she didn't dare to faint anymore. She was afraid that when she woke up, she would already be receiving customers in the brothel.

Li Yuangong looked embarrassed and said sarcastically: "This is dad's decision. You are a yellow girl, better looking than your second sister-in-law. You can sell it for ten taels of silver, but you can only buy it for six taels of silver to a rich family."

Li Yuanwu lowered his head and said nothing, feeling uncomfortable.

Although his wife was average-looking, she was very kind to him. His parents made the decision and sold his wife and daughter.

Although his parents comforted him and offered him a wife in the future, Li Yuanwu still felt uncomfortable.

Li Yuanwu even complained in his heart to his eldest brother and his parents. Why did he leave his eldest sister-in-law and his two nieces on the other side of the river in the first place? If he had spent an extra three taels of silver to bring his eldest sister-in-law and two nieces over, he would have sold his eldest sister-in-law and niece.

Not his wife and daughter.

Li Yuanwu just thought about it and didn't dare to say it at all.

Anyway, he will sell it if his parents ask him to sell it, so what if he is a biological sister?

Anyway, he can't run a household, so he will do whatever he is asked to do.

Li Yingniang struggled and kept crying and begging for mercy, "Brother, please sell me to a wealthy family as a slave. Don't sell me to a brothel, otherwise I will only die. So it would be better to die cleanly now than to die then."

Die."

After saying that, Li Yingniang was about to hit the tree not far away.

Li Yuangong quickly grabbed Li Yingniang and urged Li Yuanwu, "Second brother, hurry up and help. If you can't fulfill your father's instructions, you and I will not have a good life."

Only then did Li Yuanwu come over and capture Li Yingniang together with Li Yuangong.

Li Yingniang was desperate. She screamed at the sky and the earth for no response, her eyes were dull, and she accepted her fate.

At this time, I heard someone talking.

"Have you heard? People who are fleeing from the north can now stay in the south as long as they are willing to open up wasteland." A middle-aged man said, with a well-informed look.

"Really? Is it really possible to open up wasteland?" Another short man asked again, with a curious look on his face.

"Of course, but now that we are clearing up wasteland, there is no food. Unlike those people in Lijia Village, who are still clearing out wasteland when the weather is hot. There are wild vegetables everywhere and they can eat enough." The strong man sighed, "Those people just rely on this

Angry, a wasteland has opened up."

Li Yuangong and Li Yuanwu just listened and didn't take it to heart. There were many village names like Lijiacun with bad streets. Over there from their hometown, there was Lijia Village thirty miles away, so they

Not curious at all.

Li Yingniang was curious, maybe this was her way to survive?

"Brother, did the Lijiacun you mentioned come from the north fleeing famine?" Li Yingniang asked, her voice urgent.

The strong man replied: "Yes, there are talented people in this Lijia Village. They are very powerful. They discovered and cultivated high-yielding sweet potatoes. One acre of land weighs five to six thousand kilograms. His Majesty personally ordered a reward of one hundred taels of gold. But Lijia Village was previously

It was renamed Jixiang Village, and it also ordered the construction of Jixiang Town. The mayor is a female mayor, which is amazing."

Li Yingniang asked again: "Brother, you are well-informed. You must know the name of the female mayor?"

"Of course, my hometown is Cuiyang County, and I know it very well. Your Majesty's personally named Mrs. De Rui, whose surname is Liu, and her name is Liu Pan'er. She is now the fifth-grade imperial concubine." The middle-aged man replied with an envious look on his face.

, I heard that the fifth rank is a higher official than the county magistrate.

At this time, Li Yingniang cried with joy and shouted: "That is my third sister-in-law. We were separated on the way to escape from the desert. We used to be from Lijia Village..."

After saying that, Li Yingniang looked at her two brothers and said, "Eldest brother, second brother, you don't have to sell me out. Our family has prospered."

Li Yuangong and Li Yuanwu couldn't believe it, "How can the third brother and sister have such ability? Stop dreaming."
