A glimmer of light flashed through Lao Chen's cloudy old eyes, and she said proudly, "Those girls, although they are thin and have sallow faces, are not good-looking, but their eyebrows are very good. As long as they take good care of themselves,
She is no worse than those girls in the city."
Chen Wangcai didn't react for a moment. He snorted disdainfully, "No matter how well-born she is, she is still a wild girl with no rules. When she joins a rich family, she still has to work as a rough servant. How much money can it be worth?"
Seeing that he didn't understand what she meant, Old Chen's Yu Jia became proud, "It only costs a few bucks to be sold as a maid. It's rare for them to be sisters, so naturally they went to that good place to become two pairs of sisters who are loved by everyone..."
…”
Before she finished speaking, Chu Pinggui's face changed, "What are you talking about?"
He was so angry that his face turned red and his voice changed tone, "Is this what you, an elder, said?!"
How stupid and poisonous!
Chu Pinggui patted the Kang table excitedly, "Dalang is a scholar and wants to take the imperial examination and become an official!"
"Cough, cough cough——"
Because he was so excited, he couldn't breathe evenly and couldn't stop coughing.
Chu Pinglin helped him caress his back and said coldly, "Our Chu family ancestors have never sold anyone no matter how poor they were. Now it's better. If there is no disaster or famine, you have to sell people. Do you still want to go to that place?"
Even if you sell it, you are not afraid to tell it and have your spine broken!"
Old Chen curled his lips and said, "Who asked that damn girl to do it? If I didn't beat her to death, it would be a big deal! What's wrong with selling it is none of other people's business. Whoever wants to say it can tell."
Chu Pinglin said angrily, "It's none of other people's business? It's none of Dalang's business. The girls in the second room are his cousins! If his classmates, sir, and future colleagues find out, do you think he
What else is there to have a clean reputation?”
After quarreling with Old Chen, he secretly exhaled a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Chu Dalang, and said warmly, "Da Lang, in the final analysis, your fifth uncle was responsible for today's incident, and the money was paid back to him.
debt……"
Seeing that he was about to pull him, Chu Shouxin knew that he was going to suffer. While secretly cursing the old man, he quietly moved to escape, but was stopped by Chen Zhenhe's voice, "Stop!"
As his mother's uncle, Chen Zhenhe has always been strict with the Chu brothers. His uncle's aura is full of dignity and majesty.
Chu Shouxin was not afraid of his parents, but he was most afraid of Chen Zhenhe. Under normal circumstances, he would stay away from him and never approach him. What's more, if something was wrong today, he would naturally hide as far away as he could.
How far.
It's just that the two boys from the Chen family have been guarding the door. He had no chance to escape just now, so he could only shrink down and hide behind Chu Shouyi.
Now there is nowhere to hide.
Chen Zhenhe slammed the table, "Kneel down!"
Chu Shouxin knelt down with a plop, not even daring to stutter.
Seeing that he was quite honest, Chen Zhenhe snorted coldly, "I'll settle the score with you later."
The most important thing now is to get the money back, not the time to get angry with this bastard.
Chen Zhenhe knew that he could not expect Chu Shouxin to repay the money, so he still bit Chu Ning's sisters and said, "What Brother Pinglin said makes sense. Dalang will be an official in the future. If anyone knows that his sisters have been sold to such
I’m afraid it will damage the reputation of this place.”
He pretended to be deep in thought and continued, "Sister, it's better not to make this idea."
It would be fine if Mrs. Chen hadn't thought about it. Now that she has thought about it, it would be difficult for her to press it down.
"You damn girl is full of cheap bones. If you sell her by the pound, she won't be worth much money. If you don't sell her to that place, how can you make such a big loss?"
Thinking that the white money was given away from Chu Ning, Old Chen felt itchy with hatred.
I wish I could let her die!
So she insisted on selling the Chu Ning sisters to such a dirty place, not only for money, but also for revenge. She wanted Chu Ning to experience all the suffering, preferably the kind that could not survive but not die, so that she could taste it.
Suffer it alive until your mind and spirit are gone.
Chu Pinglin saw Old Chen's viciousness and couldn't help feeling disgusted.
Even Chu Pinggui didn't like her. If it wasn't for Chen Zhenhe's presence, he would have scolded her a few times.
Because Chu Pinglin and Chu Pinggui had a firm stance, and Chu Dalang's future was at stake, Mr. Chen finally had to give up his evil thoughts.
However, she was angry in her heart and had no intention of sparing the third wife, "Then we can sell her to a rich family and work as a maid. This won't affect the big man at all."
Chu Pinglin sighed and said nothing more.
Chu Pinggui also said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
So, after wasting a long time talking, things turned around again.
According to the market, four girls cannot be sold for fifty taels of silver.
Lao Chen: "If it's not enough, let the third child make up for it."
Chu Pinglin frowned, "The money was used to pay off the gambling debt for Shouxin, how can I let Shouli pay it back?"
He really couldn't stand it. Just because Shouli had no son, he behaved like this. Not only did he sell his daughter, but he also had to bear a debt of one or twenty taels of silver. How could he be so bullying?
.
This, this is simply driving people to death!
Mrs. Chen secretly scolded Chu Pinglin for being nosy, "It is the third daughter who is the cause of the money. Who else should I ask for it from if not him?"
"But the debtor obviously kept his word, and the money was repaid for him..."
The two people were arguing with each other, and their faces were red. Kong, who had just returned from her parents' home, barged in and asked, "What money? Whose money is it?"
"Also, what happened outside? Who kicked in our door? Those things in the yard were also smashed..."
She asked breathlessly, "What happened?"
But she was frightened to death. The whole yard was in a mess, and it looked like it had been robbed. If she hadn't heard the voice of Old Chen speaking, she wouldn't have dared to come in.
"What?! How dare that damn girl Zhaodi?!"
After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Mrs. Kong ran to the west wing like crazy. After finding no one, she ran to the kitchen. When she saw Mr. Qin, she screamed and rushed over with claws and teeth.
"I'll beat you to death! A chicken that can't even lay eggs dares to bully me!"
"Ahhhh——, sister-in-law, stop fighting!"
Mrs. Kong called out to Mrs. Qin mindlessly, scratching and scratching her. After a while, she left several blood marks on Mrs. Qin's face, which made her scream in pain.
In the midst of the commotion, Chu Shouli came back carrying a bruised and swollen Chu Shouren.
Neither the Chen family nor Kong's mother and son left the south of the village, so they did not encounter Chu Shouren who was thrown into the ditch in the field by Bai San.
Chu Shouli was coming back from Zhenzheng and happened to be able to see him.
"Child mother!"
Seeing that Mrs. Qin had been wronged, Chu Shouli was naturally unhappy, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? If you can't talk about something slowly, how can you hit someone?"
"The beating is still gentle!"
Kong glared angrily and was about to curse, but she saw her man lying motionless on Chu Shouli with his head hanging down.
She screamed and rushed over, "Master! What's wrong with you?"

"Eat meat, I want to eat meat!"
As soon as the rabbit meat was grilled over the fire and the aroma came out, Laidi couldn't help it any longer. Yingdi was also so greedy that her mouth watered. Even Pandi, the most stable person, quietly swallowed her saliva.
Chu Ning slowly tore off the skin of the yam, then broke off a piece and handed it to Lai Di, "Your little belly is hungry all the year round, and there is no smell of meat, so you don't dare to eat meat. Now, eat some yam first.
Once you’ve mastered rabbit meat, you’ll be fine if you eat some breast meat.”
Laidi didn't understand these principles, but she was always obedient. After hearing the words, she obediently took the yam and ate it deliciously.
To her, this tasteless roasted yam was already a delicacy in the world, so she was very satisfied.
Chu Ning divided some yams for Pandi and Yingdi, "It's the same for you two, you can't eat too much meat."
Thinking that she was no better than the three of them, she sighed deeply, "I can't eat more."
Pandi blinked, "Then..."
Chu Ning said angrily, "What is that?"
"If you can't finish one meal, you won't save it for another meal."
As she said this, she raised a larger rabbit and said, "Keep this one and eat it tomorrow."
