The villagers are too poor to even have food to eat. Any daughter-in-law or daughter with a distinctive appearance at home doesn't mind being given a child by a wealthy and powerful family. When they get tired of women, they will return the woman to the village.
If it is the daughter of the family, then sell the daughter and then fry the remaining value and earn the last amount of silver.
If it is a wife at home, after being taken home, there will be someone to help with the work, and the men at home will not suffer any losses.
The more poor a place, the more miserable a woman’s status and destiny become.
Jiang Hexi said to Li coldly, "Don't listen to people talking nonsense, I just went to the city with my second uncle and others to make some money, and I borrowed money from relatives and friends.
, Only then can I have money to build a house. In order to build this house, I still owe foreign debts from relatives and friends everywhere. I don’t know how to live the winter in the future. Second aunt should not come to see me for jokes.” caset
After hearing this, Li looked at Jiang Hexi skeptically, "Really?"
Jiang Hexi lowered his eyes and said, "Second aunt, look at my face. My skin is not white. The eldest master in the city wants to teach a girl, but he is also a fair and beautiful girl.
yes."
Seeing Jiang Hexi's wheat-colored skin, Li believed most of the time.
After all, in Li's heart, if the city master wanted to give birth to a woman, he would probably give birth to a beauty like his daughter Hongxing first. How could he look at Jiang Hexi, who was not fair in skin?
Thinking of this, Li said, "I just said your second uncle is talking nonsense. Oh, your second uncle is really true!"
Jiang Hexi said, "My uncle's family had 90% of the family's property that year, and that's why, I'm not willing to give up. Now that my father has passed away, they still think about the property that my family has shared. I am an orphan like me, except for the
They said, what can we do?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.
Li showed a look of pity and looked at the big house that Jiang Hexi was about to build, and he was no longer so envious.
After all, they all borrow money to build a house, and they have to pay it back.
Grandma Jiang has three daughters, so maybe she has subsidized her three daughters.
Turning around, the news that Jiang Hexi was borrowing money from relatives to build a house spread throughout the village.
On the other hand, Jiang Changyao and Jiang Dazhuang's faces were not very good-looking.
It turned out that when the chestnut was sold last time, Jiang Changyao and his son had colluded with people from the street department and wanted to drive Jiang Hexi and others back to the countryside completely.
As a result, when he turned around, the street soldiers who had originally promised to be well-deserved, he directly took Jiang Changyao and his son and beat them up fiercely.
After the two of them cried and shouted at their parents, the tall man from the street cursed for a long time, and Jiang Changyao and his son learned the whole story.
After knowing the reason, the two of them became even more angry.
They had no idea that Jiang Hexi would be able to receive the care of a big shot.
Now Jiang Hexi’s stall is under the care of a big shot, and no one dares to make trouble, so the business is also very good.
On the other hand, Jiang Changyao and his son couldn't continue their business, so they could only go to the countryside in shame.
The two of them did not harm Jiang Hexi, but instead paid more than one or two silver dollars for their own money.
When Jiang Dazhuang was recuperating at home, he thought about it. If even a big shot like Jiang Hexi, how could he not look down on their Wanying?
You know, their family Wanying has not been basking in the sun since she was a child, just to cover herself up and find a marriage that will help the whole family.
So, after Jiang Wanying returned home from the outside, Jiang Changyao said angrily, "I went to the house of the boy in Zhao's family again? Zhaoli is much poorer than ours. The boy in Zhao's family is just a little bit hard to eat at first sight.
No contact with him in the future.”
After hearing this, Jiang Wanying felt very unhappy and said aggrievedly, "Dad, Brother Zhao is not the person you said. Brother Zhao is so talented, but he is just in trouble for a while. When the future, Brother Zhao will definitely make achievements."
After hearing this, Jiang Changyao sneered and said, "Making achievements? You should do it so easy? Although we changed from sinners to common people, if it doesn't matter, we can't live without this ghost place. You, don't be beaten by that Zhao.
The boy fooled him."
After pausing, he said, "Jiang Hexi knows to seduce wealthy and powerful big shots. Do you say that you are obviously good-looking, but you don't know how to go for a more promising man?"
This statement really aroused Jiang Wanying's thoughts. She stared at her beautiful eyes and said, "Dad, what did you say? He Xi seduced a wealthy and powerful figure? Where did you start with this?"
Jiang Changyao said coldly, "Your father, my elder brother and I went to the city to sell chestnuts. We were sure to drive them to the countryside, but a big man asked the street officials to say hello, and they were going to take care of Jiang Hexi!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Changyao's face became more and more gloomy.
Jiang Wanying looked unwilling.
Since she was a child, she liked to compare with her cousin in the next room. She always compared her cousin with anything she had.
It was Zhao Dalang. When he saw Jiang Hexi's fiancé telling his deep affection around him, Jiang Wanying's heart was so proud.
Just when she thought she had completely caught Jiang Hexi's fiancé's heart, she didn't expect to get such news?
Jiang Hexi actually secretly hooked up with a big shot in the city?
"Dad, no, no, right? He Xi's skin is not fair. If he was a big shot in the city, how could he like a girl like her?"
She touched her white and tender skin and didn't believe that Jiang Hexi was attracted to such a thing by a man with excellent conditions.
Jiang Changyao said, "How do I know what the master in the city thinks? Anyway, look at it. She is an orphan, and now she has started to build a new house. Our family still lives in the old house. I am delicious.
I will support you and I will not let you go to the fields to work since I was a child. You can’t let me raise you in vain.”
After a pause, he said, "Forget it, I hope you can't count on you anymore. Liu Sigen will definitely go back to the village to repair the house. When I look back, I will ask you. I don't expect you to live in Xifeng Alley, but if you have that money
The powerful master wants to give me a concubine or something, so you have to go out for me."
Maybe I felt that what I said was too heavy, and I calmed down my tone and said, "Wanying, Dad is really for your own good. Think about it, this woman, who wouldn't marry? If you marry the countryside
If you go out to work, your face will be covered in a few days. Look at Jiang Hexi. If she didn't go to work, could her skin be tanned? Look at your mother again.
An old face is like an old tree bark!”
"Wanying, Dad is all for your own good. Please wait for the news and wait for Dad to find a good family for you."
Now that the family is suffering from disaster, anyone with female relatives at home will think of their own ideas on making a living.
The same is true for Li at Liu Ergen's family.
Liu Hongxing of her family is young and beautiful, and she is beautiful. Although it is too hard to follow her fourth uncle to go to Xifeng Alley, she is reluctant to let her daughter be ridden by thousands of people, but if she takes advantage of her young and beautiful daughter,
If you give a rich and powerful man a concubine, once you have a son, it is not impossible for your daughter to reach the top in one step.
After Li left Jiang Hexi, he went to discuss with Liu Ergen.
Liu Ergen has been in a very angry mood recently. Since his property was robbed by a horse thief and burned his house, he has not looked better as he is struggling to survive.
When Li saw Liu Ergen, he said, "Husband, I have thought of a way to make money."
Liu Ergen glanced at Li and said anxiously, "What method?"
Mrs. Li looked at her children not far away and whispered, "We... might as well... let's go out with Hongxingdian!"
After hearing this, Liu Ergen's face changed suddenly and said, "Xiuer, what did you say? Hongxing is our biological daughter. How could you bear to let her be someone else's concubine?"
Li bit his lip and said disapprovingly, "Even in our family, no matter how well Hong Xing married, she would just marry a rural villager when she turned around, and continued to repeat the life of the two of us, and she would never live forever.
I don’t want to be warm when I hold my arms, and even the children I have given birth cannot be full and don’t have warm clothes. Husband, I don’t want to… I don’t want to see the children starving to death!”
As he spoke, Li couldn't help but burst into tears.
Liu Ergen felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, but he still didn't let go and said, "Don't worry about money, I'll find a way."
He went out that afternoon and did not come home that night. Early the next morning, Liu Ergen came home with a large bag of grain.
Li hurriedly greeted him and said, "Husband, how did this food come from?"
Liu Ergen had obvious scars on his body, his eyes were gloomy and flickering, and he said, "Don't worry about men's affairs, go and cook. I'm so tired, I'll have a nap first!"
Liu Ergen wrapped his torn cotton jacket beside him and immediately lay in the pile of hays and fell asleep.
Li looked at the blood stains on Liu Ergen's clothes. She shivered and did not dare to ask any more questions. She quickly turned her head and invited her two children to come over to cook together.
When Liu Hongxing and Liu Sangniu heard that their family had made a bag of food, they couldn't help but smile. Several people took a casserole and water, and at least they made their lives apart.
On the other hand, the day after the house was repaired, Mrs. Zhao came to the door.
Mrs. Zhao looked at the foundation laid with a good stone, and the more she looked at it, she became more and more satisfied. She directly found Jiang Hexi and said, "Fang'er, your house has been repaired, I will bring Dalang to move here together. Our two families will have a family together.
, From now on, Auntie, I feel sorry for you, do you think it is feasible?"
Jiang Hexi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Auntie Zhao, are you and Dalang really going to move to my house together?"
